Daily Nebraskan VOL. XVII, NO. 36. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA. LINCOLN. WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1917. PRICE FIVE CENTS STUDENTS MAY CORRECT ADDRESSESJN DIRECTORY, Proof Sheets at College Book Store Today BOOK MUST BE ACCURATE Each Year Are Many Mistakes Stu dents May Leave Corrections in Register In Store The proof sheets of the new Student .directory have Just been received from the printer and have been placed in the window of the College Book Store where students may look over them today to see if their names and ad dresses are correct. If they are not the correction may be left inside in a register that has been provided. In former editions of the directory there have always been a large num ber of mistakes and these have caused a great deal of inconvenience and loss of time throughout the year. Realizing the importance of having correct ad dresses the editors this year have de cided to give the students a chance to correct their addresses before the printing is begun. The directory will not be ready for sale until about November 11 this year, as scarcity of help in the print ing has caused delay. All the mate rial has been in the hands of the printers for some time, but they have been unable to get the work done. Corrections Big Benefit The book is In every way a? com plete this year as before and with the new plan of student corrections will be one of the most accurate that has been published. There will be the lists of faculty members and their addresses, rank and telephone numbers, the general alphabetical list of students with ad dresses, and the list of students ar ranged by towns. The sororities and fraternities will have their section and all members will be listed. The price of the book this year will be twenty-five cents, a slight increase owing to the Increased cost of publica tion. All those who wish leather cov ered books are asked to leave their orders at the V. M. C. A. office, as only those will be printed that are Didered.

Mills Hayes Says it Is Found Throughout the Empire "Germany is obessed with the im perialistic ideal," Rev. S. Mills Hayes, pastor of the Lincoln Episcopal church, told students and faculty at Convocation yesterday morning at 11 o'clock in Memorial hall. "We have been talking too super ficially when we say this ideal does not represent the German people but the Prussian element alone," Rever end Hayes continued. "The German people as well as Emperor William, wish the Germanification of the world." "This idea of dominion has been de veloped in Germany, not because of the warlike Prussian ruler. It is an ideal, a dream, if you wish, which has for centuries been seething in the German brain,". Reverend .Hayes as serted. "Emperor William has been one of the ablest of rulers," Mr. Hayes said. "He has brought his empire to a de gree of efficiency which amazes the world. It takes a big brain to have big ideas. I can quote from promi nent German thinkers before the war who asserted that South America and even North America must be Ger manized. One writer explains that at first the people of these countries will not like the idea of dominion by Germany, but that later they will see that it was all for the best." Traces From Roman Empire Reverend Hayes traced the imper ialistic idea of Germany from the Roman empire. The claim Emperor William is making now, and which is the fundamental basis of the other claims Germany Is making, terms Mr. Hayes described as "assertions of col lossal arrogance and even of blas phemy." is based upon the old Roman ideal of the divine right of kings. Emperor William has said, Mr. Hayes asserted, that "I reign as the instru ment of the Lord." "Go behind superficial views." Mr. Hayes urged, "and see that the idea has come down to them through the generations and through the cen turies. Then you will be able to un derstand how a nation like Germany would adopte measures that are so' uncalled for. so cruel, barbarous and brutal." "In order to defeat these people whose big ideal is "The Holy Empire of Germany," Reverend Hayes said, "the rest of the world must adopt a bigger ideal, the Ideal of "The Holy Empire of Man." Katheryn Howey spent the end of the week at her home In Beatrice. Margaret McDougal will leave Fri day for Ohiowa, where she intends to visit her sister the latter part of the week. D. W.

HUSKERS SCRIMMAGE WITH MID-SEMESTERS Hard Work for Missouri Game to Start Next Week MEN IN GOOD SHAPE All Except Riddell Will Be Ready for Hard Week's Pradtice Before First Valley Game Mid-semesters were the chief topics of conversation around the Cornhusk er football camp yesterday afternoon. Most of the men did not turn out for practice but spent the afternoon "cramming." The threat of ineligibil ity hangs over a few of the men and the next few days will be spent in gitting rid of the examinations. Practice this week will be confined for the most part to working out the stiffness and soreness from muscles and bones. Next week will see the varsity down to hard working, start ing with a scrimmage Monday prepar ing a string of pet plays for the en tertainment of the Missouri Tigers on the following Saturday. Captain Shaw will probably not get into many hard workouts until a day of two before the Missouri game. Prac tically every other man on the squad with the exception of Riddell will be in shape next week to go through a hard four days' work to get into con dition to battle the Missourians. Dobson, who has been playing a fine brand of ball all season, and who was the Cornhusker star last Saturday came through the game with hardly a scratch although subjected to some extraordinarily rough handling by the Wolverines. Weiman, the husky Michigan fulback, succeeded in plant ing his foot on Dobson's mouth three times during the game, and on four separate occasions a number of the Wolverine linemen piled on Dobson after he had gotten a punt away. Engineering Dept. Obtains Truck The department of mechanical en gineering has obtained a motor truck from the state farm to be used in col lecting samples for the coal analysis to be made by that department. Work on the real . analysis is expected to begin the last of the week. PIPER PROFITS WILL GO TO FRENCH ORPHAN FUND Leading- Part by Prof. Alice Howell Collier's Makes Favorable Comment Tickets for "The Piper" which is to be given November -9. at the Temple, are being sold by the various girls' organizations. Every seat in the theatre will be sold for 50c. All profits will go to the French orphan fund. The part of the Piper will be taken by Miss Alice Howell, the mayor by Earl Starboard. Cheat-the-Devil by Everett Randall and Veronica by Carolyn Kimball. Others taking part are: Katharine Pierce, Herbert Yenne, Herman Thomas, Elizabeth Brown. Florence Maryott. Metzinger, Eldridge. Reese and Richards. The play is not a conventional one. Collier's says of it. "The Piper voices the spirit of revolt against Pharisaical convention, smugness, and greed and all that society has done to cramp and distort life and make it dead and artificial." Something start'.ingly new is prom ised in the line of scenery and the ushers are far from ordinary ushers. Thomas, Starboard and Yenne are in charge of the stage management and Miss McPhee, Elizabeth Erazim and Eleanore Fogg have charge of the house arrangements. NEBRASKAN FREE TO UNIVERSITY SOUHERS Believing that Nebraska men actively engaged in the war are iust as anxious for news from the campus as their former classmates are for word from them, the man agement of The Nebraskan will send the paper free of charge to every Cornhusker soldier wnose address is known- You can help by sending lists of addresses to The Nebraskan, either mailing them to Station A or telephoning them to the business office, B-2597. i
