NEBRASKA IN CHINA
This afternoon from 3:30 to 5 in
Faculty hall, the Temple, Dean Hepp
ner will give a tea in honor of Har
riet Taylor, executive of the Y. W. C. A
foreign department. This is "Ne
hraska in China" week. University
women will be asked to help with
the Y. W. C. A. work In China. Grace
Coppock, '05, is the national secre
tary in charge there.

that this is the time of world inter
ests. We are learning to project our
vision to all parts of the world, and
the help we will give our alumna in
China is simply another way we
have, nf fthowiner our interests in
world affairs.
DR. LELAND'S PAMPHLET
"The Faith of Our Fighting Men."
a pamphlet which has Just been pub
lished by Dr. R. L. Leland, Univer
sity pastor, is very interesting. The
pamphlet contains, besides a brief
interpretation, quotations in verse
and prose from the sayings of the
men at the front.
Dr. Leland says: "The strength
of high and steadfast purpose, ani
mating these fighting men Is proof
that the spirit of the crusades has
been born again in these knights of
the twentieth century, and this spirit
which animates them ought to take
possession of the non-flghting mil
lions back of the lines. They teach
us the meaning of this struggle. They
compel us to see what ideals and
forces in the world are really vital
and abiding."
This Incident was told by Dr. F. M.
Fling.
An Omaha woman has adopted a
French war orphan in the name of
her little girl. The little French
girl and her little sister in Omaha
had written a number of letters to
each other before Christmas time.
The little girl in Omaha wished to
send a "doll to France for a Christ
mas present.
"You could see the tears in rtie
letter the Frenjh orphan girl wrote
when she received that doll," the
woman said.
Nebraska has reason to be proud
of the work it has done for the
French orphans. The people of
Omaha, Lincoln and the vicinity of
Lincoln are caring for about 700 or
phans. Over 42,000 have been adopted
by the people of the United States.
Easter card? are beiug uoid for
the benefit of the French orphan
fund. TheBe cards in envelopes are
sold for ten cents. Dr. Fling has a
tsupply in his office. Students who
wish eome of the cards can obtain
them there.
"The pit of the whole thing," Dr.
Fling concluded, "Is that we can't be j
universal In our work, that we can't
do for the little ones of Germany
and Austria what we are doing or
the little ones of France."
To be able to answer German
hymns of hate in that language is a
point of view of life worth striving
for.

stingers, you wish they would shut
up and let you starve it out in peace
fto the bitter end of all.
It really isn't so bad as that, belt
sacrifice is an overworked word but
both man and his long-suffering
Maker know that it Isn't en over
worked practice. Stinginess should
begin severely at home and stay
there, and should apply only to one's
self. Then one can approach the ideal
of self-denial only if it is -in the in
t-erest of others, especially of one's
countrymen.
Starving is harrowing. Nobody
likes to think of it. Some people are
doing it. But not on Mount Oread
There is no call for it. Gluttony is a
thing of the past, h6wever, and Intel
ligently commanded appetites are
getting proper, sufficient satisfaction
Then don't look like martyrs ready
for the stake. Don't shrink as if a
crushing blow were about to descend
en you when you meet a word or a
sign that mildly suggests you buy a
thrift stamp or two or nurse along a
Baby Bond.
America has not begun to save yet.
Stinginess and starvation are not yet
come. They may not come. That de
pends on healthy economy and delib
erate saving now. Penury is a dif
ferent matter. So is national insolv
ency. There is an obligation in Just
being an American these days. We
win or we go broke together. And we
are going to win. Daily Kansan.
