Dean R. Lcland Publishes Book
let Indicating; Value of faith
to Fighting: Men
IVnn Richmond Lets ml. IV. Pre
hytertan I'niveridty pastor ha writ
ton a very valuable booklet entitled
The Faith of Our Fighting Men.
I which Is a brief interpret-atlon of
"The Parable of the Wolf and the
Shepherd." It also contains a few
quotations from the savings of the
men at the front, who through bit
tor experience, know well the mean
In of the present world war.
This booklet will be sent to men
In camps and others desiring one
may obtain the same from lVan
Leland as long as his supply lasts.
Harry Lauder's prayer on his first
visit to the grave of his only son.
Captain John Lauder, of the Argyll
and Sutherland Highlanders, in the
cemetery at Courcelletc. France,
shows but one of the many sorrow
ful feelings new to the noted come
dian since his first realization of the
suffering experienced through the
world war.
Mr. Lauder has been personally at
the front and knows the bitter sting
of war. The prayer follows: "O
God. if I could have but one request,
it would be that I might embrace my
Laddie just this once and thank him
for what he has done for his coun
try and for humanity."
Rubert Brooke, sub-lieutenant; R.
X. V. R., who was a Fellow of King's
College, Cambridge, before his death
on a hospital ship during the Darda
nelles campaign, wrote the following
sonnet :
RED CROSS WORK
GAINS ADDED IMPETUS
Co -Eds Again Take Up War
Duties Under More Favor
able Conditions
With the University Red Cross
rooms neatly finished with a new
ooat of paint and other needed fur
nishings Nebraska co-eds are again
organized for a real campaign in
which to supply the Red Cross not
only with Nebraska's quota of band
ages and other materials but as much
in addition as the women are capable
of preparing.
During the past few months there
has been a marked lull in the ac
tivities of University girls in this
respect which has been due largely
and almost entirely to the conditions
of the rooms and also the smallpox
and measle epidemics that have been
prevalent about the campus. Now,
however, the great patriotic machine
has again swung into motion and the
near, future is expected to relate a
tale of women's patriotism never
before recorded on the pages of Ne
braska student history.
Already four handred women have
registered for Red Cross work. Thurs
day afternoon 13 reported for work
and Friday 46 were present and this
week will without doubt find many
more out- to do their share.
Classes have been arranged for
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1 to 6 o'clock
and Fridays, it to 12 o'clock. Girls
are requested to bring aprons, caps
and scissors.

Experts Consider University
Facilities for Training Sol
diers for Trench Warfare
The part that,the University of Ne
braska is to figure in the preparation
of V. S. fighters for service in the
trenches has become a new problem
in official circles, according to the
latest advices from those in authority
here. '
A recent visit by J. S. Wright of
the federal board of vocational edu
cation to examine the facilities which
this University offers for the training
of the prospective soldiers and in what
lines those facilities are to be obtatned
has given rise to considerable com
ment as to the probabilities of getting
some governmental institutions for
war time Instructions located here.
The Washington officials, however,
are retaining any definite information
regarding the matter and nothing of an
official character Is expected to be pub
lished until some time later. Mean
while the University win continue to
put in full time in the preparation of
Its men end -oni&n of war me ana
after-war time occupations.
'CHARITY CEASES TO BE

Cornhusker Manager Gives Or
ganization and Individuals
Week of Grace
Fair warning, the third and last
call and Thursday night the hammer
or Papa Thompson will Ihiimp on the
auction block the signal that all bids
for pictures in the War Baby have
closed. Whe Tithe fated hour arrives
at six Thursday a few silent excla
mations will be heard to be uttered in
muffle sweats, "He's Dead, Sue's
on me until the fall delivery.
Sincerely.
(MR. HURT MADE $45 PROFITS LAST WEEK
Dead, They're Dead," and just so
many times as "dead" is written on
the "Good-book" in the Cornhusker
office, there will be numbers of pic
tures of beautiful co-eds and hand
some University young men missing
S'rom the files of Nebraska students
in this year's Cornhusker.
Manager Thompson feels it to be
unnecessary to remind students and
organizations any longer of their re
sponsibilities in regard to the pay
ments of their pictures and therefore
is allowing the publication of their
names for their benefit to suffice as
a final warning.

If 1 should die, think only this of me
That there's some corner of a for

That is forever England. There shall
be
In that rich earth a richer duBt
concealed ;
A dust whom England bore, shaped,
made aware.
Gave once, her flowers to love, her
ways to roam.
A body of England's breathing Eng
lish air.
Washed by the rivers, blest by
puns of home.
And think this heart, all evil shed
away.
A pulse in the eternal mini, ito

And laughter learnt ot friends; and

Ernest Garside Black of the Mc
Master University, Toronto, Canada,
while going Into action at the Somme,
October, 1916, wrote an excellent
four-verse poem telling of his soul's
fearlessness of death.
The book Is filled with quotation
such as these and Indicates the valua
