O'Brien argued that compulsory

UNIVERSITY PLAYERS TO

Play Eased cn the Pranks of a
"Young Devil". Will Be Given
Monday Night
Suppose you were a young married
man aDd your wife wanted to adopt a
personage whom the neighbors all
designated as "a young devil." What
would you do? The answer is feed
him cocoanut pie and get him a dog.
This is the system used in the play
"Young America" which will be given
Monday. May 13, at S o'clock in the
Temple theatre by the University
players. All seats are selling for
25c and the reservation at the Col
lege Book Store starts today.
A Play of Escapades
The play "Young America," con
cerns the escapades of a young raga-
rumffin living with a gruff, old aunt
who wishes to get rid of him on ac
count of his ' superfluous fund of
youthful ezuberance and naughtiness.

such was the program through which
each company went, the standings of
the companies being posted on the
score board at the east end of the
field within a short time after they
had completed the maneuvers. Com
pany B took first place as soon-as it
had finished, and held its place until
displaced by Company E. After that,
the two companies held their respec
tive places, the following companies
falling in below second place.
Sponsors Present Trophies
Immediately following Individual
com pet. the companies were as
sembled and the regiment took its
place by battalions in regimental for
mation. The sponsors were escorted
onto the field by the first sergeants
of the companies, and in behalf of
the companies, they presented the
captains with wrist watches. Captain
H. B. Long, of the winning company,
was then presented the Omaha silver
loving cup by Acting Chancellor Hast
ings, and the winners of individual
honors received a $15 watch as first
prize and a f 5 founatin pen as second
prize. The regiment then passed in
review, companies being under com
mand of the first sergeants.
Sergeant W. J. Allen. Colonel E. C.
Jeffrey, and Colonel R. A. Jenkins
were judges of the eyent. As each
company went through its maneuvers.
it was Judged by points, the points
being posted soon after the company
had finished its work. t
A great deal of credit for the suc
cess of Company E must be given to
Capt. Harold B. Long, who led the
men through the formations. Taking
command of the company only two
weeks before com pet. he created a
company spirit that could not be
beaten, and the cash and pep dis
played by the men, not only in com
pel but also in the work preceding,
was one of the great factors towards
its success. Captain E. C. Kelly, who
was commander before Captain Long
took charge, being called into the Na
tional army a little over two weeks
ago. had left good EiterlaL In a
bunch of men who were for their
company and officers, and with this
and a good knowledge of their work,
the men went in with their officers to
do their best.
Order of Companies
At the conclusion of the drill, the
order of companies with captains
were:

The chief trouble with the Ger
mans Is their government. It lias the
appearance of allowing power to the
people, but this is only in appearance.
As a fact, the emperor has nearly ab
solute power. The ministers, or cab
inet, are responsible only to him, do
his will, and remain in office during
his pleasure. The Reichstag, or con
gress, is little more than a debating
society; it talks but does not do
things. If It refuses to vote taxes,
the taxes of the preceding years are
continued. Even the power to elect
the members of this weak Reichstag
Is not equally in the hands of all citi
zens. The great cities, the home of
the progressive working class, have
the same representation as was given
them in 187L and therefore have far
less voting-power relatively than coun
try districts, which are controlled by
the Junkers, tbe aristocrats and great
land-owners. Prussia, wnich domi
nates Germany, Is much less demo
cratic than the empire; the laboring
class is almost powerless. All this

Germany we shall help the real Ger

The other danger from Germany
lies In the belief of the Germana that
they are a superior peop'.e with a
civilization that must be forced on the
rest of the world. This arrogance
results from the position of the mili
tary nobility as a superior caste, and
from Germany's youth and lack of
political sense as a nation. Germany
is the youngest of the great nations,
only one-third as old as -the United

On this theory Dr. Strong goes oc
to show that science has only accom

Is that It most be the foundation of
true religious thought "We must
eliminate the material side of science
and do away rith dogma and supersti

them each an essential part of the
other."
