Schellenberg and Captain Hubka of the home gang grabbed the laurels fir individual playing. Circling the end' and smashing the line, they were al ways good for gains of from four to twenty yards. Schellenberg crossed the Railoonists goal line in the sec ond quarter for the second touchdown df the game on a center plunge of one yard after a fourteen yard run through the opponents' entire defense. Captain Hubka's tee accounted for all the Cornhuskers' punts which spireled down the field for forty' and f.fty yards. His l:ne plunges ri end runs were decided factors In the vic tory. A twenty-six yard sprint from a fake punt formation in the first Quarter brought the ball to the twelve yard line and within striking distanc of the goal. A second later, after Schellenberg and Hovrarth advance 1 to the one yard line, Howarth went over the center and planned the ball back of the line for the first touchdown of the game. In the last five minutes of play Hubka reeled off another sprint of 10 yards. Howarth Scoret The three touchdowns camo 1- the frst, second and fourth quart' .. The in tial ralley coming thirteen minutes after the kick off, when Howarth went over. The second came in the ten minutes at the start of the second in king, when Schellenberg pushed the oval over in a mass formation after bringing It fourteen yards to the one yard line. The last touchdown was the most spectacular of the whole fray. It started about the beginning of the fourth quarter. From the middle M the field, Schellenberg skipped goal ward eighteen yrds. Lantz added five more and then a perfect paes from Howarth to Neumann gained 20 W. C. C.

General Pershing sr.td that lie wanted ail h;s men Imbued with military courtesy and dis cipline; otherwise, they wov.l I be useless in this war. Such discipline means subconscious obedience at all times, and at all places." Capt. E. J. Maclvor. "I will not delay one minute in re placing The ban which will comiue the men to the post with an intensive training schedule much more rigid than the men have yet known, should there be any repetition of the disor derly conduct of Friday evening," said Captain E. J. Maclvor, when In terviewed Saturday. The commanding -oiTioer made a personal inspection of all bnrraks. ok the city campus Friday evening, find ing conditions in some places de plorable. In the Social Science bar racks and in one room in Nebraska hall barrack lights were left burning after taps, and men continued to read, smoke and talk, in direct contradiction to all army precedent.- Again on Fri day morning when the commanding officer was present at reveille forma tion, the men showed an absoiute dis regard of soldierly codnuct. Disciplinary Orders Issued Disciplinary orders were issued Fri day night' which were very strict in their interpretation. All men quarter ed in the Social Science building and those men in the Nebraska hall, who had violated the regulations, were un der orders to be confined to the post for a period of two weeks. No passes were to be issued to these men; they were to be allowed none of the liber ties given other army men with ref erence to leave of absence, and fur ther, none of them were to be allowed to apply for officers' training camps for the next three quotas selectee These orders had a profound impres sion on all members of the unit and as a result each man felt the personal regret for his misconduct. Saturday morning, the men coming under the ban faced their punishment with a firm resolve to oo or aie. All were not responsible for the mis (Continued on page 2) MIL'TARY ANNOUNCE MENT Captain E. J. Maclvor an nounced Saturday that all men who registered prior to Septem ber 12, and who were placed !a class one, being physically fit for general military service, were now eligible for individual induction into the service for the purpose of attenGlng the Central Officers' Training School at Camp Fremont California.

So says Jules Cambon, former French ambassador at Washington and one of the most prominent liven in Hance today. " St. Quenlin, Lens, Cambrai. Donai, are burned, mined, mined. These represent the richest terrivy ol Frame, where the largest French in dustrial establishment are located All these centers have a glorious past. They are filled with splendid moim mon;s and museums and libraries of r-ri'fiess tieapiires. In Cambrai stands the tomb of the illustrious Fenelon. The conduct of the German armies is an outrage to civilization and hu manity." FOE RUINS COAL MINES TO HURT FRENCH TRADE The coal pit's at Lens, France, suf fered enormous damage at the hands of the Germans when they were fore ed to retreat last week. Approacher to pitheads have been rendered im passible by the creation of enormous craters. All the working plant, wind ing gear, and ventilating appliances have been destroyed and the mine gal Ivries flooded. Manv galleries alsc w ere blown up with high explosives at the last moment before the Germans bolted. Lens itself is in "the most frightfu' slate of devastation. It was burned and pillaged first by the Germans last year when the British succeeded in taking the suburb of Lievin. Before they were driven out in the present operations, the Germans carried on new destruction on a very large scale Apparently their intention was to make even the very ruins disappear, as at Noyon, Bapaume, and other places. Mines were exploded in the middle of many streets and at cross ings, leaving enormous craters. The German object here has been evidently to cripple the French, coal industry for the benefit of the German trade. At Armentieres the same poli cy has been pursued. Armentieres w as the headquarters of French table linen manufacturing with a turnover amounting to 120,000.000 a year. By destroying the linen factories at Arm entieres the Germans evidently hope to get the French trade in these goods a peace conference and to secure an armistice, German submarines have renewed their attacks on passenger ships carrying women and children and have been responsible for the loss of over 800 lives on torpedoed ships. Nearly 150 women and children were drowned when a submarine suck the rassenger ship LInser, on (Continued on page 4) The fad- for knitting at the theatre and in church seems to have passed, but the soldiers still need socks. E IN FLYING SIT University to Raie Quota of $25,000 in Ten Day Campaign Seven Organisations United in War Work Need 250 Mill ions by April The "eero hour" today finds four thousand loyal students and faculty members of the University ot Ne braska tugging at the leashes, ready to go bounding "over the top" In th? first great drive of the Unltod War Work Campaign. Twenty-five thous and dollars Is the goal to be reached by the University of Nebraska, which Is one-half of the total quota of all Nebraska colleges. Professor A. A. Reed, who la in charge of the campaign at the univer sity, has perfected an organization of student helpers to assist in the big drive beginning today. An executive committee of one hundred girls, of which Kathcrine Kole is chairmasj, will supervise the solicting of rubscrlp tions among all students outride the S. A. T. C. Eleven teams, each un der the direction of a leader, will thor oughly canvass the student body, bto college, school, department or, org" ization wiU pass inspection until its members, by individual subscription, have made it one hundred per cent. Meanwhile the student sold.ers of the S. A. T. C are completing the preparations for a smashing drive which will push their detachment "over the top" in a manner to aston ish the rest of Hie campus. At a meet ing held at the Temple Friday night plans for the drive were partially com pleted and an unusual spirit of en thusiasm is already manifest among the men af the barracks. With the added eest of compa vy rivalry, the suc cess of the campaign is expected to be even more phenomenal than that of the Liberty Loan drive several weeks ago. Backed by Wilson and PersVng Seven organizations, six of them active in the European battle zone, are included in the United War Work activities. They have been author ized and encouraged by President Wilson and General Pershing. In the field, the Y. M. C. A, Y. W. C. A.. Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army and Americas Library association conduct army canteens and nanaie supplies wnicn ate given special transportation by the government. This work has been standardized by General Pershing; all service in battle zones is tree, and behind the lines there is a standard price for all canteen supplies. At home the war work is conducted by the War Camp Community Ser vice in co-operarion with the people at home. A branch of this service has recently been established in Lin coln and is doing a wonderful work for the boys of the S. A. T. C. 259 Millions to Be Raised For the maintenance of tbese seven agencies, a national goal of 250 mill ion dollars has been set This in cludes a fifty per cent increase over the original amount asked for but it was deemed imperative because of the more extensive preparations for war which have been carried on. With a prospect of the wkt clos ing there "is an even more essential need for funds to carry on tbi work. An Idle army in Europe will demaal more recreation which can be furnish ed only under the direction of the war work activities. The con;pe"'-ng need for reconstruction will a'so make a place tor the flow of contribu- i fions. GREAT 3 V
