in 1914 every man of Franco wont
to war. Out o f thirty-eight million
people, more than nve million men
were mobilized in three weeks." said
Madam Hornard, as she gave a sketch
of France at the meeting held at 5
o'clock Tuesday at Woman's Hall.
Madam Bernard will remain in Lincoln
this week and her talks given under
the auspices of the Y. V. C. A. are of
particular interest to University girls.
In describing conditions at home,
die said: "The wives and sisters took
the places of the men who left for the
front. All the boys of eighteen years
of ape were taken last year. These will
not be demobilized and sent home un
til peace is fulfiilled and the league of
nations ratified by law.
"The league of nations is a spon
taneous outburst of the heart of man.
When France was attacked in 1S70 she
stood alone and lost Alsace-Lorraine.
In 1914 when German yagain started
into France, Belgium held them back
five days with hard fighting. Britain,
Italy, Rusia, also helped. In 1917
America entered the war. The French
never doubted but that the Americans
would come to their aid. It gave new
life to French soldiers.
"In November, 1918, the kaiser sued
for an armistice. It was meant to di
vide the allies, yet nevertheless it was
granted. This was the greatest event
in history. The armies of the allies
were all-victorious, they were all-powerful
and able to take revenge, yet
they did not do this. After the signing
of the armistice the Germans went
back to their families and homes un
touched while many of the French
were homeless and their families sepa
rated. Yet the French are proud of
(hat armistice."
Tells of "Les Marseillaise"
After giving a sketch of France,
Madam Bernard told how the song,
"Les Marseillaise," was originated. It
was written in 1760 by Rouget fie
Lisle, at his home in Strasburg. The
people were expecting the Austrians
any hour to come and drive them from
their homes. In twenty-four hours
Rouget de Lisle wrote the words and
his sister composed the music. "Les
Marseillaise" is in the very soul of
tvery Frenchman.
Margaret Perry sang "Les Marseill
aise" in English and Irene Barton gave
a violin solo. Madam Bernard w:H be
at. the Woman's Hall from 4 to 6
o'clock Wednesday to meet the univer
sity girls.

FOR WAR SAVINGS WORK
Professor M. T. England to Have
Charge of Federal Reserve
Bank Work.
Professor Minnie T. England, who
has ben designated as director of war
savings work for the Kansas City
Brank of the Federal Reserve Bank in
Nebraska University, announces that
no formal advices have been received
as yet from Washington, but as soon
as these come, she will organize her
committee and begin work as out
lined below.
Following are the proposed duties
of a leader of the thrift educational
movement in normal schools, colleges
and . universities.
1. Carry out the program suggest
ed by the W!ar Savings Organization
in so far as it is applicable to local
conditions in each institution. At
present these plans contemplate:
(a) Inducing instructors in eco
nomics and home economics to devote
some time in their courses to various
aspects of the thrift movement.
(b) Inducing instructors in Eng
lish composition to have their stu
dents write themes on thrift subjects.
In order to facilitate this work the
savings division is now preparing a
list of such subjects for future dis
tribution. Also, a selected bibliogra
phy on savings and thrift will shortly
be ready for distribution.
(c) Organizing War Savings Soci
eties among the faculty and students.
2. Arrange special occasions in
each institution for discussion of the
thrift movement.
(a) Short addresses at several
daily or weekly assemblies of stu
dents. (b) Occasions when student organ
izations, such as literary societies and
civic clubs, devote part or all of
their program to the thrift movement.
(c) Competent speakers from the
faculty or the town to address public
meetings in the evening at the normal
school, college or university.
3. Erch leader will be free to de
velop the movement in such other
ways as 6eem best to him. Addition
al suggestions will be made by the
Savings Organization from time to
time.
Now is not the time to put off the
support of the War Savings and Lib
erty Bond campaign, - which must
necessarily follow the war, because al
though hostilities in the open have
ceased, the work which won for us
the freedom of the world must yet be
paid for.

university girls at a hard times party

D.U. DEFEATS A.T.O.
IN THE SEMI-FINALS
Final Count on Game 14 to 1
Perry and Austin Smith
Star.
Delta Tau Delta and Delta Upsi-
lon Meet in Final Contest
Tonight.
The D. U.'s eliminated the A. T. O.'s
from the Inter-Fraternity Tournament
yesterday by a 14 to 1 score and will
battle the Delts tonight at six o'clock
for the championship. The winner of
the final contest will become the undis-
puted champion of the Greek basket
ball world for the coming year and
either the first or second place banner
will be proudly displayed in the houses
of Delta Upsilon and Delta Tau Delta.
The semi-finals yesterday proved an
easy victory for the D. U.'s. Their
splendid teamwork proved too much
for last year's champs, who seldom got
within shooting distance. On the otner
hand, Perry, and Austin Smith proved
about as easy to stop as the Marines
at Chateau Thierry. Time after time
thes tricky forwards slipped through
for a shot and their accuracy in locat
ing the basket steadily rolled the score
up into victory land.
Perry Starts Scoring
Perry started the scoring and his
lead was followed by Austin and Budd
Smith, and before the opening round
closed he had aded another, which
made the score 8 to 0. During this
grst period, four fouls were called on
Perry and the two Smiths, but Thomas
missed each Irt lluovr. "Buzz" Cer-
hart went in for, Ernest at the begin
ning of the second half. A foul on
Budd Smith gave "Tommie" the first
chance to score, but he missed his fifth
straight toss. Austin Smith and Perry
reaped swift revenge by hanging up
one apiece, but the referee caught Aus
tin traveling and Thomas dropped in
the one lone counter for the A. T. O.'s.
Jack Egan went in for Perry and shot
the last basket of the fray.

TICKET SALE BREAKS
RECORD FOR SPEED
Eleven Hundred Students Gobble
Up University Night Seats
Within an Hour.
More than eleven hundred tickets to
the University Night show at the Au
ditorium next Saturday were scooped
up in les than two hours by eager stu
dents yesterday. The supply of main
floor seats was completely exhausted
and most of the desirable ones in the
balcony were taken. The remainder
of the allotment has been placed on
sale at the College Book Store.
The seat sale for students, which
began at 11 o'clock, was put through
in record time, and by 12 o'clock every
good seat was gone. Members of the
faculty secured reservations before the
student sale commenced. Those which
were taken by telephone order will be
held at the College Book Store.
The management had made ample
provision for handling the mob of stu
dents which congregated in the Tem
ple lobby for the big rush.-- Reserved
seats were dealt in in lots of two only
except where .a number ' of students
combined in ordering "a block of seats.
The lines were kept moving, eliminat
ing the tedious wait usually attendant
upon the sale. -
The scramble for tickets yesterday
indicates that the seating capacity of
the Anditorium wiU be taxed when the
curtain, rolls up on the ninth annual
performance next Saturday night. And,
according to the predictions of the
committee, everyone will be doubly
repaid for his two bits admission, for
this year's production, they say, wll

NEBRASKA MA'! MAKES
LOOP THE LOOP RECORD
Lieutenant Charles Keyes, Ex-'19,
Eclipses Former Performances
in Sensational Flight.
Lieutenant Charles Keyes, ex-'19,
has made what is said to be the
world's record for the number of loop-the-loops
made in a single airplane
flight. Keyes left the university short
ly after the opening of the war and has
made an enviable flying record. A
Dayton (Ohio) paper gives the follow
ing account of his recent flight.
-What fellow flyers declare was a
record for the number of continuous
loop-the-loops made in an airplane, but
which will never be officially recog
nized because of the court having
been lost, was made by Lieutenant
Charles (Chick) Keyes during a 45
minute flight shortly before noon Mon
day when the machine was sent in the
direction of Moraine City from Mc
Cook field. The count was lost after
145 loops had been made. It is esti
mated that Lieutenant Keyes per
formed the stunt at least 35 more
times after the count was lost. The
world's record is said to be. 166.
"The flight was begun at 11:30 and
it was 1:15 o'clock when Lieutenant
Keyes landed back at McCook field.
He looped continuously .for three-quarters
of an hour,, coming out of the final
whirl while about over Moraine City.
The flight back to the field was made
direct.
"Lieutenant Keyes has been sta
tioned at McCook field since January
1 of this year. He spent two months
and a half at Wilbur Wright field last
summer, but was sent to an English
field for several months in the capacity
of instructor and tester, to which posi
tion he is now assigned. The Monday
flight was made as a part of a test
Lieutenant Keyes would not divulge
the name cf the ship in, which he made
the flight. His home is in Holhrook,
Neb. He is a graduate of the field at
Kantoul, 111.
"It was announced that "Lieutenant
Kfyes would again attempt to estab
lish a new record as soon as the
weather is favorable.
"The flight attracted no little atten
tion from spectators who were in the
streets as the hurtling ship passed
over the city. Groups were formed at
almost every street intersection gazing
at the airplane which seemed to have
gone mad in th air."

FIRST DAY'S DRIVE
SHOWS COMPETITION
Twenty Girls Compete for Prizes
Offered in Sales Cam
paign. Fate of Annual Hinges on Results
of Next Three Days'
Sales.
Thirty-hix girls fought against the
ihily blasts Tuesday in the Cornhusk-
er sales campaign. Twenty of these
who secured the largest number of
subscriptions will continue for the rest
of the four day drive and compete for
the prizes offerd by th managmnt.
The following solicitors in order of
their standing have earned the right
to sell "Victory Annuals' 'lor the rest
of the week:
Venia Buchta.

The contest this year has been close
and the competition keen. The mar
gin between the first and last is slight
and those Ia the lead now are. by no
means sure of their places. Practically
no difference at all exists between the
first five solicitors.
Weather Interfere!
The first day of the campaign was
fairly successful. The cold and gener
ally disagreeable weather did much to
prevent the girls from making record
sales. Many of the students added to
the general difficulty by promising
thir subscriptions to certain solocotirs
and in many cases without any inten
tion of buying annuals of anyone.
Most of the really live Nebraska
men and women, however, are anxious
to get their names on the list of sub
scribers and in the three days of the
sale that still remain a much larger
average of sales is expected. Those
who have promised particular people
their subscriptions may call at the stu
dent activities office and leave their
subscriptions in the name of these so
licitors and they will be given credit
for the sale. The girl who sells the
prcatest number of subscriptions will

SIGNED ARTICLE BY IVAN
BEEDE IH BOSTON POST
Ivan G. Beede, '18, editor-in-chief of
the Daily Nebraskan last year and
now a member of the editorial staff
of the Boston Post, has written the
following article, which apeared un
der his name in the Post.
Beede has been with the Boston
Post but two months and his signed
story on President Wilson comes as a
recognition of his newspaper ability.
By Ivan Beede
President Wilson comes home a
changed man.
Last December his hair was gray;
today it is white. Last December his
face was that of a cold intellectual
ist; today the old light of dominance
is gone out of his eyes and in its
place is the smiling gleam of a fighter
in perfect trim for battle. Formerly,
too, his countenance was furrowed by
studious cares. Today the furrows
are gone and a tranquil face reflects
instead the sober weight of the bur
dens he has had to bear.
Just before the President left
Washington for Europe I had frequent
occasions to observe twin. I retained
