SCREEN HERE AS ALL First of Series Sponsored by French Club Shown Dec. 14. "La Dame aux Camelias," a French talking film, will be pre sented Saturday, Dec. 14, at the Varsity theater at 10 o'clock as the first of a series of four pic tures to be brought here under the auspices of Le Cercle Francais of the university. The play has been produced in American movies and on the Eng lish stage under the title, "Camille." It is being sung in Omaha on Nov. 20 under the title "La Traviata" by the San Carlos Opera company. Yvonne Prlntempt Star. Yvonne rrintemps, who plays the leading role of Marguerite Gautier in the picture, will sing arias from the operatic version in the movie. "The piece has many stirringly dramatic moments," stated Miss Augusta Nelson, instructor in Ro mance Languages, "'and the por trayal by Yvonne Printemps is an experience in the theater that one can never forget." Miss Nelson emphasized the fact that since the language is literary and dramatic, it will be more easily understood by Ameri can students than a fast moving comedy in which the language is more colloquial. Play Published In 1852. The French play is by Alexandre Dumas Fila and was first published In 1852. It has enjoyed lasting success and has been played by all the greatest actresses of the world. The plot concerns the re generation of a courtesan by pure love. Marguerite, the heroine is a character drawn from real life, a person well known in the Paris of 1852. Her regeneration of character takes the form of a sacrifice of her love for the fu ture of her lover, Armand. Season tickets to the four movies, including "Prenez Carde a la Peinture," "Pecheur d'Island," and "La Maternelle." will be sold for 85 cents or 25 cents for each picture. , DATE OF ANNUA This is the first of a series of nations of the world.

The position taken by the Brit ish foreign office from the very beginning of the Italian invasion of Ethiopia is that the expedition is a violation of the covenant of the League of Nations and that Great Britain is bound by her obli gations to the league to oppose the Italian threat to international peace. Realists will not accept this theory of the British position. After all, Great Britain did not feel her obligations to assist the league to keep the peace when Japan Invaded Manchuria or when the war in the Chaco was being fought. And British Interests af fected by the Italian expedition are too well defined and too deeply involved for England to nose as nn outraged defender of international peace ana morality. Three Aspects for Britain.

OURY ANNOUNCES PARADE HONORING INSTRUCTORS VIEW EUROPE articles on the Italo-Ethiopian are being written by Instructors University Professors Note Effects on Several Great Powers. GERMANY By Dr. J, P. Senning. No ready answer can be sup plied to the question as to the attitude of Hitler in the present conflict between the League of Nations and the aggressive dic tator of Italy because it is impos sible to forecast what exigencies the existing tension will produce. Hitler Menace. The nazi program of Hitler is as serious a menace to the peace of Europe as is the aggression of Mussolini in Africa. Both are expansionists. While the ambi tions of these two Caesars are identical whether in the quest of colonies or in demanding a read justment of the boundaries estab lished by the Treaty of Versailles their interests nevertheless clash. Expansion of Germany into the Danubian region would undoubted ly jeopardize the interests of Italy in Tyrol, and the peace of Europe in general by destroying the ter ritorial arrangement upon which France staked her security at Ver sailles. France Backs League. The realization of Hitler's ambi tion are contingent more or less upon the success or failure of Mus solini in Africa. With this entan glement of community of interest of a common front to Hitler, it is not- surprising that France has consistently fought for a policy of conciliation of the league's dealing with the Italian-Ethiopian affairs. Will Europe march from crisis to catastrophy? Who knows! KOSMET KLUB FINAL E; Two Cuns for Winners on Display at Boyd's Jewelry Store.'

' situation and its bearing on other in the Political Science department UNITED STATES By Dr. David Fellman. What American interests are at stake in the Italo-Ethiopian war? Our immediate interest is to avoid complications which may arise should the League of Nations real ly attempt to enforce economic sanctions against Italy. Our long term interest is to prepare a pol icy which shall be adequate to our needs in the event that this East African dispute leads to a general European war. Given the tensions and antagonisms which exist in Europe today between the sated and the dissatisfied powers, a general war in the predictable fu ture is not an impossibility at all. Two Policies. The American people have a choice between two general poll cies. On the one hand, we may recognize that we are an integral part of a highly interdependent world, that any war is a matter of immediate concern to the whole world, and that we must there fore co-operate actively in the councils of the family of nations to preserve the peace.

' Civilization has come a long way from the time of Diogenes, who thought the air was the origin of all things to the present day when chemists and engineers have shown captains of indus try that the atmospheric air about us is the source of oxygen for industry today. n spite of the tremendous number of new dis- coveries in this field recently, the average layman knows little about the mysteries of the atmosphere about him. Few realize that argon, which is extracted from air, is used today for filling the bulbs of incandes cent electric lights, that neon, which so brilliantly illuminates the shop windows along every thor oughfare from the smallest ham let to the largest city, is also taken from atmospheric air and that one of the most efficient ex plosives on the market today is made from a product known as liquid air. Oxygen Cheap. Prof. William L. DeBaufre, chairman of the engineering me chanics department at the univer sity, predicts even greater com mercial use of air as soon as in dustrialists realize that oxygen can now be reliably produced in large quantities at a cost of less than $5 per ton as compared to the present price of more than $200 per ton for oxygen com pressed in cylinders.

Too Much for Scarlet to Patrick Goes Over in for Lone Score. OCity lord of the jungles more than a match for their low powered ar tillery, and were forced to retreat, clawed and bleeding, nursing the wounds of a bitter 6-0 defeat. Nebraska's Big Six champions left for Pittsburgh keyed almost to the breaking point for the battle with a Pittsburgh team that they realized would prove a thunderous, crowning test of their ability. They left with a feverish prayer that Providence would be kind, and that for once Pitt would find herself on the short end of a Nebraska score, that hadn't been quite large enough since 1921. All the Pitt victories in the history of that warfare were reflected in a valiant Husker determination that noth ing should come between them and victorious vengeance. Pitt Just Too Much. But Providence didn't make an appearance all afternoon, not even before the Panthers. And Nebras ka came back to the midwest with the torturous realization that altho she'd given everything she had, she simply wasn't in same class with Pittsburgh and that Doc Sutherland's team had again ful filled tradition by riding over a Nebraska opposition that just was not strong enough. It wouldn't be justifiable to say that Nebraska never had a chance. They did. Their first quarter play had Pitt guessing. But it would also be unjustifiable to say that, after the first half, they had a very lusty or substantial chance. After Pitt had crossed over for her lone touchdown early in the second quarter, and the Huskers had bat tled them shoulder to shoulder the rest of the period, Nebraska's side of the ledger waj little more than an occasional flash that was hailed as something of a miracle when il. did appear, and a defense that had all it could do to keep out of Pitt's way. They Couldn't Go. Nebraska's second half back field, Jerry and Sam and Chief and Cardy, simply wasn't'there when it came to ball carrying. Except for a last minute threat which ran out of fuel, sputtered and died just in sight of the promised land, the Husker quartet, which usually dis plays a high geared, full speed brand of pigskin lugging, was there in body, but not in results. Which isn't to say that there was nothing happening in the Nebraska back yard. Sam Francis was there all afternoon. And big. solemn Samuel was a powerful lot Satur day. Even tho be couldn't achieve any more success than the rest at punching holes in the Panther lint, he was the whole show for Nebras (Continued an Page 3.) Cornhusker' Fame Doe Not Stop With U. 5., Letter n Shvtc Fame and name of Nebraska's Cornhuskers extends not only across the land but across the sea, and "There is no Place Like Ne braska" rings out from all over the world. Two letters recently re ceived from former residents of the Husker state and printed in the Omaha World-Herald, show that the name is known in foreign lands. One writer tells of a Nebraska rally on the Neckar river in Hei delberg at a dinner party given by Ingeborg Oesterlin, exchange stu dent here last year. Progress of the football team is watched an J Heidelberg residents even suggest the introduction of university matches there. And then from Africa comes a letter saying that the Husker ex tend even to the "dark continent." The writer says, "On the boat from Southampton to Cape Town I mt a native of the latter place. H had read of the Cornhuskers in South African papers and asked me lots of questions about our track athletes and about the gam of football, as we play it Just last night I met a native (white) dentist who had studied at Michigan and then returned to Durham.
