ASKS PRAYERS FOR JAPAN.
Rector of Grace Methodist Church at Des
Moines Says Russia Is Greedy
.- Monster.

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 23.-Rev. Dl.
Guild, pastor of Grace M. E. church,
urged his congregation to pray for the
success of Japan. Men talk of Eng
lish greed" he said. ct is kind char
ity compared with Russia's devouring
career. Over 100 nations and peoples
have been conquered-harpooned by
the imperial eagles claws and dropped
into the bubbling caldron which blends
the whole into a feast for despotisnl.
Out of sheer necessity little Japan has
grappled with this monster and the
anglo-SaXon should offer encourage
ment. 1t becomes Christians whether
In America or elsewhere to pray to the
God of nations, to the God of battles,
to save the earth from such despot-
ism"

New Aua,torium a. Necessity.


When Fraser hall at the University
of Kansas was erected in 1872 an audi
forum "a by Sc feet@was placed N the
building. For many years this audi
once room was found sufficient to &C
commodate the students at the regular
chapel services and the friends and
relatives OF graduates at commence
ment time. The chapel has seating
capacity Of 1900. The graduating
classes from the university each year
now number over 200, and because Of
the very large number of friends OF
the graduates who wishto attend COM
mencement exercises the university
authorities have found it necessary
to issue reserved seat tickets for adj
mission, limiting the number to LOO.
This necessitates the turning away or
hundreds of friends of education at
each commencement time. The seat
ing capacity is found to be entirely too
limited for many other convocation
meetings. The student body alone
numbers 1,400. One of the finest and
largest pipe organs in the southwest
has place in the chapel and very
much limits the seating capacity Of the
rostrum. The university faculty of 10E
members occupy seats on the platform
at the general exercises. With the
promised increase in student attend
ance and of the faculty a new audito-
rum Is necessity at very early date.
