erected along the Old Trails road

Doctor Cole. with the two other
members of the committee, E. Sidney

there.
Several members of the Commercial
Club yesterday offered to contribute
to the fund. Doctor Cole believes
that the money will be raised quickly.

fair to say that before the average
freshman left high school, he did no,
know whether taking military train
ing in the University would be 4
pleasure or dissatisfaction. Then.
whence comes the aversion to "war -
The beginning Of this aversion
arises from the upperclassmen. Visit

ally the seniors al. juniors who give

thing happens when this freshman be-

Certainly this is wrong. Some of the
very best training the new students
get at the University is In military. 4
lot might be said in favor of it in this

The Open Column
Advertise Fairly.


Editor the Missourtan: The Univer-
sity bulletin boards are used for ad.
vertising articles and services that
are said to be Of use to students.
Some folks think it their duty to
tear of signs that, to them, are Often
sive. Some, ambitious to have their
messages foremost, inconsiderateIy
cover up other ads with their posters.
even some of the church organizations
have put signs over other posters,
when there was plenty of green space
unused on the bulletin boards.
1t probably is to the advantage OF
all advertisers to consider the rights
of priority of others. 1t is better
ad in the long run to let the public
know that the square thing is done in
each case.
If an ad is out of date, according to
its own statement, then 1t should be
removed. Otherwise let 1t stand un-
covered. Advertising seldom does
harm, as found on the University bull
letin boards. and often performs a
service to students.
If you have an ad to post, see that
it gets in its proper place, not to the
detriment of other ads. v.

sYNGE AND MAETERLINCK

After reading the war news for
months and months, it is a relief to
dig out from under the piles of papers
in your library such works as "The
Riders to the Sea- and THE Intrud-
er." At time when the war has ap-
parently knocked senseless the au-
thors of Europe, it is encouraging to
turn 10 the literature which is in abey-
ance.
These two plays come from different
hands. They even come from different
countries. Yet they are much alike
in spirit and method. Perhaps in
none of his plays does the Irish realist,
John Millington Synge. show marked
similarity to the French Belgian mys-
tic, Maurice Maeterlinck, as in his
one-act drama, THE riders to the
Sea-" Particularly close is the re-
semblance when "The Riders to the
Sea- is compared with Maeterlinck's
one-act dramas. The Intruder" and
Interior" All three of the plays deal
with death,-death handled with
mastery mixture of realism and SYM
bolism. The tendency of Maeterlinck,
however. is toward symbolism, while
Synge tends toward realism. Maeter-
linck's symbolism is magnified by the
simplicity of his language; Synge's
realism is intensified by the freshness
of the Gaelic dialect.
Structurally, too. the plays show
striking similarities. All three show
the effect OF the arrival of the news Of
the death of loved ones They show
how death mysterious.y casts its
shadow before. aThe Intruder" and

The Knock on 3War..

Editor the Missourian: One is
sometimes led to believe that all the
talk in the press just now about the
gross unpreparedness Of the United
States as q war nation never is seri-
ously considered by the average COL
lege student. We are told that over
in Europe the big colleges and univer-
stiles are being stripped Of enrolment
In order to provide for the army. and
along with this report 1t is said that
these men are making some of the
best fighters. 1t seems that the war
ring nations are looking to this type
of soldier for brains and endurance
to carry on the struggle.
This leads US to the college man o.
the United States. What is he doing
to strengthen his country as a war
power In case war should occur?
knowing that this country would first
look to the college man. what serious
ness Of thought is he giving to the
wall going throughout the country Jus.
now for military preparedness? II
You are interested in knowing this,
you have only to take as an example
the students in the University of Mis-
souri,.
At every enrolment period in Sep
tember here a wall goes up among
the students. especially the freshme .,
about the requirements Of the militarr
school. Instead Of these students con-
sidering how they might take military
training and get the most good out
Of 1t. they devise schemes for getting
out Of "war." Now whose fault is
this. Certainly the freshmen cannot
be held to blame altogether. It Is only

BAsEBALL-AND THE FAN

Baseball fans all over the United
States-and there are thousands and
thousands of them-impatiently
awaited the husky "Play Bali" of the
umpire today which launched the first
game of the series to decide the
worlds baseball championship:
For today the Boston Americans
and the Philadelphia Nationals start
ed the clash that will decide the SUI
premacy of one or the other The Sc
ries will command the attention of
red-blooied Americans In all parts OF
the country And it is well. Baseball.
the national pastime, has this year
been more thrilling than ordinarily.
With a third league in the field, the
fans have reaped the benefit of 10
cent baseball, of high-priced stars
and of the general competition among
wealthy magnates who bid for the
patronage of the man in the street.
And that man has cheerily paid his
little mite to see his favorite team
struggle for the pennant. Now he Is
ready to see two of the greatest ball
clubs ever assembled fight it out for
the glory and money that go with a
worlds championship. But the fan
doesn't envy the ball tossers, who will
get as much from the series as the fan
himself may make in year.
The fan is wondering whether Gro
yer Cleveland Alexander, the worlds
greatest pitcher, can, with the assist
ance of eight teammates, down the
Boston Red Sox, who, on paper, are
the favorites. Or whether the Red
Sox, calculated to have the best hi.-
ters, will not land on even the best
directed curves of Mr.. Alexander
This gentleman says he will pitch
three games of the series If necessary.
That adds another item of interest.
Talk about your college athlete
trained down to the minute and the
iron nerve he exhibits! Can you du-
plicate the performance of Alexander. |
if he should pitch and win three games
of the worlds series?
Is there anything that can compare
with baseball to make the blood surge |
and tingle in ones veins? The man
in the street-just one of the thou
sands of dyed-in-the-wool fans-w'll |
most loudly answer "No!"

NEW YORK. January 27.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet during
today's early trading. Gables were a
shade under expectations. and after
opening to points lower, the local
market sold 8 or 3 points under last
nights closing figures, as a result OF
liquidation and local pressure There
seemed to be very little southern sell
ing here. however. while private ca bles
reported very little hedging in Liver
pool, and in the absence Of such offer
ings, the market soon developed a
steadier tone, with prices working
back to within or 5 points OF yester-
