HARDING DECLINES
TO CALL LEGISLATURE

Des Moines. June 2e.--Members of
the state council Of defense asked Gov.
Harding to call a special session Of the
legislature to give the council authority
and funds to prosecute its work.
Gov. Harding was not in the city but
was at Red Oak. When called by long
distance telephone and asked about a
special session Of the legislature the
governor said:
There will be no extra session Of
the legislature at this time. There is no
emergency that renders special SEES
sion necessary. Iowa has done and Is
doing all she can as her part in the
prosecution Of this war.
The administration Is willing and
anxious to do everything necessary to
further this plan but there is no ne
cessity to spend 100000 or $l50,e00 at
this time for a special session. Iowa $
part can be carefully and efficiently
planned by the state council! of defense
and ably carried out through the regu-
lar channels of state government

.DIPL OMACY
TOEND WAR
POLITICAL ECONOMIST FROM
GRINNELL PAINTS DARK
SKETCH OF FUTURE.

Ames, June 27.-The war ended by
diplomacy rather than conquest, Bel
GUM restored, France evacuated, Po-
land made Independent, England losing
part Of her prestige, America retain
ing her position as world power, a
repartitioning of Africa and possibly
South America and Russia made the
goat by being reduced to second rate
power-such is the prediction of the
war outcome by Professor William l..
Bailey, political economist of Grinnell
college, who in a striking address,
gave his views of the war, the I'M
biased views of a political scientist,
before the rural life conference at
Iowa State college. Although English
born and pro-ally, Professor Bailey be.
lieves the war is at deadlock, that
Germany cannot be completely driven
from her holdings, not yet starved out.
Bulgaria Coming Up.
I'M Bulgaria Mr.. Bailey sees. rising
power that will assume great strength
in the east Germany, he believes,
will come out of the war better of
than when she undertook It..
Eve entered the war at exactly the
right llIuc W Uc ldLcI COuHlcu do a
world power" he says, land to supply
the Juice for the entente offensive.
But we have a gigantic task before us.
We must not misunderstood the Ger
mans, but as nation we must scienti-
fcally hate them to attain results. Be-
cause Of our unpreparedness no coun-
try will suffer more or have to live
more strenuous life the next few
years than America"
Japan Not Interested.
Japan has no interest in the war Is
Mr.. Bailey's belief. She is too busy
gorging herself on China Possibly
later she will turn toward the Philip
pines and unless the unforeseen hap
pens, she will probably acquire them.

IOWA'S COLLEGES
TO HAVE GAMES

Des Moines, June 26.-Iowa colleges
generally have responded favorably to
the plea Of President Wilson that col
lese athletics be continued next fall and
winter. Grinnell college, the first to an
nounce it's purpose to continue sports
next season has virtually completed Its
football and basketball schedules.
1t is realized that many stars OF
sridiron and other fields Of athletic en-
deavor may be taken into the new ma.
tional army, in addition to those al
ready in service, but 1t is hoped that
this drain will be about equal in every
college
