GERMAN SUBMARINES MAY YET
STARNE BRITISH ISLES INTO
SUING FOR PEACE

london, Jan "a The Daily News
today gives prominence to an article
by it's naval correspondent. who calls
attention to the gravity of German
submarine activity. The writer says
he fears the real seriousness of the
German campaign against merchant
shipping is not realized by a major
ity of the British people. and adds:
"The daily record of ships sent to
the bottom has become so regular a
feature in the newspapers that no
particular notice is taken of it unless
some unusual atrocity attends the in
cident."
The correspondent recalls that when
Germany's submarine blockade began
in February 1915, the British admiralty
Issued weekly statements of losses.
but says that after period of thirty
five weeks this was discontinued. Dur
ing that period the weekly average
loss was FIVE vessels. but during the
past three months the rate of losses
has nearly trebled. The writer gives
statistics showing that during ninety
days 40 ships were sunk, of which 1877
were British. He contends that. al
though neutral boats sunk consider
ably Outnumbered the British, the loss
to Great Britain was only slightly
less than II they had been British
ships. because virtually In every case
the cargo was either British or destin-
ed for Great Britain.
Remarking that the submarine men

that the operation would he performed
The original plan was to have the
TRANSMISSION Saturday afternoon. and
Representative T. @. Upton of Luna
county had been selected as the spec

taken, but during the day Saturday this
plan was changed. and the operation

IL this connection an mt, 'ys.irg
fact was brought out in regard - The
operation. and that Is that for the
purpose of blood TRANSMISSION there ere
four distinct blood groups and tuot

this reason it was necessary to rciact

Plan for Better Movies.

| Editor the Missourian: For those
who advocate sane movement for
the betterment of movies in Colum-
bia, mainly in the showing of higher
grade pictures for children, there is
opportunity for cooperation between
Columbia and Chicago.
In the Illinois metropolis list of
selected films suitable for children's
programs in the motion picture the
aters has been compiled by the bet
ter films committee of the Illinois
Congress of Mothers and Parent
Teacher Associations. No film has
been placed on this list which has not
been seen by some one or more of
the women who form this committee
and carries with it their personal in
dorsement. The word Children" in
this case does not mean only the lit
tie ones under II years, but also the
adolescent of from IL to IS years.
Among the pictures which have
been approved are: "Rumpelstilskin."
robin Hood" Faithful Shep."
"Helen's Babies" doll House Mys-
terry" Little Life Guard" Pirates
Bold" Rivals" "Runaways." Little
Dicks First Case" Her Filmland
Here" His Majesty, the King"
Burglars Picnic" Reel Life" and
Jack and the Bean Stalk"
The plan of the better films COM
mittee is to send out a bulletin to all
the motion picture theater managers
who are interested in the work. This
Will tell them where they can obtain
the right kind of pictures and guide
them in planning their programs.
This first list is simply the founda-
ton step in a scheme which involves
4 regular weekly phamplet contain
ng the titles of additional films which

Columbia's better movies commit
ee should get in touch with the Chi /

gers are in favor of any common
ense plan to improve their shows,
nd cooperation with the workers in
thers cities would undoubtedly re-
ult in the betterment of the cinema

IT'S A MANS WAR
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

/
OBERAMNIERGAU, Bavaria, Dec
This is not Gods war; it is mans
war So long as there are armies
and so long as Nations prepare. there
will be war;
So spoke Anton Lang, "Christus" in
Oberammergau's world-famous pas
sion play today-on the saddest yule-
tide the little Bavarian village has
ever known. OF her 1900 population,
Oberammergau has given $50 to the
army, including Alfred Bierling, the
St John of the play. who is now an
artilleryman in the German army.
Through the United Press, Lang
desired that greetings be sent to his
friends in America and that denial be
made that he had Joined a machine
gun company.
Il have never been to the 'front.'"
said this bearded man whose face most
nearly resembles the features of the
Savior. Il am still alive. Please tell
my many American friends that for
me-"
And then Lang showed his visitors
book. with the names of thousands of
his friends signed therein. One sig
nature was that of the King of Rou-
mania.
Fifty of our people have fallen"
Lang continued sadly. "How shall it
end? | see no end. see another
spring of fighting. bloodier than ever.
And if neither side is defeated-then
more fighting, with millions being
killed and millions of other working
so other millions shall be killed. with
some of those millions becoming rich
in the war.
Il recall Christ's words, who takes
the sword shall perish by the sword
That doesn't mean Europe shall perish |
by the sword, but interpret the |
phrase to mean that he who starts
war shall perish.
Il would be glad if there were no
in any land. Shall poison
always be used to destroy poison?
Isn't there another method? Can not
all militarism be destroyed by inter-
national agreements? Can not Ameri-
ca take the first step?'
Lang was told how some of Rouma-
mas soldiers said they did not be-
lieve in God anymore, because God
wouldn't permit such murder as the
great war has brought about.
Lang replied slowly:
Yes, know. l receive similar let

ROCHEPORT

The exhibit of paintings of the Mis-
souri, River bluffs near Rocheport by
Prof. ]. S. Ankeney is a reminder of
the unseen beauty that lies at our
door.
Many students will be graduated
from the University in February and
June yet few have seen the beauty
spot of Boone County. They will
leave Columbia without being able to
inform their questioning friends and
prospective students regarding the
natural scenery near the University.
One of the first questions asked by
the stranger is What kind of a coun-
try is it," How many students could
really answer the question satisfac-
torily?
Rocheport, snuggled between the
towering limestone bluffs overlooking
the river, is but twelve miles away,
at the end of a comparatively level,
well-cared-for road. The river at
this point has been caught for all to
see by Professor Ankeney's brush
The bluffs at Rocheport have been
represented in all their changing as
poets, and their beauty has been
simplified to be better appreciated.
1t is long walk to Rocheport for |
those who doubt the sight which |
awaits them at the end of the jour-
ney. A few moments spent in the fac
ulty room in the Library Building,
where Professor Ankeney's paintings
are hung. will convince the unbe-
lever of the wonders which lie with
in walking distance of Columbia.

ters from the front. But / reply, this
is not Gods war; it is mans war. No
where in the Bible are nations told to
murder-on the contrary the Bible
says thou shalt not kill But l know
the feeling is growing among soldiers
and | fear the wars bad effect on re-
ligion.
Sometimes / think the war is a
necessary evil. The world seems to
learn by experience.
Il hope America is never threatened
by such war. AS long as there are
armies and as long as nations prepare,
there will be war. Until all unite and
agree to limit their armies and navies
to mere police forces, wars will con-
tinue. Fifty or sixty years after this
war ends there may be another.
THAT is the saddest thought today.
Why has England the largest navy?
Why has Germany the largest army?
Because of world trade.
How sad it is to see Christmas
and no end to war"
Lang was dressed in his Red Cross
uniform and had just returned. when
I interviewed him, from a cemetery
where he had buried an officer. The
face of the famous "Christus" was
placid-a picture of patience-but his
words revealed his own suffering.
