LAW STUDENTS IN WAR SERVICE
Commissions Given To Eleven at Fl.
RiIey-TwO Now at Sheridan.


More than 20 per cent of the stu
dents in the School of Law of the
University last year, who did not
finish their courses, are now in act
i've war service, according to Dean
Eldon r. James. OF the thirteen who
went to the first Officers Training
Camp at Fort Riley, eleven received
commissions and are now officers of
the national army. Two are now at
the second camp at Fort Sheridan,
two are members of the Missouri
Guard forces. one is in the marine
corps, one in the navy, another was
called in the draft and still another is
in the ambulance service in France.
THAT makes eighteen out of the
seventy-eight students whom we might
have expected to return to school this
year in active service" Dean James
said. 81 doubt if any other law school
of the country can show as good
record. OF course l am sorry not to
have these men continue their work
here but I am prouder of the fact that
the Law School of the University Of
Missouri is furnishing such a large
percentage of its men to the service of
their country"
OF the eleven who received COM
missions at Fort Riley, one, d. P.
James, was made a first lieutenant.
The others are second lieutenants as

Food Is Scarce in Sweden.

By Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 1.-THE spec
tacle, probably unique, Of a popular
and much frequented summer resort
and bathing town inviting its summer
guests to leave and not return has
just been presented by SodertaIje.
The city authorities took action after
a meeting at which the scarcity of
food was discussed. This, in their
opinion, made it undesirable that in
roads should be made by summer Wis
itors on the stocks available. About
5000 visitors are affected by the invi-

TOO MANY SWEDES EMIGRATE

from Going.
Correspondence of the Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 12.-More
earnest efforts are being made to pre-
vent emigration from Sweden as a
result of the publication of statistics
showing that in 1916 more than 1900
persons left this country, as compared
with fewer than 400 in 1915. About
81 per cent of those who go are be-
tween Is and 30 years of age, and vir-
tually all take passage for America.
Notwithstanding the increased emf
grafton last year, a great number of
Swedish-Americans, who returned to
Sweden, have been induced to remain
here, many having purchased farms,
while for others places of work have
been obtained through the instru-
mentality of the National Association
Opposed to Emigration.

said that during fifty years 1,173,OO0
Swedes emigrated, representing more
than one-fifth of the country's present
population. In single decade, from
1881 to 1890, inclusive, 376,401 persons
left the country, he said.
Doctor Molin described the associa-

in finding places of labor for returned

THE OPEN COLUMN
Tells of Boy Scouts on Long Island.

Tells of Boy Scouts on Long Island.
Editor the Missourian: Through the
Missourian 1 want to tell the Boy
Scouts of Columbia something of
what l have seen of their comrades
here on Long Island.
1t was my pleasure recently to at
tend the annual encampment of the
Boy Scouts of this (Nassau) County,
which is one Of the three New York
counties on "the island" as this terri
tory, made up of summer resorts, all
the-year-round homes of commuters
and millionaires and of truck gardens
and poultry farms-yes, and now of
army camps-is called. There were
probably 400 boys in the camp. The
meeting place was the Mineola fair
grounds. Only short distance away
is Camp Mills, where the Rainbow"
division of $4,000 men is stationed
Adjoining is the aviation camp.
On the afternoon that 1 visited the
Boy Scouts fine feature was the pa
rade, which was reviewed by many
prominent men. Then came an ad-
dress by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
Scoutmaster
1 wish that you boys and all other
boys in Boone County could have
heard what former President Roose-
welt had to say about Americanism,
and especially that fine Americanism
for which your organization stands.
For one thing. he said that there is
no place in this world for a neutral
when it comes to choosing between
right and wrong. He said that every
Boy Scout understands this and that
because he does he has in him the
making of good citizen.
Colonel Roosevelt also said many
other things that were characteristic
He declared that at such a time as
this, when the life of the nation is at
stake, the man who will not fight
provided he is really needed-should
not be allowed to vote "The privilege
of being an American" said Mr..
Roosevelt, "also carries with it the
responsibility of being an American"
The boys applauded the address
many times and seemed to agree with
most that the speaker said. At the
conclusion of the meeting / told
Colonel Roosevelt something of the
Columbia Boy Scouts, and he seemed
greatly pleased.
The Scouts here are very active and
are frequently called upon to help do
police work They also render fine
service in the everyday duties. For
instance, in one town they are gath
ering all surplus vegetables and turn
ing these over to charity. They have
also cultivated hundreds of gardens
and truck patches of their own, put
ting the receipts to worthy causes.
1 think that possibly the great war
activities that one sees here in the
East-the last stop this side of
Francis kindling still greater in
terest in the Boy Scout movement
But whether in peace or war, there
is work for the 25S.OOO Boy Scouts in
America, and. as Colonel Roosevelt
said, for millions more of such clean,
manly, patriotic young men"

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week of December 18th, the worlds
mightiest spectacle, D. W. Griffith's
"THE BIRTH OF A NATION."
This production cost millions of dollars,
employed thousands of people. Wonder
ful scenes of North and South, planta-
tions, armies, congressman and home
life.
This historical drama is in two acts
with romance intermingled with tragedy
and with beauty. The music is played
by symphony orchestra of thirty, and
stirring marches, inspiring dances and
patriotic melodies alternately thrill and
exalt the auditor.
One is astonished at the fidelity of the
costuming to the period represented and
the battle scenes are the most stipend
ous creations yet offered on the film.
There is nothing in the story or its rep
resentation without accuracy and the
loyalty and romance of both sides are
fairly depicted. The company, wonder
full one, includes the popular actors Hen
ry Wathall, Lillian Gish as the northern
beauty, and May Marsh, as the affec-
tionate little southern maid

Chamberlain's Tablets,

Chamberlain Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bilious
ness and constipation, and have met with
much success in the treatment of those
diseases. People who have suffered for
years with stomach trouble and have
been unable to obtain any permanent re-
lief, have been completely cured by the
use of these tablets. Chamberlain s
Tablets are also of great value of bilious
ness. Chronic constipation may be per-
manently cured by taking Chamberlain s
Tablets and observing the plain printed
directions with each bottle.
