4 POSSIBILITY!

The German Democracy Bulletin.
issued by the American Friends of
German Democracy, is advocating
Prince Lichnowsky as the first presi-
dent of the German Republic, when
the dreams of the year 1S4S are real
lied, which they hope will be soon.
A German republic is not al i'm
possibility. Daily it grows more prob
able, but a different sort of republic
from the others of the age, for Ger
many is far from ready to be ruled
by a Harden or a Liebknecht. That
Lichnowsky is a prince seems to be
in his favor for this reason. The
New York Times says of him:
That he is a great man is doubt
full, and doubtful that he is even great
enough for the task that would con-
front him as the respOsible represen-
tative of a German democracy of
either republican or mOnarchial form.
He is at least a gentleman" in the
best sense of that much-abused word
"a man who speaks the truth. real

esty has its uses. even in the conduct

THE OPEN COLUMN
When Do They Study.

Editor the MissOurian.-IWhen the
plan of the Students Army Training
Corps was first made public it was
readily accepted with the thought
that the members of the organization
could easily carry on their school
work. However. in the last three
days. with S. A T. c. members only

them prepared to continue their work.

this is what ! have been told: The
only time for study is from 7:30 TO
$50 O'Clock each night. The study
hall head. who is frequently student,
approves and sometimes requires that
the student spend more time on his
Il. d. r." than on his lessons. This
plan is approved by saying There
is no use of studying. you won't be
here long enough to get any credit
anyway"
Is this so? Will not the students
be allowed to prepare their lessons in
a f1ve-hour academic course as well
as for military classes? If not. what
use is there in having them buy text
books and materials?

THE ONLY APPEAL IN A YEAR

The United War Work campaign is
not "one more campaign" but six less
campaigns.
Instead of being an additional bur
den on the public, the plan is making
it unnecessary to conduct seven indie
pendent campaigns for the seven de-
serving organizations which are in
cluded.
Each of these seven has been Civ
en- governmental approval. The budg-
ct of each has been scrutinized and
pared by the War Department. There
is no duplication in their work.
1t is essential to the conduct of the
war that each should be given the
support it needs. Anything less would
be unfair 10 the soldiers We have
taken from their homes and sent to
camps and overseas.
And since it is necessary for the
American nation to meet these sever
budgets. it certainly becomes easier
to do it all at once than to have sew
en- different organizations appealing
for funds
Remember-when you give to this
campaign you are insuring yourself
against another request for funds for
any of these organizations in a year.

task of silencing the machinegun was
given to Chief Ross and a picked

seconds later a well-placed grenade
burst in the room with the Germans,

The trigger on the California nest
consists Of a hook which engages the
lover edge of tho door. When the
he' enters and pushes against the door
with her back it tends to lift the
door. whica action causes the hook TO
fall. following which the door is re-
leased and closed. The door is hinged
by means OF Screw-eyes and wire
rod as shown In this type of nest
II is not necessary to provide a lock-
ing device from within. because it
is virtually impossible for another hen
to push the door opcn once il has
closed.
For sanitary purposes. for ventiIa-
ton and for lightness OF construction
the floor Of the California nest is made
OF small mesh netting, similar to that
used for the door screen. Under Ger

can be left omen. for instance. if the

II consists mainly OF two movable
parts. the trigger and the door both of

and easy TO hit on any box or nest of
suitable size. The door is eight and
one half inches high. eleven and one
half inches wide at the top and eleven
inches wide at the bottom. Being
narrower at the bottom. there is no
tendency to bind against the sides OF
the nest as the doors are bound with
