Concerns University Stu
dents and the War.

In the second annual King ex-
temporaneous speaking contest which
was held at the University of North
Dakota this. morning first honors and
/ the first prize of twenty dollars was
awarded to Thomas Amlie, and the
( second place with the prize of fifteen
dollars was given to Alexander Aas.
y general subject for the contest
which was posted this morning at z
o'clock was ."Students and the War
h mornings contest was one of
best efficiency tests aver held at
the university, demonstrating as it did
the ability Of six men to rise suddenly
to6sthe demands of an occasion re-
curing clear thinking, cool judgment,
n choice of language, force of ad-
g and allowing only four hours in
which to prepare. The way in which
the men responded, and the inspiring
addresses given were crcditable to the
university. $4,000.
The first speaker. the winner of first
place. Thomas Amlie. urged the stu
dents to go at once to war and not to
wait for the draft. He stated that
the time for men to wait is past and
that all must hurl themselves into the
fight now if the cause is to b. won.
He said that the question will be ask
OF every man who is living when
the war is over. Where were you?
and what did you do?"
The winner of tho second place,
Alexander Aas. based his speech on
the statement of President Wilson
that there is a place in this wal for
every one. and that every one may
serve. He commended that the student
must play an important part in estab-
fishing the world idea and in the es-
~tablishing of the safety of %nationali-
Ties. 1T is the students duty to think
clearly n to aid in molding public
opinion. The college student must
realize tina the vision of the great
world ideal depends to a degree at
least or the part he takes in this war.
The speeches were with but one en-
ceptlon very strong and remarkably
we'll prepared, in view of the short
ness of time devoted to their prcpara-
ton.
Fraser Urges Caution.
One of the speakers who made n
deep impression on his hearers was
Gjems Fraser. His speech was one
of the most logical, and most vital Of
was lacking in the fire that charac-
terized those whom the judges chose.
Mr.. Fraser put the proposition on a
sane basis. He stated that more
harm thar good may come from the
students rushing recklessly to enlist
ment instead of remaining at their
post of duty as the government has
asked them to do. until they are
called. I'VE may gain the respect of
the unthinking by so doing" said Mr..
Fraser. but if America and democ-
racy are to triumph we must be more
wise. and serve where the govern

Sings to Large Audience.
The presentation of THE Mikado.'
given last night at the auditorium by
members of the high school glee club
developed into another of the sue
cesses which crowd the chronicles of
the high schools dramatic work. The
acting was appreciated by the large
audience. and much favorable com
ment was heard.
Not a hitch marked the affair
which was the result of much and
careful work on the part of all thoce
who played and sang. The scenery
made by the pupils in the manual
training classes, was effective and
contributed much to the success of
the evening.
Special mention should be made of
the chorus work which was a feature
of the play.
Herman VOLTS baritone was lis
tened to with particular pleasure, and
the singing and acting by Ruth Nc
Nicol, Eva VanDeneyenne, Frank Lee
Meter, Henry Trepanier, Ruth Baugh-
man and Marion Merrill were all that
could be desired-and a little more.
Blanche Leigh who had been sup
cruising the preparations for the
play. deserves much praise for the
consistency and care which marked
the presentation.

be contributed to the funds Of the
