GERNANY,S INDEMNITY

Germany, with population of &C.,
100000 and $4,000, 100000 of esti-
mated wealth. has already war debt
OF S35,OOO,O 100000 without taking into
consideration the indemnity she will
undoubtedly be called upon to pay
for the devastation of the countries
she has invaded.
The problem of paying the war debt
of the United States is looked upon
as a grave one and yet the burden
will be about three times as heavy on
the Germans as on the citizens of this
country. Setting the amount of the
indemnity that Germany shall pay.
therefore. does not depend entirely
upon what she ought to pay or what
we would like her to pay, but also
upon what she is able to pay.
That the United States recognizes
this fact and desires to make just
settlement of the question is shown
by the fact that a study of Germany's
financial situation has been under
taken by Government agencies.

ST. LOUIS KEEPS sTATE WET
For Second Time One City Prevents
Statewide Prohibition.

For a second time, the official tabu-
lation of returns of the recent cleo
tion show Missouri, outside of st. Lou
is. has voted for Statewide prohibi-
tion. and the proposal has been pre-
vented from carrying only by the St.
Louis vote. In this falls election the
vote for prohibition was larger pro-
portionately than it was in 1916, but
still the proposal failed by more than
75, 900 votes.
The total vote tabulated was 215,-
977 for prohibition and 291,272 against
it, These figures include the vote of
the entire State, with the exception
of Randolph and Linn counties. which
two years ago gave a combined ma
jority of 2.6O5 for prohibition. Not
considering these two counties, how
ever, the State outside of st. Louis
gave a majority of 1881 for prohibi-
ton. st. Louis gave a majority of S.
226 against it, thus defeating the pro-
posal by 1881 OF the votes cast on
the proposition 42.5 per cent were for
prohibition.
In 1916 only 42.3 per cent of the
votes cast on the amendment favored
it. The total vote for prohibition in
1916 was 294,2SS, and against it 49,
S26 a majority against prohibition of |
122,5SS. That year st. Louis gave a /,
majority against prohibition of 127.-
541; thus the amendment carried in |
the State outside of st. Louis by 5,0O3. /

NEW SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day this year takes
on a fuller meaning than any it has
had since the day of the first Thanks
giving, held by the Pilgrims in 1920.
Not an increased thankfulness for
what we have accumulated in a finan-
cial way, for our dollars have gone
unto war relief work, Red Cross or
Liberty Bonds. Not for our abun-
dant crops, though they were such,
for they have also gone to feed our
vast army or our hungering Allies.
Certainly not for a year of content
for it has been a time of great anX-
iety for all of us, but time in which
to appreciate all that is ours.
Let us measure our thankfulness
not by our worldly riches but by the
strengthened ties of friendship and
world peace. This is a time of re-
joicing over the home coming of ou.
victorious men and to be thankful that
it is our privilege to lend a helping
hand in the reconstruction of all
nations

THE NEW BOOKS
Camilla.


Camilla is the story of an American
girl, not a typical American girl, full
of vivacity and impulsiveness. but
rather characterized by a calmness
and reserve that caused some people
to consider her stupid. She was not
of a genial nature nor did she possess
tact but her beauty and her air of in
nOcence and helplessness won people
to her.
While still in her teens she was
swept off her feet in a whirlwind
courtship by a handsome millionaire
whom she had idolized for years. They
were married but he soon tired of
her and a divorce followed.
Camilla went to Europe to forget
and incidentally" fell in love with a
young Englishman who was as true
blue as her husband was not. Many
but awkward situations
came up as Camilla tried to adjust
herself to English habits and English
On the eve of her second marriage
she fed, perhaps from English preiu-
iice perhaps for other reasons. At
any rate Michael" the man in Ques-
ion, followed.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Keeping the Freshman Spirit.

Keeping the Freshman Spirit.
Editor the Missourian: This fall
term of work in the University has
presented perhaps more difficulties
and problems to executives, instruct
Ors and students than has any other
term before. Confronted by the fact
that the war had to be won and by
the additional delays and incOnven-
fences that the influenza epidemic has
caused. class work is now behind the
regular schedule.
While this condition of affairs had
been hard on everyone who has an ac-
tive interest in University work, it
has affected the freshmen and new
students most. 1t is in the first year
that freshmen get most of their i'm
pressions of college life that last
through their whole college careers
and in many cases determine whether
or not there shall be any further col
lege career. If first impressions
create a strong interest. students are
more likely to return than if they
find no interests here to draw them
back again.
The war and influenza together
have conspired to bring social and
student activities almost to a stand
still Older students realize that this
is an unusual year and take these
facts into account. But new stu
dents have come here with vivid ideas
of college spirit and college life and
are likely to be disappointed because
they have seen so few manifestations
of what they looked forward to.
When, as was true in many cases,
they found upon their return to class
work after the quarantine that they
had forgot what they had learned be-
fore and in addition would have to
take longer lessons to make up for
lost time, they lost heart and quite a
few have even gone home.
II freshmen can be made to realize

SICK-CALL ROAD Is NOT ROSY
Fake Illness Punished by Castor Oil
and Full Drill Duty.


"Quarters?"
''No. Duty"
Thus the S. A. T. c. men ask each
other when they return from seeing
the doctor
Each morning those who feel that
they are unable to drill-sick in some
manner-are marched at sick call at
7:15 o'clock to the medical headquar-
ters at the Pi Kappa Alpha House on
Hit street. The non-commissioned
officer in charge marches the detail
from the barracks to the medical Of
fees. where he turns in the sick book.
which contains a list Of the men who
are sick. In this book the doctor,
either Captain Harvey or Lieutenant
Adams, enters whether or not the ill
ness is in the line of duty and wheth-
er the person i'll is fit to drill
Frequently men resort to sick re-
port in order to escape drill, fatigue
duty, and getting up in time for rev.
ellie; but this is seldom repeated. The
doctors generally recognize such cas-
es and administer large doses of sick
ening medicine, such as castor oil.

LOCK UP YOUR LIBERTY BONDS
Patriotism and Wisdom Forbid Sale or
Exchange for Wildcat Stocks.

The wide distribution among mil
lions of American citizens of Liberty
Loan bonds makes our Liberty Loans,
according to Secretary McAdOO's ex-
pressed opinion, the sOundest of ma
tional financing. That these bonds be
kept widely distributed amongst the
American people is of great import
ance to the Nation and to the indi-
vidual holders of the bonds.
United States Government bonds in
the past have gone above par, as
high as s139 for a $1OO 4 per cent
bond. That Liberty bonds will go well
above par when peace comes is very
probable. Holding ones Liberty
Bonds, therefore, is wise as well as
patriotic.
Every holders of a Liberty Loan
bond should heed the caution to hold
to his or her bonds, because there
are going to be great efforts by
shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS people to
buy or secure at inadequate prices
these bonds from holders who are
not we'll informed as to stock and
bond values.
Worthless or near-worthless stock I
or stock of only speculative value
wildcat stocks" they are called-are 1
going to be offered for Liberty Bonds
Some will be urged not to sell or ex-
change their Liberty bonds, but to
buy the stock and give the Liberty
Bonds as security for the purchase
price. This is a camouf1aged attempt
to get Liberty bonds in exchange for
the stock of their companies.
If every holder of Liberty Bond
will consult bank before he disposes
Of it, the get-rich-quick concerns will
not prosper, but the individual bond
holders will, and the American people
rs a whole will be benefited.

 The American people will not stand for cumbersome and wasteful things. They desire the up-to-date, latest, time-saving devices. They have test ed and found wanting the old Swe- dish methods because, during the last fifty years, the same result has been Eound time and again, namely, that although people begin them, they give them up because they take too much time, too much vitality, that they are not pleasurable, that they do not take the place Of sports and games and, finally, that they become boresome Hence, when the country was called upon to produce immediately sound men, thirty per cent. were deficient. And then came the demand for some thing simple, something that would take so little time as not to make it a bore, something that men could do in ten minutes or less. And that is the reason for the Shorthand System of Set-up."
 This system of exercise is not in- tended or expected to take the place of golf, horseback riding and various othre sports and games, Rather they should be, as I have said, preparatory to such activities, From the stand point of scientific physical training some of these outdoor pastimes are not altogether ideal. I have seer golfers walk the hills and fields with | bent backs and the faltering step ot advancing age. Satisfactory setting up exercises would have given then 1 good posture and enabled them to gel much more benefit from the game. | may be said that golf, horse back rid ing and other outdoor pastimes, be.
