CEDED STATES MUST
 FIRST GIVE CONSENT
Parisian Papers See Chance for Ger man .s.e5al Experts to Find Loop .~
 .hoIe Under Present Plan.

Paris, July Il, (By Associated Press. Ratification of the peace treaty by the German national as sembly at Weimar may be held not to be sufficient, according to the Petit Parisien. The new German constitu- ton provides that in cases where ter ritory is ceded, the ratification of treaties by states which lose terri tory is necessary, in addition to ap- proval by the central government. Consequently, independent action. by Bavaria, for the Sarre basin, and Prussia, for territory restored to Po- land, may be required.
 It may be said, the newspaper says, that the new constitution had been only partially accepted when the treaty was ratified, but it adds;
 Tt is imperative to avoid giving German legal experts a preteXt for proclaiming the nullity of the treaty."

 Officially little was said for publt- cation but the sentiment among the representatives of European nations was apparently one of qualification that the prospects seemed better for improvement in the Mexican situation temporarily thrust in the background by tn eWar and the peace negotiations but not wholly lost sight of in Eu- rope nevertheless.

Franklin, who is well known here by
older men for his standing both IN
scholarship and athletics, has oeen
selected as Chief Justice in the ou-
preme Court at Honolulu for several
months during the time of leave Oh
absence of the chief justice. This IS
quite an honor, especially so in view
of the fact that Mr.. Franklin IS only
twenty-seven years old.
Mr.. Franklin has often said that II
he made a successful lawyer he would
be indebted to the Law Department OF
the. University which he considers as
good as any law school in the country.

AS some giant oak upon a distant hill,
Ger tops the gnarled and twisted
shrubs,
That round it's base do grow,
So does the soul of him that's gone
Make small the petty lives Of men,
Whose only thought is Self.
He loved this Land, wherein we live,
And Of himself he gave so free,
That no man knew how hard
The paths he oftimes trod.
When he was born, God broke the
That fashioned such heart.
Now, all that's left
Is just the sad, sweet memory
Of one heroic man
That battled for the Right.

GOODS FORM
LITERARY SOCIETY
PLAN EXTENSIVE WORK
Long Needed Organization Appears
At Kicks Hall-Co-Eds Make
Interesting Plans.

The Literary Society in Kicks Hail.
so much discussed last year, has be
come reality. The first regular
meeting was held recently in the par
lors of Kicks. The house was called
to order by the president, Miss kuth
Dear. The president appointed COM
mittee to select a name for the society,
and asked for suggestions as to the
time of meetings. These will be held
every two weeks, on Thursday even
ing.
The first feature Of the program
was a paper on the life Of Charles
Dickens, by Miss Glenen Simms, Miss
Simms well-chosen remarks Indicated
thoughtful preparation, and were
thoroughly enjoyed.
The second speaker was Miss Ethel
Newton, who read a sketch Of the lie
Of Sir Walter Scott. Miss Newton
gave a most interesting and helpful
discussion of this much-lcved writer
This was followed by q reading by
Miss Lydia Phillips, who rendered
very delightfully."- the well-known Ia
vorite, "Ou~ Hired Girl"
The final feature of the program
was talk by Mrs. Eastman, who
offered. in a most charming way,
some very practical suggestions Tor
consideration of the society. Among
these, Mrs. Eastman suggested a
study of the works Of several rising
poets, especially of one Mississippi
Inoet who has already won conslde~a-
bic fame, namely Perrin Holmes Low
rev. of Blue Mountain. Mrs. East
man also. appealed to any poetic
genius which might be lurking IN
Kicks Hall for a poem or song of
I"Ole Miss" which would last, as no
poem of the past has. The last OF
| these helpful suggestions concerned
campus government. Gone OF the
most valuable services the society
could render the University SAID
Mrs. Eastman, would be the replac-
ing of decaying trees by young ones
Tho society hopes to do some work
of this kind, under Mrs. Eastman
guidance. The meeting closed WIFI
this talk, and the members OF the
new organization feel that if they but
follow the suggestion offered the So
ciety will prove an overwhelming
, success. The officers of the society
are: Mrs. Ruth Dean, president

S|OEL|CHTs ON Athletic

Ole Miss kind of picked up last
week against L. S. u, didn't she :?
Outweighed bewteen thirty and forty
Pounds, the Red and Blue not only held
the Tigers scoreless for more than
three quarters of the game, but out
fought and outplayed them up to the
very last part of the final quarter.
And they did that with three first
string men-"Red" Ray, Lake, and
EN- Farmer-out of the game, and
with Feemster, tackle, gamely sticking
to his post with a couple of cracked
ribs. Not a bad showing at all, eh
And, by the way, we aren't the only
ones that Alabama has defeated,
either Howard College went down
before the thin y red line" last Sat-
urday to the tune of 4S to 0; and just
the week before, Howard had held hte
fast Sewanee eleven to the close score
of 1S. to 0. 1t seems to US that Ala
bama just naturally has the best team
in the south this year, and is going
to have a pretty easy time walking
through every team that has the nerve
to buck up against her; and those
doughty warriors who represented the
Red and Blue on October 18th last at
certain place known as Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, upheld the honor of Ole
Miss in a thoroughly worthy manner,
and deserve great deal of credit for
the gritty scrap they put up.
Lest we forget: On November 8th,
Ole Miss bucks the Maroon and White
line-in popular parlance, ties up with
the Cowpunchers, meets the Farmers,
plays A. & M. From what We can
gather, the Cowpunchers are building
up a powerful machine for that mo-
mentous occasion. Russell, last
years quarterback, Weissinger, full
back, Kelly, guard, Howell, guard,
Carpenter, tackle-those are some of
the huskies the Red and Blue gridiron
specialists will have to handle-yes,
handle is what we mean-on the 8th.
There is no doubt whatsoever that the
A. & M. machine is strong one If
victory should condescend to come and
perch on Coach Sullivan's shoulder on
that day, it will be hard earned. 1t
lis true that A. & M. barely defeated
Spring Hill by the close score of II
to 6 a couple of weeks ago; but the
game was played on a wet, muddy,
slippery field, and anyone who knows
the first principles of football knows
that game played on a wet field,
with a slippery ball, is so full of the
vagaries of chance that no team, how
ever good, has an opportunity to show
what stuff it is really made of.
On the 25th, the eleven journeys to
New Orleans to tie up with Tulane
doughty adversaries in very sooth.
Then on the 31st, we play Union Uni
versity on the campus in preparation
for the 9Th, when the annual gridiron
classic of Mississippi" comes off.
1t hasn't been determined yet where
the A. & M. game will be played; but
fellows, if it's played in Africa, Asia,
Australia, or Sullivan's Hollow, every
solid one of us ought to beg, borrow.
or steal the money to get there; and

MEMORIAL TABLET
TO BE PLACED

The Memorial Tablet bearing the
names of those University boys who
gave their lives in the world war will
soon be placed in an important place
on the campus. The tablet is in the
form of a bronze plate and is to be
mounted on a concrete base.
A slight delay has been caused by
having to add another name to the
plate and the inconvenience in getting
the proper kind of base.
The tablet will stand as memorial
to the twehty-one men who fell in
their country's cause and serve to re-
mind US in the days to come the part

things, we ought to "ride the blinds"
