AN ENTIRELY NEW INSPIRATION

"A book of verse, loaf of bread,
glass of buttermilk and thou singing
beside me in the wilderness were par
adise anow."
Now there is something decidedly
wrong about that Still one is only
doing what the government has asked
us to do-substitute buttermilk for
wine All, but they have given US
such an unpoetic national drink. One
might as we'll try to write an ode to
cottage cheese as to write sparkling
verse about buttermilk. The very
sound of the word is thick, and the
associations are afternoon maps, and
quiet country places. Lets try again.
Buttermilk, toast to thee,
Given all unasked to me-
In the cool shade by the kitchen door,
l fondly raise my glass for more!
There, that fits better than with
shade and kitchen doors than with
wilderness and song. Well, let's go on.
If my Puritan father now could see,
He'd cry aloud in righteous glee!

poetry If our national drink is to serve

MuNION Is STRENGTH

The SAcond Baptist and the st.
Johns Methodist Church in st. Louis
have merged for July and August to
permit the pastors of both churches
to have their summer vacations with
out lessening interets of their congre-
cations. In July both congregations
are worshipping at St. Johns, and in
August st. Johns will be closed and
the congregations will go to the Sec
ond Baptist Church.
If it is possible for these two
churches to join hands why cannot
other churches do the same? This is
a good plan not only for the summer
but also for the winter and for every
other season of the year. The vast
amount of expenses due to the dup
lication of buildings and efforts is
crippling the effectiveness of Chris
tianity in the world.
A good beginning toward united
Christianity can be made by each de-
nomination becoming member OF
the league of churches now being ad-
vocated for all Christendom.

THE OPEN COLUMN
Now for Cabbages.

Editor the Missourian: Now that
all the short-haired women and the
long-haired men have given the
knockout blow to ]. Barleycorn and
got the roll your own" weed on the
hop. let's keep up the good work and
abolish cabbage.
Cabbage, you know, contains arsen-
ic. Doctors tell us so. Arsenic is
poisonous and injurious to the human
system. If people used cabbage in
large doses it would be highly dele
terious. What if they should grow
fond of it?
Beer was drunk as beverage. Beer
contained alcohol. Beer had to go
because people were drinking alcohol,
thing extremely hard on the liver.
People are smoking tobocco. To-
bacco contains nicotine; therefore
people are nicotine smokers. This
is the conclusion of the reformer, as
he glares at the billboard signs from
behind his rubber-tired glasses.
Let's be consistent, folks. Doctors
tell us that lettuce contains opium
and that cabbage contains arsenic.
The only possible conclusion is that
lettuce and cabbage eaters are opium
and arsenic fiends. Temptation should
be taken out of their way. Let not
even our worst enemy die the ignoble
and plebian death of boiled cabbag-
eritis." Abolish the filthy weeds and
vegetables!
Don't make any grand rush with
the ak on lettuce; let it stay few
days longer. 1t helps solve the prob
lem of what to do with our vinegar
supply. Besides it has no offensive
odor like tobacco has. Tobacco makes
mems clothes smell bad. Women don't
like this, SO it has been decreed that
tobacco shall go the way of demon
| rum
But there is no excuse for boiled
| cabbage. 1t smells worse than does
tobacco. At least it smells further.
Much to his chagrin, every neighbor
in the block knows when Bill Smith
is going to have boiled cabbage for
| dinner.
Smith has been waiting to get a
swat at this aromatic plant for some
time. Grown vicious by the absence
of his beer and pipe, what is to pre-
vent him from doing few soap box
gymnastics against this harmful, poi
sonous smell that pervades the whole

A campaign to raise funds for the

lives in the struggle win be started
soon by the Alumni Association. The
tower as now planned will cost ap-

college in the country is conducting
a similar campaign. At several OF
the large universities the money al
ready has been raised for a memorial

Chairmen will be appointed in each
county of the state by the Alumni AS

bility of seeing that every former stu
dent of the University in that county
is given an opportunity to contribute
In the larger cities of Missouri and
in other states, special chairmen will
be appointed. Those Missouri Uni
versity alumni in foreign lands also
will be invited to contribute to the
fund for the erection of the Memorial
Tower. The campaign may extend
through the fall months.

a 3-story home is being erected in
New York City on top of a History
apartment house. The paper omits to
tell whether the reason for this

the owners expected to buy an air
plane or only to keep in harmony with
the high cost of living.

HOW JAPAN GOT sHANTUNG

As indemnity for the murder OF the
German ambassador in the Boxer up
risings, Germany obtained territorial
possession of Kiauchau. In 1898 she
procured economic control of the
Shantung Peninsula.
When the war broke out in 1914,
Japan captured Kiauchau from the
Germans, with the alleged intention
of returning it to China at the end OF
the war. Japan also took over the
economic rights Germany had in
Shantung.
'In February and March, 1917 it is
said, 'at the very time the United
States was inducing China to break
with Germany, the British, French,
Russian and Italian governments
without informing either the American
or Chinese governments, entered into
secret agreements with Japan by
which China's rights were traded off,
and by which the diplomatic assur-
ances given by our Government to
China were stultified."
It is charged that a private agree
ment, at a meeting of Balfour, Pichon
and Maxine in Paris last March, was
reached by which the British, French
and Japanese governments would sup
port each other at the Peace Confer
ence in all questions relating to Asia
and would jointly support Japan's
claims in Shantung.
When the time came for the peace
commissioners to adopt the League Of
Nations, the Japanese delegates refus-
ed to be party to the covenant unless
the Treaty gave the economic rights
of the Shantung Peninsula to Japan.
They held that since Shantung had
belonged to Germany, and Japan had
captured it, the peninsula should re-
main Japan's by right of conquest.
The American commissioners OBJ
jected to such settlement. But when
Japan threatened to withdraw from
the conference, President Wilson, in
opposition to Bliss, Lansing, White
and all the experts in the American
commission, acdeded to their desire
and agreed that Japan should have
Shantung.
The President claims that he secur-
ed a modification of the Japanes de-
mand in a separate agreement, which
was ratified by the British, French and
Italian premiers, by which Japan is to
surrender all territorial rights in
Shantung and withdraw japanese
troops, retaining the ownership and
operation rights of the railroads on
the peninsula, leaving it to the coun-
ell of the League of Nations to deter
mine how long that control of trans,
portation shall continue. This ar
rangement is not found in the Treaty
of Peace, however.
The President explained his action
to the Chinese delegation in Paris b!
saying that 'the threat of Japan tc
bolt the Conference and the private
intimation that the British govern
ment might in that event have to with
draw too, had forced him to assent tt
the Shantung decision to save thu
League of Nations, and that he woult
see that China, will get justice from
the League"
