THE NEW BOOKS
SOCIOLOGY and Modern Social Prob
IpmSS

The third edition of DR.. Charles A.
Ellwood's book on Sociology and
Modern Social Problems" is off the
press This book, which was orig
inally intended for an elementary text
for high schools, colleges and read
ing circles, has had an unusually
wide use throughout the country. The
new edition has maintained the gen
eral plan and organization of the
work, which is based on the workings
of the "chief factors in social organ
ization and evolution, especially
through the study of the origin, de-
velopment, structure and functions of
the family, considered as typical hu-
man institution"
"The purpose of this revision" says
Doctor Ellwood, 'has been to relate
the text to the problems of recon-
struction now confronting the nation,
to bring statistics down to date so far
as possible, and to revise the lists of
supplementary readings

THANKSGIVING MAIL HEAVY
Many Boxes Of F0odstuff and Special
Delivery Letters Handled.

More than 200 special delivery let
ters were received at the postoffice
yesterday and with a good many
Thanksgiving boxes of foodstuff sent
to students the mail was somewhat
heavier than usual.
Many boxes were delivered on the
morning delivery, but many more
came in too late for delivery and were
of necessity held over night at the
postoffice. as there was no afternoon
delivery Thursday afternoon. These
were sent out yesterday morning.
Many boxes were sent to students
who are out of town, mostly to the
Thanksgiving game at Lawrence, Kan.
and were therefore not delivered.
Postmaster L. j. Hall said that all
surplus mail sacks had BEEN called in
by the postoffice department, and
postmasters have been asked to get
along with just as few sacks as possi-
BILE, SO that there will be plenty of
sacks for emergency in the Christmas
trade, which gives indications of
iedCulu5 uupl leClueuL lllllJS.
He emphasizes the necessity of
placing street addresses on mail, and
asks that students inform their corre-
spondents to do so. He also asks that
return addresses be placed on all
mail. Many letters and packages
which are unbelievable are held
here, because people fail to do this.
Mr.. Hall thinks it is time to begin
thinking about the selection, pur-
chase and mailing of Christmas pres
ents, especially where packages must
be sent to China or Japan, wrapped so
should be securely wrapped and tied
Not dong ago package containing
fresh eggs was sent from home to a
student in the University. When the
package arrived the eggs were already
scrambled, and were scattered over
the other contents of the mail sack A
similar instance was that of a pack
age which contained glass jar of
honey, apples, and cake. 1t was sent
from home to college girl, and when
it arrived the contents were scattered
throughout the mail sack. The honey
stuck to everything with which it
came in contact. The glass jar was
broken into fragments, which were
mixed in with the honey.
MIR. Hall said that packages. are
frequently brought to the postoffice to
be sent toChina or Japan, wrapped so
poorly that they would be doing good
to get as far as Kansas City, with
out being broken. Postoffice officials
have instructions to examine the con-

form of government there is, the peo-
pie do need food, in order to keep

AS Mr.. Asquith says (and what he
says of his country should be true OF
ours): "This country has nothing
whatever to do in Influencing the
opinion or the action of the Russian
people as to it's internal and domes-
tic. policy. 1t is for them and for
them alone and not for us, I won't
say to dictate, but not even to assay"

THE CASE OF SOVIET RUSSIA

The policy of non-intervention is
inbred in American political tradition.
For this reason it is difficult for us
to countenance our government
present attitude with regard TO So
Wet Russia. Not only, however, has
cur army Invaded q country without
formal declaration of war, but the
government has adopted Il policy
which disallows commercial inter-
course between the United States and
soviet Russia.
The contention for this attitude
briefly stated is as follows: Il, That
the Russian soviet government has
availed itself of every opportunity to
initiate in the United States propa-
ganda aimed to bring about forcible
overthrow of the presen. form of gov
that gold brought into the United
States from Russia through CONNER
sustain such propaganda, and: ~
q that because of the naturalization of
the foreign trade in Russia, and be-
cause food allegedly is being dis
tributed according to class lines for
the purpose of the maintenance of
the bolsheviki in power, trade with
soviet Russia would become a med
ium of sustaining the bolsheyiki and
their program of political oppres-
sion."
1t is ridiculous to presume that a
young and unstable government, such
as Russia now has, finds time and
energy to spend on overthrowing a
strong and settled government, such
as ours. The people of Russia now
are finding it difficult even to exist
and are busily engaged in providing
food for themselves and in maintain
ing and establishing firmly the gov
ernment which they now have.
On the other hand, the United States
and other nations have installed
points OF attack in soviet Russia,
from which an attempt is being made
TO foment trouble against the exist
ing government of that land. The
United States has severed trade re-
iatlons asserting that such inter-
course would sustain the bolsbeyiki
and their policy of political oppres-
SION. This, to quote from l.. A. Mar
tens, representative to the United
States of the Russian socialist federal
soviet republic, is quite a novel de-
parture in international politics mas
much as it undertakes to determine
what kind of government the people
oil Russia may establish"
The Russian government in what
ever form it exists should be granted
the privilege of evolving to its possi-
bility, its process of growth not made
more difficult because of undue pres
sure and oppression from the outside
Since the United States, through its
senate has registered disapproval of
nterferences of the United States in

HERE'S THE GREATEST
ARMY STORY EVER. TOLD

The following description, copied
from letter found near a Southern
Railway station and apparently
written by member of the Air Ser
vice at Scott Field, in Illinois, to his
father, causes US to wonder If the i'm
aginative author of Gulliver's Trav-
els has come back to earth reincar-
mated in the form of a young Ameri-
can soldier:
81 have been appointed mess SER
geant of the Flying Detachment,

do will give you a few examples of
our work and efficiency.
81. The kitchen range is. 500 feet
wide and 5000 feet long, takes q
experienced firemen to keep the heat
at the necessary temperature, 400
cooks on duty all the time, 1000
mechanical stokers for kitchen po-
lice, and 1000 assistant kitchen po-
lice who look after the stokers.

dishes are paper and are burned after
each meal Hot cakes are mixed with
10 concrete mixers, and 46 men with
bacon rinds attached to their feet
continually shake over the large grid
die to keep it creased. Soup is made
in an artificial lake, keeping "a dump
trucks busy hauling the necessary
ingredients. Cooks use steel boats
and are dressed in abestos clothing,
and every few minutes row to the
center of the soup lake and drop
depth bombs to stir the soup proper
ly; CT fire engines are used to pump
the soup on the tables. Bread is cut
with II high-power band saws. A
perforated endless conveyer belt is
used to properly salt and pepper the
victuals; 20 large street sprinklers
are used to place syrup on the cakes.
Coffee is made in a 600-gallon can
and pumped to he several tables
through pipes. Six-incf mains are
installed from 20 of, the biggest

It's refreshing to know that so
many men who usually vote the re-
publican ticket, are wholly out of SYM
pathy with leaders of that party in
the United States senate, who seem
actuated bv no real ambition except
to belittle President Wilson, and mini
mize the important work he has done
for world peace, when once their mo-
tives are sifted to bottom. The edi-
tor of the Berea Citizen, a republi-
can newspaper, has several times,
stated the case very succinctly. We
note that another such man resides
down in Lincoln county in the person
of DR.. Taylor, pastor of the Baptist
church at Stanford. DR.. Taylor
preached at union services the other
night, using reconstruction problems
as his chief topic, and the problems
Journal says that he was enthusiastic
in his praise of President Wilson, who
he said believes was created and spar
ed to serve his country at this par
ticular time. "I am not democrat,
and am a republican, but I thank God
for such a man as Woodrow Wilson,"
he said with much emphasis.
There are too many big things in
life and the world today for mere
partisanship in politics to count
among people who think for them
selves and hope to see good done for
their country. The republican senate
leaders may find this out someday.
