success. Az the MONDAY pep lunch

three men on hand from the class
of 'S5 and about ten men from the
class of 10 came over from Kansas
University.
The whole corps, members of the
faculty, and a number of business
men Of Lexington, former cadets, met
the morning trains at the Lexington
station. The one from Kansas City
rolled in first, bringing a group of
"old boys" A minute later the train
from the east, bringing the M. M.
A. corps and team came in. While
the Wentworth band played the Wis
ting battalion detrained. Then led
by the w. M. "A. band and corps, fol-
lowed by Missouri Military Academy
and the Wentworth Junior Barracks
band and company, a parade was
held. The line of march covered the
principal business streets, and in
spite Of the cold weather, a good
number Of spectators watched the
two schools march by.
At 1890 a, m. a parade and re-
view was staged by the W. M. A.
battalion for the "old boys" A cold
wind whipped across the drill field
but seventy-fye grads" were out
and watched a snappy parade. When.

At noon a luncheon was served in

laid and Mr.. Washburn, the steward,
and his head chef, Mr.. Gibson, are

TEACHERS FIGHT TRAINING FOR

Chicago. Dec. 29-A nationwide campaign against military training for high school boys has been started here by the headquarters of the American Eedaratfon of Teachers. The first or ganization to pledge co-oDeration with he teachers is The League of Women Voters, of which Mrs. Harriet Tread well Taylor is president. A close sec ond is the Illinois League of Women voters whose Executive Board through it's president, Mrs Henry W, Cheney. has endorsed the rnoven, ent,
 The Federation's opposition to miit- tary training in the public high schools Is based upon three arguments:
 1. Because not even Germany deemed it advisable to maintain mili- tary training for school boys in time of peace.
 g. Because military training is not an adequate substitute for physical training.
 s. Because miiitar!sfn should be discouraged, not encouraged,
 The appeal is being sent to organ nations throughout the United States.

PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR CHINESE
 AND DENOUNCES ANCLO-JAP PACT

The purpose of Stinnes' recent visit to London has never been definitely learned, although it was generally un- derstood he discussed 8 proposed loan to Germany and his own plans for trade with Russia. It is extremely difficult to ascertain any facts in con- necuon with the financ1er's plans, as he is very secrettve and only confide in his most intimate business associ- a;tes, who are pledged to utmost se- crecy.
 Russians adher1ng to the anti-Bol- shevist factions have warned German political leaders that they would re- pud1ate any negotiations instituted with the Soviet authorities, but these threats have not deterred Shines, who goes right ahead with his own schemes for rehabilitation of German trade in
 every possible quarter of the world.
 Reports persist that an Anglo Ger man trade arrangement with the Mos- COW government is in the offing, but no confirmation of these rumors was obtainable in political quarters, which
 refer all inquiries to the industrial leaders
 From sources close to Shines the
 impression was gained he was mark ing time, while negotiating the best possible terms for 8 loan to Germany on collateral consisting of his hold ing Of fc~etgn bonds and other secur- tiles.
 The Deutsche AIIgemeine zeitung. organ of Shines, recently carried re- peatSo sla1en1ents that the German people should have no fears with re- gard to pending business deals of the German 1ndustrial3st, who always has the welfare of his country at heart and was working to rejuvenate Ger man finance and business. The political situation here is grad ually becoming settled, as the people resume normal activity. The rate of exchange constitutes one of the most serious problems with which the gov ernment still has to deal. but it is felt that, with conditions improving generally throughout the world this question will work itself out satisfac- torily.

And night and day he Is at work studying every phase of the problems of the Far East and is as busy that he wouldn't per init his secretary (who Is nearly worn out from the trip) to visit any of the Shanghai cafe or join a dinner and dancing party because he was afraid he would need him about midnight to take dictation.

 In regard to the delegates at the Washington conference from China he says: 'FThe genro or elder states men not only control Japan but con- trol the Chinese delegates at Wash ington through Governor Chang Tso- lin. of Manchuria, who finances the Picking government. The Southern Republic, with many millions of sup porters, is not represented at Wash ington.''

 New York. Dec. 29 - Since the armistice ended fighting in the great war there has not been a year so filled with events of worldwide i'm portance as marked the course of 1921. International problems of the first magnitude have been settled and 1922 dawns with conditions nearer to pre-war normal than at any other time since 1914.
 The outstanding development was cifc Treaty at Washington by the United States, the British Empire, the Japanese Empire and France. This treaty aims to prevent war in the Far East-the Orient being the chief trouble zone at present. Ac- cording to the terms of the pact, the signatory Powers shall submit any grievance to arbitration.
 Of almost equal ranking import ance was the movement initiated by the United States for the reduction of navies and limitation of land armaments.
 These two events, both of which grew out of the Washington confer ence, have put the United States in an important new position in world politics, American isolation, which began to crumble during the great war, is now a thing of the past. The Powers must reckon with the United States in any big movement of inter national significance in the future.
 another big peace development which came at the end of the year was the Irish settlement While Britain held the Irish problem to be a domestic issue, it is now generally admitted that 1t had ranliffcations outside of the United Kingdom which fostered trouble and unrest. Credit for the settlement of this seven century-old problem goes to Premier Lloyd George, the wizard of British politics.
 After holding out and threatening trouble for the Allies, Germany finally accepted the Allies indemnity demands Under the terms of the ul- timatum imposed last spring, Ger many is bound to pay about S3SOO0,- OOO,O0O. Here again the United

States figured. Germany appealed to this country, but Secretary of State Hughes advised Germany to settle upon the Allies conitions.
 The Silesian issue, which caused an armed uprising and for a time threatened war between Germany and Poland. was settled by the League of Nations without outside interference. Upper Silesia (which had been a. German province before the war) was partitioned, part going to Ger many and part to Poland. Germany resisted the decision, but was bound to accept it.
 There was considerable fighting in 1921. War broke out in the Near East between Greece and the Turk ish Nationalists. King Constantine went to Turkey and put himself at the head of his army. The Greeks advanced from the coast to the very gates of Angora-the Turkish Nation alist capital-but were defeated and thrown back. The Powers have de- cided to intervene and restore peace.
 The next biggest war was in Mo- rocco, where the Riff trtbesnen rose in arms against the Spanish. Spain has sent 8 big army to Morocco, but has not yet succeeded in putting down the rising.
 There was some fighting also, in Charles attempted to regain the Hun garian throne. The movement col lapsed, and Charles is now an exile upon the Island of Madeira.
 A revolution broke out in Portugal which overturned the Government. Conditions are still unsettled in Portu- gal, and the suggestion has been made that France, Spain and Italy in- tervene-
