cattle, while at the present time there

THE NORMAL JUNIOR PROM

Last Friday, May 18th, eliminated
the greatest social event OF the year,
the prom, given by the Juniors for the
class of 81. 1t was eagerly anticl-
pated by many for weeks. Great IN
terest was evident by those outside
the student body as well as those IN
it. The Juniors have again proved
their ability by making the prom the
wonderful success which it was, and
it will not pass lightly into oblivion
on our school calendar.
North Hall gym. was completely
transformed by the artistic decora-
lions which were skillfully carried
ont to the last note in old rose and
gray. The entrance to the gym was
made by STEPS up to a slightly raised
platform which was surrounded by
railing topped with rose shaded lights.
The platform was covered with rugs
and set with ferns. 1t gave porch
ike entrance into the main dancing
floor which resembled an old. Roman
court with entrances opening into 1t.
There were about 60 Of these alcoves
or openings into the main court. Each
alcove was separated from the one
adjoining it by a grey curtain ana
contained a rose shaded lamp and
gray covered chairs which would &C
conlodate 4 people. The walls were
entirely covered by streamers OF rose
and grey, while the originally inartls-
tic and unadorned ceiling and over
hanging balcony were completely
camaflouged by canopy OF rose and
ORGY streamers which reached from
the ceiling to the balcony rail, ana
from there hung in graceful curves
to the low hanging chandeliers were
large. square rose colored shades on
which the class embfems had been
skillfullv worked out At the end OF
the gym were two archways leading
from the main court into an inviting
coy corner which was occupied by
groups of dancers all evening. At the
left of the entrance corner was par
titioned off with the streamers for
the orchestra. In the opposite cor
ner an attractive booth had been de-
yised for the girls of the Third Year
Class who presided over the punhc
bowl.
The Grand March began promptly
at nine o'clock and was led by the
Junior Class president, Mr.. Alfred
Kiefer with his partner, Miss Nellie
Reese, and the president OF the Sen
Tor Glass, Mr.. Percy Clapp, who es-
corted Miss Vera Walker As the
figures of the March were completed,
the orchestra swung off into fox
trot. The dancing continued until
100 at which time, the old famliiar
strains of Home Sweet Home waited
softly from the orchestra.
The patrons and patronesses were
President and Mrs. Ames, Miss lrma
Hathorne, Miss Mary Mcmillan, Prot.
and Mrs. C. G. Stratton and Prof. and
Mrs. E. A. Whitenack
A number of guests, former stu
dents and alumni attended the prom.

presence was thoroughly enjoyed by
all.

ULSTER PROBLEM ID
 FACE IRISH PEACE .CONF FERENCE TODAY
TRepubIican A. p. Leased WIrel

LONDON. Oct. 20-The most diff fieult problem facing the Irish con ference-that of JFlsterAwiH, it is understood, come up tomorrow be- fore the full conference.
 Sim Fein delegates having fin ished their work on sub committees with the British representatives have been busy today with their experts concluding their case. The Sim Fein has maintained it's determination not to agree to enter the British com monwealth unless Ireland is treated as a unit. An effort therefore is to be made from the governments side to induce Ulster to consider some means by which, while preserving it's local autonomy. it may form a part of the Irish state.
 Ulsterites have resisted all appeals this far, and the restlessness in Bel fast is attributed in high quarters here to apprehension that the rank and file of the British representa- tives contemplate sacrificing them to the desire for an Irish settlement.
 All information obtainable in au- thoritative quarters, however. points to strict adherence by Premier Lloyd George and his colleagues to their Ulster pledges. The opinion is ex pressed by many persons that it will be possible to construct some plan which. while apparently leaving Ul- ster untouched, will give such ad- vantages to the south as to compel Ulster to make terms with the south.
 There are other persons to whom the difficulties seem inseparable, and many of them prophecy speedy break in the negotiations on this iSSue

RkTE: REDUCTION 1NM|NE l
Interstate Commerce Com mission Order Putting Rate Reductions In Ef- feet Expected Soon US. TO MOVE SUPPLIES Department of Commerce Prepared to Move Food And Fuel by Motor Truck In Event of Strike
US. TO MOVE SUPPLE
TRepublican A. p. Leased wirel


 WASHINGTON. oct. 2O-The note of optimism in official discussion of the railroad strike was more pro- nounced today. Several cabinet members expressed confidence that the cooling off period" which has intervened since the strike call has served to lessen the danger of a na- tional tieup.
 Administration officials when in formed of the termination of the con ference at Chicago between the rail- road labor board and the union chiefs tonight declined to comment, pre- ferring, it was explained to await a full report of the proceedings.
 One definite development, however, was the announcement that prepara- tions had been completed for~the CO., ordination under the commerce de- partment of plans for the transpor- tation of essentials should the strike go into effect.
 After a conference between Presi- dent Harding Chairman McChord of the Interstate Commerce commission, and acting Attorney General Golf. the impression was given that an or der could be expected soon from the commission putting into effect a re- duction in freight rates.
 Secretary Hoover, in announcing that the department of commerce was prepared to serve as focal point for efforts of state and municipal governments to secure movement of food fuel and other primary com modities in the event of the strike, indicated motor truck and water transportation wruld be used to sup plement any portions of the railroads left in operation. Traffic experts have computed that through the proper use of motor equipment, the average American city can draw sub- sistence from contiguous territory within 50 miles
 Under this plan, it was said. a community would not feel the ef- fleets of national strike before sev- eraI weeks had passed.
 Reports to the department indi- cate large industries generally have been busy assembling reserve stocks of fuel and raw material. This prep aration would permit the depart ments relief work, if 1T was pointed out, to be centered in behalf of those industries unable to take similar pre- caution and would limit the danger of industrial shutdowns.
 The two cases before the Interstate Commerce commission. involving pc titions for rate reductions, are that of western agricultural interests who have urged elimination of all wal time increases on grain, hay and feed and that of dealers in hardware and | forest products operating through | territory east of Arkansas for mate | rial decreases in rates on lumber. 1 Developments today strengthened ! the impression that the administra 1 ton would not move in the strik' 1 situation until the railroad labo board had b1 en given proper oppor ! tunity to function. It was reiterate, i that the administration was behinc 1 the board and would lend full sup \ port 10 its program now in process i of formation.

CHINESE REGARD
 JAP EMPIRE AS GREATEST PERIL II WORLD PEACE
Chief Counselor To China Arms Delegation Says Orient Fears Nipponese As Menace To Peace
TRepubIIcan A. P. Leased Wirel

HONOLULU, T. Fl. Oct. 20-That the Japanese empire is the factor most imperilling the peace of the Far East and of the world is the opinion expressed here today by pr. Chang Yu- Chuan, chief counselor Of the Chinese foreign office at Peking, who is here on his way to Washing ton to attend the armament confer ence. With him in a party of 9S consulting delegates of the Chinese mission to the conference. pr. Chang said:
 China, with her 400.000. .000 inhab itants, constituting a vital force to be reckoned with in moulding Far Eastern developments, looks upon the Japanese empire as the most dangerous vital factor, imDeriline the peace of the Orient and, therefore, the peace of the world
 MT. Chang continued:
 ''Regarding Shantung, China has nothing to negotiate, contending that with the defeat of Germany the German possessions in China auto matically reverted to China. The Chinese delegates will ente< the con- ference with cards face up on the table. We will not mince words in making our demands nor permit del- egates of the United States and Flu rope to remain under an nlisappre- hension as to our conception of Ja- pans designs in the Far East. China will insist absolutely that Japan get out of Shantung entirely and shall insist upon the unconditional revo- cation of the 21 demands and Japa- nese evacuation of all Chinese terri tory.
 China does not conceive that the peace of the Orient, and hence the peace of the world, is safe so long as Japan is permitted to remain in shan tung Our experience with the Jap anese has left in us a deep seated conviction that Japan is rot to b' trusted. No matter what countel arguments Japan may bring to bea' in the conference, the. cardinal point: of our policy must remain fixed ana unchange
 Mir Chang declared intrigue of tn Japanese general staff was respon sible for the friction between Pekini 1 government and the elements o
 south China by playing the interna | factions against each other to pre- 1 vent establishment of a stable centra
 government The difficulties be | tween north and south China, he said were minor problems in contract witt 1 the greater problems of China's na 1 tional development. He expresse' i doubt whether south China woul send delegates to the conference.

 HONOLULU. T. H., Oct. 19-John Hays Hammond mining engineer. ar rived here on the steamer Golden State today suffering from an at tack of phomaine poisoning contract ed'during a three months tour of Ja- pan. Mir. Hammond's condition is not serious although he is confined to his stateroom. He will continue his journey to the mainland tomor- row.
 : That the business men and finan- ciers of Japan arc sincere in their ex- pressed desire to maintain peace in the Pacific. was the opinion ex- pressed by the American mining ex- pert. He pointed out as an argu- ment in support of this conclusion that the United States buys four times the amount of goods from Ja- pan, as is purchased by the remainder of the world
 The military element in Japan still must be consider ed,'' MT Hammond said, but it's adherents are amenable to reason. especially owing to the achievements of the United States in the World war.
 My tour has impressed on me the belief that the conference at Wash ington vii, listen to China's conten- tion for revocation of the twenty ! one demands and that it also may consider changes in the apportion ment of Chinese territory acquired by outside nations during the war; Another passenger on the Golden State bound for the United States was | W.

Rail Executiues Of
 NeU York Poll Men
 Who Oppose Strike

NEW YORK, Oct. 20-Executives of railroads entering New York, in preparation to meet the threatened rail strike. today decided to take a poll of train employees to determine the number who will stick to their posts. Officials of various roads ex- pressed confidence that they would encounter no difficulty in filling va cancies.
 They based this confidence largely on the response they said they had received to advertisements for work CTS. In addition, they announced. they were lining up pensioned rall- road workers. Still another source of labor, railroad officials asserted, was to be found in colleges, clubs, and committing circles.
