INCRAHAM, horn in Coshocton, Ohio, on the 24th day 3 of January, 1864, departed this life on the 23rd day of March, 1919, at his residence on Warwick Boulevard in this city. ' His parents were Dr. James B. lngraham and Sarah Elizabeth Guthrie lngraham, and the admiration of the son for the sterling character of his father, the leading surgeon of Coshocton, and his love and respect for his mother bespoke the fact to his more intimate friends, with whom he fre- quently talked on this favorite subject. that the high and noble qualities which inspired the life of Robert J. Ingraham, and so closely bound him to a multitude of friends, had their origin at birth and were carefully nurtured in the family home. ln the highest and best sense his life was a success. Not perhaps in the accumulation of money, for this was always an incident merely, and never an incentive in the practice of the profession which he loved so and honored. He was never tempted by the allurements of office or the pride of placeg but when occasion called upon him to serve his city or his state he cheerfully sacrificed his time and devoted his talents to the task. As City Counselor he continued to strive in an official, as he had always done in a private capacity, for the welfare and progress of Kansas Cityg and in the discharge of the duties of that oflice he had the entire confidence of the community and soon established for himself a reputation with the Bar and public generally an expert in Municipal Law--a branch of his profession which seemed peculiarly attractive to him. He was one of the organizers of the Kansas City School of Law. He gave freely of his time, and by his counsel and advice was one of the main factors in building up the school. He delivered the first year a course of lectures on Criminal Law, and for many years was the lecturer upon the subject of Torts, and during the latter years of his life he lectured upon Public Corporations. Mr. Ingraham left surviving him a wife and two children, Margaret and Robert J. Ingraham, Jr. Every duty and obligation of life he resolutely met and fully dischargedg tender and affectionate in his homeg generous to his friendsg loyal to his clients and devoted to their serviceg a public-spirited citizen and patriot. The writer of this brief and inadequate memorial finds in one of his favorite books this passage marked by Mr. 1ngraham's hand. To love something more than one's self--that is the secret of all that is great: to know how to live for others - that is the goal of every noble aspiration. This precept hy which he lived may now well be his epitaph. JosEPH A. GUTHIIIE. WI LLIAM PA'l l' ER SON BOR LAND -Zu Y william Elgntiminn Enrlanh ILLIAM PATTERSON BORLAND, born in Leavenworth, Kansas, on October 14, 1867, sprang from a family whose lives were closely interwoven with American history. His ancestor, William Pat- terson, came to this country during the Revolutionary War, locating in Maryland, and history records that there was no citizen of that common- wealth who did more constructive work for his state during that war, and the War of 1812, than did William Patterson. William P. Borland came with his family to Kansas City in 1880, re- ceiving his early education in our public schools, attending the Franklin Ward School and the Central High School. He then entered the law office of Pratt, Ferry Sz Hagerman, and after reading law there for a time, was appointed claim agent of the Wyandotet and Northwestern Railway. He had started out with the idea of being a lawyer, and this work never diverted him from his original plans. On the contrary, it was merely a step in his legal education, for after two years of this work, he went to Ann Arbor and graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan, in 1892, as an Honor man, with the degree of LL.B. lt was at this time that a number of young men, fresh from their alma maters, formed a law class for the purpose of continuing their legal studies, and from this was developed the Kansas City School of Law, in which organiza- tion Mr. Borland was most active. g At the beginning in 1895, he was elected Dean, which position he contin- ued to hold until his election to Congress in 1908, when he resigned this active position, on account of his duties in Washington, and he was elected Vice- President of the Law School which position he continued to hold until the time of his death. He never for a moment lost his interest in the Law School, and his heart was wrapped up in the work, and to think of him is to- think of the Kansas City School of Law, There were three characteristics of his, which to my mind, stood out pre-emeninently: his courtesy, his industry and his courage. There was never a time when a student did not have the most courteous treatment from him, and it is reported that in the clash of opinions on the floor of the House of Representatives, in defeat as well as in triumph, he kept his temper, main- tained a judicial attitude and was uniformly courteous. His industry is shown in the vast amount of work that he accomplished. During these last ten years while has he been in Congress, he returned to Kan- sas City in the fall of the year and lectured three times a week, in addition to filling numerous other. speaking engagements, many times speaking at meetings both before and after his law lecture. During the-se twenty-five years of the law school he has lectured upon the subjects of: B-lackstone's Commentaries. Contracts, Bailments, Domestic Relations, Wills, and Administration of Estates. His work on Wills is a standard authority on this subject, and is used as a text in many law schools, and he had in preparation several other legal publications. We know him best as a lecturer in the Law School, and in this connection 1 cannot use words that will praise him too highly. He was a splendid lec- turer, and as a teacher of the law he was surpassed by no member of the faculty in this or any other law school. He knew the law, and had the rare quality of being able to impart his knowledge to the student in an unsur- passed manner. His courage shone out in his entire political career. As Champ Clark said, he was always on the side of the people. He stood for high ideals and cleanness in American politics, and was on the clean side of every public question. He catered to no pernicious influences. He never sacrificed his manhood for public preferment. He stood four square to all the world, and dared to do what he thought was right, and dared to do what he conceived was his duty. I know that his wife was a great help and inspiration to him in all that he did. He was married in 1904 to Miss Ona Winants. They had no children, but they adopted a son, Hugh Ogle Borland, and took to live with them a little girl, Jessie Knowles. He was devoted to his family, and the goodness of his heart was manifest in every act of his life. He was an optimist, always looking on the bright side, and his life and character may well be emulated by all of us. As was said at the memorial meeting held in the House by the Chaplain: Faith is the rainbow's form Hung on the brow of heaven, The glory of the passing storm, The pledge of mercy given, It is a bright, triumphant arch, Through which the saints to glory march. E. D. ELLISON. ,233 31uhgv Elulin E. liliillipa fi ,Q IIDGIC JOHN H. PHILLIPS, formerly United States District Judge, if and special lecturer in the Law School on t l'he Judiciary Clause of TL. -A the Federal Constitution and Pleading and Practice in the Federal Courts, has passed from our midst. No better testimonial of his life can be otfered than his own aphorisms, which he left with the students at the close of his last lecture: GenfIcmci1.' l leave you the following suggestion, in the form of aphorisms, which I beg you to frame in your memory: The profession you have chosen is among the most exalted that ever engaged the ambition of intelligent men. It belongs essentially to the cate- gory of thc noble sciences. It is a mighty instrument in the hands of a skilled expert, either for widespread mischief, or private and public good. If you sow and plant and cultivate in honor, you may reap and gather in honor. If you sow and plant and cultivate in dishonor, so will you reap and gather. Ceaseless vigilance, persistent and consistent industry are the inexorable conditions of success. ' Common lawyers can be picked up in heaps, for they lie thick about the level vvaysides, but the excellent ones are at the tops of the ragged steeps. Yours, more than any other, is the profession to which the present and posterity must look for the preservation of what is beneficient and cohesive in social organism, and for the security and perpetuation of what is rational in a limited democratic government. If you observe and enforce these things your profession will prove to be :L cornucopia, showering you with golden blessings, and you will make the world all the better for your living in it, ln deference to the expressed wishes of Judge John H. Phillips, his entire lznv library, which is very complete and carefully selected, will be turned over to the Law School by his daughter, Mrs. W. lXl. Fible, although no mention of it is made in the will. Also his otlice desk and chairs will be awarded to some worthy student upon entering into the practice of law. H Gln the Alumni OW, having come to that period in our course when we feel most able to appreciate the lives, efforts and achievements of our pre- QIQIY 3 decessors, we give pause in the race toward the high goal of success to contemplate what they really mean to us. Searching old annuals, and scanning pictured faces again and again, We find among the former mem- bers of this school men and women of rank and position in the world today. We can point With pride to the highest seats of honor in the nation, We can point to long lists of legal lights, We can look about us and in our daily lives and intercommunications at school behold and benefit by those who have trod this path before us. In view of these things, and to express a spirit of true appreciation for the hands, seen and unseen, which have silently pointed out to us the way of progress and upbuilding, We tenderly and gratefully dedicate this page of Our Own Book-the 1919 Pandex. 0112155 nf 1518 The twenty-first annual commencement of the Kansas City School of Law was held at the Grand Avenue Temple on Wednesday, June 5, 1918.

I sit here in my den, with bowed head, the inevitable pencil in my hand, the inevitable tablet open beneath it. The soft red of the cloth on the table, glows and slowly fades from my conscious sight. My hand traces unheeded the characters which express my thought. September, 1916. How time flies! How well I remember rushing up the lift and getting my hrst glimpse of regions mystical-the Kansas City School of Law- Three years ago, mid smoke and song, And our Freshman Class a winner- Altho we lost our big boy Long And beautiful Dollie Skinnerf Dan Cupid shot his baleful arrow Piercing the heart of our own dear Farrow- Taylor and Michaels, Shumway and Lindenbauer, All left us as Juniors in war's fateful hour. Then Mrs. McFadden and her consort, too, Hit the high road and returned not to school. That Freshman Year! How filled with those tasks of tremendous effort, laid on the bur- dened shoulders of an uninitiated student body. It calls before memory's screen a tenderly familiar scene in dear Old Ben Todd's class: . The Curfew blows the hour of nine. Blackstone's lecture is progressing fine. But the room somehow is stifling hot! From the back row rises a snore-Why not? Bruner has waked from Dreamland Fair, Rushes to open the windows for MORE AIR! Close upon his heels flies Cleaton bold, To Shut those windows, and Keep out that COLD. While Dear Old Ben in tones Dee-light-ed Roars out to Freshies, f'Write it! WRITE IT! The Year's film rolled on: we entered 19173 when we were introduced to our First School Function-Washingtoifs Birthday Banquet at Hotel Baltimore. Doll Skinner and I were late- perchance that is why so many saw the gorgeous butterfly pasted on Doll's arm. My! but that insect cause a lot of commotion! Leavy and Chet talked about it until June roses hloomed. That Freshman Class was a hustling bunch. Politics? Oh, my! What a ticket they did elect. Don Noakes in his excitement iso 'tis whisperedj had small regard for glass door panesg and when the Seniors put out the lights and locked the office door, to our astonishment, we beheld the Number Twelves of Bruner disappearing over the transom in quest of more light. He always sought a social light. Oh, do you remember Judge Middlebrook's final in Kent? Oh Boy! And that night that Gillis proposed his Family Hotel for our dance? Oh Joy! Like all things passive, Freshman memories, having arrived at June, became merged soon thereafter with .lunior activities of September, 1917. Our Junior Year opened with a terrific storm. Rain and otherwise. My! how it did rain that Tuesday night and how wildly they waged their first junior class fight. 745, Sr-arce had we entered upon our year'S schedule when shocked and grieved, we were call:-rl upon to attend beloved Ben Todd's last earthly service. He had gone to meet his God. At this point, we first meet Judge Johnson, whom to know is to love, for there never existed a more kindly heart, a more sympathetic understanding or a more inveteratc, yet amusing, story-teller. In November, our old friend Leacy saw fit to take upon himself the burdens of double harness. Mandel, prime plotter and co-conspirator with his accomplices in crime, gave us all one rousing time. Doll Skinner kept in hiding most of the time. From paper bag of rice suspended over the rostrum to the clothes rack with its infantile accompaniments, the stage was set for a good old-fashioned charivari. A cow bell suspended behind a cloak, above Anna Mae's head seemed possessed of a strange perversity for breaking into and drowning out the most important part ofthe quizz. It was on mechanic's liens, too. Now, Anna Mae, Guilty? Or Not Guilty? Well, Landis might be implicated, but he looks awfully innocent. We want candy! We want candy! ! We want candy! We want candy! ! . Wailed the waiting women for entertainment- Johnson's brown bonbons brought blissful contentment. A lot of fellows got married that year. Rogers, Sanders, Leacy, Cleaton, Dabbs 1Yes sir, that's straight goods. James told mel, Farrow and oh! lots of them, and most all had to treat the girls. Oh, girls! Remember those delicious Dickey Concoctions? And I just wonder what became of Mother Munson. Politically in our Junior Year, the most promising infant was born. We dubbed it The Barbarians. But it seemedeto tire of its own company and later we saw it affilate with our born politician Noakes and his contingent. How those Junior months did fly! How industriously Juniors sang CD for Judge Seehorn's edification. Evidence, in its legal acceptationfilllh and his patient quizzes were constantly met with HDYING Declarations! But on the whole, it was a lively class. In February, 1918, war clouds were dark and threatening. Boys were restlessly awaiting their call to the colors. Girls bravely prepared for new conditions. In view of these dis- turbing elements the class was called to a social gathering Way Down South. Judge John- son read the notice and remarked that this invitation has one too many feet in.the last line. We will admit our limitations as to versification but we won't admit that too many feet of our class could line up around the walls of Mother Byers' living room. She's a pretty good scout when feet happen to cross her path. At least such whispers were heard issuing from the kitchen, upon the departure of the Juniors, one by one, as would lead to the assumption she had been successful with her eats anyhow. As to the rest? Oh well, you know congenial company is bound to entertain itself. This was the first time we met Clara Austin, and then we realized just why brother Austin was such a fine boyg and talked with Mrs. Rogers, secretly rejoiced in her charm, and solved the distracting problem at the root of Roger's smile, which refused to come off. Week by week sped away our Junior Year and all of us, save a few, decided to take the bar. The opening scene is laid in the Scarritt Library. You girls a'going to take the bar? We're studying up-don't know that we are. But when that Sunday in June arrived, We girls, to be at the station, contrived. Pals to each of us on that train, Austin and Leavy forthwith became. Round about noon, when they took a diner on, Judge Pollock and Gillis came strolling along. Come go to lunch with us, quote they, And from our poor pals, they bore us away. But in Jefferson City Leavy and Austin retrieved. So we're thankful to them for good times received. Oh, that exam! How our mental molecules didjar, While we fully cognized we were passing the bar. 'Tis whispered- One is passing the bar, falling from his high aims, Went pretty far. How about that James? And next time, Judge Pollock, you arrange a dance Advise us what dresses to bring-in advance. With Ketchersid one morning we climbed up to the dome There in Missouri's capital, we put our names, dates and home. rf -Mw- On Wednesday noon we finished and Sam took us out to the Pen. Where we saw what the law will cause, every now and then. At three our train sped in and bore us all away, Back to home and Mother and lots of work piled to stay. But Oh! the thrill when we saw the Star And found that all had passed the Bar! With a sigh of satisfaction we come to our Senior Year: mature and ripe with experience dear. What a class-out of one hundred-twenty-nine, a bare sixteen remained. Between the war and the Hu, it is a wonder we had even sixteen. Nevertheless, we started out bravely enough, facing the weekly call of our boys into Service and it so continued until that wonderful day when Joy went wild on November 11, 1918, and cried its sentiments to heaven in noise which almost mounted to the dignity of prayer by reason of the sincerity prompting it. One by one our boys returned from Earth, Air and Ocean, until January or thereabouts, close to forty of us were together again. Remember how the parties united to put Chet, Parsons, Landis and Clark in oflice, just because they had been in the Service and had done what they could. But the election of that Pandex Committee, Gee but it was stormy. Friend Leavy grew quite feverish over the election of his fatal rival for the affections of Dame Fortune. And Austin and Sam started to sell advertising to put the Pandex over. There is I. B. Smith now, look at him with his thumbs in his vest armholes. He is some criminal lawyer, let it be known. Into that court room all a-tingle, Came I. B. Smith,.nerves all a-jingle. Was n't he trying his first case that day? Must n't he save that darky someway? Were n't all his alibis, reasonable, logical and fair- When lo! if that nigger didn't say 'Ah wasn't der! l' Watch Dean springing an unlooked-for quizz. Gaskell is the minuteman. He arises and expounds the law. They say he is going to practice near Springfield. Gaskell believes in going to the source of things in location as well as knowledge. We have to stop for a moment and contemplate Caleb Monroe. Did we have ever a quizzer whom we loved more than Caleb? Didn't we have more fun with him, just because he could see a joke. Even when Cleaton the year previous broke the bottles and oh-be-joyful ran all over the floor, and even when parting with the Seniors for the last time, didn't he keep on smiling thru his tears? We're strong for Monroe. Rah! Rah!! Rah!!! February 22, 1919, rolled around and the yearly banquet was at hand. Early on the morning of that day, to our amazement, we gazed upon the pictured features of our lecturer and teacher, Mr. Borland, and learned that his useful and active life had Hickered out on foreign soil, Our banquet was postponed and a memorial meeting' instituted in its stead. We met and from among his many friends, acquaintances and associates came the stories of his life, piece by piece, telling the course of a courageous and successful struggle for place, power and position in the world. Those who did not speak, silently laid mental tributes on his distant tomb, From sorrow to joy is ever the course of the human span. What would Kansas City School of Law Seniors ever do without Mr. Dean. Ever patient, ever endeavoring to under- stand and fulfill the need of the peculiarly situated students of this school, we find him an ever ready friend. Why just a few months ago, in his desire to contribute to our happiness and to entertain us for a while with something our of the ordinary, he invited us to his beautiful home. Can we forget? Once more fancy flies back to the school room. There are Latshaw and Eisenman fighting and dickering over by the window. Now you be good boys or Lynn will pepper you with paper wads. And Swanson slowly answering his question, grows redder and redder. Wonder why? And I just can't help thinking about Fredericks. Convention Hall and he-danced, And -well I just can't get over it. Fredericks has always been such a quiet child. My old l'al Benham just calling to We're all right, ain't we pudner? and he laughs as he teases me about my views on women's rights. By jovel Kilian, you here? Well bless your old heart fl mean young hearty how's my rival, your wife? Stick to her, Kilian, shelll make a lawyer-man of you yet. Believe me. Here is Milton too, wanting to know what it's all about. Nothing, Milton, as usual, nothing. 'No, Estes, I did not find a case on that point the J udge asked us to look up the other night. Now just which point was it? HOh, say, Barnes, did you ever get that check from Mrs. Skinner? We ought to have a feed on what she owes 7477 us. There is Emory fStillJ Hunt ever after knowledge. Miller on the back row, why don't you come up in front and join these legal lights? Don't you love to ride in taxis when there is a strike? Especially when the company is congenial. We'll take you home again sometime, if you're good---provided you pay your own way. Stew Venn, you going to stay awake during lecture tonight? If you don't I shall see that Chet tickles your nose with a lighted cigarette. A sudden clapping, There comes Miss Campbell and she's had her hair dressed. Don't she look sweet? Where's James? fJames enters clothed with smiles.j Tra la! Mr. Hill, our banquet speaker, delivers his speech two or more pages at a time. Buzzzzzzz, Buzzzzzzzzz! No, not a bee in sight, but look at Fields. Oh its nothing, just a reminis- cence from the banquet held on March 22, 1919, but seriously, whenever you want to know the Law ol' the Colony, consult Edmund. They say Dean Ellison is tickled to death over the Pandcx this year, but that Mr. Healy is skeptical about the choice of the Seniors in the selection of dedication material. And we still wonder if Mr. Gage likes that definition, An ambulatory will is one that amblesf' And we cannot help bearing in mind Senator Cooper's ethics on The Treatment of a Client. Wonder if Judge Fyke thinks about us now and then as reasonable risks in Insurance. And Jack Hutton, well do we remember our farewell banquet to him when he joined the colors in our Junior year? Can we ever forget Jack and his hypo- thetical domestic relation quizzes in Kent? No, I should say not. At any rate Anna Mae cannot. Neither can Anna Mae forget Campbell-his name is like hers. Heis a nice chap, though. Decker is coming in late as usual. He just loves to study in the library. There seems to be an overwhelming attraction there for him. Poor Stewart had a hard time in his Senior year, lighting the U. S. Mails for time to study- Out again, in again, gone again, Finnegan, has been his motto. Can't blame him for feeling pessimistic now and then, or being so serious about suffrage, etc., etc. The old class-room fades into the distance. But hark! another comes knocking. Just Connie Metz. He wants his hat, he is going round the corner. The whole class comes back. t'Hey, come in here, Metz. You're wanted for eluding class meeting. Still memory lingers as if loathe to leave so fascinating a subject. There arises the last Moot Court-Judge Fields on the bench, Lynn Ketchersid the plaintiff, Miss Campbell, his attorney, Gaskell the attorney for the defendant. Mr. Estes. Mr. Ketchersid to the stand first called, answered straight and true, Cross examined by Gaskell, he clung to his tale: The bill is due. Miss Campbell spoke with legal wit: Your Honor please, I object. Parol evidence cannot introduced be, to vary the terms of a written contract. f Estes, defendant, his face drawn with woe, I move we adjourn, I've got to go. Unmoved, Judge Fields proceeded with solemn mien, And answered judicially: Miss Campbell, your objection cannot be sustained. On through the trial in peppery ire of examination, cross and direct, Objection and ruling, swift, uncertain, not always correct, Burned the air like fire, as the judge decided in tones cold and cruel, Miss Campbell, you are too young and inexperienced my dear, hence your motion, I must overrule. Thought runs quietly, a smile seems to light the evening, I awakened from my reverie to find my mother calling me to breakfast. My tender recollections and fond memories scatter to the winds in light of day. Adieu, Good Seniors, I wish you well, and may there be no part- ing twixt me and you. May your every joy bud into fuller fruition, may your every success fulfil your high ambition, may sweetness and fun, wealth untold, brighten your paths with joys and brightness like threshening of gold.

To that end, the editor has lent his best efforts, commensu- rate wilh the limited time and means at his command, to give mention to our companions and comrades. Undoubtedly, the names of some have been en- tirely omitted. For this, the editor is truly regretful, as are the members of the school, and particularly the faculty. The registrar's oflice had no definite manner in which it might have kept record of the destinies of those who de- parted from the school since the declaration of war. It has been impossible to trace many of our companions, primarily because addresses procurable produced no replies. Many failed to Write their school companions after leaving. Of some of these we have learned a little through the efforts of the Editor-in-Chief, whose collection of notes and clippings served materially in the formulation of the Honor Roll herein published. Resort was had, too, to the Honor Holl of the Bar Association, and to sundry and divers other means, that all might be remembered by us. The task has been no small one, and, if those who find their names omitted will but write the Registrar, he will see that such name, or names, are added to the Honor Roll, which is to be placed in the school, and thus, in a measure, offset the neglect here recognized.

A. :,,,,?Q,1i HE members of the classes of 1917 and .1918 are entirely familiar with the excellent instructor, who so amiably and diligently strove to aid those classes in conquering some of their most important sub- M '55 jects in the study of the law. Unfortunately for thernlthe present classes of our school-did not know this world-famed student as their instructor. Those who knew him, and who studied under him, were benefited in a measure which they alone can appreciate. To those who failed to reap the benefit of his scholarly companionship and instruction, it must be said that theirs is an inestimable loss. The late Major Bland fell in Battle in the St. Mihiel, on September 12, 1918. He was one of the first to take up the training at the First Federal Reserve Oflicers' Training Camp, at Ft. Riley, Kansas, in May, 1917', almost immediately after our declaration of war. He was one of a very few to be commissioned a Captain as a result of that camp's course. He became a Major shortly before leaving for France with the 356th Infantry, 89th Division. The scholarships, military and other honors, which this noble character had attained in this thirty-one years of life, are exemplary of the brilliant scholar, and great soldier that he was. During his attendance at Weston High School, Washington, D. C., in 1906, his company of cadets won first place in a competitive drill, in recognition of which the then President Roosevelt pre- sented him with a diamond medal. It was while attending Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, in December, 1909, that he won the Cecil Rhodes Scholarship, entitling him to a four-year course at Oxford University, England. While there he held four offices in the Oxford Union Society, and in March, 1913, was elected president of that society, being the first American ever to hold this honor. As was said by Colonel R. Bryson Jones, M.N.G., Mo., in a memorial held in Kansas City shortly after the Major's death: 'AAs evidencing his fine character and remarkable scholarship, his election to the presidency of the Oxford Union attracted the attention of the world. His is the only portrait of an American to adorn the halls of old Oxford. He was one of the world's greatest scholars, equally as great and noble a soldier, his spirit of friendliness toward his fellowman caused them to cherish his association with exultant pride. It is indeed proper to quote once more from the language of Colonel Jones: When his country called him, his answer was immediate and complete, and when his noble soul was summoned to report to the Commander of the Universe, William J. Bland died for you, for me and for all mankind. . . In our ever recurring thoughts of him we shall again and again hear the words of the Nazarene: 'Greater love than this hath no man,' for Major Bland died for his friends and a sacred cause. T C Q - ,72- IHIIN ff .k Wy 0.35 ., iff I l I l l'l JN , Y 'iKumnria C Every service man knows there are more rumors in the service than there are boardersj Leif! T IS with a deep sense of modesty that we praise the work do-ne by Hour own Jack Hutton during the recent past war. He is one of the ones to Whom is owing a debt of gratitude, which the Nation '79 59 owes to the entire force of conquerors sent abroad. A Suffering Hrst the trials of old Fort Riley, after having sacrificed his busi- ness in Kansas City, John G. Hutton matriculated at the First Reserve Officers' Training Camp a second lieutenant of Field Artillery. Why he chose that branch of the service, we doughboys and cavalry stable-police, cannot under- stand. But the comparative science of that complicated mass of logarithms and astronomical calculations, or miscalculations as they often are, demand officers of higher education, extremely active of mind, and yet patient to the virtue of saints, a diplomat and a disciplinarian in the same person, a student, professor, dynamite expert, mechanician, pattern-maker, draftsman, master of equitation, chef, and many other combinations of beings all in one!the successful artillerist-Jack Hutton. Matriculation with a commission, after having undergone West Point's four-year-course in three months, J ack's trouble only began, after a few days' leave, he returned to Ft. Riley in September, 1917, greeted by a band of out- laws, vagabonds, conscientious and unconscientious objectors, chimney- sweeps, bankers and gentlemen-all in the form of raw recruitslwho looked upon Jack as the one to save them from cold and starvation, and upon whom Jack looked as sometime soldiers, he commanded a battery, learning, teaching, drilling, computing, cussing Uh, and doing the other things that are necessary to train recruits, until in February, 1918, he was promoted to first lieutenant. He took his fighters overseas with the 89th Division, and led them against the enemy upon numerous occasions. The editor knows what an executive officer in a field artillery organization is, and anyone else who happens to know can sympathize with Jack, for he was executive officer invariably when his battery went into action. To the layman I might say, that a regiment of field artillery, in position, is of course commanded by its colonel, besides him, there are four majors, four battalion adjutants, eight captains, three hundred and 'steen orderlies, a telephone officer, some aerial observers and aviators, all compiling data for the firing batteries, such as, the distance to the nearest white cloud, a tangent of the 102 lower curl of that cloud, in the direction of the enemy, at 60 0 Fahrenheit will serve as a trajectory for the oncoming projectiles, all of which supposes that fired projectiles will thus strike somewhere in enemy territory, all of this force of know-nothings hold the executive ofncer personally responsible that their data is used by the gunners. In other words, all Jack had to do was to take messages and instructions from Foch and all subordinates, all of which messages were doubt- lessly punctuated by enemy shells, while their authors awaited results in some rear cave. Then, with that calmness that he might display in our class-room, Jack had to complacently give out those orders to the dumb-heads operating the field pieces. If someone of the gunners disobeyed, Jack got the little note from the colonel, Explain by endorsement hereonf' Our Jack was not wounded, but he was gassed. He was invalided home in the late fall of 1918, and is now convalescing at the Base Hospital, Ft. Sheri- dan, Illinois, hoping to gain his release soon, and more than entirely anxious to reture to his practice in Kansas City. -74a His students, the Faculty, the Bar, and his other friends, extend him a most hearty welcome. It is their honor to Welcome their undaunted leader'-W their own Jack Hutton. O. P. HIGGINS, The Star's reporter, who went to Ft. Riley with the anxious ones at the declaration of war, and who remained a reporter, and who published in The Star the names of all embryo ofhcers who turned out at reveille to pick up cigaret stubs, burnt and other matches, waste paper and scrap, orange peel, sticks, brush, and the likeg the man who so embarrassed those dignified ones who resented itg and who went to Sill to give the home folks the dope on their boys in training down there, and who later went to France and wrote more about Kansas City men over there. is on his way back to New York. Doubtless many of his articles served to soothe the anxi- eties of friends and relatives of soldiers who had not been heard of for months and months. We acknowledge the service he has performed. EDWARD D. BARKER, a member of Battery E., 129th Field Artillery, 35th Division, is one of our companions who fought in the Argonne, St. Mihiel, Vosges and Verdun. To such a gallant soldier, we extend, in our humble manner, expressions of deep appreciation, and acknowledgment that in him is contained the type of man who conquered the Hower of the Kaiser's forces -fthe Prussian Guards. 'Through the efforts of such men as Mr. Barker, the Guards became suddenly homesick for somewhere in Iceland. FIRST LIEUTENANT FRANCIS BRODIE, 341st Field Artillery, is tele- phone oflicer of his battery, and is now with the Army of Occupation, 89th Division. If it's necessary for someone to move in order to let Brodie and his outfit occupy, Brodie is one who will aid them in their departure. ROGER L. BlARKER'S anxiety to get overseas early in the game, brought him to resign his commission in the 130th Field Artillery, after which he went overseas with the 30th F.A. He has since regained his commissioned status, and the record made by the 30th Field was the result of the combined eiiorts of soldiers like Mr. Barker. SERGICANT tFirst Classj RUEBEN R. COHN, 110th Engineers, sent home a German helmet. It would be Hcommenting on the evidence to say anything further. This is not Federal procedure. ,,7S, , JOHN R. EDLUND'S reserve position, in a tank, ready t0 H0 il1F0 action, was one of the things, which, when the German soldiers discovered it, scared them so badly that the men in the front line positions found it easier conquering. He was ready to Htreat 'em rough, but didn't quite get there before eleven o'clock on the eleventh of the last eleventh month. HOWARD K. GOULD soared to a first lieutenancy in the 815th Pioneer Infantry, now with the 89th Division, Army of Occupation. Perhaps he is the author of the statement that the American negro would rather depend on his razor than his bayonet, But Gould and his outfit are nearer to Berlin than many of us have been. To DONALD HURD we owe a debt of gratification, and if bravery is to be lauded, then we can with all propriety, praise the work of Mr. Hurd. He was wounded in the Argonne Battle, and is now at the Base Hospital, Camp Pike, Arkansas. CLAYBOURNE L. JENNINGS, of the 412th Telephone and Telegraph Detachment, 25th Company, had much to do with the communication service in and about Paris. He built a large service station near that city, and had the distinction of supervising the lines connecting the Peace Conference with President Wilson's party. He is now chief operator of the entire city of Paris. He has been overseas since June, 1917. HARRY HERROD is about the most modest soldier among our com- panions. We have heard nothing, nor can we ascertain anything about his activities, but the editor-in-chief found that he has been 'tgassedf' and awarded the Croix-de-Guerre. Let us not be unmindful of the meaning of such an award. And let us, too, be mindful that a soldier's work is the most thankless of all. Let us assure him, through this article, that We have a high degree of honor, respect and love for him, and an appreciation for the things he accomplished, fully commensurate with those things so accomplished. Our old pal, CHET ALVAH KEYES, would have been the Eddie Richen- bacher of the Navy had the war lasted a few months longer. We are all glad the war is over, however, even if it did preclude that distinction from falling upon Chet. It has been well said that there are many 'Adry-weather sailors, but that there are few storm sailors. There were, too, many naval aviators, but ,,7.,, . they weren t all llke our Chet He braved the TSCQIVIHE shxp whlch IS not a shlp at rll braved the mandates of haughty enslgns and petty offlcers braved every thing that a poor sallor has to suffer and a great many others that he doesn t hue to suffer all to become a Naval Avlator Af tel many months hard study earnest endeavor and darlng perseverance hc attfuned such a commlsslon and to hlm we w1ll say that lf hls vlgllance ln the practlce of law compares to that of hls naval career we are looklng for w nd to ff1e'1t thlngs to befall him JOHN WAI TER HILL of lawful age bemg Hrst duly sworn deposes and says that he was a Naval Avlator wlthout servlce overseas The clerk has entered lt up of record The record IS a splendld one free from error and one WhlCh we thlnk w1ll sustaln the verdlct IH a court of last resort If any of you do not belleve It appeal Hlll can fly as hlgh as Keyes' JOHN T BARNES saw SEFVICC IH the lVI1ssour1Un1vers1tyUn1t S A I' C He had a llght touch of the Army If all of the present regular army sold1ers had gust such a touch before enllstlng there would be a smaller regular army Some old gentleman made a speech a snort tlme ago 1n wh1ch he saxd It IS the sp1r1t that qulckeneth the Hesh proflteth nothlng We mlght add that Barnes had the Splflt WILLIAM STEWART VENN earned a second heutenant s commxsslon ln Fleld Artlllery The edltor extends hls slncere sympathy to all who served IH Fleld Artlllery For commandants ln Fleld Artlllery the poor understudy has ex Justlces of the peace from small towns 1n New England always dropplng thelr r s and havlng nothlng else to drop say httle of anythlng yet they expect the heutenant and hls platoon to be thoroughly conversant wlth the sclence lhe edltor can appreclate what ELMER F PIERSON second heutenant Machlnc Gun Corps had to come through To study machlne guns IS one thmg 'Io soldxers IH New Mexlco IS another thlng To do both IS to brmg one s self to mental and bodlly rum But contrary to the deductlon Mr Pxerson IS back wlth us more studlous than ever before and although he was one of us who was not overseas he probably suffered more ln New Mexlco th in many suflered overseas 77 , . .. . . . .

It has been said that from the President down, almost without exception, every oflieer who is censured can look down to another notch and hand it to someone else. Such is not the lot of a corporal, the hardest place in the army. With everyone overhead criticising and raising disturbance, the corporal stands responsible for his seven men. He cannot say much to them, because they have him out- numbered by seven. So he bears the brunt of the burden properly to be borne by eight men, and to one who can do that all alone, and still get back to us without wound chevrons, we extend a real welcome. Among our representatives to the United States Navy, we take great pride in acknowledging the service performed by FRED LANDIS, Who gained the distinction of first-class signalman, his short service, something slightly over six months, netted him that position. It is not the inactive mind that accomplishes this comparatively difficult feat, and. although we are truly glad that the war is seemingly entirely over, We have great faith in what our companion might have accomplished in a longer period of service. Our classmate CSenior Classb, CHARLES HENRY CLARK, was an em- bryo officer at Camp Taylor-Field Artillery Training Center. Too bad he had to suffer such trials as those foisted upon a gullible aspirant at Camp Taylor. Many would trade it month for month for a German prison camp. EDWARD J. EISEMAN was the second from his household to represent his family-tree in the service. His brother was severely Wounded in action in France, but is now in the states convalescing. Our companion was on the closing stretch in his race for an Infantry commission when the armistice was signed. MR. ARNOLD FREDERICKS, our joxial classmate, is a member of the Navy Reserve. Just Why these inlanders hike to the Navy We cannot quite understand. He saw considerable service, and we have no doubt that his presence in our navy was felt by the German peace conferees when they surrendered their entire navy. W. E. STICKEL, an Infantry devotee, of the Junior Class, was putting the final razor edge on his bayonet when the armistice was effected. 7737- lt is with deep regret that we learn of the death, in action, on September 19, 1918, of GEORGE H. SIEBENTHALER, then of the Alumni. He was a graduate of Whittier School and the Manual Training High School, as well as the Kansas City School of Law. While the victory won by the glorious armies sent abroad cannot be under- estimated, and While such triumph quickens the hearts of the most of us, and makes us cherish more closely and more tenderly the love We cultivate for our nation and for our ideals, let us not forget that such victory was bought with the lives of many of our brave and undaunted heroes. Let us pause in the moment of our excitement to remember, with all due and proper respect and reverence, the sacrifices made by so many of our friends. Be mindful that no accomplishment of man can compare, even from afar, to that great sacrifice made by those who died for you and for me. George H. Siebenthaler was one who willingly gave his life that you and I might enjoy the liberties which we so sacredly hold. RUFUS BURRUS, of the Freshman Class, had the spirit that quicken- eth. He performed his lot in the Kansas City College Unit, S.A.T.C. EDWIN J. BECKER, JR.-Do not confuse that with our legal associate, E. C. Becker, because Edwin J. Jr., is a Freshman. He also saw service in the K.C.C.U. CS.A.T.C.b. Anything beats the home guards, and we feel certain that these S.A.T.C. men will perform, if the time should come, with less clumsiness than did a great many of our older men during this war, who decorated the leading hotels with shoulder bars adorning their uniforms. ROBERT INGRAHAM was an Aviation Cadet. Possibly precluded from obtaining a commission because he was a Freshman, and because the war didn't last long enough. But, sincerely, we appreciate the things done by all non-overseas men, as Mr. Healey said at the Banquet, The pressure of the oncoming forces from this side of the Atlantic was as powerfully felt by the enemy, as was the bayonet point of those in actual combat. NATHAN S. SCARRITT retracts his former statement, and for answer to the petition of the PANDEX heretofore filed herein, admits that he was a second lieutenant of Infantry. More noble than some part of the Artillery, may wc add? myqi HENRY E. MEADE, also of the Junior Class, had much to do with personnel work during his service in the Army. Any soldier would rather kill sixty Germans every day, than to splash ink in a personnel office ten mintues. Such, we believe, are Henry's sentiments. HUEL HALLIBURTON, a Junior for the lack of suflicient prestige t.o be a Senior, had his sufferings to endure at the Field Artillery Central Oflicers' Training School. Another who would have been wearing gold bars ere now, had the St. Mihiel and Argonne been postponed a little bit. LIEUTENANT GUST. F, BEHRENDT, is one of our companions whose noble service at the front frustrates the theory of hyphenated Americanism. Born in Germany, this young man came to America when fifteen years of age. He had lived in Kansas City, and was pursuing the practice of the law for six years when the war began. He won a commission in the United States Army and served many months at the front, and finally, in the Argonne gained notable distinction, in that he led a small platoon against enemy machine gun positions, completely con- quering them, and made way for the balance of his company, the result of which was the taking of 550 prisoners and 300 machine guns. JOHN R. CLAYTON, of the Alumni, gained distinction for bravery in action while at the front. The citation shows that for 48 hours the telephone communications in his area had been rent by enemy Hre, yet Mr. Clayton, although severely Wounded, carried messages between his battalion and the headquarters of a higher command. He was, too, gassed during his service. His is the type of American that won the war! SERGEANT E. H. SWEGMAN was with the Finance Branch of the 10th Division at Camp Funston, Kansas. He would have graduated with the Class of '19. He is now auditor of the American National Bank of Tulsa, kla. ERNEST D. WILSON left the Class of '18 to join the 110th Engineers. While at Sill, he talked himself into a Sergeancy in Company D. He took part in every engagement in which the 35th Division fought, and is now on the water sailing back to America-and Anna Mae. -80f MR. EGIRERT SANDERS served with Company G, Signal Corps, with the A.l'l.l ., France. J XMIW A PURCEI L who rior to his enlistment in the Marines was .- A.. ,pl . , . a United States Marshal for this District, was one of our Juniors to jump behind ll 5-A draft classification and do his bit. JAMES E. DYER saw service at the Great Lakes Naval 'Training School. He was :1 member of the '18 Class. - ALFRED C. CROUGH is another one of our successful gobs. He enlisted in the Navy and saw six months service at the Great Lakes Station. He was m the Seaman Branch, rating as a second-class seaman. WILLIAM K. MICHAELS, '19, left school in his Freshman year and attended the First Officers Training Camp, at Funston. He could not hide his newspaper experience, however, and was made one of the Advertising Managers of the Stars and Stripes. He was one of the first to go and will be among the last to return. TIERA FARROW MOATS saw a little service herself. During all of the past Winter she drove an ambulance in the unit stationed in New York City. She transported the wounded from the ships across the city to hospitals. Before leaving Kansas City, Miss Farrow was decorated by Colonel Garrett for efficient recruiting work.

On May 10, 1917, shortly after the declaration of war, there opened at Ft. Riley, Kansas, a school for enlisted men of the regular army and men from civil life who had had military training, with a view to supplying the oncoming demand for qualified officers. It was decided to give as complete a course as possible within three months. and to then tender commissions to the successful candidates, they in turn to immediately begin the training of the National Army, contingents of which were first drawn in September, 1917. Of the applicants for entrance to this camp, all of those who obtained appointments were in barracks at the post on May 15, 1917, and the huge program commenced. Fourteen provisional companies, twelve of which were quartered in the old stone barracks, and two of which had for their quar- ters America's first frame cantonments, comprised the 3000 aspirants upon their studies and drills. Every company was commanded by a captain or lieu- tenant from the regulars, assisted by a few scattered reserve ofiicers, but mainly aided by recruiting sergeants and other rough-shod material from the ranks. The old regular army soldier, the national guardsman, the farmer, the high school cadet, the finished college chap, the railroad manager, the lawyer and the banker-all found themselves humiliated, degraded and in deep despair right at the start Democracy was their ideal, the army recognized no distinction between the capitalist and the hodecarrierg they were all on a parg cigarette stubs, matches, trash had to be picked up and disposed of, so at the Reveille formation C5115 A.M.J the first morning of the camp, every type of man was doing something in the way of cleaning up that he hated to have the homefolks find out about through O.P.H.'s communications, all under the complete control of some old sergeant, who had become a hardened military scoundrel with no heart whatever, through years and years of service. f'Button up them coats-youse civilians who ain't got a uniform yet-- 'member that now-if yer wearin' civilian clothes keep 'em buttoned up-- you're in the army now. Such was the mandate from the non-com, followed by such remarks as, 'KNOW git up in them galleries and make them bunks up like I told you to, fix them blankets like soldiers, get some brooms and sweep out them squadrooms, and then fall in out here in five minutes and l'll have sumpin else for yezf' That was when the banker, collegiate and others all jumped in and learned how a Pullman porter made beds, swept floors, cleaned window-sills, etc., that done in a few seconds, and yet with no warm, clean breakfast, served on a silver tray by the lily hands of a loving wife, and her pleasant smilefall that was gone foreverg the rattle of misit army shoes down the iron steps of the galleries, and the embryo officers were formed for further instruction. This half of the left pick up all the trash here on the left in front, clean around to the back and sweep it up: this on the right, the same on the right side, now git busy and show a little pep, constituted the next order from our sergeant. The mess wasn't so bad. There were times when the mess sergeant was considered as making a haul on the price charged, but all in all it was very good. It might be well to mention that our first night there was a blankg canned hash, stale bread, and tobacco juice for coffee, some silverware, too, what there was of it-the knife on one table made the rounds something like twelve times before the meal was finished. During the first month we learned how to Hright, face, squads right, tithe belly plunge on rocks and rills at the command 'AAs skirmishers march Lie down. Too, we learned how to carry a house, lot, cook- stove and bed on a seventeen or twenty-mile hike without a whimper. Would wa irc-'di ilu National Army that way when we ffot hold of them?

At the outset, may we not, with propriety, inquire into the nature of that peculiar entity which forms the basis of discipline in our entire armed force? What is it that causes the dutiful soldier to execute his duties in a willing and obedient manner? What is it that compels the trivial offender to lessen the number of his offences, and finally to elevate himself into the finished fighter? What is it that lessens the pro rata of wilful military criminals? What is it that binds the civilian visitor on military premises, to a due respect for the military establishment? I answer, the army court-martial system. VVill any man conscientiously say that one army can conquer another army, without discipline? Will any man rise and say that without an or- ganization of obedient and highly trained soldiers, a victory can be won? Discipline does not, as some soldiers and most laymen think, consist in the harsh application of elastic punishments. On the contrary, discipline amounts to the substitution of the will of a commander for that own will, and a desire to do that which the commander may designate, without question as to his authority. It has been well said that the soldier lives to HDo or die, the true soldier is Willing to Hdo and die! Without entering too much into detail, let me illustrate, in a measure, the routine through which a recruit travels, from his first experiences, into that of the finished soldier. Omitting that part concerning primary drills, ceremonies, parades, the military salute, and other elementary matters, the recruit is instructed in regular order, in the Articles of War and Army Regulations. These are read and explained to him, so that he might come to realize, not the harshnesse not the fancied autocracy-not the Prussian philosophical fearfof authority, but a respect for the authority vested in the military establishment by the Articles of War, enacted by Congress, and most recently revised in 1916. To the civilian it would seem far-reaching, to substitute for one's rights, the lack of any rights whatever. For the ordinary layman to have to obey the lawful orders of anyone who saw fit to publish such orders, would be a dis grace to Democracy. But is it? No. The recruit comes to realize that his duty to his loved ones, his duty to his Nation and his Flag, cannot be wholly discharged with appropriate honor, unless he is a true and Willing soldier, not only willing to say he would die for that Flag, but in reality willing to perish in frustrating the possible attempts of an enemy to insult that Flag. These Articles of War are intelligible to the most humble person, and there is no time when an oflicer will not make the effort necessary to elaborate upon them, that the recruit might not lull himself into a false sense of secu- rity, through a fancied ambiguity. Stepping into his place in the rank and file of matriculated warriors, the recruit is well armed with a knowledge of that which is expected of him. The layman might consider it a narrow path, and Without by-paths. But one must not forget that the soldier's life is not one of Period dining-room furniture, over-stuffed Divans, or rations of planked steaks g nor is it a mercenary exist- ence. He is willing to perfect himself in his profession, willing to quarter himself in a pup-tent, to take his turn as kitchen police, stable police, or any- 184- thiug that might regularly be designated as his dutyg and, finally, he is willing lo l'e:u'Ii-ssly face any enemy, without regard to his own personal safety Cthat is thu lot of zu cowardl, and is only too proud to match his unceasing courage iurniiisi that of any adversary. His liberties are not so few. He has his hours of duty published by his coiiiiiiaiidcr. When that is accomplished, he is given every privilege consistent with military regulations. Illustrative of this, I was for some months stationed at Ft. Sain Houston, Texas, and at Camp Travis, which is adjunct of that Post. Il was there that the Ninetieth Division was trained. More than fifty thousand civilians were transformed into soldiers at Camp Travis alone, from October of one year until February of the next. This number did not include a possible twenty-five thousand aviators and their non-fiying sub- sidiaries, at Kelly Fields Nos. 1 and 2. Close by was the city of San Antonio. This city. upon our declaration of war upon Germany, was infested with double its pro rata of vices, which, had they been permitted to operate unmolested by military authority, would have undermined in only a few days time, the entire morale of those prospective conquerors. It is without the province of this article to chronologically diagram the hundreds of steps taken to eliminate the claws and clutches of crime that then lay dormant ready to prey upon the Nation's man-power. But, in passing, it is not amiss to commend the results obtained by the Commanding General of the Southern Depart- ment during the winter of 1917 and spring of 1918. All of these soldiers had liberal pass privileges, married enlisted men were permitted to remain in town two nights of every week. About twenty-five percent of the soldiers there stationed obtained passes every night, i e, not more than that percentage was permitted to be 'absent on any one night. They found considerable entertainment and change of environment in the higher class hotels, and other respectable places. The War Camp Community Service, and other organizations, as well as some of the wealthier individuals, gave numerous parties and dances for those men. Now, that was more or less true, generally taken, at the other nineteen stations at which I served in the United States. Who can say, then that the soldier who really worked and perfected himself in his profession, and who did or did not get overseas and prove his worth, but who did, while situated as I have illustrated, procure a pass privilege before leaving camp, and who stayed within the limits of such privilege, but who returned before his privileges had expired, who can say that this man, or these men, f-for there are millions of them,-were mistreated or abused while in the military establishment? Why were these men-these dutiful soldiers-- so exemplary in their conduct? They knew and appreciated the value of living up to military regulations, and did live up to them. Is there a layman who will mount the soap-box and cry, HI am a better man than the returned soldier'?l' Is there a returned soldier, even if he experienced some minor punishment during his service, who will say that he has not a more perfect spirit of altruism than he could possibly have had without military training, and who will not add that he has profited vastly through such training? I think not. These men are the ones who respected military authority. From whom comes the cry, Down with the military injudicial system. From the I. W. W., the Holsheviki, the unconscientious objector, and the in- oxperieiiccfl critic. Therein lies the foundation of the complaints of which we hear so much through the columns of anarchistic newspapers. True, it may be that a small, infintesimal proportion of confined soldiers, are wrongfully confined. Hut, even the periodicals cherishing the wailing howls of Iiolshcvisin only recently printed the headline, 8,000 Court-Martial Seiilr-lifes to he Reviewed by Washington. I assert that our system of niilitary courts administered ,justice without partiality in more cases that came lnelori' ii, during the recent war, than could have been handled within a period of lPlI l11liIil.t't'I1 years through our civil court system, and that the military body siiwiwli-il most rc-inarlfahly and most commendably in erring not to the extent neg.. of a hundredth part of the errors that would have been committed, of necessity, in the intricate civil system, had it been necessary to resort to the latter system. Those who are wrongfully confined, will be released. If there has been an error in confining them, or if some sentences are inconsistent, I assert that the military judicial system is not the cause of that wrongful confinement, those who assail our court-martial system cannot devise a substitute system which could, in so short a time, administer justice to one hundredth part of the cases so tried, without making a multitude of errors, where the present system made but few. If such critics have faith in their professed infallibility, the military system is undoubtedly ready to negotiate a change, whenever the critics improvise a better system. Nearly three millions of our boys and young men took up arms to meet the enemy, half that number were either in the line, or ready for ity the other would have exchanged places with the front line, man for man, with exuberant anxiety, only a small proportion of those men were ever tried by a general court-martial, undoubtedly half of those tried were vindicated, of those sentenced, less than one-tenth of one per cent were entirely innocent of any charge whatever, approximately five percent of the sentences may be inconsistent. I say to the clamoring critic that he would do his country a service if he would go to Washington and assist in the review of those eight thousand trials g the Government is asking for law-trained men, preferably those qualified in court-martial matters, in an earnest endeavor to right any wrong which might have been committed. The military courts contained the power of a 'fspeedy and public trial, as well as an impartial trial. The discharge of that duty, as it was done, is certainly most laudable. The military disciplinary code was the silent guardian and voice of conscience to the true American hero-the undaunted conqueror- the soldier who never knew and who never will know what it is to be conquered! Military discipline, next to the grace of God, held fast our organizations against the enemy. Without it an army is a mob. A few police on a public thorough- fare can handle hundreds of unruly people. Why? Organization. A given signal from a leader, all understand, and compliance means victory. That is the mainstay of our Army. The disorganized mob without a leader, is at the mercy of an organization one-tenth its size. Why could one manfMarshal Foch-the hero of civilization-why could he handle the entire Allied Com- mand from his observation post, on a hill-top hundreds of miles distant from either flank? Disciplinefa willingness on the part of his subjects to sub- stitute his will for theirs and obey. Can anyone question the victory thus attained? I think not. And if discipline constituted such an all-important part of that victory, and if discipline emanates from the Articles of War, enforced by military courts -are those military courts to be assailed as Ninjudicious and incompetent, and harsh, and unseeming? No. They are judicious. They are competent. They are just-not harsh. THOMAS C.

War conditions in the past few years have not been at all conducive to the welfare of college fraternities, and throughout the country many chapters have closed their houses and have as yet failed to re-open. Benton Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta was closed for only a couple of months, and now, instead of experiencing the struggle which many fraternities are meeting with in re-organizing, the local chapter of Phi Alpha Delta is a thriving organization with a complete legal library, and commodious and comfortable rooms in the Ridge Building. Quite a tribute is due the Kansas City School of Law for supporting such an excellent chapter, for there are indeed, few chapters of legal fraternities in the Universities of America which equal the local law school's chapter, and we are sure none that are its superior. Nor is the unusual success of Benton Chapter during War times due to any failure of the local chapter to give its share of men to the service of our country, for at the time the rooms were closed, which was in September, 1918, all save the brothers who were married had joined the army or the navy, but Benton was fortunate in having her men return early from their military duties, and it must be indeed said that they were very resourceful in the organization of the post-bellum chapter. It is with heartfelt pain, however, that it must be that all is not roses in the new life of Phi Alpha Delta, for recently three well beloved brothers have passed away, and the memory of Brother William P. Borland, William T. Law, and Roswell Sayre, loyal brothers and patriots who have given their lives in the service of their country, will always be cherished by their surviving brothers of Phi Alpha Delta, and indeed, by all who enjoyed the privilege of the friendship and association. All of Kansas City's P.A.D's. have not ref turned from the national service yet, but they are arriving with regularity now, and an organization of even greater strength than heretofore is antici- pated.

The 1 .Tig in iecognmng . y . g in you g a ye A ' Seniors, however, decided to practice upon each other and to this end instituted a Moot Court. With political sagacity beyond his years, President Killian appointed Mandel and Noakes a coalition committee, to work up the cases, map out the procedure, and appoint the court retinue. With promptness born of en- thusiasm, the report came back that our eminent jurist should be Judge Fields. Owing to the informal nature of our proceedings, no clerk, stenographer, nor bailiff was deemed necessaryfand thereon hangs a tale. Case No. 1 was promptly filed. Lynn Ketchersid sued one Estes f'or damages for breach of contract to deliver about three hundred Ford automo- hiles at the price of five hundred dollars each, plaintiff being compelled to pay six hundred dollars for Ford cars in the open market. Plaintiff Ketchersid very wisely retained Miss Campbell to represent him, while defendant Estes consulted Attorney Gaskell. Each side was limited to one witness. A jury was waived and, after opening remarks by counsel, the plaintiff proceeded to put on his case. The written contract was introduced and, of course, the defendant immediately objected to any evidence under the con- tract, for the reason that the word Kabout' rendered the contract uncertain, and that oral evidence should not be permitted to explain or modify the con- tract. After much altercation, verbiage, citation, and argument by counsel, and Judge Fields reversing himself, the written contract was allowed to be proved. Plaintiff duly testified concerning the contract, the breach, and his measure of damages. Plaintiffs witness substantiated plaintifffs testimony in every respect and after cross examination by defendant's attorney, plain- tiff rested his case and settled back with a victorious air to hear defendant's case. With a complacent air, Attorney Gaskell arose and demurred to plain- tiff's case on the grounds that no demand on plaintiffs part, and arefusal by defendant to perform, was established by the evidence, nor the fact that the plaintiff was at all times ready, willing and able to perform his part of the contract. This precipitated a free-for-all debate, the members of the audience taking part, with the result that Judge Fields announced his willingness to overrule the demurrer if defendant wanted the practice of putting on his evidence. The defendant, however, plead an engagement and fied from the court room, followed by court and audience. liut the plaintiff was not downed yet. Sometime during the confusion of the debate, plaintiff asked permission for a voluntary non-suit and was overruled. And here is the tale: The question involved was: Did, or did not, the plaintiff ask his non-suit before the judge definitely sustained the demurrer. lf he did, it is not discretionary, but mandatory upon the judge to allow the non-suit and he should have, as a matter of practice, before sus- taining tlie demurrer, offered the opportunity to plaintiff to avail himself of a non-suit. Relying on the fair-mindedness of the judge, plaintiff filed a motion asking the court to set aside his ruling and pointed out the mandate in the statutes. liul, alas! with judicial keenness, the judge saw his loophole of escape and as no ref-ord was in existence to dispute him, held the facts, in the face of vehe- ment opposition from plaintifl s counsel and the audience, to have been that ilu- dr-murrer was hnally sustained before plaintiff could make his request YN ,. for a non-suit heard over the babble which had prevailed in the court room, and with fitting judicial arrogance, plaintiff's motion was overruled and an effort made to fine plaintiff's attorney for contempt of court for having re- marked out of court that the judge's dome was sparcely covered twith hairi. No appeal procedure had been provided, and plaintiff was compelled to abide by the decision of the Honorable Circuit Court. The second case was tried by attorney James for plaintiff and attorney Parson for defendant. It was a tort action for damages for personal injury. This case was demurred out of court for the reason that damages had not been established. Two defects were found in the system established, First, student judges lack experience enough to make the proceedings sufficiently instructive, and, second, the number of witnesses should not be limited. As the docket now stands there are several cases awaiting trial. A member of the faculty is going to be invited to act as judge, and each side may use as many witnesses aslnegessary. Under these circumstances really instructive practice will he gaine . DR. POWELL VISITS LAW SCHOOL Dr. Lyman P. Powell, formerly president of Hobart College at Geneva, N. Y., and later engaged in educational work among the American soldiers, visited the Law School on the evening of November 20th, and painted a verbal picture of the wanton destruction by the German Army in Belgium and France. Dr. Powell emphasized the untruth of the statements of the Germans that French guns had destroyed the villages, citing instances of his own observation of house after house blown up from the inside. Dr. Powell is a brother of Elmer N. Powell, our Treasurer. PRESIDENT O. H. DEAN INVITES SENIORS TO LECTURE The Seniors were invited one night this winter to a lecture by Prof. Charles Upson Clark, at the home of Hon. O. H. Dean, and to share the hospitality of our president. Professor Clark paid high tribute to the part of Italy in the war before proceeding to lecture on Italy's method of preserving her art treasures. The lecture, accompanied by pictures, proved unusually interesting to the law students. The Seniors here recommend to the Freshmen and Juniors Mr. Dean as a host. 1 E ll., Q,-.1 i s 6 rr?

The object of the 'Women Lawyers' Association is the advancement of women members of the legal profession, the promotion of a fraternal spirit among women lawyers and the improvement of the standard of ethics in the legal profession. Mem- bers formerly practicing in this country and now in Turkey, Africa, and Mexico, continue their membership. Every two months the association publishes a journal primarily devoted to the legal interests of women called HThe Women Lawyers' Journal. Con- tributions are received from Women in every section of the country concerning any peculiar features of the laws in that locality of interest to women. Notes of interest concerning the members of the Association are printed and the members are thereby able to keep in touch with each other. The woman lawyer's financial success is conceded but, with some excep- tions, it is not acknowledged that she has achieved distinction equal to that of many men. This is, to a great extent, because there are so few women in law compared to the great number of men. Hut many women lawyers have taken high positions. Among those who are members of this Association are: Judge Reah M. Whitehead of Seattle, Washington, who has charge of criminal cases against women, as well as a civil jurisdiction in cases involving a small amount. Mrs. O. G. C. Beals has a similar position. Miss Mary Bartelme, who for some years was Assistant Judge of the Juvenile Court in Chicago, is now Assistant Attorney-General of Illinois. Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCullock, formerly a Justice of the Peace in Evanston, Illinois, is now Master of Chancery. Miss Nellie Carlin, formerly public guardian of Cook County, lllinois, has been made Assistant States Attorney and assigned to the Court of Do- ,W mestic Relations. Mrs. Mary Belle Spencer of Chicago siiccewls Miss Carlin as public guardian. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey was the founder and first dean oi' Washington College of Law, but retired a few years ago. Miss Emma Gillett is the present dean. Miss Kathryn Sellers is the Judge of the Juvenile Court in Washington, D. C. The first woman judge of Canada, Mrs. H. R. Jamison oi' Calgary, is in the department of the Juvenile Court. ln New York, many changes have come since suflrage was given to women. Mrs. Mary M. Lilly, formerly editor of the Women Lawyers' Journal is a member of the New York Legislature. Miss Sarah Stephenson, ex-president of the Women Lawyers' Association is Borough Secretary in Brooklyn, Mrs. Anna Moscowitz has been appointed assistant corporation counsel of New York County and Miss Helen P, Mc- Cormich is deputy Assistant District Attorney for King's County, New York. Many other Women lawyers are holding high positions and hundreds are engaged in regular or special practice. There are State Bar Associations in Massachusetts, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, D. C., Illinois and Texas, also in Chicago and in Brooklyn, N. Y. ALICE PARKER HUTCHINS Editor of Women Lawyers' Journal. INNS or Coom- -087 A 3lIrPaln11an'a Him nf the Emu AM going to give a Freshman's view before he actually begins the study of law, and his View after he has had an opportunity to study 1-ii is it, directed by men most of whom have had years of experience in the law. Of course, there will be exceptions, especially in a school like ours, where men and women go who have not been at a school for several years, and have had more experience along the different business lines. I am referring mostly to the boy or girl who has just finished high school and has chosen the law as his or her life work. We, Freshmen, didn't care about going through a quantity of red tape before we began the study of law. We wanted what we considered practical law. We were looking forward to a time when we would be admitted to the Bar, and have it EASY the rest of our days. Work was not meant for us, we wanted to learn a trade where we could be our own boss. We could picture ourselves sitting in an easy chair at our office listening to a pitiful tale of our client, and in a few days present a nice bill to the said client. It is under these circumstances, Ladies and Gentlemen, I say a majority of the high school graduates, and perhaps a good many more who have not been at a school for several years, take up the law. How often do you hear the student say: 'KI don't intend to have an office of my own and practice law, I am merely taking it in connection with my tradefl H As I said before, we, Freshmen, wanted what we considered practical law, so where do you think they started us? HBLACKSTONES COM- lX'IENTARIES. Can you imagine how we felt? Yes, we thought we were doomed to go through a lot of red tape, but it was during the study of the Com- mentaries that we learned what law really is. We learned that law is not a trade but a profession, and success in it depends in more than money getting. It is like a tree with hundreds of branches, each branch representing a different phase of the law, and the trunk of the tree from which all of the branches spring is nothing but good common sense. We didn't stop to consider the duty a lawyer owes to himself, his client, and last, but not least, to his nation. We didn't realize that we were learning a profession through which we would have a greater opportunity to help the oppressed and put down the scoundrels than in any other profession in the world. Now, after we have learned that we are not learning a trade in order to accumulate a large sum of money, but we are learning a profession which we can study the remainder of our days and never master, are we disappointed? No. We are more interested in the study of law than ever before, because we know it is the Lawyer who protects our liberties. We know the boys fought and won this war, but who is determining the future? In conclusion, Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to say that the great lesson which we have learned that will help us more than anything else in the future is: It isn't always the lawyer who accumulates a large sum of money that makes a success in life, but it is that lawyer with malice toward none, with -101- charity for all, with firmness in the right as Gorl gives him to we the right with clear brain and brave heart, with high and noble purpose, with lalmr that feels no weariness, with courage that has no fultering, giumls his country's liberty and his client's Cause as he does his own just name.

There .has been a. great and continual progress in extending the opportunities and activities of Women. With the great measure 3 of freedom given by the present century, has come the greater obliga- tion of women. The legally-learned woman, however, did not wait for the advent of the Twentieth Century. Many years before Christ, Deborah, a woman of wisdom, learning and fearless spirit, was chosen one of the thirteen Judges of Israel. Thus early did the Jews recognize wo1nan's ability. In Bologna, early in the Sixteenth Century, a woman was made Doctor of Laws and lectured publicly on the Institutes of Justinia. Under the Roman system, at one time, women were allowed to plead. The story runs, that the Lady Caffrinia plead her case without due respect to the court, lost her case and her temper, and gave the judgesapiece of her mind. For this offense the right to plead was taken from all women. Was it Shakespeare or Bacon, the great Chief Justice, who drew the character of Portia? She had wit, wisdom and decision of purpose, and by her knowledge and appreciation of the law and its technicalities outwitted the shrewdest man in Venice. In Colonial times, Lord Baltimore, then Governor of Maryland, requested the legislature to appoint Mary Brent as executrix of her relative's estate. One of the learned members remarked, It would be better that the estate be lost than have a woman to act. Soon after the Civil War, the Dean of the University of Pennsylvania threatened to resign if women were allowed in the law school. Belva Lockwood, an able lawyer of Washington, D. C., was the author of the bill, which is now a law, providing that a woman of good moral character and otherwise qualified, may be admitted to the barof the United States Supreme Court. President Hayes signed the bill in 1879, and Belva Lock- wood was the first woman admitted and appeared oftener than any other before the Supreme Court. She had the most important case ever won by a woman lawyer, securing a judgment for a large sum for the Cherokee Indians. Mrs. Marilla Ricker made a specialty of Criminal Law. She was a woman of recognized ability, and championed the cause of the working women and children. When she visited England, she carried a letter of introduction from Justice Chase to the Chief Justice of England. California sent Mrs. Clara Foltz as a delegate to the National Bar Asso- ciation meeting at the World's Fair in Chicago. Mrs. Fannie Fern Andrews is probably the best equipped woman in the United States on International Law. In San Francisco, Mrs. Annette Adams, after serving as the assistant was appointed United States District Attorney. Today Utah has four women in the State Legislature, and Colorado has three. Miss Jeannette Rankin was a member of Congress from Montana. Dr. Anna Shaw, the brilliant lecturer and sufiragist, is the Dean of the Woman's Law School in Washington. The Women lawyers have their own Law Journal and clubs'-The Portia Law Club being the first, It is less than one hundred years since women were allowed the highest educational opportunities. They were reluctantly ad- mitted to the medical schools, and have proved their fitness for this work. The profession of law has been almost wholly controlled by men and today neither Yale, Harvard nor Cornell will admit women, Harvard giving as its reason that they would be obliged to use the same library as the men--this reason maybe more profound than it sounds. The University of Leipsic admitted women several years ago. -1033 With infinite patience and determination, women have shown their fitness and capacity for the law. They practicein France, Norway, Holland, Switz- erland, New Zealand and several other countries, but it is in the United States that they are most firmly established, and we have women lawyers serving as judges, justices, legislators and district attorneys. In 1915 fifty-seven women had been admitted to practice at the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. We all agree that woman's place is pre-eminently the home. Through all the changes of nations, states and municipalities, she has preserved and kept the home, yet the census of 1910 gives eight million women in gainful occupations. It is not given to every woman to have a home and family. The Federal Employment Service today gives approximately eleven million women in the United States dependent on their earnings. These women are directly and intensely interested in all laws relating to industry and working conditions, including hours of labor, inspection laws, wages and health insur- ance, the homemakers and mothers have their greatest interest in laws re- garding children, health, education and the protection of the weak. These all lie within the lines of woman's interests and duties, and what more just and more natural than Women lawyers to promote these interests and help frame, interpret and administer the laws on these subjects? Gross inequalities in law regarding women are being eliminated gradually, and the Married Woman's Acts have given more freedom and justice than ever before. The men of Missouri have made our laws, and while better than in many states, they still leave something to be desired. Menis and women's minds are not in confiict, the one completes the other. Men, with their larger experience in the world of business and its interests, need the viewpoint, wisdom and mother-thought of the women. All Missouri is interested in the passage of the Children's Code, but if women had helped frame the laws, the children would long ago have had better laws for their protection. Under our statutes the stealing of a chicken may be a felony, but a man's desertion of his wife and his children is only a misdemeanor, for which the offender cannot be extradited. Woman's wisdom did not help frame that law. The men alone have the honor of its authorship. The woman has the responsibility and burden of the illegitimate child, the father being free from care, except what a guilty conscience may give. In awarding the custody of the children in case of a divorce, the father is favored by law--again man's lawvmaking without woman's voice. Many changes in the laws of the last fifty years are largely due to women's indirect influence. The most notable change is in the laws concerning liquor. For many long, dreary years the women continued their steady unremitting fight against the liquor trafiicfand today our nation stands for prohibition. The discussion and propaganda work of Women have contributed largely in promoting and securing Juvenile courts, penal reform and better working conditions for women. A few women in Kansas City, led by Mrs. Henry N. Ess, started the campaign for reform in our State Penitentiary, and much has been accomplished there. At present all women in the United States are interested in the Rankin- Robinson bill, To encourage instruction in the hygiene of maternity and infancy, and to extend proper care for maternity and infancy, especially in the rural districts. Women today want more than the indirect infiuencefit takes so long to accomplish things that way. They ask that their opinion and influence in regard to all questions may be expressed by the direct method of the ballot. MASIE JONES RAGAN. fun- Q lv-. X - 1- 9 x fxf 91?

Nor will our war problems end soon. For the next fifty years, the wisest heads in our 0Wn land and of all the nations will be put to it to solve the tangles of the world. It will be a time of uncertainty in which each one of us must give the best we have towards the support of our country. It is our privilege, as students, to study the problems that confront the people of today in a broader and more illuminating way than any other single class of men or women. In solving our problems we should stand togetherg be fearlessg be resolved to follow the right wherever it may leadg and to uphold the rights of the people as a whole. In all the professions there is not anywhere the opportunity of rendering so great a service and to so many people as in the law. We are destined to lead the nation either to success and greater knowl- edge, or into disaster and dark days of trouble. We have in our hands not only the shaping of our own lives and policies as individuals 5 but the policies of the nation, for are we not those who in the future will fill the judicial tribunals, the law-making bodies, and the executive positions of our government? And, as such, shall we not have the destiny of our nation and its people in our hands? We shall beyond all doubt, and now is the time to look into our own lives and see if we are fit to assume the responsibilities and carry them through courage- ously to a successful conclusion. Can we meet the issues squarely and will our conscience and our ideals be high enough for that leadership? In order that we shall be fit, we must prepare ourselves for our duties as leaders of men and women. Our duty is not simply to make money or handle large business. It is our duty to shape the law of our land g to right existing wrongs and to do what we can to prevent othersg to help those who are needing help, to hold ourselves above petty politics 5 and to stand for the big things in life. We must awake to our responsibility and prepare for our duty. We must cultivate our con- science and our ideals. As lawyers, we must stand for right and honor and help others to see the right. We must make justice the fundamental law of our country and build well for the future. With these as the basis of our life work We cannot fail.

DEAN .,,'.si,rl'l' WAS Emerson who said, HThose only who build on ideals build for the centuries. Every student of history and human pro- gress must declare the truth of that statement. 55 f Our great Republic is based upon an ideal which was the dream and aspiration of centuries, an ideal which was derided through those cen- turies and denied by those who had seized the political power of the world, and assumed that they held that power by Divine Right. That ideal, now so simply stated and so universally accepted, Hrst germi- nated and took root in the forests of the Western world. It was planted and trained by men who came here to recover and exercise what they believed in their minds and hearts inherently to belonged to every living man-individual liberty and religious freedom. They believed that to every free man belonged the unhindred right to use his brain and brawn as best he may, that they are his and the results of their use are his, that these are his moral and political rights, and that it followed that upon him rested the moral and social obliga- tion to worthily use the strength and ability with which the God of Nature had endowed him. This was their creed, this creed has made us great and this creed has been rapidly extended throughout the world among all peoples capable of self-government. There were hints, arguments and suggestions in favor of this proposition in Rousseau and Fenelon, Locke and Hobbs, but they were generally proclaimed to be only the hints of attic philosophers and dreamers. How plain all this is today! But how servile had the human mind become to the pretentions of those who had taken unto themselves political power and the control generally of the conduct, lives, opinions and fortunes of their fellowmen. For many years as men became freer, and it became more obvious that the scourge of war had its principal foundations in dynastic and commercial ambitions of the most selfish character, the argument was again made that it could be avoided, or at least greatly reduced, by the united action of the free peoples of the world. Many were the efforts made and plans suggested in the latter part of the Sixteenth Century, when Henry IV of France and his great Minister, Sully, proposed a plan for a European Confederation, a Christian Republic. About the same time Hugo Grotius wrote his great work on the law of War and Peace. This Dutch jurist undertook to lay down the fundamental prin- ciples for fair international dealings, and his work was been a great authority on international law from that day to this, but those principles lacked sanction, or a force to compel their recognition. ln 1692, William Penn published his 'tEssay Towards the Present and Future Peace of Europe. He started with the statement that wars originated usually from an ambition to keep, to recover, or to add something to the power of the nation or nations starting them and that, therefore, they were really wars which were based on the ground of defense, retaliation or aggrandize- nient. He argued then in his proposal for a HEuropean Dyet or Hlmperial Parliment for Europe, in anticipation of the claim that the several nations that might be represented in such Parliment, would lose their sovereignty, that inasmuch as their sovereignty at home would be the same as it was before, and that inasmuch as they then had no sovereignty over each other, none in consequence could be lost. He expressed the hope that the inaugura- tion of a league ol' peace might come from England, declaring that wars were the duels of princes. --107 -- From Switzerland came the Swiss jurist, Vattel, who, in the middle of the Eighteenth Century, wrote his work on the Law of Nations or Principles of Natural Law Applied to the Conduct of National Affairs. Immanuel Kant, that Scottish-German philosopher in the latter part of the Eighteenth Century, proposed an International I'nion of States. He argued that the liberty of the individual is restricted within the comity of society and the liberty of the state in like manner must be restricted in a comity of states. Jeremy Bentham, in the early part of the Nineteenth Century, proposed a plan for universal and perpetual peace. Mazzini in the early part of the Nineteenth Century also argued for a unity of free peoples of Europe as well as of Italy. The names of several others, especially Emeric Cruce, a Catholic priest of Paris, who dreamed far beyond his times in favor of the establishment of peace and liberty of commerce throughout the world. We next hear of the 'fHoly Allianceu of 1815 between Russia, Prussia and Austria. It necessarily failed, notwithstanding its lofty appeals to the Christian faith, because it attempted to place and perpetuate the authority of kings and emperors, who were then practically absolute, upon the misapplied priestly rules of justice and Christian charity and peace. We have also witnessed the combination of different nations to preserve the balance of power, a combination which grew out of the ambitions, jealousies and fears of these contending associations. They rested upon no safe founda- tion, and behind them were the intrigues, schemes, selfish ambitions and secret treaties of the different nations of Europe composing them. The smaller nations had no security for their existence. The larger nations were constantly seeking to build up their respective powers over land and sea at the expense of some other weaker state. The policy of America has been different. As long as the world was largely governed by autocratic rulers, that policy could not become generally pervasive. America has not only stood consistently and insistently for the rights of the individual man, and has established tribunals in our so-called sovereign states for careful inquiry and adjustment of all those rightsg but has also established a supreme tribunal over all the states to which all dis- putes between them must be referred and that tribunal has frequently exer- cised this authority, for illustration, between New York and Connecticut, Virginia and West Virginia, Colorado and Kansas. More than this, America has urged the principle of arbitration, not only in justiciable, but in non-justiciable disputes, where international differences have arisen. The Bering Sea difhculty illustrates a case which was not justiciable but which was finally settled by arbitration and conciliation. With other countries it might have been readily made the cause of war. Many are the cases which we have submitted to arbitration. Among them the most notable are the Geneva Arbitration and the Venezula Arbitra- tion. In 1817, we made a treaty with Great Britian, by which we agreed that our lakes on the North and the boundary line between this country and the British Empire's large possessions should remain unarmed. That treaty has been in force ever since and it was never supposed that we had abdicated our sovereignty by making it. President McKinley, in a message to the Senate, said, The adjustment of difficulties by judicial methods, rather than force of arms, has been the leading feature of our foreign policy throughout our entire national history. Our foremost public men, such as Sumner, Blaine and Sherman, have strongly favored the idea of securing justice between nations by arbitration or concilia- tion rather than by the sacrifice of human lives in war. Within the last few years twenty separate treaties have been entered into by this country, in which there is this provision that HThe high contracting parties agree that all disputes between them of every nature whatsoever,which -IOS- diplonizivy shall fail to adjust, shall be submitted for investigation and report to an international commission. The international commission shall be composed ol' five members to lie appointed as follows: One member shall be chosen from each country by the Government thereofg one member shall be chosen by each Government from some third country, the fifth member shall be chosen by common agreement between the two Governments. Pending the investigation and report of the international commission the high con- tracting parties agree not to increase their military or naval program. Among the nations that entered into such treaties with us were Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, France, Great Britian, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Uruguay. Before that, in 1903, the United States by treaty guaranteed the inde- pendence of Panama. In 1906, we solemnly promised to lend efficient aid for the preservation of the Haitian independence and the maintenance of a Government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty. In 1846, in our treaty with New Granada, it was specified, The United States guarantees, positively and efiicaciously, to New Granada, by the present stipulations, the perfect neutrality of the before-mentioned isthmus, with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea may not be interrupted or embarrassed in any future time in which this treaty existsg and in consequence the United States also guarantees, in the same manner, the rights of sovereignty and property which New Granada has and possesses over said territory. These treaties of the most solemn and far-reaching kind were made through the years 'twith the advice and consent of the Senate, more than two-thirds of the Senators present in each instance concurring therein. We have also established a protectorate over Cuba. . John Hay, our Secretary of State, with the concurrence of all public men, so far as I am advised, and apparently the unanimous consent of our people, was the man who said China should maintain an Open Door to the commerce of the world. In the Boxer Rebellion in China, our troops were sent there with those of France, Germany, England and Japan, to protect the lives and rights of our missionaries. We have a college in Syria, another in Constantinople and schools in Persiag these, each and all, can be and ought to be fully protected by a general treaty. - We are a Nation, and as such possessed with the broadest powers to make treaties with all countries. It is now objected that an all-inclusive treaty which would embody the principles already embodied in many of our separate treaties with foreign nations cannot be made. By what process of reasoning can this conclusion be reached? ' As originally promulgated, the Covenant of Paris was simply tentative and much yet is left to make it complete. Article 14 provides, The Execu- tive Council shall formulate plans for the establishment of a permanent Court of international justice, and this Court shall, when established, be competent to hear and determine any matter which the parties recognized as suitable for submission to it for arbitration under the foregoing articles. In the Preamble of that Covenant it is provided, HIn order . to secure international peace and security by the acceptance of obligations not to resort to war, by the prescription of open, just and honorable relations between nations, by the firm establishment of the understandings of international law as the actual rule of conduct among Governments. That Covenant was unanimously entered into by fourteen nations representing twelve hundred million people. This was after a war in which over seven million lives were lost and debts were created and property lost greater than that represented by the entire wealth of the American Republic extending from ocean to ocean, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, this was after a war that has brought starva- tion, suffering and anguish to millions upon millions of homes. flllflf That Great Covenant, incomplete as it was when first promulgated, ein- bodies in highest degree the hopes and dreams, the loftiest ideals of genera- tions of men. Out of the great coniiict, new nations with new boundaries have come into existence, but with rights which have existed for generations. These new nations are the necessary results of the struggle in which our country participated. We helped bring them into existence. Their safety is necessary to the safety of the world. Is any peace complete which by general agreement does not provide against them being made the prey of unscrupulous nations, rulers or peoples in the futureg and probably in the near future? Shall we, the rnost peaceful and powerful nation in the world, leave the world in sub- stantially the same position it was before this great war began? Elihu Root recently said Order must be restored. The Allied Nations in their Council must determine the lines of reconstruction. Their deter- mination must be enforced. They may make mistakes. Doubtless they will, but there must be decision, and decision must be enforced, Under these conditions the United States cannot quit. It must go on to the performance of its duty. . We have sent food to Belgium, Italy, France, England, and other countries, in vast quantities. We have loaned to England, France, Italy and Russia, and some of the smaller countries of Europe sums amounting to nearly nine billions of dollars. We have sent two million soldiers across the seas to fight against pretentions and claims which if successful would have destroyed the peace of the world and utterly extinguished not only our own commerce and rights by land and sea, but would have extinguished our rights as a free people. g We have demanded in the Preamble of the Covenant that all treaty obliga- tions should be observed, that there should be a firm establishhent of the understandings of international law as the actual rule of conduct among Governments, We are endeavoring to give a binding force to treaty engage- ments. We are endeavoring to provide a method for the establishment of international law and putting a sanction behind each rule. We are endeavor- ing to provide for tribunals of arbitration and conciliation. We are endeavor- ing to give security to the new nations which we have helped to bring into existence. Does not this work appeal to the conscience and intelligence of every American, who has considered what we have done and have attempted to do in the past? It is said that this is an isolated nation, separated from other nations by the Hestranging seas. Are we so isolated in view of what we have done in the past? Shall our commerce, which extends to the remotest corners of the earth, be without protection from any clearly established rules of international law? Must we, when those rules are violated, go to war, instead of having them interpreted by a tribunal contemplated in the Covenant mentioned? Or have them adjusted by arbitration or conciliation as we have done in many instances in the past? We are nearer today to the capitols of Europe than were the inhabitants of Western Missouri but a few years ago to the City of St. Louis. We now talk to every part of the world, every hour in the day and night, under the seas and through the air. Our commerce abroad concerns every farm, every mine, every factory, and all the cattle that range upon our hills or upon our plains. Our food supplies, for purchase or for sale, depend not merely upon the Tropics, but other far-distant countries. We could not be isloated if we wanted to be, and we should not be if we would. We ought to at least try to establish a League which will embrace the hopes, aims and aspirations of many generationsg a League which will be a barrier to the selfish, unjust and unfair ambitions of rulers and peoples, a League which will as far as human intelligence can bring it about, compel fair and just dealings between Nations as We, by our own laws, seek to establish just and fair dealings between men. -Illia Efhv Dlrgal Aapvrt nf AUIEITIHI1 .fab 75 P Hh. late war IS responslble for the raprd development of aerlal nav1ga ,,, Ev: tlon by aeroplanes and d1r1g1bles but lt seems as yet to have pro IQ duced few actual dec1s1ons upon the novel quest1ons of publlc regu lat1on and prlvate rlght whlch w1ll soon be presented for Jud1c1al and leglslatlve solutlon A large body of llterature exlsts 1n Wh1Ch the prln CIDIGQ whlch must govern development of the law on th1S subJect are dlscussed by Jurlsts of authorlty The pr1nc1ples and anologles of the common law 1n the absence of express statute or lnternatlonal regulatlon by treaty must furnlsh the rule of declslon At the first lnstance we are brought to face the anclent legal maxlm so long followed Cujus est solum eJus est usque ad coelum et ad lnferos meanlng whoever owns the so1l owns also to the sky and to the depths The majorlty of declslons on th1s subject have centered around th1s maxlm Literally construed and apphed any passage over another s land at whatever helght IS a trespass and therefore unlawful The contrary VIEW has been taken by varlous Judlclal dec1s1ons both ln th1s country and 1n Contlnental Europe The contrary VIGW 1S founded on the theory that th1s maxlm IS not to be apphed hterally that the owner s rlghts 1n the a1r space above hxs land are appurtenant to the soxl and extend only so far as IS necessary to the enjoy ment of the use of the S011 wlthout lnterference and that therefore a mere passage across h1s land at a sufficlent helght and wlthout other lnterference IS not an actlonable wrong In an artlcle by Slmeon E Baldwln 1n the Amerlcan Journal of Interna tlonal Law he sald Thls maxxm was the productlon of some blackletter lawyer and hke every short def1n1t1on of a complex rlght must be taken w1th l1m1tat1ons It would seem that one of these must be that a proprletor of land cannot be heard to complaln of any use of the a1r above lt by whlch no 1nJury to hlm can result In other words the law w1ll hardly axd hlffl by g1v1ng a remedy 1n court Where there has been and could have been no actual damage Hls rlght lf any IS too tenuous for the state to care to protect by 1ts actlve lnterventlon It IS everywhere agreed however that 1f navlgatlon over another s prcmlses IS conducted so as to constltute a nuxsance or to result 1n actual damage an actlon w1ll he Justlce Baldwln thmks thatalandowner scontrol of the a1r above hls property must be l1m1ted to the excluslon only of that whlch may be a danger to hlm or an 1nJury to hls property In a word he cannot stop the aeroplanes but 1f they should damage hls trees lnconvenlence or slcken hls famlly by the smoke or smell 1mper1l h1S safety or 1nJure hlm he would have cause for actlon and would be able to get redress Covernments are taklng cognlzance of the a1r as a medlum of transporta tlon as shown by development of regulations governxng 1ts use slmllar to tho c apphed to the land and the sea Wlth planes flymg across the contlnents wlth a1r tray el across the ocean an assured fact of the near future and prob D 4- n v . w - . . . .

Individual states in this country have made staggers at such control, but their efforts were of little avail in controlling the acts of machines, which, in the course of a 10-hour flight, may cross a dozen states. So the federal government has made a beginning with a law requiring the licensing of all civilian pilots, forbidding flights at low altitudes over cities, and defining to some extent the air strata in which various types of craft shall fly. Great Britian has gone farther in its air navigation laws. Aviation certi- ficates are issued similar to those for ship commanders. The rank of ofhcers qualified to control planes is specified. Foreign planes are forbidden to fly over British territory except by special permission and the government has complete control over the craft sailing through its skies as it has over the ves- sels navigating its seas. Compulsory registration of every plane and elimina- tion of the private aerodrorne are measures suggested by the air ministry to parliment to prevent smuggling by air. All machines would ascend from government aerodromes and a statement of destination given before the flight is made, following inspection of baggage by a customs official. Thus a Wire- less would be sent to the aerodromes Where the machine intended to land, where if merchandise and passengers did not tally to specifications, action could be taken. The internationalization of air strata over a specified altitude is one ques- tion that is expected to be decided at the peace conference. As to the enforcement of these laws, the perfection of the radiophone has simplified this. As a strange plane approaches a patrol station, its name, business and credentials can be demanded by phone, Failing to give an account of itself, it may expect soon to be challenged more emphatically by patrol planes-the fast scouts of the Warfwhich will force it to land and show its papers. CHET A. KEYES, '19. -ll2- At liariing As the ships that put out on their journeys, Leaving the sheltered port, Sails trimmed and canvas agleaming, The crew gaily singing in sport, Singing with a joyous abandon, Yet praying the goal they may see, Just so you and I, my dear Comrade, Set forth to sail life's checkered sea. We put in to this sheltering harbor, Just a short long three years ago, That we might start out properly fitted For the squalls and the winds that blow, That blow as the fates direct them, A skipper to make or wreck As he sails in unchartered places At life's every nod and beck. We put in to this sheltering harbor, You and I and the rest, Eager to be up and be doing, Endowed with ambition and zest, Anxious to start on life's journey, Our eyes brightly fixed on our goals, Learning, that we might gain knowledge, To beware of the reefs and the shoals. And while we were patiently learning, We learned of each other, too, And our learning ripened to friendship And comradship twixt me and you: A friendship that has been faithful, As it was always tender and true, And when our paths touch on our journeys, May our friendships be strengthened anew. Our crafts, rushing down from the skidways, Are launched on life's turbulent sea, Equipped for the various journeys That beckon to you and to me, May God speed us at our parting, Good luck, and we're on our wayg Pray we reach our goals in safety, And meet There, some time, some day. SAMPSON MANUEL-'19 -1 I3- Ellie Iam' Exmninaiinn gg R N the Spring of '18, while preparing for the State Bar Examination at Jefferson City, I worked late and hard at the City Hall, reviewing past, and acquiring new subjects. j Other members of our school kept the old Scarritt Library and several friendly ' ' offices humming with industry for the same purpose. Fortunately, a pleasant and congenial classmate expressed himself desiring to make like preparation, and feeling certain we would be mutually helpful, I invited him to study with me. Walter was a good friend, appearing at the appointed time with apples, candy or some other nicknack. At school he showered these beiiehts upon the fair sex, where the fellows tried and usually shared in the treat. The great day arrived and I took the train on Saturday. Latshaw, Eisenman, Clark and myself, were detailed to accompany some fellows, bound thitherward for a more or less protracted stay. The other members of the class followed on Sunday. The girls were there, and I am told they had lunch with Judge Pollock and Gillis, and played penny-ante with Austin and Leavy. On the way down, at Sedalia, our friend Eddie Becker was taken off the train and arrested without due process of law, for commission of an error of which the authorities became aware in the nick of time, Judge Pollock, however, gave bond, and Eddie was per- mitted to pursue his journey in good company. Eddie liked the frame-up, anyway. I had reserved a room at the Madison for' Walter, and part of us stayed there, the girls and a bunch went to the Central. Judge Fyke, as it happened, chose that particular Sunday to travel to Jefferson, and had his meals at the Central. His presence added weight to the Kansas City students status. Altho, 'tis said, the faculty objected to the Juniors taking the Bar, but nothing daunted, the doughty Bruner and Stewart took the State Examination, and needed not the sacred bit of paper advising the World of their high school qualifications. That evening we gathered round the Board of Examiners and proceeded to have the curry- comb of impending disaster drawn up and down our spines, until we wondered why we had dared to come. About nine o'clock saw us in our rooms cramming for the coming events. Meantime having taken a walk about town and the capitol grounds, where .Miss Campbell insisted on walking up the old stone walls with a sheer drop of fifty feet on one side and a rolling drop of a hundred feet on the other. She'll die game yet. It was also told me that Austin and Leavy, much to their manly chagrin, enjoyed the hos- pitality of the young ladies, who footed the bill in true Twentieth Century style. Monday, and how we did labor! Oh, Boy! I'll say we had some examination. I had to think, too, believe me. Even Zimmerman and Gillis had to do some guessing. We were the first class of applicants for the bar that ever took the examination in the new capitol building. There in that huge House of Representatives, we sweltered, gazing aloft now and then at the cool gray of the hangings and walls of that vast chamber. We tried the air-ducts and punctu- ated the heavy atmosphere with our attempted regulation of the vents. But, sad to say, the air rushing forth was unusually hot. , One afternoon, when we were through a little earlier, we followed the guide along the corridors and from room to room of the State Huose, learning that every stick of wood and every fibre of textile had been made in Missouri. It was truly interesting. Even the lime- stone, of which the whole building is built, and the marbles used, are Missouri products. In duty bound we journeyed to the lofty dome, where we carved, scratched, inked or leaded our names, dates and addresses on every available surface. Tuesday evening, through the kind heart of Mrs. Huegel of the Central Hotel and the friendship of Judge Pollock and Cleeton, we had our banquet, and dance, altho Mrs. Huegel's ballroom was not completed and we had to use her imported dining-room carpet for a dancing floor. As we stood waiting to be served in came several couples. No room. We gazed upon them and behold! La Hines bore down upon us with Miss Goldman of St. Joe. Nuff' sed- A new table had to be laid. There was Miss Kirby, too, enjoying the edifying conversation of her lateral retainers, Levin and Finnigan. Later, after the gentlemen of the evening had expressed themselves in various moods and tones, a lady was called. Miss Goldman responded, ffllif limped gracefully to the head of the table, ascended the Speaker's chair, and in a child-like manner proceeded to lay out the Kansas City man. Well, do you know the boys are de- bating yet, whether or not Miss Goldman meant all she said! Later we danced. While Miss Byers was going round and round with Hearsh, Miss Campbell was tenderly teaching James' willing little toes the measures of the dance. We also learned Latshaw could and would dance, because I saw him dancing with Miss Campbell with my own eyes. Judge Pollock bewailed the fact Miss Byers did not bring her party dress, but I noticed he danced 'tHome, Sweet Home, with her, just the same. All in all the fellows had some time. Cleeton passed the bar several times, and so did Eddie Becker. A little game was in progress at the Madison most any evening, but J. Lynn Ketchersid managed to escape and carry home to Kansas City twenty whole dollars. I heard this by reason of a little soda-fountain gossip, where the fair confidant had learned the tale of wondrous self-denial. As near as I can remember it was this same Tuesday evening of the Ball, when some two or three of the boys, after the festivities, had demonstrated their good fellowship by buying a t'round, but Walter, After considerable persuasion the bell-boy was called and he asked each to place his order, in his turn he ordered sweet milk, much to the enjoyment of the crowd. The bell-boy politely informed him, on account of the extreme heat, there was an ice-shortage and sweet milk would be hard to get. Walter was game, he ordered a cold one for himself. Later we noticed, however, he had slipped out. Scarcely had we finished our glasses, when in popped the truant with his bottle of sweet milk. He had been successful in his quest and we sincerely hope he may always be so. In our hearts, tho, we may commiserate him, for no fond memories can be have of past delights such as we have enjoyed when July 1st rolls round. Wednesday brought our finals. About the middle of the morning, Governor Gardner entered the hall amid the cheers of the students and delivered a speech on his pet themes. We later took leave of our kindly bar examiners, who really seemed to become attached to us personally, in even so short a time. They assured us of our creditable showing, and bade us watch the papers for their final edict. After lunch, Mandel conducted us to the Penitentiary. We visited the men's department, and were permitted the unusual privilege of visiting the department of the women. We saw Aggie Myers in the kitchen with a huge bread-knife in her head. Not a belligerent-looking woman, but tiny, frail and worn. Emma Goldman looked up with tired, tho bright eyes, from her whirr-ing machine. Another slip of a girl we learned had been imprisoned for taking a purse with a trifling sum. This latter incident led to an argument between Miss Campbell and the wardress, who informed our young lady that she would change her mind upon wider experience. To Miss Campbell the injustice of ruining a girl's life for so small a misdeed was matter for considerable logical debate as to the relative merits of the law and its application to such instances. At 3:30 we were homeward bound. In one corner we perceived Bruner, carefully arrang- ing newspapers to avoid the dirt griming his clothes. When we kidded him, he calmly retorted his mother's labor meant more to him than merely clean, pressed clothes. We lost Leavy at Jefferson. He had taken an eastbound train and was even then slipping farther and farther away from his comrade, Anna Mae. Privately, James confided to someone that he was going to cut Leavy out. I wonder how well he has succeeded? Austin accompanied Miss Campbell all along the homeward journey, napping, chatting and singing at her side. Back in the other end of the car a pocker game was in full swing, but at every station out popped the heads of the lusty gamesters, and every pretty girl along the line came in for passing dates to dinner tonight at the Muehlebachn- come to the pictures with me, Kid. We had come to Sedalia and a mother with three little tykes sat behind Bruner, and the seat just across the aisle was occupied by another woman and a small crippled child. Ere pulling into Kansas City, Bruner had learned the names of the three kiddies, and introduced us to the tiny victim of human monstrosity, Baby Helen Keller, on her way home to Mery Hospital. Her childish whimper, I want that man to bring me a drink, had proved her introduction into our hearts and made us hope for better laws for the protection of such frail mites as she. Hark! U-N-I-O-N S-T-A-T-I-O-N ! ! ! l Oh, how good it did sound! And we parted for the summer. BENHAM P.

LAW OF PULLING DOVVN TROUSERS LEG It is hard to believe that a man who was sober would spend half a minute, or seven seconds, in pulling down one leg of a pair of trousers. But we cannot say as matter nf law that if he was sober he did not do so. What we do say, however, is that when a man has at least the whole highway, including sidewalk devoted to foot passengers alone, to choose from, it is not the art of a prudent man who wants to pull down one leg of his trousers to select a street railway track eight seconds around and away from a corner from which an electric car may emerge at any moment, and to stoop over to pull down his trousers without again looking up until he is run over.-See Jordan vs. Old Colony St. R.

While you are figuring at this I will give you another instance of subtle jurisprudence. If I drew a dagger on you and stabbed you seriously, but you recovered, I was liable to prison from one to three years. If, on the other hand, I drew a dagger on you, but did not touch you, I might be imprisoned anywhere from three to seven years. Yusuf Effendi, a leading lawyer, was much disgusted with my obtuseness when I questioned the equitableness of these penalties. UWhy,l' said he, 'Kit as plain as day. If you go to steal a horse the supposition is you propose to escape on the horsels back, but if you go to steal a sheep, inasmuch as you in the nature of the case cannot ride away on the sheep's back, it is fair to suppose that you come armed and ready to resist. Therefore, if you steal a sheep you are the more guilty, in intent at least, and deserve the greater penalty. And, again, if I draw a dagger on you, and though I wound you seriously, yet you do not die, the result is known-namely, bodily injury. But if I draw a dagger on you, even though I do not touch you, yet I might have killed you, and therefore I also in that case deserve the greater penalty. -John Van Ess, in Asifl. Bye1's: An injunction restraining one from engaging in the same business any place in the United States is invalid. Why? Smith: It takes in too much territory. T00 STRENUOUS FAMILY LIFE The lawyer was sitting at his desk absorbed in the preparation of a brief. So intent was he on his work that he did not hear the door as it pushed gently open, nor see the curly head that was thrust into his office. A little sob attracted his notice, and, turning, he saw a face that was streaked with tears and told plainly that feelings had been hurt. Well, my little man, did you want to see me? Are you a lawyer? Yes. What do you want? I want -and there was a resolute ring in his voice- I want a divorce from my papa and mamma. THE SILENT PARTNER That is Elmer J. Pettifog.
