HITS FRAT HOUSE CAROUSALS Chicago Speaker Wante Prayer Meet Inge Inatead of "Petting Pertiee." William llay, YVI., June 19. Ho llgloua revlvala In all colleges and unlvervltle are needed to ralae the moral standarda of studenta, accord ing to A. J. Klllott of Chicago. In (leaking at the International atudetit conference at Oollcge ramp, lake Geneva, under the auaplce of the In ternational committee of the Y, M. C. A.

The festivities began with a light and humorous play put on by the college senior clans. It was followed on Friday night by the first rtndHon of Maw tha. The TabcWiacle' Ta7 crowded, the singers up to par, and every body enjoyed a delightful time. The Commencement sermon, deli vered by President Hutchins, waa a direct appeal to manhood; to char acter; and to the requirement that Jehovah 'makes of every individual soul. His sermon was more person al than general, and contained a les son for each individual graduate. The address of Sunday night was one that will not be forgotten by the youngest student during the full run of hia years. It waa delivered by Col. Raymond Robins of Chicago, who haa had one. of the most inter eating and unique careers of any American citisen. A brief report of hia address will be found in other columns of this issue, Ramond Rob ins is known thruout America as a great friend of the laboring man. He is a sound believer In flnsnres, an unyielding fighter for clean politics, and a believer in the divine leader ship of Jesua Christ. Pomibly no living American knows more about Rusnia and Russian troubles than Mr. Robins. It was surely a rare privilege for the citizens and students of Be rea to hear him. Not once I Nor twice! Nor thrice! But four times. For he became so enthused over Be rea that he stayed from Sunday un til Wednesday, night. Commencement day was ushered in with a bright sun. The hillside of the campus from Elipse street entirely around the tabernacle was crowded with horses, buggies, wagons, and automobiles. It would not be accur ate to estimate the crowd, but the number certainly ran into the thous ands. The Tabernacle was crowded dur ing the morning exercises conducted by the Vocational School, tha Aca demy, and Normal school. Then the unusual thing happened. The entire crowd marched from the tabernacle LONDON MAN DROWNED AT BOON ES BOKO Roy Scoville, of London, was drowned in the bathing beach at Boonesboro about 2:00 o'clock Wed nesday morning last week. No one is thought to know the how and wherefore of his drowning but it is supposed he wss seised with cramps. Two young men from Richmond were also in the river with him who saw him swim down tha river and when ho failed to re', irn gave the alarm. Hia body was uoi found until late Thursday morning about 60 ft. from tha shore in 30 feet of water. ' . J 1 yrZ THOSE RECEIVING THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS. 1922 to the chapel where the concluding exercises of the morning were held. The graduates were seated aa on Baccalaureate Sunday, with the ex ception of four chosen members ot the college graduating class, who sat on the platform and delivered short speeches. After the speeches the main, address clothe UMrnueff Was de-J, delivered by" Rev; Ted rick' Shan non, D.D., Pastor of the Auditorium Church, Chicago, 111. Dr. Shannon is not a stranger to this section as he is a native of Lawrence County, Kentucky. He left his father's fsrro in early manhood to go into the ministry. He went forward and upward, as a mountain boy is eminently able to do when he is fired with a vision of service. After Dr. Shannon's adHreaa the prise Bibles and diplomas were deli - vered by tho President. The crowd adjourned for lunch- eon at one o"clock, an reassembled at 2:.'!0 around the band stand in the open air. There must have been two thousand people who stood in the open sir under the shades of the great oaks from 2:30 until 5:00 and listened to stirring addresses by President Emeritus Wm. G. Frost; Trustees J. A. R. Rogers and Wm. E. Barton; Raymond Robins and Dr. Johnathan C. Day. Berea College and Kentucky were in the saddle at this commencement. Dr. Rogers and Dr. Barton are graduates of Berea and justly call this their school home. Dr. Shannon and Dr. Day, who lives now in New York, are natives of the mountains of Kentucky, and what is news to most people, Raymond Robins is a native of Kentucky. He sold papers during boyhood in tho streets of Louisville, and later dug coal for a living in the mountains of Tennessee and Vir ginia. Never have the cici3?e of Berea and vicinity heard as many com mencement addresses on vital sub jects of world betterment as this year. The heart of the world with its anguixh and its joy, with its sorrow and its gladne&s, also opened up to our neighbors by men of authority and vision. Everyone joins in pro claiming this a glorious Commence ment Season. ' Scoville was a graduate of tho 8ua Bennett Memorial School and had continued his studies for nno year in college. He was also manager for the London Ice Cream Co. for the past two or threi years.

"Uncle Sam's Birthday Party" is the name of it, and it is bssed on community life and appreciation John Green, of Kingston neighbor hood, will act the part of Uncle Sam. -Anybody that - avows -.3-ibn Green and his ready wit knows that that will be a scream. Miss Helen Kersey, of Berea, will represent Com munity. The soldiers of 76, of '61 snd of '18 will be represented by descendants of Revolutionary heroes, G. A.

Berea has never seen a Fourth of July that was the equal of tha one we'll have this year. Just you come and see. CENTRE ELECTS NEW PRESIDBN r The Presidency of Centre College has been offered to tha Rev. Dr. R. Ames Montgomery, who is new presi dent of Parsons College, Fairchild, lows. The election of Dr. Montgom ery was made by a unanimous vote of the trustees present. Parsons College under his leader ship has experienced its greatest growth and Dr. Montgomery is great preacher as well as a great educator. The Kentucky Adocate says: "Dr. Montgomery will find a warm welcome in Danville. He will also find plenty to do as head of Centre College. Be will have tha hearty cooperation of all Danville, Boyla County, and much aid thruout the State." The Hague Conference has opened during the week. It Is noticesble that the personnel is somewhat dif ferent from previous conferences. Many of the older and well known leaders are absent and their place is taken by younger men. The foreign minister of Holland, Kamaheek, is the presiding officer, and the meet ings are held in the Palace of Peace. On the supposition that the news papers of the world were largely re- t sponsible for the bsd reputation of the Genoa Conference, an order was given to exclude all newspaper cor respondents from the plsce of meet ing. The correspondents, however, held together and refused to be set aside. Compromises have been re sorted to thus far. They refused even to vacate the halls of the Palace to make way for a lunch to the del egates and in the end were invited to attend the lunch. The recent .cabinet changes in Ja pan are of great significance. After some delay Admiral Kato has agreed to become prime minister. He ac cepts the position only on condition that the item of military expendi ture in the budget shall be cut down by a considerable sum. It is gener ally believed that the new ministry will be favorable to the decisions agreed upon at the Washington Con ference and hence tho change is a tangible evidence of good faith that is gratifying to all the world. Other Japanese statesmen of the same lib eral type are likely to be members of the cabinet. Already it is rumor ed that the foreign office is being held open for Baron Shidehara. Tha whole effectiveness of the Washing ton Conference and treaties rests on good faith and this makes a good be ginning. It is believed the new cabi net will have the support of the chief parties in both the lower and upper houaa. v . '. ..--.' - - r'-' The elections in Ireland passed off more quietly than was expected. The number voting was not more than half the registered voters. It is thought that the coalition plan was followed out and that the Parliament will have members from the Free State, supporters and also tho Republicans. The vote carried an acceptance of the treaty and of the constitution for the country. This constitution was draft ed by Irish leaders, but approved by the English signers of the Anglo Irish Treaty. It is an up-to-date document and provides for two houses of Parliament. The lower house has large power-of control in money matters. No military service can be required of Ireland except for the defense of the Free State. Mem bers of Parliament must take oath of allegiance to the kine. and tho Treaty is the ultimate authority The Governor General is, like the same officer in Csnada, a nominal execu tive. Speculation is already active in the press regarding the succession to Lenine in Russia. At present the power seems to be in the hands of a triumvirate, but must pass before long to some one of the leaders. It is believed that the diplomatist who figured so prominently at the Genoa Conference, Tchitcherin, stands tha best chance of being made head of the Soviet government Other leaders mentioned are either too radical ly communistic or too Imperislistic to meet with favor. Tchitcherin is a man of good birth and of much ex perience in handling affairs. Whether he will succeed in getting Russia recognized by other countries and in getting a loan to help in reconstruc tion remains to bo seen, j Affairs in China just now are at a critical point. The election of Li Yuan-hung as president seems prom ising. It is reported slso that Wu Ting-fang is favored as prima min ister. He wss st one time the rep resentative of China -in the United States, and is a statesman of ability and progressive ideas. The object in view in all the changes Is to unify north and south China, and unless the effort succeeds, the future is not promising. For soma time there have been two presidenta and a3 kinds of friction between tha sec tions.
