U. S. Hall of the Hall Coaching
School, spoke to the Democratic wom
en of Columbia yesterday afternoon
in the Commercial Club room. His
subject was the League of Nations.
Mr. Hall discussed the disputed
points of the League. He pointed out
the clause which will prevent the Mon
roe Doctrine from being interfered
with, adding that of the forty-nine
countries eligible to membership in
the League, forty-four had accepted
the United States being one of the
few which has not. He emphasized
the fact that our congress accepted
peace on the fourteen (points and the
League is based on these points.
About eighty persons attended the
lecture. Next Monday afternoon at 3

Tariff," in the Commercial Club
rooms. Every Monday will be Dem

TWELVE INITIATED
Organization Will Give Din
ner Soon and A.E.F. Plays
This Spring.
"I am glad to get Into an organiza
tion that stands for real Americanism
and requires American citizenship of
its members," said Col. W. E. Persons
in talking to the Veterans of Foreign
Wars Saturday night after his initia
tion Into the organization. '
"There are too many men who do
not appreciate their American citizen
ship" he continued. "Since coming to
the University I have met many young
men who have no idea of the true
greatness of their country. This is
my first opportunity .'o affiliate my
self with this organization and I am
indeed glad that I am able to do so."
Colonel Persons, who is command
ant of the R.O.T.C. at the University,
served in the Spanish-American war
and in China during the Boxer up
risings. Eleven other men were taken in at
the same (time. They are: Vance
Mershon, A. Henry Mudd, Benton O.
Gideon, Warren S. Whittle, K. W.
Blomeyer. Paul F. Sifton, Ardra B.
Armstrong, Homer W. Paton, Fred C.
Eastin, Jr., Dean Chenoweth, and Dr.
Dudley S. Conley.
Columbia people will probably have
an opportunity of seeing some real
AJELF. plajs this spring. A commit
tee has been appointed to get copies
of the most successful of these plays,
and members of the post will put
them on in true A.E.F. style, mad
emoiselles, and everything being play
ed by former doughboys. Generals
Vin Blanc, Vin Rouge and Cognac,
however will be impersonated by Pri
vate Grape Juice and Ginger Ale.
Preparations for the dinner that is
to be given soon are being completed
rapidly. AH committees have been
appointed and the 'nature of the af
fair; has been determined. Tickets
will be sold and every man will be ex
pected to do his duty and purchase
two, as each member will be permit
ted to bring a friend.
F. Warner Carling of Kansas City
and commander-in-chief of the Veter
ans of Foreign Wars will be at the
dinner. The time of the dinner will
be arranged so that it will be pos
sible for Col. John Henry Parker, who
is in charge of the recruiting drive in
Missouri and who is also an old mem
ber of the organization, to be present.
The action that the Missouri legis
lature will take on the question of ad
ditional compensation for soldiers
was discussed. Members of the or
ganization were instructed to get in
touch with the other posts in the state
and find out that they were doing in
regard to the question.
Commander Sneed in speaking on
the subject said that the former serv
ice men must be agreed in their re
quests so that the state would not be
confused as to what they really
wanted.
Eleven other states have already
taken action, and the question is com
ing up before the legislatures of a
great many more this winter.
LOCAL TRADITIONS KEPT
BY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Do you enjoy local history? Can
you feel the thrill of some old ro
mance or deep mystery when it Is
connected with a well-known land
mark upon which your eyes are of
ten accustomed to rest?
If you are a native Columbian, can
you pick out the first brick house to be
erected in the city, can you tell what
great man was born there? Then
of' course you know that Academic
Hall was once a federal prison, that
there was an Ashland Church a cen
tury ago as well as today, that Thom
as Miller, the pioneer Columbian,' met
a tragic death and that Missouri had
only one senator once upon a time.
If your grandmother or father has
not told you of these things, there
is only one place where you may look
them up without difficulty and that
is in the Missouri Historical Review,
a magazine published in Columbia
by the State (Historical Society, which
undertakes to publish, according to
the secretary. F. C. Shoemaker, a list
of all historical articles in Missouri
newspapers.
The compilation of this data, so
valuable for local historical research,
was begun by Mr. Shoemaker. In
discussing the probable reasons for
the greater number of historical
sketches of the constructive type
being written in Columbia, Mr. Shoe
maker said, "Columbia is no more
rich in traditions than a dozen other
cities of the state where little or no
contribution is made along this line.
I firmly believe that it can all be
fairly attributed to one man and that
man is Dean Walter Williams. He
'has always been deeply interested
In local history. The many excellent
biographical articles that appeared
in the old Missouri Herald, edited
by him and E- W. Stephens, prove
this fact."
"There Is much practical value,"!
continued Mi-. Shoemaker, "to be
gained through the publication of lo
cal history. With a knowledge of
our own immediate past we can with

"Ideals are the greatest sustaining

ish Students Congregation Sanday

Preservation."
He said that it was a wonder the
Jews have persisted in spite of per
secution. "The persecution which the
