"If the horrible event, which now
seems inevitable, comes, I am willing
to do what I can, and If necessary will
walk in the ranks, altho I am 73 years
old and slightly above the military
age prescribed as a standard," said
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, of Washington,
D. C, in his address at the exercises
in chapel yesterday morning in honor
of Washington's birthday. Dr. Wiley's
subject was "True Patriotism."
There should be no diversity in
opinion in this country at the present
time, he said. Unarmed citizens have
Been ruthlessly killed on the high
seas; foreign nations have prescribed
where our ships shall sail, how they
shall be painted and from what part
of the ship the Stars and Stripes shall
wave. We have believed in peace, we
have been patient, but now we have
come. to the breaking point and. it is
the duty of the people of the United
States to support the President, the
speaker said. Party lines have now
been forgotten, there are no organized
parties but organized patriotism.
'Dr. Wiley defined patriotism as the
love for one's birthplace. No one who
ever forgets the place of his birth,
Ills father and mother and his childhood companions, can ever rise to the
dignity of a true patriot. Love for
one's birthplace is the fundamental
principle of patriotism.
It is not a
matter of area, of wealth or of population, but the incident of birth where
one first saw the light that arouses
our patriotism.
When one looks with disdain upon
Ms birthplace and upon his parents,
Dr. Wiley said that the only prophesy
'he had to make was that that man
w'ould be a failure.
The next step in the development
of patriotism is tho love for one's native State. Then comes the love for
our country. When the final crisis of
our allegiance conies, we must be
able to say that wo owe ourselves to
our country and bo willing to dio in
her defense.
In telling why ho loves his country,
the speaker said It was not because of
her largo bank deposits, her railways,
her great mineral wealth, her oil, her
forests or her farms, altho all these
are of the utmost importance, but because our government embraces the
Immortal principles typified in tho life
of Georgo Washington, and bocauso it
is tho land of liberty and education.
Washington was tho man of tho
hour during tho Revolutionary struggle, ho was tho leading figure ut tho
end of tho war and continues to bo
such. Wo love those things which typify his lifo.

"No man can come faco to face with
Jesus Christ without receiving a challenge," said Walter C. Erdman, of Korea, when he addressed the students
of the University
in chapel Friday
morning. 'Everyone who knows His
doctrine is morally bound to go out
and impart it to others."
The message does not have to be
sent by preachers and missionaries.
It is worth while oven when it comes
from the mouths of professional men
and engineers. He told that it was
thru an engineer that the Christian
faith had obtained such a foothold in
Africa.
The speaker cited four things that
are derived from faith in the Lord.
Only by true faith in Jesus Christ will
you have God. Unless you have a
spiritual dynamo in your soul, your
life will be a failure as far as God is
concerned. Faith in Him gives us
power in our lives. The third gift of
faith is the work which it gives us to
do; "As the Father has sent me into
the world, even so I send you." You
will never escape the opportunity of
bringing Jesus to bear on fellow be
ings. Mr. Erdman said that college
communities are provincial, that our
eyes only take in narrow circles of
things which are immediately inter
esting. Faith in Jesus Christ gives us
a world vision.
Altho man is much sought after in
these days of turmoil and interest in
education invoked by the cries of
war and civilization the call of Christ
is greater than every other call to
man. The world does not owe every
man a living, but every man owes the
world a life.

Revenge is sweet. Kentucky wiped

Kentucky girls must have discovered
the source of Wildcat spirit, for they

resembled somewhat the Kentucky-Ros- e

came to the front and in the last few
minutes of play made most of their

The Strollers' annual show, "Tho
Lion and the Mouse,", will bo presented at the Lexington Opera House on
tho night of Saturday, March 10, instead of March 9, as was announced
last week. It was found necessary to
change the date of the performance
on account of a conflict.
Rehearsals have already been in
progress for more than a month and
it is believed that this year's performance will measure up to the high
standard set by the Stroller sTTows of
previous seasons. The two weeks remaining before the performance will
be spent in polishing up the rough
places and a finished production jnay
be expected on the night of March 10.
Each year the annual Stroller show
occupies a more and more important
place In the University social calendar, until it is now one of the premier
functions of the entire year. New students who are not yet familiar with
U. of K. traditions would do well to
make their plans without delay. In
other words, make that date.
The cast as finally selected is even
ly balanced in every particular. "Gus"
Gay, a late entry In the part of Jefferson Ryder, is proving to be a "And,"
and it is certain that he will give his
Emery Frazier aod Miss Ma
mie Woods, a close run for the honors. This part requires acting of the
most difficult kind and a number of
men were tried out before one was
found who measured up to the high
standard set by those in charge of rehearsals. "Gus" had the lead in the
Lexington High School play, "Higbee
of Harvard," last year.
There are a number of parts in
"The Lion and tho Mouse" which do
not have a great many lines, but all
of which give opportunity for excellent acting in character portrayal. Tho
Strollers were fortunate
in having
about sixty people try out for parts
in tills year's play, and from this number it was possible to select actors
for these small parts who are temperamentally suited for the parts. Tho
part of Judge Rossmoro has been entrusted to Herndon Evans, another
lato entry, and ho Is making the most
of the part of tho pathetic old man,
who Is broken In health and spirit, because ho "stands falsoly accused of
nccopting bribes."
Tato Bird, as
Judgo Stott, Is doing an excellent
ploco of acting as tho close friond and
counsol of tho accused judgo. Miss
