Believes Bolsheviki Succeeded
Where Allies Failed, in
Making Rift in
Germany.
Entente Playing Into Hands
of Kaiser in Initiating Le
v nine, He Asserts.
"The Bolsheviki hav*e accomplished
what the allies have tried to do and
failed. They have at last made a rift
between the German socialists and the
German imperialists.” declared Pro
fessor A. P. R. Drucker, the Russian
head of the commerce department in
the University. “Up to this time the
German socialists have considered Ger
many the greatest and most glorious
government on earth. Now they realize
some of the kaiser’s bluffs.”
Professor Drucker was born in Rus
sia, and receives letters, papers and
much information from his Petrograd
friends
The kaiser’s offers of peace were
heartily endorsed by the socialist party,
explained Mr. Drucker. When, how
ever, he refused to allow the meeting
to take place in a neutral country—
thus insuring recognition to the Lenine
government through international cour
tesy—both the Bolsheviki and the Ger
man socialists realized that the alleged
recognition of Lenine was not sincere.
Also, the refusal to allow Poland and
Lithuania to speak for themselves con
cerning the government they preferred,
proved that the principle of self-defini
tion of small countries, which was one
of the underlying principles of the peace
offers, was also merely a bluff. So the
Bolsheviki have exposed the German
government to the German people in
a way that the allies could not do.
Professor Admires Lenine.
Professor Dmcker is a great admirer
of Lenine. "He is the greatest man
in Russia,” is the opinion of the Rus
sian professor. "A keen statesman and
politician, he is a man of iron, reason
ing, calculating, absolutely unbendable.
He is a match for the kaiser, cold, un
afraid, unswayed by sympathies or
leanings, working for the best good of
the Bolsheviki—but without the power
ef the war-lord. He accepted German
hospitality, knowing what was expected
of him, but uninfluenced by gratitude
or display of power.”
Allies Irritate Leader.
The refusal of France, England and
America to recognize the government
of Russia, is, in the opinion of Pro
fessor Drucker, somehow influenced by
the German wishes. When the Russian
socialists were refused a part in the
socialist meeting in Stockholm iu Sep
tember, the kaiser chuckled, for this
left the Russians to be influenced sole
ly by the German socialists- WTien

Hopes for a successful basketball
season leaped greatly on Tuesday, when
Coach Bill Hayward returned to the
campus from his seclusion in central
Oregon His return came as a com
plete surprise, as nothing had been
heard from him since liis departure. He
took charge of the Varsity squad as
soon as he got back, and is now coach
ing them daily, in preparation for the
coining schedule.
The schedule as announced by Man
ager A. R. Tiffany, is well balanced, but
very strenuous. The first contest, which
is with Multnomah Club, on January
lit, is to give the coach a good line on
his men. From this date a three-week
period will elapse before the contest
with the Aggies at Corvallis.
During this time Hayward will con
centrate on a few men and develop a
five-man team that will work together
as a unit.
0. A- C. Games First.
The O. A. C. games at Corvallis,
February S and 9. are the first of the
conference schedule. Four days after
this, the fast Washington State quintet
will invade the campus for one con
test. Tli is will be followed by two
games with the University of Washing
ton aggregation in Hayward hall, on the
18th and 19th.
Manager Tiffany has written to O. A.
C. for two return games, to he played
on February 22 and 23, but he has re
ceived no reply. These are the only
games which have not been definitely
decided upon, and it is highly probable
that they will be played on those dates.
Seattle Trip in February.
On the last day of February, the
Varsity takes its only trip of the year
to Seattle, to play two return games
with Washington, on the 28th of Febru
ary and the 1st of Mardh. These con
tests complete the conference schedule,
but a return game will be played with
the Multnomah Club team in Portland
the following day, on the way back to
Engone
Coach Hayward foresees lots of work
ahead, and strenuous scrimmages are
the headliners each day. A squad of
12 men is to be chosen from which the
final five are to be picked.

day. to the effect that able-bodied men
wanting military experience would be
admitted to the University military
classes, a large number of letters and
applications have been received at the
adjutant’s office. Seeing the interest
taken by the public in the announce
ment. the military committee secured a
special action on the part of the faculty
rrfaking it possible to receive these ap
plicants. By the faculty’s action, men
of the state of Oregon who desire to
increase their military knowledge, may
enlist as special students at tin- Uni

military courses- All applicants who
apply and who are accepted, however,
must have a good definite reason for
so doing, and must pay a fee of five
dollars.

the public of the state, bulletins and
circulars containing in full detail the
various courses taught at the University
are being printed, and will lie mailed
this week to the mayors, postmasters,
and county and state offii ials for plac
ing.
Of the applications already received,
the most are from men who are of draft
age and who hope by taking some of
the military courses to receive faster
promotion in the national army. Others
are from men slightly over the draft
age, and who desire to prepare them
selves for a future officers’ training
i camp.

CITIZEN 100PS WON
Oregon Commandant Tells Own
Story of Historic Battle
to Wednesday’s
Assembly.
“Marseillaise” and “God Save
the King” Features of
the Program.
One minute's continuous applause, and
the singing of a stanza of "God Save the
King," wore the tributes paid Colonel
John Leader by University students who
packed Villard hall Wednesday morning
to hear Colonel Leader tell the story
of the battle of the Somme. So en
thusiastic were the students that the
time was extended to 11:30 that the
survivor of the Somme might continue
his reminiscences of the fight.
Addressing his talk to his “fellow
soldiers, the members of the University
battalion," Colonel Leader declared that
the battle of the Somme should he an
encouragement to citizen soldiers.
First Triumph for Citizenry.
“It was the first battle on a large
scale,” said Colonel Leader, “fought in
this war by citizen Roldiers against
regulars. That day marked the death
of the superstition that it takes a long
line of military ancestors to make a
soldier. So these University men may
take that as an indication of their suc
cess in future warfare.”
The colonel explained that nine divi
sions were scheduled for the fight. “Our
orders were to push on as far as we
blamed could,” said he, “and every
regiment member felt that his regiment
would go the farthest. This is char
acteristic of the army; every man will
trust his soul on his regiment.”
Smoke Clouds Hido Charge.
Colonel Leader described the charge
as coming at midnight. “Clouds oi
smoke were sent up first,” said he. “This
is to hide the course of the raid, just
as we sometimes dress ourselves to look
like trees, or ‘make a noise like a tur
nip.’
“The German trenches were found to

“Few regiments, however, crawl right

WILL BOOST TUG
Bulletins to Be Sent Telling of
Military Work at “U.”
Notices to Be Given to News
papers and Commercial
Clubs.
In order to present the facilities of
the University for military training, to
all citizens of the state who intend to
enlist, or who expect to be drafted,
bulletins giving the courses in detail
will ibe prepared and sent out to all the
towns in the state bv Acting Assistant
Adjutant Dean Walker, of the Univer
sity battalion, who has this work in
charge.
The University authorities are desir
ous of helping in every way the men
who enter the army, and with the large
variety of military instruction now being
given, excellent opportunities are of
fered new recruits to familiarize them
selves in the branch of service they
enter.
All that is required to enroll in the
military work is the payment of a fee
of $5. This will permit the applicant
to take as much work as he desires. In
all, ,'!7 hours of military science are
offered at the present time, with many
new classes being formed.
Although the faculty has been work

publicity bus been given it. Walker’s
plan is to send bulletins and stories
to newspapers, commercial clubs anil
other civic bodies throughout the state
in order that the widest possible pub
