Of Dr. Hall, to Speak
On Peace Plan Tonight
Address to Initiate Year
Program of Group
Because of liis personal friend
ship with l)r. Arnold Beinirtt Hall,
president of the university, the visit
to the campus today of i)r. Charles
E. Martin, dean of the faculty of
social science at the University of
Washington, is of particular inter
est. Dr. Martin comes to speak on
the “Kununciation of War” to tho
International Relations dub at a
meeting in the men’s lounge at
at Alumni hall, at 7::J0 o’clock to
night. Interested townspeople are
invited to the event.
Prior to his. address at the eject
ing of the dub, Dr. Martin will be
a guest of the faculty members of
the International Relations club at
tile regents dining room of the men’s
dormitory.
The meeting tonight will initiate
the year’s program of the Interna
tional Relations dub. Dr. Martin
comes under the sponsorship of thb
Carnegie Endowment for the Ad
vancement of Peace.
Dr. llall made the following state
smen! regarding Dr. Martin’s visit:
“Dr. Martin is the dean of tho
faculty of social science at the Uni
versity of Washington. lie was
brought there for that purpose by
Hr. Suzzallo at the time of his re
organization of the faculty.
“Dr. Martin is known as the au
thor of a number of books on poli
tical science, but is best known as
a keen student in Pacific and inter
national affairs. It is in this capa-1
city that he has been sent here by
the Carnegie Endowment for the j
Advancement of Peace to meet with I
the International Relations club and I
help them initiate their year’s pro
gram. Dr. Martin is one of (lie;
most popular teachers Ut the Uni
versity of Washington and is in de
ma.id in all parts of the country as
a public speaker on world problems.
Bl only after he fills his engage
ment here, ho goes to Honolulu ter a
s.ries of addresses along this line.
“ lb. Martin is the type of thought
ful, stimulating speaker that I like
,J briig ti the eampiu whenever
possible. Jt stimulates our think
ing and directs our attention along
bin’s where altruism and imagina
tion on the one hand, and hard,
practical statesmanship on the other
have aa ipportunity for their fullest
play. I hope every student that can j
fed the time will attend jhe uieot
ing of the International Relations'
dub at which he will speak.”

The Green Land
The road-tired traveler drops to liis
knees
In thankful tribute to the tall,
i straight trees
Of the Green Land.
Grateful for the coolness and the
rest they bring
He sucks long draughts from a
snow-cold spring
That tries with a tinkling tune to
sing
Of the Green Laud.
Ho <opens his collar and slips off his
pack;
Gets down in the grass and lies
with his back
On the Green Land,
And peeps at the clouds as the
branches sway
From a cooling breeze that blows
all day.

In the Gregn Lajid.

Bambi
By Felix Gall on
Bambi is a deer. In the simple
and delicate idyll of Bambi's life in
the woods, Felix Galten tells his
story in a manner so clear, and so
full of sensitive precoption that one
hesitates to call it art, since that
term aften implies a conscious striv
ing for effect which the reader in-,
tuitively feels and against which he
instinctively reacts.
Here is nothing forced or artifi
cial; the events recorded in the book
arc Sometimes very small ones, yet
they attain a delicate and psycho
logically memorable significance,
such as the occasion of Bambi’s
first visit to the meadow, for ex
ample. It is this skill of the author’s
in heightening detail that comprises
perhaps the chief charm of the book.
He makes us see and feel the “"gold
en web” of the sunlight, the dark
brown earth with its fern fronds,
wood-vetch and sage; lie makes us
hear the wood-thrust “rejoicing, the
blackbirds whistling, and the pheas
ants cackling loud and high.”
The author’s greatest achieve
ment lies in his manipulation of
dialogue, for making animals speak
in the language of human beings is
a difficult accomplishment. In this
book, however, it has been done
with rare felicity. All the inliabi
tahs of the forest, even trees and
leaves, voice opinions and speculate
on the self-same questions that agi
tate the minds of men. An excerpt
from the book shows the leaves talk
ing in autumn.
“Can it be true,” said the first
leaf, “can it really be true, that
others come to take our places when
we’re gone, and after them still
others, and more and more?”
"It is really true,” whispered the
second leaf. “We can’t-'even begin
to imagine it, it’s beyond our
powers.”
“It makes me very sad,” added
the first leaf.
They were silent a while. Then
the first leaf said quietly to her
self, “Why-must wo fall? ...”
The second leaf asked, “What hap
pens to us when we have fallen ?”
The first leaf answered, “I don’t
know, some say bile thing, some an
other, but nobody knows.”
'The book is a poignant little mas
terpiece, and will not soon be for
gotten by those who read it.
Translation was done by Whit-,
taker Chambers, and (lie illustra
tions by Kurt Wiese add much to.
the book.—H. M.
Thunder Storms
When tlie gods get drunk and go
un a spree,
Kveu the mountains fear
The boisterous roisterers’ roars of
glee
As they gulp uud gurgle their beer.
With mighty puffs they blow their
suds
As far as they are aide—•
Knock over their steins and loose
the floods
That slop all over the table.
And when the fun begins to slow,
They weary of their lark;
-Viol striking matches as they' go,
Stagger home in the dark.

Night
Myriad stars
Hang in the sky,
And watch
Through the silence of sleeping men
The little'inoon-ehildreu
Playing duck ou-tlie-rock
In the valleys;
On the rivers;
Until the dawn
| Crawling through the crevices of
darkness
Frightens them back into their hid

Jingling in the Wind
By Klizabeth Madox Roberts
Fanciful and extravagant is this
latest of .Miss Roberts’ novels, and
rollicking in mood. The whimsical
hero, Jeremy, a rain-maker by pro
fession. is a new and delightful cre
ation for her, and one has the feel
ing that she immensely enjoyed
writing the book, juggling her
i v.ord». making them flash add
I sparkle and playing all sorts of
I pranks with them.
The heroine, in keeping with the
| mood ol' the book, is a skilled rain
j maker. There are other extravagant
j characters, Arhaj the Sultan, visit
ing in America and writing his im
pressions, Zelda, the beautiful
dancer, who is young at 100 years.
Alias Roberts has a keen sense of
satire, and does not hesitate to ridi
cule such venerated institutions as
business conventions and modern
advert ising.
The book is a mixture of gayetv
and keen satire well worth reading.

An Anthology

Bv Mark Van Dorm
An Anthology of World Poetry,
wliat a stupendous task, yet thanks
to Mr. Mark Van Boren, at last we
have one. The best poetry of the
whhle world in one book! One now
ran wapder through the ehoiee
fields of poetry without moving
from a library chair.
This book was compiled with un
told labor, and is by far the most
outstanding anthology of verse
written in recent years. Air. Van
Boren possesses the poetic taste
necessary for such a task and has
admirably accomplished his purpose.
The complete indexes and table of
contents go to make up one of the
greatest books of poetry ever pub
lished. It presents a picture of
poetic thought throughout 50 cen
turies.
A new reading world is open. The
work of Hafiz, the prince of Persian
poets, who ranks greater than Omar
Khayyam in the minds of the Per
sians, is presented.
The following poem called “The
Soothsayer,” translated from the
Persian aiul written by Sa’di, serves
to indicate the gems hidden from
our notice:
VVliat could he know of sky and
stars,
Or heaven’s all hidden life,
Who did not see in his own house,
The knave that kissed his wife?
Thanks to Mr. Van Doren for a
long needed work!

First of IS ext Week
Work at Guild Theater will soon

has been absent for some time due
to injuries she received when she

ago. Mrs. Seybolt was taken to the
Pacific Christian hospital where
she remained for several days. She
was removed to her home last
Thursday, and is expected to be

from the high -schools and the uni
versity took the red flag and went j
through the streets crying "Down
with tyranny!” The Cossacks shot
their guns zigzag across the streets
and blew up a building. Several of
the students were wounded. Then
the soldiers surrounded them all and
put them in jail.
All of Russia’s revolutions have
started with her students, accord
ing to Mr. Kniasiff. The peasants
are too ignorant to care. The privi
lidged classes are naturally for the
old regime.
In February of 1D17 Mr. Kniasiff
was in Kazan, which is on the
River Volga, a few miles south of
Moscow. A secret telegram was re
ceived saying that provincial gov- i
eminent had been declared in Petro-I
grad. That night 2,000 students
went through all the theaters, ,
through the streets, and to every I
public place proclaiming that the],
czar had abdicated his throne and
that the state had adopted provin-j
eial government. AVhen the stu
dents started to leave the last tliea-l
ter, Mr. Kniasiff among them, they
found an armed Cossack at every
door. A regiment of soldiers met I
them al the street. “Halt!” cried
the officer in command. “If anv:
one runs, we’ll shoot,” and he or-I
dered his men to level their guns]
perpendicular to the bodies of their .
human targets.

Then the Bolshevicks rose up
against the proviueial government.
Students and Jews were hated, but
, Mr. Kniasiff knew only ono student

gogtie at Kazan was ransacked. The
tablets on which the ten command

to a hundred pieces.
Mr. Kniasiff entered the royalist
army of Jtnssia as an officer. He
was ordered to the far cast of
Siberia.
"The soldiers do not like the of
ficers,” remarked Mr. Kniasiff in
an entirely unimpassioned manner.
"It was in Hll8. They made the
soldiers do the dirty work: peel the
■potatoes, cut the wood. They hu

obey orders.
“1 decided I did not want to be
