''Why didn't Germany win the war?
Because, when England stood with her
back to the wall and France was
pushed to the limit of her endurance,
10,000 American soldiers arriving daily
at the front turned the tide," said
Hamilton Holt, eminent journalist, and
editor of The Independent, in his address on "The Declaration of Independence," in chapel, Armistice Day.
"Never did a doughboy give up one
square foot of French soil on which
he stood and if it was necessary for
him to die he "went West" with his
face turned toward the enemy."
The speaker told of his first visit
to the battjlefronts of Europe, March,
1918, and of the hopeless situation he
"No man knew what
found there.
would result if that allied line should
yield.; Peace would have to be made
at the dictation of Germany. England,
France and Italy were desperate,"
saild he. "Then came American youth,
vigor and initiative. At the crucial
moment the tension snapped, the situation was saved and our armies made
it possible for the world to celebrate
November 11, 1919, as the first anniversary of Armistice Day."
The latter part of his address Mr.
Holt devoted to a brief discussion of
the League of Nations and an amusing and interesting description of the
Peace Conference as he saw it in the
capacity of a Journalist. Vividly he
described the council chamber from
whose sacred precincts of Frenchy
pink upholstering the newspaper men
were carefully barred by heavy,
cords.
This dissertation, though begun in
a light vein, was ended so solemnly
and seriously that a thrill passed
through his hearers as Hamilton Holt
described President Wilson reading of
the League of Nations Covenant. "I
was proud at that moment to be an
American," he declared, "and proud
that Woodrow Wil3on was my President.
"The League simply suggests and
proposes," Mr. Holt continued. "It
neither insists nor commands. Our
young men left their business interests, their farms, colleges, offices and
crossed the ocean that the United
States might stand shoulder to
shoulder with the nations of Europe

On to Des Moines! With this slogan,

the University begins its campaign for
the sending of eleven delegates allotted to her for the Eighth Internationa Convention of Student Volunteer Workers, to be held in Des
Moines, Iowa, from December 31, 1919,
to January 5, 1920. The purpose of
the convention is to bring together
representative delegations of students
and professors from all the important
Institutions of higher learning of Canada and the United States and leaders
of Christian
enterprise throughout
the world.
The conventions of the Student Volunteer Movement occur once in a student generation. The last one held in
America was in Kansas City, in 1914,
with 5,031 delegates. Some of the
most eminent speakers and workers of
Christendom will speak at the five
evening sessions at Des Molne3. They
will be selected not because they are
near at hand, but because they are the
men best fitted for the work, and they
will be called from all ends of the
earth if necessary. The program will
Include discu3ions of the moral, social
and religious needs of the world today? immediate-problediscussions in
small groups; and simultaneous conferences on the great missionary fields,
such as China, Japan, India, Africa,
Turkey, etc.
At a joint meeting of the "Y" associations of the University at Patterson Hall, Sunday night, the convention was discussed with special emphasis on the opportunities afforded
both to the delegates and to the University in the inspiration and practical suggestions which the delegates
will receive from contact with other
students and leaders. Ralph W. Owens and Carl Zerfo3s, at this meeting urged the necessity of a careful
selection of the eleven fortunate students, seven boys and seven girls,
who will be sent from the University. The men will select their representatives from the classes; the
girls will be elected at a mass meeting from nominees chosen by a committee consisting of two members of
the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, two from
the Student Government Council, and
two from the associations at large.
Owens and Zerfoss will be delegates
and Dr. McVey will probably
attend as faculty representative.

The mountain sheep were shorn;
And Vanderbilt went home to tell
Another tale forlorn.

We met another muss;
For Cincy slipped acros the line
And put the jinx on us.
The jinx is off. Let's hit the trail
And scalp our old tormentor.
The victory's ours do not fail
To put this jinx on Centre.

"The dope may be against U3, but

The case was prosecuted by H. P.

Professor Hamilton. Professor Summers sat upon the bench as Judge of

After a number of witnesses had
been examined by both sides and
some very interesting evidence had
been brought out, the Jury was instructed to retire. In a very short
time it returned a verdict of guilty. A

WELCOME ''LITTLE THEATER."
The Kernel wishes to congratulate the students upon the addition of the
"Little Theater" activities to the (University of Kentucky curriculum. Like
!iill great accomplishments
the idea of a laboratory .theater for University
dramatics at first existed in the minds of only a few students and professors, who immediately became its energetic and successful promoters.

University as a laboratory for cultivation of histrionic talent.
Few students, and practically no outsiders, fully realize the benefits to
University and State to be derived from a modern,
laboratory
in which the dramatic talent of Kentucky boys and girls may And opportunity to express Itself and to develop into fruitful achievement.
The University, so far as we are informed, is the only institution in
the South that can boast of practical courses in dramatic art, and has an
laboratory in the form of a minature theater for the application
of dramatic conception of presentation and management.
This institution, by the addition of the "Little Theater" and courses
in dramatic art, has been placed in a class with Harvard, Vassar, Carnegie
Institute of Technology, and the University of Utah, the only four institutions
in the United States which can boast of so invaluable equipment.
In the intelligent appropriation of the "Little Theater" training, it is
obvious that much good will be derived therefrom. Carefully prepared prot
grams of high class
plays presented during the session, would be
a source of pleasure to student audiences and of marked cultural benefit to
those who participate in them.
It Is impossible for the Kernel to enumerate all the benefits to be enjoyed
by those directly interested In the project. The aspiring young actor, the
ambitious prospective producer and stage manager, the artistic decorator,
the skilled electrician, the talented playwright among Kentucky student,
will each find the experiment both interesting and cultural.
The University of Kentucky ha3 shown itself progressive in this and
many other projects during the last several years, and the Kernel makes
bold here to predict that soon it will be leading in still other fields of educational endeavor, as it is unquestionably doing in Dramatic Art, to the end
that it will soon be uniformly conceded "The Best in the South."

have omitted the following. Alexander
predicted that Lexington High would
beat Owensboro High; that Cincinnati
would beat Kentucky, and that Kentucky would beat Centre. Two predictions have come true. Centre Beware!

ABOUT THE CAMPUS

THE LINEMAN

Irvine Scrivener, who was In tho
To Brltton, a gentleman, oi.'J grid- Aviation Branch of the service, has
iron hero who will always live In the lately been discharged and returned to
hearts of the old students, as a model tho University, where he will finish
Wildcat:
Farmer Brown came to town, ono
bright autumn day. He said, I have
heard of the Wildcats, and I want to
see them play. Said he, "I have heard
ol the long end runs, made by their
speedy halfs, also the smashing
plays that make men howl,
and laugh." Said he, "I have read all
the dope
and, I know these
back-fielstars, and how they gallop
through an open field, nnd place the
between the bars."
So Farmer Brown came out to a
game and sat up in the stand, and
true he smiled at every gain. He
cussed to beat tho band. "Ma," he
Bald, when he got home, "the papers
don't tell the truth. They don't tell
of the real heroes, and what is more
I have the proof." And so that night
when the chores were done and all
had gone to bed, Pa told Ma about
the game, and this is what he said:
The
"They all lined up at the kick-off- .
quarterback caught the sphere. He
run ninety yards lor a touchdown.
The stands gave him cheer after cheer.
But not one seemed to notice, of the
thousands in the stand, how each husky linesman was sure he 'got his man.'
Then in a regular formation, they signaled to buck the line. A half carried the ball, off tackle for a gain, it
was mighty fine. But no one noticed
the tackle. A hero from head to shoe.
How he opened a hole wide enough to
drive a wagon through. They seldom
notice a smashing end, or the line
that charges low, or the men who
often 'block a kick,' real heroes they
never know. They bear the brunt of
the battle, and must fight in every
play, and If one for a minute falters,
he is put on the bench to stay. Only
under the shadow of his goal post, is
he noticed for the first time. Then
for honor of school, and victory he i3
begged to 'hold the line." So Ma, you
can have your backfleld stars, and
your speed kings galore, but the way
they divide the honor up, sure does
make me sore. Of course, they should
get some credit, but they are heroes
no longer mine. The hero true digs a
hole with his shoe. It is the boy that
plays in the line.
"FRIZZY."
