Special Dispatch to The Star, ‘ - LINCOL{N, Nebr., .December 13.— Pacifism among thegstudents of the University of Nebraska, which takes the form of distnclination to join the Cadet Corps and drill, recaived a jolt this week when Chancelior Samuel Avery gave notice through the stu- dent ‘@afly that the board of regents considered the institution had a moral obligation to require all men who did not fall within exceptions to take at least four semesters of military training while attending the univer- sity. 2 Nebraska is one of the land grant colleges, endowed by an act of Con- gress passed In 1862, which directed it should be the recipient of the pro- ceeds of - the sales of certain large tracts of. the publfc domain. Phat biil set out as the leading object the teaching of such branches of learning as are related to agricul- ture and - mechanic arts, including military tactics. At that time no such thing as the elective system of studies was in vogue. The chancellor s been the intérpre grant colleges that this required the teaching of military tactics to all physically fit Young men, and this in- terpretation was later strengthened by the national defense act. While it may not absolutely® require that these be taugh e is a moral igation to do %0, and Nebraska will continue to meet that obligation, the rhancelior. says. The students seeking exemption as donsclentious objectors say Wisconsix, land grant eollege, makes training" clective. The chancellor admtts this 1s true, but it 13 not because the Wis- consin University authorities so in- Terpret Tt but becaunt a legislative act makes. it elective. 7 IRISH WANT PAYMENT FOR CLOSED SALOONS Correspondence of The Assdclated Prems: DUBLIN, November 27.—The Fres State government has passed through the Dafl & bill to ocheck the abuses of the sale of drink in Ireland. The measure is concerned with restric- tions of the hours of opening, and the same position, with regard to hours of sale, as the ordinary drink shops While the Remperance party con- siders the measure too moderats, tha licensed trade is much disturbed and hac called upon the Senate to delay passing of the bill till a government commission has inquired into the whole matter. Ministers have indi- cated the opinion that there are more than twice too many shops for the sale of drink throughout the country. and the trade contends that in aboi- ishing those surplus to requirements the government must compensate the dispossessed. The trade also demands a reduction of the license duty proportionate to the restriction in the hours of sale. and hinds its members to withhold all support, financial and electoral, from any candidate for the Dail who will not pledge himself to sustain its de- mands. / N HARMLESS LAXATIVE X All Children Love Its Hurry!
