The name of the county was not made public but the executive said a delegate headed by the mayor of one of Its cities had called upon him with a request for "military protection." Gov.

J. C., Walton. Despite the fact that thely were dispersed when they gathered at noon today before the barred doors of the chamber at the capitol the legisla- tores contend that the hIouse was for- ily convened and that it is now in session pending the call of the pre- siding'oftcer. Proceedings Constitute Meeting A statement by Rep. W. D. McBee, a leader in the assembly move, de- clared that the proceedings constitut- ed a meeting of the House notwith- standing its interruption by troops. With the statement, Representative McBee made public what he declared to be the official journal of the House. It detailed the action which termin- ated in the clearing of the capital corridor by the military. No Atempt to Re-assemble Prevented from meeting the House members tonight pinned their hopes from protection against the military authorities upon the efforts of legal committees which are preparing court proceedings to force the next step in the coflit. That there will be no immediate at- tempt to assemble again in defiance of martial law regulations, was the lromise made late today by house leaders of Adjutant General Baird l. M~arkam. Observers predicted tha the solons would await a court rul:ng before essaying another assembly. Representative W. l i. Biney, chair- pan of the legal committee said to- Alght that the court proceedings could not get underway before morn- ing. He refused to indicate what form the action might take.

Following a short musical program President Marion L. Burton, the speaker of the evening was introduced by Thomas J. Lynch, '25 L, chairman of the reception. Do Not Limit Friendship "The mark of an educated person is his ability to make easily and quickly a difficult transition", said President Burton speaking on the subject "Thri Test of Transition". "It is like a jump in the dark and the real man must not be afraid to take it or become con- fused in the process". Enlarging upon the subject of tests President Burton cautioned his hear- ers to learn to keep their balance and claracterized this as the first test. "Do not limit your friendship to any one group or class," he said, "and be extremely careful in your final choice of friends". "There is no better place in the world to acquire an understanding of the world than in this University", the President continued, in touching on the test of adaptabiliy. "Wherever you may travel you will find that the knowledge gained here will be invalu- able". Merriam and Lynch Talk The test of integrity was character- ized by the speaker as the most im- Shuter To Meet Poster A - rtists Cartoonists, cai ricatui ists, artists, in fact anyone who can urn a brush or crayon is eligible to take part in the poster contest for the 1924 Union op- era. One of the ountan ;iing features of the annual .Lov is its trade-mark the poster, and a novel one is wanted this year. The poster is not usually one that requires a great deal of work, but its prinme requisite is originality.1 Anything original will be considered, and for that reason it is expected that men who have not had a great deal of experience in drawing will compete, together with those who have done more work. E. Mortimer Shuter, director of the opera, will meet all men who desire to take part in the contest for which prizes are to be given, at 5 o'clock this afternoon at his office in the Mimes theater. iHe will explain in a general way what is wanted in the poster, and then throw the contest open.

Adherence to passive resistance, said the document, would have brought on the economic collapse of Germany and consequently would have threatened the livelihood of the German people. Appeals to Nation The government appeals to the na- tion to stand by the republic in the present hour of "severest soul-search- ing and material privation, as only (hus can the nation's honor and life he conserved." The proclamation lays emphasis on the statement that under no circum- stances can a particle of Germany be conceded to another power. The na- tion is assured the government will 0do everything possible to obtain res- toration of "elementary human rights" for the German nations evicted from the Ruhr and the Rhineland. The history of the passive resist- tance is reviewed over the document, which sets forth that 180,000 men, women and children have been driv- en from their homes and firesides while many millions no longer have any conception of personal liberty. Hundreds in Prison "More than 100 of our fellow citi- zens have been forced to lay down their lives," it continues, "while hun- dreds are st:ll languishing in' pris- ons." As to the expense of the support given the passive resistance the pro- clamation cites tile fact that only last week the assistance given in the Ruhr amounted to 3,500,000,000 marks and that this would have to be doub- led the following week, The cost of this assistance had j made the stabilization of the currency impossible, it was pointed out.

The quake was especially violent around the city of Kure. 'he extent of the damage has not been determined as commun- ications have been disrupted. Kure is in the extreme southwest end off the island of Hondo and about 450 miles southwest of Tokio. Floods had followed a typhoon yes- terday in Sukagawa and hionjo wards of Tokio. Many had suffered as a result as thousands of refugees were camping in rude shacks in these wards. The storm damaged rice and other crops in many sections. Thousands of men, chiefly profes- sional men and clerks are out of em- ployment here as a result of the earthquake. They are also without hope of obtaining employment for months to come, although there is plenty of work for laborers. ,201E1 URGES NEED oF CONTINUAL PREPARDNS "If it were not for the present fin- ancial condition of most of the large nations of the world, there is good reason to believe that the world would, be embroiled in war at the present time," said Dean Mortimer E.
