(Continued on page 2) PROFESSOR ROGERS LECTURES TO GUILFORD STUDENTS Labor and International Politics Professor Lindsay Rogers of Har vard University delivered on Tues day night the last lecture of the year to be given under the auspices of the International Relationship Club. His subject was, "Labor and Interna tional Relations'' Through his intro duction it was seen that Labor and International Politics are ve v y closely related. The lecture dealt with three periods of time; Labor before the war, Labor during the war, and Labor after the war. Before the war practically all European organized labor belonged toi international movements. Strikes were threatened as a method for preventing war and the organizations believed that their programs made war a great illusion. But when the war broke out these movements were lost sight of, and became absorbed in militariism. All Labor parties and Socialists defended and supported the governments. During the war the significant part played by Labor in International politics concerned things of the mind rather than those connected with bod ily and physical strength. After the war the statesmen thought that they should recognize in some way the work of the laboring classes during the war. They wanted to set Labor standards, for they realized that a contented Labor pop ulation would result in peace. Qn the other hand they realized that only by international peace could the labor parties be kept quiet. Lloyd George understood this and emphasized it in the Fall of 1918 as the third point in his brief platform; first, hang the Kaiser; second, make Germany pay; third, make England a fit place for her returned soldiers. These obligations to her returned soldiers are extremely costly and England does not have the necessary money. But England is not the only country in this condition; France is borrowing money to pay interest on borrowed money.

Shore Is Hit Hard In First, But Al lows Only Four Safeties After First Inning. The Quaker team lost to Carolina on Thursday in a fast game of base ball, by the score of 4-2. Carolina started off in high gear and before the smoke had cleared she had scored her only runs of thfa game. In this inning McLean's single, F. Morris' infield hit, Shirley's two bag ger, Lowe's safe bunt and William's clean drive followed each other in rapid succession and enabled four Carolina men to cross the home plate. At this point on Herman Shore, on the mound for Guilford tightened up and during the rest of the game he allowed but four hits, several times the Tar Heels got on base but always failed in the pinch to hit.

BLAIR DISCUSSES THE NEED OF GOOD ROADS A Prominent Speaker of Greensboro Conventicn. William P. Blair of Cleveland, Ohio, had charge of the chapel exercises on Tuesday morning. Mr. Blair is a civil engineer of the middle west and spoke to the chapel audience on the need of good roads. He cited many instances in which great loss was caused by inadequate means of trans portation. The country can no longer be dependent entirely on the railroads to relieve critical transportation sit uations. Good roads must aid in solv ing such problems. Mr. Blair was a speaker at the Good Roads conven tion held in Greensboro.
