"Excepting the Central Pow
ders, the armies of the leading
jiations of Europe today contain
nearly half a million more sol
diers than in 1913. The total
mational defense expenditures
of the seven great powers of the
Tvorld have increased from
$2,154,000,000 in 1913 to $2,
958,800,000 in 1930, an increase
of 37. This increase is es
pecially remarkable in view of
the fact that German military
-expenditures today are about
63 below those in 1913.

McCollum At Duke
Johns Hopkins Professor Will Address
N. C Section of American Chem
ical Society Friday.
Dr. E. V. McCollum, of the
School of Hygiene and Public
Health of Johns Hopkins univer
sity will address the North Caro
lina section, of the American
Chemical Society Friday night,
January 15, at 8:00 p. m., at
Duke university. His subject
will be, "The Chemical Back
ground of the Science of Nutri
tion." The address will be pre
ceded by a supper given by the
section at' 6 :30 p. m. at the Duke
Union. The public is cordially
invited to the lecture.
In assembly yesterday morn
ing Ernest R. Groves, professor
of sociology and specialist in
"problems of mental hygiene,
spoke on "Science and Family
Happiness."
Professor Groves outlined the
Temarkable progress of science
under three divisions. First,
science has given us insight into
tthose emotions which, during
our childhood, make us what we
are. Second, it has made pos
sible the "reconstruction" of
people. There are noted psy
chiatrists all over the country,
and a clinic for family difficul
ties has been established at Pa
sadena, California, the speaker
said. Third, science has found
how to educate people for their
love, life, marriage, and parenthood.
In discussing this last named
topic, Professor Groves declared,
""We seem to have come to a so
cial bankruptcy." He stated
that the women of today have
been giving heed to the problems
confronting family happiness.
"Woman is more maturemore
-thoughtful of the recent changes
that have come into the world,
than ever before."
In announcing the existing
code for rushing, Haywood
Weeks, president of the Inter
fraternity Council, calls atten
tion to the fact that regulations
for the winter and spring quar
ters are the same as those for
the fall quarter except that the
period of rushing is shorter.
This is easily justified by the
fewer number of new men on the
campus and the reduction in the
size of the rushing procedure.
Rushing Began Friday
"Rnsriincr officiallv began at
2:00 p. m. Friday afternoon,
Januarv 8. It will continue for
two weeks, ending January 22
at 12:00 midnight, which time
there will be a period of silence
lasting to 6:00 p. m. Saturday,
January 23. At the expiration
of the period of silence frater
nities may pledge men at any
time. '
The Council stipulates that
the hours of rushing are limited
on week days to the time between
2:00 p. m. and 9:00 p. m.,with
the exception of the dinner hour
which is a period of silence. No
freshman or" transfer for the
first quarter's residence here in
the University will be allowed
to pledge a fraternity of which
his roommate is a member.
Rushing shall be confined to
Chapel Hill, and it will be a vio
lation of the rules to rush a
freshman outside of the town
limits.
These rules apply only to
freshmen and transfers for the
nuarter in the University. Any
other person may be rushed and
pledged at will.
Among prominent speakers who are scheduled to address the
North Carolina Newspaper Institute at Chapel Hill today, Thurs
day and Friday of this week are the six men pictured above.

McClamroch's Father Dies
Ruf us McClamroch, father of
Dr. R. P. McClamroch of the TJni-

in Florida yesterday. The burial
will take place today in Greensboro.
By Will R. Wood
(Editor's note: By permission
of International Disarmament
Notes.)
Those persons desiring to in
crease the military and naval
forces of the United States have
been contending that unless fur
ther expenditures are made for
the purpose of augmenting our
army and navy we will soon be
in danger of v being overrun by
some foreign country. In view
of this fact it will be well for
us to onlv stop for a moment
and consider the enormous sums
now being spent by the Depart
ments of War and Navy as com
pared to those made prior to the
World War.
The average pre-war annual
expenditures for the War De
partment . were $142,576,000.
The average expenditures for
the War Department from 1925
to 1928 were $367,077,000. In
1929 they were $416,901,000; in
1930, $453,524,000. Thus it wil
be seen that while our country
is at peace with all the world the
exnense of maintaining our
army is constantly increasing.
In the Navy Department, like
wise, we see comparatively the
same conditions. The average
pre-war expenditures for the
Navy from 1900 to 1916 were
$110,417,000. From 1925 to
1928 they were $327,282,000;
for 1929 they were $364,451,000
for 1930,, $374,165,000.
Certain representatives of the
Navy League have declared and
are declaring that we are starv
ing the navy. Others have also
declared that we are starving
he army. Instead of these
statements being true it would
appear that we are pouririg into
he maw of these activities an
ever increasing amount of the
taxpayer's money. The fact is
that these establishments are
now costing the taxpayers of
this country practically three
times as much a,s they cost them
before the World War. Today,
we are paying $4 out of every
$5 of the money raised to de
fray the expenses of this gov
ernment for past wars and pre
parations for future wars.
Repeating what Gneral Per
shing said in 1921: "It would
anDear that the lessons of the
x- jL-
past six years should be enough
to convince anybody of the dan
ger of nations striding up and
down the earth armed to the
teeth. Isn't it time for. an
awakening among enlightened
peoples to the end that the lead
ing powers may reach some ra
tional agreement which will not
only relieve the world of this
terrible financial load, but which
in itself would be a long step to
ward the prevention of war?"
The stage was all set last
night for the opening here today
of the eighth annual Newspaper
Institute. Registration will be
gin at 4 :00 o'clock, and the first
session will begin in Graham
Memorial at 8:00 o'clock.
Session for Daily Editors
At the request of President J.
L. Horne, Jr., of the North
Carolina Press association, John
A. Park, publisher of the Raleigh
Times, has called for a confer
ence of daily publishers to meet
at the Carolina Inn at 5 :00
o'clock this afternoon for
the purpose of "discussing pres
ent perplexing problems of per
spiring publishers." The meet
ing will adjourn in plenty of
time for supper and the open-1
ing session of 'the Institute at
8:00 o'clock.
Speakers for the Institute
from outside the state include
Charles E. Honce, of New York,
executive news editor of the
Associated Press; J. Fred Es
sary, for many years head of the
Washington Bureau of the Bal
timore Sun, and General Mor
timer Bryant, of Bryant, Grif

DEAN TO REVIEW
PROGRESS 'MADE
OF WORLD PEACE
Dr. Elbert Russell of Duke Will
Be First Speaker on Y.M.C.A.
Forum Tomorrow Night.
Dr. Elbert Russell, dean of the
graduate school of religion at
Duke university, will review de
velopments of efforts at settle
ment of international difficulties -without
resort to war for the
University community Thursday
evening at 8:00 o'clock in Ger
rard hall. This lecture is a part
of the forum on world affairs
sponsored by the Y. M. C. A.
As Quaker and pacifist, Dean
Russell has given a number of
years' study to the ways of peace
and has steadily concentrated on
disarmament. His works upon
pacific and religious topics have
been widely circulated.
As a platform speaker he is
rated among the best in North
Carolina. He and Dr. McNeill
Poteat, of Raleigh, share honors
in the number of invitations they
receive to speak before college
groups. The speaker has spoken
for chatauquas throughout the
country. In the religious sym
posium, sponsored by the Y. M.
C. A. last spring, Dr. Russell rep
resented the Protestant religions.
Dean Russell was reared in a
community which radiated paci
fism that of the Quaker com
munity of Friendsville, Tennes
see. He received both his B.A.
and M. A. degrees from a Quaker
denominational institution, Earl
ham college, Richmond, Indiana.
He was awarded his degree as
doctor of philosophy from the
University of Chicago.
Dean B. F. Brown, of North
Carolina State college school of
business and science, will answer
questions relating to the im
pending disarmament conference
Tuesday night at the second lec
ture of the series sponsored by
the forum of world affairs of the
Y. M. C. A.
GOVERNMENT ALLOWS DIPLOMATS
TO IMPORT THEIR OWN LIQUORS
The federal government has been acting contrary to national
statutes in permitting foreign diplomats to import intoxicat
ing beverages, it has been discovered by Laurence Preuss of
the University of Michigan political science department, after
an investigation of United States and International law.
Preuss was unable to find any precedents in any place to
hinder the government from barring such importations. Dip
lomatic usage would sanction any such prohibition he has
discovered. His study was published in the Michigan Law
Review.
These findings are expected to add fuel to the arguments
of certain ultra dry senators who have battled for years
against aipiomaiic inuuiuiuj.
"HUNCH" SAVES LIFE
OF DR. COLLIER COBB
. 4
Dr. Collier Cobb, the Univer
sity's famous geologist, has
come to the conclusion that "a
kind Providence takes care of
college professors."
Anyway, womanlike or not, as
you wish, he recently changed
his mind because he had a hunch
and thereby cheated death.
Dr. Cobb recently ' went to
Ypsilanti, Michigan, to deliver
a paper before the Association
! of American Geographers. On
leaving the convention he plan
ned to make the return trip by
plane from Detroit, but at the
last moment changed his mind
and came by rail. On the train
he read the story of how the
plane he had planned to boar.d
had been wrecked, killing al
passengers.
STUDENTSREVEAL
THEIR INTEREST
IN DISARMAMENT
Questionnaire at Michigan Gives
Consensus of Student Opinion
On Armaments, Debts, Etc.
Significant data revealing the
wide scope of the interest of col
lege and university students in
matters of international import
was revealed recently in a dis
armament questionnaire on the
campus of the University of
Michigan, the results of which
were relayed to the Daily Tar
Heel in a special article from the
Michigan Daily. Nine intensely
comprehensive questions dealing
with every important phase of
disarmament were presented to
students in economics classes
and at polling places on the camr
pus, and they elicited a gener
ally whole-hearted approval of
present ventures for ,disarma-
ment. ..
Forty per cent of the students
solicited showed themselves ;
"very much interested" in world
affairs. Two sororities and two
fraternities, consulted1 separate
ly, expressed their interest as
follows: thirty-five and thirty
per cent respectively, were "very
much interested;" fifty-two and
fifty-three per cent, "moderately
interested;" and thirteen per
cent and . seventeen per cent,
"little interested." " '
