ARMISTICE DAY Ten year’s ago last Sunday the Armistice was signed. ‘The oldest of us was13, the you st perhaps six: We were let out of school, and we remember a great noise and a more “or less unreasoning joy. We stood breathless on curbstones and watched processions. If the Armis- _ tice meant anything to us then it was ~ here and ” little more than a vague emotion. It is no use. telling us to remember. What we feel about the war has had to be learned, mostly by read- ‘ing and hearing our families talk ; at best, by going to see the battle- | fields and the cemeteries of- France and Belgium. Even there the ‘marvelous work of reconstruction} makes ‘the fact of war seem in- credible. The grain already hides the hard stumps of old dug-outs and gun, emplacements, and only there torn fields and barbed wire are on exhibition for a few francs. But the cemeteries—white ‘crosses on green lawns for the Al- lies, black crosses on bare ground for the Germans, still remain, ter- rifying’ in their extent. More im- pressive still are the names, on the Menin gate and elsewhere, of the hundreds of . thousands whose graves were never found. That gate is perhaps- the best lesson we can learn. . It is one of the few things that can bring home the hopless cruelty of war to those whose ex- perience is riecessarily “second-hand. It is like a great unpaid bill with which we are suddenly confronted, a standing ‘proof that the War cost too much. There is nothing for us, who are “now in college, to say+ on this tenth ~ the world’s problem. 4 anniversary. Ten years ago we were children. In ten years more we will perhaps be ledders.

There is a horrible, skulking something about the ‘cam- pus which has been called to our notice by ‘all good wardens and the Dean. It haunts bare tgs; its dead- ly face loiters about wet feet; and, like a ghostly death’s head, it ‘floats on the ether of all drafts. It ruins the queens of articulation, transforms the college prima-donnas into a_ veritable choir of croaking frogs. om Hunt up your toques and. ear muffs. Rout out your shawls and fur tippets. That veteran buzzard of crime, Cold-in- -the-Head, is at large a . _ MT. AETNA -Men have harnessed wind and water and lightning and-- X-rays. But no one has yet ‘been able’to har- ‘ness a volcano. Mt. Aetna decides to erupt; and. three Sicilian villages, occupied by, 2 ssa of peaceful home-loving nts, are wiped out in as many in aeroplanes, and boclccnt gather about their priests to pray ‘for deliverance. But the flow of lava is a#® contemptuous of the one as of’ the other. It will stop, it seenis to *! say, when it gets good and ready. A volcano is sych an unréasonable thing that we refuse to believe in it. | The-accounts in the paper seem like marvelous and horrible fictions, no more actual than The Last Days of Pompeii. And apparently the very. inhabitants of the . destroyed towns have the same feeling. When the flow ceases they will return trustfully to the sites of their old homes, unable to be convinced that anything so unfair and irrational will. happen again. Old News Recall Renée on Campus Ten Years Ago “The New York Times” on Sunday reprinted its front page of November 11, 1918. We cannot reprint the ‘full page from the “College” News” of ten years agd, but the réactions of our predecessors, to one who has the issue @f that date before her eyes, are full of interest. A two-column head- line announces “Epoch-Making Cele- | bration Sweeps Campus from Thurs- day to Monday. Président Thomas Says Winning of War Means a New World.” Classes on Friday and Mon- ‘day gave way to celebrations of peace, and the behavior of the students on Monday morning, November 12, is de- scribed as follows: “Wrenched from their slumbers by insistent Philadelphia whistles or by exited groups. running. through the|- corridors, the undergraduate body, in various stages of deshabille, assembled on Taylor steps in the dark between 4°and 4.30 Monday. morning to begin patriotic songs. To the clanging of Taylor bell and the sound of the col- jlege siren they, proceeded in a noisy column to Low Building, where Mrs. Smith greeted them and them with a flag:. On the campus they were met by. President. Thomas, who greeted them with a short and im- pressive address and, accompanied them to a blazing bonfiré on the lower hockey field. “Punctuated only by-short talks by President Thomas and Dr. Fenwick, the b6nfire singing and snake dances continued until the first sign of dawn at-6..0’clock,” The first gews of the armistice was | announced, it appears, by a Junior in Rockefeller, one M.

FENWICK SPEAKS “CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 France. and Germafty in 1870 referted to no higher tribunal than their owrm interest, relied-on no other nation # The only alternative to absolute’ self-depend--~ ence was in defensive ‘and offensive alli- ances, and the balanee of-power. Instead 2 of understanding there .was suspicion, — distrust and uncertainty. Every nation, in such a system, feels it must strike first “in self-defense. A~ German officer watching a pacifist demonstration in Ber- lin just. before the War remarked‘to Dr. Fenwick: “They will all be in the ranks by Sunday. Germany must strike before Russia grows rien. enough ‘to crush. her. =: Si. eee Wordsworth ipeterned to “The good old law, the simple plan, That he shall take, who has the power, And he shall*keep who can.” The “good”. of it, as Dr. pointed out, Fenwick went to the wall. The State Department.of the United States works for its own interest only. It is not at all unselfish. It may hand out money to Japan, or to Sicily when there is an efuption of Mt. Aetna, .but essentially it is for the United States first, last and always. Its principle. is the principle of the old order, and there is none more un-Christian. The new order is that of the World Court. With an international court for settling disputes, a nation ceases to be its own judge. The courts as it stands has no power to compel. It simply offers. its services, But the United States has even refused to make a statement, in- volving no obligation, that arbitration is the preferable way to. settle differences. In the” old days wars could be won. But Dr. Fenwick pointed. out that this is no longer possible. The price of vic- | tory is far too great. War ¢an no longer -be~-confined™ to the” small circle which made success profitable. stroy it, it will destroy us. The Leagfe of Nations has fot dared to exercise full poWef. forum, where each country is to bring its case to be seen in the light. of all nations. An outlaw will find all the J other nations combined against it, for ; this is the new ordes. The common in- terest shall take precedence, and self- interest shall be inconsequential; It is: bound to lose in the long run. .The pur- suit of larger aims will be better in the end, but the larger idealism is yet to come. P’ : : Dr: Fenwick then quoted Tennyson: “The 8ld order changeth, giving — Unless we de- to new, ¥ And God fulfills Himself in’ many> ways.” He thinks that it is now changing: slowly, and that. war is -net~ inevitable. It can be suppressed, and it is our duty to those who died to: help change the order from the old to: the new.
