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-

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.

THE HEAD HUNTER

' Warnings are coming to us from
all .sides. 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

_ MT. AETNA

-Men have harnessed wind and
water and lightning and-- X-rays.
But no one has yet ‘been able’to har-

Mt. Aetna decides to erupt; and.
three Sicilian villages, occupied by,

gather about their priests to pray ‘for
deliverance. But the flow of lava

the other. It will stop, it seenis to

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:

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

The State Department.of the United

It is not at all unselfish. It may hand

essentially it is for the United States

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.
