WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1915 of the misuse of neutral flags ordered by the British government and th contingencies of naval warfare, their becoming victims of trophies- directed against enemy ships cannot alweys be averted." THE FORUM Yesterday's election was in many ways an improvement over some other elections that have been held in Me morial Hall. The ban on campaign cards had the desired effect and the voters were able to get into Memorial Hall without using all the strength they possessed. The race for Senior president was an example of what an election should be. Sjogren and Zum winkel carried on a friendly campaign that was conspicuously free from ob jectionable features. Both men were willing to stand on their merits and ' made their appeal to the voters from that standpoint. Except for the little tiem between classes in the morning, both men remained away from the polls and there was no evidence that they left a squad of friends to "rush" for them. In such a contest both men can feel honored. Every vot was a vote for the man. The United States is now in a posi tion with regard to the warring powers and particularly Germany, that may require all the tact and diplomacy our government has at its command to keep us out of the turmoil. The following extract from Germany's note will give us an idea of the situation our shipping Interests are in and it is easy to imagin the ravings of the "jingoes" in cast any attack should be made upon our vessels. University men and women should inform them selves upon this critical situation so that they may know what they are talking about if anything develops: "Germany now declares all the wat ers surrounding Great Britain and Ire land, including the entire English channel, as an area of war, and thus will proceed aginst the shipping of the enemy. For this purpose, begin ning February 18, 1915. it will en deavor t destroy every merchant ship that is found in this area of war, with out it always being possible to avert that peril that thus threatens her car goes. , "Neutrals are therefore warned against further entrusting crews, pas sengers and wares to such ships. Their attention Is also called to the fact that it is advisable for their ships to avoid entering this area, for even though the German naval forces are Instructed to avoid violence to neutral ships, Inso far as they are recognizable, in view Lirfcoln.

Dear Friend: In this age of peace and plenty bo generously bestowed upon us In the United States, we Americans are prone to forget what hardships are brought on those who are suffering as a result of the European conflict. We need only to go back three cen turies to realize that the life of the Bohemian nation was sapped out and well-nigh destroyed by precisely such a struggle as is now crushing the Bel gian nationality. As we pass over those three centuries, we see a heroic struggle going on for the preservation of the Bohemian language, the restora tion of the national spirit and the in dependence of the Bohemian people. While tens of thousands of Bohem ians are falling in enforced service in Austria's ranks, the only hope or the future independence of the nation of the "dream coming true" lies in the success of the allies. We in America must do our share not only to aid the suffering widows, orphans, refugees and helpless and maimed sol diers, but also to give our substantial support to the fund for the restoration of national independence to Bohemia. Prof. August Molzer who is the ore mast Bohemian musician in the Middln West has generously offered to give a concert with the aid of Lincoln's lead ing artists for the benefit of the Bo hemian fund, he "concert will be held at 8:15 p. m Saturday, February 20, in the Temple theatre. Seats will be Teserved at 75c, 50c, and 35c.

SIDE-LIGHTS ON THE ELECTION Those whose faith in human nature has flagged say that Sjogren was after Zumwinkel'8 vote. Other pessimists are sure that Zumwinkel was the ag gressor. But the fact of the matter is that they entered the polls arm in arm and voted for each other. How's that for politics up-to-date? As usual the polls were crowded with the customary number of "active friends" of the candidates. The "card- less" election day has come. Will the next step be the abolition of vote soliciting on the campus the day of the election? That election hand shake brings up memories of the tales of the "good old days." Why not open a soda foun tain near the polls and let the candi dates give more tangible evidence of their friendship? Pretty Good Guess. Governor Frank Willis of Ohio, at one time taught in a law school. One day he asked a youthful pupil what a demurrer is, and what is meant by filing a demurrer to a legal petition. The young man hesitated. "Don't you know," demanded Willis. "Ye-es, I think so," said the student, but still showing great hesitation. "Then tell it." said Willis. "Well," ventured the young man, "as I understand it, one side comes into court and admits the truth of a charge, but practically asks the other side what in thunder they're going to do about It" Willis gave him a mark of 100.
