The reason the German Industrial
revolution of 1848 failed was because
Germany was divided In twenty-seven
small kingdoms, Dr. Bohn said. The
kingdoms did not work together.
If the people of German birth or
with German names or who advocated
the "peace at any price" Ideal before
the war, would make their position
in regard to the present war as clear
as Dr. Bohn did Tuesday, we do not
believe the University of Nebraska
would be criticized as pro-German.
The first half of each Convocation
period is regularly interrupted by
those who come in late; the last half
by those who must leave early. "Get
ting there late" is more often a habit
. than a necessity. Delays are often
unavoidable, and sometimes It is nec
essary to arrive late. But one who
regularly arrives late makes himself
a nuisance to the speaker who is try
ing to hold the attention of his hear
ers and to the audience who are try
ing to listen to the lecture.
Tuesday evenings are the only eve
nings the city Red Cross rooms are
open. A large number of University
women work there then. They are
constantly kept from attending by
Tuesday meetings of societies, clubs,
honorary sororities and the like.
These meetings could be held on other
evenings as well as on Tuesdays. This
spring each organization that meets
customarily on that evening should
change so that next year University
women can work at the city Red
Cross.
Robert W. Service in his "The Spell
of the Yukon" philosophizes:
"There's gold, and its haunting and
haunting,
It's luring me on as of old; .
But it isn't the gold that I'm wanting
So much as just finding the gold."
The University Red Cross rooms
close this week as Nebraska hall Is
to be prepared for the soldiers. There
is quite a lot of gauze left and it must
be made into dressings by Friday aft
ernoon. More girls than are regi
stered are needed to accomplish this,
and Mrs. Waugh has asked every Uni
versity woman to spend at least one
hour Thursday or Friday afternoon In
the rooms.
Perhaps some still doubt that the
German government .planned, almost
from the first, to make us pay the
costs of its war. But even these can
not doubt that, today, it hopes to
make us pay them and not alone in
money. If Germany wins she must
look to us for indemnity, for in bank
rupt Europe no one will be capable
of paying, and the German govern
ment must have indemnity or face
domestic revolution. But is it not
alone that Germany craves. The
claws and fangs of the blonde beast
are red; but not yet is the beast
glutted. Still It longs for pillage, for
murder, and for rapine. Beware! The
fate of Belgium may yet be ours.
CRITTENDEN MARRIOTT.
The strength of a nation, we well
know, is measured not in terms of
wealth or volume of population, but
love of truth and courat to defend it.
We are strong in this wai n precise
proportion to our determination to
banish autocratic greed and injustice
from the earth.
josephus Daniels.
A few men started this war in the
blindness of autocratic power; all
Hoarding Is Not Thrift
New York. "Practices of economy
that foster personal ' selfishness and
money hoarding are a' long way from
thrift or patriotism," declared 8. W.
Straus, president of the American So
ciety for Thrift in a statement made
public today.
"Through patriotism we are able
to attain the sublime heights of com
plete unselfishness. It is the very
antithesis of personal consideration
Thrift means progress and efficiency.
It is as necessary in winning the war
s the spirit of unselfishness. Any
form of economy, therefore, that en
couraees selfish tendencies is the
poorest sort of patriotism.
"In the complicated economic era
which the war has brought upon us,
we should at no rime lost sight of the
dangers of misguided thrift. The pres
ent situation is so new and strange
to the average American citizen and
it presents so many complex situa
tions that considerable perplexity at
times exists as to the most patriotic
course to be pursued in the admini
stration of one's individual affairs.
"What may be regarded by the in
dividual as laudible zeal, unselfish
patriotism, and thrift might in reality
be most unfair to legitimate business
to which the nation must look for
support in these days of tremendous
war expenditures.
"The motives of selfishness, per
sonal comfort or personal pleasure,
should not enter into the question.
In these days the whole world of
humanity is suffering. These are
times when tremendous personal sac
rifices are necessary. It Is not the
time for one to stand on so-called per
sonal rights. It is" the duty of each of
us to make sacrifices, to suffer, and
to endure whatever hardships may
come as a result of the war.
"In all personal matters, however,
care should be exercised that we do
not go to unreasonable lengths. Many
people believe that the sum total of
thrift is hoarding money, that the
thrifty man is he who spends as little
as possible regardless of his personal
conditions. Hoarding money is as far
from real thrift as the south is from
the north. Saving money is a stone
in the foundation of thrift. It is the
first step in the development of a
sturdy character, for true' thrift means
real character development.
"At the present time, when thrift
is a matter of such vital Importance
to all of us, it is most essential that
it be practiced intelligently because of
the effect it will have on the indi
vidual and on the nation. Our citi
zens are being called on to raise
several billions of dollars a year. In
order that the war loans may be prop
erly absorbed by the country, legiti
mate business must be protected. The
business man who is forced into bank
ruptcy is certainly not able to lend
as much individual support to war
finances as he wkmld be had his
business remained solvent.
"Indiscriminate economy, therefore,
carries with it the danger of injustice
to legitimate business, without the
corresponding benefit resulting there
from in winning the war.
"Each of us should strive to con
duct our affairs from a broad, pa
triotic, sensible point of view, and
keep in mind that the business or
ganization of the country has rights
and uses that must not be overlooked.
While food, ammunition, and guns are
necessary in winning the war, money
also is essential and at no time has
this fact been more apparent than
during our third liberty loan drive.
"As the war goes on there will be
continually a greater need for the
practice of thrift.
"More and more money will have to
be raised for war purposes. More
food will have to be conserved, more
waste will have to be elmiinated, and
for these reasons it is essential that,
as the practices of thrift become more
genera, they should be more thor
oughly understood.
"Unhappily the word "thrift" al
ready has been sadly misused.
"Thrift, to be 'of fundamental and
lasting benefit to the nation, must be
practiced broadly and intelligently.
'We must remember that the gov
ernment of the United States and its
needs come ahead of every personal
consideration. The war must be won
at any price.
"We must pay for victory, remem
bering that at any cost, it Is cheaper
to win than to pay the price of 'defeat.
"But, while pressing on in this de
termination, it is well to be reminded
from time to time that we will profit
nothing as a nation by the establish
ment of wholly fictitious standards of
economy; that nothing will be gained
by developing habits of personal selfl
ishness. "More and more as the days go by,
the practices of thrift will be neces
sary, therefore, they must be carried
out understanding In order that the
greatest amount of good will result.
Thrift is most essential in winning the
war and will be of incalculable value
In the days of readjustment that will
come with the dawn of peace. Bnt
it would be unfortunate for the thrift
