PRODUCE AND SAVE
(Continued from Page One)
have a duty to perform Just as plain
as is the duty of the soldier fighting
in thft trenches. To keen our soldiers
there, we must ECONOMIZE and
SAVE. We must bend our energies
to PRODUCE. This Is just as import
ant as to fight in the trenches. No citi-
en Derforms his duty, who does not
PRODUCE and SAVE. Our work is
not so dangerous as the soldier's, but
it is Just as vitally important, and
every individual must realize that he
has a duty to perform, and that he
lacks in patriotism if he does not per
form it. In the broadest patriotic
sense, every, citizen is drafted in this
war. Let our slogan be PRODUCE
and SAVE. The man between the
plow handles, and the woman in the
kitchen, producing and saving, are
lust as important and just as neces
sary for the success of American arms
as is the soldier in the trenches.
ODDS APPARENTLY
AGAINST HUSKERS

the hurdles, which puts at least 10
points in the doubtful list, that the
Huskers had been strongly counting
on.
Stiff Tussle on TracK
In the track events the Cornhuskers
will give the Minnesota runners a
mighty stiff tussle, for the majority of
the points. The big question that is
confronting the coach is whether tne
runners can train a big enough lead to
off-set the Gopher's strength in the
field events. There is little question
jto the superiority of H. McMahon in
the 100-yard and 440-yard dash. Town-
send and B. McMahon should also
gather in at least two seconds out of
the three sprints. In the, half mile
run, however, Minnesota has a two
minute man In Hausser, who is ex-
nected to cut up a hard fight against
Grau, winner of the event last year.
Graf and Kretzler are In the prime
of condition and should experience
little difficulty in annexing the bulk
of the points in the mile and two-mile
runs.

The Gift Bearing Germans
By John Luther Long
If any of the peace proposals which
have come from the Teutonic allies
had come from nations alive to their
international obligations, jealous of
their natldnal Integrity, scrupulous as
to their general honor, the world might
be cheered by the hope that, present
ly, when the Bcales had fallen from de
luded but honest eyes, we might reach
a basis which would offer the poor
comfort of a gradual reproachment.
But the Teutonic allies are not such
nations not any of them. They are,
together, notorious for the lack of the
things mentioned above. So, behind
each ocer camouflaged as peace, hides
thfi erinninir skeleton of other wars;
of national and personal deceit; of the
advance repudiation of the very obliga
tions they propose to take; of the abso
lute indifference to right; of the utter
lack of aggregate and individual honor.
All these are gladly lost, sunk, de
stroyed, in the mad street to achieve
unholy means to unholy ends. It is
hnneless to treat for peace with sov
ereigns so entirely turned from right
to wrong thought. But one thing these
people offer with baleful, hidden pur-
noses will do: they will fix forever
our determination to conquer .this in
tolerable thine and to turn the minds
of the rulers and peoples who have
conceived and are fostering it, toward
the right, or else to put them aside
from the oath of honest nations and
men, to live sequestered in their ig-
nominv. One of these two things is
to be the judgment of the world against
the Teutonic allies.
Tt is time for us of America to real
ize that, in the world war, two alter
natives face us. and only two. The
one is victory. The other is defeat.
We. had thought that Germany had
nrnirressed with the other nations in
ethics, in morals, in spirit, in spiritual
ity. But we were utterly, hopelessly
wrnne. The passing decades that had
brought to other nations a loftier ideal,
hither purpose, have left Germany
convinced that might is right; that de
cency is weakness; that forbearance
is cowardice. Germany still believes
that the force of arms overrides the
forces of Christian righteousness. She
still preaches that, if you covet your,
eiirhhor'a ox. it is your just rignt 10
take it from him if you can; and, if he
ohtacta. to kill him in doing it.
Germany has always lusted, and slill
lusts, for world dominion. She wants
to see but two classes of human souls
on this green footstool of God; and
those classes Germans, and slaves.
And so it must come about that, if
Germany be not beaten, then it will
come to pass that she will have her
way; if not In one year, in -ten; if not
in ten, in fifty; if not in fifty, in a
hundred. Some day she will have her
way.
If is not yet sixty years that Abra-
ham Lincoln said that the nation could
not exist half free and half slave.
It is now for us, who love his mem
ory, who worship his fine, rugged man
hood, to cry out: "This world may
not exist half civilized and half Ger
man." We are fighting for our freedom; for
our liberty; for this great country that
is ours. These things were not lightly
won for us. They must not, they shall
not, be lightly lost.
It Is victory or defeat that we face.
A stalemate a patched-up truce
would, and could, settle nothing. It is
not nations, but Ideas, that now face
each other on the blood-drenched fields
of Europe. And there can be no com
promise. Right fights wrong; good
fights evil; the right of the individual
to his own soul and his own body fights
against the brazen and bloody medie
vality that one man may draw from
all the others their blood to the last
drop and their agony to the last pang.
It is tim for us of America to real
ize these things and, moreover, to know
that he who, until the victory be won,
talks peace, talks treason; he who
shows weakness shows cowardice; he
who preaches compromise preaches de
feat Our country, our lives, our honor
everything we have, and are, and can
ever hope to be are at stake.
And ii can be only thai w win, or
lose. It can be only victory or defeat
And which, oh, you of America, shall
it be?
. The answer is yours to make.

DEPICITING SPIRIT
OF PEACE AND 'WAR
(Continued from Page One)
The Planting of the Ivy
Tossibly the most suggestive num
ber of the pageant will be the plant
ing of the ivy plant sent to the Uni
versity not long ago by two faithful
Cornhuskwr soldiers, Herbert Reese
and Marcus Potet, from the fields of
France. The planting of this ivy
plant will symbolize the planting in
the hearts of the students of Ne
braska, a lasting memory of those
Huskers who have sacrificed the pleas
ures and privileges of campus life to
make an end to Prussian autocracy.
Th naereant is a combination of the
old English celebration of the crown
ing of the May Queen and a patriotic
theme reflecting the spirit of the allies
in the present great crisis. Its pur
pose is to keep alive old customs
while symbolizing the patriotic fervor
of today. Over 250 people will par
ticipate in this number which will con
tain manv of the important numbers
of former Ivy Day celebrations. The
oration to be delivered by Everett
Randall will be included in the pageant
as will be the reading of the Ivy Day
poem.
Program New and Distinctive

be adjourned to the Capital Beach '
grounds where the remainder or tne
events will be staged. The whole j
series of features promise to be
something entirely new to the stu- j
dent bodv and bearing a mark of dis-;
tlnction. The pageant is something
different from anything ever before
attempted and is at the same time
very unique and beautiful. !
A number of surprises are still com
inz to the students as to other num
bers of the day and some interesting
announcements may be made in fol
lowing issues of The Nebraskan.
Chairmen of committees are re
quested to put in every extra minute
in providing for their part of the pro
gram. The senior girls will hold their
first rehearsal for the Ivy Day chorus
this evening at 8 o'clock in. Memorial
hall, ;Every senior girl will be given
a part in this chorus and all are ex
pected to co-operate freely in the final
preparations.
