For This Issue
Announcement that the Cornhusk
ers will mix with Cotner and Wesleyan
next Saturday brings joy to the
hearts of students still in Lincoln who
have been deprived tf usual college
amusements for the past week and
face the prospect of doing without
them for at least two weeks more. An
innovation in gridiron battles, such
as is being- planned, in which the
Methodists will play one-half and the
Bull-dogs will battle the other, will
undoubtedly call out both stands full
of interested and enthusiastic rooters.
During the calls for officers' train
ing camps, draft calls and influenza,
football prospects were sunk quite
deep In gloom but with the announce
ment that arrangements were com
plete for the Notre Dame game and
that Schellenberg, Whitehouse and
Hubka would probably be able to en
ter the lineup a little something of
the normal spirit again came in evi
dence upon the campus. By the time
of the re-opening of the University
on November 2, the influenza epidemic
should be well in check; government
regulations concerning football should
be fairly well established and the re
mainder of the season should be free
from interruptions.
SEVEN REASONS FOR
SAVING
Save for your country's sake,
because It Is now spending mill
tons a day and must find most
of the money out ot savings.
Save for your own sake, be
cause work and wages are plen
tiful, and as prices are high now
a dollar will buy more after the
war.
Save, because when you spend
you make other people work for
you, and the work ot everyone
la needed now to win the war.
Save, because by saving you
make tilings cheaper for every
one, especially for those who are
poorer than you.
Save, because by going with
out you relieve the strain on
ships, docks and railways, and
make transportation cheaper
and quicker.
Save, because by saving you
set an example that makes it
easier for the next man to save.
A saving nation Is an earning
nation.
Save, because every time you
save you help twice, first when
you don't spend and again when
you lend to the nation. The
Commonwealth.
In the joint resolution offered in
congress yesterday by " Senator Poin
dexter of Washington Is expressed
the sentiment of every real American.
His plan to- cease all negotiations
pith Germany looking to the granting
of an armistice or peace until the Ger
man military forces have surrendered
unconditionally will find unanimous
favor and will insure a peace which
will last.
Whether action by congress prohib
iting the president from negotiating
with Germany looking to the granting
President Wilsons' last message to
Germany makes it plain that the mil
itary leaders and advisers of the al
lied countries will have the word to
say when questions of territory arise
before cessation of hostilities and It is
not likely they will be satisfied with
less than was General Grant in the
civil war.
Nevertheless the sentiment express
ed in the resolution offered by Senator
Polndexter should be known and be
lieved In by every American. He calls
for the prosecution of the war with
the utmost vigor and the "occupation
and control by the allies of such Ger
man territory as can be obtained by
our military forces until peace nego
tiations have been concluded."
The German war-lords must be out
of control, in fact as well as in name,
when peace Is concluded this is one
of the foremost terms which our pres
ident has set up. Negotiations with
these leaders will result only In a
slowing up of war activities In this
country and the less ot it done, the
sooner a real peace will come.
Germany's reply to the answer of
President Wilson concerning her re
quest for an armistice clearly shows
from a study ot the hopes, protests,
denials and conditions contained, that
the Hun official mind has not yet
reached the stage necessary before
negotiations can bring results. Typi
cal of the attitude of the German war
lords is the hope expressed that "the
United States will approve of no de
mand which would be Irreconcilable
with the honor of the German people
and with the opening of the way to
a peace of justice." Sentiment such
as this comes somewhat as a surprise
to those who looked for peace a few
days ago and clearly shows that it will
require at least an occupation of a
large portion of enemy territory be
fore the Hun is willing to surrender
his idea that he is to have a part in
the drafting of the peace terms.
The protest against the reproach of
illegal and inhumane actions on the
part of the German forces in their re
treat on the grounds that retreat de
structions are necessary and in full
accord with international law and the
statement that the troops are under
strict orders to spare private property
to the best of their ability shows
again the trickery of the diplomats.
On every hand villages are being rav
aged and ruined as the enemy flys in
retreat. At the time of the evacuation
of Lens, coal mines in the vicinity
were blocked so that it would be im
possible for them to be opened for at
least two years and of the 10,000
not a one was left standing. In the
light of Germany's record it Is far
more easy to believe that no order
has been issued than that German dis
cipline is a thing of the past. '
Just what change may have been
made in the government in the empire
is uncertain. "Announcement is made
of a fundamental change in the Ger
man constitution providing for repre
sentation ot the people in the diclsions
concerning peace and war," accord
ing to a press despatch, "and it is
said that the present government has
been formed in complete accordance
therewith." Such a change would be
a step in the right direction if it has
been made, but it is well to bear in
mind that the announcement has been
made by those who are seeking relief
from deadly onslaught of the allied
troops, and hope to drag the allies Into
a conference.
COLLEGE MEN IN SERVICE
During the past year the colleges
and universities of the country have
contributed liberally in men and ser
vice to the support ot the war. From
198 colleges and universities, accord
ing to reports made by these institu
tions, 44,456 students enlisted in the
army and navy. More than 100,000
graduates and 3,000 members of the
faculties of these Institutions entered
the service. Seventy-nine colleges
and universities report 297 members
of their faculties on war service duty
in Washington, varying in number
from one from each of 33 institutions
to 11 from the University of Texas,
19 from the University of Minnesota
and 22 from the University of Wiscon
sin. Many students, graduates, and
faculty members have enlisted from
Institutions that have not reported.
WOMEN WORKERS IN GREAT
BRITAIN
In April, 1917. the number of nn.
men directly replacing men in Great
Britain was estimated at 1,256,000.
More than three-fourths of them were
In Industrial and commercial occupa
tions and in government emtilov. in
January, 1918, according to the Brit
ish Labor Gazette of June, 1918. this
number had increased to 1,442,000.
The degree to which women replace
men varies widely In different Indus
tries. In government establishments,
not Including controlled establish
ments engaged In munitions work,
they formed 36 per cent of the total
employes; In banking and finance, 24.6
per cent; In commercial occupations,
16.9 per cent; In engineering firms,
7.14 per cent; and In all metal trades,
6 per cent. Many other women are en
gaged In work In which they replace
partially, or Indirectly, the men who
have been withdrawn.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
TRAIN SOLDIERS
liuum to 300 to a maximum of 15,000,
the number to be trained at the Uni
versity ot Texas.
The program ot Instruction and
training provides the jiecessary tech
nical preparation for such worker! as
automobile mechanics, blacksmiths,
carpenters, bench woodworkers, sheet
metal workers, gunsmiths, machinists,
general mechanics, concrete workers,

When the army needed blacksmiths,
carpenters, gunsmiths, electricians,
and other workers, the government
asked the schools to train them. Un
der special contract, American col
leges, universities, and techlncal
schools are providing technical train
ing for one hundred sixty thousand
enlisted men from April 10, 1918, tp
January 1, 1919. On hundred forty
seven Institutions, representing every
state, are training men for the war
department at the rate of 27,000 a
month, under the supervision of the
committee on education and special
training. The number of men trained
at each institution varies from a min-
