Battle Not Over
With Last Shot
Despite loud nio;iiiiiigs to the contrary,
cntliusinsin for tin war is at a high pitch. The
count on which bemoaning is really justified,
however, is that this collective enthusiasm for
victory will, in all rirohaVilily, rapidly peter
out upon termination of armed hostilities.
Allegedly we are fighting for a cause. Al
though we've made slight alterations in phra
oology, avc profess to be applying armed force
toward the establishment of freedom and de
mocracy throughout the world. Wc might as
well stop deluding ourselves. Victory over the
Axis Avill not have established one iota of de
mocracy. If Hitler is crushed one obstacle in
the path of democracy will have been elimi
nated, but a thousand new Hitlers will be wait
ing to tale !.':: place unless a constructive pro
gram is inaugurated to establish democracy.
Other obstacles 1o democracy vested inler
osts, racial discrimination, etc., will also pre
sent a problem, a problem which Avill demand
all the enthusiasm that this war has ever pro
duced. Unless we're just plain fighting for the
sake of fighting, Ave 'II have 1o admit that ces
sation of hostilities will only be the beginning
of the real fight. In this phase of the struggle
it 's just about considered high treason to even
suggest that our armies may be defeated. Why
wouldn't it be just s seditious to doubt 1he
perfectabiHty of man in the later struggle for
real democracy?
If we are now fighting for democracy, we
are fighting so that laborers, as well as own
ers and managers, will reap generous portions
of society's produce. Democracy implies the
greatest amount of production at 1he lowest,
possible cost. It implies shorter hours, more
leisure time, abolition of child labor, employ
went opportunities for all, better housing, etc.
We are fighting for social justice not 'only in
America, but in Germany, japan, India, Alas
ka, Britain, Peru, Tatili, Kcnlucky , and -oh
yes, I'ango run go.
Is it fair to assume that every bond buyer,
every P.ritain blunder, every fire warden, and
every top sergeant has real democracy as his
ultimate objective? Is it fair 1o assume that
these patriots will continue the fight fur de
mocracy as enthusiastically in the voting
booth, al bundles -for-miirralorv woihi is meet
ings, in ihe press, and on Hie stump when ihe
war ends? If these patriots should cease the
fight in the days on reconstruction Mould
there be any possible way of justifying the
Pearl Harbor
On December 7 a nalion stood amazed
As across the world a people half-crazed
Forsook the garment of glorious honor
To implant on others their imperial banner.
Justice, fidelity, friendship and trust
Were discarded for more material crust.
Dut these four, tho haekneye they may be,
Must and will Ihrive to elernity.
And when that day of judgment comes,
Where then will be their Uising Sun?
Guilt will show on blood red hands,
The finger Avill point at the rancorous band.
Hail to God, for it. is his decision
And from it Hiere can be no revision,
For the Moving Finger has made its mark,
Judgment remains, vea, staid and stark.

Lieut. Marcus Pol i us and Lieut. Herbert
Ueece sent as a remembrance to Chancellor
Hastings an ivy plant wrapped in moss and
moist dirt. Gift was sent on behalf of the
lnnocenls of Ihe American Kxpedit ionary force
in France. Dr. K. J. Pool, head of ihe hoi any
department, placed the plant in the green
house where he hoped it could be planted on
Ivy day.
A series of courses was planned in voca
tional education and was offered to con
scripted men to fit thorn for technical Avork be
fore they were called to the colors.
All vacant space around Ihe university
was used for garden purposes. The plan was
suggested by the Women's committee of the
State Council of Defense, whose object was to
promote intensive food production to interest
the public in need for using all space for food
production.
Dean Charles Fordyce, head of teachers'
college, in an address at Fort Crook warned
soldiers against the social evils surrounding
camp life. The dean devoted part of his talk
to appealing 1o soldiers 1o abstain from the use
of French light wines as these beverages are
destructive to the spirit and moral of the men
in ,v", trenches, and hence are contrary to the
cause for which 1hey are sacrificing their
lives.
Chairman W. K. Hardy of the Lincoln Tied
Cross appointed a committee consisting of Mrs.
Samuel Waugh, Dr. Winifred Hyde, Dr. K.
Walker, and Dean Amanda Hcppncr to take
charge of Rod Cross work on campus.
Miss W. Kedford was in charge of a surgi
cal dressing class. Students in her classes
made bandages and other dressings.
Avar, if it can be justified at all?
We abound in enthusiasm now, but are at
a loss as to how it may be directed. We shout
al each other to be "all-out"' then look about
lor a flag to wave so that we can be "all-out."
Democracy would soon ,c a meaningful phrase
if Ihe "all ouiers" would remain "all-out"
after the war. The real patriots will do so.
Others, who are conspicuously waving the flag
now, will return to complacency and status
j'io. Civilization will hanjr on Hie balance in
the reconstruction, for it the peju in unsuc
cessful it is doubtful if the world can stand
another war with Ihe improved technology.
Success will depend upon ihe "all-outers"' for
real democracy. The Miami Student.

things included in the course will
he the study of ordinary college
subjects necessary to proper or
dnance instruction.
The unit, if adopted hy the uni
versity, will include the same
number of credits hours as the
other advanced drill units but will
have a differently arranged course
of study. During the junior year,
the cadets will devote one hour to
drill and leadership, one nd a half
hours to one of the subjects of
regular college curricula, closi ly
pertaining to ordnance, and two
end one-half hours of the week to
the course itself.
Law, Photography Taught.
Principle work herein will be in
struction on military law, aerial
photography, military guard duty,
ammunition and the workings of
the artillery equipment that use
ammunition.
During their senior year, they
will spend two hours on regular
college curriculum included in
their special field of ordnance.
The rest of their time will be
spent on the care arid operation of
motor vehicles and the delivery of
supplies to the various branches
of the army.
Cadets wishing to enter unit
may oeme from any of the basic
units, and, altho the best adapted
students are mechanical atid civil
engineers, students from all col
leges will be selected upon meet
ing the necessary scholastic quali
fications. After a hsort informal discus
sion with the group Colonel Pinter
concluded by stating "our main
object is to win this war, and
we must have a larger ordnance
corps to perfect the production of
war materials to be used to defeat
the enemy."

Cows Amazed
Hals, Sweaters, Pants
-All from Sour Milk
By Everett Bierman.
It's sour milk to you but to en
ergentic chemists, it's soldiers'
pants, Hollywood glamour girls'
sweaters, and western cattlemen's
hats. Chemists believe sour milk
will play a prominent role in the
textile industry and are now mak
ing "lactic acid fibers" which are
mixed with wool fibers to make
many commercial products used
in military and commercial life.
The current crisis has created a
demand for wool that the domes
tic supply cannot meet the de
mands. This is where the produc
tion of lactic acid fibers can come
to the aid of national defense, for
the use of the artificial fibers will
make up for the shortage of wool
and help clothe our expanding
armed forces. Hat manufacturers
are enthusiastic over the new fi
ber material and will use from
500,000 to 1,000,000 pounds of the
fibers this year.
Still "Wrinkles."
Chemists suggest there are a
few slight "wrinkles which still
need ironing out. Some people be-
them, is strong in condemning the
paradox of giving the Chinese
government $100,000,000 when in
the same week tens of thousands
of barrels of gasoline are shipped
from Texas to Japan.
Jape Hate Reds.
On Russia, Young asserts that
"Tokyo and Moscow will never
agree on any treaty in any form.
Japan hates Russia and Russia
hates Japan. That mutual feeling
throttles at the outset any planned
negotiations. Russia's Siberian
force as a consequence remains a
permanent and potential threat,
necessitating the Japanese keep
ing their best armed, mechanized
and aviation fonts of a half mil
lion men, in Manchuria alone."
Young's latest and most popu
lar book, "Behind the Rising Sun,"
was published last May, while for
seven consecutive months from
July, Mt, to Jan. 1942, he had
articles on interesting affairs in
such magazines as Iteaders Digest,
Coronet, Ksquirc, and Arnerasia.
s
lieve that when the material is
wet they can detect a slight odor
the txlor of sour milk. .Another
slight flaw is that the populous
microbe family which inhabits the
world of milk and cheese won't
vacate it's premises just because
the old home has been disguised
as artificial fiber and made into
soldiers uniforms. Instead, they
keep right on working under thcf
delusion they are still making cot
tage cheese.
From a practical viewpoint of
more interest to the farmer, the
manufacture of lactic acid fitters
on a commercial scale would fur
nish extra cash income for sour
milk, heretofore used mostly as
hog feed. This extra income, com
ing at a time of high taxes, labor
shortages, and other handicaps,
would be of great help to mcst
farmers.
One exception would be the
sheep grower who would have to
compete with the maker f the
artificial fiber material when ell
ing his product. This competition,
sure to increase after the war,
could lower the price of wool con
siderably. The general belief, however, is
that we must win the war first
and that the artificial fiber ma
terial will help do this by allevi
ating the Bhcrtage of wool and
thus allow us to clothe a greatly
expanded army in shortest possi
ble time.
