WAY OF LEARNING.
Acknowledged ignorance Is the be
ginning of wisdom. One who has
never learned to say "I do not know"
has not passed the kindergarten stage
of education. He who poses as edu
cated, as' the knower of all there is
to know about rollglon, politics, or
University removal, put it down that
he will never stir the world as a
thinker. Great thoughts enter only
the habitations of the .intellectually
humble.
WE LIVE IN DEEDS.
We live in deeds, not years; in
thoughts, riot breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs.
He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest,
acts the best.
Philip James Bailey.
THE ONE STAR OF HOPE.
Six weeks ago the German people
were at peace with all the world.
Following the downfall of Napoleon
III, they had risen to wealth and pros
perity. Civilization was at its best.
Suddenly the hour of peace, industry
and Bclence turns into a night of deso
lation and blood.
And why? The "war lord" had
spoken. Royal cousins had quarreled.
We learn that the German com
manders are willing to sacrifice 100,
000 men to. capture Paris. A matter
of mathematics.
Pray tell who are these authorities
who can use men as pawns and nine
pins? Has not each of those boys a
soul, a destiny? Are men to die like
cattle that generals may win glorj?
From the Hps of the maimed living
and the cold dead "mowed down like
wheat" comes a groan: "In the name
of patriotism .the Sings have played
us false. Oh, remaining comrades,
build ye a free government!"
Autocracy has had its day. This
begun by autocracy may yet turn into

a war of revolution by the people.
Civilization cannot forever rest at the
mercy of military despotism. The
bipod-drenched masses of Europe -will
littlp longer permit their welfare to
be the plaything of czars, kaisers ana
omnerors. If this world-wan can
awake a world democracy It will, In
deed, not have been In vain.
A SCIENTIFIC AGE.
In this age of science we have
heaped up great Intellectual riches of
the pure scientific kind. Our mental
coffers are fairly bursting with our
stores of knowledge of material
things. But what will It profit us If
we gain the whole world and lose our
own souls? Must our finer spiritual
faculties, whence come 'our love, our
reverence, our humility, and our ap
preciation of the beauty of the world,
'atrophy? "Where there is no vision,
the people perish." Perish for want
of a clear perception of the higher
values of life. Where there is no
vision, no Intuitive perception of- the
great fundamental trutbs of the inner
spiritual world, science will hot save
us. In such a case our civilization is
like an engine running without a head
light. Spiritual truths are ppiritually
discerned, material and logical truths
all the truths of the objective world
are intellectually discerned. The
latter give us the keys of power and
the conquest of the earth, but the
former alone can save us save us
from the materialism of a scientific
age. John Burroughs.

THE FORUM
MODERN WAR THE MODIFICATION
OF CANNIBALISM.
Modern var is the atavistic survival
of cannibalism, buttressed by modern
inventions which swallow young,
wholesome flesh instead of literally
eating it up. Just as the present
style of feminine dress is a develop
ment of the .Balkan or Scotch or
French rustic styles, the difference
only lying in the aesthetic touch con
tributed by the ingenuity of the art
ists, so modoq militarism survives
cannibalism in manners and morals.
Cannibalism utilized human flesh in
different ways according to the taste
of the victor, such as by boiling, fry
ing and smoking. Human flesh Is now
boiled by the submarine torpedo, fried
by the explosion of the floating mine
and smoked by the sharpnel.
The soldier's flesh Is always first-
class. No animal flesh can be com
pared to it in point of delicacy. In
deed, that flesh is always derived
from the best of the nation, i. e., the
youth of the country, because each
candidate for the army is examined
by the physicians after being culled
from the mass by the trained eye of
the recruiting sergeant If one is not
In full health, he is rejected. Only
the best and the strongest are taken.
The old, the sick, the women and
children only are left. They are not
wanted, for the cannibalistic cannon.
It is strange to say that human
fleBh is not nutritious to the victors
in battle, but sustains and strength
ens those who dwell far away from
the slaughter-house in palaces made
by those victims for their safety.
These royal parasites are nourished
not only- by the blood of the victim,
but also by the tears of the suffering
survivors such as fathers, mothers,
wives and children.
Although cannibalism was long ago
abolished and prohibited in the sphere
of civilization, yet its offspring mod
ern war through the representatives
of monarchy who send savants in in
ternational law and diplomacy to The
Hague to adopt the rule of the Prince
of Peace only to return to their re
spective countries laughing in their
sleeves, remains unchanged. Let us
hope the eyes of the people will be
opened to the demand for the aboil
tion of modern cannibalism in the
name of civilization.

THE NEVV COMMANDANT
SPOKE TO OLD CADET8
His Policies Will Be Much a Were
Those of Lieutenant Bowman,
the Retiring Commandant.
Commandant Parker met with tho
old men Monday afternoon in the
chapel. The meeting was Informal,
merely an introduction of the lieuten
ant to the men. Lieutenant Parker
remarked that he Intends to carry out
the same policies in drill that were
followed last year.
The new men will be drilled and
given the rudiments of marching in
recruiting companies apart from the
old men. Ex-Colonel Kramer will
have complete charge of the recruit
ing companies with competent drill
masters, assisting him. All new men
will fall In these recruiting companies
and as fast as they prove profllclent
will bo transfsrred to regular com
panies. The following schedule for this
week for both old and new men has
been drawn up:
Tuesday, September 22 Old men
men will report at 5:00 p. m. in full
uniform in regular formation on
Twelfth street. New men will report
In the chapel for lecture.
Wednesday, September 23 New
men will report in the Armory for as
signment to recruiting companies.
Old men will form In their regular
companies, when rifles and equip
ment will be given to them.
Commandant. Parker again warns
the new cadetn against buying Becond
nand uniforms, which must be in
spected -and passed by himself, and
will not be allowed only in exceptional
cases. Permission to get second-hand
uniforms must be obtained from the
commandant before buying.

Jean Leon Jaures.
"A war of aggression is not a war
in which it is a proud thing to die,"
said President Wilson, "but a war of
service Is one in which it Is a proud
thing to die." The glory of dying in
such a war belongs to Jean Leon
Jaures, socialist leader of France. Ho
fell in a war of service, a war against
war. He lost his life in attempting to
save from the consequences of war
thousands of such deluded fanatics a3
the one who turned upon and slew
him. It would not be. right to say
that Jaurea was the victim of an in
dividual. His slayer was but the in
strument of a murderous superstition,
sustained and fostered by selfish in
terests. Jaures fell because there
prevails in France, as elsewhere, the
notion that superstitious chauvinism
is patriotism. In trying to show the
folly of that superstition, in endeavor
ing to make clear the wickedness of
such doctrines as "my country, right
or wrong," in the midst of an effort to
save his country he was. struck down.
Peace has her martyrs and heroes as
well as her glorious victories. A
place among these martyr heroes be
longs to Jean Leon Jaures. The Pub
