EARNESTNESS
I am in earnest. I will not equivo
cate; I will not excuse; I will not
retreat a single inch; and I will be
heard. William Lloyd Garrison.
And it came to pass that a little
Methodist school was soundly
spanked.
Don't forget the mid-semesters this
week. You freshmen had better break
all dates. The girls will appreciate it
and you need the time.
CAN YOU PASS?
There are two parts to an education.
One has to do with the efficiency of
the mental machinery; the other, with
ideals of the heart. For one the Uni
versity primarily exists; for the other,
the world is its school. One is rough
ly measured in class-room grades; the
other, in intangible feelings, moods
and dreams.
And think not that this second part
is limited to a class. Many a servant
girl, though in the mental world
clumsy, in the realm of heart ideals
is a queen.
Would you examine yourself? A
University of Chicago faculty mem
ber has compiled a few questions:
"Has education given you sympathy
with all the good causes and made you
espouse them?
"Has it made you public-spirited?
"Has it made you a brother to the
weak?
"Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
' "Do you know what it is to be a
friend yourself?
"Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman in the eye?
"Do you see anything to love in a
little child?
"Will a lonely dog follow you In the
street?
"Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn Just as compatible with
high thinking as piano playing or golf?
"Can you look out on the world and
see anything except dollars and cents?
"Can you look into a mud puddle by
the wayside and see a clear sky?
"Can you see anything in the pud
dle but mud?"
Answer the questions "yes" or "no."
Cut them out of this paper. Keep
" them and the answers two years.
Then examine yourself again and see

Ben' than called down by the

TELLS WAR STORY.
(Continued from page 1
time foreigners were ordered out of
the country within twenty-four hours.
On Saturday, the 1st of August,
mobilization was ordered. Everything
went off like clock work. Other than
the excitement manifested on the first
day of the Kriegszustand no excess
of excitement was shown, although
theTe was a mania for catching Rus
sian spies. Later when Germany had
declared war on France, and England
on Germany, Americans were 6ubject
to a little discomfort, being often mis
taken for English Bpies. The news
papers then came, out cautioning the
people against discourtesy to the
Americans, reminding them that the
Americans as well as the English
themselves spoke the English lan
guage, and telling them that America
was a great country and a valuable
friend. The only manifestation of vio
lence witnessed during their whole
stay in Berlin was on the morning
after the declaration of war by Eng
land. That morning, the windows of
the English Embassy were broken.
During the wild scramble to get
out of the country, the greatest of
kindness and courtesy was shown
Americans. Great lines of tourists
awaited their turn at the American
Embassy and American Relief Com
mittee to purchase tickets for special
trains. They had secured passage on
a North German Lloyd steamer, but
their money was refunded because all
German shipping had stopped. An
example which proves the isolation
of peopte in Germany from the outside
world ia shown by the impression
everyone had that it was unsafe to
get passage upon an English vessel
because of the belief that English
shipping had also been driven to cover.
The special train which took them
from Berlin to Rotterdam took thirty
hours to make the run four times as
long as the regular schedule when
they arrived they found Rotterdam
so crowded with tourists and refugees
from belligerent -countries that they
went on to the Hague, where they re
mained until the 15th of October.
Upon that date they set sail for New
York on a Holland American steam'er,
closely followed through the channel
by a email boat which was to pick
up the pieces should the steamer
strike one of the numerous mines
with which the channel was strung.

WHO WANT WAR!
A vanity girl and the tinned-goods
man,
One with feeble excuse for a brain
Craving the show of a uniformed beau;
The other whose god is gain, just
gain
These be the souls that the war-flames
fan!
A hot-headed boy with a painted
painted dream
Springtime's promises and life in the
bud!
With his youthful brag of death for
the- flag,
As flags were vampires to feed on
blood!
Tis for his kind that the eaglet,
scream!
Two chancellors wrangling over a
patch
Of land, who play on the ' pride of
race
And a country' need for their lying
screed
But how will they look God in the
face
Who fight their battles with ne'er a
scratch?
An aged king on a tottering throne,
His dead behind him, and death be
fore, With little to choose if he win or lose,
A blank in history but for war
Ah, such are the demon's very ownj
And the sober-minded who dare not
shirk,
Perforce, or fearing to seem afraid,
Must harvest the spoils of their bar
ren toil:
The image of God, defiled, bestrayed,
While the war-fiend laughs for his
handiwork!
