College .men are not mere bystand ers: they are vitally concerned. They comprise a large part of the pawns that the militarists would sacrifice.

It should stand for national dignity and self control. Patriotism has been made the excuse for foolish aggression and senseless fears. It should be the high est representation of a nation's ideal of social betterment. The hero to cur minds has been the officer in uniform waving a crimson sword. He is rather the man in overalls. Wo have seen a system of inter national, relationship founded on fear and we have prided ourselves upon .u f that wo 'were guided by tlio lawt .fcv - We have witnessed year by year the ever-mounting crop of dread noughts and of cannon-ana we nave plumed ourselves upon the fact that we were rather producing harvesters and rails. We have seen the youth or every country locked up in barracks and drilling on parade grounds, while the young men of America have been battling with the forces of nature and . finally, as the culmination of all this senseless system, we have seen the hand of every nation, like a cinematograph desperado or a bowery gangster, go to its hip, and recklessly, without rhyme and reason, start the slaughter which is but murder, and which has transformed most of the civilized world into a human sham bles. And we have prided ourselves upon the fact that we could never fall into a system of such egregious folly. And now when no danger threatens our coast, when all nations are look ing to us as a friend not as a foe when the great possibility of bringing about the world's peace seems to be nnlv a o uestion of almost a few short ntv.a when all eves are turned towards us and all nations are half ready to have U3 show that interna tional relations can be based on mutual understanding and mutual re- sDect rather than upon fear and upon aecression. at this time when never in the history of the world was there such a call for patience and for pru dence. there are some who would have us assume an attitude of mingled sus nicion and fear! The hideous fallacy of military force Khould. by the events of the last five months, be for ever driven from the human mind. Peace does not come from bayonets or from bullets. Their children are rapine and murder. Bankruptcy and explosion can only follow. At crucial times in our country's history, hundreds of thousands of young men have been willing to lay down their lives in war. Now at this crucial time in the world's history there is as great a need to resist armament caused by the fear of war. It is not a time for party, for business or for religious differences to come to No bluffing! Cornhusker pictures Monday, January 18.

Professor Buck made this state ment to approve of an editorial m yesterday's Nebraskan, which con demned "physical abuse and mental torture" in initiations, declaring that such things had no place in such a complete and dignified ceremony. The editorial has aroused considerate comment among fraternity men, some condemning the practice and others upholding it as a necessary evil. From what can be gathered, however, it seems that the majority condemn the practice. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Fin land. A large number of new and colored slides will be shown.
