HELPING KAISER WILHELM
Th.- Nebraskan has received a letter for the Forum column, and
ivjvited it as unpatriotic and unfit for publication in this newspaper.
The first sentence was enough to cause the paper to be rejected. It
was this: " The attitude is taken by some, that all people who io not
stand behind the government in its proecuiion of the war apainst
Germany, are unpatriotic."
The people of Jh? United Slates are its government. The people
of :he United States are warring upon Germany. The Nebraskan
believes that not some, but all real Americans believe those people
ur.pairioiic who do not support the nation hi the war.
The writer of the Forum lettrr states that he do-s not believe the
people wanted war when it was declared. Because he did not have an
opportunity to vote against war he says that he has been double
crossed. Therefore he will join forces with the kaiser and try to
work against his own government.
The issue is a plain one. Everyone who retards or seeks to retard
in any way pushing the war to a successful conclusion as soon as pos
sible, is an ally of Germany. Kaiser William must get a good oval of
comfort from the knowledge that there are a few su!i in the United
States. The Nebraskan. however, will not give 'he emperor any solace
by printing the letter.
THE REAL GIFT
Convoc ation this morning will be d-votel to the Red Cross society,
an organization uhich shouid er.liM in i's membership everyone con
nected with the University. Memorial hall should be crowded w;t'.i
cjudents. It probably will not be. be.ause of the lack of publicity
given the Convocation, and yet The NYbra-kan hopes that everyone
who can will spend the half hour in learning about the society and
enrolling as an active worker or a supporter of it.
We have not learned well enough yet. how to op n our hearts and
our purse strings. One of the greater aj peals made to the students
was that before Thanksgiving, when the fund was collated for the
prisoners in the war camps of Europe. Nebraska respond-"-.!, but not
o well as should have been done.
The call is being made at the present time for Mudetrs of the
l"niversity to he'r. the society that is undertaking to support for two
reais the Fren h war orphans. Some have responded, but again the
response has not bw-n so whole-hearted and f-ee as it should have
J.een. Net yet have t-je people of Nebraska Iniversity learned to
make that gilt whi-h is the most worth while, and sometimes the
only one worth wr;i the cift that requires a 'acrifice.
And now ihe Red Cross society, ar organization whose work is of
the most vital importance, wholly uns-lfish, wholly humanitarian is
cnV.iv.e. Let us no that th call will be answered 'o th- full. Espe
ria'ly is it necessary that those who have not yet done something real
for ihe nation in the ar. who hav- r.ot yet made the sacrifice of :he:r
own interests to bear arms, will help in these other enterprises.
one Ttjay apjroarh -n und r-tandir e of the spiritual meaning of
ijf, ; or:e ir.ay so far towards attainine that broad sympatiiiny which
is in a soul that goes out to the ls of others, only from a service
that ii.volves a Ka'-rifice. Many Nebraskan? have learned the lesson.
All rr.ust arn it le-lore the ar ends, if it continues very long. The
greater joy oms 'o thote who have learned it. and are giving of
themselves for these great fausf-.

Tlii Delta Theta was organized some

chapters, one of which is located
somewhere in the city of Lincoln. It
has some members, a housv to live
in, and food to drink. We know that
there is a chapter here because w e I
saw their cret at Pan Ilel the other
night. They have an Innocent for
i next year, and a great deal of hope.
We do not know, but we have heard

I very regularly, and really love their
teachers which ones, we do not know.
Several of the brothers having gone to
