Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln,
Nebraska, as second-class mall matter
under the act of Congress or March 3,
1S79.
In the flood of French scientific, cul
tural and literary traditions which we
may expect our soldiers and our en
voys to bring back to us after the
war, there will be at least one thing
which will make up for a number of
the unavoidable fads. That is the
Gallis conception of man's attitude
toward his fellowman. The Frank
was well named, and the Frenchman
of today is emotionally and constitu
tionally as open of mind and heart as
his name implies. The quick response
to impulse, the unconcealed indulg
ence in sentiment, the fervor and ar
dor of the French nature, betoken a
sincerity that is well-nigh all-redeeming.
It seems to The Nebraskan that
in comparison with the Frenchman
the American is too much of a stole;
is too calloused by the long stern con
trol of emotion, a trait which he has
inherited from his British ancestors.
American self-reliance, and American
silent fortitude, are steering qualities
interwoven with the conception of our
nation, but they can well be tempered1
by a more responsive, franker sympa
thy for the interests of others. Whole
some sentiment is a good thing.
From now until late tomorrow af
ternoon the hope will be uppermost
in our hearts that Nebraska defeat
Notre Dame. And it should be, for
upon our hopes, and their expression
in moral and vocal support, depends
the outcome of the game.
It is to bring this thought home to
both the team and tte big body of
rooters that the rally and parade is
scheduled for tonight. There will be
nothing half-hearted or mechanical
about the events this evening; the
mass meeting will start on Number
One at 7 sharp, and from then on
things will sweep along in about the
same way that the team will sweep
down the field tomorrow. The talks
will be few in number and they will
be snappy. Cornhusker hopes and
Cornhusker determination will be
fused into the indomitable fighting
spirit which will make defeat a re
mote possibility.
We. know and Notre Dame knows
that Nebraska has the latent power
to defeat her. It is up to us to bring
out that power to the maximum and
keep it going until it has conquered
the foe. The responsibility for re
trieving last year's defeat rests upon
the student body, and tonight is the
time to vitalize the Nebraska spirit
that will win.
September, with its Indian summer,
has slipped from us unawares and
brisk October has almost gone. We
have been so busy with our worries
and our cares that we have not al
lowed ourselves to enjoy the fairest
of the seasons.
It is to be regretted that studests
do not take time to appreciate autumn.
These bright days are like our years
at college:: they are come and gone
before we know it. We worry to
much in the first place, and when we
do seek diversion, we go to the thea
tre instead of devoting our spare mo
ments to recreation out-of-doors.
There is nothing that will refresh the
mind and invigorate the body like a
swift walk along a country road in
autumn. There Is an inspiration in
the blue sky and swiftly-fleeting
clouds that few actors on the stage
can bring to a tired heart.
Did you ever stop to thing that the
lesson of life which the seasons teach
us is never more clearly revealed than
in autumn? The things of nature,
born In the spring and flourishing
richly in the summer, feel now the
swift approach of the white winter of
fold age and death. They are in their
I second childhood; they adorn them
selves with the brighest and richest
',ot colors; they hark back to the en
wgy and rest of youth.
- In the gaiety of nature at this de-
dining period there should be for us
at least contagious exhilaration, if not
the inspiration, to look at the future
in a happier, more contented mood.

LIBERTY LOAN
How vital to the success of our
country" in this war, how absolutely
necessary to the success ant the safe
ty and the well-being of our soldiers
and sailors who are offering their
lives to their country is the success
of the liberty loan is well expressed
in the following extracts from the
speech of Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo made before the American
Bankers' association at Atlantic City:
"It is upon the treasury of the
United States that every demand in
time of war focuses, because every
thi goes back to the gold pile.
"Every dollar that is paid to a sol
dier, every pair of shoes he puts on
his feet, every piece of cothing he
wears, every gun he carries, every
cartridge he fires, every 18-lnch shell
that is hurled from the monster guns
of our battleships, and every shovel
full of coal that is consumed in their
boilers everything that touches this
war and involves a government expen
diture depends upon the money in
the United States treasury.
"The problem of the American treas
ury is the problem of the American
people; it is the problem of keeping
treasury snpplied with the means to
carry forward the great business of
the nation under the direction of the
Commander in Chief of the army and
navy of the United States, your Presi
dent whose glorious stand for Amer
ica's honor and America's rights, jus
tice, civilization, and democracy have
made him one of the greatest of the
world's outstanding figures.
"The problem is twofold: To supply
essential credits to the allied govern
ments, because it is vital to our cause
that their strength and credit shall be
sustained; and, secondly, to meet our
own requirements."

No Time for Hilarity
"This is not an hour for hilarity.
It is an hour for serious contempla
tion. The query this war will settle
is whether, when the nations are re
stored to amity, we will ever enjoy
the independence we did formerly,"
Mr. Fairbanks asserted.
"We should learn to appreciate
what we owe the soldier," Dr. Jeffrey
said. "War is a terrible thing," he
admitted, "but there are some things
that are worse than war. When a
country reaches a place where it is
dictated to by a country of lower
ideals."
"When a country tells us that we
can paint our ships to look like
barber poles and can send only one
such ship into a certain harbor a
week, then it is time for us to rise
and tell Germany that no country is
big enough to tell America where she
can go, and how and when," Dr.
Jeffrey continued.
"Many of our boys have marc' d
away. What are we to do? If mis
war is to be won by America and
her allies it will be because there
is just as great patriotism at home
as there is at the front. There is
not one of us but who can sacrifice
enough to buy one liberty bond. Let
it be said that not all the patriotism
of the University of Nebraska was
found in the fields of France, but
that every student sacrificed some
thing to help."
Professor Le Ressignol explained
how the expression "doing your bit"
originated. It came from the front
in France. When a soldier has been
in the trenches, has "gone over,"
risked his health and life, been se
verely wounded perhaps, or won the
Victoria Cross for bravery, then peo
ple say of him that he has done
"his bit."
"The University has been accused
by stupid people of being unpatri
otic," Professor Le Ressignol conclud
ed. "Let us show them that such a
criticism is unjust."
