YOUTH'S CASTLES
When a young men, flushed with
the eagerness of an idea, is told by his
professor that he holds radical theo
ries only because he is young, the stu
dent may know that his case is
" proved. The ideas of youth are as
right, in their time, as the wisdom of
age.
Exaggerated opinions and irrational
beliefs are the part of youth. All
young, men in all generations have
been told that Birnam wood could not
cometo Dunsinane, but they, in their
enthusiasm, have gone on believing
the incredible and so have made prog
ress possible.
Youth must build its castles, hunt
its gold. It is as natural for young
minds to find new paths as it is for
flowers to turn to the light, the un
fortunate to hope, or men to die for
something more valuable than their
lives. It is well that this is so. "While
youth retains its joyous heritage, the
world will not decay. University of
Washington Daily.
ALOHA
As the dance nears its end, and the
strains of Aloha ebb and swell, may
we not pause for a moment to do
honor t$ the author of this plaintive
melody ?
Queen Liliuokalani, "Queen Lil," is
dead. In the island where she was
born, the checkered career of a most
remarkable woman, has come to a
close. American newspapers of two
decades ago gave much space to this
woman, ever active in the cause of
her island country; always ready in
redressing what she believed wrongs
at the hands of white adventurers.
When the American flag was raised
over Hawaii Queen Li! kalani ceased
to exercise authority, but maintained
her place in the hearts of her former
subjects.
... To the college student she is per
haps best known as the author of
many native Hawaiian songs, the best
of which is the beautiful Aloha. Vis
itors to Hawaii will testify to the ap
peal of the melody played by the Ha
waiian band as the steamer slowly
leaves the shores of that peaceful is
land for the nurry and rush of the
"new" world.
So now it is "Aloha" for Queen
Liliuokalani, whose death marks the
passing of a long line of Hawaiian
royalty. Daily Iowan.
REGARDING CAMPUS CAMPAIGNS
"We are being campaigned to death.
When all the campaigns that are be
ing sprung on us are over we shall be
so surfeited with appeals that noth
ing under the sun, however impelling
the motive, will ever be able to move
us to do anything."
Is this a view that is prevalent
among all students? Speaking of
those we know, we should emphatical
ly say it is not. Those who do most,
'say least. When men, our friends and
kin, are standing ready to face the
future, whatever it may hold, even to
confront the one great adventure of
which no man tells, when men have
made 'sacrifices that beggar words
have gone "over the top" considering
it a privilege can we turn a deaf ear
to the one means by which we can
show our appreciation for what they
do?
We heard a letter read not long u,o,
a mother wrote her son, who had
asked her regarding his enlisting. The
one sentence of interest to us said
this: "Son, it Is better to die in body
than in soul go." No love on earth
can equal, can approach, mother love.
She was giving, giving till It hurt.
How much It hurt not even she could
tell. But she gave.
No war as Berious as this can bo
won without sacrifice. What each
should sacrifice he himself must say.
Some must sacrifice home, some fu
ture, some life itself, but we must all
sacrifice. The man who says he will
do nothing to help our government
and our soldiers is nothing less than
a traitor.
Campaigns will come; campaigns
must come. We hope they may come.
Let us lay aside the attitude of supine
complacence that seems to be present
in some. In any cause, if only It Is
worthy, "can we be more tender with
our dollar than the lives of our boys?"
Minnesota Daily.
WAR FASHIONS
The Sam Browne belt must go. A
heatrless war department has ruled
that this useless but highly ornamen
tal leather harness may not be worn
over their uniform by officers sta
tioned here, and many a youthful
heart is heavy in consequence. "It's
bad enough," wails one aggrieved
subaltern," to have to wear a tunic
with a standing collar instead of the
soft-roll collar the English use. They
might at least have left us our Sam
Brownes, so that we could try to look
halfway decent."
Courage, friends. It may all be a
mistake. The war has changed many
things, and it may have altered con
ceptions of military smartness as well.
For from Paris, the home of mode
and chic, comes a "daily fashion hint
from the front" that is upsetting. It
is is from Henri Barbusse's great
book, "Le Feu" recently published
in English as "Under Fire and de
scribes the winter costumes of a squad
of French territorials.
Hides, bundles of blankets, pieces
of cloth, knitted hoods, woolen caps,
fur caps, mufflers, wound around or
worn like turbans, headgear knit and
double knit, coverings and roofings
of tarred, oiled, or waterproofed
rapes and cowls black, or all the
colors once of the rainbow; all
these cover the men, well nigh obli
terating their uniforms as well as cov
ering their skins, making them look
immense and cumbersome. One of
them has slung over his back a square
of linoleum with a huge diapered pat
tern of white and red, which he found
in the middle of the dining room of
some temporary billet: it is Pepin
. . . Here bulges Barque's chest
protector, cut out of an eider-down
quilt, once pink, but now bleached and
mottled by dust and rain.
And our legs ' . . . Just now I
crept down, bent double, into out
dugout, a little low cellar, smelling of
damp and mold, where one stumbles
over empty preserve cases and dirty
bundles of rags, and where two
lengthy forms sprawled asleep while
in a candle-lit corner a kneeling figure
rummaged in a kit bag . . . Com
ing out, I saw legs framed in the
rectangular entrance: horizontal, vert
ical, oblique, spread about, doubled up,
intermingled, blocking the passage
and cursed by the passers-by. They
are a multifarious and multicolored
aggregation gaiters black and yel
low, leggings long and short, made of
leather, khaki, o rother waterproof
material; puttees of dark blue, light
blue, black, lavender, khaki, or un
bleached serge.
One begins to suspect that it took
something other than Sam Brownes
and soft-roll collars to light the Marne,
second Ypres, and the Somme. As
one correspondent remarked, watch
ing a regiment of poilus returning
from the trenchds before Verdun:
"Look at. that gang. They look like
tramps, and their idea of marching
would make Von Hindenburg weep.
The only thing they can do is fight
like the devil." Collier's Weekly
22. All students interested in dairy
ing are cordially invited.
