Kntered at the postofflce at Lincoln,
Nebraska, as second-class mail matter
under the act of Congress of March 3,
1879.
The University of Nebraska should
fly a Cornhusker service flag. The
University of Missouri has recently
finished a Tiger banner with 861 stars,
and the University of Kansas is con
ducting a campaign for information
about her student soldiers iu order
that she, too. may in this way honor
her men in the war. Nebraska has
probably one thousand men in Uncle
Sam's service; a very incomplete list
in the hands of the alumni secretary
lists over seven hundred of them.
Why not complete the honor roll and
make a flag in recognition of the Corn
husker army?
Probably because University women
were uot sufficiently advised of the
pressing necessity of their services in
making bandages lor the Red Cross
during the drive to complete Lincoln's
shipment, only fifty responded yester
day to the call. Today this number
should and will be quadrupled. It is
not necessary to stress the fact that
hospitals in France are direly in need
of bandages, in order to drive Ne
braska co-eds to do their duty. It is
simply necessary that they know what
is expected of them and that they
should now know. The Red Cross
rooms in Nebraska hall are open to
day and every day this week from 9
until 5 o'clock.
gifts from relatives when they real
ized that there were thousands of pa
triotic women and girls doing their
best to see that no soldier should be
without that almost indispensable ar
ticle in this climate.
And these are the sweaters that, ac
cording to the little German lies, are
going to pawnshops, are being sold
to soldiers at high prices, are being
appropriated by officers, are being di
verted to any use save that for which
they are intended!
Besides one of the strongest and
best-coached football teams in the
country, Nebraska has the champion
stock judging team, as decided at the
International Live Stock Exposition,
where the Cornhusker team took first
place in a contest with twelve leading
universities. It is a fine thing that
Nebraska, besides showing an in
creased zeal in the pursuit of cultural
things, can succeed as well also in the
other activities which go to make up
college life. It shows that the Uni
versity, while accepting the grave re
sponsibility placed upon her by. the
war, is nevertheless keeping alive
those interests which are essential to
the fullest expression of her purpose.
The forecast in the press that the
greatest offensive drive Germany has
attempted since her plunge into
France in 1914 is impending should
mean something to University . stu
dents. Whatever success may accom
pany it, whether it result in utter fail
ure or a temporary setback for the
allies, is not the point. Successful or
unsuccessful, it will be a drain upon
the strength of France and England,
now already sapped by the extension
of their activities to Italy. It will
mean that America must assume piore
expeditiously, if possible, her place
on the allied front in France and on
the Piave line. It will mean that at
home we must devote ourselves with
more energy, with more sacrifice,
with more devotion, to our cause.

Colonel Roberts Tells Cadets of
Essentials of Successful

A TRUE SWEATER STORY
(Chicago Herald)
There have been so many lying
"sweater stories" circulated by per
sons In sympathy with Germany that
a lot of people no doubt took particu
lar pleasure In reading the true one
that came from Camp Grant the other
day.
It told of ten thousand hand-knitted
sweaters, warm and comfortable and
rejoicing the eye, that had arrived
there and been distributed among the
soldiers. It told of how pleased they
were to see them and what a lot of
solid service they expected to get out
of them. It told of the gratification
of men who had not received such
Colonel Roberts, commandant of the
cadets, gave a talk to the officers of:
thfj Cadet regiment in the chapel '
Trtesday afternoon duriing drill hour,'
especially for the benefit of those who j
enlist for war service. He spoke on
various points which touch the life of
the average soldier, and emphasized ,
the importance of every one main-1
taining good health and cultivating
self-control.
Good health at all times, it was
pointed out, was a great aid in per
mitting the individual to store up vi
tality that would carry him through !
unhealthful conditions that often are
the lot of the soldier. He particularly
stressed the great value of fresh air
and exercise, warned against over
strain.
Self-control was spoken of as being
one of the most important things for
the army man, whether he he private
or commander. Maintaining a good
temper and a general cheerful dispo
sition was stressed as being great
essentials under the head of self-con
trol.
Of particular value was the
suggestion in regard to communica
tion with those at home and with the
chaplains of the camp, in cases of
homesickness. The talk was one
which many of the men will remem
ber and appreciate, especially afteer
going into service.
