Following a custom established
twenty years ago the University
chorus will sing the ".Messiah" at
the annual Christmas program in
Memorial hall tomorrow. In all these
twenty years there has never been a
time when (he hope, the faith, th
promise of peace, contained in this
great oratorio was more in place than
now. It is our Christmas duty to re
dedicate ourselves to the task of
bringing someday, somehow, peace on
earth, good will toward men forever
more, and we will go far to find finer
inspiration than there is in listening
to the "Messiah."
Whatever opinion students have ex
pressed about the war-time Corn
husker is decidedly against this plan
and who of all people should have any
decided opinion about Cornhusker
plans but the students, the persons wno
will buy it? They would like to see
emphasized, of course, the military
tide of University life, for all are
proud of what Nebraska and her sons
and daughters have done. In a time
like this the war should dominate the
yarbook just as it dominates every
thing else, but it should not gobble the
book up. The Cornhusker is a stuaeni
yearbook, devoted primarily to student
interests, to the portrayal of their ac
tivties, to the fixing of their identities.
This is not only of interest to those in
school, it is also of vital interest to the
Nebraska soldiers whose devotion to
their college has not lessened and who
are naturally as anxious to learn of her
activities as of their own. It is just as
inconceivable, from both the point of
view of i-he student in school and the
soldier in the war to neglect the cam
pus side of the 1918 Cornhusker as it
is to eliminate all mention of the Uni
versity's military activities.
What is needed is not the peace-time
Cornhusker, nor is it the proposed war
time book. But there can well be a
combination of the good ideas a Corn
husker trimmed of all its frivolity and
much of its reptition of names and
fares but a live, representative stu
dent yearbook, dedicated to Nebras
ka's soldiers.
consumption but for Americans as
well. It pictured the Americans as
lino, clean-cut, daring young fellows,
who had surrendered only after all
hone of retreat was lost. But these
bravo boys were the innocent vic
tims of circumstance, grabbed up by
a heartless government and forced
into the army to fight for a cause
which not one of them could Justify.
Asked by the fat German commander
we may imagine he was pudgy, since
the story emphasizes so strongly the
stalwartness of our men the reason
why America was at war with Ger
many, not one of them could answer,
according to dispatch. All in all, it
was a corking good story for a hungry
German mother to read it would dull
her powers of perception and increase
her determination to see it through.
But the obviously false story of a
group of American soldiers, none of
whom could give a single reason for
fighting Germany, is tainted news indeed.

In conclusion Dr. Newens gave an
interpretation of John W.- Jones who
was the homlicst man in town. Dur

times applauded.
ART LECTURE AT
GALLERY TONIGHT
Prof. Blanche Grant Will Tell of
Artists Work in War
Time
Prof. Blanche Grant, associate pro
fessor of drawing and painting, will
lecture on "Artists' Work in War
Times" in the Art Gallery tonight at
8:15 o'clock. She will tell of some of
the interesting things that artists are
doing in the war; such as camouflage
work and will discuss the work of fa
mous cartoonists. She will use the
interesting collection of posters which
she collected on her trip east last
summer to illustrate the lecture.
The collection of posters includes
some or the best worn oi iamous ar
tists, both those of our country and of
foreign countries. The famous "Cardi
al Mercier Protege La Belique" is per
haps the most widely known of the
war posters. The collection which she
use will remain i nthe gallery for one
week and then will be started on a
circuit including the larger of Ne
braska towns. The money received
from the exhibits will be donated to
the Red Cross.
Xo admission will be charged for
the lecture this evening. Ten cents
will be charged for the poster exhibit
and all profits will be donated to the
Red Cross.
GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Americans who have seen the evil
resujt of insidious German "flress
agent work" in Russia and in Italy
can well believe the statement of Gen
eral Tershing that this propaganda is
more formidable than von Hinden-
burg's army. But few of us realize
that a dangerous campaign is being
carried on in America as well as
across the sea.
It fs not to the I. W. W.. to the
"pacifists" that we should look for the
work of the kaiser's gossiper. The
system is too subtle, too finely ex
pressed, for that. As Charles Edward
Russell told a Lincoln audience
month ago, the expressions of Senator
LaFollette, the report of "peace meet
ings" are valuable to the kaiser's pub
licity man in allied and netural na
tions but they are of little use in this
country, where the public is thor
oughly awake to Germany's methods
It is the little things, tLe bits of news
the seemingly trivial occurences, that
the Prussian taints with slow-acting
poison in his effort to breed disloyalty
Every day, almost, you read some
thing in your newspaper, always a
foreign dispatch, which has escaped
the watchful eyes of the censor and
editor but which, we may be sure, has
the approval of the Wilhelmstrasse
publicity department. Examples of
these may easily be called to mind
You probably remember one in par
ticular about the capture of the first
American prisoners. The dispatch
came from Berlin, and it was evi
dently intended not only for Berlin

PEOPLE MUST CONSIDER .
WELFARE OF OTHERS
Dr. Adrian Newens Says War
Has Taught the Value of
Brotherhood
"The war has made us realize that
we no longer have the right to do as
we please. We must consider the ef
fect of our actions upon other people,"
Dr. Adrian Newens, director of the
University school of music, told an un
usually large convocation audience
yesterday morning at 11 o'clock in
Memorial hall. Dr. Xewens was only
recently elected to his position in Lin
coln. He formerly lived in Des Moines,
la. He is nationally recognized as a
reader of remarkable ability. His fa
mous interpretation of "A Message
from Mars," which he gave on the
Chautauqua platform, is known of
throughout the world.
No one has the right to say he is
doing his work for himself alone,
whether he be a professor, a student,
a business man. or a workman, Dr.
Newens said. The only place for such
a person is on the other side of the
von Hindenburg line, he asserted.
"Our relationship to one another is
developed through the idea of brother
hood," Dr. Newens summed up his ad
dress. "And the war has taught that
brotherhood means more than mem
bership in the same church or even in
the same nation."
Dr. Newens pointed out the responsi
bility of every individual. "There will
be no place in our government for the
