friends nor its enemies believe. It
does not even believe Itself. Prus
sian speech Is a mere means of disguis
ing its purpose. How' tan there be a
parley between unfaith on its part and
unbelief on ours?
Prushlanism's only absolution Is
restitution. Its only symbol must be
"Surrender." Either surrender to tbe
forces of tho world which It has out
raged or surrender to its subject peo
ples which it has deceived.
The people of Germany can again
rise to the height of credibility in the
world by trampling upon the dead
body of autocracy. When the people
of Germany cry "Let us have peace;"
we shall listen. As long as her voice
Is the voice of Prusslanlsm, we can
not hear.

A CHANGE IN VALUES
The demand for college trained men
and women seems to be greater to
day than it has ever been before.
Girls whose training in home eco
nomics is not nearly finished are be
ing asked to work next summer demon
strating methods of conservation of
food throughout the state. Men with
one or two years of agricultural train
ing are needed in various departments
ot farm work. The laboratories in
Washington and elsewhere are asking
for technically trained men and wom
en. Members of Nebraska home eco
nomics classes will demonstrate dif
ferent kinds of war breads In the
grocery stores of Lincoln tomorrow
afternoon. Among other things that
is proving the commercial vlue of
home economics training.
It has not been long since many
people, particularly business men and
women, looked askance at teaching
boys and girls "what they should be
fought at home by their parents."
There are a lot of conservative school
boards who even yet do not have
home economics and manual training
in the curriculums of their schools.
They declare that such training is
impractical. They seem to believe that
all their daughters will learn from
such a course will be how to make
candy rH cake, that their sons will
waste time and money fashioning
taborets and other unnecessary arti
cles. The war is showing the error of
such reasoning. , These people who
believe higher education unnecessary
are turning to the college men and
women of the country to save them
in this crisis. Even hospitals are of
fering special inducement to secure
"college graduates."
"This is the day when the univer
sity people are coming Into their own,"
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman emphasized
yesterday morning at Convocation.
"Make the most of your opportunity,"
he added, "for to do your part well,
you must have a large vision of life."
"LET US HAVE PEACE"
So spoke the master militarist of
America three and fifty years ago.
So say we after viewing the resolation
of three and a half years of the worst
warfare the earth has ever known.
Let us have peace Just as soon as
the broken sword of Prussianism is
tendered in unconditional surrender.
Detesting war, we are forced to be
lieve in a war which became neces
sary to regain peace for the world.
Uenpecting peace, we protest against
a pseudo-peace which the enemies of
nk'uJ iuay use as a preparation for
renewed war.
If Might is God and Srhrecklichke't
is its Prophet, then Prusslanlsm is
Justified. Welcome peace and wel
come the shackles which shall bind
the world. But If Euch a standard is
wrong, then Germany is wrong and
we dare not submit or quit until her
power is no longer a menace. Let us
have peace, but let it be a peace be
tween peers. The only peer of democ
racy is democracy. When Prussian
iim flouted itsowa royal bonded word
us a "scrap of paper" it forever ad-'
Jured all right to enter into another
treaty with self-respecting peoples.
When Prusslanlsm speaks now, no
matter how fair the words, neither its
TO HOLD SPECIAL

Famous Aviatrix Will
Speak
A special Convocation will be held
today in the Temple theatre at 11
o'clock. Sergeant Edwards, one of

the United States for her work for the
allied cause: She is said to be one
of the best woman orators In this
country.
Sergeant Edwards, after escaping
once from a German prison camp, was
recaptured and placed In solitary con
finement. He escaped a second time
and after living for two weeks on
oats arrived behind the allied lines
where he had a hard time proving his
identity, as. he had been reported
killed.

the auditorium and at the Christian
Church this evening at 8 o'clock, both
of them speaking at both places. No
admission will be charged. The com

The Vogue for
Low Shoes
Kvon this early in the season there's a noticeable
request for both men's and women's low shoes. An
early Easter has advanced shoe buying considerably,
which is probably the reason y so many are choos
ing oxfords, selecting spats to wear with them
during Spring's chilly days.
How fully we sensed this demand, long before it came,
is shown by the splendid oxford stocks which are ready
now. In women's styles particularly, combinations of
fabrics and leather are very much in evidence, tho there
are many all leather models. Styles are very pretty and
graceful. The men's models are neat, clean-cut appearing.
Both are included in all of the test new Spring colors.
Whatever you desire you can come here now and choose
satisfactorily for
Our Spring stocks embrace every
good style in oxfords for both men .
and women, at moderate prices.
