For This Issue
THE KAISER'S WISH
"Over optlmlHin tending to slow up
Fourth Liberty loan," reads the head
ing cf a dispatch from Washington.
If this I true, then the Kaiser's peace
offensive ha In part succeeded and
today be Is smiling aa he sits on the
roal throne In his palace at Potsdam.
The one thing for which he wishes Is
that America 6hould alow up her pun
ching activities In the belief that
peace is at hand.
We have been warned that the
peace offensive would be even more
dangerous to our welfare than the mil
ltary offensive and yet It seems the
warning has failed. The road to vic
tory Is long and hard and It is not
until the Hun has been driven from
every foot of allied territory that the
thought of terms should come.
The German retreat promise to be
tremendous. Events are shaping
themselves In a manner most encour
aging to all war leaders but winter Is
setting In and so far there are no
signs that the campaign will not go
Into next spring. In any event money
and more money is needed. Vat sums
must be paid for material and other
necessaries for future operations and
there must be a home-coming fund
of considerable proportions.
Those who are' at home must pay
the price in money as those who have
gone across will pay It with their lives
or their limbs. "Buy bonds until It
hurts." must be the slogan.
TO THE FRESHMEN
Buffeted this way and that by rules
and regulations, made one day and
changed the next, the freshmen this
year have found it exceedingly difficult
to fit themselves into the University
life. Some of them have become dis
couraged by the myriad customs and
traditions they are supposed to know
and many feel sure they will never be
at home within the campus gates.
As yet no opportunity has been
given the newcomers to mingle with
their classmates,- to meet their in
structors or to learn of the real spirit
of the University. This opportunity
will be given today when the first
year men will meet in the Temple the
atre and the women in Art hall at
eleve" o'clock for their annual con
vocations. At this time they will meet
the other members of their class and
learn of the University activities and
the opportunities which are open to J
them. They will learn what is ex
pected of them as first-year students
and in what" way they can gain the
most from their work in college.
Chancellor Hastings and Captain
. Maclvor will explain the work that is 1
before the men. Faculty women, the
president of Black Masque and lead
ers of co-ed activities will tell of the
opportunities before the women. Ev
ery freshman will find that the hour
spent in convocation today will bring
big returns during the year.
THE ONLY PEACE
It may seem a little early to talk of
peace terms, but it is not too early to
make clear to the central powers,' and
especially Austria-Hungary, that the
United States did not go to war
merely to avenge its injuries, but to
secure itself against attack for as long
a time as such security is humanly
possible. To leave these powers as
they were before the war, nursing
their vengeance and replenishing their
arms ,while the world goes about its
business of earning a peaceful living,
would be like driving a band of high
waymen back to their den and then
dissolving the pursuing posse. The
allied nations must stand together un
til a capture has been effected, and
then they must proceed to build a po
litical wall around these incorrigible
offenders from which they cannot es
cape during this generation. To listen
sympathetically to appeals in behalf
of "the people" who are now thrus't
forward by the military leaders on the
same generous theory that has made
them place French captives ahead of
the attacking battalions would be to
take a risk which no American polit
ical leader would dare to advise. Collier's.
VOTE TODAY
Men have fought and died for the
right of suffrage and women have
starved themselves to death in pris
ons that the members of their sex
might find sympathy in their strug
gle for the ballot. The right to vote
for the men and women who head the
University classes and who supervise
the college activities is a right, sacred
and inalienable to every student at
Nebraska.
Those who may vote must consired
it their duty to exercise the right and
to make sure that the man and women
elected for the responsible positions in
the University are not elected by an
over-zealous minority but by the Judg
ment of the majority. The crime of
voting for an unworthy candidate is
no worse than that of remaining in
different when a qualified candidate
may be defeated.
Men and women of every clasa
should vote at the Armory today be-

GO FOR THEM!
From the twenty-first of March to
the eighteenth of July the allies were
on the defensive and falling back.
Whenever the Germans struck they
won ground. Two more such pushes
aa carried them from St. Quentin to
within gunshot of Amiens and from
the Ailette to the Marne would have
put the allies in the mot desperate
position. Then Foch attacked the
Marne salient, took the initiative out
of Ludendorff's hands, and ever since
has been rolling the Germans back.
Now the Germans had substantially
the same army in August, when they
were losing, that they had In April,
when they were winning; and the
same generals. The allies had almost
the same army. Only a couple of hun
dred thousand fresh American troops
actually participated in the fighting.
They had pulled themselves together,
effected a better military organization,
made their means more responsive to
their will. Ten per cent did it.
Always It U Just that Inst ten per
cent that puts a thing over, and the
lat ten per cent is always ther If one
will only call It out and put It In action.
That Is the situation of the United
States In respect of this year's twen-tyfour-bllliondollar
war bill. It is
your situation right now personally
and Individually yours. Ten per cent
more will power; the fclxteenth ounce
of determlatlon; saying to yourself
"You've got to!" that Is what this
yenr' fiscal program'means for you;
what this Liberty Loan means.
Subscribe all you think you can pay
for In the next four months, and then
some, and take It out of your expendi
tures. Your expenditures are boches.

(Laugheer In C sharp). Honestly, I
don't see how he does all those
ridiculous things. Lucius Just roared!

"Gee! (other girl). From then on
until class takes up, we hear giggles
and 'uh huhs" and "yeah's" until we
move closer to the windows for air.
That's what some goofs get out of education.
HAND GRENADES
Who's heard that old pun that "cur
rent events deal with livewlre topics?"
One girl meets another in the few
minutes before a class, and after the
opening shot, this is the run of gab:
"Where'd you go last night?" (Water
melon smile.)
"O, listen; Lucius and I went to the
Rialto (the a' in Rlalto like 'aw'; you
Silence reigned and I forgot my
umbrella.
"THE ENIGMA"
Solomon, so the Bible says,
Was the wisest man by far
While Methuseleh's age was due
To never having owned a car;
And Daniel came from out the den
With never a bit of strife,
Which brings me to the problem
That has foiled me all my life.
There's a certain type of Parasite
That hangs about a class,
Who faintly has a half a hunch
Of all that comes to pass;
Who's gift of gab and flow of talk
Surpasseth all we've heard,
Yet this bluffer gets a high per uni
This flapping, hot air bird.
So I add another handle to
The li( of famous men,
IIe' a puzzle, a conuudoum.
He's a Daniel In the Den.
With' his line that makes King Solo
mon's best
Appear like so much bunk;
And the game he plays, much older
Than Methuselah's wardrobe trunk
I leave you a chance to figure It out
To see if your wits are keen,
And can reason the facts for I swear
to you now
I've washed my' hands of It clenn.
