'War Bibles' Come of Age
(An Editorial)
Twenty veins ji;.r today, most (if us were pit her in
.Nwaddlino- clothes or unl.orn. 'c slttdents who were horn,
during t In- course ot t lie World war were known ns "war
Iniliios." Now, when we have outgrown the "teen age"
;ind have reached the age for considering seriously our'
respective places in society, world forces have plunged us
hack into the maelstrom of war-time activities. Again we
are "war hahies."
Students in American universities today, heedful of
the war signal that Armistice Day flashes, should lie
thankful Kurope's war clouds have hroken up temporarily.
If the .Munich pad had not hcen signed by Kurope's states
men, American youth would not he running to morning
classes. Chances are that we might- be waiting for the fatal
words of declaration of war by the United States. The
"war babies" would get to march with guns, loaded with
real bullets!
Have limes changed? Here is what Theodore Metcalfe,
Daily Xebraskati editor, wrote Iwenty years ago: "Stu
(bnts who do not march in the preparedness day parade
are dirty yellow cowards, ami their blood is as filthy as
di.sh water."
Last year. Kd Murray, Daily Xebrnskan editor, as
sorted: "The people didn't want to g-o into the last war.
J'hcy (lecled ilson on the platform that he would keep
us out of war. One month later we were in. The people
never want war. If ours is truly a democracy, why do we
have war.'''
Yes. times have changed, thanks to vigilant peace
movements and to a more alert public which has learned
1o weigh the facts. Propaganda played n tremendous part
in dragging 1 Ik United States into the last war. If we
"war babies" turn a deaf ear to the forces of propaganda,
we may be spared the fate of the young men and women
of 1 u ii decades ago.
It can be done. We must reaffirm our faith in democ
racy, the last ,M roiighold of tolerance and liberty and free
dom, to prove that the "Unknown Soldier" and the thoti
s.in Is he exemplifies did not fight and die in vain. That is
the mission w "war babies" have inherited. How shall
we perpetrate o;ir democratic institutions? War is the
brcciing ground for dictatorships. Peace is democracy's
sa! ilioii.
Police Discover Body
Of Harry L. Hassed
In Lawton Hotel
Harry L. Hassed, of Lusk, Wyo.,
a sophomore in Arts and Science
college of the University, was
found dead with a pistol lying be
side him Thursday afternoon in a
hotel at Lawton, Okl.
Hassed checked out of the Lin
coln Y. M. C. A. where he was liv
ing Monday, according to his
roommate. Bob Sloan, a univer
sity senior, of Omaha. Sloan said
that Hassed had requested him to
send his trunk and belongings to
him.
Lincoln police found that Hassed
had bought a railroad ticket for
Oklahoma City, saying that he
might go on to Houston. Police
in Lawton found no nethod of
identification on the body other
than the marks of a Lincoln laun
dry, through which Hassed was
identified. He had registered in
the hotel under the name of R. L.
Smith, of Chicago.
The father of Harry Hassed is
a doctor in Lusk, Wyo. His mother
is living in Cheyenne. No reason
could be found for the action.
