Sorenson, pres ent attorney general and recent candidate for chief justice of the state supreme court, placed the blame for the 1914 war on a class of military men, zealous for glory. Today as the world faces its second great war, newspapers in equally flaming editorials, imply ing "War is Hell," mourn the fate of that same class of military men. They call it a crime to send young men to horror and death in defense of the questionable in terests of war profiteers. Today it is the inefficiency of diplomats and the money lust of the DuPonts and J. P. Morgans at whose door the press lays the blame for the blood of Poland and now of France. Tales of laugh ing soldiers marching thru the fields of southern France singing "La Marseillaise" and the glory of a professional soldier is now branded as war propaganda. The 1914 editorial appearing In this paper typifies an entirely different attitude than tiie one found on the campus today.

NEWS ROUNDUP Nazi hints allies to sink U.S. vessel Escort starts to meet Irquois; 800 returning on ship from Europe By Steele and Woerner. BULLETIN. The American steamship Iro quois will be sunk off the coast of the United States, said the head of the German navy, Grand Admiral Raeder, last night. American warships were rushing to the spot where the Iroquois will approach the American coast. The ship car ries some 800 Americans. This is interpreted as mean ing that the German govern ment is charging the allies with deliberately trying to sink an American ship; that Germany will be falsely accused of the sinking, thus inciting anti-nazi See NEWS ROUNDUP, Page 6 Daily staff, reporters meet tomorrow at 10 A meeting of all staff mem bers, reporters and would-be re porters will be held In the DAILY NEBRASKAN office Saturday morning at 10 o'clock It is imperative that all re porters now at work on the pa per be present. Unless they have a valid excuse for their ab sence their beats will be as signed to other reporters. Students who wish to begin work on the paper are also re quested to be at the meeting. enson wrote "The military system is to blame for the present war," is the popu lar comment, and it comes near being the truth. The life of the military caste in a time of pro found peace is nigh near tragic. They are denied the opportunity to make practical use of their training and knowledge. Strong men in such cases feel themselves, and are, in the position of poten tial lawyers, who are restrained from using their talents in court. Soldiers naturally, though perhaps unconsciously, long for an oppor tunity to win glory along the line of their chosen work. "When peace lasts very long the soldier class shrinks in importance. If peace lasts too long, military work becomes a poorly paid and despised profession. Even today the only real admirer of the pro fessional soldier Is the vain girl who craves a uniformed beau. It Is not strange, therefore that the military class for the sake of the dignity of their profession are will ing to. go to war on a very slight pretext." Thus time changes all.
