THE EVIL EFFECTS OF WAR
“War!” Just at present this word is on the lips of almost every
individual. Men discuss this topic on their way to and from busin
and even in the busiest hours of the day. Women talk over the results
of the latest battle during their shopping tours, over their afternoon tea,
and then come home to compare notes with their hu
girls search the newspapers eagerly to learn of the d
war and the most recent instrument of torture, invented by those men
of genius, who are honored for contriving something to add to the
scores of such inventions now in use. And the ery is taken up by the
small children, who, v vag tely comprehending the great struggle, call
throughout the streets, tra, all about the war
But if war is discussed so eagerly by people who see the battles
through the newspapers and magazines, how completely this subject
must envelope the lives of those, thousands of miles from us, who are
involved in one of the greatest wars history has ever recorded. We
have heard and studied of those great battles in Europe and Asia, of
Hannibal's march, of the blaze of glory which shone along the route of
Alexander the Great, and of Napoleon’s prowess; we have ourselves
been involved in struggles in our own country, but never have we read
56 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
of a war with such a deadly purpose as the one now being fought across
the sea.
It is natural, then, that we should think only of the evils of the great
struggle between these nations. But has not every other conflict seemed
just as horrible in its time? Although each has some new invention
which marks the progress in science, there are always the same evils
associated with every war.
Waste is, perhaps, one of the most evident results of war. One sees
a vast region covered with ruins, dreary, desolate; its great forests
hacked and rent, its fields barren and its villages prostrated. A short
time before, this land was green and fertile, the townspeople were
contented, the crops flourishing, and a happier spot was hard to find.
Now, ravaging armies prowl over it, for war has descended like a
thunder-cloud, swift and relentless. Hundreds of thousands have met
on this spot, prepared to break the bonds of brotherhood and to re-
nounce all thought of human kindni
Let us next consider the path of the victorious army. Here are the
ruins of once beautiful homes, scattered flocks, harvests trampled by
the feet of men and the hoofs of beasts, and the inhabitants flying in
all directions, in want and despair. But worse still, there is the scene
upon the field after a battle. Here are great heaps of dead, lying in
pools of their own blood, their bodies so torn and mangled by shot and
shell that scarcely a vestige of human form remains. Then there are
the mortally wounded, those who, deprived of the hope of life, pray
for the death so long in coming. These writhe in agony, their lips
parched, their bodies racked by the pain of their burning wounds,
their deep groans bringing no aid, no gentle touch to soothe them in
their last hour. But most cruel of all is the thought of the vultures,
hovering over the heaps of slain, waiting for their prey.
It is not, however, the dread of death which makes the most cour-
ageous soldier tremble. It is that black, lurking form, “ Disease,”
which, gaining a foothold in the camp, spreads like wildfire through-
out the entire army. The days of battle count as nothing by the side
of this more terrible fate. This plague is brought on by exposure to
storms, excessive labor in the hot sun during the day and the chilling
atmosphere of the night, and especially, by unwhol
news of defeat brings no such gloom’ to the soldiers'as the knowledge
that disease is in their midst, and that at any time they may become
subject to this harvester who works as a companion of war. You say
that these men must expect to die, if they enlist for war. This is
indeed true, but they expect to die in honor upon the battlefield, not
to perish in over-crowded hospitals, surrounded by all sights and
sounds of woe, far from home, friends and parents, left utterly alone
to face an unknown world. When we think of the soldiers’ death we
must not forget the people left at home. It is sometimes said that the
greatest suffering is placed upon the women and aged folk, who await
anxiously the news of each day's battle. It is they also who, when the
looked-for name at last appears in that long list, bear their great
suffering silently, forcing themselves to think that “He died in a
noble cause.”
There i
yet one more scene which portrays the direful effects of
h
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 57
war. This is a besieged city. The people are collected in small hovels
and caves and other shelter which they can find; women, children, old
and sick alike. They live through days and nights with weapons and
conflagration surrounding them. Famine and plague stare them in
the face. They realize their inability to check the onslaught of the
approaching foe, and await the inevitable moment when the barriers
will burst, the soldiers pour in, burning with lust, and driven by the
weariness of the long siege to deeds of unutterable cruelty. Homes
are destroyed, families separated, and the half-starved people see their
once prosperous city sink into black ruins.
All these comprise the obvious and striking results of war, but there
are others, deep and undermining, which, though less easily perceived,
are nevertheless brought to bear with more horrible force. One is
the influence upon the character of the men who make war their trade.
These are hired for slaughter, to be the passive instruments in the
hands of the ruler, to carry out the bloodiest commands without a
thought of justice, and to consider only the courage of the deed. All
these conditions drive them to hold in contempt all laws of God and
man, to sport with death and to defy it; and they are rendered unfit
to return to their homes and ordinary pursuits of life.
War has also a disastrous effect upon the prosperity of a com-
munity. For the revenues of the state must be expended to maintain
the great military establishments, all internal improvements are neg-
lected and all the business carried on in times of peace is disturbed by
this great calamity. There are no employees to furnish the necessary
labor, some men enlisting for love of adventure, while others are
forced to fight for a cause which they condemn. The people of the
state are reduced to the poorest circumstances, while often the insti-
gators of the war thrive upon the spoils.
The political institutions of a community are greatly endangered
by any sort of a conflict. War places in the hands of the government
a power which threatens to become despotic; for the people turn in
their distress to the government, which, if controlled by unsuitable
men, may gain a dangerous patronage over them. The soldiers lose
the feelings of a citizen and think only of the devotion to their leader.
They become accustomed to delight in tumult, adventure and peril
and to think with scorn of the quiet labors at home. The natural
result of this is that freedom cannot long endure in such an atmos-
phere, for the leaders gain an influence over the armies which they are
unwilling to relinquish at the close of the war.
Walter Walsh has said that the greatest effect of war is the moral
effect, both on the individual and on the country as a whole. Let us
first consider the effect upon the individual. The suspension of all
business increases want, and criminal modes are necessary for sus-
tenance; and the government of the communities is so neglected that
these crimes go unchecked and naturally develop rapidly. This con-
stitutes only the effect upon the individual at home. There are also
the soldiers to be considered. These become so accustomed to death
in all its forms that they commit horrible deeds without a thought of
what they are doing. The lust for gain is inspired in their hearts and
they press on, regardless of consequences.
58 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
The effects upon the country as a whole are broader and more
numerous. In the first place international trade becomes a system of
stratagem, all means being employed to evade the watchful eyes of
the opposing nation, In war the moral sentiments of a country are
completely destroyed by the admiration of military exploits. Human
life is considered cheap. Opposing nations delight to hear that
famine, want, defeat and desolation are pressing upon the hostile
country, Vast slaughter, instead of inspiring pity, fills nations with
wild joy and renders them hard-hearted and cruel. All sympathies
of humanity are renounced and it is said that if the prayers, or rather,
the curses of warring nations were heard in heaven the earth would
be a desert
War is similar to a wheel, which rolling down hill, gains rapidity
in its flight. Passion is inspired into the countries. The successful
nation is desirious of new laurels, while the defeated is impatient to
redeem its honor and recover its territory. [For no worthier cause than
to enlarge an empire, to repeal some exaggerated injury, to support
some idle pretension nations have become inyolved in such fierce con-
flicts that they threaten to overturn the universe. Human blood is
poured out like water and human b are driven like sheep to
slaughter. War has been reduced to a science, a system, a trade which
is considered a most honorable occupation.
There was a time when great philosophers said that war was over
forever, but now we realize that peace has only been a long truce, a re-
spite to sharpen the weapons and prepare for future struggles, that, under
a pretended friendship, hatred and scorn have lurked, that great mili-
tary establishments have been secretly maintained and that for years
only a reason for opening hostilities has been lacking. So far, we
have managed to keep out of this conflict which threatens to involve
the whole world. May we be able to retain this neutral position and
prevent our country and our people from suffering all the evil effects
of war! My Ay Sy 15:
HAPLESS SALLY
Scheyne Hall was the most strict and most up-to-date of boarding
schools, ccording to the logue, there were courses of liberal
arts, courses of science, and courses of domestic science. Naturally
every kind of student was well represented there.
At the time of our story, the principal, a rigid disciplinarian, was
keeping a watchful eye upon a group of jolly Juniors, who were some-
what inclined to resent the discipline imposed upon them. As yet her
attention had not been attracted to two Freshmen, each of whom, by
the way, had a sister in this jolly Junior bunch. They were well
worth our notice, and if the upper classmen had not been so permeated
with the idea of the insignificance of the Freshmen, they would have
been more interested in them, especially at thi ul juncture.
Several weeks before, the Juniors had enjoyed a splendid mid-
night spread and were gaily anticipating another, which was to a
the nature of a birthday party.
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 59
It had been the most natural thing in the world for the two Juniors
to ask of their respective Freshmen sisters the performance of certain
small duties without the reward of an invitation to the party.
Jean and Alice, although Freshmen, were not stupid but were jolly
chums, who rather resented this unkindness on the part of the Juniors.
They fully appreciated the fun that was coming, but asserted privately
that if they had to draw place-cards and make birthday cakes, it was
rather too much to exclude them from the spread.
The party was to take place at midnight on Wednesday. By Tues-
day morning Jean and Alice had worked themselves into a state of
deep rage and resentment. Complaints and protests had availed them
nothing and revenge was solemnly sworn to. The chums separated ;
one to attend an art class and the other to sew.
As Alice was draping a fichu over the shoulders of “ Sally's” sub-
stantial but inanimate form, a brilliant idea came to her. However,
she managed to finish her work with some show of industry. At the
close of the period, the other girls left the room and Alice was left
to straighten up. This was her particular duty for the week. Grasp-
ing “ Sally” by the waist she unceremoniously bundled her out of the
room into a seldom used closet on the other side of the hall. She
then finished her task, and with a serious countenance returned the
key to Miss Stickler, the principal.
It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that Jean and Alice met in
their room; and then very hurriendly Alice related her plan. They
waxed enthusiastic over it. However, as the Juniors rushed into their
room with the purpose of causing more envy, they assumed doleful
countenances.
The Juniors were successfully led into thinking that Jean and Alice
were so disgusted with their hardness of heart, that, just for spite,
they didn’t have any intention of interfering with them or their
pleasure on Wednesday night. Having obtained the place cards and
the promise that the birthday cake would appear the next morning,
they left, much to the seeming regret of Jean and Alice, who were
looking forward to an evening of hard study.
Soon after dinner and before the sound of the “quiet bell” had
died away, Jean and Alice placed on the door block of their room the
“ Busy — Positively no Admittance” sign, A few minutes later Alice
might have been seen cautiously dragging the unconscious form of
“ Sally ” through the deserted halls to their room.
If only one of the Juniors could have stood without and heard the
extraordinary process of studying that was tried that night. Such
stifled giggles and snickers! Then a sound of clipping and the rip-
ping of cloth; all accompanied by sundry plaintive squeaks which
could have come from none other than the charming “ Sally.”
But alas! unmindful of this procedure the Juniors were delightfully
discussing the coming spread. Ah, if only Jean and Alice could have
heard the heated discussion, over the ways and means! There were
prophecies of a jolly time, and especially would they have heard the
jibes and jeers over their own crestfallen attitudes. Fortunately
things went smoothly for both bands of conspirators.
Wednesday night came around with its anticipated surpris
Alice
60 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
had visited her sister’s room where the spread was to take place,
early in the day having brought the promised birthday cake, Alice’s
triumphal proof of her culinary skill. It was not noted by those
present that Alice during most of her visit stood near the other door
which opened above the landing of Miss Stickler’s office.
The bell for “lights out” had sounded and apparent peace and
quiet lay over the dormitories. Just as the big clock struck eleven,
ruffled figures might have been seen, stealing silently toward the ban-
quet room. Jean and’ Alice were long since in bed. With a stifled
giggle the last éf the white figures carefully closed the door behind
her and turned to join in the merry fun.
The lights had been lowered and the revelry was just reaching its
height when the girls heard the handle of the door on the landing
turn. The door swung open and in the dim light Miss Stickler was
seen striding determinedly forward. ‘Terrified by her glittering,
accusing eyes, the girls fled precipitately to the accompaniment of
overturning chairs.
A moment later the heads of Jean and Alice were cautiously thrust
in on either side of the rigid figure of Miss Stickler. Then with
pardonable pride, they escorted the unprotesting “ Sally” in her bor-
rowed robes, to the festal board, and with great ceremony they began
the enjoyment of the delicious feast before them.

FANNY’S LESSON
Fanny Read came running home from school late in the afternoon,
and, dashing in the door, she laid her books on the table.
“Why, Fanny,” said Mrs. Read, “ where have you been since school
was dismissed? It is now five o'clock.”
“Oh, Mother,” cried Fanny, “ we have been having such fun riding
down hill, and what do you think? All the girls were afraid to ride
down the longest and steepest hills. They screamed when they fell
off their sleds. I’m sure I wouldn't, because it just shows everyone
how big a coward one is. I laughed at them and then they were
angry.”
“My little girl,” said her mother, “I wouldn't call my friends
cowards because they dislike to risk their lives. I knew a little girl
once who rode down a steep hill and it was so icy that her sled tipped
over and she was badly hurt.”
Fanny said nothing more, but, taking up her favorite book, she went
into the sitting room, This was a large room, and as it was late in
the day would have been dark had it not been for the huge fireplace,
which cast its warm glow about the room. In front of the fireplace
was a large Morris chair, and altogether it looked warm and inviting
after being in the cold air. Sinking in this chair Fanny lay back
thinking over again the happenings of the day. Then, gradually the
room began to fade, and once again she was standing on the hill with
all her friends, But it all seemed strange.
“ Bet you're afraid to go down this hill, Fan,” cried Agnes Day.
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 6r
“Tam not,” retorted Fanny, “ I'll show you if I am.”
“T wouldn’t dare to go down that hill if I were you,” said Peggy
Peters. “ None of the rest of us would, it’s too steep.”
“Well, I will,” and with that Fanny threw herself on her sled and
was off, down the hill. %
* * * * * * * * * *
What a long hill it was; down, down, down she was going.
“Surely,” thought Fanny, ‘‘] must have gone a long way. It seems
hours since I started.” The sled went over bump after bump.
Sometimes Fanny could scarcely hold on, but hold on she did, for she
would not have the other girls say she had fallen off; at other times
the sled went so fast that she could hardly draw a breath. “I must
be near the bottom now,” said Fanny, aloud, “ because it is getting
darker and darker, and it must be supper time, I am getting hungry.”
Suddenly the crust of the snow broke, and Fanny felt herself sink-
ing through what seemed to her a round, dark pipe. Would she ever
get home? What was to become of her? Fanny began to scream at
the top of her voice, and closed her eyes. Then she struck something
soft, and, upon opening her eyes, she found herself sitting on the
warm fur rug in front of the fire. She had fallen from the chair, and
her mother was coming in the room to call her to supper.
It had all been a dream, but after this Fanny never made fun of the
girls for being afraid; and was slightly afraid herself for a long time
afterwards, as all steep hills reminded her of the one in her dream.

s of to-day there exist several classes of students,
but to the cas appear to be but three distinct types.
Firstly, there is commonly known as “ grinds.” We
might describe a “ * grind” as one who lets his studies interfere with his
pleasure to such a degree as to appear inhuman. His books become
prematurely old and worn, and, although renowned for his high
he is also noted for his unsociability. Yes, such a person
ist, and is considered a human being along with the rest of us.
Secondly, there is the class of happy-go-lucky students. It is this
type that wanders aimlessly around study-hall “killing time,” and
incidently disturbing others. These people never liked to study, so
never exert themselves for knowledge; yet they plot and plan many
ways in which to fool the teachers. They are an uneasy class — rest-
less and bored. No one thing seems to interest them for any length of
time or else they lack the power to keep to it. They appear and talk
well, yet something seems lacking in their make-up. It is wondered
if this type ever has a serious thought.
In the high s
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 63
Then comes the third class. This is made of good, true boys and
girls —that are proudly loyal to their school, and are stirred when
they see their team playing on the field—that derive pleasure from
their school life, yet have a real object in coming there, and carry it
out. We like to feel that there are some such people about us.
It is this last type that we should strive to imitate. Let us come
here with a definite aim in view, and stick to it. This, of course, does
not mean to do nothing but study; we should mingle with our school-
mates and help them in little friendly personal ways. For no body
of people anywhere can work together for the greatest good of an
institution unless there is a personal friendliness among its members.
One of the most popular habits this year seems to be tardiness.
Needless to say, this practice is no way beneficial to the school, and
efforts should be made to decrease the tardiness — and incidentally the
membership of our “ Bible Class.” Yes, we admit it is rather hard
to get here on time some of these gray mornings, but we should at
least try.

SCHOOL NOTES
Midyears are over at last! The first half of the year has been
completed and probably most of us wish that we had worked a little
harder; but on the whole we are quite satisfied. The exams seem to
be getting harder and harder and we had an extra dose of fright this
year on account of the marks being raised.
Several of our teachers have fallen victims to the grippe, which
seems to be so common all over the city now. We were especially
sorry when Miss Shaver was obliged to stay home. A great many of
64 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
our schoolmates have also suffered. We will be very glad to welcome
Helen Meade back to our midst, since she has been out so long.
The Junior Class was organized a few weeks ago. The results of
their elections were as follows:
President Philip Katusky
Vice-President .. Ruth Holder
Secretary .... Margaret Romer
Treasurer .... Reginald Bruce
They have decided to give a reception for the Seniors on the 18th
of February, in the gymnasium. It is going to be a very delightful
affair, and the Seniors especially expect to enjoy it.
On Monday, January 10th, the High School students were called
over to the auditorium for the College chapel period to hear Mr.
Mercer speak. His subject was “ Playing the Game.” The theme was
that too much stress is being put upon the development of the brain
in schools and not enough upon the development of the moral character.”
It was very much enjoyed.
The following extracts are from a letter, written by a former
member of our High School, who at present is teaching art and
manual training in Los Angeles, California:
How do I like California? Immensely. The climate is so fine.
Just now (November) the nights are very cold, but the days are
wonderful and warm and the flowers are everywhere. My Christmas
sweet peas are just beginning to bloom. The rains have just started
and the fields and hills are turning green. All summer they are
baked dry and are beautiful at Christmas time. I love the beautiful
mountain scenery, and there are such fine roads through the moun-
tains. We have seen quite a bit of the country and it is all wonder-
ful—never twice the same. I watched one of the most beautiful
sunsets on the hills to-night on my way home. The clouds turned
gold, then purple and red and pink and then faded away into browns
and grays.
I had such a lovely trip last week. The institute was at San Diego
and eight thousand of us were there from all southern California.
I visited the San Diego and San Luis Rey and San Juan Capistrano
Missions while I was down there. There are no places like them in
the East. I saw Ramona’s marriage place, too. You know, Helen
Hunt Jackson's “Ramona.” That story is all historically true, and
the places mentioned are all still to be found out here.
Mother and I are going to see the Mission play to-morrow at the
San Gabriel Mission. They say it is wonderful and it leaves for the
East in a few weeks. If it comes to any place near Albany you want
to see it. i?
There is one thing about this place that I do not like. It is only
five o'clock and pitch dark. There is no twilight like there is at
home. The minute the sun sets, the dark comes. It is so all the year
long, and even in the summer it is dark about half-past six.
I just went to the door and couldn’t see across the street for the
fog. We have such heavy ones. The other day we were out for a
ride with friends and it grew dark before we got home. Suddenly
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE 65
we ran into the fog and could not see fifty feet, or even less, away.
The fogs last until noon sometimes. All summer, when it looks like
rain in the morning and we would be sure of a shower in the East,
in an hour it is nothing but fog. It soaks everything like a heavy
rain. Things are so different here, and it’s all so interesting.
Yours truly,
Marion T. Baker.
ZETA SIGMA
The meetings of Sigma are proving to furnish as much enjoy-
ment as ever to the girls. Of late, we have been having some good
times. Just before the Christmas vacation, Sigma gave a party for
the Freshmen. We had some fun with the “ Freshies ” and they proved
to be a very nice class.
Recently we were entertained by the Zeta Sigma Alumni Associa-
tion. A tea was given on the 15th of January in the assembly room
of the High School. It seemed pleasant to meet the girls who were
active members, while we were still in the “* grades,” and had no idea
of ever becoming Sigma girls. We thank the girls very much for the
good time they gave us, but we are sorry to say that not one of the
critics was present.
The election of officers for the next term was a great success, for we
know the girls will fulfill their places well. The results were as follows:

QUINTILIAN LITERARY SOCIETY
At a recent meeting of the Society, election of officers for the second
term of the school year was held. The result is as follows:
President +++ Marian Poole
Vice-President . Gertrude Corwith
Secretary . - Ruth Holder
Treasurer . Margaret Kirtland
Mistress of Ceremonies . Martha Hosler
Senior Editor ... Margaret Ward
Junior Editor .. .. Edna Lowerree
Our programs have, as usual, ina varied and interesting. Im-
promptu debates, intellectual and otherwise, quotations from local,
famous personages, readings and vocal solos, all tend to make Thurs-
day afternoons fly quickly. The question of parliamentary drill as a
regular institution of our “Quin” meetings has been favorably
discussed..
On January the 28th “ Quin ” held its regular initiation of Freshmen,
Miss Cushing proved an interested spectator of our attempts to prop-
erly imbue the prospective members with a spirit of resignation and
awe. After the ordeal was over we adjourned to the High School
chapel for refreshments. Here, between munchings of goodies, Pro-
fessor Sayles related harrowing tales of his own initiation. We gladly
welcome the following to membership: Roslyn Geritz, Edith Wright,
Hilda Liebich, Anna Marin, and Marion Wilsie.
THETA NU
The midyear elections have taken place and we welcome the new
officers :
President -Theron Hoyt
Vice-President. . - William Nead
Secretary. . ...Ansley Wilcox
Treasurer Harmon Patten
Critic. . -George Ward
Sergeant- -at-Arms. .+.John Heeran
The members of Theta Nu are brenewing their old spirit, and the
meetings of late have been a great success. Messrs. Katusky,
Schweiker, Sollace and Hourigan have recently joined our number,
and their initiation proved to be very interesting. We hope the mem-
bers will continue to show their interest in the welfare of the society.
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
ADELPHOI
The meetings of Adelphoi have been well attended.

Sergeant-at-Arms . Coughlin
Master of Ceremonies. MacMahon

Messrs. Vibbard and Venear have been received into membership.
An item of interest in Adelphoi has been the orga:
orchestra at the request of the society. The result is
nizing of an
that pleasing
musical programs are given under the direction of Geo. A. Van Zandt.
The members of the orchestra are as follows:

Nine-tenths of all that goes wrong in this world is because some one

ATHLETICS
Milne H. S. is represented by as fast a basketball team as of former
years. Captain Ward has lead his team against several of the best
interscholastic basketball teams in this part of the State.
The M. H, S. team defeated the Albany Academy team both on our
court and in their gymnasium. We were defeated by the Albany
HH. S. and also by the Amsterdam H. S. The Chatham H. S. lost to
our team.
The Albany High School defeated the Milne High in one of the
most exciting games in the history of the two schools, the score being
22-35.

of the best Junior players in the school, among whom are McDonough,
Kampf, Vibbard, Schweiker and Garry. Thus far the Junior team

CRITICISMS
Academe, Albany, New York
An exchange editor, as a rule, does not like to repeat, but your paper
has again proved so excellent that we cannot pass it by without extend-
ing our congratulations for your praiseworthy efforts and results. ““A
Bachelor's Reminiscences ” is a very noyel and pleasing love story, and
the cleverness with which it is developed makes it a most unique and
interesting romance. You are indeed fortunate in having your Liter-
ary Department augmented by so many excellent poems, so often it is
difficult to induce the members of a school to submit poetry. Your
“Athletics ” are splendidly handled, and, in fact, the Academe through-
out is a model of literary merit.
Aurora, Nome, Alaska
We are indeed glad to welcome your interesting publication from
the ever enchanting land of ice and snow. After reading the vivid
descriptions of your beautiful sunsets, your ski and sweepstake races,
the long winding trails, and your pyramidal snow drifts, we cannot
help wishing that we, too, might spend at least one winter in the “ land
of wonders” and enjoy with you its many pleasures and delights. Your
entire paper seems to breathe refinement and distinction. The cover
design is strikingly rich and artistic,
and interesting illustrations with which your paper is certainly well
blessed, are a decidedly noteworthy feature.
and the abundance of clear cuts
The Budget, Berne, Indiana
The Christmas number of the Budget came to us alive with class
and school spirit and brimful of good humor. The design for the
Literary Department was especially ingenious in both plan and execu-
tion. The Exchange Department is excellent —as far as the cut goes.
It is cleverly designed and well drawn. But the column itself should
be read through a magnifying glass. Can you not increase your list
72 THE CRIMSON AND WHITE
of exchanges, and thereby make this department, which is really a most
important unit of any school paper, more interesting and useful?
Opinion, Peoria, Illinois
3y far the best story we have read this month appeared in your
January publication. “A Happy Reunion ” is told in/a simple, earnest
style which certainly surpasses all the attempted-comic and attempted-
tragic effusions that are used so often. The theme is rich in human
kindness and the story is decidedly naive. Your “’Phunny-Graphs ”
are simply great! Don’t let them run down. Your Exchange Column
is also growing in a wonderful style. Such lengthy criticisms are in-
deed gratifying, and they display a great deal of thought and discrim-
ination. The order of your paper, however, is somewhat careless, and
numerous discrepancies appear.
Kwassui Quarterly, Nagasaki, Japan
This wee little paper from the land of the Orient once more suc-
ceeded in reaching the shores of America and proved unusually inter-
ing. The paper throughout seems to be saturated with the very
essence of its native land, even to the oddly mottled blue cover, which
seemed to unconsciously portray the very roll and whirl of the beau-
tiful Japan. waters. The editorial, which dealt with the horrors of the
present European war, now raging over land and sea, was very en-
lightening, and should most certainly gain for your paper a place in
“ Sheboygan’s Commemoration Hall.’ We think, however, that your
paper could be greatly improved by an Alumni Department and some
good cuts,

A TRUE ADVENTURE
Thanksgiving day dawned bright and fair,
The air was clear and cold,
When James, upon his duties bent,
Found trace of burglars bold.
An open door, a broken pane,
First caught his watchful gaze,
And the confusion everywhere
He looked on in amaze.
Then straightway to the phone he went,
Reported the affair,
And set him calmly down to wait
Till they sent someone there.
That eve, as twilight shadows fell
Upon the peaceful town,
James went around again, this time
To shake the furnace down.
He heard a step above his head
And seized a hammer nigh,
Then quietly sallied up the stairs
To see what he could spy.
Again he heard the steps draw near,
And stood behind a door ;
But nearer yet they still did come
Across the kitchen floor.
He raised the hammer in defence,
And saw a pistol bright
Pointed directly at his head,
Which gave him quite a fright.
Although the pistol was not fired,
James let the hammer fall;
But it was just a plain-clothes man
And no burglar at all!
