FORGETTING
It seems the supreme irony of fate,
\s displayed in the twentieth century,
that the allied. and Amerienn nations
are now called upon. to consider the
* German nation as being once more a
member of the family of nations, Tt
is irony hecause of the unspeakable,
human actions of that nation
against the other members of the
family of world powers.
Already plans for showing mercy,
for offering food, clothing and other
necessities are under way, and the
most uncivilized group of peoples in
the world is to be given
tian treatment, At first, it seems
fair and impossible, yet it must be so,
‘The allies and America have been
fighting for Christian principles and
against barbarism for four bitter
the side of the Right, the winners of
the fight must display the principle
for which they have fought, Perhaps
the most, divine of all principles ig

tion of the rule came between
lines of enemies abroad.

When a college body is going to vote

for the position are all well qualified
