OURSELVES AND THE CRISIS.
If we ‘students of State College have returned from the
spring recess with the same light hearts, the same sense of irce
dom from responsibility, the same complacent and serene view
of the immediate future with which we departed for our homes
some two weeks ago, there is something radically y i
us, If we do not feel our hearts gripped by an carnes
tion that great duties, great danger: g
rows are sternly facing us, then we are in urgent need of being
rudely awakened to the realization of the grim realities, that are
standing at our doors.
America is at war! America, the peace-loving, the patient,
the forbearing, has at last found its position of outraged neu-
trality so intolerable, that it has taken open issue with those
forces that are threatening world-wide destruction of demo-
cratic government and democratic institutions. America is at
war! State College student, what do you think about it?
Are you satisfied to feel that the fighting is taking place in
France over across some three thousand miles of ocean, and
that, though you many behold some thousands of young Ameri-
cans march away to take ship for the scene of conflict, yet it is
a matter of no immediate concern to you, and that there is no
particular reason why you should not’ proceed undisturbed and
unrufled along the wa: atistied existence? It is to be
admitted that such an attitude may shortly be proved justifiable;
the newspapers are predicting peace before the end of the sum-
mer, and many well informed men declare that the whole system
of autocracy, against which we are struggling, is about to
crumble to ruins, If this be so, well and good. We may then
afford to be indifferent, and thanking our stars that there was a
British navy and a French army, go on with our cherished pur-
suit of happiness. But, unfortunately, there is another possi-
bility.
Is there no-significance to be attached to the fact that the
allied governments are welcoming us into the conflict with open
arms? Does the commission from France and England, now
on its way to America, mean nothing? Are they signs that the
end of the war is in sight? No, peace is a long way ‘oll, we ven
ture to prophesy, and we add the solemn warning that before
it is attained, more than a few of us may meet first-hand some
of the grievous sorrows that have been coming home to the
peoples of Europe during the past three years, Let us not forget
that the prospect of a separate peace between Russia and the
Hohenzolierens is daily looming larger, and that if such a peace
brought about, England and France will be crushed in the
field, and the present barriers that separates us from the distant
conflict will be removed. Then, we Americans, no longer safe
behind three thousand miles of the Atlantic, will know from a
more reliable source than newspaper accounts, what Belgium
and Poland has suffered,
Is not this possibility worthy of sober thought?
