THE BALKAN DRIVE

In order to protect the integrity of
Serbia, the Entente powers went to
war. Upon the independence of the
unruly Balkan state, they stake their
all. With it's fall the whole vista of
the vast possibilities of this war is un-
rolled before us. Does the crushing
of Serbia between the Teuton ham
mer and the Bulgar anvil merely
spell failure to the Allies efforts to
force the Dardanelles or is it wrought
with greater consequences?
Once the gap between the central
powers and Turkey is bridged. the
Teutons can pour their armies and
supplies into Asia and cut that artery
of British world empire. the Suez
Canal. British sea power might pre-
vent the invasion of England, even
though the Germans be in Calais, but
it can hardly prevent the passage Of
the Suez Canal, once the Krupp and
Skoda guns knock at the gates of
Egypt
And was it for The mere purpose or
parading their industrial and fnar-
cial strength that the otherwise So
systematic and iforeseeing Germans
necessarily continued heir work on
the Bagdad railroad. Or not much
more likely tha. thei1 labors, there as
elsewhere, were directed towards the
one immediate nat 'onal purpose, the
winning of this war?
And when German leadership and
organization, trainins and resources,
enlist the latent strength of the Mos
lem world from Suez to Morocco, an ]
from the T'gris to he Indus, then the
seemingly stiil-hoIn 9oly War might
well at once become reality supply

UPHOLDING THE STATE

Prof. L. NJ. Defoe, chairman of the
University discipline committee,
struck keynote at the Monday Nigh;
Forum when he asked that hazing be
stopped because, if for no other rea-
son, it gave the University bad rep
utation throughout the state.
Professor Defoe was right. But he
could have gone further. The STU
dents of the University should stop all
practices that tend to create a bad
sentiment in the state. They should
think twice before they take a step
that may put the University in bad
light. This applies to many things
other than hazing. There are plen-
ty of ways of having sport" besides
indulging in anything riotous.
The people of the state of Missou-
ri have made this University possible.
They are interested in it. The stu
dents should do all in their power to
hold the confidence of the people OF
the state. "Grown-up" men and wo-
men are supposed to attend this Uni
versity. Let student conduct indicate
as much.

LiV-Ver-Lax is one of the most i'm portatn medical discoveries of recent years For long time medical eN- perts. realizing the harmful effects of calomel, have been srrlviug to find a liver cleanser that would be just as effective as calomel and yet be abso- lutely harmless in its action Re- gently this remedy was actually put forth by l.. K. Grigsby in his LiV-Ver- Lax.
 Liv-Ver-Lax is a harmless vegetable compound, designed solely for the treatment of liver complaints. The immediate favor it has met in thou sands of homes is proof positive of it's real value

THE REALIZATION.

In this section there seems 10 he finally a realization that a crisis IS reached in the affairs of this nation, The United States lad sent a little note, and that note was answered with a torpedo in the vtals Of a neutral group of non-combatants. Then the United States sent along another L. tie note. This note will not be so eas- fly answered
 Article of this other note means that Germany must withdraw her attacks from noncombatants. Germany must not commit murder under pre- text of war. The submarine must give warning when attacking passen- ger and merchant ships
 Few of us believe Germany will yield to this demand War is war Germany is playing the game in des. perate fashion Claiming 10 nave stored away within her borders years of supplies. she stin fights as a starved animal at bay.
 If Germany answers bluntly, there is no alternative left. The United States will withdraw her representa- tiyes. Diplomatic relations will end. The Frederick Eitel and the other n- termed boats must withdraw. We will probably not play an active part Tn the game of war, further than to con- voy our ships when We wish them co go anywhere.
 It is dreadful 10 think of the United States being dragged into the vortex of war We had hoped to be the me. diators. We had hoped to be the agency of peace when the time of peace came. We had believed that We could stand between victor and yanquished and demand fair play for the loser in-the fortune of, war. We had xSfoie lot of things for Uncle Sam that would give him the opportunity to prove how truly great the American people are. It is prob ably true that we are greater people in peace than in war We are deprived probably of these antlcipations. and ,t is all because of a wanton disregard for human life.
