VERDUN'S BLOODY HISTORY

When it comes to war, lightning
\ seems prone to strike twice in the
/ same place, or even four or five
times. Belgium has been the battle
| field of more than one war prior to
this one. Much or northern France,
now laid waste or being organized
and developed by the German inyad-
ers, has lain damp in other years
with the dew of war. Not least of
the ancient backgrounds now being
swept by gunnery is. the fortress of
Eerdun. "A sinister destiny" de-
elares a writer in the Kansas City
STAR seems to have selected Yer
] dun as one of the rocks of history
around which the storms of battle
between France and Germany shall

'erdun, executed in the ninth cen
Jury is well known, since it marked
Europes Tower of Babel, and the
splitting up of the Carolingian domin-
luis INTO sections destined to grow
steadily into the great nations we
now Know. As we read further:

AS TO COL. LoWDEN. - Col.
Frank o. Lowden writes me from
Sinnissippi Farm, Oregon, H., to say
he is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor of our more
or less great and glorious state. In
addition to saying that he will not be
the candidate of any faction, the
colonel say:
CAS- a candidate I shall make no
promises, either express or implied,
and shall have no alliances, either
direct or remote, which will embar-
rass the free exercise of my best
judgment in discharging the duties
of governor, should 1 be nominated
and elected"
That might be fine business, Frank,
if l knew what you stand for. And
might want you to be in position to
freely exercise your best Judgment.
But, doggone it, Colonel, what in
thunder do know about your judg-
ment?
might get better line on you if
you would make some promises
and make 'em pUblicly-as to what
you will and will not do. 1t isn't the
public promises folks fear in a can
didate, but the secret ones. And the
guy who's shy on public promises is
very apt to make a whole lot of Sc
cret ones.

PLANS FOR COLLEGE YEAR

DR.. Samuel G, Mitchell has returned
from Chicago, where he made the invo-
cation address at the commencement
exercises of the University of Chicago
DR.. Mitchell was accompanied by his
wife on the trip.
The Delaware College president is
now engaged in mapping out some of
the details for the opening Of the college
on September q. There will be large
number of new faculty members who
will take up their work at that time
and a record entering class is expected.
The fact of the old dormitory building
being razed to make room for new
building also has to be taken into con-
sideration in making the plans for the
opening of college. Many offices have
to be moved and other arrangements
made.
What is especially pleasing to not
only the officials of Delaware College
but also those of the Women's College
is the fact of prospects being SO bright
for large freshmen classes.
Some few of the new faculty men,
bers have already arrived in Newark to
get settled before college opened.
