which the players are now under
taking will be especially interesting,

If Washington and other cities

something new, entertaining and

DR.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. NEW
ALLIANCE

DR.. Hugo Muensterberg, whose
correspondence with his German Off
cial friends was recently the occa-
sion of much edification when a
heartless British publicity agency
gave it to the world, announces that
new alliance of Germany, Austria,
Russia, and Japan is by way of
formation. Once the new alliance
is effected, he opines, it will turn to
crushing out the ambition of Britain
for world power. So he advises that
the German and English people, who
IRE now indisposed to make peace,
give attention to this new menace
and get together as soon as possible.
DR.. Muensterberg's view will not
be highly convincing. Russia and
Germany are the new rivals for con-
troll Of the Dardanelles. Time was
when England was the chief figure
In every alliance to keep the Slav
away from the open Mediterranean,
when Turkey was supported by one
British administration after another
because Turkey represented the pre-
text for holding back Russia. But
that was before German ambitions
in the Near East had developed their
present specific character. Germany
wants everything that Britain for
Inerly suspected Russia of wanting,
and more; so Russia and Britain are
pitched into each others arms
whether or no. An alliance of Rus;
STA and Germany now looks almost
al illogical as an alliance of Britain
and Russia looked few years age

COLLEGE MEN IN POLITICS

A significant feature of the Presi-
Dental campaign is the participation
o. large numbers of college men in
all parts of the country. The
Hughes Clubs and the Wilson Clubs,
springing up in colleges and uni
v,rsities, betoken a newly awakened
interest of young men in politics,
hich is going to be mighty good
thing for politics.
Student movements in continental
European nations long have been a
feature of political life. Over there,
moreover, the students have been the
source of much of the radicalism
that has resulted in political evolu-
ton.
A Washington traveller, recently
returned from Scandinavia, gave a
vivid picture of the way in which
students at the Norwegian and
Swedish universities gather with the
middle-aged and gray-bearded gradu-
ates to hold talkfests on politics
and governmental activities.
e In recent years an unusual num-
Der Of educators have entered the
political field, and opinions of col
lege professors and executives are
carrying weight. Much of our po-
litical progress must come from the
college men, and their interest means
they are cultivating deeper ap-
probation of those institutions which
make for more efficient government.
1t used to be a sad spectacle to see
young college. men coming away
from institutions where they should
have gained new ideas about gov
eminent, flocking without question
into the old ruts, and voting blindly
with this party or that. When these
young men begin early to take an
interest in politics they are likely
to cultivate the habit of asking ques-
tions and taking few things for
granted. The parties they enter win
be vitalized by their presence.

He will be looked upon as voicing
the wishes of Germany; and when he
threatens England with a quadruple
alliance for her destruction, he will
be taken, in Downing street, just as
seriously as Downing street thinks
he deserves to be taken. Downing
street knows whether there is dan
ger of Russia pulling away from its
present alliances and engaging in
new ones. There is every reason to
believe that Russia has no intention
of such move until, at least, the
present war shall have been ended
with victory for the entente Ger
many would be glad to wean Rus
STA or France away from the en-
tente. She has tried it with both,
and the net results thus far have
been only a more determined effort
by both countries to put forth their

Russia. The entente powers show
no disposition to become suspicious
of each other merely for the accom-
mediation of Berlin.

THE WASHINGTON SQUARE
PLAYERS

In venturing out on their first
tour, the Washington Square Play
ers Of New York are extending the
scope of one of the most interesting
and unique institutions of the Amer
lean stage.
Three years ago, following the
failure of numerous theaters which
had been started to produce plays
artistically, the Players organizedin
New York with no capital but an
idea and the love of work. They
have succeeded where heavily en-
dowed experiments have failed;
probably because they have had
sufficient sense of humor not to take
themselves too seriously, and because
they have adequately produced short
masterpieces of modern dramatic
literature.
If their theater has done nothing
else. it has proved that what is best
