Mr.. Asquith.

Among the eminent British premiers
and leading statesmen of our time must
he included Herbert H. Asquith, who re-
linquished his commission on Tuesday
from patriotic motives. As on more
than one occasion in the past when there
were differences in government councils
and crisis arose, he could have re-
manned in Office by proposing compro-
mise, so great is his personal influence
among his colleagues, so strong Is the
faith of the country in his ability hon
esty of purpose and self control.
1t has been well said of Mr.. Asquith
that he is "a man whom the emergency
has always found greater than the occa-
sion" 1t was so in the Ulster crisis
when he saved the government by assum-
ing the duties of secretary of state tor
war and steadying the House of Com
mons by proving himself its intellectual
master. 1t was so when he formed the
coalition cabinet to carry on the war
Probably no other man in England could
have brought together so many aspiring
politicians and harmonized their differ
ences. The new cabinet contained explo-
sive material and brief life was pre-
dicted for it. Yet Mr.. Asquith's example
was so potent that he held his remark
able cabinet together almost to the end
of the most tragic year of England's ex-
istence.
Mr.. Asquith wanted the government to
present front of union and strength to
the enemy to the end He deprecated di-
vision and uncertainty. Above all be re-
garded general election as fraught with
vT.t1 nd
prove to the world that England has not
lost control of her destiny he has made
a sacrifice for harmony and union.
In a critical hour Mr.. Asquith disdains
to consider his personal fortunes or to
make a test of his power, and he IS
again the statesman Controversy Tor
political advantage has always been alien
to him. He is essentially man of con
servative Judgment and disinterested pur-
pose. The welfare of England has al
ways been his sole concern. He has new
err cultivated the politicians art OF popu-
laritv. and yet through two years OF
stress and storm and upheaval his lead
ership has never been seriously chal-
lenged.
There could be no finer tribute to the
quality of his intellect and the fibre OF
his character.
Mr.. Asquith rendered his resignation
not because his power had been shaken
and he must yield to the inevitable, but
because he would not engage in contro-
versv that threatened disaster to the
country if differences were not soon com
posed. 1t is inconceivable that British
government could conduct the war with
out the Judgment of Herbert Asquith az
the council table. and public opinion will
no doubt demand that he be retained IN
the government even if he does not lead

BOUNDARY LINES.
Mostly Straight In Our Land, Crooked
and illogical Abroad,

and lIloSiChl NpTohu'
Most United states boundaries are
straight lines, and the majority OF
these lines are due north and south or
east and west Where the lines are
not straight they are nearly always
established either By rivers or by
mountain ridges, II is very simple to
know where one state ends and an
other begins.
In Europe, on the contrary, nearly
oil boundaries are established by
crooked and usually Illogical lines. The
frontiers wind about like foolish COW
paths, The more important lines are
definitely established. for they are too
important to be left I'm doubt. But on
some OF the dividing lines guessing be-
comes fine art
The arbltrarlness Of European bound
aries is largely relic of the old I'M
scientific centuries. But even In this
highly scientific century, when new
lines are to be laid out, they follow
the old meandering custom. After the
Balkan wars the new boundaries were
fixed as they were 500 years ago, Who'll
" without regard to geometry or sim
plicity.
The contrast Is a minor indication OF
fundamental difference. The new
world is more businesslike than the
old. 1t goes more directly to the point
1t does practical things in more
practical way. A straight line is more
practical than curl or an arabesque
And so the United States Is strong for
straight lines Cleveland Plain Dealer

A Joke THAT FAILED.

"Nlalor Thomas J. Jackson, later the

General Armistead, an antebeiium

tute. "'old Jack as the students
called him, with his worn UNIFORM

lous angle upon his big head, rusty OLD
cavalry saber and ungraceful gait was

of soldier. Nevertheless 1t was pos
sible even then TO guess at the real
greatness of the man.
"Tbe guns we used In our artillery
drills were pulled by hand. AS tne
drill would proceed our Instructor
would become transformed into the
very semblance of Mars himself as,
with form erect. waving sword ana
flashing eye, he would give the COM

the campus like the blast of bugle.

Enthused Over Alma Mater

Making boys out of men, just as ii made men out of boys, is what the How ard college spirit is doing with the alum nj association said Judge Thomas R.
 Lea, a former Howard student. q be- lieve I have never seen Howard alumni so enthused over their alma mater. Sometime ago we began holding weekly luncheons every Monday at the Hillman hotel, and at first only few attended,
 but the attendance has grown from week to week and last Monday we had to get a number more chairs to accommodate the old Crimson and Blue boys
 with the approach of football season, much interest is being manifested in what Howard will be able to do in the S. I. A. A. field this year, and the old stu dents are putting life into their co-opera- tion with the athletic association. think I never saw anything stir so much enthu- siasm among members of the association as the coming of Dr. J. B. Longwell as athletic director. He undoubtedly has the full support of the alumni association and their confidence in him seemingly is inspiring the students"
