 CT do not believe" said MT. Bryan. "that any nation of Europe is going to drag us into the war. But if a madman of Europe should challenge us we would be justified in saying We have 100,000,O00 to guard and we will not get down in the mire to flight on the level of your false stand ards'''
 Bryan deprecated the war talk of the last few days and intimated that the result of the heated debate in congress would be to imperil the peace of the United States. He said:

It was expected that Challenge would create a furore, but the first number contains nothing that will cause the college authorities to suppress it, it is said
 Miss Norton is the author of an article in Challenge urging college girls to prepare for intelligent moth erhood
 All the editors of Challenge are students either of Columbia or Bar nard. Frightened by the attitude of Dean V. C. Gildersleeve of Barnard, two of the women editors, students at Barnard, have resigned.
