! fore, that no peace can rest securely

| cripple or embarrass others, upon vim

! of revenge or deliberate injury. The
| Amertcan people have suffered intoler

| desire no reprisal upon the German
| people, who have themselves suffered

not the rights of governments-the

dom and security and self-government
and to a participation upon fair terms
in the economic opportunities OF the
world, the German people, OF course,
included, If they will accept equality
and not seek domination.
The test, therefore, of every plan
of peace is this: Is it based upon
the faith of all the peoples involved,
, or merely upon the word Of an am
bilious and intriguing government, on
the one hand, and of a group of free
peoples, on the other? This is a test
which goes to the root of the matter;

Piled
The purpose of the United States
In this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantage of
any kind We believe that the in
tolerable wrongs done in this war by
the furious and brutal power of the
Imperial German government ought
to be repaired, but not at the expense
of the sovereignty of any people
rather a vindication of the sover-
eighty both of those that are weak
and of those that are strong. Punt
tive damages, the dsm emf erment of
empires, the establishment Of selfish
and exclusive economic leagues, we
deem inexpedient and in the end worse
than futile, no proper basis for a
peace of any kind, least OF all for an
enduring peace. That must be based
upon justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind.
We cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as guar
antee of anything that is to- endure
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose or the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accepting.
Without such guarantees treaties Of
settlement, agreements for disarma-
ment, covenants to set up arbitration
in the place of force, territorial ad-
justments, reconstitutions of small !
nations, If made with the German
no man, no nation, could |

We must await some new evidence !

fact, he ignored the classes altogether
and began to get faculty notices for
cuts. But we didn't care about that.
In fact, it pleased us, because at the
end of the term the faculty would have
before it the task of firing the best
mathematics scholar who ever came to
Siwash because he had flunked in two
other studies, and it warmed our hearts
to think of the trouble it would have
deciding the puzzle-particularly If 1t
tried to talk things over with Grab
benheim personally.
In the spring we began introducing
Grabbenheim to the campus. Rearick
wrote few verses in his very best
vein and sent them into the college pa
per under Grabbenheim's name. We
got the athletic associations president
to appoint him On Il couple Of commit
tees. We fed the college reporters
for the weekly with personals about
Grabbenheim until the sheet was sat
urated with him. He had gone home
to Chicago to see his sick mother. He
was absent in Omaha considering a
fine position which had just been Of
fered him. He was attending confer
ence at Kiowa. People began to ask
who this Grab5enheim chap was. But
nobody seemed to know. Most of us
thought he was a junior, but we hadn't
met him. He was very exclusive, we
had heard-he had title over in Rus
STA and had come away to avoid the
nihilists or something of the sort. Pity
he didn't mix more with the fellows.
About April we didn't have time to
do much of anything besides arrang-
ing Grabby's career. He got buster
and buster. Bangs cribbed an arti-
Gle on Russian social conditions from
somewhere and entered it in the sopho-
more essay competition. 1t was so
good that the faculty held meetings
about it and tried to find Grabby in
order to encourage him.
Still we weren't satisfied. Every
night some of us met to discuss Grabby
and improve him and hang some new
and startling ornament on his record
or disposition. Once we almost made
him over altogether into German Of
ficer in exile for fighting a duel.
Pierce fought hard for it, but we voted
him down. But we did consent to run
him for office. This was another pet
dream of Pierce's. He declined to
be happy until Grabbenheimr had been
elected to some college office and had

ents Of his resolved ourselves into an
equally determined committee to pro-
tect him from the rude public and keep
his privacy sacred. For day we sue
ceeded. Then the chase got too hot.
When the calculus class convened it
had seven visitors from other classes
and Pierce had to get up when Grabby
was called upon and explain that he
had been summoned to Chicago on an
country.
In the meantime the one question on
the campus was: Would Mr.. Grab
benheim accept? Would he conde-
scend to become acquainted? Bangs
had taken the job of retailing the ru-
mors concerning Grabbenheim's wealth
and refinement. He had a good imagi-
nation and he worked it to the limit.
BY Friday of that week Grabby had
become a grand duke in disguise, and
when a letter from Chicago with Il
Russian crest on it reached the class
president, twenty trembling hands
helped him open it at the bulletin
board, where it had been posted.
We had wired SnOddy Smith of last
years class, who was tOiling upward
in Chicago at that time, to put us up
a nice letter. Cost us $1.97 to explain
it to him at night rates. Snoddy GER
tainly did well. Don't know where he
dug up the letter paper, but it was
paralyzing. Plain, you know, but oh,
so refined. Mr.. Grabbenheim from the
bottom of his heart thanked his class
mates, whom he hoped some day to
know, for the honor conferred upon
him. did he presume in believing the
college paper which he had just read
before his departure Mr.. Grabben-
helm wished that he might accept, but
ali, dear friends, your strange GUS
toms, your strange but delightful GUS
toms-he could not hope to get help
here the president stopped and looked
at the letter for a long time, while we
cursed Snoddy under our breaths and
swore that if he queered the game by
his foolishness we'd get revenge if it
took lifetime-to get help to social
usages at that dear old Siwash college.
How could he accept, knowing so little
All, no, dear friends, but a lifetime of
gratitude. AS we say in Russia
Then followed row Of jackstones
and some splashes which looked so

Mr.. Grabbenheim, who has not thus
far claimed the delight Of knowing
personally his comrades in the pursuit
Of all wisdom, would count it privi-
lege and an honor to attend the ball
There was more, but that was
enough. All present Immediately gave
three cheers. Grabbenheim, the mys-
terry, was about to emerge. We, the
sophomores, would spring him on a
dazzled college. We, the sophomores,
were the people by terrific majority,
and who dared deny it?
Grabbenheim was the only subject
Of conversation for the next few days.
Everybody knew all about him now.
He was enrolled in lit apd Latin COM
position, but never attended. Mathe-
MATES seemed to be his only interest.
He was said to be wonderful in cal
culus. What did he look like? We an
swered thousand questions that
week-that is, we side-stepped them.
He was all very well, we explained
too quiet, but oh, soZyou know. Wait
until the athletic dance. And mean
time the sale of tickets scared and

a great college service. He was break
ing the record for receipts, and, good

About that time another letter came
from Smith. It didn't come to us, but
to Miss Andrews of the senior class,
and ten minutes after she opened 1t
the whole school knew about it. Count
Grabbenheim had asked her for the
honor of a dance. We saw through
it: in minutes Snoddy was getting
little service out of Grabby himself.

honor on her in his usually reckless
and impudent way. oh, we'll, we

To Dream or to Do

How often the world regrets the los:
of achievements that men have con-
templated-and never achieved! The
inventions that the unpersistent have
never worked out; the pictures that
artists have rested content with see
ing only in their brains; the books
that have never got beyond their au-
thors' outlines; the epics that poets
have only planned; the hundreds Of
altruistic deeds existing only as i'm
pulses; how often mankind has re-
GREETED such losses. But instead Of
feeling sorry about it, pity the would
be doors. William James counsels

had an affair with a girl. Working
up love affair for a man who ex-
listed only in the disordered brains OF
few disorderly sophomores was too
much of job for us. But we thought
we could manage the election, and so
we finally picked out place on the ex-
ecutive committee of the spring ath-
letic dance and put Grabbenheim up
for it,
Pierce pulled it off in fine shape at
the class meeting. He rose, he ex-
blamed, to do a peculiar thing. He
wanted to nominate man whom most
of, the class had never scientific best
mathematician who had ever come to
Siwash-a man of noble and distin-
guished bearing-a future king of ath-
letes and a defender of the old school
on many a field-but a man SO shy and
reserved that it had seemed impossi-
/ Bile to drag him out into college life.
He was about to nominate AlOysius
Grabbenheim ("Sergius, you fool"
Bangs whispered frantically) as a
member of the committee for the
sophomore class. The honor might
encourage him to mingle. Though he
would probably decline, it would show
him that Siwash hearts beat warmly
for him, etc.-gurgle, gurgle, gush.
EePierce was a great little jam-spreader,
and the class ate it all up. 1t elected
Grabbenheim, though Simpkins made a
frantic speech against honoring an I'M
known, who didn't have interest
enough to get acquainted around the

the performance, but he was kind. Oh,

We plotted fiercely all night. The
dance was only three days away and
time was short. The next day Pierce
and I disappeared from our accus-
toned haunts in the afternoon. We
had with us tools and lunch. The
old main building stands open until
six, and it wasn't hard for us to ram
BILE casually up to the third floor with
out meeting anyone and insert our
selves into Professor: Wogg's room.
It was no trick at all to get out of
Professor Wogg's room and into the
chemical laboratory. The locks were
up-to-date, but the doors weren't. They
cut like cheese. 1t was just nine
o'clock when we finally stood before
our prey, and the moonlight filtering
through the big narrow-paned windows
made it unnecessary to use lights. 3
We worked mostly with acids. They
are so satisfactory. We mixed them
all together and poured them wherev-
err they would do the most good. We
burned villainous remarks on the wall
paper. We used litmus paper by the
bale and test tubes by the barrel.
