Maximilian Harden Gives

Copenhagen, May 1. Maximilian
Harden, the German "enfant terrible, :"
publishes in the latest issue of Die

"shams, pretenses and mistakes" of
their Governments policy
The article is devoted to the entry
of the United States into the war,
which Herr Harden warns the people
must be taken most seriously. both
from the moral side. as a symptom of
the weakness of Germanys appeal to
the neutral world and the failure of
her foreign policy, and because of the
physical aspects of the weight that
America will ultimately be able to
throw into the scale. In the article he
reviews the steps leading to the Ger
man and American peace proposals.

with a daring to which probably no
other German publicist is equal. that

forward only as a bridge over which
Germany could pass to relentless sub
marine warfare.

portant it would mean much for the
students physical well being. Up at
Wisconsin, DR.. Meanwell had hun
dreds of men working in intramural
sports, he had class teams of hockey,
tennis, basketball and the other sports.
BY getting men interested in inter-
department and inter-class athletics
he developed new material for the
teams that were to represent Wiscon-
sin.
This is a day when people realize
more and more the need for some sort
of physical exercise for everyone. Be
it in football, baseball, basketball or
track or in any of the other lines of
athletics it is generally agreed that a
man who interests himself in this way
adds years to his life. Missouri is
fortunate I'M having a man like
Athletic Director Meanwell at the
head of the athletic department here.
And he will find the University ready
and eager to respond to his call for
sports. NJ. P.

the lover of books, there is a solace in
fayorite author and a comfortable
chair which never fails.
The fresh air cure works sometimes
too. A brisk tramp in the woods has
cleared away many an imaginary per-
plexity. And the work remedy mustn't
be forgotten. To one who is really in
terested in his own work, a steady ap-
plication of that work will serve as a
panacea for most ills.
Perhaps, best of all, though, is
the "get-interested-i in n-somebody-else"
method. Here again, there must be
resolves. 1t is hard at first to take
any notice of even friends when hearts
are heavy. But there is delicious
satisfaction, after all, in meddling with
other peoples affairs, and after the
other fellow has poured out his tale of
woe, and one has advised him, it is
how little of ones own
troubles are left.
OF course for the constitutional
crouch there isn't much hope. We
long ago learned that he was happiest
when blue, and we accordingly let
him enjoy himself in his own way.

A CITIZEN
Why Was Windsor Street Slightedl

Editor the Missourian: According
to the announcement made in the
Sunday Morning Missourian, the
Hoover pledge-signing campaign is
ended. Evidently the women in
charge of the soliciting were not
aware of the existence of thorough
fare known as Windsor street At
any rate, | know at least five families
on that street who had no opportunity
to sign the Hoover pledge, notwith-
standing their willingness so to do
For the benefit of the women respon-
sible for the oversight, we wish to
state that Windsor is a paved street
running east from Price avenue. Why
were the residents of Winsor street
overlooked? We are cOnservationists
and observe not only 'meatless" days,
but "meatless" weeks.

Editor the Missourian: At this time
when the football season is at its
height and there is little time for the
athletically inclined man to think of
any other line of sport, it may seem
bit inappropriate to talk of in
tramural sports. Dr. w. E. Meanwell,
the University of Missouri's new
athletic director, however, in outlin-
ing his program at Missouri and in his
work since has shown an inclination
to take up this sort of physical exer-
else, and the University must realize
just what such an innovation would
mean to University men.
To have two-thirds or even half of
the men in school here working in
some sport would mean much toward
the improvement not only of other
sports here but, what is more inn

convenience Of cold house because
it is impossible to get fuel.
And all this is taking place when
Columbia has big coal deposits near
at hand that have not been touched
Why is it that the city cannot take
advantage of the opportunity and make
use of the supply which may be had
for the digging? True. the coal in
Boone County is not of the highest
grade, but poor grade coal is better
and makes far more heat than none.
1t would seem that a stock company
could quickly be formed among Co.
lumbia business men and several
shafts could be sunk Immediately to
relieve citizens during the present
crisis. With no transportation charges
and other expenses for bringing coal
long distance, the company ought to
be a paying proposition from the
first. And the venture might result in
greater activity along this line in the
future.
The present problem. however, is to
relieve the coal shortage situation. II
Columbia can supply her own needs
now she is doing that much toward
winning the war.

A PERMANENT MEMORIAL

Missouri will celebrate its hundredth
anniversary as a state during 1920
and 1921 with series of events over
the entire state.
On August 10. 1921, President Mon
roe signed the decree which made
Missouri one of the United States OF
America. Since that memorial day
this state has assumed greater and
greater role in the civic and military
affairs of the nation. Home of two OF
the greatest cities of the country. one
of the leading corn producing states
in the Union and the seat of the great
est zinc and lead industries in the
world Missouri is also daily becoming
a greater factor in finance and re-
sources.
Starting with such famous pioneers
as Daniel Boone, Missouri has added to
her list of men who do until she now
can boast of an unusual share IN
honors of leadership. At the head OF
the selective draft machinery stands
General Enoch Crowder of Grumpy
County; leading the American forces
in France as one of the six generals
in the history of this country is John
]. Pershing, native of Linn County;
in the midst of the political chaos of
Russia, guiding the affairs of this ma
ton with a steady hands. is former
Governor David R. Francis. These are
only few of the famous men who are
daily adding more honor to the name
of Missouri.
Shall the hundredth anniversary OF
our proud state pass by with only
speeches and banquets to commemo-
rate such an important event? The
famous backgrounds of the Revo-
lutionary and Civil wars are marked
by permanent memorials that time
may not efface from the memories of
our descendants the sacredness OF
these spots. How much more fitting to
mark this turning point in the
centuries of Missouri with a perma-
nent memorial.
