scarcely possible to measure in ordi-
nary terms. His leaving will. there

OF Doctor Moss life as a citizen
and physician of Columbia, there
could be much written. The gratitude
of parents, the love of little children
and the aid given to every good en-
terprise would each form a chapter,
but his work is not finished. He is
sixty-five, but his mind and body are

miss him, We shall know always that
his interest and prayers are with us,
and his influence and teachings will
still be ours. M.

THE OPEN COLUMN

Editor the Missourian: DIR. Wood
son Moss has just celebrated his six
ty-fifth birthday, and as soon as ar
rangements for his retirement on the
Carnegie fund can be made, a con-
nection of forty-three years with the
University will be severed. These
forty-three years were spent in con-
secutive teaching and constitute the
longest period that any man has been
on the University faculty.
Doctor Moss represents the fourth
generation in his family which has
had connection of some sort with
the University. Both his paternal
and maternal grandfathers were men,
bers of the Board of Curators, and
when the University was being estab-
iished some of the largest gifts came
from members of his family. The
University, therefore, means to him
more than it could mean to a man
who had simply been one of its fac
ulty. 1t represents to him several
generations Of toll and sacrifice in
order that Missouri might have a
proper educational institution.
In his teaching, therefore, Doctor
Moss has been able to impart, along

had faith that he was the man tc
lead them to Q greater liberty.
But with security of position came
firmer hand. The proclamation that
he would restore the spirit to the
army and strength to Russia by blood
and iron if necessary was issued.
He had trouble with the army.
Generals like Korniloff had felt a
sense of power and thought that they
might take over the reins of govern
ment Kerensky, ever the leader,
suppressed Korniloff and his rebel
lion through the faith the people had
in him.
1t now looks as if he has assumed
the position of the dictator and this
may be the case, but his recent sue
cess in holding his power shows that
he is still the leader.

KERENSKY

Alexander Kerensky, the pale and
tubercular lawyer and journalist who
is guiding the Russian provisional
government through one crisis after
another, has been called every name
that can be applied to one in his po-
sition. Firebrand, demagogue, i'm
possibilist, reformer, prophet, man
of the hour and dictator are only a
few of the appellations which have
been given to him. He may be or
may have been some or all of these
things, but above all he is leader
of men.
Before the outbreak of the revolu-
tion Kerensky was the leader of the
Party of Workers, which constitutes
the progressive and somewhat social
istic branch of the Duma. Disclosures
of graft in the army had been made.
but no action was taken to prosecute
the offenders. Under the old regime
this was a matter of course that men
should bribe and be bribed and that
the poorer class should be made to
suffer. Yet these people were fight
ing for their country and the officials
were doing nothing to fight their bat
ties at home.
Later the Gar issued a proclama-
ton dismissing the Duma. The peo-
pie were insensed, but they needed
champion for their cause. When the
proclamation was read, Kerensky and
his faction left the Duma after hurl-
ing a defiance to the government.
Kerensky had the support of the
working people from the first. He
may have appealed to them as dema-
gogue. He could play upon their
emotions, as he knew just what words
would react upon their temperaments.
He had been associated with the
working classes for several years as
their lawyer, scorning what might
have been a lucrative position of an
advocate for the rich had he repressed
his advanced ideas.
Soon his position became secure.
He took his power under the same
conditions as the members of the
early continental congresses in this
country, through the implied and tacit
consent Of the people The people

Unless

President Wilson, in his reply to the
peace proposal of the Pope of August
l. used the little word unless" to EN-
phasize all that America is fighting
for in the world war. He said: I'VE
cannot take the word of the present
rulers of Germany unless explicitly
supported by such conclusive evidence
of the will and purpose of the Ger
man people themselves as the other
peoples of the world would be justi-
fled in accepting"
The President outlined at least five
main peace terms which the United
States would accept in conjunction
with the Allies, and to these can be
added at least three more which he
has voiced in previous discussion.
They are:
/. Deliverance of the free peoples
of the world from the menace of mil
itarism and irresponsible government.
2. Reparation for wrongs.
8. Equal Commercial opportunities.
4. Guarantee of peace terms by
the German people.
5. Reputation of reprisals, puni-
tive damages, dismemberment of en-
pires and exclusive economic leagues.
6. Freedom of the seas.
Z. Limitation of armament
s. Compulsory arbitration.
These are the issues which Amer
leans are going into the war to settle.
But the fight will have been in vain,
unless the fourth of the Presidents
demands is accepted. The word of
the kaiser will never be sufficient to
bind a peace agreement, unless We
can be assured that the German peo-
pie themselves stand back of his
word. The question of the voice of
the German people in the government
of the empire is at the very bottom
of the issue. Unless the HohenZollern
dynasty accedes to the demands of
its enemies for a free Germany, the
war must go on until the house. of
Wilhelm is wiped out, whatever may
be the price.

WOULD FIGHT UNDER UNCLE SAM
VI. U. Unit Members Tire of Being
French Priyates,

A letter received by DR.. l.. M. Defoe
from Howard w. HALEY, former in
structor in advertising in the School
of Journalism, dated August 81,
states that all of the boys who left
with the Missouri unit are loking for
ward to the militarization of the
field service by the United States
Army with great eagerness. Mr..
HALEY says:
"The ambulance sections are now
being taken over, but a report in the
Paris edition of the New York Herald
says that the men in the cannon serv-
ice will not be taken over. If not, we
are going to get out when the four
months are up and join something
run by Uncle Sam. We've had our
fill of being privates in the French
Army.
Joe Jarvis has gone to the Officers
Training Camp at Meaux, where
about $50 Frenchmen and thirty or
forty Americans study for chauffeurs
in the French Transport Service. Jar
Wis was probably best fitted for this
work, as he was about the best auto
mechanic in the bunch.
When we were first assigned to
duty we were in the Princeton section.
Now We are in a new section, of
which We form the nucleus and have
a majority of men. We call it the
Missouri Section. Clay Stark and
Carl Bass of Louisiana, Mo-, are over
here and were assigned to cur bunch
I'VE are living in cannon trailers,
but hope to have barracks before

Keep one warm. We know
that Missouri is doing her part in the
war. and we are glad that We are
here, but wish to advise all Univer-
sity men to enlist from now on in the
regular channels of United States
service"

as the Salvation Army" This is not
