PEOPLE WARNED
AGAINST SPREAD OF A
PR0-GERMAN SENTIMENT

TOXIC. June S.--A warning against
the spread of pro-German sentiment
among the Japanese people has been
uttered by DR.. Inazo Nitobe, famous
scholar. Through the columns of a
popular business organ he has declar-
ed that two dangers confront his peo-
pie during the present war. The first
is the pro-German illusion and the sec
Iond the tendency to luxurious living.
He said: Though Japan is one OF
the belligerents, We did only a little
lighting at the outset of the war, and
for the rest we did nothing but make
gain. We realized unexpected profits
through war trade. Some Japanese
make no hesitation in offering un-
stinted tribute of admiration at the
German altar.
This is no time for the Japanese to
indulge in lauding the Germans AMI
djsparaging the Entente peoples. II
Germany should win victory in this
war and control Europe, it would be
al, appalling calamity for all the states
of the Orient. If the Japanese were
SO much bewitched by the splendid
German organization as to adore other
Objectionable German qualities, such
as disregard of justice, humanity and
international treaties, it would be a
most deplorable misfortune for the ma
ton.
IF the German ambitions should be
realized, Japan herself, unless she
were conquered by Germany would
have to become military, and
sacrifice all other aims of civilization
at the altar of accumulation of wa
Ike weapons and military prepared
ness. With country like Germany
roaming about at large in the world
there could never be guarantee of
peace without powerful militar ;
strength"
DR.. Nitobe condemns the extrava
agance of those who have become rich
through the war, and says they are
exercising degenerating influence On
the morality CT the masses of the peo-
pie.

that when any person within said district

Harper's Record at Notre
Dame an Enviable One

proved itself the better coached
team and won by a small margin
Makes Sport Better.
Harper has ever been progressive
since coming TO Notre Dame. He
innovated the three-year eligibility
rule, has advocated and cooperated
with the faculty in obtaining a high
grade Of scholarship, has shown
himself relentless in enforcing all
rules Of amateurism. He has coun-
tenanced nothing but the highest
grade of craftsmanship.
Harper showed exceptional judg-
ment early in his career as a coach
for the gold and blue. That was
when he took unto himself Knute
ROckne, an assistant who has done
much for him. What Harper thinks
of ROckne and what Rockne thinks
of Harper is too affectionate for
space here.
Harper was a great man in 1913
when he flashed across the athletic
horizon with an unbeatable team of
veterans; he was a far greater man
during 1917 when he moulded a
team from the greenest of material
and battered his way through the
heaviest schedule in the history Of
Notre Dame with just one defeat

f.. S. Stewart expressed regret that
the Missouri valley champions would
not be able 10 play army teams.
The coach said, however, that he
could not ask the members of the
team to engage in any more games,
as they are not in physical condition
to continue the sport.
The cornhuskers have gone
through the hardest schedule ever
arranged for a Nebraska team and
one of the stiffest played by any
team in the country this season.
With a maximum squad of about 20
men this year, and with an IN
equalled hospital list, the cornhusk-
ers have had TO play their first
line men in every hard contest Of
the season, with the result that the
men have had the hardest kind of
drill. The squad was the small
est in history at the university, due
TO the war call.
