love of fair play ripened into alarm at our own peril"
 We were honest with Germany all through our dealings. Germany was
 not honest with us. We were called
 towards because of our policy of
 watchful waiting, waiting for Ger
 many to come back within the realm
 of reason and common sense. But
 Germany had and has no sympathy
 with form of government such as
 exists in these United States We are
 the village in the valley. She is the
 castle on the hill. We are democracy,
 the people. She is autocracy, who
 rules by divine right. Looking back
 over three years of history it is easily
 seen why We fight Germany, the castle
 on the hill. We fight her because of
 Belgium, invaded, outraged, cnslaved, impoverished, devastated Belgium. We fight Germany because of France, the land of Lafayette, the land that helped America win its freedom, and the land whose freedom is now threat ened. Even the England that We once fought and defeated upon the land and upon the sea, and which has in many ways been our tradition al enemy, offers a reason why we fight Germany. Because by our war with England we brought freedom to Australia and Cana da, with whom we now fight side by side, and if England is defeated by Germany Canada must go by default, and then the next step over the bor- der is the United States. A German colony on our north would be even a worse menace to us than a Mexico on our south; the prey of schemdng European diplomats. Germany offered us an invasion through Mexico which was happily nipped Tn the bud. What she would do were she to possess Canada is left to the imagination. There are million reasons why we fight Germany, million reasons besides Russia who
 
 has sprung into new life and who. through us, must come into being as q real Republic. We fight Germany be- cause we do not believe in govern ment by militarism; because Germany lied to us and fooled us; because Ger many murdered our innocent men, women and children on the Lusitania and the Sussex and other ships; be- cause Germany violated our confi- dence: because she filled this land with plotters and spies and bomb throwers; because Germany has no That is part of the indict-- ment against Germany, the Castle on the Hill. And only part. It should be no mystery why we are fighting Germany. The facts in the case are plain enough for anyone with a mind to see. We are fighting feudahsm.- the right of the castle on the hill to rule the village below.

The Graduate.

The Graduate. Listen my Muse and be attune To the early days of blooming June, For not alone the flowers smile, But Boys and Girls step forth tho
 while
 From study halls and patient toll. They too in beauty blossom forth From halls of duty South or North, And say in this their Graduation. We now can better serve our nation, All ready for some higher station. The discipline of drill in books Has given purposes to our looks And fits us both for peace or war, To sail the ocean or the air, For any crisis to prepare. All honor to our Graduates Who pour forth from the College
 gates;
 They will await the Country's cali . Who will ere long their names install Upon some lofty pedestal. With discipline of mind and thought, Behold the deeds the great have
 wrought
 And woman now comes to her own, For equal rights she hath we'll won, And Q new race she hath begun. Forget not. you who have been The Faithful Tutorslwno have sought Eour highest welfare and success, And of Houn minds would fain im- 2 k The mold of truth and happiness. I see you reach tho childhood home, The old Folk there so glad you've
 come;
 Don't be too proud to soil your hand Tn kitchen, or to hoe the land, For you will there be in demand. New Britain will your presencs. miss: Dear boy or girl, we throw a kiss And say God speed whate'er betide, Your every footstep may He guide. And heath His wing may you abide.

NEW PLAN TO GUIDE
THE BOWDOIN FRESHMAN

Brunswick, Me-, March 12.-(Spe-
ciaD-As a medium between the free
dom of the elective system and the
stiff formalities of the system of ad-
vlsers for Freshmen, Bowdoin College
has devised a new plan for guiding
Freshmen in the selection Of their
courses. Under the new system the
class will be divided in two, and each
man will have private conference
either with President Hyde or Dean
Stills in which a plan for each in
dividual course will be mapped out for
four years with the view Of getting the
best rounded course for each particu-
lar mans life work Under the elective
system the tendency has been to
choose easy subjects. and the purpose
of this conference is to advise the men
to avoid all such "cinch" courses. and
AXE the subjects best fitted for them
u their life work.
in order to get the students to think
about this matter the College Office is
this week sending out to the Freshmen
the following letter of excellent advice
written by President Hyde and Dean
Sills.
II am sending this letter to all men,
bers of the Freshman class to remind
them that it is time to be thinking OF
tho work for next year and to be plan
ming for their future college course. L
hope very much to be able to nave IN
dividual conferences with each member
of the class in regard to his choice OF
studies for next year. In the mean
time. will you not give this matter your
careful consideration, and map out Tor
Yourself a scheme of courses that you
plan to take next year and your junior
and senior years also? After making
provision for the required courses. and
for YOUR majors and minors, you
should consider very seriously the ad-
visibility of taking some course or
other in the following fields: /. Phi
losophy and Psychology. ,. Mathe-
MATES and Science. B. Modern
Languages and Literature. 4. An
cent Languages and Literature. D.
The Social Sciences-History, Govern
ment and Economics.
A man who goes through Bowdoin
I College without any course in Science,
is not well rounded educationally. The
same thing is true Of man who
neglects Literature, or History, or
Philosophy Furthermore. every man
in going through college ought to find
some subject which he may in later
life make his intellectual hobby; some
field which has nothing whatever to do
with his professional or business
career and which he cultivates simply
for the love of it. For example, a
physician may take a great deal OF
pleasure in Greek Literature; rail-
road official in Botany: a clergyman in
Chemistry; or a lawyer in Italian Lit
erature. If you discover in your col
lege course something which Will give
YOU pleasure all through your life, you
will be getting one of the great bene-
fits of college education.
I II shall be very glad to have you
consult with me at any time about
YOUR work for the future, and hope you
will keep these things in mind until we
have a conference"
