waits quota for the army needed after the war
After recovering from the first hysteria OF the
uor in its relation TO educational institutions. gov
eminent officers have made particular point OF
urging the colleges of agriculture and mechanic
arts to greater activity No closed doors for these
colleges. Not only during the war but more esPe
ciallv in the period Of rehabilitation after the war
the world will need every trained engineer aVall
able And it will need the trained agricuturallsts
the scientists and the women schooled In the Varl
Gus branches covered by the general term, domestic
economy. The call will be for men and women with
the educational foundation gained in the colleges
of which our own institution is an excellent type
Young men and young women of Hawaii to be OF
real value to themselves and the country must have
the technical equipment of advanced courses in en-
gineering and science. They find no better op'
portunitv than right here in Hawaii. This is true
despite the fact that we still have among US relics
of the siurian age who question the value OF this
college and even a college education.
In special sense the faculty Of the college OF
Hawaii returning to their work for the coming year
are answering a national call to the colors. The
same may be said # the students planning to enter
and others returning to their classes
The country. the world indeed, cries out for men
and women who know how, who can apply science,
who will be capable of tackling intelligently the
physical reconstruction that will be the great task
of the next generation.
Graduates Of the College of Hawaii are without
exception in the ranks of the producers in the first
line of support so to speak. One graduate of last
year in the course in engineering left Immediately
to take place in the engineering corps Of the army
He with others are found where they are best able
to serve.
The whole faculty and student body of the col
lege are today engaged in definite service for the
country, that deserves their undivided attention,
always remembering that the nationally endowed
college of agriculture and mechanic arts is and
should be the medium on community service as
necessity demands and opportunity is presented.

We Turk alone in the tempest,

AS we suck our brave foes to the

To hell with civilization,
Damnation to mercy and love;
Up, up with the satanic banner,
Down with our God that's above.
Our drink is the vipers venom,
Our bread the essence of hate,
Our lives swell the path Of destruc

We yearn not for the love Of a mate
We live the lives of the hunted
And shun the haunts Of men,
Our bloody hands point forth to the

We glory in the past that has been
We treasure the shrek OF our victims,
AS they gasp for their lives in the

We bid them farewell to their death,

We care not whom they may be.
Many bones lie bleaching below US
They have found rest at last on the

Victims to a cause of destruction,
Masked in the garb of a civilized
