THE FOOT.PATH TO PEACE

To be glad of life because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not contented with your
self until you have made the best of
them; to despise nothing in the world
except falsehoO dand meanness, and
to fear nothing except cowardice; to
except falsehOOd and meaness, and
begOverned by your admirations rath-
er than by your disgusts; to cOvet
nothing that is your neighbours except
his kindness of heart and gentleness
of manners; to think seldom of your
enemies, often of your friends, and
every day of Christ; and to spend
as much time as you can, with body
and with spirit, in Gods out-of-dOOrs.
These are the little guide posts on
the foot-path to peace.-Henry van
Dyke.

the influential and representative peo-
pie while at the same time draining
every possible channel of informa-
ton from the coast of Maine to the
Mexican border, where Won Papen
studied our methods Of attack and
from where he wrote to Germany that
American explosives would cut no
important figure in a possible Euro

The work of the German secret ser
vice man in the United States is sum-
married as follows: He inspired food
riots in New York, opposed the draft
law under the cloak of the |. W. W,
blew up munition plants, caused
strikes in the airplane forces in the
northwest, erected wireless sets in
Mexico by which he could communi-
cate with Germany, placed poisonous
germs in food at our army camps, as
sisted informed Germans to escape and
worked in airplane factories for the
purpose of injuring the machinery so
that aviators would be killed.
These are only a few instances of
the work that has been done in our
own communities under our very eyes.

THE OPEN COLUMN

Editor the MissOurian: l would re-
mind the wOuld-be facetious Senior
whose letter was published in your
issue of November 6, that in the Mis-
sourians of Friday and Saturday last,
the complete list of voluntary quaran-
tine rules is printed.
Also, posters are now located in
conspicuous places, giving definitely
and briefly the rules which the wOm-
en- of the University voluntarily adopt
ed to prevent the spread of the intiu-
enza. They have been up since the
rules were passed.
Also, let me point out that these
stringent rules have so aided the med
ical authorities in suppressing the
epidemic, that it might almost be said
the worst is over.
II the person who wrote the letter
above referred to had been personally
interested in discovering just what
the rules were, the adviser of women
has always been and is available by
telephone, as was and is also the
president of the Student Government
Association.
1t is suggested that the writer of
the letter mentioned use little more
reasoning power than seems to have
been the case.

ARE YOU SAVING COAL!

Are you helping the Government
save coal? Our ships, our railroads,
our manufacturing plants all have to
have coal to win the war. What the
householder wastes is rObbing the
Governments reserve of fuel. Care
for your heater yourself this winter,
so as to get out of your coal every
ounce of heat it will produce.
Do not heat unnecessary rooms; do
not overhead your rooms. Do not let
ashes collect in your stove or furnace.
Keep the pipes clean from SCOT.
Do not let your fire go down to
low at night. 1t takes twice as much
coal to heat up again the next morn
ing.
Keep the air moist by pans of water
on radiators or stoves.

MISSOURI AND THE WAR

Missouri's share in the great world
war, that now appears to be reach
ing the final stages, has reflected on
the land of the big red apple" I'm
perial Missouri has Loyalty respond
ed to the call to the colOrs, and now
more than 100000 of her bravest sons
are wearing the khaki.
Missouri has responded generously
to every financial call. She has more
than met every obligation. She has
gone over the top on the First, Sec
Ond, Third and Fourth Liberty Loans.
She has bought millions of dollars in
War Savings Stamps.
Her contributions to the Red Cross
have been as generous as those OF
any other State. She has never been
Weighed in the balance and found
waTting.
Now MissOurians must not be
misled by peace talk, and peace APP
pearances, and feel that their Obli-
cations are at an end. Missouri sent
your boy and my boy to the war to
fight for the right and to uphold the
glory and traditions of our wonderful
state and country. We have pledged
ourselves to support and succor them
That pledge must be redeemed.
Even if peace came today we are
not through. Thousands of boys
yours, and mine, are in hospitals or
camps over there" They need ev-
cry attention we can bestow. They
need the books that the American Lii
brary Association will give. They need
the visits of the entertainers of the
Y. NJ. c. A. They need the coffee
and the doughnuts of the Salvation
Army. They need the ministra'i T
the knights of Columbus, the Y. W.
c. A., the Jewish Welfare Board.
Every mothers son of them will
receive this and more if Missouri fails
not in the campaign next week to
raise S7,5OO,5 500 to hearten our boys"
an bring them safely back to us.
And Missouri will not fail
St Louis and Kansas City will raise !
two-thirds of this amount. The citi-
zens of the rest of the state will not
fail to give freely.

PAY DAY FOR S. A. 7. {.
Line Formed at | O'clock
Interfering Classes Were
Cut.

Today was the first payday for the
members of the S. A. 7. c. The line
started at l O'Clock this afternoon
with the medical department, the
companies following in order, first,
second, and so on. Glasses that inter-
fered with getting their pay were
not attended by the S. A. T. {. mem
bers.
The majority of the students re-
ceived about $23, the remainder going
for insurance, unless some was to be
sent to dependents. Then, too. if one
had been unlucky enough to eat a
bite of food at the mess hall before
the order for seats was given, $40
more was deducted from his pay.
Besides the insurance deduction,
many students who subscribed for
Liberty Bond received either S. or
$40 less.

THE NEW BOOKS

"German Secret Service i'm america
The German Secret Service in
America" is an up-to-the-minute book
exposing the methods by which Ger
man secret agents under oath set
out to obtain complete information
concerning the industrial, social and
military organization of the United
States and the weakness of each that
they might know the vulnerable points
of attack.
The vivid account of the bribery,
sedition, murder, arson, theft and
other violations of law to which the
German spy stopped is only an open
denunciation of the Prussian means
of subverting the aims of our govern
ment
Germany sent her most polished dip

With the British Armies in France,
Sept. 3O.-(NighD-The Belgian, Brit
ish advance in Flanders is continuing
rapidly, despite some of the most ter
rifle fighting of the war. The British,
at one point, brought their guns up
and established them on ridge fac
ing the German batteries on another
ridge only 900 yards away. There the
opposings attilleries ,biazed away at
each other until the enemy guns were
entirely silenced. The Belgians have
taken Dixmude, following street fight
ing which centered about the town.
Four fresh divisions are reported to
have reinforced the Germans opposite
the Belgians, including the Tooth reg
iment which sacked Dinant early in
the war.
All enemy guns in 'Houthust forest
were captured, bringing the total TAX
en- by the Belgians up to more than 300.
The British have taken about 100.
One British division advanced 12,-

day. The British are well cast of Moor

Standard Oil Company
Quick To Cooperate

Asking the cooperation of the NOM
bers of the oil industry and the public
at large in the movement to conserve
man power, d. NJ. Folsom, director of
the Pacific coast section of the oil
division Of the fuel administration, has
announced that all sellers and distribu
tors of gasoline and engine distillate,
without exception, have been requested
to limit their sales to the hours between
6 a. m. and p. m. The appeal is be-
ing made in all states of the Pacific
coast section, including California, Orc
gon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada,
Utah and Idaho and the Hawaiian Is
lands. The limit of thehours Of SER
vice will work no inconvenience on the
gasoline and engine distillate consum-
ing public, requiring only little fore
thought in order to secure their require
ments.
With the public cooperating with
the oil companies and making their
purchases only during the hours suggest
ed by Mr.. Folsom. it is pointed out
that large reduction can be made in
the number of employees needed in the
distribution of gasoline and engine dis
tillate throughout the Pacific coast
states and these men released are made
available for the national service.
Mr. Folsom acted at the suggestion
of the Pacific coast petroleum war SER
vice committee, which has been CON
sidering the problem of conserving man
power for some time, following the ap-
peal of A. G. Bedford, chairman Of the
national petroleum war service commit
tee. Mr., Bedford stated in recent
communication to the western body
that two essentials were to be kept in
mind in taking steps to meet the ma
tional emergency, first:
"That every man within the draft
ages whom it is possible to dispense
with should be spared for military SER
vice."
Second: "That the vital Importance
of the oil industry to the successful
carrying on of the war requires the re-
tention Of an adequate force to main
tain the industry in the highest state
of operating efficiency"
Chairman Baruch. of the war indus
tries board, in recent order placed the
oil industry first inthe list of essential
industries.
The movement to conserve the man
power Of the country was initiated by
Mark L. Requa, head of the oil divis-
ion of the fuel administration, who ur-
gcd that every man that can possibly
be dispensed with be released for ma
tional service.
