BUCHTEL'S
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

Following are extracts from the
lor Henry A. Buchtel of the University
of Denver at the graduating exercises
of the class of 1918 at the Garfield
County High school, May 9. The sub
ject of his lecture was "Are There
Moral Gains in War?'
Confessedly there are great moral
and material losses in war. The whole
world believes this except the junker
party in Europe. This party holds a
barbarian view of war; its views are
based on the writings of Bernhard. In
his book, Germany and the Next
he who opposes war is absolutely i'm
moral. 1t is essential to culture and
progress. Without war humanity would
degenerate and decay. 1t is the nat
ural way of getting rid of the weak
and making way for the strong. He
sncers at the American idea that the
weak should be cared for and helped
to come to their best, instead of being
destroyed. He expresses the convic-
, tion that no people, especially the Ger
mans themselves are capable of self
government.
The chancellor called attention to the
fact that our nation, the strongest on
earth, is governed by Germans, Irish,
English, French, Dutch, Scandanavians
and their descendants, who disagreed
with Bernhard and who, in this coun-
try, have proved they are capable of
self government. The speaker stated
that the Independent Socialists and
the majority of the reichstag are
against the German war program. He
showed by quotations from speeches
delivered in the reichstag that these
men take the same position in this
matter that President Wilson does.
The chancellor prophesied that event
ually the small but dominant war party
will be relegated to place of con.
tempt in the minds of all German peO-
pie. He deplored the horrors of war,
especially one waged in the manner in
which this one is being waged, but en-
couraged his audience to expect some
good to come out of it which otherwise
would not have come to pass He said
God often puts His hand into the
maelstrom of hell and brings good out
Of evil. He did this in our own civil
war.
Before 1861 when any state was dis
pleased by any act Of the national
government it would threaten to dis
rupt the government by seeding from
the union. States seemed to feel that
membership in the union was voluntary

Knights of Columbus have no hut hele
so the Y. M. c. A. let US use their
building.' This means that between
and IL o'cl,'k Sunday morning the
protestant i. NJ. G. A. hut was filled
twelve different times with worshipirg
Catholic soldiers. This bond of unity
will never die out.
There has been a great revival Of
prayer and conviction. In support OF
| this statement the chancellor told tie
| following incidents % A dispatch r. Ter
with his motorcycle found it Necessary
to cross a piece of ground which was
being continually raked by machine
gun fire. The young fellow pulled his
cap down firmly on his head, threw
one limb across the saddle and seeme5
ready to start He dismounted from
his machine again, however, removed
his cap stood sth barred head by his
machine and IN an audible tone prayed,
Lord, yol F-ow that l don It s.ve a
damn foy myself, but for England 3
sake help me TO get through -
He stated tnat Bishop Mcconnell s
son, who bag been an ambulance driver
in France and has recently returned
home, tells Of three narrowing expert
ences of his own. Twice while cross
ing the zone of fire with load of
wounded soldiers his ambulance was
blown to pieces and every one in it but
himself killed. Once while driving
, along with a load of wounded he was
siezed with an irrisistable impulse to
jump from his seat and run. He dill
50 without even waiting to stop his
car. Thirty seconds later schrapnel
shell passed through the seat upon
which he had been sitting. There was
nothing left of the ambulance or it's
load. The bishops son stated that
practically all Of his comrades shared
his conviction that God will take care
of man when he gets into a tight
place if the man will let him. These
are great religious gains.
Chancellor Buchtel stated that there
will be great migrations after this war
is over. Europe is overcrowded. There
are about two acres to each person.
America has twenty-five acres to each
person. European soldiers will come
in contact with American and Cana.
dian soldiers. They will find them tho
best fed, best paid, best cared for sol.
diers in the world. They will be ct.
tracted to the country that produces
this sort Of men. Millions of them
will come to this country. It will be
good thing for Europe and good
thing for those who come away.
New emphasis will be placed upon
the meaning of democracy as . result
Of this war. The butterfly Of fashion
and society who used to scorn to work

for herself or any one else is now
working for humanity. The wealthy
man who used to spend his time loaf
ing about the club house is now giving
splendid service to the government at
salary of 81 year.
By the time the war is over the
world will have gotten into the habit
of asking, not "What has this man
got?'' but "What can he do?"
These are gains worth while that
will come as result of this war.
Chancellor Buchtel expressed the
conviction that the reason why such
moral and religious gains come to the
found in our attitude toward religion
and education.
In closing he quoted, from the ordi-
nance of 1877 of the northwest terri
tory which consisted of all the terri
tory lying north and west of the Ohio
river, these words: knowledge,
morality and religion being essential
to good government and the happiness
of mankind shall be forever encour-
aged.' He said this has always been
our attitude toward these matters and
that such an attitude leaves the way
open for moral gains to enter at any
time.

THE announcement Of senator Swanson after
ton with officials Of the navy department. that 90 per
cent of Germanys submarines have been destroyed by
allied offensive measures is good news 1t may be regarded
semi official the announcement Of the navy department
through one not connected with the department
This means that Germanys U-boats are being done
away with much faster than they be built and manned
with trained crews for crews Of sailors drafted from battle
ships and cruisers made undergo long training be-
fore they handle submarines The Diesel engine is

That the elimination Of submarines has been very
marked one cannot doubt after comparing the destruction

1917 for instance Last years destruction OF shipping was
the Of 10000 month II has dropped less
than 300 O00-betweeH $4,000 and 10000, TO be little

1t Is true that two three submarines have sunk
