seems little doubt that if General Perish
ing wants the republican nomination. h
can defeat any other candidate, and i

1t has been suggested that now that
the S. A. T. c. is to be dernobilized the
Y NJ. c. A. hut should be built in Mos
COW instead Of on the university campus
There is merit in this suggestion. If it
were built down town it would accom-
modate high school boys the clerks and
other young men employed in town and
could be used by the university students
too. There is certainly enough 1nerit in
the suggestion to entit1e it to considera-
ton and discussion.

the signing Of the armistice and the ami
versary of the admission of Washington
as state. This occurred on November

stead of remaining hidden in a preach

Zee?

There seems little doubt that Kaiser
Bill and those who were equally guilty
with him in bringing about the war will
be brought to punishment. The allied
nations won a victory over the greatest
military machine the world has known
and they are determined these brutes
shall be punished and they will not be
defeated in this determination

France and the United States are both /,
republics. Wouldn't it be a strange coin
