SEND A .LONESOME BOX-

Our fight is not done until the last
boy is safely home" The slogan of
the United War Work campaign is an
expression OF the debt We owe to the
boys who have won our and humani-
tvs fight. a debt which is not cancel
ed by the cessation of hOstilities.
Everything that goes TO cheer the
soldiers on foreign soil we owe it to
them to provide Christmas is a red
letter day in the lives of men, even in
the trenches. Christmas is an excel
lent opportunity to the folks at hcme
to show their love. Even with all the
presents from home. Christmas Day
in the trenches will contrast drearily
with the turkey, the Christmas tree
and the family circle gathered around
the fireside, as in other years.
But think of the poor fellow who
has no folks at home His will be
miserable day, with no gifts or greet
ings from the States. What a reward
for a soldier who has risked his all.
The lonely soldier need not be for
gotten Christmas. Those in this
country can for $3.50 bring cheer to
him
For that amount a Red Cross COM
mittee at the postoffice will pack and
mail a lonesome box full -of useful
and desirable gifts to some friend
less soldier.
Isn't the happiness of a boy in
France worth $15O to you? Send at
least one lonesome box" before it is
too late. All boxes must be mailed by
Wednesday.
Don't desert the boys.

OVER THE QUOTA-AGAN

Again Columbia has come to the
front as a city that does things and
has proved herself 100 per cent Amer
lean by oversubscribing her quota for
the United War Work fund.
Conditions like those during wal
time that try mems souls to the ut
most are the ones to bring cut the
true spirit of community. The citi-
zens of Columbia have been asked to
give again and again to support the
war and the ideals for which it has
been waged, and they have not failed
in one campaign to do what has been
requested of them.
After the armistice was signed,
there was a good opportunity for
those who were slackers at heart to
say THE war is over. We don't need
to give any more"
But Columbia people have shown
that when they start out to do a thing
they will do it well. Realizing the
need for the United War Workers
efforts, they have rallied to their sup
port and have given the amount that
was asked
Columbia has the spirit that was
embodied in Lincoln's slogan after the
Civil War-"Our war isn't over until
every boy is safely home" This is
the spirit that makes for progress, the
spirit that supports everything that is
worth while
May COlumbia's record in the period
of reconstruction and always after
ward be as good as it has been during
this war.

THE OPEN COLUMN


Editor the Missourian: Everybody
likes to feel there is one place where
they can leave semi-valuable belong
ings with the assurance that they will
be unmolested for a reasonable length
of time. This applies to the Univer-
sity as well as to ones home. The
members of the Y. W. C. A. would
like their room in Academic Hall to
be one of those unlocked safety vaults,
but it cannot be if books are borrowed
from there and never returned. Two
weeks ago a copy of Dere Mabel. new
ly bought and not yet read. by the
owner, was left on the Y. W. c. A.
desk and was no where to be found
one hour later.
The owner is glad for the borrower
to have the pleasure of the book for
two weeks; but there is a limit to
every favor and even at the Library
where one has paid for the privilege
of borrowing books, one has to have
them renewed every two weeks.
Should not the obligations of a
debt of honor" be more binding than
those obligations well guarded by the
debtors signature? L. L. b.

on STARTING A WAR

With all of France cleared of Ger
mans, Alsace-LOrraine rapidly being
evacuated and the Belgian flag float
ing over Antwerp, what a contrast
there is TO the situation four years
ago.
1t was comparatively easy for the
kaiser to get into France, but the job
of getting out again was too much for
him. The remains of his defeated
army is escaping only by permission
of the Allied commanders. leaving
guns, munitions and great stores of
other supplies behind.
''Its easier to start a war than to
stop it." Too bad that people can't
remember that longer.
A century ago. after Napoleon's
career had ended. the lesson was
pretty thoroughly impressed on the
world. Yet here was the kaiser
smart man. too-forgetting his his
tory.
We hereby move that the first act

came up and the party was obliged
to seek shelter and to spend the night
in the wash house of a farmer along
the road.
The next day the party reached
Boonville. The two boys were dressed
in Boy Scout uniforms and at both
BoOnville and at Pilot Grove, farther
along the way. parties of Boy Scouts
came out to greet the mixers.
That night because a good place to
camp could not be found, the tent
was pitched in a barnyard. The next
day was Sunday. AS the walkers
went along they met many persons
on the way to church. All the horses
that passed grew frightened when
they saw the wagon. One horse draw
ing a buggy with a young lady in it
became so frightened that she had to
get out and lead it past. The roads
were exceedingly muddy because of
the recent heavy rains and conse-
quently the girl lost one of her Slip
pers in the mud. By the time she had
recover it, her white shoes were far
from presentable, according to Mrs.
Bicknell. She says she is sure the
girl did not go to church that morning
with the true Christian spirit.
When Pilot Grove was reached, the
boys of the party were getting anx-
iOus to get to the races at the fair,
The wagon slowed their progress so |
much that they decided to make the
rest of the trip to Sedalia on the train.
Mrs. Bicknell says she has often
taken hikes of ten and fifteen miles
but this one was the longest she had
ever taken. She is planning to walk
70 the Usage Rixer next spring md
camp there for some time.

CHILD'S WAGON HALTS
HIKERS 4O-MILE TRIP

The most tenderly cared for and
the most troublesome member of one
Columbia hiking party. consisting of
Mrs. J. S. Bicknell, wife of the city
clerk, her 13-year-old son, Emmett,
and his friend. Claude Payen, was a
small wagon of the type that children
use in their play. The wagon now oc-
cupies a place under a large tree back
of Mrs. Bicknel's home and, she says.
it serves as a mute reminder of forty
miles of hiking last August over the
road to Sedalia.
When the party started at o'clock
one morning on their trip their OBJ
jective was the State Fair at Sedalia.
The plan was to walk all day and to
camp out at night, cooking their food
along the way.
The wagon was taken along to car
ry their tent, food, cooking utensils
and extra clothing. The members of
the party were to take turns about
pulling il along the road By the
time Midway was reached about noon.
the iron wheels of the wagon were so
badly bent that the wagon was almost
a total wreck. For about two hours
the party had to sit in a blacksmith
shop waiting for the wagon to be re-
paired.
The first night was spent out about
two miles before Rocheport was
reached. The next morning the party
went on toward Rocheport and arrived
about O'Clock that morning with the
wagon in a state of collapse again. !
This time it took a blacksmith until |
o'clock that afternoon to put new
wheels on the wagon.
With new wheels on the wagon,
he hikers thought they would be able |
10 make better time. About $50 |
o'clock that afternoon a terrific storm

Allies Hold
Two Keys to
World War

Cnper, Scotland, March s. -
There are two keys TO the world
war position, said former Premier
Herbert Fl. Asuuith in an address
to his constituents here today.
These keys are the command Of the
seas and of the western front.
Both, he said. after all vicissitudes,
still remain in the hands of the en-
tente allies.
While il is impossible 10 avert
our eyes from the tragedy unfold
ing iu Russia and the formidable
dangers that tragedy has revealed
ne said these dangers do not give
ms apprehension. There are two
important factors in the situation
First Russia, as an effective mill
tary factor has been wiped off the
slate second the German proce
durc in the so-called negotiations
with Russia and the light they
have thrown upon the minds and
methods OF Germany's present
rulers. There rarely has been a
more instructive contrast between
pretention and intention"
Referring to the speech of I'M
perial Chancellor Won Hertling, Mr..
Asquith said:
''The very moment he was max
ing his address his subordinates
were writing terms, not of peace.
but OF capitulation, as harsh and
humiliating as could be found in
the annals Of history.
