Now that the big fight is over
there are some who think that all
war conditions are past and no more
sacrifices are required. But the
time we are facing is almost as criti-
cal as the time of combat. Three
million free in sense from the ardu-
Gus military routine, and having no
expectancy OF early action to buoy
their spirits will naturally lapse into
a state OF ennui and will turn to
amusements which may not be. the
best both from a moral and civic
standpoint. Now is the time for
clean amusements and wholesome
literature to be provided. This is
done by the Y. M. O. A, X, C, and
Library Association and these insti-
tutions should have our unstinted
support.

For the British the war ended at
Mons, just where it begun for them.
The world will never forget that GAL
liant retreat of the English regulars
from Mons when two hundred thou
sand Englishmen withstood nearly a
million Germans until France in
trenched at the Marine. So it must
have been a great Joy to the sur
vivors of that contemplate little
army" to have had the pleasure of
again wrenching that famous town
from the Huns.

When Edith Cavell was murdered
by the Germans John O'Keefe wrote
a poem on the deed in which he de-
scribed the German rifles and their
death-dealing breath. In this poem
he says, THAT one breath from those
lips OF death shall blow an empire
down" And the spirit OF that crime
was nerved the English to fight and
their rifles have literally blown the
German empire to shreds.

Before the war Ireland had the
sympathies of the world. We were
in favor of giving her home rule
and establishing a purely Irish gov
eminent there. But we harbor no
such sentiments now. By her
treacherous league with the great

of Christendom. 1t is doubtful if

The Hartford Republicans vindic-
tive remarks about The Herald are
characteristic. The fact that The
Herald said congress instead Of
legislature does not alter the fact
that a negro was sent as representa-
tive from st. Louis and the dispatch
adds, "The district was populated
largely by whites" Its a certainty
that he didn't go there by the Demo-
cratic votes.

If we We're voting on the greatest
man in the world we would give
considerable consideration to Maxi
milan Hardin, the German journal
list, who even in the height of the
military rule and the fiood-tide of
Autocracy's power, still had the
courage to look the Junkers in the
face and tell them that their days
were numbered. Next to Karl
Liebknecht he was the most hated
man in Germany by the war party
and it was either because of his
defiant personality or unseen protec-
ton that his life was saved.

Capital is organized. If the la

open some of the first things the
reconstruction will bring about will
be the revoking of the income and
excess profit taxes and lowering the

presidents will draw their hundred

Here Today for Lexington.
Gallaudet vs.. st. Johns.

Maryland States s. A. T. C. foot ball
team is scheduled to leave here this
afternoon for Lexington, Va, where
it is to meet the Virginia Military In
stitute eleven tomorrow. The con-
test was hurriedly arranged and
takes the place Of the one that was
expected to be played with Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. Nineteen play
ers of the forty out for the State
team will make the trip.
Tomorrow's contest will be the third
in which the Marylanders and Vir-
ginians have met. In 1916 the teams
lege Park, State winning by Is to 9.
Last season the State eleven went
to Lexington and the meeting then re-
suited in a tie-14 to IA. 1t was
rather a remarkable tie, too, as v. M.
I. scored the points which evened up
things in a rather remarkable way.
With the count to Z, State made a
touchdown and kicked goal when
only thirty seconds Of the last quar-
ter were left to play. When it kick
ed off. Leech, v. NJ I. quarterback,
a touchdown and then kicked the
goal. That was Just about as spec
tacular play as one could ever hope
to see on gridtron.
Tomorrow, to take the place of the
game cancelled by the Philadelphia
Marines, the Navy has listed con-
test with the st. Helena Training
Camp eleven Of Norfolk. 1t Is report
ed that the Norfolk aggregation has
in 70
stars. but judging from what hap
pened at Annapolis last week in con-
nection with the Newport eleven it
would seem that the Norfolk men had
better come prepared to take a good
beating.

sands of men who have been used to

Final arrangements have been com.
pleted for the game November % be-

Gallaudet's foot ball team goes te

Johns eleven. The Kendall Greeners
are said to be exceptionally strong
with a fast heavy line and very ca
pable backfield. Deer is the star OF
the quartet behind the line. the big

more capable than in 1917. when he
showed ability enough to plough
