colleges relapse with thud to the old
ways of a little learning about nothing in
particular md much athletics directed to
the very particular end of winning
games? Anybody's guess is as good as
another's. The power of tradition is
strong in our colleges. 1t is the tradi-
ton, fine tradition, Of patriotism that
has made them step gracefully aside and
let war upset their most precious ways.
The coming generations will decide,
that is certain. They always have de-
cided, as n matter of fact. Proxies and
faculties propose and undergraduates
dispose. Life will be distinctly nearer,
pressing upon the college student in a
way it never has, we think The old lib
eral learning may, indeed, have to fight
for it's life. But if the old college days
of much waste and little gain (howevcr
valuable that gain), should pass, there
might we'll be room and time for every

War Rides the College

The juggernaut of war has overridden
ruthlessly many sacred structures, but
none has it overwhelmed quite SO thor
oughly as the college. THAI home of lib
eral learning and football would be quite
unrecognizabe to the peg-top freshman
of decades gone by. Your incoming
youth arrives groaning at the thought of
wasting even q few months in so dull
spot, and promptly elects, for his liberal
learning, trigonometry, war aims and
measures and English A, with S. A. I. c.
claiming The rest and the bulk Of his
time and attention.
Football has been reduced to q mere
shadow. The fraternities no longer rush
(by request) and their houses become as
ordinary hostleries. Bewildered profess
sors seek for subjects bearing directly
or remotely on a certain advancing line
in France. Almost anything scientific
scores Botany, astronomy, zoology-all
science has its help TO bring. The poor
cla8sicist can only rcsolve-lke so many
others belonging TO once honored pro
fessions ~- to bring up his son to be
plumber or something else of real value
in the world Of reality and let his war
aims go at that.
Will all this topsy-turviness be dis
sipatcd whsu peace returns? Will our

Ghost of Czo!eosz

Yesterday the editorial page of Hearst's
EUenlng Journal was devoted to a sour
rilous attack upon the National Security
League. 1t says this body has been
First denounced by representatives of
the war administration and now by mem
bers of the war Congress" and that it is
guilty Of conduct that is "morally trea-
sonable." Then it singles out Elhu Root
for special abuse
1t is true that the National Security
League has been denounced in Congress.
This was done by Representative Frear,
of Wisconsin, whom the league opposed
for reelection because he had voted
against the declaration of war and
against the Kahn amendment which was
essential to the selective draft, and for
the notorious McLemore and Cooper
amendments, thereby failing to stand the
"acid test' stipulated for by President
Wilson. So much for Frear.
Hearst~attacks the National Security
League for similar reason, namely
that it has denounced his disloyalty 1t
once debated taking steps to have his
newspapers barred from the mails. All
Of that is current matter.
But Hearst's feud with one of the
most distinguished members of the Ma
tional Security League is deep, undying
and historic. On the night of November
1, 1906, Elihu Root, then Secretary of
State, stood on q platform at Utica, New
York, and said:
"In President Roosevelt's first mes
sage to Congress, in speaking of the
assassin of Mckinley, he spoke of him
as infamed by the reckless utterances
of those who, on the stump and in the
public press, appeal to the dark and
evil spirits of malice and greed, envy
and sullen hatred. The wind is sowed
by the men who preach such doctrines,
and they cannot escape their share of
responsibility for the whirlwind that
is reaped. This applies alike to the
deliberate demagogue, to the exploiter
of sensationalism and the crude and
foolish visionary who, for whatever
reason, apologies for crime Or excites
aimless discontent.'
Il say, by the Presidents authority,
that in penning these words, with the
horror Of President McKinleys murder
fresh before him, he had Mr.. Hearst
specifically in his mind.
"And l say, by his authority, that
what he thought of Mr.. Hearst then
he thinks Of Mr.. Hearst now"

ENHERE can be no mistaking the
fact that Foch's battle has reached
its climax. Within a brief period,
perhaps Of hours, certainly days, a Ger
man retirement out Of Northern France
is assured. German resistance, tremen-
dous and sustained in certain sectors, is
breaking down completely in others.
Perhaps the most amazing single Incl
dent of recent days has been the Belgian
success about the old Ypres salient. In
single day, with insignificant losses,
the Segians have retaken all the ground
which the British spent FIVE months and
half million casualties in taking one
year ago. This can only mean one
thing: that the German army, as a whole,
is breaking down.
Foch's tactics are now clearly revealed.
The period of mannuvre is over The
moment in the battle has arrived when
decision is to be sought and from the
User to the Meuse Foch is throwing in
his last reserves. The pace cannot be

1t is no longer one offensive, but half

King Albert and General Plumer are

Flanders and Artois, Horne, Byng and
Rawlinson are refighting victoriously the

sum, all the old otfensives are being re-
fought simultaneously. All the old
hopes long postponed are being realized.
We are going forward from the sea to
the Meuse, slowly in places, with phe-
nomenal rapidity at others, but every
where advancing.
And in this situation it is no longer
possible to watch or weigh any single
phase. Perhaps Foch himself does not
yet know where the decisive break will
come. But it seems certain that one of
the many blows will achieve the first
objective, to compel general German
retreat out of France, away from the
Hindenburg line. And the second OBJ
jective is to crush the retiring armies,
to turn the withdrawal into a rout, to
break the military power of Germany, to
do it this year, and in the present battle,
this is the single purpose.

numbers engaged, in material employed,
and, unhappily, in casualties, unex

Suffrage, a War Measure

1t is in great and moving hour that
the final test of woman's suffrage comes
in the Senate of the United States, and
it was with an appeal worthy of that
hour, both in it's near and immediate
limits and in it's far-hung influence, that
President Wilson appeared upon the
Legislative scene.
The international bearing Of the re-
form was the chief subject of the address
to the Senate. Upon that Mr.. Wilson
spoke with peculiar authority. Those
Democratic Senators Of the South who
chiefly block the cause at this time may
we'll feel that the traditions of their
party lie in opposition to the Federal
amendment. But war time, the climax
of the greatest of human battles, is no
day for party traditions, however old and
settled, when they run contrary to the
paramount needs of the nation.
The course of Great Britain gave Mr..
Wilson his starting point. Is the Senate
of the United States alore to refuse to
learn the lesson of democracy which even
the House of Lords accepted readily and
as a matter of course? In the Presi-
dents eloquent and definite words:
Are we alone to ask and take the ut
most that our women can givc-servce
and sacrifice of every kind-and still say
we do not see what title that gives them
to stand by our sides in the guidance of
the affairs of their nation and ours? We
have made partners of the women in this
war. Shall we admit them only to
partnership of suffering and sacrifice and
toll and not to partnership of privilege
and right?
There was frank echo of Mr.. Lloyd
George and of Mr.. Asquith in the dec
Iaration that the war could not have been
fought without the aid of women. And
especially persuasive force lies in the
plea for women's share in the settle
ments and adjustments Of peace
But it is the bearing of the measure
upon the world forces of democracy that
the President particularly stressed.
There is legitimate war plea, an argu-
ment that sweeps beyond party, beyond
section, beyond every small habit of
mind. Here is not only the sign and
symbol of our faith for which we fight,
but the very act and practice thereof. To
rebuff suffrage in this hour would go far
to hamper this country in its labor for
the liberalization of the world. Presi-
dent Wilson spoke here the cold, ines
capable truth. His goal was a high and
ideal one; his immediate argument was
severely practical.
The Presidents plea will have it's ef-
feet. The suffrage amendment must
pass, here and now. We greatly hope
that it will be accepted by such margin
of votes as will place the faith of this
country in the fundame tai truths of it's
government beyond the questioning of
criticism or debate.

1t IS equally necessary to perceive that
neither cities. territory nor positions
are of great Importance. All these cir
cumstances have become minor. Luden-
dorff accepted battle on the Hindenburg
line more than 3 month ago with clear
perception of the issue. He has now
been beaten, geographically. His lines
are in retreat and he must shortly 20
back to the Meuse and the Scheldt. So
much has already bee, decided.
In this sense Foch has won his Leip-
sic; but after Leipsic Napoleon took his
beaten army behind the Rhine, fought
on, almost escaped ultimate defeat Can
Ludendorff do the same? This is the
present problem. We shall have an an
swer now in time relatively brief. We
are on the threshold Of one of the great
est military events in ali human history.
And turning to the Balkans, we have
an appraisal of Allied prospects. Bull
garla took the German side, confident of
German victory, three years ago. The
battle news in Sofia has changed all.
Bulgaria will not wait another hour.
She surrenders unconditionally Why?
Because there is no longer any doubt in
Sofia as to what is to happen-s there
any reason to question that events in
RnpHoroSt nd w
now move with equal rapidty?
What is happening now is like the
breakup of the ice in river when
spring comes. This is the real parallel
to the military situation in France. The
German lines are breaking like the river
lce--rapidly in some places, slowly in
others, but everywhere breaking. Cam
brai, Roulers, St. Quentin, Laon, YOU
zers--these were the objectives Of cam
palgns lasting months of separate cam
paigns which were the main efforts of a
whole Year, and now We are at the gates
of all of them at cne time.
