CITIZENS OF THE WORLD

The inhabitants of the former
German colonies, it seems, are to
become subjects of the League of
Nations. II the present plan goes
through, they will be subject imme-
diately to the governments of Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Australia,
Japan, etc., but their real allegiance
will be to the league, by whose man
dates the colonies are given in trust
to the various powers.
This opens up new and interest
ing field of political speculation.
The backward peoples" of the
earth, despite their humble status,
win occupy literally position here
tofore claimed only by the most cul-
tured Of mankind, and never really
occupied by anybody. The half-sav-
ages Of many lands, recently ex-
plotted as slaves and ground re-
lentlessly under the brutal heel of
Prussianism, may soon boast them
selves genuine Citizens of the
World
They will be the charter members,
30 to speak, of that extra-national
and super-racial citizenship that may
some day be shared with all the in
habitants of the earth.

WEHIAR VS.. BERLIN

Somebody in Germany had a
bright idea when Weimar was ap-
pointed as the meeting place for the
German national assembly which is
to shape the new constitution.
Any place would be better than
. Berlin, with its overpowering Prus-
sian gloom and its memories OF kais-
erism. The little capital Of SAKE
weimar will take those German con-
stitution-builders into a different
world, where Goethe and Schiller
and Herder and Wieland and List
are held greater than Hinderburg
and Tirpitz, where museums and IL
braries and theaters and literary
shrines are more notable than bar
racks and forts, where there Is an
oasis of civilization in the barren
waste of kultur.
A world-war would never have
been launched from Weimar. Even
a generation OF brutal militarism can
hardly have choked out all the old
humanity and refinement Of that
German Athens The spirits Of
the men who hated and fought
everything that Bismark and Will
helm have stood for will surely rise
up and plead with those German
delegates to win Germany away from
her strange gods, back to the faith
and works that gave her the only
true greatness she ever possessed.

SOLDIER LETTERS
Belgium, Dec. 22, 1918

Dear Folks:
WIN Just write letter today to
tell you about our trip up to Mt.
Kimmell which we had been plan
ming some time. We started out
and marched up there yesterday
its about 21 kilometers and 1t was
sure worth the hike.
When we first sighted the hill
We could not understand why It was
worth the thousands of lives appar-
emily wasted In taking II. But when
we got to the top and took 1t all In
We changed our minds. From the
top you have a perfect observation
in all directions. II was very mud
dy on this trip up. Has q clay for
nation, which causes all the shell
holes to look like small Crater
Lakes" On the way up we passed
through a couple OF towns. In one
was what had been a beautiful ca
thedral, old antique wood carvings
1t had been badly shot up and every
thing was smashed. We went on to
Kimmell where we begun to climb
the hill which saw such desperate
fighting that made II world famous
Up on the side OF the hill is a small
ravine line on both sides with dug
outs.
We left our packs in dugout
about 200 feet from the top. They
say that at least 20 feet was shot
away from the top during the scrap.
On the edge of the crest nearest the
side We went up the squareheads
had built three concrete pill boxes
for observation posts, two of these
we had shot up-or down as you
may call 1t. A little further on there
was a big shell crater with big
AZ centemeter "dud" in 1t, and say
those are some shells. Close to this
is the place where the big monument
had been and all that Is left Is
few broken up brick and some twist
ed iron bars. The British have now
put up a small tower, made OF Axe
timbers and on top they placed di-
rection board sign showing north,
south, east and west. We looked
around up there for while and
then went down on the Huns side
and found their advanced ammuni-
tion dumps and supply dumps. After
rummaging through them we went
back to the dugouts and stayed all
night.
Next morning we went on down
into the plain and looked over the
battle field, barbed wire-trenches
didn't last more than Is minutes
during the fighting. Nothing could
live or endure the shelling that this
ground was given and 1t showed
plainly the destruction. l don't be-
lieve there's a square foot that has
not been turned over and churned
up many times and there is hardly
yard OF 1t that doesn't have some
kind OF equipment on 1t from can
non down to compasses, or parts OF
something. 1t seems to me that II

field, II would mean no more war
Autos are not supposed to advance
up whore the shelllng is heavy In
other words not right into battle
lines--yet the waste In autos alone
which we saw there would amount
to u million dollars.
Could tell you lot more about
this one trip but win have to save
up something till | get home or
won't have anything to talk about,
Something real beautiful though is
an air fight at night when they use
luminous bullets. II tho night isn't
too dark you can see the planes
maneuver for position, and then
suddenly one takes dive at the
enemy and string of what looks
like beads go slipping out toward

; HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
<%%<+ ~ ~ y \
BY Alice Ament

On January 2S and 30 the semes-
ter examinations were held at the
high school. and on February 3 tho
second and last semester's work be-
gan. There were Is pupils register
ed as sub-freshmen, and the total
registration amounted to iSl.
Monday morning the seating order
in the assembly room was changed
to meet the new demands, and there
was a grand upheaval OF books. PEN
ellis. students and freshmen. After
things had somewhat subsided, and
each had taken an inventory OF who
sat across the isle, etc. classes were
called. and the work began. Al
though the new freshmen became
somewhat agitated at times. and
show decided aversion to books.
they are merely living up to tradi-
tions. and may be excused.
The junior English classes, under
the instruction OF Miss Bridges. are
now taking up journalism, and are
interviewing anyone who looks inter-
estlng. or as though they were con-
cealing a deep mystery. This, of
course, means that all the faculty
have divulged their state secrets and
hidden ambitions to the sklllful
probing Of these impromptu journal
lists. Editorials, headings and the
different types OF news items are be-
ing studied.
On Friday each class held an edi-
torial convention, attended by all
the leading editors OF the country.
George Booth and Royston Lacey as
chairmen OF the conventions, de-
livered the speeches OF welcome, and
announced each speaker. The re-
ports we're all very interesting, and
in number the entrance OF women
into newspaper work was favorably
commented upon.
Tuesday evening, after school, a
senior meeting was held to discuss
the senior class play, and also the
senior thesis. It seems practically
certain that II will be possible to
have play, II the staging is delay
ed until late In the spring, when the
health conditions will be perfectly
normal.
The prospect Of having the play
has frightened things up for the
seniors, as thus far all school ac-
tivities have been forbidden. II was
decided to select play which will
include the entire senior class in its
personnel, and as Mrs. Gunnell is to
be the director, everyone is happy.
Even the thesis which all seniors
must write has only momentarily
dampened their ardor, and with the
prospect of the play before them, 1t
will soon be out Of the way.
