The great war changed the parochiaI, provin-
cial mind of many an average citizen into an
international mind. Foreign trade, economic
and legal relations that ignore boundaries, the
free flow Of ideas and thoughts which know no
hindrances or barriers, have broken down the
obstacles
We are, it is believed by those statesmen and
financiers competent to judge, on the brink of
great awakening. Our strategic position in the
United States as arbiters of the worlds destiny
is one that will be influenced by the public
opinion Of the American people. 1t is the duty
of every citizen to be saturated with the infor-
nation which will make possible wise and
profitable decision on the part of this country.
You must not, then be mentally exiled.
You should know what is being done in Japan
by certain Kagawa of Kobe to check the

You should be familiar with the predictions
of Georg Brandes Europe's greatest critic, as to

Constantine King of Greece, is fighting war
which has been waged continuously for 46s

l. n Do you sometimes feel like
stranger in a strange land when
~ ~ ~ your friends talk Of international
G&N topics and mention names that
you cannot pronounce?
Do you feel like poor swimmer, obliged to
60 back to the beach alone, when the foreign
situation and world economies are being
discussed, and you find that you are beyond
your depth7
Are you feeling your way about in the dark,
while others make remarks and speak of things
you have never seen, in the full light of their
greater knowledge?
Do you limp along at the tail-end of a crowd,
unable to keep up with the procession when the
clever men and women mention names and
places that are discussed too gliby for you7
Mental exile, the feeling of solitude and un-
familiarity, is one of the most humiliating ex

Vermont. We cannot afford to
antagonize u. V. M. Authorities
also are making effort to stage
game there"
Principal Mathewson, in talking
with a Caledonian-Record reporter
today declared that his only OBJ
lection to staging the game in
Burlington was the poor train SER
vice which would mean at least
three day trip for the Lyndon
Institute eleven. On the other
hand st. Adams would nave a
comparatively short distance to
travel and could make the journey
in a few hours.
Mr.. Mathewson suggests Han
over because of the fact that
place is equally as accessible to
both teams, each outfit to share
the expenses of the trip. The
field at Hanover should be in good
condition and a large crowd should
be attracted.
The proposition is expected to
be settled finally tomorrow when
it will be known when and where
the game is to be played.
