HANS AND IVAN
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1921, by Frank Crane)

In one of Mr. H. G. WelIs's letters reporting the
Disarmament Conference he says
Britain, France, Italy and now the people Of the
United States have honored and buried the bodies of
certain unknown soldiers each according to their ma
tional traditions and circumstances Canada hear is
to follow suit
$50 the world expresses its sense that in the Great
War the only hero was the common man. Poor Hans
and Ivan lie rotng in the soil of hundred battlefeds
bones and decay rags of soed uniform and fragments
of accoutrements still waiting for monuments and
speeches.
''Yet they too were mothers sons kept STEP obeyed
ORDERS went singing into battle and knew the strange
ntoxication of sodiery fellowship and the sense of de-
votion to something much greater than themselves"
This is the last word upon the war.
Whether or not you what Wells is driving at,
indicates rather accurately whether or not you under
stand what the war meant.
The war evidently meant something. No event is
without significance.
Perhaps we are too close to it yet to determine
what that meaning is, and the correct conclusion
only through the future historian and philosopher
who shall have the right perspective in time
But we ought to strive to know what the war
meant We have used the phrase many times 1T must
not be that the war shall have been fought in vain'
What do we mean by sin vain?
Do we mean the dominancy Of Great Britain? Do
we mean that gorify the dead soldier because he
has preserved the glory of France? Do we mean that
he is to be honored because he stands for the humia
tion of Germany?
Such things no sober judgment can conclude
The only rational reason that we can see so far
for the at all is that it should have had an import
ant place In the programme to stop That is, that
it took great catacysm to show war in its true
horror and folly and induce men to turn away from it.
Fortunately, that is the turn it seems to be taking
in the present world councils.
And these world councils will come to nought un-
less way other the mind of the world is turned
not toward wreaking vengeance on Germany and Rus
sia but toward helping and rehabiitating those shat
tered populations.
The Unknown Soldiers, whether they lie beneath
the Arc de Triomphe in Westminster Abbey or in un-
known graves upon the field are heroes because they
show that man can fling away his life for an ideal
But they will not perform their true ministry to
worth the price of lfe ideals that have to do with
mankind and not with the pride of contentious nations

The developments in education. in machinery, in
amusements in habits OF thought were so matter
of course that those who watched them did not rea-
lie what was taking place The farmer for instance
saw no revolution the change from the sickle" with
which he gathered his wheat to the sweeping
cradle the transition from the latter TO the
now forgotten reaper. These two movements occu-
pied some hundreds Of years. SO it was with devel-
opments in the machinery Of all industries and
in the machinery of government
But to the boy who saw the old fashioned reaper
it seemed long stride back the discarded cradle
The ancient spinning wheels treasured as relics
commonplace to grandmothers and even
to mothers, and it seems to them but short
time since they were in use.
Youth associates parents with the implements
and the manners customs. and now funny dress of
the period when parents youth. Therein we
find assumption of that superiority which
has filled the youth every age, inheritors of all
the improvements upon which the parents placed so
little value.
But within the last generation the changes have
been so swift so numerous and so mighty that even
and who witnessed them have been
astounded 1t is no wonder then that the heads of
our young people have been turned. They are the
heirs of it all They have gone crazy with the wealth
which has been heaped upon them-the perfected
telephone the airplane the submarine the wireless
the moving picture, the phonograph and many kinds
of machinery which do everything but talk To
them is commonplace what to fathers would
have been magic Their contempt for the fathers or
grandfathers is akin to that of the Connecticut
Yankee for Merlin the Enchanter and the knights Of
the Round Table, who in his eyes were but ignorant
children
If the youth of today wilder in their assump-
ton of superiority than the youth of earlier gem

Real competition

What may be expected when there is real COM
petition in bidding for paving contracts shown
yesterday at the opening by the county highway
commission of the bids for the completion of the
county highway program. The large number of
bidders the various types of roads is convincing
evidence the general confidence of the contractors
in the commission and its manifest intention to han
die this matter without sympathy with or prejudice
against any type of road.
The liyeliness OF the competition was in sharp
contrast to the experience OF the commission two
years ago trying to place the the first
part of the program.
1t was evident yesterday from the prompt action
the commission in referring the bids to its engn-
GERS analysis and tabulaton to compile from
the data the comparative costs, that as quickly as
possible the commission may confer with committees
OF citizens Of the chamber Of and Of tax
payers that it is the purpose of the commission to
dispose of the matter in an orderly vigorous and
businessike fashion
The gratifying feature and one reassuring to tax
payers, was the activity of the competition which
some had feared might not be secured.
Throughout the complications which followed the
issuance and sale the $45o0 bonds voted by the
people the commission has moved energetcaly and
without loss of time motion the gratifying stage
which was reached yesterday

his expenditures OF the preceding year-Coconino

he had taken in any from one cent upward we
should have more than 100 per cent Of saving

The Republican direct, communicate with our
Washington, D. c., Information Bureau.
But we will confide parentheticalIy that the re-
porter who described the thrift Of county official
probably fell into the error mistaking the
base which percentage is calculated. While per-
haps the expenditures of 1920 were more than 100
per cent greater than those of the following year
the expenditures for 1921 were something less than
so per cent of those OF 1920

College Athletic.

For long time it has been questioned whether
American colleges have been benefited by athletics as
developed within the last of years 1t is some

student body and the alumni to send out a winning

lence in athletics. And the stigma Of professionalism

Of athletics at the Tech is develop physically as
many students possible. on the theory that good
physical condition aid to clear thinking 1t
also the object to fit students physically for the
engineering profession which often requires a strong
physique. Comparative athletics are maintained only
as an incentive to students to engage in sports
The success Of this system of undergraduate
athletics is attested by the fact that the average
scholastic standing of all the students taking part
in competitive sports is considerably higher than
the average Of all students in the institution.
Tech, with an undergraduate registration OF $500
has no varsity football baseball teams, because

for the telephones. Their duties in
the mornings before the Senate
meets, consist of tasks that are light,
varied and divided. Some boys are
assigned to duties at the beginning of
the session and do not change their
tasks. There must be a copy of every
bill, report and document on each
desk daily, a file of the Congressional
Record and of all bills and reports of
committees. One page attends to the
pens, holders, and ink; one sees TO 1t
that the desk of the Vice President
is in order and that his gavel is ready
to call the Senators TO order. Another
has the curious duty OF seeing TO il
that the sand bottles are filled-for

not progressed to the modern blotter.

boxes at each side of the Chamber

boxes which contain the electoral
votes from the Senate Chamber TO

ing with the Senators to the south
wing OF the Capitol. Other duties
cover the distribution of supplies in
the Chamber and the cloak rooms.
When the Senate meets the pages
sit in a row on the rostrum steps,
half on the Republican side and half
on the Democratic side, ready to
serve the statesmen, who call them
by swapping their fingers. They take
bills to the desk, announce visitors,
and run the errands for the Senators.
The pages come from all over the
country and from various stations OF
life Some are already acquainted
with official life. Others come direct
from the farm. They come from the
North, the South, the West. Many
of them help to support widowed
mothers and younger brothers and
sisters.

WASHINGTON. d. C. Feb. &C.
The little boys one sees sitting on

United States Senate chamber, are

cheerful, manly little fellows, they
wait daily upon the country's states

They are as sharp as a keen steel
blade, quick as lightning. ready and
willing to fetch" for the North and
''tote" for the South, making the most
of their term with wary young eye
turned toward the future.
These pages have rather enviable
position for small boys, being ap-
pointed by the senators for a term
of four years at a salary of So so per

to study and to learn something of
the art Of oratory under the best of
masters; of being acquainted with
the country's statesmen and hearing
their opinions publicly expressed. and
of coming into intimate contact with
public life.
Their pastimes and sports fill an
important part in their terms; they
have their football eleven and their
baseball nine and last year were the
proud and triumphant winners OF the
silver cup given by Senator McCor-
mick for both those sports in compe-
