ALL PAPERS UNITE

Virtually all London newspapers
demanded an immediate inquest
regarding the defeat in Crete as
well as categorical assurances that
the 'lamentable fiasco" will not
be repeated. Prime Minister
Churchill undoubtedly will have TO
produce one of his finest oratorical
performances if he is to allay the
criticism certain 10 be voiced when
the House of Commons reassem-
bles.
Whether his leadership actually
is in danger is problematical.
Labor Party members of Parlia-
ment are particularly incensed.
Their attitude regarding the neces-
sity for defeating Germany was
clearly demonstrated by the vote
cast at the fortieth annual conven-
ton of their party this week when
by tally of 100000 TO 1900
any compromise peace was over
whelmingly rejected.

She was the guest OF the men,

annual ball.
The Harvard Crimson" Is In q
sense . rival publication Of the
Lampoon.
The adherents OF the Crimson
were allegedly incensed Mt the
favor shown their rivals by Miss
Woodwork.
They expressed their irritation
and resentment with tomatoes and
oranges.
They even projected soda water
and ginger pop bottles through
windows of the Lampoon building.
The Lampoon Is a prosperous
publication and affects building.
il has even survived building.
Some of the bottles broke the
stained glass memorial windows
commemorative OF the LampoOn
men who fell In the World War.
THE demonstration was not ex-
j actiy a polite performance
nor indeed patriotic one.
No one objects to college rough
houses In general, but college men
should be considerable OF ladies and
reverent OF heroes.
Anyhow, the juvenile delin-
Hguency force of the Cambridge po-
Illce was called out and the rough
house was repressed.

And perhaps the obstreperous
behavior of the Crimson adherents

No, Miss Sheridan. not full of
