POSTWAR WORLD PEACE

lRiverSide PreSS)
The war has come to the lecture halls
and claSSroomS Of American schools and
colleges. as it has come to all phases OF
national lte. Many students and teachers
aer already In uniform. and special
courses in military and civilian war Serv-
ice are crOWdng some of the traditional

INSTRUMENTATION ol the rising genera
lion for 4 sane. broad approach to post
war conditions that will ensure genuine
world peace Dr. Rufus von kleinSmid
is one of these, and in expressing his
opinion to group Of local newSpapermen
recently mace il clear that postwar con-
ditionS should claim our attention in a
more outSpoken way than it does at pres
ent.
We must think Of this war not as an
end in itself, but as a means to an end,
says Dr.. Walter +. Dexter, state super
mtendent OF public instruction. II chill
dren are TO grow up to manhood and
WOmanhoOd in way that will help them
reap the fruits Of peace, they must have
wisdom and knowledge beyond that OF
their parents and their grandparents.
We must strive as educators to prevent
the development of the vindictiVe spirit.
II this war is being fought for the
purposes which the President has out
lined-freedom of religion, freedom from
want and freedom from tear-we must
have a reasonable amount of good will
in the world And believe we can en-
gender this good will by acting very def
initely as leaders and gentlemen as we
fight one of the cruelest wars in history"
Hate cannot promote permanent
peace-and so it is good to hear proml-
nent California school men declare that
while American educators should face
the duties Of Val unfhnchingly, they
should face the long future. They should
begin "winning the peace right now so
as to be prepared when it comes
The Present Day club at its meeting
on Monday evening will be fortunate in
that the speaker Of the evening has chos-
en- as his subject Start Winning the
Peace Now Dr.. Elam J. Anderson,
president of Redlands University, is an
outstanding educator, administrator and
builder of institutes and of men. Because
of his prominence in educational circles
and because of the Importance of his sub
ject, it is to be hoped every member of
the club will be on hand to listen to his
address.

THREE TORPEDOED

Andrews reported the Germans
had sunk one small tanker and to-
pedoed two others, including al
American one, in two early morn
ing attacks off Aruba.
The American manager of the
Menegrande Oil company at Mara
caibo. Venezuela. telephoned the
United Press Caracas bureau that
it was reported there that four
small and two large tankers, in ali,
had been lost in the German sub
marine attacks. including those Off
Aruba.
This was not confirmed, and it
was. necessary to await detailed re-
ports to assess the toll OF the raid
ing submarines.
A Netherlands East Indies news
agency dispatch from Willemstaa,
Curacao. which gave the first news
of the attack, put the toll at three
tankers torpedoed and presumed
sunk and a fourth tOrpedoed but
not sunk.
Andrews, describing the attacks
off Aruba and the shelling OF that
island, said the first attack started
at 80 am. yesterday near Nichols
bay.
One small tanker was torpedoed
and sunk, he said, and three Off
GERS and IL men of its crew OF %
were missing.
A second tanker, he said, was
torpedoed but not sunk. OF its Gre Y
of 90 he reported seven missirL, two
died in hospital and the remaining
l8 in a hospital at Aruba.

because most colleges and universi-

advanced ROTC students have been
abolished for the duration. Stu
dents usually attended these en-
campments during the summer be-

Candidates for Reserve commits
