We agree fully with Harvard and mine points East that "probably a greater ham headline never was written." The person who wrote the headline has been so informed by a load, indigent, and spontaneous protest. With anonymity the rule in newspapers, the entire Kanasst staff must suffer suf- plicity for the absurd error of one head- line writer, but the second-generation Sage of Emporia may rest assured that we have done our best to make the culprit suffer in private. TEN YEARS AFTER It had been known for several days that the United States was going to war with Germany. On April 2 President Wilson called upon congress, convened in special session, to adopt a formal declaration. The sentiment of the country had in a few months turned to the belief that only through war could America maintain its reverenced ideals. So on April 6, ten years ago yesterday, the House followed the Senate in solemn resolution, and a state of war was formally declared to exist. In the next few forwent and hectic months America plodged and gave its soul. It was a different war, we said, one to end war, to make the world safe for democracy. We mobilized the young manhood of our nation, and gave the lives of 50,519; four times as many were wounded. We drew heavily upon the material resources of our nation and the whole nation responded with alicerity and loyalty; today our war debt mounts 19 billion dollars. But we were heart and soul in the conflict—the conflict which we thought would remake the world. In the heat of war passion we committed many acts from which under calm circumstances we would shrink. We violated our own constitution to silence those individuals who questioned our means of saving democracy, but our motives were directed not against them, but against the war lords of Central Europe whom we pictured as attempting to prussianize and subjugate the world. We momentarily threw democracy and liberty to the winds in a struggle to make them lasting. Now we have had almost eight and a half years for reflection since the zoom of hurting shells has ceased. It is too short a time to retrace wisely or even dispassionately. The vindictiveness and the hate which in war we found necessary, in peace still creep upon us, even in our farer moments, and distorts our vision. But even with the passing of a century, the world may still not know who started the war or who won it. The wave of moral and spiritual disintegration which follows upon the breakers of war, takes more than a decade to expend its intensity. Today we are more divided in our opinions as to the effects of the war than ever before. Conflicting evidence and the lack of direct knowledge pick one view against another. We can only compare our ideals of ten years are with our attainments of today. In the words of the wartime president, "National armaments should be limited to the necessities of national order and domestic safety," but on the authority of President Coolidge we know that the "army and navy were never so large and efficient in peace time." Our universal cry was "making the world safe for democracy"; yet never was democracy in such disfavor, even in our own land. Dictators rule in Italy, Portugal, Spain, Hungary, Russia, Turkey, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Rumania, Albania and Poland, and democracy and liberty are but the silent aspirations of exiled patriots. We lent support to President Wilson in his promise to remove economic barriers between countries and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions; yet almost everywhere, especially in the United States and France, are high tariffs, and in China the tariff duties are controlled by foreign powers. We trustingly repeated the president's aspirations to establish the rights of small nations and the "privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and obedience;" yet what is our foreign policy? Nicaragua is overrun with American marine; Haiti is a subject of the State Department; the Virgin Isles, forgotten, swant under naval rule; we threaten Mozuca, to guard to the property of oil man who but a four years ago, according to our highest court corrupted high cabinet officials; and in China we are embarking upon a policy which spills disaster to our traditional friendship with the Orient. We rejoiced with the thought of universal world peace at the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, yet where is our peace and where our good-will? They are overshadowed by the world's war zones—China, Latin America, the Baltics, and the rising impatience of oppressed peoples in nif corners of the globe. We told glibly of the inevitable next war. These are our ideals, and these our results. True, we hailed the despised military forces of the Entente in armed strength, we defended Germany; but did we not lose to her when we surrendered to her spirit of militarism and foreign aggression, and air of white world superiority? Again, we repeat, a decade is too short a time for discerning judgment, but when we measure the spirit and ideals of 1927 with the spirit and ideals of 1917, our victory yearly rings more hollow. We yielded our freedom for but a brief interim, but with it we surrendered our reverence for it. We were thrown upon barbarian resources to combat barbarian, and today we are callons to corruption and betrayal, and acquiesce worthy to reaction, "Taught to test loyalty by submission and character by conformity, we rage against the heresy of disregement." Are we not, after these convalescent years, justified in weighing solemnly the evils of the war against the heralded rewards, and querying "Shall it be again?" Just as further evidence that spring is here, the annual showing of twobit Fords is on, with the introduction of new lines and colors. I HAVEN'T TIME Fifty thousand years ago Papa Neanderthal said to Mama Neanderthal when she asked him to bring in some juicy elephant bones filled with marrow, "I haven't time." Now, Papa Neanderthal wasn't so far behind the times as the calendar would indicate, for what he really meant was that he was not in the mood for elephant hunting at that moment because he was bent upon an adventure in the immortal conquest of the animal for a mate. Of course Marie Neanderthal had been faithful to him, keeping the fire burning in front of the cave at night to keep the heats of prey away, and performing countless other little household duties. Still, there was a holly-totsey Nancy Neanderthal living in the cave across the valley, and she looked irresistible in 'her new girdle of hyena skin. And her eyes looked The budget conferences for Friday, April 8, are scheduled as follows: 9:30–Physics and Astronomy; 11–Register's Office; 2–Mathematics; 3:30–Graduate School; 4:30–Bacteriology, Pharmacy, Civil Engineering special conference.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTEA: Songs have been sung to her, poems have been written to her, each evidence of her has been heralded with joy, she has appeared, disappeared and reappeared, but now she is really here. She is spring and the ice cream wagons are out. The regular rehearsal of the K. U. Symphony Orchestra will be held on this evening, Thursday, in the auditorium of the Minnesota Memorial High School. The Kaman has frequently reviewed this internationally observed case, always seeking the fair application of justice. It does not know where the guilt of murder lies in this case but it does know that sufficient evidence is available that a retrial is an essential expression of justice, and so here registers one more protest against the perversion of justice in the state of Massachusetts. The courts may know the law in this case, but they apparently do not see he justice. Or rather as far as the history of the case has gone, they do of see the injustice of it. hunting carefully on a musk-ox bone, growing delicately on a musk-ox bone. So, it is perfectly clear that Papp Neaderthal was just like more than a hundred Homo Sapus of 1927 in the respect that when he said he hadn't time, what he meant was that he didn't have the inclination. The topic of next week's sermon, brethren, will be . . . Once more have the courts decided against Sacco and Vanzetti in the now celebrated murder case of Massachusetts. AGAIN The court rendering the decision realized the weight of opinion against its action and requested special police protection for its members. However, that doubtless is a mere show of strength on the part of the judges, for the friends of Sacco and Vanzetti long learned what to expect from he courts of Massachusetts. This time it was the supreme judicial court that denied a new trial to Nielia Sacco and Bartolomeo Van zettl. After being deprived of their liberty for upwards of seven years on charges claimed entirely unfounded, and so recognized by the many periodicals, organizations and jurists who sought to aid the Italians, they again have been refused justice in the form of retrial. Williams Aqua Velva At the Concert By John Dylan THE skin's natural moisture must be conserved if the face is to be comfortable. Aqua Velva applied after shaving helps the skin retain this moisture—keeps it flexible and comfortable all day long. This remarkable after-shaving liquid was perfected by the makers of Williams Shaving Cream to keep the face as comfortable as a Williams shave leaves it. In big 5.9 oz bottles—goe.

At the University of Capetown, South Africa, freshmen are forced to wear stiff collars three inches high with bright green ties. Katherine Jordan well deserved all this notice. She gave a pleasing recital night. Her tone was good, and she had a good sense of artistic value. She was considerably lacking in technical perfection, but even in this she showed flashes of proficiency. The "Ronance" from Wiennawijk's "Concerto" was lovely. A sweet tone was apparent through most of "La Folie" and the entire second group. The beautiful ending of the "Gypsy" song was one of the high points of the event, and her show showed considerable proficiency in the use of double tape in the "Vitamin Molly."
