FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1918.
ONE YEAR AGO TODAY
One year ago today the United States entered the world war. Today there are more than 100,000 Americans in France efficiently trained and well equipped, ready and anxious to take their places in that glorious army under General Foch. American engineers have built miles of permanent railroads throughout France
Today there are thousands of the best of our American men in camps ready for the overseas trip—each a specialist in his own particular line of war work. There are just as many more thousand men in intensive training in the latest method of modern warfare.
Today, the American woman has learned more about food and food values than her mother could have dreamed of knowing. Business, wholesale and retail has been organized on a solid basis with equal consideration for producer and consumer. Hoover has been food administrator for months and there have been no stories of starvation as a consequence. In fact Americans are living better without the luxuries of last year and with the substitutes that become a necessity in these "less" days.
Today, we know, thanks to Mr. Garfield, that the predicted horrors of a coalless winter were not realized. Furthermore, warmth was maintained at the least possible cost.
Today there is an understanding between labor and capital that would have seemed almost fictious a year ago. There have been strikes, many of them and there will be more. But the agreements which follow possess permanency and satisfaction.
One year ago today there was democracy, a theoretical sort of democracy which at times was seemingly selfcentered and narrow in its practices. Today a practical democracy, applicable to every person and every right manner of living, is here just because there is a common purpose in food and fuel administration, in the affiliation of labor and capital and the support of the first hand fighters on America's side in the world war

"ELIZA" TO PUSH INCOME BILL The permanent income play, "Eliza Comes To Stay" was a success. But the very fact that organizations at the University must give plays to secure funds with which to push the mill tax legislation for a permanent income for the University, is in itself a reflection upon the state's financial management of the University.
At present the University is uncertain of its future and unable to make tenable plans. Its income is dependent upon political playfullness, egotism, penury, or spasmodical indulgence. It is a parallels situation with that of little Johnny, who goes to father and asks for a new pair of shoes. Father, with a snowl remarks that he will have to consider the matter, and see whether Johnny did not wear out those last shoes sooner than he should, and if so why he wore them out, and whether Johnny could not really get along without another pair of shoes anyway. In the meantime, Johnny and the University alike pray for the best, but take what comes
A permanent income is a necessity, not a fad. This is no selfishness on the part of the University; nothing more than an entirely innocent and commendable desire to survive. It is asking for a guaranteed annual income based upon a conservative estimate of actual needs. A permanent income lays a reliable base for healthy and secure growth.
By faith men can move mountains; consistent, prolonged, faithful and properly directed effort must move this mountain. The Dramatic Club in making their contribution, are to be commended for both spirit and deed.

PROVIDE THE SINEWS OF WAR
Providing the sinews of war is a much the duty of the college student as of the business world. The nation's next call is for more money to continue the task of beating back the Kaiser and his tribe. It must be answered by every individual if the United States expects to force the war to a successful conclusion. "Loyalty," said Lieutenant K. F. Nance in Fraser Chapel, "means co-operation." Giving dollars to the government in the third Liberty Loan expresser faith in the work of our officials.
For without money the country is helpless. Without it no soldier could cross the water to take his place in the front line trench; no sailor could guide him safely across; no ammunition, food and equipment could follow him. In fact, he could not even get to camp for his training. There would be no ships to transport him and none to carry over his supplies. Not a single shipbuilder could drive a bolt.
With it thousands of men can reach France; thousands more can patrol the seas while other thousands build ships, prepare munitions and equipment and rig airplanes. Cranes will groan under the weight of beams as they swing into place. The sharp staccate of the pneumatic riveter along with the heavy whir of machinery, the clanking of chains, the ring of the anvil and the pounding of hammers will drown out the shouted orders of bosses in the shipyards.
Is the applause at the appearance of a public performer a token of the audience's appreciation or merely to to stop the talking of those who have been engaged in gossip during the intermission?
Seven billion dollars have been subscribed by people of the United States in the previous two bond campaigns. The Treasury Department is asking for three billion more in the new campaign that is to be launched April 6. The bonds are issued so that those with a scanty income can obtain a bond as well as the capitalists. The old fashioned bucket brigade was as effective in fighting fire as there was co-operation among the fighters. Like fighting fire, licking the Kaiser will require our united effort.

POET'S CORNER
For the book-plate of your text books;
Who goeth to class quite unprepared,
And sitteth there all unmoved;
He heedeth not the words of truth
By wise professor uttered;
THEY SHALL NOT PASS!
Who readeth what herein is written
With no thought thereupon;
Or who readeth not the printed words
"Forasking them for sport;
Who slideth much and reasoneth none
Who flinketh all the time;
They may be wise in their concept,
But: "On ne passe pas!"
AN ARMCHAIR GENERAL
The Paris "Gaulois" is famous for good stories. The latest to reach us concerns General Grossetti, who recently died. Despite the fact that he was of such enormus girth—perhaps because of it—that he walked and rode with difficulty, he was one of the most popular officers in the French army. The story comes by way of the "Journal de Geneve" of January 13, 1918. We translate as follows:
In the throes of the battle of the Yser, says the "Gaulois," when the enemy fire was the fiercest, and it was judged impossible for the French troops longer to withstand it, they began to retire.
"What are you going to do?" asked Grossetti "I am too fat to follow you. In fact my feet are used up. It is absolutely necessary for me to sit down. Get me a chair."
They brought him a camp-stool and resting while the German shells continued to rain, he remarked: "What a pity to be so fat! You see I am good for nothing but to stay here."
Of a company creeping past in single file and hugging the shelter of the house he inquired: "Where are you going, my children? I hope that you are not retreating. You would not wish to abandon your general here."
Stupefied, the men looked at the General, seated placidly on his campstool, while about him the shells were bursting and gutting horses. Seized with sudden, violent emotion, they snatched their kepis from their heads, crying, "Vive le General!" and turned back.

Toward the end of the afternoon a British staff officer, sent by Sir John French, arrived on the scene to inquire what the French commander proposed to do, for the retirement of his division might involve the retreat of the English forces. Grossetti ordered another chair.
"Pray give me the pleasure, sir, of sitting down beside me," he said. Notstanding his British calmness and courage, the English officer hesitated a second or two. Finally he sat down. The French general said:
No wonder that the French, as a writer in the New York "Evening Sun" has pointed out, always afterward called Grossetti the General a faeuille But the "armchair general" was never used as a term of derogation; it was one of admiring affection.—The Outlook
“So you’ve quarrelled with your fanciere?” “Yes. I fear it’s all over.” “Don’t give up so easily. Call her on the telephone.” “It’s no use. She used to know who I was the moment I said ‘Hello.’ Now she positively refuses to recognize my voice.”—Birmingham Age-Herald.
After some further conversation,
continually interrupted by the bursting of shells close to them, the English officer took his leave. When he reached his headquarters, he remarked to his comrade: "I think I am brave; indeed, I am sure of it. But that five o'clock tea with General Grossetti gave me shivers up the back."
"You may say, sir, to Marshall French that my name is Grossetti, and, as it indicates, I am too fat to retire."

Inclination or simply desire?
WHEN YOU WERE a small child did you ever stand in front of the bakery window with your hands and face pressed up against the glass, and look longingly at some big fat cream puffs inside?
You had the desire to buy one, two—a dozen wouldn't have been too many—but, alas, you didn't have the price!
Every day we have the desire to buy a number of things and we have the money to purchase in this case—but there is no inclination coupled with our desire, and we go on without troubling ourselves to purchase.
INCLINATION! How do we "catch" it?
Sometimes it is the silver-tongued salesman, who, with convincing words, gives us the inclination to buy. Another time it may be the urgings of one of our family that produces the incentive to buy.
But oftener it is the constant appeal of advertising that touches off our inclination to buy. The power of suggestion!
Ten years ago men wearly shaved themselves with the old fashioned straight-edge razor, then came the safety razor and souped with it—ADVERTISING!
The power of advertising here played a potential part. It suggested to men the hardiness and convenience of the safety razor—it exposed the unhandiness of old Mr. Straight Edge—and in the end, what better illustrates the "pull" of advertising than the fact that 15,000,000 men this morning shaved with a safety razor.
