THE REJECTION OF LEADERSHI WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27, 1918. Bolshevik democratization is essentially the illogical rejection not only of leaders but also of the necessity of leadership. This is the clear conclusion to be drawn from Professor Harper's characterization of the Bolshevik movement from its very beginning through all its activities to the present. Bolsheviks in themselves constitute leaders; each man is a leader; each man is an orator and philosopher and economist and teacher. Everyone is an expert in everything. All others are his equals; none is superior in judgment or in essential qualifications for judgment. One hundred and eighty million leaders—what a dream—what a nightmare! Trotzky and Lenine are not leaders. They are brothers, brothers to all Russians, to all Germans, to all the citizens of the world. That is why they continue along with the other temporal oligarchs of Russia. A bullet in the back would put them to everalting rest were they honored by such onerous dignites and duties as are incumbent upon the title of generella, or colonel, or even corporal. And as for president—that would be a name as dangerous as rex was for Caesar at the feast of the Lupercal. How beautiful it all is—this freedom from responsibility, this end of obedience to any constituted authority. The street department is no longer a department but a volunteer group of free citizens who come down the Nevsky Prospekje every morning at ten and take a vote whether the boulevard is to be cleaned next month or next year. The fire alarm rings and each free fireman resolves for himself that he will go or will not go to the fire. Then it must be decided which hydrant is to be used and there must be a firemanisite on the direction the streams shall take. Freedom and disunity now and forever, Russia is indivisible because she can be divided no further. But Bolshievism is an unstable human compound. It is too inconsistent with itself and with human nature to last long. It is for today sublime, for tomorrow sublimated. It would be good for many people in Russia and perhaps elsewhere to read something of Thomas Carlyle just now. Leadership must be, and intelligent following of rational leadership is an obligation laid on the human race as a condition of its survival. The source of leadership may be lowly and humble, but its qualities are unmistakable, its duties to all the people are manifest both to him who leads and to him who is loyal to the leadership. Russia will find her great men. A few will be rediscovered. Lenine and Trotzky, however, will not be among them. Sooner will Judas be named with the Twelve Apostles. TURN INVITATIONS INTO BONDS Orders for senior invitations are being taken today and Thursday. Invitations are forty cents each, in leather and twenty cents in card board, in either case ten cents cheaper than last year. It has been suggested that seniors send but few invitations this year. Eliminating invitations will be a really patriotic thing to do. The mails will be relieved of just that much of a burden. A car load or two of relatively useless gifts will not be bought and shipped in conventional responses to invitations. The price of the invitations saved if invested in striftamps would in many cases buy a Baby Bond. Many seniors are planning to send announcements instead of invitations thus eliminating the probability of presents, and at the same time saving enough for a contribution to some patriotic work, because of the inexpenisiveness of the announcements. The number of invitations orderse is immaterial to the invitation committee, which makes no profit. One graduates from college only once, of course, and naturally wants the long-anticipated occasion to be as joyously perfect as possible. But in the present national extremity wouldn't the little sacrifice be more than justified? KEEPING UP WITH LIZZIE I know a girl from my home town who came to school this year; but like the wooden Indian, she don't know me down here. I used to go with her at home; she seemed to like me there; but here at old K. U. its quite a different affair. Seems funny how some girls forget the pals they used to know; its policy to drop the guy who's not a "social" beau. Of course she'll take a date with me for a two-dollar show; you can't blame her so very much, she wants a way to go, but when it comes to Friday night, about nine times in ten, she'd like to go so well, you know, but she doesn't see how she can. And Saturday and Sunday too (or any other time) she really had to finish up that History outline; I didn't realize how studious she really is; she'll be a female Socrates, a regular Gee-hise. I know how much I'm in her road because she's set her eye on making a sorority, the Eta Bita Pi; I'm not what's termed a "socia guy" and won't do her much good in showing off what style she got; know I never could. I rather thin she's keeping me to be the last resort, in case he fails to make the "Greek" and needs a man escort Here's to her; and Jove grant she makes the Eta Bita Pies; it would do much good, I guess, to wish otherwise; if but she thinks I'll stile around and wait a month or two she's got her wires badly crossed, if its just what I won't do. She's nii and cute and pretty, but I'll get aloov without her; I'm not looking for lef over at K. U.'s gaurd counter. RedCrossNews FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED. One does not see the Red Cross button frequently on the K. U. campus. Some say they are tired of wearing it; others don't have anything to say at all. Neither party is eager to claim justification for attitude or opinion. If you are inclined to regard as trivial the few small articles you are able to contribute to the University salvage box in Fraser Hall, remember the Red Cross is not too busy an organization to bother with the money these articles bring. No, indeed! they need it. George W. Simmons, manager of the Southwestern Division of the Red Cross, which includes Kansas, has arrived in France where he is to make a brief stay and study the activities of the Red Cross in the field, in order that he may bring back to this country a clearer and fresher appeal for things most necessary in the light of present conditions abroad. William Herbert Carruth, author of the following poem, was head of the German department at the University of Kansas previous to accepting a professorship at Leland Stanford University five years ago. He wrote the words to "Crimson and the Blue," the best known K. U. song: Mav nalsv刮声 me mumble (The Komitadji are old time free large militiaman of Sorbie.) POET'S CORNER But this, my truthful song. And lame my hand, if ever I write good words \*\*\* war, and dumb words \*\*\* war. THE KOMITADJI Who held the trenches that lie along The Danube on opposite Radschi. Red Cross surgeon glared, That sixth night of October. At the Serbian officers, who dared Break ward rules, drunk or sober. But the Komitadji ranged A regiment, but no.

"A regiment, full tale, "But thirty are very few, When the Austrians cannobade us, Though wounded sore, I call on you. To rise from your beds and aid us? With a potent Serbian oath, Like the swirl of a cyclone sweep He lifted the wounded, who little lot Limped out to the final reaping. With a potent Serbian oath. A gruesome corporal's guard, The armarmour, grey, from the Re- Mercy warden, from the Re- Cross ward They followed, bandaged and raged. When the sun of the seventh set, The trench all day replying.

Columbia is to have a school of aviation covering practically the same work as the United States ground schools, according to an announcement made by Prof. E. E. R hedrick of the department of mathematics. In addition to the theoretical work, models will be built in which it will be attempted to incorporate the fundamental principles of aircraft construction. Thirty-six students have already signified their intention of taking the course, ten of whom are waiting for their call to the U. S. ground schools and intend to anticipate a portion of their training there.-Missourian.
