MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1918.
Peace in America half a century ago did not come by "conferences" between political leaders, but by the message from the leader in the field that he was ready to lay down his arm. Peace now will come in much the same way.
Those new engineers over at Marvin Hall are already beginning to absorb some of the atmosphere, even if they have been here only three weeks. They are beginning to cast the evil eye on the mere college students in their classes.
W don't agree with the Starbeams man at all. We don't want the kaiser condemned to a diet of cornbread—that's far too good for him. We want him to have nothing but Lawrence water.
The shortage of coal and the shortage of sugar and all the numerous other shortages are going to be as nothing compared to what the shortage of library dates will be when military regulations go into effect on the campus.
According to all reports, the breakfast provided by Uncle Sam at Barracks 1 and 2 is far superior to the piece of cold toast and cup of scorched cocoa snatched from the boarding house table five minutes before the 8 o'clock whistle blows.
It won't be long before there'll be one hundred and forty martens on the campus to "tell it to."
THE CAPTAIN SPEAKS
CAPTAIN SCHER is an extremely busy man. He just has 2500 men to provide with food and clothing and shelter and to turn into good soldiers in a very short time. He has a medical detachment, a vocational section, and navy and marine units to watch over as well as the infantry section. In addition he must interview all candidates for officers' training camps and answer all the fool questions people in general ask about the army and the war.
Tuesday afternoon he is going to steal a little time to talk to the women of the University at the first Y. W. C. A. meeting in Myera Hall. It is his first appearance before them and he will bring them a soldier's message. He will tell them something of the part they are to play in the military scheme of things. He can't meet everybody personally but he can meet every woman at the meeting tomorrow.
THE NERVOUS WRECK; A FABLE
THERE was once a student who spent all the October days in the laboratory and the library. He worked with windows shut so that his gas would burn efficiently and aid his work. He breathed noxious gases and handled dusty books from early in the morning until late at night. He spent his evenings at his study table and worked until far into the early morning. He shut out all longings for the October out-of-doors and devoted himself to labor.
But with all his labor he accomplished nothing. His results in chemistry were far from accurate and his note books were never ready. He flunked his quizzes and was reprimanded by the professor who had fervently praised his industry. And finally he took to his bed with a nervous fever and babbled deliriously of zinc sulphate and the internal reforms of Frederick the Great. Then they sent him to a hospital where he was kept many moons.

They sat at a cupur in a shadowy room. "but you," she said, "you are an artist! You Depale this tearing down of all our dreams!" They stared at the world, world, world, and beauty falls in ashes at her feet.

Those men and women rise—and we must rise.
Who has come back, a ruin from the war?"

She turned. There was a soldier at the door; and one sleeve of his uniform hung limp, and there were many men sitting, weeks, weeks, weeks, whispered. "Yet he seems. The only whole and perfect man I know." Towns, Towns, Towns.
FOREIGNERS
TO be "outlandish," according to Webster, is to be "barbarous, uncouth, unfamiliar of aspect or actin, out of the way, strange, bizarre"; in general, it is a derogatory term. The next step is to the most 'basic form, "outland," which is "land lying beyond the limits of occupation or cultivation"; and the same process develops "outlander," which stands revealed beneath all eupheny of definition as meaning simply a "foreigner."
by how many persons American-born, accustomed to the inflow of peoples from all lands, has not this derisive term, "outlandish," been used as a common means of characterisation? The Italian organ grinder—the "wop," the "guinney," the "dago"—with his velvetten breeches, his gay but greasy waistcoat, his garlanded Alpine hat, his monkey and his wheezing instrument, has always been to Americans an outlandish creature, however natural he might have been on his own soil. Similarly with the exclamative, Alphonse-and-Gaston Frenchman—to be dialectally precise, the "frog-eater"—of whom the geographies taught little more than that he came of a "pleasure-love people, fond of dancing and light wines"; the sibilant "Jap"; the "Chink," sung-song, slippered, black-jacketed; the Mexican "greaser"; the "Bohunk," the "Scandise;" the "Limie" (British tar); the "Dutchman"; each with his distinctive and traditional caricatured outlandishness.
This uncharity toward the foreigner is not a trait singular to the American. He shares it to a greater or lesser degree with all peoples. Probably the word "outlandish"—at any rate the idea is translatable into all languages. The greater the seclusion of a people, the more significant, it will be found, the term do become. For example, in China, until recent years, any one who dwelt outside the "Middle Kingdom" was not only a foreigner but a devil. As late as the beginning of this century the most cultured European was to the most benighted Chinese coolie not only outlandish but an unequivocal barbarian. It need scarcely be said that to a very large number of Chinese this distinction still holds good.
The geographies of the next generation will paint a far different picture of the Frenchman, now that the Marne and Verdun have illumined him in fuller figure. He no longer will be outlandish in our eyes. The Brition for us will not be the monocled imbecile of the stage, although the monocled imbecile quite likely will survive war and time; the change will be one of perception. Long whiskers and Cossack ferocity of mien no longer will characterize the Russian. It is even conceivable that the "wop," the "Chink," and the "Jap" will be able to walk abroad unattended by the deprivation of the American gamin—although it is true that this is an extravagant prophecy, boydom being everywhere the very root form of barbariy.
There is another side of the picture. The energy of the war having smoothed national egotism into a saner manifestation, there will be less outlandishness. Not only will the eye of the world have become cosmopolitanized in its range of perception, but the world itself will have changed its habitude. Personal and spiritual association in a high cause will have leveled many an angle.
A WILLING SACRIFICE
