LIEBKNECHT'S SOLITARY "NO"
Stands Out for Peace Against All
Germany
From the Boston Transcript.
Kenneth R. Reichstay, the attention of the whole civilized world by his courageous "No" in the Reichstag on December 2, when the kaiser for a second time demanded popular support in financing the war. When the two sides agreed to him for his action on December 2 he defended himself as follows: "I voted against the war credits because, according to my conviction, they were sharply opposed not only to the interim program of the party and the resolutions of the international socialist congresses, and because the socialist Reichstaz group has no right to deal with the program and of party resolution."
In trying to suppress Lieknecht, the socialist party machine will doubtless meet the same difficulties as has the German government, which has been persecuting him for years. It is true that the Nazi regime was a brilliant, but extremely systematic and cautious lawyer, with a large practice among the people, and the highest reputation with friends and enemies alike. The government has perscribed him because he has been the most formidable leader and organizer of the antiimmiliteratist movement in Germany. He had been imprisoned him once, and then only by the most extraordinary stretching even of the extremely severe German law
Ever since his early youth Liel Knecht has "specialized" on antimilitarism. He has made a study of militarism and the means to combat it and he has become a master of the practical methods necessary for such work in semiabsolute German territory. His antimilitarism has been carried on largely through the organization of German youth for the purposes of general culture.
Having led in this difficult and dangerous work for 20 years, Karl Liebknecht is the ideal of the majority of the German state. When we were taken there would be little question that he would get at least half of the suffractions of socialists under middle age, though it is possible that his brilliant opponent, Erhard Hirschfeld, treasoned in the present war, might have divided the vote evenly with him.
Liebknecht first came before the world at the time of his prosecution for the publication of his pamphlet, "Antimilitarismus." It need not be said that Liebknecht by no means indies the insurrectionary militarism of Constantin I. He became the attack at the beginning of a war to be altogether the most costly and least promising method of fighting militarism. *
Andrew Lang says that, like all Scotch people, he had a vague family connection with Stevenson but that he and never had about 1873, when he was in Mentone. "Here," he goes on, "met Mr. Sidney Colvin, now of the British Museum, and with Mr. Ransom, who is among my eyes, he always did look, more like a less than a lad, with a rather long, smooth oval face, brown hair worn at great length, but whether blue or brown, certainly if brown, certainly light brown."

ne not do as the Italians do? It would have been well for me if I could have imitated the wearing of the cloak! I shall not deny that my first impression was not wholly favorable. "Here," I thought, "is one of your esteemed young men, though a little bit more than what the teller about I forget; probably about books." He had just written his essay, "Ordered Seed," and says Mr. Lang, "on reading 'Ordered Seed' I saw, at once, that here was a new writer, a writer indeed; one who could do what none of us, nous autres, could rival or approach." Then he ended of an article, and how devout was our belief, how happy our pride, in the young one! I have known no man in whom the preeminently manly virtues of kindness, courage, sympathy, generosity, helpfulness, were more beautifully conspicuous than in Mr. Steinberg, a man we know not too strongly in word—by many, such various people. He was as unique in character as in literary genius."
The old order has changed, yielding place to the new. Hungry dates do not flock there as once they did, to cluster around the tables in the back part of the store, approached by a wee flight of steps.
"His cloak and Tyroles hat (he would admit the innocent impeachment) were decidedly dear to him. On the frontier of Italy, why should
Have you ever wondered who supplied soft drinks and hamburgers to students before Lee and Brick or kindly undertook the job? In case you haven't here's the answer. It was Vic.
Victor Keller was his whole name, but it was used about as much as Lee Bryant's is now. His place of business was with the Company and Fourteenth, but it is no longer "Vic." The sign over the door informs the passerbys that John Morgan holds forth there, and that his company has other functions, and various other delicacies.
A good many people here, and not very old people either, remember Vic's with a good deal of pleasure. They smile reminiscently whenever they pass "John Morgan's" as they think of past ages.
Prof. E. W. Murray of the department of Latin, is one of these. According to his own confession, he was a star patron of Vic's.

"There wasn't any mid-week date rule to trouble us in those days," says the professor, "So Vie had a fine trade. He lived above his store, and no hour did not go out of bed and down to the kitchen to feed belated customers. We used to get up a crowd of five or six couples after a dance, go around to Vic's at about two a. m., and pound on his door, yelling and shouting to him unkindly. You weren't like it, too, and would have been hurt if we hadn't done it."
Vic began to lose his popularity with the students, seven or eight years ago, and it was time the stairs to his little balcony-like dining room. He stayed at the old stand until a few years ago, however, when he so'd out and left, perhaps discouraged him, to ask *student* checks. Quien sahe?

HAUCER A LEARNED MAN?
Scholars Debate Whether Writer o
"Canterbury Tales" Was Educated
From the Chicago Herald.
"Is Chaucer a learned man? For many years this question was answered in a decided affirmative, but modern scholarship hesitates to call him learned, though in denying this attribute no disparagement of his potency. But his reading, Winatt Watts in his new "Masters of English Literature."
Dr. Chubb proceeds to review the opinions of Chaucer's early biographers "who placed no limit to his profound and comprehensive learning," as he describes the university's logician, orator, poet, philosopher and mathematician, as well as a "devout theologian," in all these departments of study. "But," contended Dr. Chubb, "we outlawed that this great learning is rather a matter of tradition than of
fact, "But we must not infer that Chaucer was unacquainted with the learning of his age. Latin and French were known to a.l educated them."
"In addition to these, he also knew Italian; but his knowledge was that of a man of letters, of the artist who loved literature, of the art of the writer, and for insight into life. The French writers whom he knew are now forgotten save by the specialist in literature, but the Italian are Petruch, Dionis, and Bocacca."
As to Chaucer's acquaintance with Dante, Dr. Chubb thinks it was not as extensive as has been supposed. The only three references in the third three references. In Trollius and Criseye occur three remindings us of that passage in Dante which Tennyson has made familiar through his works. For example, "But as Dante followed Boethius, and as Chaucer was more familiar with Boehius than with Dante, it is hardly fair to assume that Chaucer's acquaintance with Dante."
"Chaucer's acquaintance with an ancient writers ranges from the familiar names of Vergil, Ovid and Virgil to more famous Florentius Valerius Maximus and Macrobius. He names Clecro but twice, and Livy but five times, and then always in connection with the same story by the great center he connected with the great centers of heroic deeds—Alexander the Great, charlemagne, King Arthur and above all, with the Trojan war, with the Trojan allies, with the to have been thoroughly familiar."
