The great fi�ht is for the safe­ty of democracy, for the ri�hts of allnations, a_!ld. God grant, for perma­nent peace. What to do with Ger­many in order to insure these thingsis the great political question. Tomany people it seems that PresidentWilson has chosen the wisest policy,the most just, and the most logical.Whatever is offered to the publicmind contrary to l)is ideas as theyhave been stated for all democracyto follow, hinders the ultimate success of his policy. That statement which a large number.of seniors are' leavingconcludes President Judson's excel- for military service, there is some agi-lent article on "The T(reat of Ger- :!�O�h:�:::o;h;af:.c�t�ol���:ef�man World-Polities" does not· seem,on the face of it, to express the ril:htattitude towards the post-war Ger­many. President Judson writes:"The only safety for the world canbe found in a complete victory overthe Teutonic empires and in estab­lishing as a guaranty a state of thingswhich would make it exceedingly dif­ficult for them to make another as­sault on civilization with reasonablehope of success." If President Jud­son had only defined that "state ofthings" as being a democratized Ger­many there would be no objection tohis assertion. As it is, people whoare imbued with the "On to Berlin"and "Crush Germany" spirit, havesomething, in the bare statement ofPresident Judson, with their kind ofinterpretation, to feed upon. And be­cause -these University of ChicagoWar Papers are to receive exceed­ingly wide distribution, it is highly es­sential to the post-war aims of de­mocracy as conceived by PresidentWilson that the public does not re­ceive from them opinions which seemon the surface so much out of har­rnony with President Wilson's policy.It is to be hoped that the ensuingPapers will not adopt the "CrushGermany" attitude, which is' not theright attitude, and will state theiropinions in such a way that: they can-Illinois-In spite of the w.k. war�conomy, thirty-two per cent moreice cream than last year' is being soldto the student body.

That's' how pre-pared the Germans were." ,Describes French Morality.He frankly admitted that thetrenches were no ideal spot for fos­tering the politeness and ordinarycolorless morality of modern life; andthat the soldiers do not on the sur­face seem to bother with the conven­tional religious attitudes and ordinaryconventions that characterize politesociety. "But to those squeamish indi­viduals," said Peat, "who have a hor­ror that the army life will spoil forever after the young manhood of thenation, I have this to say, 'Nowherein the wide world have I seen suchkindness, democracy and brotherlylove as amidst the foul regions of thetrenches. In aU the time I spent inthe fighting lines, I failed to observeqne unkind deed.'z Down deep in their hearts, the menhave the most reverent and holy feel­ing, 'despite. their profanity and out­ward irreverance. For those who heldthe thin line against the Prussians inthe ea�ly days of the war know tnatno mortal power could have stoppedthe -Germans from coming on if theys.o chose. It was not our thin, punyhne that stopped them. If we werethe only obstacle, they could havemarched right on to Paris and thento London. No, it was not humanbut Divine power that stayed the Ger�man hordes, and it is the power ofGod that will eventually win the warfor the Alli�s."Peat's final appeal was "Don't prayfor. the Russians to recuperate, or forthe Germans to revolt, or for any mir­acle to happen, but get down into themidst of things and do your part rightaway, no matter how smail it is. Thatsort of action will win the war."Two team opposition in the Confer­ence meet is the proposition that.
