...CRIMSON wishes them the best of luck in their battles with the Boche and the elements. They have graduated from a new war-time Harvard without feeling any love for the University. We do not blame them for any hard feelings they nurse towards Cambridge and we refuse to tell them that they are now Harvard men. Still as they go they carry with them our admiration and as we in the future climb on a transport we hope to see at the helm one of the men who for many a day has gloomily tramped the board walks...
...desperate one becomes all the more evident as one considers its effects. In the first place, any bill that throws labor out of employment causes disturbance. Men who depend for, their livelihood on their daily work suffer from the closing of factories. In idleness for several days, they naturally blame someone for their misfortune. The fuel regulator and the Administration behind him are very likely to be the object of their criticism. Through the checking of industry, the Government runs the risk of losing the workman's hearty support. Not only internal, but also external discontent may be easily aroused...
Whether Crozier or Baker is to blame is immaterial. The fact remains there is marked inefficiency in the War Department. The sooner we can weed out this element the sooner we can begin real fighting. The Allies are counting on our guns, our shells and our men to win this war; we have the men, but without arms they are useless.

...fittest, and not necessarily the strongest physically or materially, that survives, and fitness may reside as much in patience, in industry and in moral purpose as in physical strength and in military efficiency. Darwin was certainly not a preacher of militarism, either directly or inferentially. We cannot put the blame for this war either upon Darwin or Nietzsche. When a man is intent upon evil purposes he can quote Scripture to his purpose. The men of cold science may indeed have "inspired" the German aggressors, but it must be noted that the Prussian mind was capable of perverting every utterance...
Were Italy's allies to blame for Cadorna's terrible defeat on the upper Isonzo? Probably that question will be discussed for a good many years to come. The Italians' own confidence in their military competence may be taken by the British and French writers as an excuse for British, French and American neglect, but it excuses the Allies only in a slight degree. It is true that General Cadorna had been regarded as having established his military competence. Nobody supposed that he would leave the strategically most important portion of his line inadequately defended. But the question of responsibility...
