Last night's abortive riot of the Freshmen in the Yard was a completely dismal failure, and seems to be a good example of the degeneracy which has set in among the younger generation.

But times have changed, and past generations of men are being supplanted by a third rate lot of "wee cowering timorous beasties...

...patriotic editors of Canton who were still shrieking for war against Japan. Censors carefully rejected everything which might possibly offend Japan, but did permit the Canton editors to issue their papers with reams and reams of blank columns. These sufficiently suggested to alert Chinese readers the scorching, trenchant and clarion calls to 450,000,000 Chinese to rise against 97,000,000 Japanese which would have appeared if only they had not been left...
