We failed to prevent the loss of American lives on the Lusitania; we failed to prevent British bullying and piracy on the high seas. Had we made our principle of strict accountability clear and unmistakable before the Lusitania sailed, we might have prevented a great catastrophe, and moreover retained the respect of a great nation. Had we brought England to her senses by so simple an expedient as the stoppage of munitions, we might have prevented the pilfering of our mails...
...weeks are to be noted the coming to power of Terauchi in Japan and the beginning of the long deferred struggle for the control of the oil wells and wheat fields of the lower Danube. That Germany was surprised by the entry of Rumania into the war was made clear by the removal of von Falkenhayn; whether von Hindenburg can rectify the error of his predecessor is doubtful.

Fumbling by both sides and an exchange of punts gave the Aggies the ball in the middle of the field, but on the next play they fumbled, V. F. Likins '18 recovering, and, having a clear field, getting away for a touchdown. Gardner failed to kick goal. Toward the end of the period the University secured their next touchdown. The Aggies punted to Willcox, who received on their 44-yard line, where he was downed. But the University started a drive which send Burnham over for the score, Gardner kicking...
