...Even if a man was discharged from the service more than 18 months ago, he may still be reinstated if he will make his application before December 31, 1919. No physical examination for reinstatement is necessary, and all that is required is that the applicant pay premiums for two back months, and sign a statement to the effect that he is in as good physical health as he was at the time of his discharge. Also it is not necessary to reinstate the full $10,000 of insurance; the applicant may reinstate $1,000 or more...
...meddle in British politics. As Senator Lodge bluntly said, "it is none of our business." English opinion is significantly set forth in the following quotation taken from the London Times: "The problem of Irish peace is essentially a British-nay, even-an English problem, to be faced by Englishmen.

But Harvard is fortunate in not being administered by Prussian autocrats...
...shared some of the current misapprehensions of the spirit of this university, it is especially gratifying to find here a general attitude of tolerance and fair play both inside the classroom and outside. To be more explicit, liberalism, as a philosophy, appears to he thriving here; and, more important even than that, there is evidently a genuine and very healthy interest in the social and political problems of the day. The visit of Mr. Plumb, for instance, and especially the enthusiasm with which his audience stayed on to question him, are encouraging symptoms. The editorials of the CRIMSON, too, deserve...
