...rights of neutrals upon the seas cannot be established by a belligerent, but only by general understanding and consent." Hence, if a belligerent takes it upon itself to abrogate the laws of war, which have been established by "general understanding and consent," it is the duty of neutrals to forego their rights. Of course it is an "unpatriotic act" for an American citizen to assert his privileges as such on the high seas!

...preparation for yesterday's game evidently consisted chiefly in studying the wiles of Ulysses. When the CRIMSON nine appeared on Soldiers Field, it found an opposing aggregation consisting chiefly of hired thugs, with a few wise boys interspersed to give the outrageous affair an air of sanctity.

Under present circumstances it may be impossible for the University to forego this rental charge. But why should the Union be the only College building which has to pay taxes? It is not a private club, but the property of the entire University which it serves; and it is therefore entitled to the exemption which other such property enjoys...
