Every college graduating class for the last century or so has heard the appeal to take a live interest in public affairs and to get into the midst of political activities. How well the appeal is being answered appears in a recent study of the personnel of Congress, which shows 380 members of the present House and Senate, or nearly three-fourths of the members, who had a collegiate education.

...German arms received the lethal blow when the United States declared war. They cannot now help but fail. It has been a boast of the Hohenzollerns that each ruler added some bit to the Prussian land. The last of the Hohenzollerns will live to see that long and cruelly-wrested land snatched from him again.
