...cannot read the army drill regulations or go through difficult maneuvers every hour of the day, even if the desire to do so is great. Both mind and muscles cry for a change, for an antidote. Professor Copeland will read Sheridan's "Critic" tonight at Brattle Hall, and everyone knows that this will mean an evening of delightful enjoyment and complete relaxation. Doubtless the majority of students have talked war and nothing but war during the entire vacation. Drills start today and also an endless discussion of each individual's plans to become a captain in two weeks. Break...
...will only waste their time in arguing against it, that here in the United States you have a nation of 100,000,000 people eager to prepare, with practically unlimited resources at its command, and the greatest inventive capacity in the world, and there is no doubt in my mind that in a year or two you could organize a larger army than any Power in Europe, and, what is more important, it would be of a better quality because it could be composed of young men of an athletic age.

History shows that we repeatedly reassured Colombia that the treaty would be adhered to, and in the late' seventies we told the European powers that any interference in Colombia affairs would be considered obnoxious by the United States...
...Only by scattered references and the use of military terms in some of the passages which the reviewer is afraid to quote, do the punsters remind us of the military situation. It is just as well that, in these hideous times, we should be given something to take our minds off our studies. In fact, like the publication which it seeks to satirize, the present number of the Lampoon is calculated to take your mind off of anything. This is easy because it first convinces you that you have no mind...
