...Crimson seven came back after the intermission, Percy taking a pass from Rice and putting it past Ford, and Rice following a moment later with a long shot that got by. Baldwin went in at left centre in the middle of the period and within two minutes had made the Crimson's fourth and last tally, carrying the puck down himself. Schoen made Princeton's third score 13 seconds before the end of the game...
America is considering the proposal of an international league to be organized at the close of the great war; let us assume, for a moment, that America has decided to make this proposal.

No distinction is made between those romantic spirits who gave their lives for the world's sake in opposing the Huns, and the German boy who was called to his colors.

It approves the invasion of Belgium and the sinking of the Lusitania by the same...
