Some of our more gullible readers may readily infer from this article that the CRIMSON is an instrument of the Nation's great munition concerns who are supposed to desire the most terrible of wars. It may be the case that one or two of the writer's accusations can be regarded seriously. He complains that we have declared war already by taking the Harvard Union for American Neutrality to task.
