...situation is considerably different. With 50,000 tickets already sold, and the usual activities around the Square promising a sell-out by Saturday, the H.A.A. doesn't have to worry just a present where its next athletic dollar is coming from. The reason for the ticket-scramble is obvious: the prospect of a hard-fought, even-terms game with plenty of color added. This difference in game forecasts is adequate to explain the difference in turnstile revolutions...
...first German assault could be expected. Gaining this foothold, the Germans could then press on to take Flushing and other coastal points south of the river deltas, enjoying the Dutch flood zone as protection for their right flank from any counterattack. The likelihood of this attack, and its obvious menace to Belgium, was believed last week to have led King Leopold to tell Queen Wilhelmina that if the Germans invaded her land, his troops would have to occupy her southeastern corner to meet them.

The notion that war profiteers do play a part in drawing the country into war, and the idea that a war crisis may be used as a pretext for legislation destructive of civil liberties and labor and social security standards, while they seem obvious to us, are apparently doubtful for many students. Similarly, we may have been over-eager to link up points which we consider connected but which in the popular mind are dissociated. Objection to connecting the Good Neighbor policy with settlement of the oil dispute with Mexico may be vulnerable...
