...transfer men and guns from another portion of the front. The stand taken by the press at the time of the Marne to the effect that a real defeat had been suffered and that it should be retrieved by yet harder fighting, no longer seems to be a safe policy. It is the necessity of making the German public fancy that their army had avoided a trap and thus won a negative success which is the true significance of this attitude. No hint of a failure is admitted to the people even in the midst of a series of unqualified...
...upon the humanities and upon the human spirit. It is no time to urge the finer things of life while Germany pursues her international debauch of murder, outrage and plunder. Nothing but the lasting scorn of human society can sting that arrogant nation into a penitence that will make safe and good neighbors of them.

Yet from what we have seen of the Freshman elevens at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton so far this year, it will be safe to say the University first year men have no easy task ahead of them. Last Saturday these Freshmen only tied Exeter Academy, 7 to 7, the New Hampshire team holding the position of weather-cock this year. The Yale 1921 eleven defeated Exeter 20 to 0, while Princeton scored...
