...similarity. Both are highly contagious, just as much so before the appearance of the "eruption" or "rash" as afterward. If one will consider this fact, he may see how important it is to consult a physician on the appearance of the first symptoms, not only for his own sake but in order to prevent the spread of contagion. It is with this motive in view that the following early symptoms common to measles and German measles are given. There is usually a "cold in the head," which may or may not be associated with sneezing; a slight cough; occasional chilly...
...this is a boldly imaginative undertaking, with a final page of no small power, it savors of positive recklessness to attempts a summary of it in a brief paragraph. The attempt is made primarily for the sake of calling attention to the possibilities of sudden development in young Americans. It is only seven years since the 1910 Monthly board was in College. If their writing had then been scrutinized with a view to what the writers would do in such an emergency as that to which the world has come, what would the prophecy have been? The answer...

...with foreign powers because she is militarily weak? Foreign diplomats will construe our proposal as follows: "We do not want to fight, and besides, we are weak; let us have perpetual peace." And their construction will be correct, for although Mr. Wilson may desire world peace for its own sake, the American people, if it proposes world peace, will do so for the sake of American safety and American interests. It is not likely that America's proposal will be accepted if she says, in effect: "We propose a world league to enforce peace, every member of which pledges itself...
