Both points of view are worthy of deep consideration, but on closer reading of the treaty, it becomes clear that the terms are just and wise. They do not violate the principle of self determination. The Allies can not be accused of wanton aggression; the distribution of territory is well-balanced, no country receiving any possession to which it has not a right. In the Sarre Valley question, it is interesting to remember that Dean Haskins, as head of the Rhine Boundary Commission, played a prominent part. The question has at last been settled in a way to repair...
...first duty of the Peace Conference at Paris was to being the war with Germany to an end and fix such terms of victorious peace as would discourage any nation from undertaking a war of wanton aggression for all time. But months have been wasted in parleying about vague schemes for future peace which should have been devoted to forcing Germany at once to realize that she has been defeated. After bringing this war to a close there will be ample time to talk about the prevention of future wars. They are two distinct and separate propositions...
...principle of predatory militarism cannot be done away unless mankind has the intelligence, the magnanimity and the determination so to organize itself that justice shall take the place of violence, and that the predatory state shall be restrained, by force if need boy from a wanton resort to arms.

Of all the large German cities Cologne is nearest to the British hangars; it is much nearer than Mannheim, which has repeatedly received the favors of the Allied aerial visitors; and it is the capital of Rhenish, Prussia. It is possible that Cologne has been spared hitherto...
...allowing students who will enter war service to leave early. Those of us who are lucky enough to be enrolled in Uncle Sam's forces at any time after April 14 will receive full credit for the courses in which we have done creditably. This is not a wanton generosity on the part of the College; it is merely an award of work done well by men eager to do their part, but prevented by age or unavoidable circumstances. To have spent so much of a year in College and to go unrewarded would be an absurd as well...
