...Germans, relying on our hazy knowledge of facts, are attempting to appeal to our sympathy. Too much has been sacrificed to yield to any momentary reaction towards sentimentalism. The German arguments can easily be overturned, provided we view them in the light of knowledge and justice...
...higher than that of R. W. Harwood '20 who tied with three others for third. In the shot-put and hammer-throw G. A. Clark '19 and A. Stevens '19 added to the University's total by placing fourth and fifth respectively. Braden, Yale's captain, was forced to yield first place in the shot-put to W. H. Allen of Maine...
...part, explains why we are borrowing now "only $3,000,000,000 and oversubscriptions," instead of the $10,000,000,000 which we had expected to borrow.

For war purposes it matters not how little or how much these smaller crops exceed in value these of previous years. Armies and nations are fed with food, not with money; it is the physical material itself which must...
