Allow me to comment on the interesting and typical viewpoint presented by the communication published in Wednesday's CRIMSON. Mr. Crusius is perfectly right in assuming that we are in no danger from foreign invasion if we have adequate coast-defences. But what are adequate conast-defences? Does Mr. Crusius assume that we already have, or can possibly have within the next ten years, a navy of sufficient strength alone to stand guard over our enormous coast-line?

Nine poems prance off with the remainder of the current Advocate upon the back of Pegasus. "The Ideal," by Mr. S. B. McKinley '16; "At Parting," by Mr. S. Hall '16; and "Off to the War," by Mr. W.

"Toy Soldiers" is a "war play" written from a novel viewpoint and portraying the lighter side of the present European crisis in an amusing manner. In con- trast to the comedy of the other two plays "Garafelia's Husband" is in a more serious vein. In a number of strong scenes it pictures the love of a New England wife...
