...affect weather. Weather does affect war. To know in advance the climate of a war zone; to have as accurate knowledge as possible of the probability of occurrence of severe cold; of sudden thaws; of heavy rains; of great heat; of high winds--all this is a very essential element in planning a campaign or in organizing a single engagement. Picked troops, discipline, a well-organized system of transport, proper clothing--in short, all that goes to make up the most efficient military organization, is of supreme importance. But we must recognize the fact that the weather...
...regiment" is dainty and sings prettily; and Miss Odell does an excellent bit of acting in the bazaar scene. Although the comedians--Messrs. Monroe, Judels and Edwards--are persevering and fairly amusing, their lines are not too humorous. The chorus, frequently prominent, is unusually good, particularly in the male element, while the orchestra is more than adequate...
...with possibly a single exception, all are worthy of the place they have won in the Advocate. The stories, too, are well written, though slight and immature artistically, as compared with the verse, and depend too exclusively for their effectiveness upon some simple, strong, unshaded contrast, or upon some element of surprise--extravagant or farcical--in the denouement.

There are serious times ahead. Timid messages of caution or good-will are past. The Allies have had our sympathy and moral support for the last two years, but the righteous opportunity has come for us to change our attitude. From now on our every element of strength should be concentrated on the task of suppressing a military power that has long lost regard for the most fundamental and humane rights of other peoples. Sacrifices by American citizens must be made and they will be made readily and joyfully. Yet the sooner the American manufacturer, banker, professor, business...
Throughout the country patriotic Americans are wondering to what dangers the country will be exposed by the machinations of its pro-German element. Throughout the University patriotic students are wondering to what new insults Harvard will be subjected by the deplorably malicious misrepresentation of its true ideals--the ideals of 1776, of 1861, and of 1898--by an insidious-minded group known as pacifists. Linked forever with the names of David Starr Jordan, of LaFollette and his immortal band, and of Bryan! They will be joyfully repudiated by succeeding generations of Harvard men. Unmindful alike of college and country, they...
