After driving for over a month with an Intensity hitherto unequalled, the German offensive has finally come to a stop. Whether it has been a great enemy victory or a triumph of Allied resistance is a relative question which time alone can determine. In point of territory conquered it has been the most significant movement of the latter years of the war. An Allied gain of equal importance would have been heralded as a great victory. There is, therefore, no discounting the fact that the Allies have suffered a serious set-back. Upon the other side, however, the Allied line...
...hitherto been customary to require five weeks' service as an enlisted man before a Marine is considered eligible for the officers' training camp. Men with a university training, however, will be required to appear before a selection board, which will have the choice of candidates for commissions in its hands. Such special action has been taken because of the extensive military training given at the University. Only those who obtain a certificate showing satisfactory completion of the military instruction given in the R. O. T.

For all that, its history, its size and some of its architectural features no doubt entitle it to the respect which the British and French aviators have hitherto paid to it. But if considerations of military advantage should render it desirable to follow up the recent small attack on Cologne with larger and more destructive raids, and in one of these the cathedral at Cologne should be wrecked, its destruction would make but a poor exchange for the Cathedral...
...election is interesting not because the vote of a Democrat or a Republican or a Socialist more or less will have any effect upon the legislation of the Senate, but because it will indicate the change, or lack of change, in sentiment in that hitherto pacifistic state. More than half the representatives from Wisconsin voted against declaring war last April and the legislature has only been induced after the lapse of a year to censure the notoriously disloyal La Follette. While the majority of the press and public men have since come out in support of the Government...
