...disgrace to this great University, that has turned out so many men of great vision as well as keen intellect, that our paper should be guilty of fanning the flames of hysteria by jumping to the conclusion that the fire at Worcester was the deliberate plot of Reds simply because "it is the suspicion of many officials" that "it was of incendiary origin." Suppose it was of incendiary origin, have we any right to conclude that "the finger of guilt seems to point to Bolshevism...
...yesterday was incendiary in origin is the suspicion of many officials who are investigating the stricken area. If evidence is forthcoming to prove that such is the case, a serious problem is at once presented. So widespread is the district affected that whether the responsibility lies in a deliberate plot on the part of "reds," or of a gang of fanatical firebugs, the matter calls for the fullest examination...

The daring treatment of the theme results here in a sacrifice of plausibility to uniqueness--for the plot is certainly unique if nothing else. The ordinary mortal has no difficulty in experiencing the definite thrills of such "spook" dramas as "The Ouija Board," but in comparison, "One" is a very ambitious attempt which is not so easy to understand. The convenient method of communication between the sisters does not seem quite in keeping with customary procedure in such matters, but the exigencies...
