When theatregoers heard that Donald Brian had left his former co-partners, Julia Sanderson and Joseph Cawthorne, there was general dissatisfaction. It was felt that "united we stand, divided we fall" would be quite applicable to this move. To witness "Her Regiment," now playing at the Shubert Theatre, is proof that such a view is correct, for even Victor Herbert's music is not enough to warrant Mr. Brian's appearance as a sole star. It is true that Mr. Brian has been surrounded with a cast of mediocrity, which might excuse leniency in judgment. He dances as well...
Foreign armies include in their ranks even boys, while we hesitate to enroll all who have reached their majority. That men between 20 and 22 years of age make enthusiastic, efficient soldiers needs no proof, nor can the authorities at Washington be ignorant of this fact. Not only do they show as much skill in fighting, but they also are less likely than older recruits to have dependents. Comparatively few have progressed so far in business or in any profession that their prospects of future success are seriously diminished. By enrolling men as they come of age the War Department...
...emphasizes the practical and immediately useful studies, yet it does not detract from the value of a classical training.

The demand for men whose training has been devoted entirely to success in business has caused an addition to the college curriculum, not a substitution. Mental training and the need of it remain the same however much the world changes. That which has developed great minds...

That Harvard with so small a number of students could pledge over fifty thousand dollars to this work was proof of the splendid spirit of those few men who had to stay at home. But the pledging is very much less than half the tale. The question of collection is quite imminent. That part of the story seems to be progressing with difficulty. It is not to be doubted that those who have pledged will eventually make good their promise...
This action on the part of Canada is strong proof that we were wise to push through our conscription measure last spring. Volunteer methods might have served us for a time, but they are not dependable or of permanent value. We gave our Government a great source of power when we allowed it to select all men necessary for service. But it will take power to win this war, and it is well that we did not play with a scheme which was sure to become ineffectual...
