...speakers of nation-wide reputation have been secured for the occasion. They are James M. Beck of New York City and John R. Rathom of Providence, R. I. The former is probably chiefly known by his book "The Case Against Germany," which is a lawyer's digest of the propaganda that the Imperial government has carried on in the United States, as evidence 1 by the revelation of German diplomatic communications. Mr. Beck is one of the most prominent leaders of the American Bar and probably has argued more cases before the United States Supreme Court than any other contemporary...
...look askance at the list of new courses to be offered by the University this next half-year. As against two French courses stand seven new German subjects. Oh treason of the blood! And so the great New England seat of learning is after all willing to disseminate enemy propaganda under the guise of education. No; the fact is that Harvard is not yet infected with a blind patriotism which sweeps all before it, whether it be good or not. President Lowell's last report, with its promise of academic freedom, must become a historic document. That promise will...
...Prussian spirit is that of violence. It was inevitable that it should at some time break through its respectable restraints and take its arrogant way of blood and fire.

If Lenine and Trotzky are to receive a Nobel prize, let it not be branded one given for peace. Rather let it be the Nobel prize for subtle treason, for ingenious treachery, for cold feet. By making ridiculous agrarian land promises to the Russian peasantry, Lenine and Trotzky have been...
...French and the Italians want the American Y. M. C. A. to take up its work behind their lines and it has promised to comply. The Russians need our assistance in the form of both huts and cantonments. Their Army is in many places demoralized: the poison of German propaganda is having its dire effect of which the antidote is work such as Dr. Mott discribed. The Russian soldier has many hours of leisure, he must be kept busy or he falls prey to clever German speakers who fill his punitive mind with theories of Teuton love and internationalism...
