Even dullards could see the drift of such talk. Europe's entire Press (particularly the Swiss) broke out in a rash of headlines suggesting that the Disarmament Conference, scheduled to reconvene in Geneva on Oct. 16, will face in acute form the alternatives of Disarmament or War. Slightly appalled by the effect of the dynamite Prince Bismarck had so dutifully exploded, the German Foreign Office appealed to Ambassador-at-Large Davis to "mediate" in Geneva between their delegation and the French...
...since the great strike of 1922. Three hundred guardsmen were marched in under orders from Governor Gifford Pinchot which amounted to martial law. Eight thousand striking coal miners looked on stolidly as a week of petty riots and bloodshed ended in peace, only to flare up again in a rash of nasty fights which spread the general disorder into adjoining counties, stopping work in at least 30 collieries...

This was of course a rash and heartless statement, based on a newspaper man's false notion that the world moves on sentiment and sensation. But before the writer pleads guilty of ignoring the "great underlying forces which have molded Harvard's glorious history" he would like to point out that, of Harvard, the Great Rebellion...
