LEARN TO OBSERVE
The interest in the art of camou-
flage, brought to such perfection on
the battlefields by the enemy and the
allied soldiers, contains an interesting
fact. The eye of the average human
being is a poor weak thing, accept-
ing many illusions for facts. It is
only our brain which saves us from
all sorts of mishaps. The things which
animals and persons carefully train-
ed in observation can see with ease,
the average city dweller overlooks.
And yet the eye can be brought to
a high degree of perfection in the art
of observation. What sort of eyes did
Dickens and Thackeray have that they
were able to portray human nature
with such vividness on their paper
canvas? No better than the ones you
and I possess, yet they saw in people
those peculiar traits and mannerisms,
which, when .described with sufficient
skill, made the people described en-
dure.
Careful observation is almost indis-
pensiblel to the average college man
or woman. We can gain it in class by
watching the professor, catching the
fine phrasing of some part of his lec-
ture and noticing the accompanying
facial expression. We can catch the
look on the store keeper as we pass
his window and carefully analyze his
emotion or the amounkof intelligence
he displays. We can watch for the co-
ordination of muscles and brain which
enables the expert gymnast to do the
giant swing in the gymnasium. All
these things call for a large amount
of training of eye and brain. Care-
ful observation is akin to careful rea-
soning. If we lose the habit of going
blindly and acquire the instinct of
watching the panorama of the world
pass before us, a new plane of living
will be opened before us. To be real-
ly alive we must learn to observe.
With the faculty's subscription
mounting higher "over the top," we
are beginning to wonder if there are
any members of that body who have
as yet failed to earn a degree of
L.L.D., received for assisting in the
Liberty Loan drive.

MESSINES
Messines is one of the keys which
LI open the western front to the
rmans. If captured, the ridge will
an the forced abandonment of a
ge amount of territory in the Ypres
lient by the defenders.
[here is no use in deluding our-
ves with the belief that the Ger-
,ns are not making important gains
the northern half of the western
nt. They are. But they are be-
ise they must. Speedy victory is
ir only salvation in this war. The
t that they are sacrificing tens of
usands of men, in this, the crux
almost four years of bloody war-
a detracts but little from the pow-
'ul fact that they are reaping at
st partial successes ;in their efforts.
'he situation is even more serious
n three weeks back, when the Ger-
ns were threatening the battle line
ther south. If Ypres falls the tir-
Germans will take heart. The
my will strike again as soon as
nanly possible. He must. His day
now. No one knows this better
m he. His naval efforts against
ssia can be discerned without read-
between the lines. He is endeav-
ng to gain possession of the Russ-.
navy to use with his own in a
reme effort to gain the decision
r the fleets of England, France,
i the United States. He is willing
sacriflce his all if he must to gain
at he must gain now! He is not
ased with the rumors he has heard
t the United States has 750,000 men
oss the sea.
aptured Messines would spell a
ory for the enemy. It means the
s of territory, but aside from that
victory will be a hollow one. Ter-
ry is as nothing compared with
n. The allied armies are still intact,
l continue to inflict the severest
alties each foot they retire. It is a-
stion whether the capture of the
ge, and the consequent withdrawal
in the adjacent territory will pro-
g the ultimate result, for perhaps
harvest of German lives by the
ed machine guns must equal this.
n are the hardest to replace.
rntil the advancing enemy horde
capable of capturing towns of im-
'tance, or put out of action by
turs, death, or wounds a like num-'
of men comparable with his own,
situation is less serious for our
se than would appear on the sur-
f. Hindenburg is rapidly exhausting
trump cards. Foch holds his intact
il an allied offensive has failed to
1 there is no great cause for wor-
to drag out the overworked saying oL
General S. No more shall soldierly
heads be bared to the smile of the
passing co-ed. No more shall the
wicker-basket affair supplied by Ulcle
Sam to his student warriors be lifted
in reverent silence to the casual land-
lady. Lieutenant Mullen has de-
creed that a stiff arm salute shall
henceforth be in vogue at all times,'
both in male company and vice versa.
But then the vice versa will soon be
wearing khaki anyway, so what's the
diff?

"Windows Painted witn Warning In-
scriptions"
One of the city hotels has an old
time bicycle in the window, having
a large wheel in the back and a small
one in front. Together with this there
is a picture of "ein glass beer." The.
warning inscription reads "Remem-
ber! Old Timers! Prepare!"
"Stout boy or man wanted to help
in press room for several days." The
work must be very "pressing."
"Doggone these women any way,"
said the man dropping the receiver
after kidding her along for 40 minu-
tes.

Corporal Frederick B. Wahr of the
national army stationed at Camp Cus-
ter, formerly of the German depart-
ment of the University, at a Liberty
Loan luncheon held yesterday after-
noon, denied the current rumors that
the drafted men were mistreated at the
camps.
"Statements of this sort are abso-
lutely false," Corporal Wahr declared.
"The government is taking the best of
care of the soldiers, who are supplied
with all the necessary accommoda-
tions."
The corporal praised the life of the
soldiers in the camps, declaring it to
be thoroughly democratic. He said,
"Life in the army for seven months
has taught me one thing. It has made
me a believer in universal military
service. The army is where the dem-
ocratic ideals of humanity, and Amer-
icanism, are being taught. If we adopt
universal training for our youth, the
army is going to be the melting pot
of our young men. It will make them
realize what America really means
