Our War V ANY of you students are worried because you feel that you ought to be Ksrol already engaged in some actual service in the Great War. You feel that you ought to be over there, in the trenches, perhaps, or somewhere back of the line taking active part in the deadly combat. Your patriotism sets you on fire and you would gladly sacrifice all your prospects for a future successftil life in order to serve your country. You feel that this is our war and that we must all have a part in it. You are right, this is our war. It is the war of every individual man, woman, and child who lives in this democracy and believes in a democracy. It is the war of every liberty-loving individual against those who assert that it is their divine right to govern and rule others arbitrarily. Each one of us must take a hand in this struggle but we must fight where we can do so to best advantage. We cannot all carry guns or go up in aeroplanes. Our President stays confined to the limits of the White House. Our great men in civil life no longer travel as they please, but remain chained to their posts knowing that they can best serve their country there. Each one of us must do his duty where it lies. It is not a question of what we want to do but what we ought to do. As there is need of soldiers, so there is need of others to supply their wants. When some go out to fight others must do the work which they have left. And the young especially must submit with patience to their period of training so that they will be as ready when their turn comes to carry on the battle of human freedom. But none of us is limited to a selfish pursuit of personal ends. That would kill democracy- We must be open to every call for help. A training in service is as much a part of oui education as is the development which we get from contact with books and teachers. A full life in a land of freedom requires a complete preparation in all that goes to the making of a man. This is, indeed, in a very vital sense, our war. C. L. BlEDENBACH.
