C' 5 , ' t ,E L : Y Clarence, Ehr le DEDICATION. VVe have struggled through all the obstacles which have beset our path and finally have reached the end ot' our labors. But why do we say the obstacles which have beset our path A? Indeed many and many a hindrance and setback has fallen to the share ot' the Language Department. lt is a. department which in general is given too little attention by the student body. At times the lack of support was very discouraging, but we Thought. it was because the students did not understand the true value of language. The worth and importance ot language cannot be overestimated. Especially in these trying times of war, preparations should be made for the period of reconstruction that must inevitably Follow when French, Spanish, Russian, ltalian, even German and the basic Latin language. all will become of more vital importance than they ever were before. lt may he profitable for the citizens of tomorrow to prepare themselves for this crisis, this in- evitable demand i'or men and women who can speak at least one language besides their own. We, the editors of the Language pages. do sincerely hope that next semester will find this department surpassed by no other, and We take great pleasure in dedicating this department to those who are fortunate or unfortunate enough to follow in our footsteps. ROME AND THE UNITED STATES. Rome, the United States of the early ages. was pressed on the north by the Cimbri and Tentons, the present-day Huns, or Germans. VVhen the pressure became too great. Julius Faesar hastened to Gaul to subjugate the barbarians in their own territory. Similarly, We must hasten to France to subjugate the 'l'eutons lest they cause a Eighty-six

Allowance must, however, be made for the nature of the class and for the number of active members. One society has as few as six or seven members, while there are several which have nearly forty.

Caesar was of the opinion that it was more favorable to fight the Teutons in their own land. Likewise we must realize that the Kaiser and forces must be dealt with in their own or in the immediate vicinity of their own strongholds, before they have an opportunity to come to our doors. f We find the Kaiser in the German, Ariovistus. Treacherously he led Caesar into a peace conference, only to turn around and order his cavalry to attack Caesar 's at the conference. Just so, the Kaiser has tried to induce the Allies to come to a peace conference and to talk peace, when he knew he was opposed to peace. But we must not let the present Ariovistus trick us as the ancient Ariovistus did Caesar. We must be alert and ready to offer peace only when Kaiserism has been completely ruined. Again the Romans defeated Mithridates but let him slip away with his life. In a few years Mithridates was again heard from. Again he attacked Rome and, though he was' defeated he kept intact his spirit of world empire. Though we defeat the Kaiser We must not be satisfied until we have him securely placed behind the bars of Democracy, Where never again he may be able to stir up the law- abiding peoples of peaceful countries. Experience has taught us a lesson and though the Romans were negligent, our country will not be so. ' THE LANGUAGE OF THE TRENCHES. Much has been written about the hardships, the suffering and the glory of the boys in the trenches. But not so much has there been said about the funny, provincial, original twists of speech which the English, especially indulge in. To our inexperienced and unsuspect- ing Sammy their quaint expressions may have seemed laughable, but no more so than our own American slang seems funny to them. While woman is fickle and invariably so, listen to this Tommy H just inn: Of course I ain't sayin' war's pleasant, far from it. There 's the route marches, and the everlastin' salutin', and the bully beef, and the bumps on the ground at night. But there 's compensations. Take my case. I had three sisters all learning the piano at once, and all of 'em dubs at it. Yeah, it could be worse. Pass the cake. kid. An- other, relating his experiences the day before, said: When the time came to go in to dinner, a lady servant with awful nice feet looked in the door and said: 'Madam, eh surry.' She looked right at me, too, and though I didn 't savvy, I winked back. But nothing happened. Aunty just said, 'Mercy' CMerciD, and we all fell in. She's dinkum fthe real thingb she is-dinkurn as they make 'em. Listen to another Cthey are procured through the cour- tesy of Miss Coreyj : Hi in 't never mide no speech before. Hi in't.
