War's Blinding
Effects
The Horror of It a recent
publication describing the crip
ples, mutilations, and human
wrecks caused by warfare to
day has caused considerable
comment. It seems that the
attitude of the Army has beeit
peculiarly sentimental in regard
to this publication. Tjhe book
contains pictures and comments
building up a powerful visible
argument against war. The
book strives to strip warfare of
all the glamour and happy bril
liance which people sometimes
attribute to it.
However, as might be ex
pected the war department re
fused to let the publishers use
their files for searching out
pictures. The reason that this
precaution was taken was, the
war department says, because
they saw no reason why the
Gold Star mothers should' be
disillusioned about their now
dead and buried sons. These
mothers visualize their dead
sons lying on the grassy hill
sides of sunny France, a noble
sacrifice in the cause of demo
cracy. Should a booK appear
showing that these noble sons
, wexe tnany times practically un
recognizable, mangled, crushed
these poor mothers would suffer
from the shock. So in the name
? of humanity the war department
disaDTDroves of showing the
naked facts of war.
Little more could be expected
of course, from the headquar
: ters that hungrily wait for wars
so that their admirals and
brigadiers can get into action
and justify in part their salar
ies. But the disappointing fea
ture of this interest in the new
book is that the disapproval
which will be showered upon the
book as "pacifist propaganda"
will not be confined to the
strictly military circles but will
be voiced by thousands of peo
ple who are unwilling to be con
vinced that War is beastly and
unjustifiable.
There is something" patheti
cally funny about men and wo
men who shun the facts of war
fare, become inoculated by the
germ of military enthusiasm,
and suffering from the fever of
emotionalism send their sons to
be torn, by shrapnel and felled
by soft-nose bullets. War should
be, like cancer and the black
plague loathed and feared,
something which every scien-
ist, economist, politician, and
citizen should strive to destroy.

There seems to have been a !
new and interesting game de
veloped here in the last year, i
The game is simple. and can be
ilayed any time. It is most
popular between classes. -The
object seems to be to get from
one class to another without
stepping on the walks. The haz
ards are rather great due to
the great number of walks and
he intricate design they form
on tne campus, ine game is
both interesting and beneficial.
It's great sport devising new
ways of approach to classes.
One of thexbest methods so far
found for illiminating hazards
is to follow closely one of the
formerly used walks. The game
cutsdown distances on the aver
age' of from five to ten feet.
Further, it minimizes the . un
pleasantness of walking on the
hard packed walks. The springy
turf -is a sure preventative for
blisters, particularly after rains.
Seriously, the way ' the stu
dents are ruining the lawns is
indicative of a very childish at
titude. In grammar school the
children are punished for over
running tne. grounds. Mere,
thpre is no way of punishing the
offenders, so the kids walk
where they please regardless.
To be thoughtless in a case of
this kind would necessitate the
absence of a thinking apparatus,
since the numerous walks are a
constant reminder that where
the student should walk has
been carefully planned.
In a sense, the overrunning of
the campus shows a lack of pride
in the institution. When a per
son is proud of a thing, he wants
it to look its best. There is no
way possible to keep the lawn
decent looking the way it is
being cut up now, even if the
appropriation for the mainten
ance was not at its minimum.
The t most important fact,
however, is the unco-operative
spirit of part, of the student
body that this "short cutting"
shows up. These students
wouldn't cut across private
lawns for fear of offending the
owner. They would protect
their own lawns. But, when a
place is owned by the group and
no one person has the responsi
bility of keeping them ,off, they
are not willing to cooperate and
protect the common interest at
the expense of a very little ad
ditional personal effort. Per
haps the offense seems very
small from which to draw such
conclusions, but the attitudes on
small things are indicative of at
titudes on larger, more import
ant things. H.H.

THE DAILY
EPITAPHIANA
- Chapel Hill like that loveliest
village of the plain sweet Au
burnis during spring vacation
a village deserted. Its charms,
if the members of the student
body can be so characterized, are
fled, and desolation stalks across
the village green. Familiar
buildings become cold and for
bidding. Footpaths are vacant.
Seldom even are professorial
characters to be seen flitting
absent-mindedly about the cam
pus. Snow flurries sweep
through the leafless branches of
tall trees. A pall of gloom en
shrouds the place as a dense fog
engulfs a seaport town. Amid
it all I wandered lonely as a
cloud. I remembered Poe's con
ception of that which is poetic
in the superlative degree. I re
membered that the melancholy
mood in English poetry became
so popular that a veritable
graveyard school of poets arose
culminating in Gray whose
Elegy in a Country Church
yard" is still deemed suitable
memory work for children who
are "kept in" after school as
punishment for petty misde
meanors. -
The shades of night were fall
ing fast as I wended my way to
the local cemetery. Something
there is cheerful about old epi
taphs. In days gone by the dear
departed were subjects for ful
some enconiums1 and poetic su
perfluities which appear lu
dicrous now. There is in old
Jamestown (N. .C.) an inscrip
tion carved by a bereaved hus
band on his wife's tombstone
which was recently immortalized
by Ripley. Desirous of having
his wife rest in peace but lack
ing space to say it that way, the
husband chiseled Let her RIP.
And then there is the time-hon
ored inscription of a lamenting
husband for his wife:
She could not stay; she had
.to go;
Praise God from whom all
blessings flow.
Equally well-known is the Earl
of Rochester's epitaphian effu
sion on the "mutton-eating King
Charles." The sight of the
wind-swept and vacant tennis
courts was too much for me.
None there was to follow the
bouncing ball, and at any mo
ment I expected to see a quartet
of skeletons lead the wall and
dance around - in their bones
Whistling aloud to bear my cour
age up, I retraced ray steps in
i
the direction of the library
where I procured a copy of Epi
taphiana which makes excellent
reading before a crackling fire.
It was even possible back jn
the good old days, or so it would
appear, for a person to have his
tombstone raised up where his
body was not. To wit:
Here lies therbody of JOHN
MOUND,
Lost qt sea and never found.

Soviet Menace
For America
How far are we from a "Socialist
Soviet Republic" in America? A fair
question is it not? Perhaps, it may
seem absurd to you. Nevertheless, if
you are a thinker, it is an absurdity
worthy of your most careful consid
eration. ...
Belief in God is part of the law of
the United States. "Many of our best
civil and social institutions, and the
most important to be preserved in a
free and civilized state, are founded
upon the Christian religion, or upheld
and strengthened by its obser
vance. ...
Sovietism, i.e., practical Socialism
is godless. Engels, in "Socialism,
Utopian and Scientific,' says : "In our
evolutionary conception of the Uni
verse, there is absolutely no room for
either a Creator, or a Ruler. . .
If unbelief in God is so essential to
the development of a Socialistic State,
it is evident that where such, unbelief
already exists, there is found a con
dition under which' that State can be
established with least difficulty. This
condition is being prepared for us in
our own United States of America
today. ...
According to A.P. despatch date
lined Durham, N. C, March 9, "Sen
ator Cameron Morrison tonight told
members of the N. C. Society of
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion," that "communism and class
domination" are "the two greatest
dangers facing the United States to
day." "Communists are assailing the
precepts of our government today
with a vehemence that is startling, he
said."
Aside from political campaigns,
Socialists, with unquestioned zeal and
loyalty to their doctrines, have made
dangerous advances of- a more per
manent nature. Those of us who es
timate the strength of - Socialism in
America chiefly by votes polled for
Socialist nominees are greatly mis
guiding themselves. . . .
