department to battle for over an
hour and which, in spite of their
activity, caused over $1500 dam
age. Fortunately the village de
partment is bothered with few
fires of any. serious consequence.
Such a thing is quite remarkable
in a town filled with so many
buildings of ancient origin.' The
department is composed of only
two-paid firemen who are on duty
at all times and 18 voluntary
firemen whose job it is to join the
regular force at the scene of the
fire. 5
Everything seemed to go
wrog; on Monday night. In the
first place the wrong alarm was
rung and a number of voluntary
fire fighters rushed out toward
Gimghoul castle before they dis
covered their mistake.
Spectators at the actual burn
ing house saw the scanty crew
on hand beset with difficulties
which included a hose nozzle that
insisted on riding the stream of
water, an axe which tried to hide
in the house, and burning embers
that ceased to glow until the of
ficial fire truck had rolled -away
back to the station.
In addition the police depart
ment almost succeeded in allow
ing the furniture rescued from
the flames to remain in the open
yard all night without any sort
of protection. However, a
thoughtful group . of students,
friends of Mrs. Southerland,
elected themselves guardians and
posted sentries on the scene
throughout the remainder of the
night.
The fire Monday night on
Cameron avenue wa3 not as se
rious as it might have been. But
we dread the thought of what
might happen if one of our major
village buildings was threatened

DUKE MEN
Lads From Durham
Are Good Pushers
Cooperation between groups
is a fine thing on paper and
across the banquet table, but if
the spirit of friendly rivalry can
not be carried into the realm of
practicality and applied to the
actions of all concerned, 'all goes
for naught.
Such is the case with coopera
tion, friendly rivalry, mutual
understanding, and kindred -relations
between Duke and North
Carolina universities.
Just about everyone was high
ly skeptical when student lead
ers of both institutions banquet
ed the other night and decided
that rowdy rivalry was a thing
of the past. But just a night or
two ago an incident occurred
which, apparently insignificant
though it might be, reassures us
that this cooperation business is,
after all, fact and not fancy.
A Carolina student's automo
bile motor would not start as he
attempted to leave the Duke
campus. In the midst of the dif
ficulty, the Duke bus stopped and
five Duke students climbed out
and helped him push the car
(which incidentally, was plast
ered with Carolina stickers).
We are confident Carolina men
would have performed the same
courteous service. This spirit is
an indication of a returning stu
dent sanity on the part of all.
May it continue.
Men, you can cease worrying.

In the November 1 issue of THE
NEW REPUBLIC, Washington Notes
carries a very illuminating discussion
of our present armament diiemna. Be-
cause it is a fairly obscure article m a
magazine too obscure on this campus,
I am devoting this column to a discus-
sin of it.
The article calls attention to the
generally publicized fact that our pres-j
are busy filling the heavy advance or-1
Iders of England and France. "Were
there any likelihood, of this happen
ing." the expert added, "the Allies
would send propagandists to try to
keep us out of war."
There are convincing . statistics
which conclude that we are far behind
in the production of such things as
rifles and tanks, and will be, in a nor
mal course of present emergency pro
duction, as late as 1941.
; These are the general agreeing j
opinions which most of us have seen be
fore, and which have become the im
mature springboards for half-baked
harrangues about preparedness. The
worth of these Washington Notes is
found in the writer's shrewd interpre
tation of the situation. . Arid in the
smelling out of a danger too subtle for
most of us to scent.
The article points out that our
chances of staying out of active fight
ing are perilously dependent upon the
ratio of allied troops in the field and
the; amount of arms that are being
produced for immediate consumption.
Germany, with the totalitarian ,effi-
ciency which makes trains run on
time and pulls in its belly with a false-!
ly smooth war economy, achieves an j

almost perfect ratio here. But England
and France do not have it. vThiis their
dependence upon American factories
for the manufacture of certain arms.
And for the next year of two, whether
or not the United States declares war,
the - high allied command will want
arms and not men from us. This
would be a fairly comfortable posi
tion if the situation did not have ram-
mification and the element of unpre
dictability that fogs the headlights of
a war. ' :- : ,
For, as the writer points out, the
same situation was evident in the first
part of the last war. For two years
industry rubbed its hands and broke
its back trying to meet the demand
for arms. But in 1916 when the de
mand was passed, and an overabun
dance of armaments began to accumu
late, "the pressure of the Allies upon
Mr. Wilson began." When, late in 1917,
American soldiers went to France, they
went tor consume Allied munitions.
There is a possibility that the Allies
shall only require- the . mechanical in
struments of war, from us. But if,
along with all of the currently un
regulated industry, we do not tedious
ly watch out for surpluses in interna
tional armaments, we had better
watch out. If there are more guns
than there are soldiers to use them
a crisis now only in the speculative
stage there is going to be powerful
propaganda. And it is going to be
sponsored by circles very close to those
most sanctimoniously and preciously
official. , Y.
Here is something for our more
loosely informed prophets of boundless
"preparation" to think about. While
the thinking is good.
In the early days at the University
of Arkansas, carrying concealed wea
pons was such a common practice that j
the faculty found it necessary to make
a special ruling to force the students I
to leave their shootin' irons at home.

York has the largest ROTC volun

iDear Sir:
I am wondering if you will be good
enough to make a correction for me.
In your recent article on the results
of the tuberculosis clinic at the Health
Service you stated that there were
eight active cases of tuberculosis. The
prepared statements for the paper
read "eight cases of adult type of tu
berculosis." This statement was in
tended to differentiate this group
from those who showed the childhood
type of tuberculosis.
A statement that there were eight
active cases of tuberculosis in the stu
dent body has caused considerable
amount of consternation. I shall be
very grateful if you will correct this,
and add further that of this group of
eight cases svho showed the adult
type of tuberculosis, all are inactive,
! that it is safe for them to continue
in school; and that those people who
come in contact with any of this group
are safe.
