You have paraded the streets, in the exuberance of joy. And, we hope, you have gone down upon your knees in gratitude that no longer does the flower of our manhood stand in constant danger of annihilation. So much you have done. But have you followed your thanksgiving with a thank offering. Express your joy in real terms. Show your appreciation of the sacrifices of the war workers by a sacrifice of your own. Give to the united war work campaign. Give, give until you have expressed that poignant sense of rejoicing and thankfulness. And instead of a burnt offering, present a gift from the bottom of your heart, which will mean all the more that you have sacrificed. GIFTS FROM THE FAR EAST The Japanese are contributing to the American United War Work Campaign. The extreme worthiness of the cause has brought the people of a foreign nation unsolicited to give of their money. Recognition of the true worth of the army welfare work can be the only motive to prompt them, for our campaign is carried on chiefly by religious organizations and the religion of our nation is not the religion of Japan. A SOCIAL CRIME Were soldiers at the University the only offenders, a common campus practice should be made a court martial offense. Since it is indulged in by civil as well as military persons perhaps hanging would be a punishment stringent enough to prevent a second offense. In this high crime afainst the state and institution of higher education, "Iowa University," or more atrocious still, "Iowa City University." By due process of law this great school was christened the State University of Iowa. It is altogether permissible and respectful and intlligent to speak of the institution as the University of Iowa or, in relation to other universities and colleges, Iowa. But the barbarism which allows student to mutilate the grand old name into Iowa University or that other unspeakable epithet should be punished without leniency. Germany's greatest work of art is the final bust of the Kaiser--Brooklyn Eagle. [2nd column] SOLDIERS' LETTERS Winchester, Eng. "After reading the censor's orders, I am convinced that I can write but about two paragraphs. First, I am here; Second, I am well. ........I shall never laugh at this sea sickness business again. Every joke cracked about it is true, absolutely. If you will look on page 349 of Sept. 5th Life, you will find a picture that expresses it much better than I ever could. My diary during the trip runs like this: I am sick, I am sicker, etc. I heard a man ask the Lord to please call the sea to attention, and most of them have vowed that, if the Statue of Liberty wants to see them again,s he will have to "Boutface." England is simply wonderful. I didn't think such a country could exist out of books. The wonderful hedges, roads quaint old houses and farms are so toy like and beautiful that it is hard to believe them real. It is all like a dream and I expect to wake up any time with Camp Cody dust blowing in my face. It's funny to see us buy things, we simply pull out a a handfull of coins and the clerks help themselves. They could give me change in anything but Mexican money and I would take it and ask no questions. One of the men refused change for a dollar bill because he said the stuff was no good to him since he didn't know what it was worth. It's no wonder that these people think us queer. I have developed a huge respect for the English people. While we could put their whole railroad system on one of our big ore trains, and although their horse drawn vehicles are nothing but sea going hacks, and they talk so that no one can understand them, they never let on that they've been in a devilish mess for all this time, and they seem just as solid and confident as their own Gibralter, if a rock can be confident. An Englishman isn't a human being, he's an institution and realizes it. They are all so dignified that I want to poke em in the ribs. Nobody speaks or smiles at anybody else, us at least, merely a short look and then they go on about their business. Old Alfred and the rest of the Saxon kings played around here you know, and Caesar camped about two miles out of town. I saw the place yesterday and admire his judgment. It was so beautiful that I would like to camp there myself. I think I shall attend Oxford for a while after the war for I'm not coming home until they build a bridge across that ocean. Lieut. Edgar J. Goodrich, Hdqts. 59th F. A. Brigade, A. E. F. MEN HAVE EXAMINATIONS Forty-seven men will go to Chicago for air-service examinations. The men who have already left are Robert S. Harvey, Ross T. Waddell, Frank M. Valentine, and Raymond Wehrman. SCHROEDER TO PRINCETON E. G. Schroeder, director of physical education for men, was chosen to represent the state of Iowa at a short course for army physical work given at Princeton university. One physical training director from each state is selected to take the course. The course is really an institute for instructors of physical education at universities and schools where S. A. T. C. units are established. Mr. Schroeder will return in three weeks. NURSE INSTEAD OF GRID STAR "Waddie" Davis' wife has presented him with a daughter, Emma Louise, to wear the football togs and overalls "Waddie" had provided. The former captain has become reconciled and says Emma Louise shall be a Red Cross nurse. [3rd column] BELGIAN NURSE TELLS OF HER WORK ABROAD Experience in Field Hospital and Retreat of Belgian Refugees Vividly Pictured Marie van Gastel, former Belgian nurse and refugee, spoke before a large audience at the University auditorium last night.She told of her experiences in a front line field hospital. She pictured the retreat from Antwerp to Bruges where everyone expected to stay until the end of the war. Many people had believed that the well fortified city of Antwerp would not fall. The same idea was held of the impregnability of Bruges until it fell and its population fled to Ostend and then to England. Miss van Gastel belonged to field hospital number 47. At one time she had as many as eighty wounded to care for without assistance. During one terrible battle of four days 5,000 cases were brought to one small hospital with its pitifully small force of four nurses and one surgeon general. Sometimes fifty operations were performed daily by this one man. More than one third of these wounded men were suffering from barbarous dum-dum bullets. It is considered practically impossible to heal a wound made by one of these missiles. A number of times the speaker repeated, "Belgium would rather die than live without honor." At the conclusion of her speech she gave word pictures of the torturing nightmare through which Belgium had passed, and explained it all in one line: "the Hun has passed here." A cousin, who is a priest in this country induced her to leave England and come here. For some time she taught French in Dallas, Tex., and later at the university of California. Later she began lecturing and at one time five thousand people were turned away because there was no room for them. Government representatives had her released from her contract that she might talk in behalf of the Liberty Loan and War Relief organizations. Miss van Gastel is planning to go home to Antwerp where she hopes to find her family waiting for her. Carlton College has established a nurses' training course, which will commence December 30. The university of Nebraska has fitted up a woman's hall. In spite of the influenza epidemic, the law school at Harvard Univercity has continued its regular scholastic activities. Chapel exercises at Cornell college last Monday morning were dedicated to the S. A. T. C. men. In place of the regular hymn, the men sang. "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning." Red Cross activities at Grinnell college have been divided into three which will care for emergency calls; which will care for emergency calls; the knitting department; and the refugee department. The University of Minnesota is to have two invalided French soldiers among its students this year. The men, who have been brought by the American Council of Education, will wear French uniforms. MILITARY CHANGES Lieut. W. H. DeButts is at the head of the personnel department at presena. Lieut. Rollin M. Perkins, former adjutant of the department left Monday for San Diego, Cal., where he will have charge of similar work. Lieut. Perkins was accompanied by his wife and baby. A moving picture show for the S. A. T. C. will be given Saturday evening at the Y. M. C. A. There will be no program Sunday afternoon. [4th column] ADVERTISED LETTERS MEN Bond, Fred Burr, Manford W.
