PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Tuesday, May 13, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published for the period of the war four times a week─Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday─by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City Member Iowa College Press Entered as second class matter at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Subscription Rate $2.00 per year BOARD OF TRUSTEES C. H. Weller, chairman, Gretchen Kane, secretary, E. M. McEwen, E. S. Smith, Alice E. Hinkley, M. Elizabeth Hendee, Mary Anderson EDITORIAL STAFF MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office Hours─8-12; 1-6 daily, Room 14, L. A. Building Rowena Wellman─Managing Editor Associate Editor Ralph E. Overholser News Editor Eileen Galvin Exchange Editor Nancy Lamb Humorous Editor M. Elizabeth Hendee Sports Editor Leon H. Brigham BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM─Business manager Edward Chamberlain─Advertising Mgr. Telephone 935; Office Hours─3-5 daily, 103 Iowa Ave "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day came." ─Lincoln. Night Editor Elsie Katz WILL GERMANY SIGN? Three courses are now open to the German government. It can sign the peace terms with the Allies, refuse them or refer them to the people of Germany. German leaders feel that at the present time because of the food situation and the terror of Bolshevism the people would gladly sign the terms; however, these leaders seem to think that it would not be right to let the people sign their own death warrant. A plebiscite is unlikely. Indications now point to the likelihood of Germany acquiescing to the Allies' demands. Men who are close to the conditions in the German states feel that the Ebert government would prefer to affix its signature to the treaty and then run the chance of being discredited by the people. Then the government could go down with flying colors; it would have assumed the responsibility, would resign, and opportunity would be given for the people to renounce the terms within the course of two or three years. Although harsh to some, and but just to others, the terms are only what the victors could ask. Germany still has all the qualities that made her a world power before the war. She has a home-loving, industrious, hardy people. Because of the possibilities of a rapid come-back after this war, England, in particular, and the allies have felt that the burden must be a heavy one; otherwise, within a comparatively few years the Huns would again be over-running Europe fired by the desire to build a new military world power. Some German leaders have denounced the terms; others say that they do not believe they should sign what they know to be an impossibility. But after all, what can Ebert and his advisors do? They can offer counter proposals. But in the end, because of the admitted impotency of German arms, there is little they can do but meet the conditions imposed by the Allies. WHAT OTHERS THINK To The Editor: I wish to correct a statement which appeared in a recent issue of your paper. I was quoted as saying that I was impressed by "the respect shown lady psychologists here." As my country is the first in the world to give women all possible rights, I am perfectly used to seeing the gentler sex get as much respect and credit in science as their masculine counterpart of humanity. What I did say was that I was impressed by the originality of mind, which must be behind the equipment of the psychological laboratory of this University. In this connection I dropped the remark that I was also personally impressed by the unusual personality of a lady psychologist, like Dr. Mable C. Williams, who not only has found time for genuine contributions to her science, but also handles with equal ease, the theory of it, the mechanical tools and apparative applied, the big classes, the graduate students, etc., etc. Yours very truly, MARTIN L. REYMERT. EXCUSE US, PLEASE The name of Ophelia Miller, nominated for Staff and Circle, subject to the election today, was inadvertently omitted in the list given in Sunday's issue of The Iowan. LIEUT. NORVIN SMITH HONORED BY FRANCE Wins Croix de Guerre with Palm as Result of Bravery─Seriously Wounded Lieut. Norvin E. Smith, a graduate of the law school in 1917, has recently be awarded the croix de guerre with palm, for bravery and service in France. This is the highest order of the croix de guerre, and is the only one of this order ever given to an Iowa man. The palm signifies that he is mentioned in the general orders of the French army. His citation reads as follows: "An extremely energetic and brave officer. During the operations from July 19 to 22, 1918, he often crossed a zone under artillery and machine gun fire in order to assure liaison between his unit and an infantry battalion. He carried out his mission with a high sense of duty and on this occasion rendered particularly excellent service. Reorganized decimated groups and led them to the attack. Was seriously wounded but refused to be transferred to the rear before the operations were completed. Wounded again November 4, 1918, during a violent combat in which he displayed great judgment, courage and initiative." Lieutenant Smith went to the first training school at Fort Snelling, where he received his commission. He went across in August and was attached for a time to the British army, making a particular study of the use of flame and gas. Later he was attached to the first American division as a lieutenant of machine gunners. He participated in every important engagement in which the Americans were an important factor, was wounded three times, twice very seriously. Last November he returned to the United States and was discharged after spending several weeks in army hospitals. Lieut. Smith's home is in Kilbourne, Iowa, but at present he is with the sales department of the Curtis publishing company in Philadelphia. He was an A. T. O. while attending school here. He has recently received word that he is to be promoted to captaincy in the reserve. About commencement time he expects to make a visit to Iowa City. COMMERCE CLUB BANQUETS Commerce club will hold a banquet at the Commercial club rooms tonight at 6:30. A hundred tickets have been sold to both men and women students of the University. Speakers on the toast program are President W. A. Jessup, Dr. P. S. Peirce, Luther Erickson, president of the club, J. L.
