THe Sau or ru Danish West Inputs to the 
United States Government is progressing, but not without 
ypposition both in America and in Denmark. In Amer- 
_ the realm. Whether the influence of public opinion is 
‘strong enough to influence the members remains to be 
seen. The concession of all of our interests in Greenland 
is regarded as important and may save the issue. Most 
_ Americans have no vital interest in the purchase. If 
islands are purchased and if they become a part of the 
United States territorial possessions they will be an aid 
to the Naval department both in time of peace and in the 
event of war. 
Tue Arr-Crarr Art Now SEen in flight almost daily 
either from Marblehead or from the island station off the 
Beverly shore. These graceful birds made by man appear 
equally at home upon the water and in the air. They 
are the cynosure of all eyes. It makes a difference, how- 
ever, whether such craft are bent upon friendly errands 
or whether they are hostile craft seeking an opportunity 
to drop fire and: shells. 
5 Tuer Governor Has at Last cleared up the Boston 
Police Commission tangle by the appointment of a suc- 
cessor to the chairman recently resigned. It is now evi- 
dent that the gentleman who has accepted the appointment 
is a man of parts and principles and, however one may 
feel about the policy the Governor has worked out, the 
last appointment is above criticism. 
Tue CAMPAIGN For THE PRESIDENCY of the United 
States is now on again. President Wilson and Candidate 
_ Hughes have announced their programs and the first 
guns have been fired. If the continuance of the cam- 
paign is as tame as its beginning the next three months 
will not be over-exciting. 
New Method of 
BEING a constant reader of your weekly paper, I take 
great pleasure in submitting this article entitled, “Let 
Us,” for your approval and, if found worthy of your con- 
sideration, ask that it be given publicity. 
Let us form a league throughout the world, the main 
object to be to prevent future wars like the present. 
; Let us interest the people of all nations to belong and 
honor membership in this society. 
Let us co-operate with all classes, rich and poor alike, 
in eliminating the constant dread of war with its terrible 
suffering and plant a seed of lasting peace in the breast 
of mankind. The thousands upon thousands of cripples, 
the toll of the present struggle, would be very efficacious 
in inducing men to enlist in this new fighting army against 
ar. 
4 Let us fight war as we fight White Plague and just 
as cleanliness and fresh air kills the former destructive 
germ, so will the destructive germ of war be killed with 
the preventive methods used by this powerful organiza- 
ion.

Tur Contece Boys or Barrery A have some sense 
of justice and a real spirit of democracy. According to 
the rulings of the department they are at liberty to re- 
turn home in time to take up their studies in Boston. 
They have, however, unanimously agreed to stay by the 
colors. This action on their part is characteristic and 
while there are young men at the front with that spirit 
America may not entertain fears for the future. ‘There 
is much to be said in favor of preparedness, but the vital 
spark of life is the loyal spirit of the young men who 
make up the ranks of our life. When patriotism exists 
a nation is secure. 
Tue MALpen Yourn who sought adventure at the 
very front has had all that he wishes of adventure, thril- 
ling experience and fear. He is ready now to settle down 
and enjoy a life of peace. What a pity he could not have 
learned his lesson a little earlier in life! Military 
service always appears attractive in’ print, but the real 
life itself has but little attraction; it is one of the sad 
duties of life. Military service is a patriotic duty to per- 
form; it is not an experience to be sought for its own 
sake. 
Tue Business Cottece of Boston University has 
been growing very rapidly during the last few years. It 
has already outgrown the limited quarters in the old 
building and is now to have the refitted Walker Building 
of the old Technology group in Boston., Boston has 
needed a school of advanced standing-to give instruction 
in business. It is now evident that that need is being 
supplied and the rapid growth of Boston University is a 
testimony of the vision that the founders of the new 
school had. 
Tuere Has Been A Bumper Hay Crop, despite the 
inclemency of July’s weather: If the summer weather 
now being enjoyed could only have blessed the land dur- 
ing the haying season there is every reason to believe that 
the crop would have been not only a bumper crop, but a 
record breaker. 
A World-Wide League for Peace

of all wars from Caesar’s time to the present, their cause, 
object and results to the government and the people. 
Let us, each and every one of us, be an advocate of 
peace and cast our influence, whether big or small, for 
the cause of peace. 
Let us not be frightened by imperialism and its coer- 
cive methods. 
Let us expel militarism entirely out of the dictionary 
and let the monarchies of Europe, that hold their power 
at the front of bayonets, fall to pieces. 
Upon the killing of his son what right had the Em- 
peror of Austria to call upon his people and force them 
into a war that is going to leave nothing but remains of 
what was once a powerful nation? What possible ex- 
cuse can he give before God and man for his wholesale 
murder of innocents? None! 
Let us impress those Lords of War with the fact 
that God has given no claim upon the lives of his children 
and he who spills the blood of another must suffer and 
pay the penalty with his own blood. 
Let us then never allow a man or body of men to
