Men cannot live together in the close con- tact of the service of war time without realizing the worth of, their fellows The men who have suffered, fought apd died for their country will have a new conception of the meaning of democracy. Those Who Remain at Home. While «iose of us whose Iot it is to remain at home to keep our nor- 1% with the attendant burden of war may nc be able to share these experiences to d#n equaal extent with our feliows in the field, we can sever- theless appreciate the same truth in a different way, Our country's call im its*time of need opens the eves of all of us to (J r interdependence upon one another and to be the dependience of our national government upon us as an individual. And so during the days of this week when our country Is-calling upon each one of us to subscribe for hie part of the second Liberty Loan, we all must realize that no one man, and no oné ciass or group of men ¢an meet the need. Aside from the appeal which this loan makes as a sound and profitable business proposi- tion. there is the further appeal of patriotism. . A prompt and tremend- ous oversubseription té this loan will Bé the quickest means of cenvincing Germa that .our people are behind the government in this war as a unit. It will be vital in its effect upon the morale of Germany, but more than ;| this, it will furnish the recessaary ma- terial promptly which means the sav- ing of so many American lives at the front.

M. B. D., president of the Connecticut College for Women. Pres- ident Marshall, who spoke on Thrift As It WAIl Apply to the United tSates After the World War, was greeted with applause. He delivered an in- teresting and forceful address, bring- ing out many new thoughts of the conditions that will confront the United .States at the completion - of this gigantic struggle. The speaker paid a high tribute to ex-President Sykes, saying that he was a man of great foresight and had seen far into the future of the Connecticut College. President Marshall said in par War is not wholly a bad thing. There are some immensely valuable by-products, not least of which are habits of mind and action induced by and worthy of con- serving when war ie done. There are many such, but American people need tc lay emphasis upon these habits— torift, holding within it the idea of money saving, personal and domestic economies, all sorts of conservation of material and funds, and especially, a.sl 2 guiding and inspiring thrift, a worthy sense of values. War imposes upon ail the habit of industry—this is marked, of course, in our mills and factories and manufacturing plants, running so many of them on 24-hour schedules, byt it also reached to homes and community organizations, until under the stress of war, every human per- son who can create and construct and contribute of effort, time and skiil, may be emploved. . There is na justic fication for the loafer or the slacker ic_a time of war. The third habit which war induces i§ co-operatioss~ this especially should be promoted in a democracy where individualism easily rampant—individualism. than | which no theory or policy or practice | is at once so inviting in prospect and so sterile in result.
