''Why didn't Germany win the war?
Because, when England stood with her
back to the wall and France was
pushed to the limit of her endurance,
10,000 American soldiers arriving daily
at the front turned the tide," said
Hamilton Holt, eminent journalist, and
editor of The Independent, in his address on "The Declaration of Independence," in chapel, Armistice Day.
"Never did a doughboy give up one
square foot of French soil on which
he stood and if it was necessary for
him to die he "went West" with his
face turned toward the enemy."
The speaker told of his first visit
to the battjlefronts of Europe, March,
1918, and of the hopeless situation he
"No man knew what
found there.
would result if that allied line should
yield.; Peace would have to be made
at the dictation of Germany. England,
France and Italy were desperate,"
saild he. "Then came American youth,
vigor and initiative. At the crucial
moment the tension snapped, the situation was saved and our armies made
it possible for the world to celebrate
November 11, 1919, as the first anniversary of Armistice Day."
The latter part of his address Mr.
Holt devoted to a brief discussion of
the League of Nations and an amusing and interesting description of the
Peace Conference as he saw it in the
capacity of a Journalist. Vividly he
described the council chamber from
whose sacred precincts of Frenchy
pink upholstering the newspaper men
were carefully barred by heavy,
cords.
This dissertation, though begun in
a light vein, was ended so solemnly
and seriously that a thrill passed
through his hearers as Hamilton Holt
described President Wilson reading of
the League of Nations Covenant. "I
was proud at that moment to be an
American," he declared, "and proud
that Woodrow Wil3on was my President.
"The League simply suggests and
proposes," Mr. Holt continued. "It
neither insists nor commands. Our
young men left their business interests, their farms, colleges, offices and
crossed the ocean that the United
States might stand shoulder to
shoulder with the nations of Europe
in' this world crlBls. God grant that

On to Des Moines! With this slogan,

the University begins its campaign for
the sending of eleven delegates allotted to her for the Eighth Internationa Convention of Student Volunteer Workers, to be held in Des
Moines, Iowa, from December 31, 1919,
to January 5, 1920. The purpose of
the convention is to bring together
representative delegations of students
and professors from all the important
Institutions of higher learning of Canada and the United States and leaders
of Christian
enterprise throughout
the world.
The conventions of the Student Volunteer Movement occur once in a student generation. The last one held in
America was in Kansas City, in 1914,
with 5,031 delegates. Some of the
most eminent speakers and workers of
Christendom will speak at the five
evening sessions at Des Molne3. They
will be selected not because they are
near at hand, but because they are the
men best fitted for the work, and they
will be called from all ends of the
earth if necessary. The program will
Include discu3ions of the moral, social
and religious needs of the world today? immediate-problediscussions in
small groups; and simultaneous conferences on the great missionary fields,
such as China, Japan, India, Africa,
Turkey, etc.
At a joint meeting of the "Y" associations of the University at Patterson Hall, Sunday night, the convention was discussed with special emphasis on the opportunities afforded
both to the delegates and to the University in the inspiration and practical suggestions which the delegates
will receive from contact with other
students and leaders. Ralph W. Owens and Carl Zerfo3s, at this meeting urged the necessity of a careful
selection of the eleven fortunate students, seven boys and seven girls,
who will be sent from the University. The men will select their representatives from the classes; the
girls will be elected at a mass meeting from nominees chosen by a committee consisting of two members of
the Y. W. C. A. cabinet, two from
the Student Government Council, and
two from the associations at large.
Owens and Zerfoss will be delegates
and Dr. McVey will probably
attend as faculty representative.

ON TO DANVILLE.

The jinx was off. Sewanee fell,
The mountain sheep were shorn;
And Vanderbilt went home to tell
Another tale forlorn.
And Just when we were feeling fine,

We met another muss;
For Cincy slipped acros the line
And put the jinx on us.
The jinx is off. Let's hit the trail
And scalp our old tormentor.
The victory's ours do not fail
To put this jinx on Centre.

ears of the University of Kentucky.
(Wildcats this week while behind closed
gates they are undergoing the stiffest
practice of the season. Although the
'Cats are making no boastful state
ments, they are grimly setting their
faces toward Danville in a manner
which bodes ill for the Centre Colonels.
"The dope may be against U3, but
wait until after the game, you may be
surprised," is the statement given out
by wearers of the Blue and White,
and if the Wildcats enter the Centre
game with the crying, fighting spirit
with which they tackled the Vanderbilt Commodores, the conquerors of
West Virginia will receive the surprise of their lives.
Probably the largest crowd that
ever witnessed a football game in
Kentucky will be in the stands at
Danville Saturday, when the rival
elevens will battle for the championship of the State. From present indications, the students of the University
will attend in a body, and it is certain
that a large delegation of Wildcat
rooters from Lexington and Kentucky
alumni from all parts of the State
will also be there.
