A few days ago, we had a very distinguished visitor at the University— Sir Herbert Ames. Versed as he is in world affairs, it was only recently that he had a personal interview with the famous dictator, Adolph Hitler of Germany. In a lecture before the students of the University, he took for his subject: "Conditions in Germany Today". The picture he drew of Germany and the youth of that land was anything but encouraging. He told us that all boys above the age of twelve years are put under heavy drill every day, and are clothed with black shirts, the uniform for the youth as prescribed by the Hitler government. In the public schools, they learn how to give the Nazi sign. By the time the boys are eighteen years of age, they are ready to learn the military tactics of their country. Every boy then is given a musket, and until he is thirty-five years of age, the daily drill teaches him the science of warfare. In this manner, the slogan of the old military leader, Bismarck, is kept alive, which was, "Might makes Right". The youth of Germany are becoming war-minded as never before. During the past hundred years Europe has been steeped in warfare. She has literally been "washed in blood." Today every European nation is preparing for war, except the smaller nations like Holland and Scandinavia.
