FOR AN atmosphere surcharged with neutrality of the I-don't care-who-licks-Germany variety, we recommend the library. Re cently we were attacked with a transient state of bibliomania, and sought solace in the library, where one would naturally suppose the atmosphere would he clear from intolerance, one of the most danger ous germs to the spirit of free intellectualism. Among the new hooks on the war is “The Meaning of the War,” by Henri Bergson, the mastef philosopher of the twentieth century. Bergson attempts to reduce the war to a struggle between life and matter. “Creative Involution” is a much better book. Villa Montmorecy in Paris is an ideal spot for a French phil osopher to contemplate his own mind for ultimates, especially when all’s well in I’'ranee. Henri Bergson has for fifteen years lived in this ideal place, and has given to the world a wonderful philosophy. But France, with the rest of continental Europe, is plunged into war, the greatest war the world has ever seen. And, according to Henri Bergson, war destroys philosophy and creates poetry. “The Meaning of the War” is emperie proof of this as far as Henri Berg son is concerned. For the time being he has forsaken philosophy and has plunged headlong into a pseudo-philosophic-historical prose-poem, which hurls the wrath of France at Germany with the vigor of a thirty-centemeter and the mawkish prejudice of a biased foe. Of course this is neither here nor there. But we wanted to re view the book, and write an editorial at the same time. Here goes the editorial! A library, to our idea, should he the home of impartiality. The University library is full of war hooks which have been written since the war began. Most of them come from England and France, and with a few exceptions all of them are pro-ally. Without considering the justice of either side in the war -for to our idea neither side can be just in a war that is exterminating the race of man—we believe that for an American reader both sides should be placed at his com mand. The United States is ostensibly neutral. There’s so much bad in both causes that one should not gormandize himself on the pre-digested alibis of the one cause only. Besides, we question the value of the contemporaneous literature of the warring countries. What we have read thus far, like llenri Bergson’s “The Meaning of the War,” is supersaturated with a passionate patriotism. i ! 1 I I * CAMPUS NOTES * * -* Some eases of grippe nml a gi ail many colds ami sore throats have appeared on the campus this week.
