Rjshop Sumner sounded a warning to the students and to all all America yesterday when he said that he did not fear for the morale of the United States fighting men and their conduct in the face of danger, but his fears were that the folks at home would fail in their part in the conduct of the war. It is a warning to which we must all give consideration. If we, living principally to ourselves in settled and peaceful com munities where the routine pursuits of life are continuing unin terrupted by the war, persist in closing our eyes and ears to the horrors of the great conflict we are but destroying our own ef ficiency and handicapping our nation. The morale of the nation at home must be equal, if not superior, to that of the men at the front if Uncle Sam’s boys in khaki are to accomplish their pur pose. To be a ‘slacker” one need not openly disgrace himself by peeking to avoid service in the Army or Navy. The ‘slacker” is the man or woman who fails to do this or her part in the con duct of the war—there are food slackers, Liberty Bond slackers, Thrift Stamp slackers, Red Cross slackers, and people of a thou sand other varieties to whom this cutting term that has found a new significance since the beginning of the war can justly be ap plied. It is probable that there is just a little bit of the slacker in each and every one of us, for the thrift and saving rules we have been asked to observe are complex and numerous—too nu . jmerous to be observed strictly by the busy man or woman, un less time is set aside for their consideration. The* key to the efficiency of the United States as a nation lies in the thoroughness with which we make ourselves efficient. There are a thousand and one ways in which we can assist in the prosecution of the war, but what these means are and how they can most effectively be applied by each individual can only be de termined by that individual. If there be no truth in the accusation that the average col lege student is thoughtless of things that do not effect him di rectly within his campus sphere, we have in our conduct during the war an opportunity to demonstrate its falseness. Let every man and every women of Oregon take an inventory of himself, or herself to the end of formulating every action in relation to the personal efficiency of the Nation in the prosecution of the war. Let’s each of us oe a backer for at least one man wearing the khaki of Amer’ca on the battle fronts of Europe. Enlist your self in some service to defeat the Hun. Set watch over your own morale and the morale of our fighting men will care for it self.

Emblem Fine, Says Col. Leader, Colonel Leader says that the posses sion of a banner is an excellent thing for the morale of a company. “The thought," said he, “that the women of the University have devoted their time to this service cannot fail to impress the men with the sacredness of he standard. It is a mark of the esteem in which the battalion is held by these g rls who have been untiring in their efforts to make the flag.” FINEST FLAG, CHAPLAIN SAYS Both Emblems Lauded by Dr. Parkin son, in Introductory Address. Introducing Bishop Sumner to make the address of dedication at the flag ceremonies Wednesday afternoon, Ref. Or. George H. Parkinson, chaplain of the battalion, said: “Gentlemen, Soldiers: We are receiv ing now as a gift from the women of the University, two flags, one our na tional emblem, the finest flag that float beneath the sky, both because of its intrinsic beauty and because of its glori ous symbolism, enhanced now by rea son of the fact :ha; It is lifted up be* side the flags of our heroic allies for no other reason than to secure that in ternational morality which alone can make peace permanent: the other, our regimental colors, second only to the first in <nir affections, because it is our own peculiar property, fashioned for ns hy the hands of those whose honor we hold as devrer than our lives Both of these emblems we will carry into whatever danger duty cabs with that devotion, ecu.age, and chivalry which are the marks of the American soldier and gentleman. “The Right Rev. W T Sumner, nishop of Portland, has consented to consecrate these flags for us '.no to offer a prayer on our behalf. Gentlemen of the bat talion, Bishop Sumner " PAYS BATTALION FINE TRIBITE Mrs. 1-erllnBer Vakes Eloquent Speech at Coot Presentation Mrs C-torge T GerUnger cade the following speech at the presentation of colors yesterday: • it .» with the greatest confidence that we entrust to the care ol the loyal men of the University of Oregon these beautiful colors. They have been wrought by th skilled and devoted hands of the University women. As in all times past, when the sons of man have gone forth to war, and the women have | sent with them the inspiration of their love and their trust, so to you, brave knights of a modern crusade against the powers of darkness, do all of us charge you ever to be mindful of your high calling, and that you endure hard ness as good soldiers of the Lord. “We charge you ever to guard these colors, the emblems of your country ! and your Alma Mater, as sacredly as ! you would your own honor; to bear your part nobly in this and in all conflicts. We charge you to remember that this warfare in which we are engaged is not an evil accident, and that it is not some strange visitation of a capricious higher power; but that it is the inevitable re sult of personal and national selfish ness and materialism; that it is the late and ugly flowering of a seed long ger minating. “But the realization that even the horrors of this war have a definite place in the large providence of God, that Fie will use you and all the noble com pany of University men—you the very flower of American chivalry—to bring about a great free world of friendly on your courage and your arms in the spirits—this remembrance will strength day of conflict. “And when the reign of universal peace shall have come, when the great brotherhood of man, born of common physical and spiritual experiences, shall rejoice in true liberty of the spirit and the bond of perfect freedom, may we all bear a worthy part in the great enterprise of peace, the establishment of •« world democracy."
