SOLDIERS' FIELD

When the strains of martial music from a regular Army band are wafted over Soldiers Field tomorrow in the University's first large Military Review, the bugle notes will sound a striking contrast to the much more frequent anti-war exhibitions. For by this display of the Harvard R.O.T. C., the Field Artillery second lieutenants will show the University that there are at least some students who are as unafraid to show off their belief in preparedness as the peace strikers were to bemoan this preparedness.

It seems obvious that in a large University which represents a fairly good cross-section of every type of persons and ideals there can exist war-minded men and peace-minded men. The militarists will attract no such large gathering as the pacifists, as was proved by the small gathering of the Boston mass meeting in Fenway Park two days ago.

If 200 students, wish to put on a show, however, with all the fanfare of martial music, banners, guns, and sabres, they have an indisputable right to do so.
