To the Editors of the CRIMSON:
In the last issue of the Lampoon appears a page of comic drawings entitled "Why Not Have an Iron Cross Too?" by which the famous token of bravery is frivolously placed (thoughtlessly without doubt), in a ridiculous light.
It does not matter whether or not our sympathies are with Germany. We should remember that the Iron Cross is being given to men (young college students like ourselves) who, believing sincerely in the ideals of their country and the justice of their country's cause, are willing to sacrifice their lives in war.
Would not we be willing to do likewise if our country needed us, and would not we think it most ignoble in others to ridicule the symbol of our devotion and heroism?
