A HEROIC ENTENTE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

It is another evidence of Harvard's interest in international affairs that the Deutscher Verein has conferred honorary membership upon Captain Paul Koenig, of the submarine merchantman Deutschland, and that the Cercle Francais is this afternoon holding a reception at the Hollis Street Theatre for Mme. Sarah Bernhardt. They are both heroic figures of the war. Captain Koenig brought the first undersea merchant vessel across the ocean in the face of tremendous danger. His is one of the greatest scientific triumphs of all time. Mme. Bernhardt in spite of her age and a severe physical disability, is still the Divine Sarah of half a century past. She is acting in America to help the country she loves. Captain Koenig has risked his life for his Fatherland. The nations they represent are fighting to the death, but heroism is international, and we who are neutral can honor them both.
