LIBRARY RECEIVES DUTCH BOOK On October 8, there appeared on the front page of The Michigan Daily, a story which told of the erection of a Turigsten light in the darkest and most romantic spot in ultra-romantic Felch Park. The story sketched the despair of strolling lovers, the pique of the coy maiden, and the rage of sundry stu- dents. It concluded with a prophecy that the life of the lamp would not be twc. weeks. Thousands of students read that sto- ry and mentally expressed sympathy' for those whom the light drove farther on their path. Perhaps they raised their voices and called down united curses on the foes of Cupid, to whom this outrage was attributed. But they reckoned not that a prophet was amongst them. But a prophet is never appreciated in his native land. Yesterday morning there lay at the base of the twenty foot concrete pole, two halves of a hefty paving brick, besprinkled with shining bits of thin blown glass. At the top of the pole clung several bits of red baked clay, a mute evidence of a collision between brick and concrete, And as for Tung- sten globe-there was none. Last night darkness was the most prominent substance in and about Felch Park. The casual passerby could hear soft voices, and distinguish the rustling of rain coats, but these noises came through a perfect dark- ness. Blessings upon the lover of ro- mance who hurled a well aimed brick! We predict that the light will be re- placed in less than a week-but a prophet is never appreciated in his native land! Captain*Raynsford wired Cap- tam Brickley the sympathydof the Michigan team on Sunday, the text of the message follow- ing:- Captain Charles Brickley, Stillman Infirmary, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. Please accept the sympathy of the University of Michigan foot- ball team in your present troub- le, and our sincere hopes for an early recovery. JAMES W.

Hamburg, Germany. An attempt is being made to have this shipped overland to a neu- tral port from which it can be for- warded to this country. Chemicals and glassware, for use in the scientific laboratories are the sup- plies which the war will affect most, but it is hoped that increased Ameri- can production along these lines will reduce their scarcity to a minimum. Much of the laboratory apparatus us- ed in the past has been imported from Alsace and Lorraine, which are near the center of the hostilities.

The loss of Brickley to Harvard but balances the loss of Craig to Michi- gan. Both were universally chosen as the All-American halfbacks last fall, and the teams without these two stars are more evenly balanced and repre- sentative. Harvard still has a big edge on Michigan in the matter of veterans, as Logan, Mahon and Hadwick are still in Haughton's backfield. Yost, however, has only Hughitt and Galt left, while the latter has not yet play- ed and will probably not be in before the Harvard game at the earliest.

Complaints and rumors have come to Pres. A. T. Ricketts, '15E, of the council, that slates have been framed up by the peanut politicians in some of the classes. Ricketts said -.last night that he thought it a good time to thoroughly thrash out the whole sub- ject, and definitely set limitations to such activities.

THIEME TO POSTPONE I8SUAN(CE OF BOOK Owing to the outbreak of the war in Europe Professor Hugo Thieme of the French department who has been spending the past year in France on a leave of absence, has had to indefinite- ly postpone the issuance of a book which he was preparing on "The His- tory of French Verse." Several por- tions of the manuscript were to have appeared in publications which have been suspended, and practically the work of the, entire year, the greater part of which Professor Thieme spent in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, has been in vain. Professor Thieme and his family' were in Lucerne at the time of the outbreak of the war, and on receiving news of the declaration, they hurried to Basle from whence they entrained for Paris. He describes this trip as having been a harrowing experience, He had to spend 30 consecutive hours on the train with nothin?: but bread BOAT CLUB PLANS FIRST DANCE Eivent to Replace Membership Weekly Saturday Affair Saturday, October 24, has been set as the date for the first boat club dance, at the Michigan Union.
