A STRAW BALLOT.
The Daily is being deluged with
communications concerning the pro-
posed military training. At nearly
every student meeting the same p rob-
lem is taken up, and in the majority of
cases it seems as though the main
point in issue is being overlooked.
The board of regents will meet
Wednesday, December 1, to consider
the resolution sent up to them by the
faculty. The point that they must de-
cide is really the one that interests us
at the present, and this is whether or
not it is advisable to install military
training in the University, and not as
to how the system is to be worked out.
We are prone now to consider the ways
and means of applying the system, but
this is a question to be reserved for a
later stage.
If the regents can be convinced that
compulsory training is a thing that
should be provided for Michigan stud-
ents, then they cannot alowa them-
selves to be held back because the
ways and means of treating the prb-
lem do not readily present themselves.
If, on the other hand, they are satis-
fied that- Michigan does not want com-
pulsory training, then a simple way
out of the situation is seen.
To help the regents ascertain the
opinion of the undergraduates onthis
one point it is planned to take a straw
ballot the latter part of next week,
putting before the voters the one i-
sue outlined above.
CRAFTSMtEN CLUB INITIATES
NEW MEN AT RECENT MEETING
Twelve members were initiated in-
to the Craftsmen club at the meeting
of the organization Saturday night.
Rev. Courtland Miller gave an inter-
esting address. A musical program
was furnished by Howard Finste-
maker and Melville F. Smith.
Paul E. Gibson was elected to the
office of 1st vice-president. John G.
Mead, '17P, was appointed in charge
of the Craftsmen team, filling the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Harold A. Mills.
An informal meeting will be held
Saturday night.
TREASON OR MILITAISM ?
CORRESPONDENT HAS DIFFERENT
CONCEPTION OF DUTY TO THE
STATE.
Editor The Michigan Daily:-
In The Daily of Nov. 20, Mr. Thei:s
took occasion to remark that those o
us who oppose military training at
Michigan and the imposition of a gen-
eral military system in this country
are traitors, men without a country,
and guilty of high treason.
Indeed! High sounding words those
and worthy of analysis.
Few will deny that the individual
owes a duty to the state, but as to
what constitutes that duty there are
differences of opinion, and because I do
not believe a man's first duty to his
state is military service, is absolutely
no reason why I am to be branded as
a traitor. There are men in this Uni-
versity who are fitting themselves to
serve the state in the larger sense; for
the battles of peace are always greater
than those of war. Who will say that
? the student who is preparing to be-
come an engineer, a doctor, a lawyer,
or fitting himself in a general way for
service to mankind is not preparing
to render a greater service to his state
than the West Point man? The latter
is chiefly taught, as a future militarist
the destruction of life and how to
bring about destruction in the most
scientific manner while the former will
devote his energies to constructive
service.
Again, we are called unpatriotic, and
Professor Hobbs at Wednesday night's
meeting of the Forum said he was
ashamed of the un-American spirit
shown by the speakers who spoke
against military training; but it seems
to me that Professor Hobbs and those
who support him are the ones who are
guilty of trying to impose something
un-American, for a military system
ever has been an American ideal, Such
system it is generally admitted had its
roots in Europe; therefore who is
guilty of un-Americanism?
As to patriotism, after all what is
patriotism? I deem it to be love of
one's country and the true patriot must
have a sincere desire for his country's
welfare. _Consequently I cannot see
why in order to be regarded as a pa-
triot a man must be in favor of pre-
paring for that which he professes
to be against.
Big armaments are not built for
peace, they are built for war. You us-
ually get what you g after. When a
man sows wheat he does not harvest a
crop of corn from that field. If you
sow the seeds of peace you get peace;
if you sow the seeds of war you get
war. Tae your choice.
Who is the greater patriot in Ger-
many today, von Hindenburg or Lieb-
necht, Kitchener or Bernard Shaw in
England, Roosevelt or Jane Addams
in the United States? The question an-
swers itself when we remember that
a real patriot desires the welfare of
his country, and since war can never
benefit a state but is always a detri-
ment, even to the nation that wins, it
logically follows that the warriors
are not the real patriots.
Therefore Mr. Theiss is laboring un-
der a delusion when he says that those
who oppose war or preparedness
which leads to war are unpatriotic.
And neither he nor anyone else can
have any foundation in fact for the1
theory that the United States has no
place for the peace loving man or
woman. On the contrary the people of
this country have no use for the mili-
