POUR THE MiCHi AW- DAILY. F~OtJtt THE MICHIGAN DAILY. Week's Trade Review-Theatre NEW PROBLEMS IN FINANCIAL WORLD FINAL EFFECT OF WAR ON U. S. COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS MAY NOT BE FOR THE BEST. LITTLE HOSTILITY TO CAPITAL (Henry Clews and Company) The financial condition of the coun- try is undoubtedly promising, but con- tains many difficult and unprecedented problems. The violent derangement of foreign trade, the sudden and over- whelming demand for munitions, the numerous applications for American funds and the consequent secondary disturbances affecting shipping, labor, railroads, factories and all commercial lines in' general, are too familiar to require mention. War Benefit May Not be Permanent Should the war continue indefinitely it will have a two-fold effect. In the first place it will mean a demand on the United States for munitions and food products such as has been experi- enced during the last six months. This temporary trade advantage, however, will be offset in the long run, and it would be a dangerous self-deception to think that the United States could be permanently benefited by a strug- gle ended only by exhaustion. Evidently, then, a prolonged war will have both its gains and losses for the United States. Should the war come to an early end we should lose some- thing by having some large war con- tracts cut off, but we should gain much more by the restoration of normal activities. With the coming of peace new prob- lems will have to be met. Our finan- cial demobilization would be in order and our many industries that have be- come radically changed during the struggle will be permitted to return to their normal condition. In addi- tion to this, European commercial life will have an entirely new aspect. This will influence our foreign trade im- mensely. Home and Foreign Conditions Improve Home conditions show further im- provement. Railroad traffic is steadily expanding, trade in the west shows considerable improvement, new build- ing is exhibiting a decided revival and the steel trade continues on an unexampled boom. The foreign exchange situation has been greatly improved. This country is still a creditor nation in the large sense of the term, but a tremendous change has taken place in this re- spect. Some months ago the amount of foreign capital invested in this coun- try was estimated at $5,000,000,000. Since the war began between $200,000,- 000 and $300,000,000 worth of securi- ties have been returned, we have taken the Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000, and we have made shipments to Russia, Canada, Italy Argentina and other countries. The nation as a whole probably is thinking more seriously at the present than it has at any other time in recent years. Public opinion is less hostile to capital, a fact which helps to remove1 the depressing influence of so long3 standing. The railroads, too, are car- rying an increasing amount of traffic at better rates than formerly, the re- sults for November promising to bet exceptionally satisfactory.r To Exhibit Antarctic PhotographsI Remarkable photographs of Sirz Douglas Mawson's Antarctic expedi-r tion will be exhibited in Alumni Mem- orial hall Tuesday and Wednesday.c These pictures are the same as thoset put on the screen here last year. TheyF include beautiful views of the won- derful snow and ice of the AntarcticI regions, as well as a number of ex-t cellent photographs of the bird and 1 animal life of the far south.s Former Student Marries in LansingZ Stanley Putney, ex'17, who is atI present assistant to the manager ofb the Bissel company of Grand Rapids,v was recently married to Miss Char- lotte Moore of Lansing.s At The Theatres~ Margaret Anglin's engagement in Paul Kester's comedy, "Beverly's Balance," at the Whitney theater on Saturday, November 27, bids fair to be one of the record-breaking periods. And the reason is not far to seek; for Miss Anglin has here produced a com- edy based on the subject of divorce, which makes you laugh incessantly for three acts. Miss Anglin's inimitable art shines brilliantly throughout the action of Paul Kester's charming and brilliant comedy, and her supporting company is perfect. It is quite appar- ent that no one is going to miss this richest comedy of the season, if the box-office reservation are any induce- ment. Those who miss seeing Miss Anglin in "Beverly's Balance" will miss one of the rare theatrical treats of the year. At the Garrick. "Life", that sensational, picturesque, human drama about America which Thompson Buchanan wrote, is at the Garrick theatre, Detroit, for a week's engagement, including the regular matinees on Wednesday and Saturday and a special Thanksgiving Day mat- inee. William A. Brady, who produced this piece, modestly declares it is the biggest dramatic production that he has ever made. It comes to Detroit direct from a triumphant run at the Manhattan Opera House, New York, and Gotham declares -it is the great- est melodrama they have ever seen. The play tells of the perils of a young college man, the stroke oar of; of execution, when he is extricated by a device which Mr. Brady says is both ingenious and surprising. The play contains among its pictorial features a college boat race, ahcoaching scene zwith a crowded four-horse tally-ho, a ball on Fifth avenue, the front of St. Patrick's Cathedral, a mobilization of Mexican revolutionists in El Paso, a Pitched battle on horse-back, in the Mexican desert. 'and the storming and d:emolition of a stoutly built mine stockade. There are twenty-one scenes. and eighty-two speaking parts in this production, to say nothing of dancers, horsemen, and real oarsmen for the big college boat race. It is filled with thrills and excitement and its story is told logically and convincingly. Every character in it is vital and the audience follows the adventures of the hero and heroine with eager interest through all their perils to the happy ending where virtue triumphs over villainy. M.

The Flonzaley Quartet which will make its first appearance in Ann Ar- bor tonight after an absence of several years, is an organization which has won a unique place in the field of mu- sic. It is made up of four splendid ar- tists who have pledged themselves to refrain from taking part in music per- formances other than that of quartet' playing; the result is that the organi- zation has attained unusually high rank. The work done by those four musi- cians is attracting the favorable at- tention of the entire musical world. Adolfo Betti, first violin, Was born in Florence, March 21, 1875. He played in public at the age of seven. For a time he followed literary pursuits, but later, upon the advice of Cesar Thom- son, devoted himself exclusively to the violin. He studied four years under Thomson at Liege, graduating at the Royal Conservatoire with the highest honors, winning the gold medal for violin and first prize in harmony. He then began to concertize, appearing successfully in Austria, Germany and England. In 1900 he was appointed Professor at the Brussels Conserva- toire, where, during the absence of Cesar Thomson, he occupied that great master's post as concert master of he orchestra conducted by the fa- mous Geveart. Alfred Pochon, second violin,' was born at Lausanne, July 30, 1838. He first studied the violin at Geneva with Louis Rey, and at the age of 12 gave a series of concerts in Switzerland. Joachim heard him play and advised iiim tu go to Thomson. He was the laureate at the Liege Conservatoire. Later he became assistant to Thomson in Brussels. Ugo Ara was born at Venice, July 19, 1876. He studied violin under P. A. Tirindelli, winning a diploma with the greatest distinction. Afterward he, too, studied with Thomson at Liege. In 1896 he went to Vienna and took a course of composition under Robert Fuchs. Iwan d'Archambeau, violoncello, was born at Verviers, the birthplace of Vieuxtemps, September 18, 1879. He comes of a very musical family, his father having been a composer of im- portance, distinguished especially for church music. He studied the 'cello with Massau, the teacher of Gerardy, and after winning the gold medal for excellence, went to Frankfurt to per- fect himself under Hugo Becker. He then made successful tours as a soloist in Germany and Belgium. Following is the program which the quartet will carry out in Hill auditor- ium at 8 o'clock tonight. Quartet in D major ....
