SNETHEN SAYS THAT U. S. IS NOT IN ANY DANGER OF FOR- EIGN INVASION. Editor, The Michigan Daily:- I would like to make public some of the questions which arose at the For- um and the answers to these questions as I view them. Professor Hobbs said that upon the close of the war in Europe, Am rica was likely to be invaded. He said the German government had gone s far as to have planned the best meth'd of attack. In answer to this I say, there is no war in sight, far less an invas- ion into this country by European forces. The war in Europe tolay is fast exhausting all the forces of the belligerent powers, and the end is not yet. How many years the present war will continue, no man can say, but it is not at all probable that it will close in the near future. After the war clues cease, the nations will be so ex- hausted and the fighting men will be so tired of war, that they will not care to enter another soon. Another question that was 1 rought up was that of patriotism. Pofessor Hobbs said that he had spent several y ars in Europe and had compared the p-atriotism of those countries with that of America, and that he felt ashamed of the American spirit. He said that European students felt the duty they owed their country and were anxious to serve her, that the Ameri- can student should likewise be willing to sacrifice his life for his state. In answer to this, I would say that I believe the war in Europe today is largely due to this so-called "Patrinoi. ism." Europe is war mad. If they had held some of the saner views which their cousins across the Atlantic had held in regard to war, there would be not war in Europe today. I believe in the right kind of patriotism. I be- ieve every student does owe something to his state, but cannot he serve the state in a far better way by using all his time while in the University to get the best possible education and then go back home to his community and help lift his neighbors to a higher plane of living? Patriotism can best be shown by making your life work something which will be useful to mankind, such as healing the sick, championing the wrongs of the distressed, relieving the suffering of the poor and helping some soul-sick brother to a better life. I oppose compulsory military train- ing in the university for another rea- son. If Michigan would adopt this plan, it would be setting an example for other state institutions to do like- wise. Michigan has so large an influ- ence that her responsibility in this matter is very great. If the state in- stitutions throughout our land should adopt this plan, we should soon have as despicable a war regime built up in this country as Germany has had. This idea that preparedness for war causes peace, exploded a few months ago when military Europe broke out in war. Germany, the best prepared of all, was one of the first upon the scene. David Starr Jordan says, "Prepared- ness for war causes war. The result in Europe today was caused by pre- paredness." I would like to close by giving Long- fellow's idea, also by quoting from the speech of Lord Roseberry of England before the University of London on November 16: I- camps and courts Given to redeem the human mind from error There were no need of arsenals and forts." Lord Roseberry of England says, "I know nothing more disheartening than the announcement recently made that the United States-the one great country left in the world free from the hideous, bloody, burden of war-is planning toembark upon the build- ing of a huge military system. It means that the burden will continue upon other nations and be increased exactly in proportion that it is built up in the United States. .I confess that it is a disheartening prospect that the United States, so remote from the European conflict, should voluntarily in these days take up the burden, which after this war will be found to have broken, or almost broken, our backs." After this conflict is over we will be nearer than ever before the disarm- ament of the whole world, the ideal state. Shall the learned regents of Michigan put one stone in the path of this great Utopian movement of world- wide peace? E. 0. SNETHEN, '18L. ORGANIZE "TEUTONS" ON CAMPUS Problems of Germany in Present War to be Discussed Prof. Carl Huber, of the histology department, and director of the ana- tomical laboratory, has been elected honorary member of The Teutons, a new campus organization. The offi- cers who have been elected are: Pres- ident, Austin W. Heins, '17M, and vice- presidentEugene F. Traub, '16. Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, of the German de- partment, made on informal talk on German university life at the first meeting. The Teutons is different from the Deutschtr Verein in that membership is not limited to students of the liter- ary department, and that instead of considering German literature, the club plans to discuss the social, polit- ical, and economic problems of Ger- many, and to compare German ideals with American. The club will take an entirely neutral attitude on the present European war. Membership will be limited to 30, and meetings will be held every other week. The next meeting will be held at 6:45 o'clock Wednesday evening. FRED W. BUTZEL, '97, TO SPEAK AT MENORAH METING SUNDAY Fred M. Butzel, '97, a prominent Detroit lawyer and president of the Limited Jewish Charities of that city will address the members of the Men- orah society at 8:00 o'clock Sunday evening in Newberry hall. Mr. But- zel's subject will be, "Some Tenden- cies in the Social Work of the Jews." Abraham J. Levin, '16, president of the society has announced that the following speakers will appear be- fore the society in the near future: Prof. Edward Chauncey Baldwin of the English department of the Uni- versity of Illinois, who will speak on "Job" on December 12; Henry Hur- witz, organizer of the Intercollegiate Menorah association, and Prof. Julian Morgenstern of the Hebrew Union Col- lege of Cincinnati, Ohio.

BEFORE MICHIGAN DAMES CLUB Dr. J. A. Wessinger lectured on "State Health Laws Important to Housekeepers" before the Michigan Dames association in Newberry hall last evening. The organization is composed en- tirely of students' wives and was founded at Michigan in the spring of 1914, with branches in at least a dozen other universities and colleges, Ohio Wesleyan and Chicago university be- ing notable examples. The enrollment of the association now numbers 100 members and meets bi-monthly in Newberry hall. All stu- dents' wives in the university are cor- dially invited to join the club, and can do so by communicating with Mrs. Holton Lowe at the Bible Chair House. STUDENT COUNCIL REFUSES FRESHMAN "CONFISCATION DAY" That "Confiscation Day" would not take place was the decision handed down by the Student Council in re- sponse to an appeal from the sopho- more engineers that a day be set 'aside upon which any freshman wear- ing other than the prescribed cap or toque would be liable to lose his head- gear. "It is the duty of all upperclassmen to uphold campus traditions," said a member of the council, "and the big- gest of these traditions is that a freshman should wear his cap or toque. It is our opinion that such a day would only tend to arouse hos- tility between the two underclasses, and that is a thing we wish to avoid." Union Will Serve Turkey-Day Feast Members of the Michigan Union who are planning to eat their Thanksgiv- ing turkey at the clubhouse this year will be treated to a sumptuous repast according to a menu announced by the steward yesterday. Copies of this menu will be mailed to the various fraterni- ties, and house-clubs and to the life members of the Union. The dinner will be served from 1:00 to 3:00 o'clock on Thursday.

A., will speak next Saturday evening at the big meeting of the Thirteenth Annual Old- er Boys' conference in Kalamazoo. His topic on this occasion will be "Character Building in Boys." His remarks will be based upon his experi- ence in the Michigan-Harvard foot- ball game in 1914. Reimann spoke at the conference here last fall and during the winter he appeared in Kalamazoo before a city boys' meeting. He made such a favorable impression upon members of the program committee that he was obtained as a speaker for one of the most important meetings of this .year's three-day conference.
