night. "I do not know that this :.eat

tion,
Dean Lloyd divided into thrc
classes those who have been a :1n
on this subject. His first cass i -
cludes small-minded people who ar-
gue without having any knowladxce c
the ubject. The second is the in';ra: -
tical, who may be divided into twc
clesses; foolish idealists who do not
consider the result of such a move,
and those who rush in headlong, with-
out giving the subject proper co-
sidera'.on. The third class consists
of the good, loyal, thinking, substan-
tial citizens.
"And now," continued Dean Lloyd,
"we come to the question of compul-
sory military training. It does not.
seam to be on the whole the ri ht
policy of the university. It should be
under the central government, net
under sporadic control.
"The E'uropean universities have
not given themselves to military
training. The efficiency of the cen-
tral government makes this unneces-
sary. Even the English universities
have only voluntary military training.
Names Administrative Objections.
"And then, there is the administra-
tive objection. The administration of
compulsory military training would
be vey difficult indeed. We know
that many make excuses from falling
in line in the universities where it has
been established.
Those 'universities did not original-
ly take nip military training voluntar-
ly. Many universities, including Cor-t
nell, Wisconsin and M. A. C. received
neome from federal land to support
hem. This land was given them on
the condition that they establish com-
pulsory military training.
Expense Important.=
"The expense is another item. Thet
ourteen dollars expended for a uni-
orm would not cover the cost. In
ol( weather, a military overcoatu
would feel very comfortable. Specialr
shoes might also be found necessary.
"All these objections, however, are1
surmountable. But I really cannot
;ee that it is right for the universityc
to undertake this. The central gov-°
,rnment should bear all the responsi-_
ility of military training

would afford, it certainly would be
a splendid thing to see the studentsc

SET" T0 All 'IN SERBIA,
20 BRITISH PLANES IN RAIl
In a statement appearing in the
Detroit News yesterday, Prof. M. E.
Cooley, dean of the College of Engi-
neering, expressed his opinion that
too much sentiment has been allowed
to enter into the question of prepared-
ness which is now belIag discussed so
widely throughout te couitry. Fol-
lowing is the substance of the Dean's
statements:
"The trouble with this question of
preparedness," declared Professor
Cooley,"is that we look u'pon it from
a sentimental, instead of a business
standpoint. No one in this country
wants war. What we do want is pro-
tection against war. The people who
live near a jungle in which tigers
abound want protection in the nme
sense against tigers. They do, not sit
idly by, talking peace and throwing
away their guns.
"Preparation against attack by an
enemy should be considered the same
as insurance. We all insure our build-
ings against fire and lightning and
many insure against cyclones. Fire
insurance costs about 25. cents per
hundred and cyclone insurance 20
cents. The same rates applied to the
$187,739,000,000 of property in this
country would provide from $469,000,-
000 to $657,000,000 for protection each
year against a foreign enemy.,
"We all want peace; we want to be
let alone to work out our problemsi
in our own way. Then why not go
about it in a sane and business-likel
way, throwing sentiment aside? To
be able to live out our lives as in-f
dividuals, we must have a country ofl
our own in which to live and to have1

antd Io Much Damage to
Property
Rome, Dec. 2.--In advance of offi-
cial announcement in the Italian par-
liament that Italy had signed an
agreement with her allies not to con-
sider a separate peace, Baron Son-
nois, foreign minister, made a definite
statement today that Italian military
aid would be sent to Serbia in addi-
tion to a much greater activity on the
part of the Italian army and fleet ini
the Mediterranean.
Italy will make Albania her base of
operations. Already a detachment of
Italian troops have been landed at
Ahloma.
An expedition to the Dardanelles
and operations on the Dalmatian
coast of the Adriatic, and eventually
against an invasion of Egypt, are also
part of the Italian propaganda.
Turkish Troops Pursue British
Berlin, Dec. 2.-In Turkish head-
quarters it is announced that Turkish
troops are pursuing the British on
the Irak front in Mesopatania, who
are making their retreat more com-
plete. British losses in the engage-
ments of November 23 to November 26
exceed 5,000 men. The Turks cap-
tured Azezi and drove the British back
in the direction of Cut-el-Amora, 105
miles south of Bagdad.

Ncrman Angell, globe-trotter, ver-
satile newspaper man, and an author-
ity on matters of diplomacy, hill lec-
ture on "America and the European,
Settlement" in University Ha;1 at 8:00
o'clock tonight.
Shortly before the outbreak of the
present European war, Mr. Angell
,mblished a little book entitled, "To
the American Student, An Open Let-
ter." The subject matter of this shorl.
but impressive work is only too sig-
nificant now, for it treated of "Inter-
national Conciliation."
Extracts from this pampl-et ma:
pfrove of interest, for they contain the
thought of a man who has made a
careful study of the subject at hand.
In regard to Peace and its accom-
panying attributes, Mr. Angell writes:
"What I have to urge upon your at-
tention is not the uesirability 1o
"Peace in the sense of the cessation
of combat, still less of a cosmopolitan-
ism which asks that you shall, in
obedience to some abstract ideal of
instinctive or intuitive origin, sacti-
flee national preferences and charac-
teristics, or, even prejudice; or sur-
render any useful task which your
nation might perform in the world.
Indeed I am not urging any cut-and-
dried political doctrine or dogma t0
all. What I want to urge is the open-
minded consideration of certain facts
and occurrences, the significance, of
which, is for the most part ignored,
although they must profoundly affect
principles of action between men that
cover the whole field of human so -
ciety, affect to some extent the form
and character of our social structure;
which have a very practical bearing
upon prevailing conceptions in mor-
als, legislation, jurisprudence, eco-
nomics, law, and the interpretation
of history."
In another extract we find the fol-
lowing, "What is the problem of War?
Why do nations give their first care
to the preparations for it? To defend
themselves. But that means that

"Woman and Democracy," is the
subject of a lecture to be delivered
by Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson
Hale in the auditorium of the high
school at 8:00 o'clock this evening.
Mrs. Hale will speak under the au-
spices of the Ann Arbor Equal Suf-
frage association. She will occupy
the guest room at the Martha Cook
building.
Until her marriage in 1910 to Mr.
Swinburne Hale, a New York lawyer,
Mrs. Hale was famous as an actress.
She appeared in "The Mollusc," and
"The Morals of Marcus," besides sev-
eral Shakespearean plays, in which
she acted with Sir Johnston Forbes-
Robertson, her uncle.
Mrs. Hale will hold a reception for
women of the university in Newberry
hall at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing. Those who expect to meet Mrs.
Hale are requested to be on time, as
she will leave for Detroit at 11:00
o'clock.
Newspapers in the cities where Mrs.
Hale has lectured are enthusiastic in
their praise of her. The Detroit Free
Press referred to her as "that later-
day Hypatia, distinctly beautiful, elo-
quent, brilliant, clever and witty." A
Portland, Maine, newspaper said: "No
one could see her and hear her with-
out acknowledging that in allying her-
self with the woman's movement she
had lost no feminine charm; if any-
thing, had increased it," and the
Grand Rapids Evening Press adds,
"With all feminine graces of manner
and presence, this woman in her own
person proved that a woman can think
a man's thoughts ana e a woman
still."

2 SHIPS COMMANEERED
BY BRITISHAUTHORITIES
State Department to Protect Action on
Basis of Communication From
Consul at Halifax
Washington, Dec. 2.-Without re-
gard to the protests sent to Great
Britain by this government against
such actions, the British authorities
have gone ahead and commandeered
both the Hocking and the Tennessee,
American registered ships of the
American Trans-Atlantic Steamship
company.
Late tonight the state department
received from the American consul at
Halifax a brief telegram confirming
the fact that the Hocking had been
commandeered. No confirmation has
been received with regard to the Ten-
nessee.
It is understood that the state de-
partment on the basis of the commu-
nication from Consul Young at Hali-
fax will again send protests to Great
Britain, although it is known that the
international law experts are endeav-
oring to run down precedent favoring
London, Dec. 2.--Twenty British
aeroplanes took part in the raid made
Tuesday on the German supply depot
at Miraumont behind the German
lines. The raiders damaged the rail-
way and building used for storing
supplies at that point as well as the
stores of munitions.
The announcement of the raid
is one of several announcements of
activities on the part of the British
flying corps in 'the last few days.
British airmen brought down two
German aviators in Belgium on Tues-
day. Two British aviators are re-
ported missing after setting out on.
recon'noitering flights.
In addition to the report of aero-
plane activities an official headquarter
statement issued today tells about
successful bombardments of enemy
positions within the last four days
and of mine activities in the vicinity
of Pisenchy, and of Boislefrancais.

Barricade Themselves in Abandoned
Shack in Dense Swamp
Rhinelander, Wis., Dec. 2.-Three
desperadoes, barricaded in an aban-
doned logging shack in the heart of
a dense swamp here, are holding off a
Gegen posse composed of scores of
commercial men, police officers and
armed citizens tonight. Firing at in-
tervals has been going on since late
last night.
Two officers under the sheriff, and
a deputy named Anderson have been
wounded and brought out of the-
swamp. Two of the bandits are be-
lieved to have been hit. They are
equipped with high powered rifles and
a good supply of ammunition, firing
whenever a member of the posse re-
veals himself.
They held up a saloon at Starks
Wednesday afternoon and immediately
took refuge in an almost impenetrable
swamp. Several posses of recruits
and every officer in the county have
been summoned to the attack.
