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.

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 Aliack Germnan Depot at Miraimont 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.

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.

AND DEMO'CRA(CY" "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."

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.

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. * * * * * * * * * * * * i Ad W.Riter says:- * * To be assured of your entire * * satisfaction, first read the ads, * * * * * * * * * * * * * * the British government in the of this government's policy Civil war.
