WOULD LIVEN SUNDAY EVE
JUNIOR WANTS ORGAN RECITALS
IN HILL AUDITORIUM; MAKES
DAY OF REST LIVELIER
Editor, The Michigan Daily:-
Sunday night in Ann Aror* What
a dreary time. Church services there
are, but some of us are repelled by
the mere suggestion of a brightly
lighted hall half full of people pa-
tiently submitting to the trying ordeal
of the average sermon.
And we are not devoid of a spiritual
need to be filled. Why cannot we have
organ recitals on Sunday nights in the
spacious Hill auditorium? A selec-
tion of soothing numbers, preferably
not of a religious nature, played with-
out any demonstration expected on the
part of the audience and with the au-
ditorium darkened to some extent,
would go far to fill the void. The
time could be from 7:30 to 8:30.
Such a program would raise the
moral tone of the student body im-
mensely and would make Sunday
evenings less gloomy.

SOCIALIST SOCIETY TO MEET
Michigan Branch of Intercollegiate
Organization Opens
Season
The intercollegiate Socialist society
will hold its first meeting of the year
at 7:30 o'clock this evening in New-
berry hall. Mr. R. K. Immel, of the
oratory department, will read, "The
Terrible Meek," and W. H. Tinker, of
the Y. M. C. A., will give a short ad-
dress on an appropriate topic.
This society was established for the
study of social and economic prob-
lems, and is a branch of the national
organization. To be a member, or to
attend the meetings, one is not re-
quired to be a Socialist. It is the
hope of the society that all interested
will turn out.

nected with the J. Walter Thompson
Advertising company of Detroit, will

ject, "The Strategy of Advance," will
deal with the relation of modern ad-
vertising methods as applied to the
management of the college comic
magazine.
Among the other speakers on the
program is Edward Maguire, '16, busi-
ness manager of the Gargoyle, who
will talk on "Big Business," while
John A. Heist, '15-'18L, is to give his

GERMAN GOVERNMENT WILL
COMPLY WITH REQUEST OF U.S.
Berlin, Dec. 8.-The two German at-
taches now under the displeasure of
the United States government at
Washington, will undoubtedly be re-
called according to diplomatic custom.
The request for removal arrived today,
and Ambassador Bernstoff will ask for
Secretary Lansing's reasons. This
act is, however, looked upon as more
or less perfunctory.
Fresh Engineers Hold Second Smoker
Freshman engineers held their sec-
ond smoker of the year at the Union
on Tuesday evening. The function,
which was largely attended by the
class members, was enlivened with
piano performances by LeRoy Scan-
lan, '16L, and a vocal solo by F. W.

several mandolin selections.
Prof. John C. Parker, head of the

B. Foulk, ex-'15L, last year's
news editor of The Michigan Daily.
"Pan-American Solidarity," by
John Barett, director general of the
Pan-American Union, claims first
place in the magazine, and in it he
develops the thought that the co-op-
eration of students would accomplish
more for commerce, internationalism
and peace than all of the diplomatic
correspondence of long years. Other
articles included are by James A. B.
Scherer, Henry Jurwitz, Ernesto Nel-
son, Dr. Sudhindra Bose, Fredrico S.
de Tejada, Hon. Chen Chi, Ren Hirao

BILL PRESENTED TO CONGRESS
FOR RAISING ARMY OF 400,000
New York, Dec. 8.-A substantial
increase in the regular army estab-
lishments and provision for the rais-
ing of a so-called continental army of
400,000 men in three annual install-
ments, was advocated in a bill, pro-
posed under the direction of Lindley
N. Garrison, secretary of war. This
bill was submitted to the chairman
of the house and senate committee on
military affairs, according to the text
of a bill printed in a recent issue of
the Army and Navy General.
Harvard Sees No Cause for Worry
Although Harvard has lost Mahan
from her next season's football team,
yet the Crimson studlents see no cause
to mourn. Her 1916 aggregation will
contain most of the line which defeat-
ed Yale, 41-0, while for the backs; the
Cambridge team has Enwright, who
learned a lot about the game this past
fall; Casey, a star back from Exeter,
Athens, Dec. 8.-In a statement to
an Associated Press correspondent
yesterday King Constantine of Greece
compared the status of the United
States with that of Greece and found
a marked similarity in the conditions
of the two countries.
"Both are trying by every honorable
means to guard our own sovereignty,
protect our own people and stand up
for our national interests without sac-
rificing that neutrality which we rec-
ognize as our only salvation. America
is protected from immediate danger
by the distance which separates her
from the battlefield. We, too, thought
that once. But the battlefield shifted
and may shift again. What is happen-
ing in Greece today may happen in
Holland, America or any other neutral
country tomorrow, if the precedent
now sought to be established in
Greece is once fixed."
HARVARD STUDENTS PLEAD NOT
GUILTY BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Cambridge, Mass., Dec. 8.-Several
Harvard undergraduates pleaded not
guilty in the Supreme court yesterday
to indictments charging conspiracy
in the making of false oaths, and the
signing of false certificates in connec-
tion with the alleged illegal registra-
tion for voting by Harvard instructors
and students.

mentioned in the investigation of the
"Labor National Peace Council."
Evidence collected by the depart-
