THE MICI&IG-AN DAILY I Can You Take Pictures? C' This may seem an unimportant question, but it is not.

A. C. Hildner iat the fresh engineer as- sembly Wednesday morning, in which he dilated upon the significance at- tached to "La Revue des Nations," or the Review of the Nations, as indicat- ing the growing importance and ac- tivity of the foreign students in the University. "Through association with students from lands other than America," Pro- fessor Hildner said, "one broadens his outlook upon life and realizes the im- portance of the brotherhood of man, which is symbolized bythe Cosmopoli- tan club motto, 'Above all things, hu- manity.' This motto, he stated, will soon ap- pear o State street'as part of the first metropolitan sign to be shown in Ann Arbor in advertisement of "La Revue des Nations." PR"AC'AL KILLING BUSINESS OF WAR (Continued from Page One) States, gave many interesting side- lights of life in the trenches and sev- eral exact pictures of the types of men now fighting in the Allied cause. "What is characteristic of one army is characteristic of another," he said, "and much of the courtesy of the soldiers is overlooked in our de- sire for real news of the war. The aviation corps are providing the real chivalry of the war, and the closest similarity exists between them and the ancient yeoman of old. "The test of a good soldier, nowa- days, is his ability to build a trench," he continued, "and the Canadian con- tingent have proved 'themselves very proficient along this line. 'We have to,' one Canadian said, 'if we don't, they'll blow our bloomin' blocks off.' At Mons. the British retreat was stop- ped by the common British 'Tommies,' who declared themselves too tired to run any more, and said they were going to lay down and 'pop at the beggars a while."'" Mr. Palmer, in the course of his ad- dress said that the German shells have all been named by the allied troops and they can be recognized by1 the sound they make just before bursting.,- "Percy," he said, is a smartt little shell of high velocity and kills you before you know it, while on the other hand, "Jack Johnson" is a "ninef point two" of a low velocity and can1 be heard coming several seconds be- fore it strikes, singing the song "I kill-I kill-I kill" until it bursts with] a reverberation that demolishes everything around it. In speaking of the wonderful Brit-] ish navy, Mr. Palmer said, "Many of the poorest ships among the 3,000 that comprise the British navy, arel better than our best dreadnoughts.. After spending some time with thisl great navy, I have only one word to1 say to the American nation, and that< it that I would sooner have ships on the Atlantic to keep an enemy off than to dig trenches in New York or New Jersey. I have seen both kinds of warfare."

Huron St. Parisian Ivory Leather Goods Silverware Gold Pocket Knives Chains Pencils Famous Prianist 's Career Is Unique Paderewski, Who Comes Isere January 20, an Unknown Alusieian in 1884 If the career of Paderewski, who will be heard in Hill Auditorium Thursday evening, January 20, as a virtuoso has been unique in the an- nals of music, so also may be called his preparation for that career. As a rule the usual virtuoso is either a "wonder child" or else by the time he has entered his teens he has had a solid primary training in his art and is possessor of a technique far beyond the reach of any but the most gifted amateurs. With Paderewski, however, this was not the case. He himself tells us that when he was sixteen his tech- nique was so inadequate that he was always forced to make improvisations of his own in hard passages, hoping that none of his audience would be the wiser. It was not until he was twenty-four that he set himself seri-; ously at the gigantic task of accom- plishing in a few years of his maturity what others spent a lifetime on. In 1884 Paderewski was a poor. un- known musician whose threadbare clothes differed no whit from the threadbare clothes of thousands of other' poor, unknown musicians that swarm the streets of Berlin and Vi- enna. His own friends did not suspect the genius that lay within him. Four years later Vienna, Berlin and Paris were talking about the marvelous, Pole, the pupil of Leschetitsky, who was giving a new message of beauty with his piano. Two years more, London fairly fought to attend his re- citals and in 1891 he began the series of triumphant tours of America, the, like of which has never been seen. Paderewski has triumphed as a, pianist not merely because he is a pianist but because of his extraor- dinary sympathetic interpretive mind, which. illumines and clarifies all that it comes in contact with. Perhaps it is a fair presumption that this is due in large measure to theyears of strug- gle against poverty and misfortunes of all kinds. tures, and the touches of humor andl pathos withbvhich he interspersed hisI lecture made it one of the most ef-I fective numbers on the oratoricali course thus far.f Previous to his address last night., FINE WATCH AND JEWELRY REPAIRING HAL L ER JEWELRY CO.
