"We must still adhere to the policythat has governed this country for a hundred years. If we change our policy now we admit to the world that they have been right and we have been wrong. We confirm them in their futile folly by imitating them. "If we had been as well prepared as some would want us to be, I sincerely believe we would be in this war today. Preparedness does not prevent war, it provokes war. What the world needs is that the nations be brought together in the spirit of friendship. The three great commandments, thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, must be applied to national affairs. We cannot afford to trans- plant to American soil this European tree of hatred unless we are willing to accept its bitter fruits." In dealing with the causes of the war, Mr. Bryan emphatically declared, "The cause of this war is to be found in a false philosophy, the philosophy that might makes right, and until we invoke for nations the moral code that regulates individual affairs, there is nothing by which the affairs of nations can be regulated." In concluding, he said, "There are three reasons why this country cannot afford to enter this war: first, no one can estimate the cost in money; sec- ond, no one can tell how much it would cost us in men; third, we can- not go into this war and remain a neutral. Some nation must lift the world out of war. I crave that privi- lege for our nation." Mr. Bryan came here under his own expenses in the interests of the Y. M. C. A. work on the battlefields of Eu- rope. At the close of the lecture the committee announced that the receipts would enable them to forward $200.00 to John R. Mott, director of the move- ment, as Michigan's contribution to the cause. This sum will represent the largest contribution of any college or university in the country. ABE LINCOLN OF SOUTH GIVES LECTURE TONIGHT William G. Frost to Speak on "Our Contemporary Ancestors" at Presbyterian Church William G. Frost, president of Berea College, Kentucky, will deliver the Tappan lecture at the Presbyterian church at 7:30 o'clock this evening. The subject of his address will be "Our Contemporary Ancestors." Dr. Frost is familiarly known as the "Abraham Lincoln of the South," for through his broad sympathy with the mountaineers ofKentucky, and his educational work at Berea, he has emancipated a backward people. At a recent gathering in New York city, Justice Hughes of the Supreme Court, in introducing President Frost, said, "Here is a man who, in develop- ing young manhood, has placed a na- (Continued on Page Six) cussion will be led by Mr. Wozniok, chairman of the program committee.{ Mr. Jogodzinski will 'give a short review of the life and works of Jan Kochanowski.

In an in- formal talk after the dinner he ex- pressed himself as being in favor of co-education. He said, "Students should leave school not only with minds train- ed, but also with hearts developed." The ex-secretary gave a speech at Newberry hall in the afternoon on "The First Commandment." Gargoyle Will Be Out This Week Leap Year Number of Campus humor- Ist to Excel all Former Editions Issues of theGargoyle's Leap Year number will total 1500, which is 200 more copies than have ever been is- sued before. This is not because the Gargoyle thinkstthat the campus is especially interested in Leap Years, but because the "reading" is superb and writhingly funny.. Features of this number will be the cover design and Harry Leach's dou- ble page drawing, which contains ones hundred pictures in each section and depicts the campus in the throes of Leap Year. The cover design is by Al Honey, '17D and depicts a girl's head popping out of the March cal- endar. The magazine comes out this week Friday and copies will be sold on the campus. WEBSTER SOCIETY WOULD HAVE POLITICAL SPEAKERS COME ---7 On account of the action of the Board of Regents in not permitting political speakers to use Hill auditorium, a resolution was introduced by Paul G. Eger, '16L, at the regular meeting of the Webster Debating society on Fri- day evening, which provides for a for- mal protest to be sent to that body. The resolution was adopted by the Webster society by an overwhelming majority. It will be presented to the other campus societies for their appro- val, and if ratified by them will be submitted to the Board of Regents as the combined sentiment of all the so- cieties in respect to this matter. The first full dress rehearsal of the cast and chorus of the 1916 Union opera, "Tres Rouge" will be held at the Whitney theater tomorrow night. Owing to an unexpected delay in the shipment of costumes from New York, the dress parade was postponed yes- terday. "The show is in good shape and ready any moment for the first per- formance," said Director Morgan yes- terday when asked as to his opinion of the opera. Although Mr. Morgan has been in Ann Arbor for but four weeks, he has succeeded in whipping the entire show into shape almost a week ahead of time. The annual dinner for cast, chorus, committeemen, and old members of the Mimes will be held at the Union at 7:30 o'clock tonight. Talks will be given by Director Morgan, Harry Gault, Theron Weaver and other mem- bers of the opera committees. Since the adoption of the new plan for the writing of next year's opera! book, the committee has sent to the Mask and Wig club of the University of Pennsylvania for further informa- tion as to the form of scenarios re- qtuired by them. As soon as the in- formation arrives the details will be sent to those who attended the meet- ing held last week. All those inter- ested, who did not attend the meeting, can procure information by communi- cating with Theron D. Weaver. Yesterday's ,rehearsal was devotedj chiefly to the practicing of the vari- ous songs with the orchestra. A com- plete list of the opera orchestra has been posted in the Union. , Transport Gllpabriek ;ails Galveston, Tex., Mar. 1..-The Unit-j ed States transport Gilpatrick sailed this afternoon for Christobal with 1,500 muen, artillery, animals. and equipment on board. Today First Go to Church Sunday I - --t Spon.oed by S. C. A. Coin. niittee and Student Pastors Michigan's first Go-to-Church Sun- day will be instituted today when it is expected that several thousand stu- dents will attend either the morning or evening services in one of the local churches. The movoment, which has been sponsored by a committee of the S. C. A. and the student pastors, has received considerable recognition in several of the other college centers of the United States, and it is likely that an annual student Go-to-Church Sunday will be appointed for all the universities and colleges of the United States. More than 3,000 letters and several thousand cards have been sent out in furtherance of today's movement, in addition to a campaign of advertising which has been carried on in the lo- cal papers. Special preachers have been secured for most of the pulpits, and special ermons will be preached both morning and evening in all the local churches. Extra musical services have also been arranged. HM MILTON HOLT TALKS TONICHT Editor of The Independent to Speak on Preparedness Hamilton Holt, editor of the Inde- pendent, will speak this evening in the Methodist church at 7:30 o'clock, on "National vs International Pre- paredness."

Washington, Mar. 11.-Between 5,000 and 6,000 American troops, under the personal command of Brigadier-Gen- eral John J. Pershing, have crossed the Mexican boundary line in pursuit of General Villa. Advance information as to the troops' movements is with- held under the strictest possible cen- sorship. At a late hour tonight the foreign de- partment was said to have no official information that troops had started. Members of Congress who called at the war and state departmnts, hwever, were pointedly ,told that the under- standing is that the vanguard of the forces got under way early today. Funston's Report Thought Ase A statement in dispatches from San Antonio, acreediting to Major-General Frederick H. Funston the report that the expedition would not lie organized for two or three days, is believed in official circles' here to represent an effort on the officer's part to throw Villa off his guard. From private but well-informed quar- ters information comes tonight that the American column is being headed by several battalions of cavalry, which were moved early this morning from Hachita to Culbertson's ranch, which touches the border at the southwest corner of New Mexico. From this point a wagon trail leads directly east- ward to Ascension, Mexico, where Vil- la's troops were last reported. Casas Grandes Objective The objective of the preliminary force is understood to be in the vicin- ity of Casas Grandes, where 500 Amer- ican ranchmen are marooned. Funs- ton is in supreme command. Having authorized him last night to put his troops in motion, the war department appears satisfied that the first offi- cial report of the invasion will not be sent until all danger of the details of the plans of campaign becoming known to Villa is past. According to authoritative informa- tion obtained tonight, Funston's sole instructions apparently are to get Vil- la. How the task is to be accomplished has been left to the officer himself, whose position in the army is due to his success in capturing Aginaldo, leader of the Phillipine insurrection- Distrustful of Carraza Officials of the state department ap- pear satisfied that, for the present, there is no danger of active interfe- rence on the part of Carranza.
