"I see by The Daily," said the gradu-
ate with the tortoise-rimmed spec-
tacles, "that the Shakespearean pag-
eant is to be presented on the anni-
versary of the great bard after all."
"Wrong," chortled his sophomore
friend, "AprIl 2, you know-."
"I knoaw," rftured he of the spec-
tacles, "bu t you forget that the pres-
ent calendar was instituted by Pope
Gregory X11 in 1582, being a mnodif-
cation of that introduced in B. C. 46
by a certain Julius Caesar, and was
adopted in England and America in
1752. But since the Julian year is
11 minutes longer than the astrono-
mical year, the date of the vernal
eqiiinox had become displaced by 10
days since 325 A. D. Thus the dif-
ference bets=een the two calendars
from 1582 to 1700 i 10 days, from
1700 to 100 11 dys, and from 1800
to 1900, 12 lays, while 13 days must

DUAL WAR CRISiS
AFFECTSMARKET
Nervous Tension in Stocks Caused by
Shock of Note to Germany
on U-Boat Matter
BOND ISSUES TAKEN UP QUICKLY
According to the monthly market
letter published by Spencer, Trask and
Company, the fact that we are faced
at two points with the possibility of
war has a great effect on our market
situation. The shock of our note to
Germany caused nervous tension on
stocks, which have, however, because
the reply has not been received as
yet, recovered some of their lost
ground.
Bonds have been fairly active, and
the new issues that have been brought
out have been absorbed rapidly. The
demand has not been so much for
bonds that have been outstanding for
some time as for new issues.
The most important new bond issue
during the month has been the sale
by New York City of $55,000,000 capi-
tal stock, bearing 4 1-4 per cent in-
terest.
In so far as the industrial position
of the country is concerned, it is on
the whole satisfactory. While trade
in general is active, the steel business
is particularly so. This was indicated
by the statement of the earnings of
the United States Steel corporation,
which for the first three months of this
year established a new high record of
$60,713,624.
The crop outlook is not altogether
favorable, the recent government re.-
port on winter wheat showing the low-
est condition in 10 years. Even so,
owing to the increase in this yer's
acreage, it is expected that returns will
be above the average.

CONFEREES REACH AGREEMENT
ON REORGANIZATION OF ARMS'
From far 'off Tacoma, Washington,
comes a tribute to the Glee club 0
the University of Michigan. It ccmc'
not from a graduate of the institu-
tion, his heart filled with fond memor-
ies perhaps, by the sight of the rmief.
from Ann Arbor. Nor does it come as'
the cold opinion of the critic. ]3ut
it comes from a man busy whith th'
world's commercial affairs-from i
W. W. Cooley who was pfesent in the
audience at Tacoma during the spring
tour of the Glee club to that city. On
the back of his program he wrote:
" "TO MICHIGAN."
Men of merit, men of worth,
Inspiring us with pleasing song,
Continue on the glorious work;
Happy thoughts send you along;
In all your travels may you be
God's messengers with songs of glee
As every moment that you sing
No one can doubt that .Song is
. King!"

Berlin, May 2.-A monster trial of
250 followers of Tolstoi for refusal toI
fight in the war has begun in Moscow,,
according to a special dispatch In1
the National Zeitung. The trial isr
being held behind closed doors.
Some time ago the Tolstoians issued
an appeal calling on their brethren
not to bear arms and not to shoot at'
any one, because Christ taught that
foreigners also were brothers, andl
that he who lived by the sword died
by the sword.

House Cmmittee Approves Appropri-
ation, Despite Republicans.
Washington, D. C., May 2. - The
naval affairs committee of the House
today approved unanimously the ap-
propriation of $2,000,000 for naval aer-
onautics. This is by far the greatest
amount ever expended in one year on
the aerial branch of either army or
navy or both.
The committee also voted to add to
the appropriations bill $1,700,000 for
the construction of a projectile plant.
This was recommended by the secre-
tary of the navy, as was also the $2,-
C0,000 aeronautics outlay, although
the general board of the navy urged
.'5,040,000, and Captain Bristol, in
,rge ofnaval aeronautics, had urged
'3,600,000 .

Lee Brown, '17, has secured a posi-
tion as a timber cruiser on an Indian
reservation in Wisconsin. He will
leave college about the middle of May.
Washington, D. C., May 2.-Hope for
an agreement in conference on the
army reorganization bill seemed
brighter tonight after an all-day ses-
sion of the conference committee in
which a basis for negotiations of dif-
ferences between the Senate and
House on the regular army was
reached.
Senate conferees agreed to yield on
the proposed standing army of 250,-
000 men and to accept a peace
strength of 180,000 men, provided the
House would accept the expansion sys-
tem of organization in the Senate bill.
Under this system the regular army
could be increased in tine of conflict
to 220,000 or more. House conferees
tentatively agreed to this proposition
on which to base agreements as to
detail, organization of units, and other
features of the measure. The Cham-
berlain bill, before it was amended in
the Senate, placed the maximum
strength of the regular army at about
180,000, whereas the House bill left
it at 140,000.
BO]OKS WRT REDN
"AN ARMY OF THE PEOPLE," by
John McAuley Palmer.-Ndw York.
-G. P. Putnam's Sons.
Supposing a National Defense Act
were passed, what would be the out-
come? This question is well answer-
ed in this book of Mr. Palmer's. He
starts out with the supposition that
such an act has been passed, and then
he traces the development of the na-
tional army with a great deal of mi-
nuteness and care. With the Swiss
system as a basis of training and en-
rollment, he describes the experiences
of the first summer's training camp,
he gives the summer school curricu-
lum, the methods of discipline, etc.
He even gives the exact number en-
rolled and the various ranks into
which they are divided. He gives a
further touch of reality in the diary
of a cavalry lieutenant who receives
orders to organize a cavalry troop of
volunteers scattered over the west. At
the end of six years, in 1921 to be
exact, there is a well trained and ade-
quate national army and a definite
military policy.
The book is quite cleverly conceived
and a great deal of force is given the
prop-ganda by its air of reality.
Those who doubt or those who are in-
different to the military future of the
United States should be interested in
this book and perhaps convinced by
it.
