WHEN THE WAR IS OVER
"When the war is over," is a phrase
often on our lips, coming out with
much the same intonation with which
Brother Johnsing says, "When I get
to heaven,' or which girls employ in
beginning, "When I marry-." We have
a feeling, natural enough in the midst
of a gigantic task, that when the big
shove is over and the Rhine reach-
ed and the boys begin to come home,
then the halcyon days will arrive. As
some vexatious problem shows its
head for a moment and then subsides
before the rush of patriotic feeling
which hastens to drown causes of dis-
cord before the enemy can see them
and be comforted thereby, we occa-
sionally realize their existence and the
fact that they will not always lie hid-
den beneath the current. But most of
the time we have the attitude of the
Southern slaves who sang of the "day
of jubilee," little reckoning of the
dark times of reconstruction immed-
iately ahead of them.
In these months we need to be con-
vinced that if stout hearts and clear
minds are needed now, they will be
three times necessary when peace
comes on the foreign field and troub-
1bus domestic questions, now impati-
ently waiting settlement, come up for
the bitter discussion which always
characterizes family differences. We
need to be preparing for the new day,
by thinking about and understanding
to the best of our ability the issues of
national and international politics,
by determining for ourselves the prin-
ciples by which we as a nation should
be guided, by making the most of the
educational advantages which lie
about us here at the University. This
kind of preparation need not interfere
with our part in winning the war,
rather it should make us the more
anxious to win it and the more intelli-
gent as to its true singnificance and
possible results.
And whether we are ready for them
or not, these crises will soon be upon
us. The present partisan split in na-
tional politics, after many months
of complaisant co-operation, the heat
>f congressional campaigning, the un-
dertone growls of reformers and
standpatters; all are signs of the
times. The student soldier and the
"tudent who is not a soldier both need
to be on the alert, avoiding the dang-
erous delusion that "everything will
be all right once we lick the Ger-
mans," and. ready to be leaders in
"hought in a country which will sore-
ly need their best ideals and reason-
ing powers.
W. A. A.
Today the women of the University
are being asked to support the Wo-
men's Athletic association by becom-
ing members. Aside from the fact that
he association is one of the three
great organizations in which ev ryv
Michigan woman should bear a part.
it has a doubly important mission to
fulfill this year and can only do it with
he co-operation of all the women In
:hese days when so much is falling
.pon the shoulders of women, it is the
irst duty of every girl to keep herself
fit War work of all kinds is on her
laily program, along with the addi-
ional demands made upon her time
md strength by campus activities
'rom which ,the men have been large-

ly withdrawn. And before the war
the life of the average college girl
was not an easy one, as far as expen-
diture of nerve force was concerned.
It was an individual matter then as
to whether or not she kept herself
strong and well-poised,but now it is
the concern both of the University'
and the country. Strong women are
the bulwark of the, home defense, as
everyone from General Pershing
down, admits. And each day of this
year of experiment reveals the extent
of the opportunity and accompanying
responsibility of the women of Mich-
igan.
In order to meet these duties and
make the most of these chances, serene
minds in healthy bodies are necessary.
This is the work of the department of
physical training for women, and
hand in hand with it is the Women's
Athletic association. Together they
work to put red blood and the spirit
of fair play and comradeship into the
women, things not present in the old*
concept of womanliness but vital to
the new and truer one.
It is a good thing that the principal
animosity of the student in arms is
felt for the Germans. By the time
he gets to Europe, if not sooner, there
won't be anything else left to fight.
The German government paper,
Vorwaerts, declares that he war must
last only a few days more. This is
a question which it is not up to Vor-
waerts to decide.
Our idea of hard luck is wearing a
mask conscientiously, putting on
woolen undies in October, and then
catching it after all.

stag"-Cub's copy. No doubt mean-
ing that the honorable herrn went
straight up in the air.
CULTURE IS MERE
CONVENTION-BRUMM
"Culture," was the subject of a short
talk Prof. John R. Brumm of the-rhe-
toric department gave to his class in
journalism Wednesday. "We are in-
clined to have false notions of cul-
ture here," he said. "Most of our cul-
ture is pure convention." He told of
how he attended an art exhibit and
studied its effects on enthusiastic spec-
tators. By worming it out of a num-
ber of those who expressed admira-
tion, he found their candid opinion was
that they failed to see wherein lay the
beauty of the pictures exhibited. He
cited this as an example of false cul-
ture which follows at the heels of
rumor and convention, and refuses to.
come out honestly.
"Culture is the appreciation of
things worth while," he went on. "The
understandings of our fellow beings,
the appreciation of intellectual and
spiritual existence. Culture is not only
this appreciation, but the application
of it. After the war there will be a
different idea of culture. It will be
recognized as pure humaneness, and
will be brought down to actual prac-
tice, without so much idealism and
theory. Nothing is trivial except as
we think it, and culture is the abil-
ity to recognize a thing as worth
while, no matter how trivial it may
seem."
GRADUATE NURSES
RECEIVE POSITIONS
The Red Cross Nurses' association
has succeeded in placing two members

of last year's graduating class in hos-
pitais overseas, while fourteen mem-
bers have been offered positions in
United States army cantonments pre-
paratory to doing service abroad.
The work is purely voluntary, and
each nurse is permitted to make a
statement of preferences if she con-
templates entering the army or navy
service. Having once volunteered she
ceases to be under thejurisdiction of
the Red. Cross, and subjects herself
entirely to military regulations. No
graduate nurse is ever required to go
abroad except at the dictates of her
own conscience.
Those winning overseas appoint-
ments are: Adelaide Leffingrerl, unit
64, A. E. F., and Hazel Maggs, also
with unit 64.
The following are now engaged in
work in United States army canton-
ments: Luella Burt, Camp Dodge,
Iowa; Amber Cruso, Fort Sill, Okla-
homa; Bess Harrison, Fort Tike, Ark-
an-as; Alpha Johnson, Camp Dodge;
\da Kolb, Camp Dodge; Lillian Vase-
d: Camp Dodge; Emma Rumberger,
C: Ip Custer, Michigan; Eileen Wat-
rous, unit 9, Lakewood, New Jersey;
Wilhe mina Meyer, Camp Grant, Illin-
ois; Erma Webb. Camp Grant.
Hazel Mie:r. Margaret Patrick, and
Selinda Kerolla rcced calls from the
Red Cross Nurses' association on Oct.
1, but their location has not yet been
ascertained. Ethel Cietz expects to be
assigned on Nov. 1.

CRAE CALLS PRUSSIANI
REFORMS COUNTERFEITI
AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD NO7
MISJUDGE CHANGES IN NEW
GERMAN CONSTITUTION
"Americans are much more likely
than are Europeans to be taken in by
the constitution patching that is go-
ing on in Germany," says Dr. R. T.
Crane of the political science depart-
ment. "We are accustomed to the idea
that what is written in our constitu-
tion is put there to be obeyed. No-
where else, indeed, has the written
constitution such sanctity as in the
United States and, consequently, we
are apt to overestimate the signific-
ance of alterations of the written
words.
"Three changes have been report-
ed as proposed for the German con-
stitution," states Doctor Crane. "The
sharing of the treaty-making power
with the representatives of the peo-
ple, the reichstag, may be important;
but in practice up to this time, the
reichstag has proved very weak in the'
control of those matters in which its
participation is admitted, by the con-
stitution.
"It is hard to believe that the inter-
est of the other two changes is other
than that of bare-faced deception. The
proposed provision for responsibility
of ministers to the reichstag
seems almost certain to prove simply
a dead -letter, as it remains in fact in
some other constitutions into which
it has been ostentatiously written.
"The provision that the assent of
the reichstag shall be necessary to
the declaration of war is a bit of flat
and obvious trickery. The constitu-
tion already requires the assent of
the upper chamber, the Bundesrat.
But was the consent of the Bundesrat
obtained for the declaration of wa
against Russia and France in 1914?"
asks Doctor Crane. "The constitution
at that time contained a provision,
which it is proposed still to retain,
that the kaiser alone may declare war
whenever the territory of the empire
is invaded. Both declarations in 1914
were based on alleged violations of
German territory. It is possible that
this actually occurred in the . east.
We do not know.
"As to the allegation of invasion by
the French, that has since been elab-
orately and fully disproved by the
local Germ'an officials in the district
concerned. The kaiser will have in
the future, as he had in 1914, the
power to declare war, whenever he
finds it convenient to trump up a viola-
tion of German territory.
"But far more fundamental than
those constitutional details is the fact
that in the Central Europe empire

constitutions rest legally, not upon
the will of the people, but upon the
will of the princes. Nowhere do we,
the people, ordain. Constitutions are
grants from the monarchs. And grants
may be withdrawn. The king of
Prussia may legally withdraw the con-
stitution of Prussia, as he has done in
the past. Of what real significance is
any tinkering up of the German con-
stitution in such a situation?" asks
Doctor Crane.
"Any real change in the spirit of
the German government must be bas-
ed on a fundamental change in the
source from which the constitution it-
self derives its legal authority. Such
a change as that would appear possi-
ble only through revolution."
