rises, but, on work that insures
Its as sure as the interest o a
rty bond, as most of the aircraft
racts were, a profit of 33 per cent,
to mention 600 per cent, is clear-
xtravagant. There is just as
h effort represented in the pur-
le of] a Liberty bond at four per
by a wage earner as there is in
Oing up an ironclad contract to
Ler millions of profit on less than
mual number of millions invested,
there is assuredly much more
sacrifice. The wage earner goes
.out pleasures and sometimes or-
'y comforts to lend his money to
governme'nt; the aircraft profiteer
eases his ability to provide him-
and his family with clothes, and
and entertainment.
stice Hughes certainly did not
state the case when he said that
extreme necessity for immediate
it justified the government in
rding contracts on a cost-plus-
t basis, but he did not say, and
her has anybody else said for pub-
,Ion, that the contractor was just-
in insisting on such terms. The
who has not only risked his own
but what is more precious, the
re of his little children and the
forts of his wife, will think deep
gits of such conduct-thoughts
may result in action decidedly
easant to the profiteers.

Il violations of the law against

"From what I glean from The
Daily," remarks the alumnus, "it looks
as if Michigan might have a football
game this year."'
Saturday inspection furnishes re-
lief to the recruit more profound than
week-end liberty.
INLANDER TO PUT
OUT WAR NUMBER
"Timely," is the one word which de-
scribes the Inlander for this month.
The entire number is a reflection of
the spirit of the times-the war spirit.
The publication has caught the spirit
of the boys over there. It also is get-
ting there. ' From frontispiece to the
last page of the cover, there is a spir-
it which spells, "over the top."
The frontispiece is an autographed
photograph of Michigan's man of the
hour, Major Ralph H. Durkee, the man
who is putting the S. A. T. C. man on
the map. "Knock Out," by John Mc-
Manus, '21, is the feature story. There
is just one thing left for Germany;
that is to surrender. Margaret Walsh,
'19, has astory taken from the battle-
front. She has given her story the
title, "The-Surrender of Sam." In the
story Sam does not srrender to a
Hun, however.
Julio del Toro, a man who knows
South America and its people, has
contributed an article entitled, "Latin'
America Insthe War and After."
All contributions for the Chrstmas
number should be sent to the Ann Ar-
bor Press building before Nov. 15.
All contributions forthe New Year's
number must be in before Dec. 15.
SENATE EXEMPTS EXPORTED
LUXURIES FROM EXCISE TAX
Washington, Nov. 2. - The senate
finance comittee today adopted an
amendment providing that luxuries
and semi-luxuries exported to other
countries shall not be subject to the
new excise tax of from 5 to. 20 per
cent. The exemption was especially
requested by automobile manufactur
ers. Provision was also made for re-
lief of holders of distilled spirits who
may be unable to remove their stocks
before the proposed war-time prohi-
bition law goes into effect the first of
next July.
Army Offieers to Be Tried Immediately
Washington, Nov. 2.-Prosecution of
the three army officers held by Charles
E. Hughes, in his report on the air-
craft investigation to be guilty of
dealing with corporations in which
they were financially interested is to
be started without delay, it was said
today at the department of justice.
The cases may be laid before a feder-
al grand jury in Washington.
Government to Take Over Newsprint
Washington, Nov. 2. - Chairman
Baruch of the war industries board is
considering government control of the
newsprint paper industry by which
paper will be distributed to all news-
papers in the country to protect small
newspapers. The control becomes ef-
fective Dec. 1.
Theaters Will Probably Open Saturday
Although the influenza epidemic is
gradually losing its grip on Ann Ar-
bor, the health officials do not deem
it wise to permit public gatherings to
any extent. Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city
health officer, says that the local
theaters will probably open next Sat-
urday, Nov. 9.

NAVY CALLS FOR
1,100 MEN BY NOV. 9
Washington, Nov. 2.-Another call
for 1,100 men for service in the navy
has been made by Provost General
Marshal Crowder, to entrain from 16
states and the District of Columbia by
Nov. 9. Volunteer inductions will be
accepted up to Nov. 5. If the number
needed should not be reached by the
latter date, the draft boards will fill
the deficiency by summons under ar-
rangements for applying selective ser-
vice to navy and marine corps require-
ments. This method would be used
only for the reason of avoiding unnec-,
essary disruption in the working out
of the draft.
Over 600,000 men are now in the
various branches of the navy. This
number includes tho". working on
transports and those in the shipping
and supply service. Of the above
number, 66,000, are doing specialized
work. The navy has not made use of
the selective service thus far, and
there is little doubt but that the new
quota will be filled by volunteers be-
fore the draft will have to be applied.;
GIRLS MEET STRANGERS AT
TRAINS FOR WAR SERVICE
Groups of girls from Martha Cook
building met all incoming trains and
interurbans yesterday afternoon in
behalf of the War Camp Community
service . They directed out-of-town
relatives and friends who came here
to visit members of the S. A. T. C. to
the Hostess, house and helped them
reach their different destinations. This
act of- hospitality was- invaluable to
strangers in the, city and helped-many
in finding those whom they came to
see.
