exploitation by any nation or group of
nations, will make wars of aggression
as impossible as wars ov'er. slavery
became after our Civil war..
PEACE SLACKING
After the first feeling of elation
which follows the victorious end of
the great fight, the succeeding sensa-
tion in most minds is apt to be. one
of a curious sort of depression. The
men who are in training to take ?
their places at the front will feel. it
especially. The bottom will seem to
have dropped out of things and,. as
one man expressed it, "What's the
use of practicing when there isn't
any game?" The preparations which
~are going on everywhere on so vast
a scale will give an impression of "all
dressed up and no place to go." Civ-
ilians too whose lives have been in-
vaded by war and its manifold ..de-
mands will feel a relaxation of the
strain and an unconscious tendeney- to
let up in sacrifice and effort.
But the second thought of ;every,
far-seeing person will be..that if ever?
strength of purpose, unflagging pat-
riotism, and patience were needed It
will be when the fight is over gand the
discouraging cleaning-up process be-
gins. It will be weeks before the war
preparation can be slackened, -mouths
before our armies can be brought
home, years before social re-ad just-
ments following the great struggle:
are completed.
The present United War Work .drive:
for funds- Is an example of ,the: kind
of thing which is -even.-more. impera-
tive when the time of reconstruction
is upon us. The 'kind of thing which
these organizations are doing for the
'boys must be kept up as long as they
are in France and failure on the part
of the public to support the c ampaignr
is as definitely treacherous to our
men, as it would be if they°-were years
from the conclusion of the war. Don't
slack Be~caus~e the big job is done;
there's a bigger one coming.

tion, the end oafeawrdwr n

ENGINEER WANTS TO KNOW
WHEN RESERVE CORPS WILL GO
INTO S. A. T. C.
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Kindly let me Fall attention through
the° columns of your-paper, to a con-
dition which now exists here at Mchr
igan with regard-ktot the enineering
reserve ,corps. As_"no-a a.engineer I
cannot dscuss they viepoint tof the

feel that I can 4>preptl the rthoughts,

A largeu nberia percl"amen in

last semester enllsed in rte engin-
eering reserve corps, came back to
school this fall, under the impression
that they were to be transferred to
the, S: A. T. . and were thus to go
Into active service at once. Accord-
ingly..they ,did not provide=themselves
heavily .wtb funds, or with large aup-
plies- of civilian. clothing, but were
Prepared for only a short wait. be-
fore being assigned to barracks.
Although. ,these -men :have,beep
haunting -the secretary's ofice for .In
formatioR..since Oct 1, no word other
than 'that the matter of, transfer was
in. the. hands of local authorities, hias
been given to them,. They. are told that
they will be taken care of soon, and
week after week passes and nothing
is done. In addition a notice has been.
posted saying that they will be assess-
ed, 41 cents a day until they are in the
S. A. T.C.
Now the question which is in the
ind of every reserve corps. man Is
when he will be transferred to te S.
A. T. C. If it is to be' anther mnth
before this is possible, it seems only
fair that notice to this effect be giv-
en, so that 'proper arrangements for
winter clothing, board, room, etc., caim
be made.

ing of foodstuiffs was :inreasing. Gyp-
sum and -chalk, are used to adulterate
flour,, baking powder and spices. The
bread 1of'one bakery was found to con-
tain 13 per-cent of .copper.
Some of the food profiteers are.
being sent-to prison as well as being

fined. In one. case in Dresden, a
storekeeper was --sentenced> to one,
year in prison °and to pay, a fine of
192,292 marks.

will receive a rating made by the
central bureau which is to be estab-
lished by the University and, military
authorities, and to which the instruc-
tors of the University will give month-
ly reports. containing the students'
class grades. The information thus
gathered and tabulated will have a
direct effect on the °selections ;made far
the officers' training camps..r
The personnel office will also com-
pile a considerable amount of military
records concerning each student, and
it is possible that the two bureaus
will be located in adjacent offices at
the military headquarters. Thus the
University and military records will
be immediately accessible to Major
Ralph H. Durkee when selecting men
to attend the officers' camps=
Y The exact details are now being de-
termined and it is expected that the
two bureaus will begin their respec-
tive work next week. Prof. William
F. H~thart, of the- department of
modern languages, is in charge of the
bureau on class grades.
ANNUAL,' ]EXBER SHIP DRIVE OF
ENGINEERING SOCIETY BEGUN
The Engineering society: has begun
its annual membership campaign. For
the next few days members will be
stationed throughout the° engineering
building to sign up' new men. Watch
for the blue tags.
Although the society's activities
have-been curtailed by war conditions,
plans are under way for smokers and,
other functions at which the engi-
neers can meet each other. Arrange-
ments are also being made to bring
representative engineers, here to ad-
dress the students.
