on our lives according to our several
talents, instead of giving time, and
perhaps life itself in a struggle over
the basis of society.
These considerations and many oth-
ers should make of this Thanksgiv-
ing Day more than a feast of good
things, or a joyous home-coming. It
will be both these things, but it will
also be a day of thought, of hope at
once humble and high.

THE SOCCER GAME TODAY
Michigan has not had a football
game on ThanksgivinghDay for sev-
eral years principally because a large
percentage of the students go to their
homes or those of friends who live
nearby. This year there will prob-
ably be more students in Ann Arbor
than usual on that day and though
no football game has been scheduled
there will be a game of soccer be-
tween the Cosmopolitan club team and
the Roses of Detroit, this afternoon at
Ferry field.
This game has never become prom-
inent in the United States as foot-
ball and baseball were introduced
-first and have overshadowed it. How-
ever, it is as interesting and nearly
as exciting a game to watch as real
American football. In many coun-
tries it holds the place that football
does at American colleges.
The Cosmopolitan team is made up
of 'men from many countries who
played the game for years before com-
ing to the University and are experts
at it. They have been practicing' for
today's match for some time, and
since the Roses are reputed to be
one of the best teams of Detroit, a
fast and exciting game is assured.
It is the duty and should be the
pleasure of all students who remain
here today to see the game. It is
their duty because the Cosmopolitan
club team is a Michigan organization
and in addition they should show
these men from foreign countries that
they are interested in what they are
doing. A good turnout at the game
this afternoon would show the men
on the team that the student body is
behind them and make them realize
that they are really as much a part of
the University as the American stu-
dent.
Incidentally getting out in the air
and participating in the excitement
will remove the sluggish feeling na-
tural after the proverbial Thanks-
giving dinner.
That reverberating respiratory
sound which will be heard in the air
about 3 o'clock this afternoon is the
combined sigh of Young America as
it loosens its belt.
Difficulty of extradition is at least
one of the points of likeness between
the well-known cases of Hohenzollern
and Harry K. Thaw.
A firing squad is suggested for the
guy who says this year that "he has-
n't anything to be thankful for."
For once the South American fire-
crackers got wet and refused to
go off. ,
HUNDREDS LEAVING
CUSTER EACH DAY
(Correspondence of Associated Press)
Battle Creek.-Men are being re-
turned to civilian life from Camp
,Custer at a rate of 200 or 300 a day
and, as far as can be learned, most
of them are either getting their old.
positions or are securing other work.
Through southern Michigan, Minneso-
ta, Wisconsin and the Dakotas there
is said to be plenty of farm work for
the men. A large percentage of the
men here were drawn from the farm-
ing districts of these states.
Deserters and men who have been
absent without leave are still being
dealt with on a war time basis. Most
of these men, it is said, were either
of foreign birth or parentage, One
alleged deserter drew a sentence of
25 years at Leavenworth, since the.
signing of the armistice, while one
man who was absent without leave
drew five years.
INTERESTING COLLECTIONS
SHOWN AT ZOOLOGY MUSEUM
The most unobtrusive building on
the campus, and the one most worth
visiting, stands in the shadow of Uni-
versity hall. It is filled with art
treasures from all parts of the world,
and teeming with information neces-
sary to hundreds of the students. The
museum, for such it/is, has had no
important new material for some
time, owing to the unsettled condi-
tions caused by the war. Almost ev-
.ery year, theretofore, the University
has sent expeditions to South America
for the purpose of collecting birds,
reptiles, and animals. Last year there
was no such expedition. Some stu-
dents, under the supervision of Pro-
fessor Wood, went to Berrien county
and returned with some rare birds.
The late Mr. Dodge, of Detroit, left
'the University a complete collection
of Michigan plants, These were re-
ceived in June and are expected to be
ready for exhibition shortly.
A former student, now in aviation,
'has sent a great number of insects
here from Texas and the far west. He
expects to return soon and put them
in condition to be exhibited.
At present the zoologists are work-
ing on a large collection of Chinese
frogs. Several new species have
been discovered.
The collection of oriental articles
now in the museum will be removed
'to the art collection soon, thus leav-
ing more room for the zoology, sub-
jects.
GERMAN OFFICERSI
WANT KAISER BACK'
With the American army of occupa-
tion, Nov. 27.-Prussian oficers con-
tinue to contend that they are re-
turning home with the hope of being
able to bring about the re-enstate-
ment of the former emperor to power.
The soldiers of a German division,
according to reports received by the
Americans, said they favored a mon-
archy. The ex-emperor continues to
be a popular idol. The men said they
believed William Hohenzollern would,
be returned to the throne when the!
soldiers reached home, and their in-.
fluencewas felt throughout the coun-
try.
Beyond Treves the withdrawing:
German troops are being received
with open arms by the civilians in the
villages. This is reported by Brit-
ish sjldiers reaching the American
lines.
Everywhere the Britisher, said the
civilians had strung signs of welcome
over the village streets and were re-
ceiviug the German soldiers as he-
roes.
GERMANS AND AUSTRIANS IN
SOUTH DAMAGE ALLIED SHIPSi
Buenos Aires. -- (Correspondence
of Associated Press).-A few months
ago nearly a dozen Allied vessels were.
damaged in collisions while being
taken doWn the river by licensed pil-
ots of Austrian and Greek birth. The
collisions occurred in broad daylight
and seemed so obviously premeditated
that ship agents charged they were
deliberately brought about in the in-
terests of the Germaus. A govern-
ment investigation was started, :but
no report has yet been made public.
Labor organizations delayed repair
work on them so that two of the ves-
sels are still here with no hope of
their being sea-worthy for two or
three months.

fne material. .Miss Alice Hunt, ,di-
