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.

Issue Editor-Benaud Sherwood ' A SERIOUS HOLIDAY The men and women of Plymouthi bany who instituted Thanksgiving y because of their great gratitude1 r an abundant harvest after the first rrible year of death and discourage-7 ent had no greater 'cause for thank-+ mness than does America today.. 1e more than four years of war d suffering which have purged the' )rld of the disease of despotism ve passed over this nation lightly,a Lying to it the vast and gracious sk of rebuilding the failing tissues d binding the open wounds of civ- zation. In the midst of thankful- as that this is so America needs to on her guard lest she forget that ich of the travail of other nations is in her behalf as well as in their rn, and that uniless she continues to ort the. spirit of sacrifice and self- rgetfulness manifested during the st year and a half, much of the re- It will be lost. True thankfulness ist be accomplished by fresh resolve d prayer for strength. We of the University have, more- er, special causes for which to give anks. The fact that we are here% all, living among the inspirations well-trained minds, fine ideals, and arty comradeships; good books, eod friends, and good pleasures; hale much of the, world is absorbed, necessary but soul-exhausting toil, a blessing which thankfulness ould move us to deserve. An epid- do which threatened to carry away+ eat numbers of us was stamped out+ ce and for all. Our old classmates e no longer daily risking their lives shell-fire and on the sea. Most of em are coming back to us. We, our- ves, after some months of read- stment, are going to be able to carry1 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. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB TO SING FOR .
