As' far as appearances At,° there was not a single regret the hearts of any of them at the rting. Those of us for whom this tie town and the campus of the Un- rsity of Michigan stand for some the happiest and best-spent days of' r lives, are accustomed to leaving 0m singing "Goodbye to You, Old ate Street" over choking feelings in r throats, and this hilarity, showing ief at escaping from an unpleasant vironment, grated. But after all, it was natural. And of the older day should remember at these men have seen practically thing of)the life which has endear- everything within a flve-mile rad- s of U-hall to us, and they have seen ich of hardship 'and monotony and lling restriction which we never Lew at least until this year. And time goes on, the memory of these pleasant things will fade, for an Id, unhappy, far-off thing" grows s unhappy as it grows farther off Ld older. And perhaps then some pression of the great ringing spaces Hill auditorium as the first strains " TheVictors" biought the Uni.- rsity to its feet, some memory of a liet talk with a fellow who spoke of lichigan spirit" as if it were a re- ected and loved force in' his life, n vision of the heads bared on rry fheld for "The Yellow and the ne" will come back to the tmen who eleaving us now. Some of them ill come back to the University to sd out whether the promises held it in these moments of revelation of l heart of Michigan will be fulfilled Ktimes of peace. It is for u here make sure that they shall. OHENZOLLERN TURNS HAMLET Investigators of abnormal psychol- gy have been provided with a story at should get them on ther mettle. iliam Hohenzollern, so say reports om Copenhagen, which received Old oc Cook so cordially, has attempted Send his life. It may not be a true ory, but it is a good one; it gives )portunity for such endless philosb- hisings originating nearer the tip of e tongue than the cerebellum. "Why, that doesn't surprise me at 1," runs one line of talk. " It was eatrical and the ex-kaiser has al- ays been theatrical. How the ighty have fallen, and how fit for m to end his life when his power as broken and his pomp and circum- ances things of the past!" Then may be heard the typical law- ar, as well as the lover of poetic Lastice, bewailing that William Ho- antollern did not have sufficient mse of decency to wait and be tried afore a duly constituted internation- I tribunal and be properly put to eath by the public hangman. Also, e shall hear the sentimentalist, who ished the German people to 'testify i their recovery from moral atrophy Staking William firmly in hand, try- ows and invalided soldiers, and hav- ing a German firing squad cause his demise. Probably that would be the most dramatic ending to the Hohen- zollern, and as such should appeal to a man who rhapsodized over a daisy when his picked guards were being slaughtered by the Allied, ma- chine guns. It may be that if William Hohenzollern were to be convinced that his violent death was inevitable, and if he were given his choice, he would choose that method of meeting it. But, after all, we shall have the peo- ple who are always ready to throw cold water on a good story and an- nounce that they do not believe a word of it. They will say that the ex- kaiser never considered anybody but himself in all his life; that the sys- tem under which he lived worked with his own temperament to create in him paranoiac obsession that he really was divine, and could do no wrong. Sure- ly he must have been convinced that the German people would never turn against him when those mouthers of socialistic and brotherhood platitudes, the subsidized German socialist party leaders, huzzaed at his name during the war. They will say that an insane man would not have sufficient realiza- tion of his position to comprehend the horror in which the rest of the world holds him and that he would see no need for self-destruction. They may be the ones to utter that fond phrase: "I told you so," when the truth or untruth of the report is established. Anyway, the Nickels arcade is a mighty handy thing during a rain- storm, ,especially when you're in the S. A. T. C. and have to stand in form- ation waiting for the "dollar q day" pay envelope. When you slip on the icy pavement this winter, attempting to come up the hill from the A. A. R. R. station, be careful that you don't break any- thing more than a leg. It might give you away. It was a sad day for the sophomores when the mechanics decided to tame the war-time frosh. But it had to be done. Basketball may be a court game, no, Lucy, the judge isn't a part of the team. WOLVERINES FIND : HOME IN NEW YORK °Michigan men in the army and navy who are in or near New York City may get some Wolverine spirit by stopping in at 36 West 40th street, where the University is represented by the Michigan bureau of military re- lief. This organization has been in operation for several months, and is backed by an appropriation of $5,000,- 000 from the state legislature. It is the only enterprise of its kind under- taken by any of the states. The home- like clubhouse has met with the favor of all Michigan men in New York and the rooms are filled constantly, espec- ially on Saturday. and Sundays. The coming of peace does not mean the ending of the bureau's activities, in fact the main work remains to be done. Thousands of wounded men will soon be invalided home, and a large percentage will undoubtedly be sent to New York hospitals. The bureau will undertake to keep in close touch with these men, and. their friends and relatives. Governor Sleeper and Col. C. R. Vandercook have taken active inter- est in the enterprise. Stuart H. Per- ry of Adrian is in charge at present. ALUMN OFFICE COMPILING I LIST OF ALL MEN IN SERVICE FATHERLESS CHILDREN OF FRANCE Will you share your Christ- mas with "The Fatherless Children of France?" Who will take little Marie? Who will take little Jean? These thousands of fathers who gave their all for France and for us, had a right to expect us to give their children a chance to live-can we in Am- erica turn a deaf ear, and at Christmas time?

SHEEHAN'S ARMY AND NAVY BOOK STORE W.r I II I I According to the latest report -re- ceived from the alumni cataloguer's office, 4800 Michigan men are in the service, This Is far from the entire number of men in the service, Mr. H. L. Sensemann, editor general of the Alumni Catalogue, says. Circulars are still being received at the office at the rate of a dozen a day, and doubtless many of the circulars sent out have miscarried. In' addition to this, the men who left last year have not been circularized. This will be done as soon as the registration of last year can be compared with that of this year and the names of the men who left ascertained in this way. Mr. Sensemann estimates that at least 1,000 of the men who did not return this year are in service. Red Cross Home Nursing Classes Busy The first aid and home nursing classes which are being conducted by the civilian relief department of the Red Cross are being well attended. Each class meets twice weekly in the office in the Arcade. No more surgi- cal' dressings are being made. The department is planning to look after tubercular soldiers when they return Plan Class Dances for Next Semester Plans for a series of dances to be. given by the senior lit class are being discussed. The dates have not as yet been set, but it is probable that they will not start until after Christmas vacation. The freshmen will have a Frolic aft- er the new semester opens, the date, however, has not been stated defi- nitely. Daily want ads bring results. GO TO The Mayer-Schairor Company f 112 S.
