PEACE? NOT YET
areful perusal of the peace speech
Prince Maximilian, German chan-
or, and of the proclamation of the
ler to his army and navy, fails to
lose the one phrase that might
,n peace. That phrase is:
We surrender unconditionally."
aximilan's speech is really a mas-
lece of indirection. An optimist
Id read anything into it that he
ied to find there. The chancellor
pts the principles of peace as set
I by President Wdison in his
ch of Sept. 27, with which the
rth Liberty Loan campaign was
ned. President Wilson stated in
speech that Germany cannot be
ted and must give guarantees of
I conduct. This followed closely
the Allied terms offered to Bul-
a, in which guarantees were in-
led, and those guarantees includ-
demobilization of the Bulgarian
y, the retirement of the Bulgarian
er within its pre-war borders and
surrender to Allied garrisons of
garian strategic points, including
ng fortified positions. If Max-
ian really accepts President Wil-
s recently expressed ideas, he must
pr'epared to let the Belgians, the
ach, the English and Americans
Bison Coblenz, Metz, Frankfort and
an or their military equivalents.
optimist might believe that Max-
ian is ready to agree to these
is, but all Maximilian asks is an
istice, the opening of negotiations,
ays nothing of unconditional sur-
Ler.
aximilian refers to the indemifica-
of Belgium in such ambiguous
is that he might later construe his
ds to mean that Belgium should
mify Germany. This sounds pre-
erous, but it is no more preposter-
than the "no indemnities, no an-
tilns," Brest-Litovsk treaty. Max-
Ian does not refer to the great
g of Alsace-Lorraine. He says
previous treaties should not be
wed to stand in the way of peace.
optimist might think he meant
the Brest-Litovsk and Rumanian
tes could be rectified under that
seology, but if Germany gains suf-
ct time by peace negotiations to
ganize her forces, Maximilian and
masters might say he referred to
e entirely extraneous treaty which
ot at issue at all.
e chancellor says that because.
views are those of all party lead-
[n Germany that Germany is now-
vernment by the people. He calm-
nores the fact that German part-
are largely controlled by funds
he imperial government and that
chancellor is still, under the basic
law of Germany, a creature of the
kaiser.
Maximilian should tell it to the
marines. They know how to answer
that kind of stuff.
On the day when the whole nation
was talking excitedly about Germany's
latest bid for clemency, Secretary Mc-
Adoo was selling bonds in the rain.
Have you bought yours?
Our soldiers make the same an-
swer to a peace offensive as to any
other kind; so should we. Let's do
our share toward making that answer
effective by buying bonds.
If the price of haircuts goes up, we
will be seeing window displays of

CAPTAIN COMENTS ON

OFFICIAS TEACH MEN
ARMY ADMINISTRATION
WASHINGTON- SHOWS SPECIAL
INTEREST IN MICHIGAN
S. A. T. C.
Michigan may pride herself on her
work done in connection with the S.
A. T. C., according to military advices.
Through the perseverance of men
connected with the mechanics' detach-
ment stationed here this spring, a plan
for handling the work of enrolling the
students in the S. A. T. C. was worked
out. A class of approximately 125
men under Sergeant-Major Fischer
was given intensive training in army
administration. The course consisted
of a series of lectures and quizzes to
fit them for the work this fall. As a
result, everything connected with the
S. A. T. C. was handled 'in a sys-
t'ematic and orderly manner. There
has been no confusion. .
Officials at Washington have shown
special interest in the way the work
was carried out here. A call was is-
sued from Washington a few days ago
for some of the men who helped per-
form the work so successfully at Mich-
igan to report at various other col-
leges to assist in the work there.

Information may be had from Flor
ence Field, '20, at 251.
Owing to the accident in Waterman
gymnasium and the influenza scare,
the junior advisor supper, freshman
party, and Women's league mass meet-
ing have been postponed.
Dean Myra B. Jordan will be at

IS
How the universities of the country
have been taken over to make the man
power of the country more efficient in
the task of "killing Germans" and
ending the war, was told by Capt.
Ralph H. Durkee, commandant of the
students' army training corps, at a
meeting of the non-commissioned ofli-
cers held recently in University Hall.
Captain Durkee called his- non-com-
missioned officers together to give,
them the outline of their duties, re-
sponsibilities, and opportun ties.
Assigned to Barracks In Two Hours
"Who of you would have thought
one year ago today that you would be
in the army?" asked Captain Durkee
in the course of this talk. "Already
you have been impressed with the ef-
ficiency with which the army is being
run. You reported for induction at
1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and in
less than two hours you were all in
barracks, assigned to companies and
ready to begin training. That was not
to the credit of any one particular
person here. It was Just the working
of the entire military system, Every-
thing is done that way. The sooner
you fit yourselves into that machine,
the sooner the war will be won."
Captain Durkee went on to tell of
the calls made on this unit of high-
class men, far more than can be met.
He denoug ed in the same connection
the type of'"super-soldier."
German Superman Turned Brute
"Germany -developed a superman,"
he said, "but he turned out to be a
brute. America has no use for that
type,,
Captain Durkee inspired a cheer
which could be heard all over the
campus when he said, "One reason we
are all here is to make us more effi-
cient so we can kill more Germans.
We're out after them."
The qualities required of an of-
ficer and the way in which the candi-
date is rated were spoken of, and Cap-
tain Durkee assured the men that
they would be given every opportunity
for advancement. He also spoke of the
value of optimism and the moral ef-
fect on a unit of having good, cheer-
ful, and efficient non-commissioned of-
cers.
University Lacks Men for Odd Jobs
One of the immediate effects of most
of the men of the university being in'
the S. A. T. C. is the lack of men on
the campus to do odd Jobs. People
who have heretofore depended on the
college men for raking their leaves,
.caring for furnaces and the like, must
do this work themselves or let it go
undone, as the University Y. M. C. A.
which has been acting as job-broker,
states that no men are available for
these duties.

Owing to the danger from Spanish
influenza, the nurses of the University
hospital are being required to wear
several thicknesses of gauze over the
lower part of the face while attend-
ing patients. The gauze, which is
worn somewhat like a gas mask, pre-
vents the inhalation of germs through
the nose and mouth, but admits
enough air for breathing purposes.
Doctors and fatients, also, are wear-
ing the masks.
Women's League Meeting Postponed
The big mass meeting of the Wom-
en's league, which was scheduled for
tonight as the climatic event in the'
organization's 100 per cent member-
ship campaign, has been postponed in-
definitely on account of the epidemic
of grippe. Doris McDonald, president
of the league, says that all plans for
the gathering have been perfected.

All men, including late-comers, were
assigned to definite barracks today.
Each battalion was assigned its!
drilling ground on Ferry field this
morning.
Bed-sacks have been loaned to the
members of the S. A. T. C. at the Yp'si-
lanti normal school.
Classes will start at 9 o'clock this
morning, instead of 7:30 o'clock as
formerly. The men are to receive
another antiseptic nose wash.
A supply of 9,000 blankets has been
received for members of the S. A. T.
C. This assures an adequate supply
for all. Approximately 12 pounds of
blankets are allotted to each man.
This usually amounts to three blank-
ets.
Members of the S. A. T. C. will pre-
sent absence excuses to their officers
instead of to the attendance committee
this year, according to a statement
made yesterday. As heretofore, the
students will be required to do all of
the course in .order to secure a satis-
factory grade, and all absences will
be reported to military commanders.
JUNIOR ADVISORS' SUPPER
POSTPONED INDEFINITELY
The junior advisor's supper and
Dean Myra B. Jordan's tea, which
were to have been given yesterday
afternoon and evening in Barbour.
gymnasium, have been indefinitely
postponed at the request of President
Hutchins. The accident in Waterman
gymnasium, and the desire of Uni-
versity authorities to prevent an in-
fluenza epidemic by cancelling stu-
dent gatherings were given as the
cause for the decision.
These two annual events which have
become traditional among the wom-
en of the University, will not be given
up entirely, according to Dean Jordan.
Their date has simply been set indefi-
nitely ahead, pending the development
of a more favorable situation.
The question of disposing of the
large amount of food which had been
prepared to serve 400 people was
solved by the dietitian of Martha
Cook building, who purchased it for
use there.
