It has been instanced that in in-

Wlacy in this simile is that the

es, are none of the neighbors'

Our Latin Allies oppose it, un-;

they are right-they know their

ven including Ireland; would not
up the rumpus around a peace
that one Sicilian hamlet or gang
azilian vaqueros could produce.
e time has come to take the big

rorld cannot be excluded rrom
own affairs because less, enight-
peoples 'are also concerned in

them. And the probability Is very
strong that less advanced populations
are more trustworthy and intelligent
on the vital issues of peace than their
leaders give them credit for.
BRINGING BACK THE "EX" MEN
Large numbers of former Michigan
students who left the University to
enter the service of their country have
been discharged and many others will
be out of service before the beginning
of the second semester. Though many
of these men are undecided as to when
to return to school and even whether
they will ever return or not, nothing
has been done to bring them back.
In many cases it would merely take
a single communication from the Uni-
cversity or even from some old friend
here to decide them in favor of return-
ing. If some of them knew that they
are able to receive University credit
for their military work, in some cases
as much as 12 hours, they would not
hesitate to return as soon as possible.
In fact, all that is needed is something
to remind them of the fact that col-
lege graduates are and will be needed
more than ever and that it is to their
advantage to complete their courses
as soon as possible.
Other colleges and universities are
conducting campaigns to get former
students to return and it is time for
something along this line to be start-
ed at Michigan. The most plausible
way of accomplishing the desired end
would be for the University to send
out a circular letter welcoming the
men back and informing them con-
cerning the credit for military work.
Students could be urged to furnish
names and addresses of discharged
men. This ould be supplemented by
personal letters from students urging
the men to return.
If the University does not see fit
to take such action it could merely
make public the conditions under
which these men may come back
and trust to, students explaining them
in personal letters. In addition alumni
associations could be urged to be on
the lookout for Michigan men who are
in such a state of indecision and do
what they can to have them return.
A. great deal could be done towards
bringing men back with but a small
expenditure of effort and if nothing is
done the University and society will
be the losers.
Most freshmen seem to have grasp-
ed the idea that discarding frosh pots
is zero In disguise.. The mule hid his
ears, but couldn't resist the temptation
to make a few remarks.
People are asking what the news-
papers will find to write about if the
peace sessions are secret. That's easy.
Amsterdam and Zurich are still on the
map.
There is some talk of introducing a
constitutional amendment to prevent
apple cider and prune juice from fer-
menting.
Bad news for the unscrupulous.
The exanm questions are to be printed
in Chicago.
COUNTY RED CROSS TO HELP
FAMILIES SOLVE PROBLEMS
Problems, medical, legal, financial,
and others slightly less common are
being dealt with at present by the
home Service Section of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in Washtenaw county.
The work of this organization is pri-
marily for the families of soldiers
and sailors.
Work for a girl of 15 years of age
is desired immediately. Arrange-

ments might be made for her to live
at the place where she works, or she
will live at home and work, or she

tween 9 and 2 o'clock in the morning,

MOU-NTED PLIE EOG IE
Regina, Sask., Jan. 16. - Canada's
Scarlet Riders, the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police, who left the Dominion
to further distinguish themselves on
the battlefields of France, are to be re-
organized on a plre-war basis, accord-
ing to an announcement by govern-
ment officials.
Squadrons of the famous riders who
for years have patrolled the prairies,
mountains, forests and Arctic wastes
of Canada, will be returned from over-
seas and permitted to rejoin their old
force, which will be recruited to a
strength of 1.200 men.
Regina will continue to be general
headquarters and the territory policed
will extend from Port Arthur to Brit-
ish Columbia and far into the vast
stretches of the No Man's land of the
North. District headquarters will be
re-established at Winnipeg, Regina,
Prince Albert, Lethbridge, Edmonton,
Vancouver and Dawson. Outposts will
be established at Macleod, Battleford,
Maple Creek and Peace River.
As the war progressed, members of
the famous band who had faced death
innumerable times by daring dashes
into the wilderness after criminals, one
by one dropped out to join the over-
seas forces until the organization had
all but disbanded. Official reports have
shown that they continued their in-
trepid exploits in the war zone.
Tryouts are wanted for the ed-
itorial and business staffs of The
Michigan Daily. Editorial try..
outs call between 1 and 3 o'clock
in the afternoon; business try-
outs after 5 -o'clock.
