Unwept, Unhonored, and Unsung No, an Engineer does not run a train. He is an individual who us- ually eats left handed and in his na- tive locus looks like William S. Hart transplanted. He wears corduroy chaps and carries T squares and other impedimenta about his person. He doesn't pretend to know any- thing about Anacreon or Madame Pompadour but he is an enthusiastic devotee of open work plumbing. In his own words he is out "to make the jack." Are engineers useful in this world? Very much so. Without them there would be no laundries, no police sta- tions, no libraries, no folding beds, etc. A Medic' is an individual who car- ries a femur around as a watch charm and may frequently be seen in the wake of pussy cats on moonlight tights. He carries a bag and a bot- tle of chloroform. Yes, a Medic does lots of good in this world. Without his cemetery space would be just so much economic waste. Now a Law is a man who spends ten dollars for a book without undergoing hysterics. He sometimes wears a moustache, indulges in "Isms," is al- ways looking for. an argument, is as glib as a Chesterfield or a Morrison. He is the only man in the world who can jump his board bill without goingf in the hoosegow for it. Yes, Laws do a lot of good in this world. They keep the jails filled. A Lit, yes. He sits in class and dreams of the young onion season back In his native Lapeer. Our modesty forbids us to go further. Does he do any good in this world?

Turner. The privilege of representation in the congress may be limited to the five great powers, Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy, and Japan, and to the smaller powers which aided in, the victory; representation might be granted to the Central Powers, and as an extension to this, the doors might be thrown wide to all recognized na- tions; or, finally, all kinds of groups, nationalistic, racial, and factional, such as the Czecho-Slovaks, the Letts, Ruthenians, Jews, and even socialist, labor, and suffrage repre- sentatives might be admitted Have Only Moral Influence At any rate, says Professor Tur- ner, the only influence which faction- al parties like the Bolsheviki, and even the smaller nations around the peace table, can have upon the actual business of the congress will be the amount of persuasion that their spokesmen can exert upon the repre sentatives of the five great nations that will in reality make the deci- sions. Nothing tiut confusion could posibly result if an attempt were made to conduct the enormous busi- ness of the conference by allowing actual power to each of the many assembled nations, each clamoring for its own interests. Inner Group Must Dominate The necessity of settling the great and varied problems in the most practical and expedient way, and as quickly as. possible, precludes, ac- cording to rofessor Turner, the pos- sibility of doing without a great deal of private negotiation and se- cret agreement. He thinks it very probable that the actual policies of the conference were decided upon to a considerable extent in secret meet- ings between the great powers be- fore the first formal session began. Smaller powers no doubt negotiated in the same way to decide upon the exact demands that they would make. Thus the busines of the conference itself becomes largely a routine mat- ter of regulation and procedure and of the ratification of previously ar- ranged agreements. New Spirit Rules Conclave The chief difference between the world congress of today and the great congresses of Vienna, of Paris, and of Berlin, will not be so much a difference of method as of spirit, in Professor Turner's opinion. The ne- cessity for swift and efficient deci- sions, unhampered by petty squab- bling, and governed by the minds of men accustomed to world affairs, ex- ists today as then. But in place of the autocratic reactionism which lay behind the workings of 'past con- gresses we have today the enlight- ened spirit of progress and liberal- ism, governed by motives broad in- stead of selfish, and by motives chos- en with justice rather than expe- diency in mind. Coupled with this ,spirit, of course, is a determination to form such a concert of nations that in the future it will be impossible for any nation or group of nations to pre- cipitate a great war upon the world. AMERICA HAD LONG RANGE GUN AGAINST BIG BERTHA Detroit, Jan. 25.-Had the war lasted longer 4merica might have startled the world with a long range gun which would carry 50 miles far- ther than the famous big Bertha used by the Germans in attempting to terrify Paris. The ordnance de- partment of the United States army had almost perfected a big gun which would have had a range of 125 miles. The expense of the gun, however, would have been so great and the damage that it could have done would have been so slight, that the production of the gun in large num- bers would not have 'been practical. Chemical Honor Society Initiates Phi Lambda Upsillon, national hon- orary chemical fraternity, held its first semester initiation banquet Thursday evening at the Hotel Whitney. Dr. E. C. Lang acted as (By Associated Press) London, Jan. 25.-(British wireless) -"By the time the peace treaty is signed we shall be talking across the Atlantic by wireless," says Godfrey Isaacs, managing director of the Mar- coni Wireless Telegraph company, in an interview. "One day -in the not far distant future," he adds, "I think we shall walk about with wireless telephones attached to our bodies and we shall be able, standing say in Pic- adily Circus, to call up a friend who is flying somewhere. Or we may have an invitation by wireless telephony from a friend flying in France to join him at dinner in the evening. "Wireless telephony has been very largely used in war for communica- tion between airplanes and headquart- ers and for arti-llery work. But there is no reason why it should not be available over very much longer dis- tances." MEXICO TO DIVIDE NATIONAL LAND AMONG SMALL FARMERS (By Associated Press) Mexico City, Jan. 25.-A, project for the division of national lands of Mexico among small farmers and ranchers is expected to be presented by President Carranza to the present session of the Mexican Congress. It is proposed to organize agricultural colonies with state support and super- vision in the states of Coahuila, Nue- vo Leon, Chiapas, and Chihauhan. The plan involves the development of irrigation projects which already have'been proposed by the depart- ment of development and to comprise conservation of natural resources. Norris Bryant, '20, Returns Her Among the former University stu- dents recently dismissed from the service and who returned last week, was Norris M. Bryant, '20. He enlisted last April in a medical unit attached to an aero squadron and went over- seas in July. He was stationed in England at several different flying schools. When the armistice was signed he was sent back to Hempstead, Long Island, and was one of the few of his unit who have been dismissed. Bryant will en- ter the University at the beginning of the second semester. Army to Retain Unemployed Soldiers Washington, Jan. 25-No soldier shall be discharged from the United States army until suh time as he can ob- tain employment in civil life, accord- ing to a new order of the war de- partment. Commanding officers are ordered to make it clear to their men before demobilization that they need not be discharged until they have secured a position. Families of married men remaining in the serv- ice on account of unemployment will still receive their regular allot- ments. Use The Daily to reach the students.

Dur- ing the recent warm spell the dealers have accumulated an adequate sup- ply, though mostly of soft coal. Usu- ally at this time of yeai', railroad traffic is tied up by cold weather and snow, making shipments slow and uncertain. This season, however, the favorable conditions have expedited shipments and the supply bins are well stocked. This unusual condition has also had much to do with the reduction of the prices which have gone down 10 per cent on all grades. . There has also been a reduction of $1 a ton in the price of coke.
