HYSTERIA VS. REASON
Prof. William Herbert Hobbs, in a
tatement on another page of this is-
ue, criticises President lson's 14
peace terms and goes so far as to call
ane of them a "German" peace term.
Well, let us consider the matter.
Get us remember that when Germany
vas winning victories her terms of
eace became arrogant; when she is'
osing, her terms have always been
nodified. In other words, she has
ounselled with herself in terms of
night alone. Therefore we distrust
xermany; we cannot deal with her as
X. member of the family of nations;
he curse of distrust, which no peace
reaty can wipe out, is visited upon
ter because she has shown in that
nanier as in others that might and
4ot right is her ideal.
President Wilson's 14 peace terms
vere stated during the dead of winter
when both sides were resting on their
.rms; there was neither victory nor
lefeat in immediate issue; they were
ormulated, therefore, under condi-
ions conducive to calmly reasoned
ustice. They were hailed by the peo-
>le of the United States and by our
klles as embodying the practical
vorking out of the Allied ideal; the
deal of right, for the weak nation as
well as the strong. None contended
hat there was more or less than that
tumanity in the terms that would
nake for enduring peace.
Now that we are winning, shall we
flay the Prussian, as Professor Hobbs
vould have us do, and jack up our
>eace terms?
Much water has passed through the
aill since those terms were stated;
he Hun 'has plunged through orgies
f.wanton destruction; has found new
arbarities to perpetrate; has caused
ndless suffering and dest'uction, in
efiance of all laws natural as well
s of the books. The load of guilt on
[un shoulders has grown so great
hat people of .our kind, of the faith-
eeping brotherhood of all the civil-
ied world outside of German-control-
d Mitteleuropa, stand aghast. Shall
Me call Wilson's peace terms "Ger-
tan" terms because of that? The Ger-
tans were guilty of equal atrocity
i kind if not in bulk before the terms
ere stated. President Wilson has
id that he would not conclude peace
ith the government responsible for
te atrocities and while Professor

obbs was calling his peace terms
German" President Wilson was reit-
rating, when each word he wrote
;elled death, possibly for thousands,
hat he would not talk peace with the
ilitary autocracy of Germany, with
,e power responsible for these crimes
gainst mankind.
"Freedom of the seas" is a "Ger-
tan" condition of peace, says Pro-;
ssor Hobbs. What does he mean
y that? He says the United States
ad England are opposed to freedom
the seas. In the name of common
nse, why? Freedom of the seas
es not mean the right to license on
te seas, to anarchy, to disregard of
ternational law on the seas. We
ent to war to demonstrate that. Are
e fighting to keep all fleets, merch-
nt or warlike from the seas, but
lose of the United States and Eng-
.nd? To ask the question is to dem-
nstrate its foolishness. Why is free-
>m of the seas a "German" condi-
on of peace?
Professor Hobbs also criticises the
tird article, which declares against
onomic leagues. His colleagues of
te economics department will tell
rofessor Hobbs that they agree with
resident Wilson, and the economics
apartment has a national reputa-

as far as it is humanly possible for
Germany to restore, the lands she has
laid waste and the loss she has
wrought on the high seas, but, above
all, a peace that will remove causes
of future wars. It is every man's priv-
ilege to criticise the acts of the Presi-
dent of the United States, but men of
discretion wait until acts have been
accomplished before criticising them.
President Wilson has not granted
Germany an armistice, nor has Presi-
dent Wilson compromised any just
claims of ourselves or our Allies, and,
if we may judge from the past, he
will not.
A MISINFORMED CRITIC
In a communication appearing in the
Detroit Free Press of Sunday, October
13, a person signing himself S. H1.
Knight criticises certain features of
the S. A. T. C. in a manner which
makes obvious his misinformation and
hasty judgment.
In the first place, Mr. Knight makes
this erroneous statement: "They (the
S. A. T. C. men) are gathered in bar-
racks and fraternity . houses, where
they have no bed or bedding except
the floor and a single blanket." To
controvert this, let us cite the true
state of affairs.
During the first few days following
the assignment of the S. A. T. C.
men to barracks, there did exist a
shortage of cots and bedding. Those
men who lacked the necessary sleep-
ing equipment werei not, however,
compelled to remain in barracks over-
night; but were dismissed so that they
might find comfortable sleeping quart-
ers.
This state of affairs is not ideal, to
be sure; but war itself is not Utopian.
The organiaztion of the S. A. T. C.
at Ann Arbor may be deficient in some
minor details, but these shortcomings
are traceable to higher sources. It is
certainly not the fault of Captain Dur-
kee and his staff that sundry items
of equipment were delayed in trans-
it.
As a whole, the members of the S.
A. T. C are satisfied with their army
life and surroundings. Their food, if
not as varied and tempting as that to
be found on the 'home table, surely is
not lacking in quantity and whole-
someness. And the absence of feather
mattresses and linen sheets causes
very few to suffer from continual loss
of sleep. Indeed, the best evidence
of the advantages of army life is the
fact that the average man on leav-
ing the service is much healthier than
he was at the time of enlistment.
Furthermore, Mr. Knight makes an-
other 'assertion which is' equally fal-
lacious: "Note the inevitable result
of colds, sickness, influenza, pneumon-
ia, and unnecessary deaths." Propor-
tionately speaking, the health condi-
tions of Ann Arbor are very good, and
there is no basis for the claim that
governmental neglect is responsible
for whatever sickness now existing
here. '
In the future, ambitious persons as-
piring to have articles of their author-
ship printed on the pages of metropol-
itan newspapers should investigate
and ascertain the true condition of
things. For the benefit of such would-
be critics, let it be said that the S.
A. T. C. men are willing to undergo
some privations and hardships if by
so doing they can aid those who are
striving for victory beyond the ocean.
The student soldiers of Ann Arbor
are learning- to accept things as they
come and to say with the French
"C'est la guerre."
After a K. P. has his table aisles
all nicely mopped up and some
thoughtless idiot comes tramping

down through ,hem he gets sympa-
thetic with mother' well known at-
titude in days gone by, when she used
to say, "Get off that floor until it's
dry! Do you think I do that just
to have you track it up again ?"
A course in how to run a furnace,
often suggested as necessary to the
education of the future householder,
has been added to the S. A. T. C.
schedule. Along with kitchen poilce,
the-training of the student soldier as
a model husband is almost complete.
In Berlin, they say, men stand in
line all day to get a cigar. The nico-
tine-fiend observes that it is no won-
der that they want peace.
Don't make a dishonorable peace
with the enemy by failing to buy a
bond.
Uoo1d Wages Digging Coal These Days
Moundsville, W. Va., Oct. 14. Dig-
ging coal is profitable work in these
war day. The last pay check handed
Charles Fogle was for 11 days work
and amounted to $169.89.' On one of
these days he loaded 30 tons and 1,700
pounds of coal, thereby earning $18.20
for eight hours labor.

WOMEN NEEDED FOR
WAR WORK ABROAD
An outline of the vacancies exist-
ing in government work for women,
and the specifications required to
meet them, has been received by Dean
Myra B. Jordan. The communication
states that serious shortages both
quantitative and qualitative exist, at
present, in the government clerical
force, and that educated women with
training in office management and
with ability to handle groups of sub-
ordinates are especially desired to
lessen the departmental pressure pro-
duced by war-time conditions.
Such women secure positions much
more easily if they have a knowledge
of stenography, but still more essen-
tial is an ability to grasp quickly the
meaning and practice of departmental
organization and "paper work." Col-
lege women who have this executive
ability are in urgent demand, as of-
ficers for the regular clerical force.
In regard to statistical positions,
the letter states that only simple sta-
tistical technique is required, but
that there are openings for a consid-
erable number of women with expert
knowledge of business, chemistry,
eiployment, health, psychology, and
similar fields.
Bacteriologists are needed by the
Surgeon General's office, and to some
extent by the Red Cross Government
bulletins report an increasing num-
ber of openings in civilian hospitals,
statand municipal boards of health,
aitd other public health organiza-
tions. In addition a considerable
number of laboratory assistants for
routine bacteriological work and a
smaller number of trained bacteriolog-
ical experts are being recruited. In
view of this need, Johns Hopkins
University is offering this fall a spe-
cial two years' course for men and
women.
The chemical warfare service of the
war department, as well as indus-
trial firms throughout the country,
are enlisting chemists and all avail-
able funds in college and universi-
ties, for advanced work on war.
chemical problems. A large series of
openings exist in rou'tine chemical
testing, for which only an elementary
college course in chemistry or even
a good high school course are suffi-
cient qualifications., From this de-
partment a call is also being issued
for dietitians, who are urgently need-
ed in the Red Cross, the food admin-
istration, and by numerous other ci-
vilian hospitals, and similar institu-
tions. Especially necessary are wom-
en with modern training and practi-
cal experience in quantity urchas -
ing, cooking, and food value . A large
number of younger women with Jes
experience will be accepted as assist-
ants.

CHORAL UNION NEEDS SINGERS;
WANTS TENORS AND BASSES
Forobvious reasons, and for the
first time in its history, the Choral
union is confronted with a serious
problem that of securing tenors and
basses. Last 'year 52 men left the
organization to enter the a'rmy.
"It has occurred to me" said Prof.
A. A. Stanley, "that there are many
men, who, for various reasons, are
doing their bit at home, and I sin-
cerely hope that those who can sing
will feel like lending their assist-
at ce this year. This applies to those
who, after singing several years, have
felt obliged to retire.
"I shall be at the School of Music
from 9:30 to 11:30 o'clock every
morning, from 3:30 to 5:30 o'clock
every afternoon, and at 6:30 o'clock
on Tuesdays."
LANDS BEING RECLAIMED FOR
SOLDIERS AFTER THE WAR
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 14. Eleven
million acres of "logged-off" timber
land on the Pacific coast might be re-
claimed and used for agricultural pur-
poses, according to the statement of
Walter H. Graves, whose appointment
by Secretary Lane as an engineer of
the Reclamation Service was r9cently
announced. Mr. Graves has been in-
structed to make a study of the large
districts of cut-over timber land in the
west for the purpose of determining its
availability, when cleared, for farms
for soldiers after the war. The land
denuded of timber would have to be
.cleared of the encumbering logs,
stumps and brush.
The redemption of this vast wilder-
ness, it is estimated, would add $2,000,-
000,000 to the farm wealth of the Pa-
cific states. The cost of clearing the
land would be less than the value of
the land if improved mechanical de-
vices were used, Mr. Graves said.
