of Condolence Mailed
Memorials to fathers and mothers,
wives or next of kin, to the Univer-
sity of Michigan students and alumni
who lost their lives in the European
war are being' sent out by the Uni-
versity. Efforts are being made to
make the list as accurate as possible
and the committee announces that in
so far as they possibly can a memo-
rial will be sent to .the relatives of
every man connected with the Univer-
sity who wore the military or naval,

morial reads:
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
In Memory of
To-(Names of parents or next, of
kin).
The Regents of the University of
Michigan take this means of convey-
ing to you their profound sympathy in
the loss of one who was near to you.
A loss of life like this is irreparable,
but it may console you in some manner
to know that the University shares in
your sorrow, and that it adds this
name to the roll of those who in the
Great War gave their lives to the
country. It is by such splendid ex-
amples of, loyalty and self sacrifice
that the fine tradition of the Univer-
sity is strengthened and perpetu
ated."

CARVER HEARD BY
COMMERCE CLUB
Prof. Harry C. Carver spoke to the
members of the Commerce club last
night in room 306 of the Union on the
subject of "Insurance Against the
Workman's Conmpensation Laws, for
Corporations," He explained the sys-
tem of machine acounting employed
in collecting statistics by large insur-
ance companies, as well as , in the
tabulation of the national census.
He also described the method of
computing premiums for various in-
dustrLes, and the advantages which a
company derives from taking out a
policy covering its entire payroll. That
the service given by an insurance'
company to a number of industries
materially decreases the number of
injuries and deaths through accident,
was shown by the speaker.
This was the first of a'series of talks
'to be given before the Commerce club
by" men who are intimately' connected
with the business world.

ELKIND, '19,.PLANS ;EXTENSION
WORK OF COSMOPOLITAN CLUB
Discussion concerning the proposed
system for the collection of class
dues terminated last night at the
meeting of the Student council in the
appointment of a committee to further
investigate the matter and render a
report at the next meeting. "The com-
mittee consists of G. D. Anderson, '20,
L. R.2,Birth, 20D, and LeGrand E.
Gaines, '21E.
Under the suggested_ system the
class dues will be included in the reg-
istration fee at the beginning of each
semester and will be held in trust by
'the treasurer of the University for the
classes. In this manner the class
treasurers will be relieved of all the
difficulty usually encountered in col-
lecting the dues and will be able to
draw money under a voucher system.
Matter Not New
Considerable attention was paid to
this new plan by the council last
spring but the matter was dropped and
. -eappearance of late has caused it
to te considered more seriously.
The opinion of the council was de-
cidedly in favor of this plan and the
members also approved that the ac-
cumulated funds should eventually be
used for the establishment of scholar-
ships.
Dates to Be Set
Plans for the semester were dis-
cussed and a committee was appoint-
ed to set dates for Cap night, the
Spring games, Swing-out, and the All-
campus election. Grayson W. Gill,
'20A, was sworn in as a council mem-
ber and F.' J. Petty, '20, was elected
recording secretary.
MONARCHY TO DEMOCRACY IN
INDUSTRY, HOLMES' SUBJECT
Unitarian Pastor Believes F'ormation
of Third Party Will End
Unrest of Masses
Dr. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of
the Unitarian Community church of+
New York City, and editor of the
"World of Tomorrow," spoke before
the Intercollegiate Socialist society7
last night in Natural Science auditor-
ium. "From Monarchy to Democracy
in Industry" was his subject.
"The economic world should' follow
the road of the political world and
throw off the rule 'of the benevolent+
despots," said' Dr. Holmes. "An indus-
trial Magna Charta has been given the
workers in England and a similar so-
lution must come here. The formingi
of a third party and the putting ofI
that party in power by the workers
would prevent unthinking action byw
the masses." .
After the lecture an open discus-I
sion was held, the speaker answering
questions from 'his audience.
AEROPLANES N FORESTRY
TOPIC OF ANDREWS' TALK
"Aeroplanes in Forestry" was thet
subject of a talk given by Mr. H. J.
Andrews of the forestry departmentI
before the Forestry club last night.
Preceding th talk a short businessI
meeting was held. A committee re-I
ported on the preliminary arrange-I
ments\ which have been made for aI
Forestry club dance to be given prob-4
ably on Friday, March 1i.
Members of the faculty of the Uni-
versity are co-operating with the Y.
M. C. A. in.its campaign this week for
religious education and financial sup-
port from every man on the campus.
Several of the leading professors
have bee} secured by the "Y" to ad-
dress the various student organiza-
tions on the purposes of the move-
ment, among whom are Prof. W. C.
Hoad of the engineering~ college, Dr.
C. Carl Huber, and Prof. Louis C.
Karpinski, of the mathematics depart-
ment. ,
"Y" Starts New Policy
J. Erwin Goodwillie, '20E, execu-
tive chairman of the campaign, said in
reference to the movement: "The
'Y' is beginning the policy of serving
as a unifying force in the religious
life of the campus, rather than as an
independent agency, as in the past.
Funds to the extent of $5,000 are to be
raised by a general canvass of the
University students and those mem-
bers of the faculties who did not con-
tribute to the Ann Arbor community
budget.. The amount requested of the
students is small in comparison to the
funds required by other universities.
Cornell alone is out after $10,000."
Employment Bureau Busy
According to a recently issued re-
port on the activities of the Univer-
sity "Y", its employment bureau has
given jobs to 1,387 students since Sep-
tember. The bulletin states that one
of the chief policies of the "Y" is to
promote sectional clubs as a means
of bfinging Michigan in closer touch
with otherparts of the country.
Changes In Courses
Prof. M. P. Tilley will meet his
class in English 4a (Shakespeare) at

11 o'clock Tuesdays and Thursdays in

44t' Waslitg4, Feb. A - President
Fi' Wilson's extende dillnss and the at-
tendant dise#s4 as to whether he'
waa incapacitated f4 'entinuing his
' duties gave ige today to two propos-
als in the house to clarity and supple-
ment in constitutional provisions on
the subject.
It was made clear, however, that
neither proposal was aimed at Presi-
-dent .Wilson, the intent being to. de-
Oeff the procedure for future emerg-
ency, beyond any possiblity of mis-
conception or partisan action.
The lirat proposal was in the form
'of a resolution for a constitutional
amendment, introduced by Represent-
ative Fss, of Ohio, chairman of the
Republican, congressional committee,
proposing to have the supreme court
determine the ability of a president to
discharge his duties, whenever author-
ized by. a condurrent resolution of
congress.
Virtually the same procedure was
outlined in a bill introduced by Rep-
resentative Rogers, Republican of
Massachusetts, and referred to the
judiciary committee along with the
Fess resolution,
