companying along Madison
street, two fellows, possibly students,
approached froin the opposite direc-

on the side toward us neatly paused
and walked behind his companion.
Noting such cavelierlike action, I al-
s;o stepped behind my companion, and
quite wonderfully, there was plenty
of room upon the narrow sidewalk!
My companion remarked, "That is the
first time in ages I have seen such a
thing happen in Ann Arbor." I was
wondering myself why the majority,
of students never think of such things
and I reflected that in spite of the snow
it seemed more like being in "a good
old Southern town" where gentlemen
turn out for ladies, and are courteous
and say, "Sir" to strangers;--than like
Michigan where the manners like the
north wind are hr-stile and harsh.

OT INTERVENTION fBT NEO-
TI ATION
(New York Times)
In urging his motion for a joint in-
ervention by Great Britain and the
united States in the Ruhr affair, Mr.
Lloyd George delighted in his free-
om from official responsibility. But
e cannot divest himself of responsi-
bility for a course which is plainly
mischief-making, and which is, more-
over, based on a blithe assumption
which everybody knows to be un-
founded. It is common knowledge
that the United States government has
no thought of intervening. The Brit-
ish government has officially announc-
ed that it. will do nothing to interfere
with France. The French government
has let it be known that it would re-
gard any proposal of intervention a
unfriendly. Mr. Lloyd George is per-
fectly aware of all this, so that the in-
evitable inference is that he simply
is ready to catch up any club with
u;'lich to beat Mr. Bonar Law over tie
head. Were he himself still Prime
Minister he would pour vials of re-
proach and wrath upon any politicall
leader who had taken a stand in the1
house of commons so reckless as hist
own is at present.1
What we are to watch for is the
hour not of intervention but of nego-
tiation. The French government has
from the first day of the advance into
the Ruhr declared its readiness to
come to terms with Germany. Yes-~
terday we had the statement from the
former German chancellor, Dr.
Wirth, that the whole aim of German
passive resistance to the French is to
bring about negotiations". He urged
the Cuno government not to miss the
first opportunity to open them. This
is a somewhat obscure utterance.
since France is disposed at any time
to give ear to German offers, but the
intent of it is not doubtful. It is in
line with the reports that the German
Socialists in the Ruhr are now advo-~
eating an "honorable peace" with
France on the basis of payment of
"rcasonablie reparations". These signs
of promise may not be trustworthy.,
but they point to the conclusion which
ultimately must be reached. Either
directly or indirectly, Germany will in
the end have to seek to find out what
she must do to satisfy the demands
of France under the Treaty of Ver--
sailles.
This is the last day in which to
get in that editorial for the Pi Delta
Epsilon contest. The three best man-
uscripts selected will be entered in
the national contest, so there is plen-
ty of opportunity for one so gifted to
distinguish himself both on the cam-
pus and throughout the land.
The wise student will take advan-
tage of the cold weather to get ahead
in his studies.
