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.

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.
