GRADE has arisen over the criticism of "The Dover Road", we think it only fair to break silence and voice our senti- ments. It so happens that we were' members of the audience on the night in question. The writer of Thursday's review, we find, was quite fair in hip criticism of the play and its embel- lishments. And for the entertainment between. the acts, we blush at the thought of calling it such. The piano in Angell Hall is 'a veritable tin pan, and what can be expected from what issue forth? Certainly not music. And the singer (?) It is against all principles of the singing profession, we know, not to practice a program before pre- senting it in public. And when a singer stops in the middle of his of- fering and informs his audience that he will be unable to continue, not! having sung it in two years, we think that time for banishment has arrived And it is not from "lack of mental GRAHAM'S BOTH E NDS OF THE DIAGONAL WALK . . .a,.a. ,.,. .. .,..... .,,.. ., I. nese, a people noted for their wealth in that scarce commodity-time. They call it "the game of life" thereby in- timating that it takes a lifetime to play it. Moreover, Mah Jong is a game that requires a fresh mind-a brain undevastated by the rigors of a1 hard day. In that respect, the game ranks' with some card games where the player is called upon to add, sub- tract, multiply, divide, extract the square root, and caculate the fourth dimension. A noble game truly, buti play is play and work is work in Smythe's opinion. It is true that Mah Jong is played by plenty of people who do not seema to wear out their brains playing it. Smythe has seen many games in whichI so little intellectual acumen seemed to be displayed that the participants were not really playing the game but merely playing that they were playing it. Dear Cowles: I suppose it would make you feel! bad to tell you that the funniest thing we've read in your colyum this year was the "Caesar and his Brutus" ora- tion in Sunday's Daily, but Cowles old boy, it took a round dozen clowns to write that masterpiece and you are just one lone jester. Besides look at the experience most of 'em have had writing sport dope and Sunday Mag stuff with the aid of Roget or etcetera for the Greatest Collitch Daily. We notice that you have "outraged the finest feelings of all loyal sons of our great Whatsa Mater," but a couple of loyal daughters also sign their names Now what do you make of that? Well, show 'em some of the indom- itable Michigan spirit, Cowlesy. Don't you resign unless Daugherty does.

All of Germany's trouble is appar- ently due to the fact that France is holding the Ruhr. Even the sa plight of the intellectuals, including the am- ous "Ninety Signers" is due to the Ruhr "invasion" if we may believe a statement on the front page of The! Daily yesterday. This seems strange since the find- ing of the experts is "Hundreds of new factories have been erected in all parts of Germany in the last four years" and "Germany' has built sice the ar- niistice actully nmore locomotives and: freight cars thign she needs" (New York Times). Strange that there should be no employment! Our own expert, General Dawes does - not agree with you on the Ruhr oc cupation. Will you kindly print his statement which follows: "Certainly I said it" declared Brigadier Genera: Charles G. Dawes, American member. of the first committee of experts which I has been investigating Germany's ii- nancial and economic situation, t, the A.ociated Press t fight. " rpeat t: If the French were not 1L the Ruhr we experts would not be here." "I said it as early as February 1923," General Dawes said, "I repeat- ed it to my colleagues on the commit- tee, and I am telling it to you now because I believe it.", . . . General Dawes had bsn asked by the correspondent if he was the ex- pert to whom Premiei Poincara re- ierred in addressing the Chamber of i.eputies yesterday when the Premier said that one of the experts rec'ently told a French colleague, "we should ha t been unable to reach our ,pres- ent teruts were you not in the Ruhr. Asked what he meant by his state- ment, General Dawes said he thought the Ruhr occupation had made the Germans realize that they must pay up to their capacity, which it appear- ed they had not intended to do un- til the French troops ' entered the Ruhr; also the year'q stay in the Ruhr had brought the French to un- derstand that occupation itself was not producing reparation payments and caused them to recede from the stand taken demanding enormous im- mediate sums and prepared them tc consider easier terms of settlement than previously. "Thus," General Dawes -added, "had the French not taken the Ruhr the state of mind of both the Germans and the French would have been unchang- ed and there would have been no oc- casion for the experts to meet."
