World war. The proclamation, issued
,pon the recommendation of former
)ecretary Denby and Secretary Weeks,
'while it restores citizenship to post-
war deserters, does not remit or com-
l ,tc the court martial passed upon
these men.
Ex-Secretary Denby has described
hem as men who were mere boys at.
lhe time of their desertion; that they
were not able to realize the terrible
"ou.,equence of their offences and per-
onal shame which it involved. He has
lO spoken of the sentences imposed
ilpon I eie h:arsh and severe.
The sentences were harsh. True,
these men deserted, but their desertion
did not place our land in a dangerous
position. America had been victorious
and the folly of a few homesick men
meant nothing else than violation of
military discipline. President Cool-
idge believes the sentences were harsh
and that is the reason for his pardon-
ing of them. The war is over, and
making a-man-without-a-country out
-f this sort of deserter, would only act
as a reminder of evil times and as a
means of stirring up otherwise avoid-
able animosity toward the government.
The president has acted wisely in this
case for he has foresight enough to see
.hat no good could possibly come of
keeping these men from the bonds of
citizenship.
A WILL OF WORTH
"To relieve personal distress and
sickness among the poor and needy
of Kansas City, especially among chil-
dren, such as assisting and providing
food, fresh milk, free ice, medical aid
and surgical attention and the like."
Thus the thoroughly admirable will
of .the late Jacob L. Loose of Kansas
City dispenses of the bulk of his two

WHAT IS YOUR AVERAGE

rI4,iy y sterday to the inquiries
i augal t '1icexamnple of un-
i Uiity with the llniverity camp-

pire of campus questions was cir-t

he prominent University figures

t of suchknowledge implies a lack
tterest in the University. The stu-
who cannot intelligently answer,
ranger's questions concerning the
pus lowers the stranger's -respect
Many schemes have been advanced for
he distribution and equalization of'
money and its subsequent comfort, but F
few indeed have been effectual to any
degree mainly because they require
+hat people be of uniform ability. In
ny sect or class it is inevitable that
hose of superior talent or intelligence'
will ascend on the shoulders of their
fellows to places of power and re-
sponsibility. Power in its turn intro-
l"uces control over luxurious conveni-
ences and finer. enjoyments.
Is there then a remedy? Possibly
there is one to be discerned in the
ife and death of Mr. Loose. Much
hue and cry has been raised over the
wasting of patrimonies by the heirs
of wealthy men. No doubt exists that'
those- sums diverted to the masses
would materially aid multitudes of
°'lildren in securing a happy and use-
ful manhood or wonfanhood. The in-
heritance tax is slicing enormous holes
n large legacies, but charity funds are
non-taxable. Would it not be entirely
feasible and practicable for men who
will great fortunes to reduce the
amount taxable by giving sums and,
establishing funds for charity so that
the tax would be negligible and the
imount to be given to the heir practic-
thy the same?
Ti' last is merely a suggestion:
there is no fundamentally human rea-
son why larger portions of exceedingly'
wealthy men's estates should not be
no employed. Such a course is both
'iuman and Christian. Perhaps the
path broken by Carnegie, Rockefeller
and more recently, Mr. Loose, will in
time be followed by all men who amass
extraordinary fortunes.

M. H. Carmody last night won the
annual oratorical contest.As has us-i

'armody spoke on "Patrick Henry."
The list of entries for the 'Varsity
meet this afternoon and evening is un-
isually large and comprises the best
athletes in college. The wrestling,
boxingcand fencing bouts will begin at
3 o'clock sharp and the track events
will be run off tonight.
'1lous to suggest a full four-year col-
'ege course for every man. Activities
nean little in comparison with the
-reparation for the work of a lifetime.
But we would advise those men who
are reaching the peak of their activi-
ties to consider conditions carefully.
By entering a professional school they
may endanger themselves in their
studies, or be lost to their activities.
Some exceptional students can carly
on in both fields-but they are not in
the majority. -
If a student can spare the time and
money, let him look well into the ad-
vantages of spending his full four
years in the college, remembering
that for the average student activities
must be undergraduate and collegiate.

tiful than ever. In addition there will
be numerous tuneful musical numbers
Great care is being taken to pro-
duce atmospheric lighting effects fox
the display of the two settings and
the brilliant costumes. Much time has
I been spent on the color combinations
which will be produced by overhead
lights, reflectors, colored bunch lightE

Professor Brumm of the journalism
department will have complete charge
of the production as in past years
while Helen Brown is general chair-
man of the various committees.,

at the Whitney Theatre. They con-

and have a colored cover of the same

HTNVRY FOR LNOWLEEI)(E
By A. B. A.
The argument usually put forth by
these 9,500 students who do not trouble
themselves to "welcome" or "send off"
the football team, or show their ap-
preciation of the gift of the Alumni-
the Michigan Union-by completing the
pool, and are content to see their
swimming team beaten by every team
in the Conference for want of a satis-
factory place to practice, or when their
football team has a bad year or two as
in 1918-19, start the "down with Yost
talk" and leave the Alumni the job
of bringing material to Michigan with
which to build up a football team,--is
that Michigan men are too "hungry for
knowledge" to be concerned with such
trifles.
However, the same 9,500 are on their
toes at ten minutes of twelve every day
bustling in their seats, interrupting
the lectures and getting ready for the
dash to the boarding house for the
noon meal. Hungry for knowledge :
-well, maybe--
Very depressing indeed.

"THE LAUGHING LADY," a review
by Robert Henderson.
When Ethel Barrymore opened in
New York with Sutro's "The Laughing
Lady" she received a most terrible
panning from the large majority of
critics. With one voice they ' pro-
nounced the play conventional, hack-
neyed, and unconvincing, while they
egreed that the lady herself was
stagey and stereotyped. But the play
was a success, nevertheless, and it is
an even greater success on the road.
it presents Ethel as the public likes
her, and after all, that is what counts
in the theatre.
Personally "The Laughing Lady"
seemed to me by all odds the most
satisfying vehicle the actress has re-
cently appeared in, and I have seen
her iii some five different parts. It is
true that the play for the most part is
the usual English drawing-room com-
edy of manners, but it mounts defin-
itely to a very tense, repressed climax,
and what is more important, stopsf
there. And what is still more import-
ant, it shows no signs of mock her-
oics or such a silly conclusion as blot-
ted the perfections of "Declassee."
j FROM THE DAILY
Discussion of "The New School of
Business Administration," by Prof.
Edm'und E. Day, a jiu jitsu act and
exhibition of fencing, and music by the
"Michigan Troubadours," a well-
known Ann Arbor dance orchestra,,
will be features at the University
Chamber of Commerce smoker to be
held. at 7:30 o'clock next Wednesday
night in the Assembly la'.: of the
Union.
Edgar Guest, the lad that runs the
1col for the Free Press, is getting out
a natty "Corner" every week. It's a
page that teaches the young folk to
write poetry. Thus Edgar says:
The prize verse this week is by
John N. Jenney, Mt. Clmens, 1111ish.
In pleasant and varied metre, John's
work deserves praise, although his
verse does not sound entirely sincere.
Do not allw alliteration to exercise
too much influence over your inspira-
tion, John.
In another part of the page, how-
ever, the genial Mr. Guest chats a little
too glibly about Tasso and Petrarch
and Keats and Michel Angelo. ...
