The spirit had been sooth- ed into slumber by defeat. It was awakened with a jolt at Urbana and functioned well during the last three quarters of ,the garde. There is need for much of it to finish the season without defeat. Captain Steger and the rest of the team have demonstrat. ed their ability to fight against almost overwhelming odds, they have passed the first Conference game of the sea- son, and they will give all they have to make the season a success-if Mich- igan men stay behind them! THE IRISH AGAIN The spectre of a bleeding Ireland rises again to disturb the uneasy dreams of Ramsay MacDonald; the same ghost which has stalked through the dreams of every prime minister since Gladstone, marches again during the coming weeks before election, through every burrough and hamlet of England to awaken again the same dread fear of ultimate divis- ions and civil war that -has haunted that harrassed country for many years. Perhaps this is the last time that the ghost walk, perhaps this election may result in forever quiet- ing its eternal watch, but it has been pacing its ceaseless vigil through English politics for years and in all probability always will, for the troubles are so deep rooted in the religious and political prejudices of these Irish, the most tenacious peoplel in the whole world, that there seems little hope of successfully brin'ging to an end the insoluble problems of generations. .f The whole question was reopenere. by the boundary dispute between the Free State and Ulster, the northern part of Ireland which still clings to the government at Westminister, while the southern part under Presi- dent Cosgrave has made the venture of self-government which had been the dream of Irish patriots for years. It was the boundary dispute together with the recognition of Soviet Russia which cost the Labor government its position; and the Irish question, which everyone had hoped was settled in 1920, will again be an issue in the coming elections. A proper understanding of the sit- uation can depend only upon the ex- planation of some of the events lead- ing up to the situation which now exists. The Daily will, in the next few days, try to give a brief summary of some of the main points in this dis- turbing problem which faces British voters, together with a rapid survey of the history of the question. CAMPUS OPINION Anonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants. will. however, be regarded as confidential upon request. THAT MICHIGAN SPIRIT In Ann Arbor today and among Michigan men everywhere there ari three classes of opinionated individ- uals: there are those who witnessed the game either in person or on the grid-graph who. find in Saturday's game no cause for sorrow and are looking forward to the remaining games of the season with every ex- pectation of victory; there are some whose interest in the team terminated with "Red" Grange's four touchdowns in the first quarter and who find cause for regret that they took the time and money to go to the game; and finally, there is that large class of knockers who have spent the past 48 hours either discounting the efforts of the team as a whole or discriminat- ing against certain individuals. Obviously the first class of persons represents the ideal frame of mind for the student and alumni body of supporters. A defeat at the hands of a team such as that built around the now-famous Grange is no disgrace, Indeed it is doubtful if any team in the country could have stopped the dedication-mad Illini. They played with that precision and sureness which has characterized great Michi- gan and Illinois teams of past years Their success in the opening minutes of play made them invincible. It is to be expected that they will suffer no serious reverses during the course of the season unless something hap- pens to Harold and his interference. Men of Michigan must now look for- ward to the remaining tilts of the year with other strong conference teams, and hardened by experience t(, the game against the Illini next year at Ferry field. The second class of persons is hardly worth a passing comment, They are present in every undertak- ing of any magnitude and constitute usually an insignificant minority. They remain interested in a project only to the point when if begins to require something of them-then they are busy with other matters. And then there are those who will. say with the alumnus coming out of! Memorial stadium, Saturday: "Well, I guess Yost has seen his day. He didn't have a thing this afternoon." Others among the knockers are spreading wholesale criticism of the team that fought Illinois off its feet in the last three quarters of the crucial contest. They forget the power of the Illinois team, they fail to recall that Michigan had only four regular men from last year in the game, that from last year's championship team there have gone such men as Kipke, Blott,' and Muirhead and several other out- standing performers. Only when the 1 e, a speech at San Francisco. Then dis- tilling honeyed words upon the arrival of the ZR-3 to the Germans. Does that not savour of Kaiser's Bunk? Under the pretence of an autumn festival, Defense Day is held. Do you not per- ceive herein America (not Germany) brandishing the mailed fist? And America is the "Hope of the World."! Let's have done with all this rot. Come boys, think, think, think! Be courageous in your thinking too. We've had enough of war and these saber rattlers have had their day- and a sad one it; has been. No military autocracy is to dominate our lives any more than a corrupt group of poli- ticians. It is our sacred duty to re- pudiate both. Where are you? Is it Peace or War? Christ or Caes- ar? You cannot serve both-civiliza- tion demands, yea, pleads that you choose the side of Right and not that of Moloch. We are all here for an hour so let us "play the game square," just as though you were on the foot- ball field. Be a true sportsman! The student of history well knows the difficulties that attended the for- mation of our Union-a federal gov- ernment out of 13 separate, distinct, and sovereign "Countries." The same is true today of the League of Nations -'is only a more stupendous task. In time, not in our day of course, people will look back upon the foes of the League here in America as elsewhere with pity and contempt. 'Tis only a bigger union of nations that is intended-don't let anyone de- ceive you-and its purpose is peace. Think! Don't swallow the rot that iyo tread in the daily newspapers. These, unfortunately, are dominated by ister forces not unlike the sel- fish" satanic militarism that rattle its saber and stamps around. You are the Leader-to-be. Conserva- tive magazines, progressive pamphlets. and even radical tracts should all come before your eye ere you can form any sensible conclusion on any public question. Think! Don't wear "badges of cor- ruption" to advertise the administra- tion. -L' esprit d 'Amerique. IAIL ATHENE-GODDESS OF THE AMAZONS! If the women of Michigan are will- ing Jo push, crowd, stampede, and snake-dance, their way into the Union. If they are willing to carry sex equal- ity to the ultimate limit. We are will- ing to place pink cushions in the "Ladies Tap Room" and hold a pep meeting there out of pure courtesy. By the way what does that word "Courtesy" mean anyway? Vulcan. To the Editor: .I think that the local and state newspapers have disgraced them- selves by their microscopic support in behalf of the Michigan football squad. I am going to be plain. Now what encouragement do you think a foot- ball team is going to get out of such statements: 'Presence of Red Grange gives Illini advantage over the Wol- verines'? I do not for one moment overlook the strength that the Illinois team pos- sessed, but I want to say that the Michigan team was playing under a mental handicap. The prowess of Red Grange had been dwelled upon so excessively by a few carping news- papr reporters that the men who represented Michigan at Champaign were looking for a super demon in Grange before they ever started from Ann Arbor.°I admit that in Grange the Illini h4 something to be proud of, but we iave men with the same stuff in them right here in Michigan; nay, right in the men who played for us in Illinois. And I'll venture to say! that if the game could be played over, it would end with different"re- sults, and if Red Grange ever plays with the Wolverines again he is go- ing to be stopped by Michigan men. And, in my estimation, our football team did not lose the game at Cham- paign Saturday afternoon. It was lost by the unhearty supporters that should have, with a wave of enthus- lasm, carried our men over the top. -H. L. R. '27. Illinois seniors staged a "hobo parade" Saturday noon before the game. That wasn't nothin:! Michigan's parade outdistanced and out-timed it -48 hours coming and going and 400 miles in length. The word has it that we are not to dedicate Minnesota's new stadium, that honor being left to Illinois. Well, we're a little out of practice anyhow. "The Shenandoah Starts Home," says a head in the newspaper. Will that airship never stay put? The price of living rises every day -witness, the Republican budget. MUSIC AND DRAMAj "THE HERO OF SANTA MARIA" Santa Maria, evidently, is eiher a town or on the Mexican border or a village In Cuba. In any case, there have been wars off and on in such a place, and as is often the case the farce of cowards turned by circum- stance into heroes invariably leve- lops, and the country as a whole pays homage to such posems, while thei more worthy companions are uncere- moniously buried and promptly for- gotten. From such a theme the Bei Hecht comedy, which the Player's Club are te present tomorrow night in Sarah Caswell Angell Hall, developed. In the play, there is the conventionally like- able rotter who suddenly find~h him- self shoved onto a local pedastal through a queer turn of luck: before the story opens, he has run across +he country to escape conviction as a forger, and in New York, reduced to the melodramatic lower depths, has changed clothes and names with a passing tramp; the tramp, of course, dies gloriously in battle and bestows on hi's namesake h'is honor. The denouement presents the nleas- ant dilemna of such patriotic success, the irony of the situation resolving itself into the consequent effect on the boy's father, snivelling, skin-flint hyp- ocrite, say two notches below the son in his gentle art of putridity. As an antidote, however, Shaw's How He Lied To Her Husand" has been placed on the same program to remove with its brittleness the un- pleasantness sweetness of such Yankee decadence. * * * THE ORGAN RECITAL, The following program will be given by Palmer Christian, University or- ganist, Wednesday afternoon.

Ire, disappointment, and other sun- dry emotions, were manifest among the patrons of the Adelphi theater, Chi- cago, Sunday night. There was ire Ohat they should be kept waiting for three quarters of an hour while th hero was unavoidably detained. There was disappointment that the under- study in the first few minutes of the play did not display a vast amount of hidden talent and set out on a bril- lant and startling career. When the hero himself finally did appear in a moment of purposeful confusion and semi darkness, things began at once to go smoothly. Though it appearen at times that this Roland Young was not quite sincere in his passions, hi unique and effective personality made up for this other discrepancy, which we concede may have been but tem- porary. For sheer imitation, Spring Bying ton as the buxom, talky Mrs. Cady, and George Barbier as her spouse were unrivalled by the remainder of the cast. The two of them presented the Babbittt theme in ° is funny aspect most successfully and a to g e t h e r delightfully. Though the play usurped upon the ancient theme of dreams as an excuse for plot, it was done rather as a night mare than as the more cheerful sort of night life. A bit of psychology was occasionally inserted; psychology of a purely objective sort which was pri- marily funny and secondarily in- structive. "NO, NO, NANNETTE" A review, by Valentine Davies. "No, No, Nannette" is just the kind of a show to see after a football game in Urbana. It has much excellent comedy and at least a couple of tune; which you hum for a week after. It also has Louise Groody, who dances sings and carries the play along at a brisk pace thru three acts of fairly lively material. There is enough ma- terial for two good acts and there seems to be no reasonable excuse for deviating from the usual form. The plot is one of those terrifically com- plex ones which you have to think out after the show, and then see it all clearly, or almost clearly; but during the evening anyone from the stage- hands up can en'ter without seeming inconsistent. Comedy was few and far between but was worth waiting for when it arrived. Bernard Granville and Charles Winninger furnished most of it and rendered the audience semi- II I{ A - sm -=rvmw -Um - -- --AX1= For Unibersity Work You Need A REAL -wunfain Pen.

A little judicious cutting, especially in the first few minutes, and "Nannette" would be a first class musical comedy.

Crawford, whose father is principal of a Toronto Normal School, was then a junior at the University of Toronto. As evidence of his extra-curricular activity we have the fact that he was one of the founders of "Goblin ," a humor magazine which not only sur- vives but thrives. He came here dur- ing commencement week, met his chief and went from here to test the: engine of the motorboat which the party was to use in the north. Crawford was in the news twice after that. Once when there was pub- lished his letter to his father statingI that he had raised the British flag on Wrangell Island and once more, many months later, when it was discovered that he and practically all of his party had been frozen to death. All of which goes to show that the Actic ought to be abolished as soon as possible. With regard to the recent raid, the writer does not know whether the principle. of "Findin's keepin" would be recognized in any court of inter- national law.; yet, to one unskilled in law, the act of the Russians in taking back what was their own does not appear to be an act of piracy. -Norman Anning. WHAT'S THE GAME? The Sunday edition of The Daily contained a little notice of the en. trance of various athletes into the R. O. T. C. It has been quite evident for some time that the Military Man, after his great day during the war, is un- willing to resume his former position.1 Once in the saddle he uses every re-1 source or device to remain in the powerful position he acquired during the recent emergency. To further its grip upon American life, the Militaryj is doing everything in its power to enlist our spiritual leaders, our econ- omic leaders, our political leaders, by granting them commissions in the R. O. T. C. Now it appears that the, \ 1 0I - "- S , m 'I i You should select your printer with the same degree of care you would exercise in selecting your tailor.
