For the past three years, M. Clemen ceau has devoted all his waning ener- gies to the completion of what he con- siders the fruit of the meditations of his lifetime. He declares that it is purely philosophical and contains no single reference to great political events, but it is evident that its gen- eral nature will be similar to that of the published reflections of other na- tional and international figures. This prodigious undertaking is typ- ical of the spirit of the author. Since his entrance into public affairs, his tireless en.ergy and fearless enthus- iasm have been famous. In the course of his life he has been an agitator, a I radical, and a conservative-fighting with a strength that usually over- whelmed his enemies. The literary effort of such a personality is bound to be interesting and might even be a classic. Certainly it will be uncon- ventional. From now until ten years after the death of this Frenchman, the world will wait with bated breath. The "mir- rors" are now a back number. Thej vogue is the unpublished work con- taining remeniscences of a "Tiger" statesman. AN IDEAL With the coming of general educa- tion and enlightment for the people of America has come a corresponding sentiment that has broken down many of the barriers between the different creeds and sects of religion. The Inter-Church World Movement, while it itself a seeming failure, was the first step toward a unification of all religions which center about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America has been the sec- ond step toward a cosmopolitan re- ligion. And the recent joint service of the people of many beliefs in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York may prove to be a third great development. In the campaign. slogan for funds to complete this huge undertaking, "A house of prayer for all people," there may be seen the influence of this ever-growing tendency toward unifi- cation. At the service last Sunday Rev. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor of the Central Congregational Church, Brook lyn, was preaching in an Episcopal cathedral to an audience made up of 3;500 people including not only Epis- copalians, Baptists, Congregational- ists, Presbyterians, Methodists, and other divisions of Protestants, but also Catholics, Jews, Japanese, Chinee and Negroes. As was pointed out during the serv- ice, more similar gatherings for the purpose of worshipping Jesus Christ, the central figure of Christianityj ought to have a great influence in bringing about a vitalization of all re- ligions. uK n .nrrm;11 -- 1, CAMPUS OPINION A nonym as communications will be disr garded.

What romances are there! What{ tales of missing men, what black plots, what a panorama of worldly failures, what heartbreaks would one find could one have opened to him the stories of the letters that never ar- rive. For many of us a flavor akin to this, pervaded the fibre of your Daily offi- cial bulletin unclaimed letter list when it was first published. Consider for instance this fellow David A. Agnew, who headed the first list: Was he a deep scoundrel, deceiving his trusting family into the belief that he was cloisterde in the seat of learning--or --I see another picture, a pathetic figure-a mother mourning her man- ful little David, who started bravely from her apron strings, into the world of higher learning; only to disappear .....wiped out......some horrible accident....... or crime...... You are not responsible I know,i Mr. Editor, for the Bulletin items, or their expansion and degeneration. But someone is. This morning I picked up my Daily and turned eagerly to the list of un- claimed letters. Perhaps.... I can appreciate the desire on the, part of the University to discourage the vague addressing of letters to the general public, in its care. This morning's list contained 20 names; actually most of these were recog- nizable at once as those of faculty members. Four were full professors. Picture the reaction of the dignitary who last week addressed a letter to "F. .N. Scott, University of Michigan," when that same letter is returned to him March 22, smeared with a purple rubber stamp, "unclaimed." Very truly yours, Youngster. i .1 MUSIC AND DRAMA Something new added each day to our bargain tables. One Week Only. ||1 I I !'. !' ' F TONIGHT: "Castles in Spain," the 21st annual Junior Girls' Play at 8:U o'clock in the Whlitiney thearo. * * * "CASTLES IN SPAIN" A review, by Robert Mansfield. It is a decided pleasure to attend a performance frankly purporting to be amateur but in which almost the only evidence of such a trait exist in the spontaneous light-heartedniess with which the various players take their parts. I went to "Castles in Spain" expecting to see choruses fight their way through occasional stumbles, singing out of time, out of tune and out of breath, and forcing smiles of sickly saccharinity. Instead I thor- oughly enjoyed a quite finished pro- duction enlivened here and there by the minor and decidedly human slips which should characterize the best college show. Of the music, two numbers were especially outstanding, "Love Only Lives for Today," and "Phi Upon Dates." The former was the undeni- able hit of the show, sung by the six juvenile leads without benefit of chorus, it was recalled again and again to the frank delight of the audi- ence. "Phi Upon Dates," a catchy1 tune in itself, was made better by ex- cellent chorus work and the really un- usual dancing of Dorothy Kraus. Her number was the most profe. sional touch of the evening. To Margaret Effinger, in the part of Mr. Billings, should go the laurel for interpretation of the part assigned her. As the wary bachelor of wealth she was convincing and wholly ade- quate. Miguel, played by Alberta 01- ~en provided more sheer comedy per ) ,,than any other player, while the professors won the sympathetic amusement of the audience from the start. Some unfortunate error in the pro- gram denies me the privilege of nam- ing Mary Van Buren's touch of real pathos which added much to the charm of the second act. She "talk- ed" a song with as much real feeling as I ever recall having heard. For a moment there was the emphatic feel- ing that she had put herself too thor- oughly into her part, and that the strain had resulted in hysteria. Throughout the performance she car- ried her role of leading lady in splen- did shape. Vivacious, smiling, con- science-stricken or deeply in love, she made a wholly charming heroine. Mary Lou Miller in the part of Jose quite outdid herself. It was unfor- tunate that her effective entrance at the beginning of the second act was marred by the continued applause of the audience following the musical number which immediately preceded. She really smokes a cigarette most convincingly, and her gesture in ex- tinguishing it was laughable. Her re-1 cently acquired Spanish accent also, deserves mention. There is really some plot to "Castles in Spain." 'Ithere is litt'le enough so, that the musical numbers need not fear interference, and yet sufficient to U R A H A M 'S BOTH ENDS OF THE DIAGONAL WALK : r .. . .... .... - ds r wa r .: MAKEE MAN NSaCo!L 1EQ Look at Your Hat- Everyone Else Does We have the Latest Colors-Pearl, Silver.

It is the r tendency among the newer school of pedagogues to root for utilitarianism, but, as someone has said, there is such a thing as carrying a thing too far. Here in our own university we have at least one example of this modern educational tendency. On page 233 et seq. of the annual announcement of the College of Literature, Science andl the Arts, are named a number of courses in Military Science and Tac-- tics (M. S. and T. 1: A general course of lectures and practical work in In-; fantry Drill Regulations and Mark- I manship). Now, there is no objection to a complete and comprehensive' series of courses in rhythmic. walk- Ing and shooting one another; in fact, there are doubtless many bellicose individuals on the campus who yearn to march behind the R. O. T. C. and who, get a savage joy in presenting arms. Our point is that they should not be allowed to count toward a de- gree of Bachelor of Arts. The two things don't mix. Let us repeat that Military Science has its value (for those who appreciate it) just as much as has the study of Romance Lan- guages. Buti that they should both be squeezedl into an "Arts" curriculum seems stretching the point a bit. If the tendency continues we shall soon be graduating Bachelors of Arts with Special Distinction in Soft Shoe Dancing, and Masters of Arts in Oral Penmanship. IU-NPUBLISHED "MIRRORS" A few years ago the vogue in po- litical writing was expressed by the publication of "Mirrors of Washing-' ton," and "Mirrors of Downing Street" -books which professed to be inti- mate glimpses into the life of the statesmen of the day as viewed by a highly mysterious person whose iden- I ti+y fr,' awhile remained a secret. H1ow intimate thse reflections were is al matte;' for con iect nre. It suffices that the rading public wasted much time and energy in a. successful attempt at a disclosure of the authors.

' 'he sinking of the mighty, though abandoned, war vessel Tosa off the coast of Tosa Province on Monday morning, in accordance with the Washington Naval Agreement, truly testifies to tlhe gigantic conflict be- tween the human intelligence and human ignorance manifested in the peace movement, on the one hand, and in armament building, on the other. Although that mighty vessel, which was the result of human endeavor and wealth, had to go down by self- destruction, the public does not seem to have been moved as it should have ibeen.

The more we have the less we ap- preciate..... it is very evident that few of us appreciate how very fortunate we are in possessing Palmer Chris- tian as our University organist. Yes- terday afternoon, at the 15th concert of his Twiliglit Organ Recitals, an extremely fine prograni was presented to an almost empty auditorium.... personally, I spent a most. enjoyable afternoon. It is such a treat to be able to sfit clown and forger exams and such like things for a little while, under such pleasant circumstances. The program opened with "Allegro con fuoco" by de Boeck. Light, ro- mantic, charming. Then came a mo- ment of peace, and a poetical trans- portation away from everyday affairs. We were no longer in a large, empty auditorium, but in a dark, cool, quiet cathedral.
