They claim that by doing this they are not break-t ing the strike. We must admit we fail to see their point of view, but nevertheless we i have to give in, so this will be the1 official strike issue.

The safest way, it seems to us, is to arbitrate thus: Let the lead- ers get together and agree in an amicable way that the same number shall be bumped off on each side. This is a rather sanguinary way of settling things, but after all, it will cause con- siderably less loss of property. But will it settle anything? . * * IFNIF. Lament rl 917 Packard Street.

Secretary of State Lansing also aided in nulli- fying the acts of Mr. Wilson. When the President returned to America both D ouse and Lansing got together with1 Clemenceau and Balfour, the most reactionary statesmen in England, and this little group then undid all the brilliant work of the previous session and framed the ground- word of the Versailles treaty, which was passed on the old idea of a separate military settlement, according to the dictates of Mar- shal Foch."-Stanton Coit of Lon- don before the Ethical Culture Society of Philadelphia. REGISTER President Coolidge, speaking be- fore the Daughters of the American Rtevolution, declared that the ballot box is the heart of a democratic gov- ernment and that American laxity at the polls would lead to the dest'ruc- tion of such a governing system. To- day and tomorrow the Student council will hold registration days in prepar- .tion for the campus elections- the forerunner and trainig-school for the national elections. Habits formed in college should in- fluence the actions of the future citi- Yen, and if the future citizen must vote to perpetuate democratic govern- anent, the college man should .vote today. The less desirable factions and political combines on the campus' will see to it that their members are registered, but their influence will be small if the mass of students prepare; 1o vota for qandidates who have earn- 1'd positions. Lack of interest in stu- dent government leads to poor gov- ernment, and reflects back directly on those who have neglected to fulfill their obligations at the polls. Students who have not registered will not be allowed to vote. Every Michigan man-and woman-should have his or her name on the list of those eligible to cast a ballot on 'May 12.

But one wonders a deal about this cast, pro- claimed as real bruisers picked out from Phi Beta Kappa and the Daily and a few other places, announced as types not actors, supposed to be pick- ed up almost from the streets. If Mimes and Mr. Shuter can pick up this sort of stuff from the street they should go into the business per- manently. These fellows had some- thing that no other cast has had this year, a facile, inevitable way of slip- ping into their parts and being valu-l able if only as a background. They had everything the play gave them; unforced song good enough to be pro- longed, which is unusual in campus theatre, several effective fights, friend- ly of course and only for entertain- ment but mighty good entertainment,; sailor drunkenness without seeming, effort, mob scenes without loss of realism, and each following the other without a break. Ordinarily that would have been enough. But ' to show that theyI weren't lost when separated they went on to show "Bound East for Cardiff" with its extenuated tragedy and shook all that was in it out until the end was almost a physical effort in the audience. And the surprising thing is that the men who carried the whole thing were new; Lorain Norton as' "Yank," Donald Lyons as "Driscoll," Abraham Sachs, Richard Woellhaf, Leonard Hall. Where did Mimes find them-still on the street. So much for superlatives. The first play is shocking enough to satisfy the promises of the advertising, it finds one or two gaps. But on the whole the laughs come where they should, there isn't much to blush about even if blushes could be seen. The second play has more than enough of the other sort of thing to satisfy the most rabid uplifter of campus morals. The contrast is striking. "S. S. Glencairn" is unusual in thatj it has somehow escaped the polite polished sort of thing that is so often evident in campus dramatics. * * * THE MAY FESTIVAL-VI.
