WILSON ~1 NEUTRALITY PACTS Now that Russia has completed the five year treaty with Lithuania, which pledges the two countries to non-ag- gressio and neutrality Ii the event of the other party to the treaty being at;ko by'a third power, the hopes of th statesmen who have been striving for a Baltic Union apparently have been dashed on the rocks. To Russia. the past is a great strategic prize, in view of constant rumors that the Pilsudski government contemplates aggressive action against her, for id suck a4i ventuality the fri,-ld shipD and' pledged neutrality of Li 'pia would bE bf marked value, and the freaty is.,undoibtedly a link in a series: of such' pacts which each of the Baltid states hopes to consum- mate with Riussia, inow that the pro- posed Unioti has been 'defeated. However, due to the peculiar posi- tion of Poland, such a proceedure can, scarcely be effective and in time is likely to lead to other difficulties, for the treaty which was signed by Russia and Lithuania indicates that if the other negotiations are successful, Poland will be placed in an isolated position from her northern neighbors, for the Russo-Lithuanian treaty is based on a recognition of the Li- thuanian title to Vilna, which was captured from Lithuana by Poland in 1921 when Marshal Pilsudski, the present master of Poland, was presi- dent of the country. It is therefore obvious that it would be excee4ingly difficult for Poland and Russia to come'to any agreement unless Poland would ibe willing to relinquish her claim to Vilna, which she probably' would not do. Further, the Soviet monopoly of foreign trade is proving an obstacle in bringing Finland, Esthonia and Latvia together, as Russia intimated quite recently to Esthonia that there were several large contracts which might be thrown her way if the union project. was -not revived. Although this country has not made her reply, in the present state of her finances and industry, it probably would take a very tempting offer to make her de- cline the contracts. So the international eye is being turned toward the Baltic states to see what the outcome of the neutrality its repetition. France, however, has been not only willing but seemingly anxious at times to affront the Ger- mans and the German people, in spite] of the fact that the Germans have1 established a republic and attempted1 in every way to become trustworthy citizens of this universe; the latest attack, which occurred in Premier Wincare's address to the French Dis- abled War Veterans annual conven- tion, is so unreasonable and so un- worthy of the head of a great state as to be almost disgusting. "We cannot forget," he said, "that we were invaded across the soil of a neutral country and that war was de- clared upon us, and that the war was prosecuted with pitiless cruelty under orders from the imperial general staff." These facts are all true, no doubt, but when a nation shows re- grets for its actions, at least attempts to make amends for its mistakes, should the fact that she erred con- stantly be thrust before her? Should the already bleeding wound in her side be made more angry, and should she be egged on until she again com- mits some breach of , international etiquette. An attitude of helpfullness on the part of France would assist considerably in keeping international concord. The ironical climax of the speech came in the last paragraph when Poincare refused to state whether or not France would pay her war debts, following which the president of the veterans' association imploied the members to vote for men who were opposed to acknowledging the French debts to the United States and Eng- land. Germany has been paying her debt for five years; by much better rea- soning than that pf Poincare, we can draw reasonably sound conclusions as to which nation is at present perform- ing the most worthwhile role. The present is the matter of the most im- portance. The Marne, Vimy Ridge, and Belleau Wood are in the past, dead and useless,- and this fact should be realized. Peace should be pre- served at the expense of forgetting the past. Words such as those uttered by Poincare are dangerous missiles- possible consequences seem forboding. STRIKELESS FACTORIES In the year 1742, two ambitious men founded, in what is now the town of High Bridge, New Jersey, the Allen- Turner Iron and Steel company to manufacture hardware and tools for colonial farmer. Today the company is one of the larger and more prosper- ous mills of the East and for almost two centuries has had a worthy hi tory. During the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, the Civil war, the Spanish-American war, and the recent World war, the factory worked night and day to supply the government with ammunition. Perhaps one of the reasons why the concern is thriving and prosperous today when others have failed during its 184 years of life is because it has never had a strike. As such it is unique. The reasons for this are compara- tively simple. The first is that the company has always been controlled by men who lived near and with the workmen, understood their problems, and applied the "golden rule" to fac- tory management. The second is that neither executives or workmen toler- ate any titular or class distinctions. Employees just work for "our fac- tory." The third is that workmen and administrative heads alike enter the company's service, to take the places of their fathers and carry on the fam- fly traditions. Some years ago a young efficiency expert thought it advisable to form a factory council composed of repre- sentatives of officers and workmen, to forestall any possible strike by airing grievances before they became dangerous. The council met a few times and then found a grievance.. It was the council. The workmen' de- cided it was unnecessary and a time- waster. It was abolished and a vote of confidence given the management. Perhaps that will indicate why this factory has never had a strike. It is exceedingly interesting after all the talk about industrial warfare, of "employer-employee antagonism," and an "eat or be eaten" attitude, to find an ideal factory community thriv- ing like High Bridge. It offers unusual opportunities for social study and influence the public press holds over its readers, we pass on to you thisc news. We understand that a farmerr lad drove up to a sorority in his1 horse and buggy lastinight, and when£ he arrived at the door he found the I whole house waiting with their pret- tiest smiles. They invited him in, and gave him a seat of honor. There was a noticeable lack of sisterly love as they crowded around him. After the flood of feminine conversation hadr subsided a little, the young man made] bold to remark, "I came to see if may- be you needed some nice fresh vegeta- bles. I have onions, spinach.." But I the audience had fainted. * * * WARNING! ROLLS feels that it is in a way to blame for this accident, and hereby warns all co-eds to re- member that there are imposters at work. * * * HORSE MARINES RECRUIT In line with the present popular "Back to Buggies" movement, it is natural that an organization be form- ed to encourage the idea. And thus it is that ROLLS is pleased to announce that a new club will soon make its appearance on this campus: "THE HORSE MARINES." * * * Under the able leadership of Icabod Ixzo, '42, formerly admiral of the Dead Sea fleet of the Mexican navy, the HORSE MARINES will be an active group seeking for the best in- terests of the campus and University. Recruiting will begin immediately. For the present, headquarters will be maintained in the Zoology Museum. Later the club will hold a campaign for funds to build themselves a club- house. It is expected that this will be built on the site of the proposee Women's league building. Admiral Ixzo believes that the club could se- cure a 99 year lease, the property to be vacated in pletny of time for the erection of the League building. "* " No experience in horsemanship is necessary for membership. Horse and rider can start out in training together. Admiral Ixso is a prince of a fellow, and can't ride very well himself. The rainy weather we have had lately is taken as an omen of great import by Admiral Ixzo, who says that it is just the thing for training a fine bunch of Horse Marines. * * * TO THE HORSE MARINES It may rain Or it may shine But the Horse Marines Will take their time. * * * No puns will be accepted by this department on the Marines being "all wet,' because that wouldn't be true. The Horse Marines always carry umbrellas instead of guns. * * * METROPOLITAN MATERIAL As the second program in a series of concert throughout the middle-west Barre-Hill, '26, will appear in a joint recital in Hill auditorium on October 19 at the Michigan Federation of Mu- sic clubs. The return of this talented baritone will be one of the outstand- ing events of the early musical sea- son. This will be perhaps his only appearance in Ann Arbor during the year due to his completed program of engagements. Barre-Hill will be remembered for his work in musical and dramatic cir- cles on the Michigan campus. Bei a member of Mimes, Comedy Club and other musical and dramatic or- ganizations he was a prominent figure during his University career. His dramatic activites included appear- ances in the first Mimes production of Gilbert's "Engaged" last year and Comedy Club's "Outward Bound" of the year before, while he was also prominently cast in three Union oper-j as, "Cotton Stockings," "Tickled To' Death" and "Tambourine." He was also a soloist with the Michigan Glee Club for three years both for local appearances and on tour, while he was also vocal soloist for the Michigan Band. .Mr. Hill's season opens next Sun- day when he will be soloist in the Metropolitan Methodist church in De- troit, while immediately after he will leave for Akron, Ohio, where he will appear in a joint recital with Palner- Christian, University of Michigan or- ganist. His next appearance will be in Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor while on October 26 he has been engaged to give a recital in Kimball hall Chicago. Mr. Hill has previously given recitals in Chicago, Akron and Ann Arbor and his return to these cities indicates a cordial reception there. In November he will begin an ex- tensive tour of the southwest return- ing to Detroit to be a soloist with the Detroit Symphony orchestra on De- cember 19. This is a distinct honor for so young an artist.gOutstanding concerts during the spring will be his appearance with the Chicago Symph- ony orchestraat the biennial conven- tion of the 'National Confederation of Music Clubs which will be held in Chicago. Theodore Harrison, another prominent Ann Arbor singer and Ar- thur Craft as well as other nationally known artists will appear on the pro- gram in a rendition of Kelley's "Pil- grim's Progress." In April he will be a soloist at the Apollo Club in Chi- cago.

This country was settled by the horse and wagon. As our forefathers rode in their wagons over the present site of Chicago, they dodged the ar-1 rows of Indians, even as today good citizens there drive through in their autos, dodging bullets. Why should we scorn the agency that brought our forefathers away from Boston, from New York and the East in general? We should be grateful to the horse and wagon! Abraham Lincoln drove a horse and buggy. And it carried: him to the. White House. Better go to the White House in a horse and, buggy than to go to the poor house in a Packard. Let's go back to bug- gies! * * * Another thing about buggiest if you' train the horse, you don't have to wor- ry about getting arrested for parking. Just turn the horse loose, and let it' walk around the block a few times. * * * THE DETROIT THEATERS The Detroit theaters offer a diver- sity of attractions beginning next week with the advent of two New York musical comedies with supposed- ly intact casts, while revivals of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas also are experiencing a temporary vogue. The new comedies are "Tip Toes" at the New Detroit which is closing "Ben Hur," while the Cass theater which is finishing a run of "Princess Flavia" begins "Queen High." The Shubert-Lafayette closes "The Mi- kado" and inaugurates "Pinafore"- also a Gilbert and Sullivan opera. "At Mrs. Beam's C. K. Munro's London success may be seen at the Bonstelle Playhouse and "Square Crooks" is playing a limited engagement at the Garrick. The Shubert Detroit with another "original New York company" sign out is running the Earl Carroll "Vanities." * * * "Queen High" which has been heralded 'as the "Ace of Musical Com- edies" comes to the Cass theater Sun- day evening, October 3rd, with a well- known cast of players that are headed by two favorites, Julia Sanderson and Frank Crumit. Laurence Schwab who produced "The Gingham Girl," "Sweet Little Devil" and "Captain Jinks" is like- wise the sponsor of "Queen High" and Mr. Schwab in association with B. G. DeSylva is responsible for the book and lyrics, while Lewis E. Gens- ler has written the many song hits and dance numbers. The book was staged by Edgar Mac- Gregor who is general stage director for A. L. Erlanger and the musical numbers were devised by Sammy Lee, who has in the past staged such mu- sical comedies as "The Cocoanuts," "No, No. Nanette" and many others. Not since "Kick In" has there ap- peared as entertaining a crook drama as "Square Crooks" by James Judge, I r .r BUGGY GRAMS "NAPOLEON RODE THIS NAG AT WATERLOO." 1 f i I ' - !I
