These men deserve well of ourselves and all future generations of Americans. They saved the nation from disruption. They redeemed labor from slavery. They converted into a concrete, living fact what before had been held as an' abstract principle,+ namely, that all men are created free tnd equal, not equal in power and en-' dowment, but equal in their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi- ness. The men who accomnlishied these stupendous labors were true patriots; and it is ours to honor the memory of the departed and pay hom- age to those who still live. Again, today, the life of the Republic is threatened, this time from without. We have been forced into war. We face the peril which menaces all the free nations of the earth, and we have made common cause with them. To- gether we are fighting to keep the world from being throttled by a ruth- less autocratic power. The fate of democracy hangs in the balance. The freedom of the world is at stake; and, as our fathers went out in sixty-one to do battle for a righteous cause, so our sons are going out today to do bat- tle for a cause that is no whit less righteous. They are fighting to uphold the rights of humanity. They are fight- ing to save civilization from destruc- tion. Their valor and their patriotism f need no eulogy. They are worthy sons of worthy sires. One young soldier writes to his mother, "I am going to fight this war as a man, and I'l1 never come back with a stain on the name I love If I am called upon to make the supreme sanriflce, I'm going with my boots on and. a smile zn my lips. When I am across, don't worry, little mother, be- cause I want you to be proud to call me 'My son'." That spirit will win. It cannot fail to win, although the hour of victory may be delayed by the mag- nitude of the taskwhich confronts our gallant soldier and sailor lads. God bless them, and keep them true and steadfast! God help us at home to realize our responsibility, and, with wholehearted devotion, to do our part. Therefore, that we may pay a tri- bute of affection and esteem to the surviving veterans of the Civil war and of the Spanish-American war, and do honor to the memory not only of the men who gave up their lives in these wars of the past, but of the brave boys also who have fallen in the present conflict, I, Albert E. Sleeper, govern- or of the state of Michigan, do hereby issue this, niy Proclamation, and sin- cerely urge the observance of Thurs- day, May 30, 1918, as Memorial day. . I venture to express the hope that the day will be kept -in a manner con- sistent with the spirit of the occasion. It should be a day for the re-dedication of our strength and service, the renew- ed consecration of our ev'ery effort and resource, to the support of our fighting forces. And, pursuant to President Wilson's proclamation, I earnestly request the people of Michigan to observe this day as a solemn festival, and to gather in their accustomed places of wor- ship and there to offer prayers for the victory of the American armies, that a just and lasting peace maybe es- tablished throughout the world. On that day flags should be displayed at half-staff until noon, and then hoist- ed to the top of the staff. Get your StrawHat Now!

FOR SPRING CluettPeabody U Co. Inc Atakens AILROADS NEED MEN FOR SUMMER{ "It is important that we have good ansportation facilities during the r," Prof. L. M. Gram of the engi- ering college stated yesterday, "in dler to transport men and equip- ent from the production points to e sea ports. The government has ken over the railroads and is urg- g them to increase their efficiency; t they are hard pressed for men." The Pennsylvania lines have writ- n Professor Gram that they need en on divisions in Ohio, Pennsyl- nia, and Indiana. The Duluth, South ore, and Atlantic railway can use me men, this summer at Duluth. ie Big Four at Cincinnati, Ohio, ites that they need men for the immer. The "Soo" line at Minne- olfs will be able to use two or three men for the summer; and the New York lines at Taledo can also use two or three. Professor Gram states that these positions require little or no techni- cal training, so students need not hesitate to make application for the positions because they are not very far advanced. PRINCETON STUDENTS TO. BE ENROLLED IN U. S. ARMY Princeton, N. J., May 29. - Prince- ton will be turned into a military college next year, according to plans which have been worked out in con- junction with the army and navy de- partments. Beginning with the next school year, and continuing for the duration of the war, all students 18 years or over must be enlisted in the service of the United States.-They will be in uniform, under military discipline, and "detailed, inactive, for study and instruction." Students will be subject 'to call for active service before they reach the age of 21, "but only in the case of great need. After their first year, they will be allowed to go on with their academic subjects, or may take up courses similar to those at West Point or Annapolis. Gothamite Smoker To Wie Speechless A "Speechless Smoker" is the meth,- od by which the University of Muichi-; gan club of New York, composed of alumni of the University living in Gothain, is going to celebrate next Monday, June 3. The reason why the smoker is to be "speechless" is, says an advertise- ment of the affair, due to the board of governor,- of the club declaring June 3 "speechless" Monday. The advertise-, ment also admonishes prospeftive cus- tomers to buy their own smokes, as they will not be furnished them at the smoker. The entertainment is to be held at Delmonico's roof garden, corner Fifth avenue and 44th street. Admission is 50 cents for club members and their guests, but no charge is to be made for University of Michigan men in un- iform. In commenting on the "speechless" nature of the smoker, the advertise- ment says: "No long speeches to list- en to. Short stunts by our own peo- ple, table at which to sit and quaff, a roof over you, open air all around the sides, beautiful decorations, good fel- lowship." All replies to invitations should be addressed to Thurman W. Stoner, secretary of the club, at 115 Broad- way. - STUDENTS MAY AID IN WAR FARM WORK There is a great demand for stu- dents to work on Michigan farms this summer and all those who wish to work on farms may apply at the Washtenaw County farm bureau. The demand for students is much great- er now than ever before because of the fact that many of the young farm- ers are being drafted. These men have been, for the most part, hired help and, therefore, could not be ex- empted from the draft. At the present time high school boys are about the only help obtain- able by farmers. Detroit Central high school has now about 30 members of the boys' working reserve in this county, and intends to have a good many more here within eshort time. The college student makes a much better farmer than the high school student because he has been trained to apply himself more, and is, gen- erally, better developed for this kind of labor. Students will receive good pay, ranging around $50 or $60 per month. Most of the help will be needed durin the harvest season and per- sons who can register on the farm- er's emergency list should do so at once. These volunteers will probably be given work for a week or so 4t a time during the harvest season. This would be most suitable for students remaining in Ann Arbor or for those who are attending summer school. They may thus earn money and aid the country. Architectural Society Initiates Four Tau Sigma Delta, national honor- ary fraternity of architecture and al- lied arts, held its annual spring ini- tiation last night at the home of Prof. Emil Lorch, of the architectural school. The usual formal initiation banquet was done away with this year and a simple informal initiation held owing to war economy and the fact that most of the men are in war service. Four new members were in- itiated. The initiates were chosen on- the combined basis of schoolastic standings, based primarily on arch- r GEO. H. FISCHER 312 National Bank Bldg.
