Campus "Falls For" the New Indoor
Sport; Three-cent Rate
To Come
There were no spreads, no fudge par-
ties, no ukes playing, and, above all,
no knitting in the dormitories and
league houses last night. The quiet
and tension of examination week
reigned. The Maxfield Parish Fantas-
ies and Arrow collair men looked down
on a scene of unparalleled activity as
the most popular sophomore wailed,
"Oh, girls, it's 10:30 and I've writ-
ten only nine letters to Camp Custer!"
In the men's houses there was all
the activity of theslaw student just
before finals. In his pennant shroud-
ed room every man was at his desk
defying the wiles of the movie and
pool table. Freshmen were pressed
into service that they might take be-
lated letters to the post office, and
put stamps on letters, thereby increas-
ing the efficiency of the upperclass-
man who was trying to answer all
communications received since his
freshmen year.
So, with a zeal for saving, increas-
ed since the Liberty Loan and the
house party, they worked far into the
night, placing two cent stamps on the
leters. The three-cent rate on letters
was given as the cause of the unusual
"pen pushing."

PROF. R. T. CRANE
OVERLOOKS OWN
TO DECLARE
SAYS ITALY
FAILURE
WAR
"Italy's failure to declare war on
Germany is a fact which the Italians
overlook in questioning our hesitancy
in declaring war in Austro-Hungary,"
said Prof. Robert T. Crane yesterday
in discussing the alleged unrest in
Italy.
"A declaration of war does not pre-
cede hostilities today, it follows them,"
Professor Crane continued. "When
the declaration does come it announ-
ces that a state of war has existed, an
arbitrary date often being set." Prof.
Crane cited the cases of the Russo-
Japanese war, and our own declara-
tion of war on Germany last spring.
"There are many difficulties attend-
ing belligerency among nations," ad-
ded Professor Crane. "Not only are
treaties put to an end by a formal
declaration, but also all intercourse in
a commercial way. Public and pri-
vate property is left a problem, di-
plomatic relations are impossible, and
alien residents need attention.
"Other considerations possibly en-
ter into the present attitude of the ad-
,ministration, but it is largely influ-
nced by ones just discussed. It is
well to remember that war is the ex-
ception rather than the rule," Profes-
sor Crane concluded.

For the latter part of this week,
beginning today, "Happy" Lou Whit-
ney and her associate players will
offer the melodramic success, "Why
Girls Leave Home." This is one of
the biggest plays of its kind that has
ever been written and it teaches a'
great moral lesson. The production
will be sumptuously staged and the
players are especially suited to their
parts. The popular matinees on Wed-
nesday and Saturday will continue as
a special feature this week.

El Ateneo Cervantes, Michigan's re-
cently organized Spanish club, held
a well attended business meeting Tues-
day night in Lane hall.
About 50 members and applicants
for membership were present. Plans
for the year were discussed and a:
general outline of the purpose and
aims of the society was presented by
its presidbnt, Harry Stocker, '19. The
society is to produce a play in Span-
ish next semester.
The culb had a membership of 75
last semester, and indications point to
a greater membership this year, so
that there should be plenty of material
from which to select the cast. All
students are eligible for membership
who have had one year of Spanish or
are familiar with °the Spanish lan-
guage. The club will hold its second
meeting, which will be in the form of
a social, on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Inexperienced debaters will have a
golden opportunity this year to make
a place on the Varsity debating teams,
according to authorities in the ora-
torical department.-
The new rule, barring from compe-
tition men who have received four
years of college credit, cgupled with
lack of experienced debaters in the
University, will make it comparatively
easy for inexperienced men to win a
place on one of the teams.
The finals in each debating society
must take'place by Nov. 11. Six men
will be chosen from each of the so-
cieties at these finals. Students who
are not members of any society may
try out in any one of the societies by
paying a fee of 50 cents.
As usual, each member of a debating,
team this year will receive the testi-
monial of $50 and a gold medal. Mem-
bership in Delta Sigma Rho is also
open to men who make the team.
The bibliographies of material for
the first debate are now ready for dis-
tribution to those who expect to try
out. The question concerns the com-
pulsory arbitration of disputes on rail-
ways and other public service corpora-
tions. For copies of the bibliogra-
phies, students may see Prof. R. D. T.
Hollister, Mr. Ray K. Immel, or Neal
Ireland, '18L, president of the Ora-
torical association.
Camp Custer Barracks Completed
The last barracks building at Camp
Custer has been completed, and the
heating system will be finished by

At the request of the men, drill has
been carried on for the past few days
despite the soggy fields and snow..
Three machine guns have been dis-
tributed to each company and through
instruction is to be given within the
next three weeks.
Ohio State Subscribes $100,000
Columbus, 0., Oct. 31.-Liberty Loan
subscriptions raised on the Ohio State
university campus have reached the
sum of $100,000. Two $5,000 notes
were included in the sale.
Today and tomorrow the Arcade
brings to the screen for the first time,
the well known comedienne, Madge
Kennedy, in "Baby, Mine." Margaret
Mayo's celegrated farce comedy as
made into 'a picture by ,Goldyn, is
bound to prove one of the most suc-
cessful farce comedies that the
screen has ever seen. Those who
have seen Madge Kennedy's first mo-
tion picture at a private showing held
by Goldyn throughout the country,
predict that the charming little come-
dienne will be one of the world's most
popular motion picture stars within
a few months. She possesses that in-
definable feminine something which
makes for instantaneous success on
screen. If her first two pictures do
not make her the darling of movie-
going millions, many a critic will
miss his guess.

FROM THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE SUCCESS
By MARGARET MAYO
Critics go to the limit in boosting this picture:
New York Tribune:-Just as everyone had about definitely
settled in his mind yhether he preferred Marguerite Clark or
Mary Pickford, along comes Madge Kennedy and upsets all the
calculations. She is sweet, she is subtle, and her style is inimi-
table.
Cleveland Leader:-Thank heaven, here is a star who does
not gain her comedy effects by making grotesque faces, Madge
Kennedy.
Harold Edel, the alert managing director of the New York
Strand theatre, makes this significant comment: "After playing
'Baby Mine' at The Strand I would not exchange Madge Ken-
nedy, present or future, for any great existing star of the films."
New York Herald:-This new star, Madge Kennedy, will
prove a gold mine in the motion picture business. She keeps her
audiences laughing constantly.
Motion Picture News:-Madge Kennedy screens perfectly.
There is something about her screen work that reminds one at
once of Billie Burke and of the Gish sisters at their cleverest
best. She is a woman of unusual beauty and is able' to grasp
the comedy expressions perfectly.
