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."

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.

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.

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. ,LET'S GO 3 DAYS COME.

I" (Star in "Twin Beds" and "Fair and Warmer") ---IN- 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. Arcade Theatre Today - Tomorrow, II Dr. C. W. Cook on Shoirt Furlough Dr. C. W.
