J. Balfour, sec- retary for foreign affairs, replying in the house of commons today to a peace motion proposed by H. B. Lees- Smith, lord member for Northampton, declared: "The aims for which Great Britain entered the war were not, or are not imperialistic, or vindictive, but one and all are needed for the double purpose of the emancipation and security of Europe." Mr. Balfour asked the house to show by an overwhelming majority that "we believe in the cause in which we are struggling and which we know we can bring to a successful termina- tion. Great as are the sacrifices al- ready made, we are ready to continue them, and 'continue them indefinitely until the great, righteous and un- selfish object we have in view is se- cured. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, amid loud cheers, mov- ed closure which was carried 282 to 33. Mr. Lees-Smith's motion was then neg- atived without division. In the course of his remarks, Mr. Balfour expressed the opinion that dis- cussions of this kind did little to as- sist the object that those who started them had in view-the attainment of an honorable peace at the earliest pos- sible date. He ridiculed the idea that secret treaties existed as suggested by Mr. Lees-Smith and declared that Great Britain was not a party to any such treaty. He did not believe any such treaty existed. "It never was and is not the object of the allies to take from the German empire admittedly German territory," said Mr. Balfour, "but of couse the allies desire the restoration of Alsace- Lorraine to France. The allies," contin- ued the secretary, "are not fighting for that alone, or as an isolated ob- ject for their war aims. "We are fighting in the first place," said he, "that Europe might be free from the perpetual menace of the mil- itary party in Germany." Mr. Lees-Smith is moving his resolu- tion maintained that successive secret agreements between the allies had car- ried their war aims far beyond their original aims. He declared that the recent rumor which asserted in addi- tion to losing Alsace-Lorraine, Ger- many was to be deprived of terirtory on the left bank of the Rhine, had been confirmed in secret session of the French chamber by M. Ribot. CITY NEWS Representing Ann Arbor in Russia, Mr. Frank L. Olmstead of this city, has been stationed in one of the army Y. M. C.

MICHIGAN NAVAL MEN WIN COMMISSIONS AT GREAT LAKES Members of Ann Arbor, Unit 'lNow in Service at United States Rifle Range, Wakefield, Mass. Walter M. Simpson, '20, Curtis O. Thompson, '19, Lester L. Thompson, '19, and George Gilmore, members of the Michigan Naval militia, who left Ann Arbor for the Great Lakes train- ing camp last spring, have received commissions as gunner's mates, and are now located at the United States rifle range in Wakefield, Mass. Simpson has charge of the expert- rifleman course, C. Thompson and L. Thompson are in charge of the marks- man run and the sharpshooter course, respectively, and Gilmore is chief of the machine guns. Members of the Michigan naval unit were sent to Massachusetts during .the latter part of the summer, and from Wakefield they have been distributed throughout all parts of the East, con- ducting naval rifle ranges. Some are at Virginia Beach, Va., Charleston, S. C., and Cape May, N. J. Other groups are to be stationed in Maryland and at Philadelphia. "Y,, NEEDS MONEY FOR COMFORT OF SAMIS CAPTURED AMERICANS MUST BE SUPPLIED BY COUNTRY- MEN Because of the recent capture of 12 Sammies by Germans, the Friend- ship War fund campaigners in the colleges and cities throughout the ha- tion are speeding up their canvasses with the hope of lending all possible aid to Conrad Hoffmann, Y. M. C. A. war worker in German prison camps. "The University quota of $25,000 will be attacked with all possibl 'vig- or," declared Mr. N. C. Fetter, chair- man of the campaign. "The casualty lists and roster of our soldiers in.the barbed-wire enclosures of Germany will bring home the realization of the seriousness"of the work for war funds and give us co-operation, I am sure," continued Mr. Fetter. The Y. M. C. A. is now the only line of communication between the Americans in German camps and their relatives in this country, because the Boche authorities will recognize no other American institution. Owing to recent adjustments, it is now possible for letters and packages-to be sent to Yankee captives. "The wire-torn and muddied cloth- ing of the Americans must be sup- planted by warm overcoats and other clothing for winter, and it is for this purpose that students are asked to consider their fellow's comfort and contribute to this cause," declared Mr. Francis Bacon, '02, in discussing the campaign in Michigan. "Here is a wonderful chance for University stu- dents to directly aid these sufferers, many of them formerly in colleges and universities." At a meeting of the committee to be held at 6:45 o'clock Wednesday in the Lane hall, the team captains and their solicitors will discuss final or- ganization plans for the drive. Mr. Bacon will speak on Michigan's part in the million dollar Friendship war fund campaign. The meeting is for men only. Every Michigan man in- terested in the work of the Y. M. C. A. in camps and cantonments is urged to attend. One hundred prominent Detroiters will go to Camp Custer Friday to gain first hand information on army Y. M. C. A. work. They will be enter- tained and shown through the camp by field secretaries of the "Y." A typical day in camp has been ar- ranged in detail for the visitors and they will learn from direct observa- tion how army Y. M. C. A. work in all its departments of cantonment ser- vice is carried on. The party is a detail in the army "Y" fund drive that is now in progress throughout the country. NEW AUTOMOBILE APPARATUS ADDED TO FIRE DEPARTMENT Tests of the new automobile com- bination engine-hose truck added to Ann Arbor's fire equipment last week, have been made and have proven the machine highly satisfactory. Mr. W. F. Aitken, a mechanic employed by the American Le France company, manu- facturers of the truck, is in the city to demonstrate the machine and to instruct new drivers.- This new apparatus makes the fire department a "horseless" one. The two horses now used by the depart- ment will soon be turned out and their stables converted into a garage. An appropriation of $600 was made by the city council for this purpose but repairs are being held up for the pres- ent because the amount has been found to be insufficient for the total repairs needed. The new engine contains 1,500 feet of hose and has a pumping capacity of 800 gallons. C. J.
