Who have treated me like men, *
And because of it, I want to thank "

To wish the best new year again.
For every new morning The Daily

With stor es of the men in front,
For the boys once on the campus
To send them news is a good'

Upon the stories I see,
The girls who are working with°

As a warm wish for both to be.'
Then here's to the Michigan Daily

For each day to come and go,
Because let us all hope that thi3

Peace may like a river flow.

Mr. Barbour donates to this cause so
generously because of his great desire
that the civilizations of the East and
West be knit more closely together.
Although - he is interested in many
movements toward this end, Mr. Bar-
bour feels that the plan of educating
oriental women in this country, and
sending them back to their homes, car-
rying with them in their own way
western ideas and ideals, will help
most toward making the understand-
ing between the Orient and the Occi-
dent a real one. V
In addition to this fund, Mr. Barbour
has presented $150,000 with which to
build a new residence for Michigan
women. The building will be called
Betsy Barbour house, in honor of his
mother. It will be located where West
hall now stands. Ground for the new
building will be broken next spring.

sents a vision of future beauty. The
Union has reached a point where
Michigan men may point with pride
to the great clubhouse which is to be
"For Michigan Men Everywhere." The
health service has been remodeled and
is now able to serve the students with
a greater degree of efficiency.
Developments in the line of drama-
tics have been nothing unusual. The
usual campus performances have been
given, although some have made ob-
vious the absence of much of the Un-
iversity's best talent-another condi-
tion which may be attributed to the
war god.

this significant statement:
Contribution Agreed On
"The contribution of the United
States to this pooling arrangement was
agreed upon. The contribution like-
wise of the countries associated with
the United States were determined.
This pooling arrangement guarante-
ed that full equipment of very kind
would be available to all American
troops sent to Europe during the year
1918." Looking beyond 1918 the Un-
ited States will have no need to seek
military equipment of any kind away
from home. Before the present year
ends its full war resources will have
been made available.

LIVERPOOL RAISES TOMATOES
INSTEAD OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS
Liverpool, Jan. 2.-A year ago the
city of Liverpool decided to suspend) the
cultivation of chrysanthemums in the
greenhouses attached to public parks,
and grow something useful instead.
Several acres of glass were accord-
ingly assigned to be used for tomatoes.
The result of the year's work is an-
nounced in a report just published,
which states that 10,000 pounds of
tomatoes were thus grown, all of
which were sent in weekly shipments
to about, thirty military hospitals in
the Liverpool district.

antee that every article will gi

Charles Eisenman, vice chairman :f
the supplies committee, and a retired
clothing manufacturer of Cleveland,
and Samuel M. Kaplan of New York,
one of the dollar-a-year volunteer
members, were the principal wit-
inesses.
Work of t.h, supplies committee wai
highly praised by Mr. Eisenman, who
said it had negotiated orders for sup-
plies worth $800,000,000 for the quar-
termaster general's office. He defend-
ed the committee's practice of approv-
ing contracts with firms of members.
Eisenman told the committee he had
recommended, and Quartermaster
General Sharpe had approved reduc-
ing the wool content in overcoats,
blankets, and other clothing and sub-
stituting of wool substitutes, or "shod-
dy," saying the quality was not n-
paired and that as good or better gar-
ments were secured.
