THE MICHIGAN DAILY __________ him far better able to judge of the situation than are we. But it is pos- sible that his condemnation is a litttle. iea sweeping. It is true that the develop- dis- ments of the past few days have been edit- ews entirely contradictory to our own opinion but the charge of radicalism r of seems hardly 'warranted. cept What The Daily did was to present r as two alternatives; with this the best informed can surely not take excep- tion. Led by our own optimism, we ords then drew the conclusion that the pub- the more favorable of the two was prob- rbor ably true-and certainly indications west the at the time made this conclusion by each no means ridiculous. :itor We are also in doubt as to just ager why this frank expression of opinion Jr. is likely to "enfeeble our purpose ilson in the war. In our humble judgment. ,Jr. aney optimism is entirely necessary to ghell firmness. oley Nevertheless, The Daily is quite ager willing to apologize for the editorial ager if necessary; it was not our purpose ager to foist our own ideas upon the cam- Lager - pus but rather to give them out go >bell that those who desired might accept tlas them.

LIBRARY ASKS FOR MORE BOOKS FOR ENLISTED MEN Books for soldiers are still wanted by the General Library. Last semest- er's text-books, it has been suggest- ed, would be especially welcomed. Very few volumes of any kind have been brought to the Library lately, although the demand is as great as ever. Old magazines are continually be-1 ing received at the office in the base- ment of the Library building. Very few of these periodicals are sent on. to the cantonments, as the the camp libraries report that they do not need any except recent numbers. Engineers may leave books at the library in the Engineering building. Technical works are especially called for, but few engineers have contri- buted any of them.

A reading of the editorial in ques- tion left the impression that the great majority of political observers every- where are hopelessly wrong with re- ference to Lenine and other Bolshe- vist spokesmen, whereas the editors of The Daily, after some days of mental anguish, have fortunately reached the correct solution. And this solution, which could not have been better stated by Bolsheviki of Petrograd, New York, ortChicago, is nothing less astonishing than that Lenine is a statesman of the hl'hest order of genius, who is preparing to render great assistance to the cause of the Allies while appearing to all but the initiated to be doing something very- different. The voice is the voice of Lincoln Steffens, but the hands are the hands of Gilbert Chesterton. Without questioning the patriotic motives of anyone, I respectfully sub- mit that The Daily is on dangerous. ground in editorially commending any ,man or body of men whose program is anarchic - is, in fact, the very negation of stable government, law and order--and in commending, by in- ference, their fantastic point of view. It is only with the utmost difficulty !hat we are going to win this w This is no time, then, to enfeeble our purpose by the circulation of any form of ultra-radical propaganda. WILLIAM A.
