ning in the new occupation of terri-
tory and the capture of Odessa offset
the advantages which such conquest
will give," said Prof. Robert T. Crane
of the political science department
yesterday, when discussing the re-
cent movement of troops on the east-
ern front..
Professor Crane went on to explain
that while Odessa is the center of a
grain territory and an exceedingly
rich country, the internal disorgani-,
zation of Russia is such that the re-
sources will not be of value for a year
at least.
"Transportation in Russia," said
Professor Crane, "is completely dis-
organized and the oil resources are
not available for use now.
"Then the attitude of the advancing
army toward the Russians is bound to
bring down the anger of the Social-
ist party in Germany and breed dis-
sension with which it is difficult to
cope."
Food supplies in the new- region,
according to Professor Crane, will
not be ready for use until harvest
time, and by then the situation will
not be so acute for the Germans as
it is at present.
"Then too, Germany can not press
the Russian into the German army
for service as she has the other peo-
peoples which she has conquered. The
risk of mutiny would be too great and
the sentiment at home and abroad
would soon be beyond the control of
the authorities," Professor Crane ad-
ded.
In closing, Professor Crane said,
"The value of the advance would be
felt only if peace were to be declared

and addresses, Harper and Brothers
have published a collection of the
President's messages to Congress and
to the people. The collection begins
with the second inaugural address,
delivered on March 5th, 1917, and
closes with the famous fourteen de-
finite proposals concerning the war
and peace program of the United
States which made up his a'idress be-
fore the two Houses of Congress, on
January 8th, of this year.
We who live in the epoch of this
greatest of struggles are inclined to
obtain too easily our paltry knowl-
edge-of the issues being decided. We
seem to feel that taking part in the
play excuses us from having to learn
anything about it. The speeches made
by President Wilson just before the
United States entered the war, and
since she has taken 'p the quarrel,
are the expression and the definition
of the policy of our country.
It is not enough that we should read
these addresses when they are pub-
lished in the papers. They are the
history in the broadest use of that
word, for they record fact together
with the comments of the keenest
statesman of America. -And even had
we no .other reason, it were well to
have this collection to refer to when
we feel a weakening of our fighting
spirit. For Wilson's addresses are
nothing if not convincing.

When the Oratorical association
presents John Masefield's "The Trag-
edy of Nan" at 8 o'clock tonight, cen-
tral time, in Pease auditorium, Ypsil-

history of the two institutions that a.
Michigan dramatic organization has
produced a play in Ypsilanti.
The play, which is being given for
the benefit of the city hospital fund
under the "auspices of the Ypsilanti
Study club, was proclaimed one of the
greatest successes that the associa-
tion has ever attempted in dramatic
field, when it was presented Janu-
ary 28 to a capacity house in Sarah
Caswell Angell hall. Many who, at
that time, desired to attend the per-
formance were unable to do so be-
cause of the fact that the examination
period followed upon the play. Tick-
ets for tonight's performance have,
therefore, been placed on sale at'
Wahr's and Sheehan's book stores for
the accommodation of Ann Arbor peo-
ple.
Pease auditorium, which has a seat--
ing capacity of 2,000, is considered to
be very favorable to a performance
of this kind. Dress rehearsal was
held yesterday afternoon and another
will be held this morning.
After the performance a banquet
will be served the members of the
cast and those in charge of the play
by Lavern Ross, grad., at her home
in Ypsilanti. The banquet is to be in
honor of Joseph D. Menchofer, '18,
who will leave the University tomor-
row -to enter active training with the
naval auxiliary. Menchofer will play
the part of Mr. Pargetter in the play
tonight.
The cast of the play is as follows:
Nan Hardwick, Nina M. Kellogg,
'18; Gaffer Pearce, Warren H. Town-
send, '18; Mrs. Pargetter, LaVern
Ross, grad.; Mr. Pargetter, Joseph D.
Menchofer, '18; Dick Gurvil, Lionel
G. Crocker, '18; Jenney Pargetter,
Eva Herzberg, '19; Parson Drew,
Richard A. Forsythe, '20; Captain Dix-
on, Eugene Given, '19; Arthur Pearce,
Wilfred Nevue, '18; Ellen Melba, G.
Bastedo, '19; Tommy, John H. Hath-
away, grad.; Susan, June Brooks, '18;
and Constable, Carl Dahlstrom, '19.
Townsend, who plays the difficult
role of Gaffer Pearce, has much ex-
perience to aid him. He will be re-
membered for his work as the mag-
ician in "The Magic Carpet" which
was presented here by the Cosmopoli-
tan club last year. Townsend had
been on the professional stage for a
number of years before coming to
Michigan.
