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 In the near future which is not at all probable." rments every one of them. advise early inspection. Fashions of Ice Cream every Day{ 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. NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SIGNS CONTRACT WITH GOVERNMENT New York, March 15.-Chancellor Brown of New York University signed today the first of a series of contracts which the war department is complet- ing with educational institutions for the technical training of contingents of the national army. The contract provided that theuni- versity shall house, feed and instruct 100 selected men from April 1 to June 1, and it is expected that after June 1 the number of students will be in- creased to 860. 4 The soldiers will be instructed chiefly in technical subjects.

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- anti, it will be the first time in the 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.
