Siveetheart Flag
Military officers in Detroit received
word from Washington yesterday that
the "girl left behind" will be permitted
to display a special "sweetheart" flag,
provided she is bethroted to the boy
now doing, his bit at the front for
democracy.
The new symbol is a white flag, the
center of which contains a red heart
bearing a blue star. This symbol is
certain to be popular with Michigan
women. More than 100 girls have ex-
pressed their favor of the plan and
there may be keen competition be-
tween the sororities on the campus
for stars.
The official word also advises that
"no two girls will be allowed to wear
a sweetheart's service flag for the
same soldier."
As is the custom in other service
flags, the star will be changed to g'ld
if the boy meets death..
LARGEST WOODEN SHIP AFLOAT
IS LAUNCHED BY GOVERNMENT
Washington, iApril 1.-"The largest
wooden ship built since Noah's Ark,"
is the claim of the Emergency Fleet
board, concerning the "War Mystery,"
a 5,000 ton steamer recently launched
in a Gulf port.
The vessel is 317 feet long, has a
beam of 49.9 feet, and a moulded depth
of 28.6 feet. It is built of Southern
pine and, was completed five months
after the keel was laid. It was con-
structed under contract for the Cun-
ard line,and is nearing copleton
along with six other wooden vessels
being built in the yard for the Emerg-
ency Fleet corporation.
The "War Mystery" is a, departure'
in wooden shipbuilding, aside from
being the largest vessel of that mate-
rial, inamuch as it is constructed of
much smaller timbers than those call-
ed for by specifications of the standard
Ferris model ship, now being built
.generally for the government. Difficul-
ty has been experienced by Southern
pine lumbermen in obtaining big tim-
bers for the Ferris model, and this has
resulted in some delay in the wooden
shipbuilding program along the Gulf
and Atlantio coasts.
PREACHINGS OF NIETZSCHE
EXPLAINED BY PROF. WENLEY
Prof. Robert M. Wenley addresseU
the Open Forum of Detroit,. Sunday
afternoon, in the McCollister hall, on-
"Nietzsche and the Causes of the War."
Professor Wenley said that Nietz-
sche's preaching of the "Superman" has
been misinterpreted, and that the
causes of the war which are ordinari-
ly thought to be the theory of his
doctrines are wrong. He explained
that Nietzsche's philosophy embodies
the doctrines of two other philoso-
phers, and that his theory has been
taken out of the sphere in which it
belongs. Professor Wenley believes
that the doctrine of the "Superman"'
hasesulted from the prachings of .an
Englishman, and not a German.
After the lecture, Professor Wen-
ley 'answered a number of ques-
tions involving ideas brought forth
in his lecture. The meeting' was
the last of the Open Forum
for this season, and an attempt
was made to raise money to pay the
expenses of the organization.
STUDENTS TO GIVE IDEAS
FOR PUISHBALL SUBSTITUTE
Students having suggestions for a
game to replace the pushball contest

'abolished by the Senate council last
fall as being too dangerous, are asked
to be present at the meeting of the#
Student council at 7 o'clock this eve-
ning at the Union, or to write up
their ideas, and place them in the sec-
retary's boxes in the different build-
ings on the campus.
Cards giving the necessary direc-
tions regarding communications for
the council have been placed upon
these boxes, and anything dropped
into them is sure to reach the proper
authorities.
The tenative dates for the spring
games are May 17 and 18. This leaves
a little more than a month to find a
substitue and prepare for the con-
tests.
