When one of the committee ap- proaches you,, remember that he is not seeking your roommate, or the man in the next house. He wants you. To get you, it may be necessary that youmake a sacrifice. So much the better. You should when you take into considration that 1300 Michigan men are giving not the. pleasure of a few "big tims," but a sacrifice of themselves in facing German guns. Your share doesn't mean to your nation what you can conveniently spare, what is actually a surplus to you. Your share means that you have given up the luxuries of life, that you are living as economically as pos- sible. If you thought yesterday that you could take a $50 bond, take stock of yourself now and raise your ante to a higher level. APPROPOS OF FORMALS Sororities have abolished formals. Fraternities next. Now that a decisive step has been taken by the sorority women, there is no reason why the men should not follow in their foot- steps. This is a year when extra ac- tivities should be cut to a minium. It is an admitted fact that formals are more or less of a bother and that oft- en they do not produce as much joy as informals. If there is no point in holding formals, they should be dis- pensed with. House dances and the weekly dances of the Illinois Union and the Student council can easily supplant expensive formal affairs and furnish just as much enjoyment. In all prob- ability there will be a formal Junior Prom and that should suffice for this semester. House formals are unnec- essary and a useless expense. In lieu of formals, however, there might well be an increased number of informal affairs. More house danc- ing with several house organizations combining would reduce expenses of hiring the hall and furnish more con- genial surroundings at the same time. There is no reason for keeping the formal. It should be dispensed with, and the informal substituted. the Daily Illini.r Speaking of cold weather, Mt. Union was just about snowed under.

SCHOLL SAYS HAS MISREPRESENTED DELUDE STUDENTS HELBER CASE TO reading room and library. Use them. IWO.MMMOMER Editor, The Michigan Daily: In your interview with Mr. Helber, editor and publisher of the Washte- naw Post, printed in a recent issue, you lay before your readers matter which calls for the most emphatic challenge. The people of this city know the situation too well to permit the gen- tleman in question to play the role of injured innocence, but the student body, coming from all corners of the country and not knowing the facts, might be led to infer that sinister agencies are at work for the undoing of good citizens who have merely courageously insisted upon their con- stitutional rights. Mr. Helber is represented as deny- ing that he published pro-German edi- torials in his paper. If this report is correct, Mr. Helber has stated the ex- act opposite of the truth, as any one can observe for himself, if he will read them. It is hardly too much to say, that every issue from the out- break of the war in 1914 down to his latest has had its editorial columns, news columns, literary columns,. full of pro-German stuff wherever it could be stowed. It will not do to try to add mendacity to the old offenses. Mr. Helber charges persecution by a small group of personal enemies, who out of spite wish to ruin his busi- ness. It would be strange if a few personal enemies could induce the postoffice department of the United States to become the tool of their private revenge. In fact, Mr. Helber's "enemies" are that great body of American citizens, who, while fight- ing the enemy in front, will not per- mit traitors to skulk in the rear. They are not even interested in Mr. Helber personally. They are fighting a nuis- ance with more heads than Hydra's and care little personally what head is lopped off, so it falls. The plain fact is, that the postoffice department at Washington has in hand extracts from the Washtenaw Post, editorials in English, translations of German editorials and news notes, and other necessary information, and doubtless believes that the new espionage act applies and requires im- mediate action. If Mr. Helber does not go to Washington in person or by proxy, it is quite as likely that it is because he has no case as that he can trust with a good conscience to the weakness of his "ienemies." If Mr. Helber honestly thinks that any citizen of the United States could say with perfect justice everything that he has published in his paper, it merely proves how dangerous he is. Most citizens do not agree with Mr. Helber's published notions, namely: that America has entered this war merely to save the loans made to France and Great Britain; that Ger- many is not our enemy now, and never has been, and is not now making war upon us; that our war is merely a war of conquest-for Britain's advan- tage; that our government hypocritic- ally forced the draft law through con- gress to create an army to fight Ja- pan, knowing that the war would be ended with a German victory before we could get into it; that the govern- ment has no right to send our soldiers to fight on foreign soil; that the sub- marine outrages including the sink- ing of the Lusitania are in perfect ac- cordance with international law; that our English language press is bribed CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 10:30 Address by Lieut.

Not only could the citizens of Ameri- ca not say these things "with perfect justice," but out of a profound con- viction of their falsity they repudiate teem, and would be ashamed to be ac- 'Unitarian Church State and Huron Streets 10:30-Wells' New Novel, "The Soul of a Bishop," and its Criticism of the Churches.

The public invited. counted capable of entertaining such notions. Mr. Helber offers his "files for in- spection." They have been inspected, and the government knows what was in them. An enlightening comment is the fact that Mr. Helber refuses to have his paper on file in the Alumni Reading room, as formerly. It made it too convenient for "inspection" by his "enemies."
