Perry, editor of e Adrian Telegram, which were first nted in the Telegram and in the 4troit Free Press. The Michigan anch of the intercollegiate intelli- nee bureau is sending them out. I.-Common Dangers Yesterday it was explained how nerica and the allies are bound to- ther by four important common in- rests-the maintenance of free gov- ament against military despotism; e preservation of the political free- m of nations; the preservation of mumercial opportunities; and the aintenance of the existing status of itish and American territory 'in and ar North America which a German story would disturb. Today the ques- n of common dangers will be con- Jered. Just as common interests draw na- ns together, common dangers force em together. There are two common dangers that nfront both the allies and the United ates, in the event of a German vic- ry. The one is political, the other mmercial. Poltical Danger 1. The political danger. This din- r is so apparent that it hardly needs be called by name. Germany is o most highly organized and ef- ient nation in the world. It also is e most aggressive, the most am- tious, and the least bound by pre- dent of any kind. Moreover, it is e most warlike nation since ancient ,me, and the most skillful in the 'ts of war. Upon this foundation ands a superstructure of militarism id autocracy-a caste of nobility and ofessional soldiers, closely allied ith the nation's money power, and d by one of the ablest, most daring Id most ambitious morarchs that er sat upon a throne. Suppose the >mbination wins, and the rest of the orld loses; what may we expect? First Germany's present enemies ill be left incapable of crossing, her 3th again. France will be crushed, r army disbanded, her richest terri- ry taken away, and a financial pen- ty imposed which will break her ck forever. England's fleet will be ized, her financial power permanent- crippled, and her empire broken .up id distributed as the spoils of war. aly will be left helpless .and bank-1 walls at her own boundaries against any foreign goods that might seek to enter German markets irl competition with German manufacturers. The United States would enact just such tariffs as Berlin demanded; if we did not, we should quickly feel the power behind the demand. At the same time American manufacturers and traders would find 01 desirable foreign markets shut off; for India, China and South America would have tariff arrangements with Germany that would effectually bar competition with German goods. Berlin would rapidly become, not a second London, but a greater financial and commercial cen- ter than London ever was or ever would have been. Trade and Power One In' these days foreign trade and po- litical power go together. The na- tion that is dominant politically can compel weaker countries to grant all sorts of commercial and financial fa- vors-to let in its goods by low tariffs, to keep out competing goods by high tariffs, to let valuable contracts, to grant franchises and concessions, etc, If Germany became, the world's chief political power, Germany would thus dictate the world's trade and finance. Indeed the former ,is Germany's real end-the latter only the means. In discussing the common interests and the common dangers that we share with the allies, no mention has been made of "traditional friendships" or "cordial relations" between any two peoples. These are passed over be- cause they are not to be counted as determining factors. Friendships and enmities are all temporary. They count for little, often for nothing, in determining policies. It is so with all countries; the friends of today are the enemies of to- morrow. This is not owing to fickle- ness. It is simply because national friendships are based on common in- terests or common dangers, and na- tional emnities are based upon rivalry or fear. No so-called national friend- ship based on mere tradition, history or sentiment, can be relied on for a moment if any tangible interest points the other way. And on the other hand old enemies are quickly reconciled the moment coinmon interests draw them together, or common fear drives them together. SUMMER lOBS FOR ALL WRITER OBJECTS TO UNIVERSITY MEN CAJOLING HOUSEKEEPERS1 DURING SUMMERc Editor, The Michigan Daily:1 In relation to the duty and oppor-t tuniies of college students in this war,1 permit me to make a few suggestions.t In engineering industries alone,t positions were offered this spring for several times as many men as the en-, gineering college is about to graduate.c The activities of war will demand az still greater supply of men with1 trained minds. The number of people who go through high school and intof or through college is a very small per-z centage of the entire population-only, two per .cent, in fact.t The student in college has had spentI upon his education by society (repre-c aented by his parents or by the state( or by philanthropists) at least $2,0001 to $5,000 more than has been spent uponf the great majority of other people.c This includes only the cost of food, shelter, books, clothes, and tuition during the high school period and the college period, and is a very conserva- tive estimate. It does not include the1 loss of earnings due to the young mani being not engaged in productive work during the period of education. The college man should engage in some kind of work having real value; to the nation commensurate with the expenditure which has been made to prepare him for life. A young man who commenced to support himself immediately after he left grammar school and who now sells shoes or is engaged in trying to make people be- lieve they want some commodity that they do not really need, could under intensive training for six months or one year be made into as good a sol- dier as any college man could be. Many important industries and busi- nesses will not today employ men who do not possess a college degree for positions which are or may be impor- tant-that is, they require years of scholastic preparation for worth- while service. The duty and the opportunity of col- lege men in the present national emer- gency should therefore be quite clear, it would seem. College men should seek to enter at the earliest possible moment into lines of work which will call forth their highest abilities and their best efforts. They should work upon their education more earnestly than ever before until it is well un- der way-until they are graduated from college. If one or more summer sessions would shorten the college period by a semester or more and if the students can afford to attend such summer ses- sions, he should do so by all means.1 If the student must enter employment1 outside of studies during the summer,f he should seek work which is as im- portant as possible to the nation and to the industries upon which it de- pends and which employs his special training and.abilities to the fullest ex- tent. Particularly should this matter of summer work be brought home to un- derclassmen and to juniors. The rail- roads, telephone and telegraph com- panies, electric power companies ana all public utilities, as well as manu- facturers and farmers are calling for men, and every able college man should respond. There should be lit- tle excuse for a college man spending his summer and exercising his talents cajoling housekeepers into buying spe- dial brands of brooms or kitchen utensils, unless he has made effort to engage in more worthy and necessary occupations and has been refused. There should be no deliberately idle college men, in good health, this sum- mer of all summers. It would be dis- loyalty to the nation, and I should think it would give the public a bad impression of college men. See if you cannot recruit an army of college undergraduates for useful occupations this summer. The head of any department of the engineering col- lege is able to furnish the addresses of many concerns which are ready to employ college men for summer work at profitable wages, along lines which will contribute much to their experi- ence.

Our enemy is the nation that ;can and may strike us, bur friend is the nation that can and will fight on our side. We must not go to the cemetery and read the headstones in order to pick out our friends and identify our enemies.% In this article the purpose has been to show how German victory would involve America and the allies in two common dangers. These two are gen- eral dangers, common to all neutral nations as well as to Germany's ac- tive enemies. The next article will take up another class of dangers- special dangers peculiar to America, which the allied powers either do not share at allorwhich involve them only indirectly or to a small extent.

That is only the first stage. Germany's conquest would be com- pleted, and the real fruits of victory gathered, in the commercial measures that would follow. Supposing a German victory with America neutral, what would these measures be? They would be what- ever commercial arrangements were to Germany's benefit and to the detri- ment of her competitors. For example she would compel England and France to admit German manufactured goods free, or at low duties, thereby pre- venting any competing industries from springing up in the conquered lands. At the same time she would erect tariff Princeton: At present that the class entering will be as large as usual. it appears next year oirer you single or uoum e unv. y Ic, VII IVVILVU, belts, plain conservative suits for the business men are also included in our stock.
