I Winter Wear WE DO FOR MEN ODD BOWS and TIES and collars are hard to find. And when one finds them, their prices are usually prohibitive. Perhaps that is why girls h,6pperi in every now and then and ask to be shown the new neckfixings--they are dis- tinctive, and their pricef, are "just ordinary." Otto T. Kreuser, '17, in the last ar- ticle of a series of five about Germany tells of the German army. No institution in Germany is more misunderstood by the average Amer- ican than the German army.

ALL FOREIGN STUDENTS INITED TORECEPTION Faculty to Entertain Men and Women From Other Countries on Dec. 2 About 200 invitations have been sent out to the foreign students asking for their presence at a reception which will be given in Barbour gymnasium at 3 o'clock Saturday night, Dec. 2. Presi- dent Harry B. Hutchins and Mrs. Hutchins land the heads of the various departments will- receive. A reception of this kind was first given by the Uni- versity authorities in 1914, and a re- newal this year promises to make the affair an annual event. Prof. J. A. C. Hildner, chairman of the board of advisers to foreign stu- dents, will be iu charge of the pro- gram. This will consist of singing, recitations, short talks, and a variety of other acts by the foreign students. It is hoped that the majority of for- eign students in the University will be present at the reception and especial- ly the new students who entered this fall. All foreign students are invited to the social function whether they re- ceive invitations or not, due to the fact that Professor Hildner may not have their names.

The strength of tlie German army or peace footing is one per cent of th population or about 650,000 men, an 83,000 non-commissioned officers and about25,000 commissioned officers. But opposed to the system in vogu in England and the United States, this army (aside from the officers) does not consist of professional soldiers but of youths undergoing a military training who have no intention of be ing soldiers at all unless their coun- try should be involved in war. It i no more and no less than a school in which the officers are the teachers. These are comparatively permanent while the "pupils" go to school, get through with it and get out again. All Classes Attend School All classes of the population from the highest to the lowest pass through this school. The nobleman and the peasant, the judge on the bench, and the doorkeeper of his cotirt, the phy- sician and the man who drives his carriage, the wealthy manufacturer, and the man that takes his wage-all "serve," and for a certain period of their lives they are all treated alike, for the army handles all classes with ungloved hands. Able-bodied men in all walks of life are supposed to pass through this school. Most of them serve for two years in the infantry, some for three years in the artillery or cavalry. Dur- ing this time that state takes posses- sion of them and pays all their ex- penses. The training is thorough and the discipline rigid. Through them vast numbers of young men learn for the first time what it is to put forth real (effort and to obey. Young men who have had at least nine years of education in the high- er public schools and who pay their own expenses during their term of service may at their option serve only one year in any branch of the army. At the end of their year (after having taken some special examinations), they are promoted to the rank of of- ficers of the reserve. Soldiers Learn Trade It is evident that the German gov- ernment makes a rather heavy de- mand upon the time of its able-bodied male population. But this time is not wholly lost. What is gained in dis- cipline, orderly habits, cleanliness, and prompt obedience goes far toward making up what is lost in time. The astonishing development which Ger- man industries have to show, is to no small extent due to the discipline which the workmen and managers have been subjected to in the army. Furthermore, men have a good oppor- tunity to perfect themselves in, or even to learn, trades of all kinds such as those of the cobbler, tailor, cook, and clerk. Without doubt there are Germans who would rather not have to spend two or th'ree years in this school furnished by the army. No American keenly enjoys paying taxes. But sen- sible Americans regard it as neces- sary that taxes should be paid and good Americans pay them with grace. Military service in Germany, how- ever, is by no means so unpopular as is the payment of taxes in America. All classes are obliged to serve, so that no one feels that he is being dis- criminated against. Nor are the years of service generally disliked. Young Germans are generally proud of hav- ing served and with the masses of the people the army is not unpopular either. Position Demands Army It must always be kept in mind that the size of the army is determined by the representatives of the people, and that, therefore, the military system is the expression of its will and repre- sents its judgment of what is called for by the situation. It is not my privilege at this time to enter into a discussion of the phrase "German militarism," that has been so liberally displayed upon the ban- ners of certain agitators. I wish, how- ever, to conclude my remarks by re- minding my readers that the German army, which is there by the will of the German people, is there not in order to satisfy the militaristic spirit or jingoismof the nation, but for sheer necessity. Germany is vulnerable on two sides by land, by nations who have support- ed both in proportion to their popula- tion and geographical situation a con- siderably larger army than Germany, and this previous to the existence of the present German army. This men- ace, therefore, justifies in the opinion of the German people, a burden, which under no other conditions they could have been induced to take upon them- selves.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE BEGINS WORK 'FOR RED CROSS Members to Meet Two Afternoons Each Week to Make Articles for Comfort Bags Tooth brushes, chocolate, pipes, soap, towels, and mouth organs-these are some of the articles to be placed in the comfort bags, which the Womeir's league, in conjunction with the nation- al Red Cross, in preparing to send to the soldiers for Christmas. Under the direction of the social service commit- tee of the' league, college women will meet two afternoons a week at Bar- bour gymnasium to make and fill these bags. The first meeting will be held at 3 o'clock, Tuesday, Nov. 28, at the gym- nasium, and all girls are urged to help, and to come in for only a short time, if they cannot be present all after-' noon. Townswomen are also invited r to help, as it is the hope of the com- mittee to make and fill 100 of these bags, to be sent off before Christmas. The league is the only agency doing Red Cross work in Ann Arbor this year. After Christmas the work will be- come more general and will include tearing and rolling of bandages, com- press foldinF, and if possible, garment making. College women in all the state universities and eastern colleges are actively engaged in this sort of relief work, and it is hoped that Michi- gan may add her share. Elizabeth Hall, '18, is chairman of' the social service committee, under which the work is to be done, and she, will be assisted by Mrs. ,Burr, who has, had experience in directing war relief work. w A Delicious Lunch can be quickly prepared, and without the slights trouble, on an -.
