Stadeker VARSITY BASKETBALL WINS Michigan is to have Varsity basket- ball beginning with the 1917-1918 sea- son, So decreed the board in control of athletics at its meeting yesterday. This action by the athletic board is gratifying because it was taken large- ly to carry out the wishes of the stu- dents, and in the face of mediocre fin- ancial returns which the sport would bring. It shows that the board has the interests of the students really at heart, and is not guided in all its ac- tions by the mere question of dollars and cents. Though basketball is not to be in- stituted until next season, it is es- sential that work begin immediately to launch successfully the new Varsity sport. The responsibility in this mat- ter lies not only with the athletic association, but also with the students. Though it remains for the athletic authorities to carry on the routine work of hiring a coach, arranging a schedule, etc., the success of the sport rests ultimately in the hands of the students themselves. It remains for them to maintain the interest they have already shown in basketball, to talk basketball when they go home for the holidays, and to be satisfied with what may appear to be mediocre schedules the first year or two. The establishment of basketball as a Varsity sport is a progressive step in athletics at Michigan. WHAT LANGUAGES DO WE SPEAK? A congress of English teachers re- cently assembled in New York found itself discussing whether its members do teach English; whether the lang- uage spoken by Americans of the ris- ing , generation is merely a dialect, or whether it has attained to the dig- nity of a distinct "American" tongue. Professor Scott, of the University of Michigan, hails the day when this in- digenous language will be officially re- cognized. It will apparently be com- posed of our vernacular Esperanto, with a few relics of our trans-Atlantic heritage as a concession to tradition. Mrs. Smith will extend bids to a dance. Policemen will become cops in the dic- tionary, even "Lift up your beans, ye mighty gates." As a matter of fact, it will be long before an American language is es- tablished in spite of the "janitors of our speech." Even after three hundred years of geographical separation,. a Bostonian understands an English- man's conversation more readily than a Southerner's. We still manage to read English books with tolerable facility. There will be no slang lingua franca as long as the leavening influence of conservative instruction remains.

Marine Service Duluth, Minn., Dec. 9. --Several worthy young men who were physical- ly qualied but whose educational op- portunities have been so limited as to prove an obstacle to military service, are now being coached in the "rule of three" and other primary studies, by Sergeants Buck and Murphy of the local recruiting station, who have es- tablished a night school to help as- iring applicants to gan eligibility for service in the United States marines. Men serving in all branches of the service are required to have certain educational qualifications, and it is to meet these requirements that the two sergeants have established their school and volunteered their services as "school-niarms" Already several pupils have mas- tered the learning necessary to qual- ify, and the military authorities are taking steps to spread this fre edu- cational movement to all recruiting stations of the marine corps. FOREST SERVICE TO STUDY CONSUMPTION OF PULPWOO) Washington, Dec. 9.-Figures show- ing the amount of wood used in the United States for making pulp will, it is announced, be obtained by the for- est service in connection with its 1916 census of the lumber industry. Be- cause of the increasing scarcity of the pulpwood in some parts of the coun- try, the need for accurate figures showing the consumption of this class of material is realized by manufac- turers and foresters alike and it is expected that such figures will be made a part of the yearly statistical work of the forest service. The pulp manufacturers will co-operate in the work, through their trade oganiza- tion, the Newsprint Manufacturers' association. Detailed information in regard to the amount and cost of different kinds of pulpwood consumed in the differ- ent states is to be collected. Com- parative figures showing the total pulpwood consumption of the country for 1899, 1909, 1914, and 1916 are to be compiled.

These recitals will be given in Hill auditorium and will consist largely of organ numbers together with vocal and piano selections to add variety. The programs, which will be about three-quarters of an hour in length, will begin at 4:30 o'clock and will be made up of numbers that are some- what light in nature. The recitals have been called "Re- laxation Recitals" and are intended to relieve, to some extent, the mental strain which is usually marked at the time of final examinations. AMERICAN RIGHTS LEAGUE PROTESTS AGAINST GER_)ANY The American Rights league, with headquarters in New York, has sent out protests against the deportation of Belgians into the interior of Ger- many. These protests call on the cit- izens of the United States to make clear their abhorrance of Germany's policy in Belgium, and to bring pres- sure to bear on congress, the Presi- dent, and the German ambassador at Washington. These protests declare that no true American can have knowledge of this brutal treatment of a conquered people without a keen feeling for the Belgians and of indig- nation against their oppressors.
