"The rustlings of this peace move began to be heard in banking circles here some weeks ago," says the last number of Bache Review. "It is to be fairly well concluded that the initia- tive was given by the bankers in Ger- many. It is among this class in all countries that the, hard facts are ap- preciated, undimmed by halos or fogs surrounding military operations. It, lines of truth that these bankers went Securities on the Decline. The first fall in the security mar- kets on the announcement that one side of the great conflict was offer- ing peace, while it was abrupt and forceful, was, nevertheless, viewed as a whole, not as panicky. Instead, however, of a continuation after the first day of decline, there was more or less of a recovery. Shipping Losses. The activities of Germany have cost the shipping industry of the world a heavy toll. This is not confined to enemy countries, but comprises a huge percentage of neutral shipping. The Journal of Commerce's compila- tion shows that since the war began, nearly 2,000 vessels have been de- stroyed, with a total aggregate ton- nage of more than 3,600,000. British losses represent something more than 10 per cent of the total ton- (Continued on Page Six) may be guessed within the narrow out- to the kaiser and pointed out to him that the country was headed toward certain ruin, that it was absolutely necessary to call a halt, if the nation was to be saved from destruction." AT THE WHITNEY The latest musical cocktail having as its chief inspiration the existing terpsichorean mania bears the singular title of "Watch Your Step," and will appear at the Whitney theater, Tues- day, Dec. 19. "Watch Your Step," is one of the best of its kind that theaterdom has entertained in many days. All the Irving Berlin traditions in the matter of lavish costuming and sumptuous settings have been set aside, and all previous efforts undone in the matter of raiment. There are modishly at- tired show girls, spirited ponies, and a group of villagers reminiscent of Mother Goose. The cordiality with which "Watch Your Step" and its in- terpreters are greeted is proof of its merits. l f ESTABLI? ED, I1810 I1Z 2 w "yitI 10 F AT THE MAJESTIC. MADISON AVENUE COR. FORTY-FOURTH STREET NEW VORK Telephone Murray Hill 8800 Five clever acts are to be found on the bill of the Majestic theater for the coming week. Perhaps the most novel of the quintet is the perform- ance of the four trained horses. The number best received by the audience was the singing of the Victoria Four, whose act was one of the most laugh- able on the program. The Wilton Sisters, billed as "Youthful Enter- tainers," also won approval with their singing, dancing, land playing. Willie Hale and Brother, in "Bits of Vaude- ville," present the regulation type of comedy juggling, though a few new features are to be found. A short skit, entitled "Check Your Hat," affords several minutes of pleasing farce. DR. HALL RECEIVES LETTER FROM SECOND WOMAN STUDENT In an address which Registrar A. G. Hall gave before the Woman's club of Adrian. some time ago, he spoke of the introduction of co-education at the University of Michigan, and of the first woman student, Madelane Stockwell Turner. Last Saturday he received a letter from one of the members of the club stating that the second woman student at Michigan, Julia Knight Edwards, was in his audience that day, and that after his departure, she had given an interesting talk on the situations which faced a woman student in '70 and '71. Mrs. Edwards has sent four daugh- ters and a son to Ann Arbor, two of the girls marrying Michigan graduates. Her oldest granddaughter will enter the University soon. - We can supply you with anything known to the wall-paper and paint trade. C. H. Major & Co. tf AT THE MAJESTI PAINTINGS ON SALE TO HELP CR1PPL I)BEAUX ARTS PUPILS Among the many appeals which have been made to Americans in be- half of sufferers in the European war, few have met with. readier response than has been accorded the effort of the Committee of American Students of the Ecole des Beaux Arts to sell in this country small paintings by the soldier-pupils of this famous institu- tion. Ann Arbor people are now to be given an opportunity to view these paintings and to purchase them at a reasonable pice, a limited number of them having been put on sale at the James Foster House of Art.

C THIS WEEK UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS ALSO IN GRIP OF SMALLPOX SCARE Michigan is not the only state whose inhabitants have been subjected to the terror incident to a smallpox epidemic. The University of Kansas' newspaper reports that the ,entire state is in the grip of a smallpox epidemic and that preventive measures are highly ad- visable in the case of all students who intend' travelling to any part of the state during the Christmas holidays. The University authorities at -Kan- sas have announced that it is very probable that all who are not vaccin- ated will not be permitted to reenter school on their return after the re- cess. This is necessary owing to the impossibility of taking any definite preventive steps is the short time yet remaining before vacation.
