Schermerhorn, Jr. SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE This is a happy year at Michigan. particularly in one respect. Things are moving. Organizations which hav( been asleep or apparently dead have awakened to activity. The Mimes of the Michigan Union roused from its lethargic state seems to be having something to say In the management of the 1917 Union opera. The latest organization to emerge Phoenix-like from the ashes of inac- tivity is the Michigan Boat club. Though the Huron promises little in the way of aquatic activity for more than a month, the officers of the Boat club have met to re-organize, and offer the campus something tangible in the nature of an organization for the en- couragement of water sports. We hore that the plans of re-cr- ganization prove effective for we be- lieve that there is a great deal of in- terest in canoeing and river sports at Michigan. Thli campus will welcome a strong club organized in the in- terests of aquatic sports. From all accounts the Illini were gracious hosts last Saturday. We now have an "inn"'bor bird so- ciety. Someone has suggested that a squirrel club be organized. Billy Sunday has just refused a $2,000 a day job with a circus. Can it be that the famous devil fighter is losing his pep? It might possibly be that The Michi- gan Daily is simply a Maynard street corporation which has no special sym- pathy or regard for the will of the stu- dent body which supports it. In this case my assumption, that The Michi- gan Daily has a peculiar right to my sympathy and support, is wrong. I spoke above of the normal man and is prejudices. If you, Mr. managing editor, have any special desire to favor the British people, as it would seem from the columns of The Daily, I, for one, do not. If I could not avoid imposing my fond fancies on you, or noon the student body, were I ian- aging editor of The Micihgan Daily, I should acknowledge my incom- petency for the position and resign. Witness the article in columns two and three, page four of the issue of The Daily for March 3, 1917. It is not opnly poor selection of available news because of its impertinence -to Michi- gan students and its pitiful literary rank, but it is, obviously, silly bias. And, now, I wish this point to stand out from the rest of my argument. You, as managing editor of The Mich- igan Daily, in spite of the fact that the student body of the University of Michigan has explicitly, by referen- dum, repudiated compulsory military training, and thereby disfavoring mili- tary training in general, persist in your policy of ignoring and overrid- ing the will of the student body, as thus expressed. It is high time that your position be defined. Mr. man- aging editor, what is your answer to these questions? SAMUEL GREENSPAWN, '17M.

University Senate voted to transmit to the Regents a plan for establishing compulsory military training at Michi- gan beginning with the academic year 1910-1917. On Nov. 30, 1915, a student referendum on the question of com- pulsory training was held. In this ref- erendum, 1,040 voted in favor of es- tablishing compulsory training, and 932 voted against it. The Regents re- cently provided for the adoption of a system of voluntary training as pro- vided for in war orders number 48. The Daily has urged students to en- roll in the courses in military science, provided for by the action of the Reg- ents, and in the military drill which will supplement the theoretical courses. n 0 ( COME AND SEE THE BLACKMER POSITIVE ROTARY PUMP EXHIBIT AT 22t EAST LIBERTY STREET, NEAR FIFTH AVENUE Ihis improved Blackni r lPositive l Rotary Pum1) will be Manufactured in Ann Arbor. where a largze plant will soon be Nilt.

CRITICIZES DAILY POLICY SAYS PAPER OPPOSES WILL OF STUDENTS IN ADVOCATING MILI. TARY TRAINING HINDUS AE RESPONSIBLE -I ORIENTAL DECLARES BRITISH NOT TO BLAME FOR CONDITIONS IN INDIA I Editor, The Michigan Daily: Editor, The Michigan Daily: I wish to draw the attention of the students of the University to the edi- torial policy of The Michigan Daily. And while doing so, I wish to ask you, Mr. managing editor, some ques- tions., Granted that every normal man has his prejudices, do you believe that he has a right to impose them upon others? Do you think that as manag- ing editor of The Michigan Daily you have the right to override the will of the student body of the University at large? Do you think that the dig- nities, the sentiments, the purposes of the student body should be tacitly scorned in the columns of The Daily? Do you think that repressing news un- favorable to your prejudices, and printing, in the main, only such news stories as will strengthen your point is fair dealing? Even if you think so, what will the student body have to1 say? Or does the student body have In view of the fact that there has lately been appearing in your paper a series of articles purporting to fur- nish the student body and other read- ers information on India, but which in fact are unfounded charges against the British empire, prompted by per- sonal bias and malice, the writer, a British. subject-not of English ex- traction, but a native of the island of Cyprus--takes this opportunity to file a protest against the continuation of these articles. I an education to their children for the first time; they liberated the people of Cyprus from the tyranny of the Turk and gave them a chance to work out their own salvation, with assurances that their lives and property would be respected and protected, a thing unknown in Cyprus for centuries prior to the advent of British rule; and, as Mrs. Barbour so excellently stated, the English brought the Hindus out of barbarism and oppression into the light of civilization and personal lib- erty. There can be no doubt that famines similar to the ones complained of, ex- isted in India prior to the advent of British rule. The British having brought the Hindus into contact with civilization and having opened up the country to international trade, the in- herently lazy Hindus found it more difficult to get along. Mr. Hardikar in his naive and puerile attempts to heap opprobrium upon the British people, furnishes us with quotations that constitute his own refutation. To quote him: "Fam-, ines in India are not due to the lack of food supply. Enough food has al- ways been grown in India to feed the population. But the people are so re- sourceless, so absolutely unrepared (we might add, unprepared be 'use of their inherent laziness and shiftless- ness), that when crops do fail, they are unable to buy from any neighbor- ing province which may have a rich harvest. It is the poverty of the peo- ple that brings on the famines." Nay, it is the laziness of the people, and their preference for alms rather than work that are the causes for these famines. The writer of this letter being him- self an Oriental, knows the spirit of laziness pervading all Oriental peo- ple. The typical Oriental is not prone to work unless he is prodded on by famine; and if he can beg alms, why, so much the better. This is the rea- son why the farther east a tourist goes, the more beggars he encounters; and vwhen he reaches India he finds a great many more there than in any other Oriental country. The Oriental's fatalistic doctrines and superstitions -the anticipation of having 72,000 women and 70,000 servants apiece, and the enjoyment of delectable mor- sels of food and other sensuous pleas- ures immediately upon his demise, make his desire of work still less and increase his chances of death by fam- ine still more. These and not British rule are the causes of the periodic famines in India complained of. BARKER D. BAIRAM, '1$L. GIVE NEW COURSES IN WOOl) PRESERVATION IN FORESTRY Several new courses in wood preser- vation and impregnation, not given as riegular courses in any other univer- sity, are now included in the regular outlined courses in the forestry de- partment of the University. C. M. Sporely, '17, who is special- izing in this work, recently attended the 13th annual convention of the Am- erican Wood Preservers association. The purpose of this organization is to develop and encourage wood preserva- tion throughout the country. Fair Sized Audience Greets Mrs. Mead A medium. sized audience greeted Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead who spoke on "The World's Crisis and America's Duty," at the Methodist church Sunday evening. Mrs. Mead spent part of yes- terday investigating the libraries of the city, finding out what literature is in these°libraries dealing with the pro- blems of the day. For results advertise in The Michi- gan Daily.' If British rule in England's colonies and dependencies were oppressive, tyrannical, and generally detrimental to the welfare of the governed, the writer of this letter as a native of the island of Cyprus would be among the first to take up arms against the op- pressers, with a view to throwing off the foreign yoke. But as a matter of fact there is practically nothing to complain of British rule; hence the general contentment of the people so l m)ace at Dear Price Only Is Opinion Champaign, Ill., March 5.-"Peace at a very dear price, but not peace at any price," was the opinion of nine- tenths of the 1,000 people interviewed in Champaign on the question of an immediate declaration of war against Germany.
