LOYD-GEORGE WIRES MESSAGE
OF APPROVAL TO NEW
PREMIER
London, March 22.-Premier Lloyd-
.eorge this afternoon telegraphed the
ollowing message to the new Russian
>remier, Prince Lvoss:
"It is a satisfaction to the British
eoples that the Russians now base
heir institutions upon a responsible
;overnment. Freedom is a condition
f peace, and I do not doubt that
hrough a suitable constitutional gov-
rnment the Russian people will be
trengthened, and will resolve to
prosecute the war until the last
stronghold of tyranny in Europe is
testroyed, and until the free people
>f all lands secure the blessings and

luma our heartfelt congratulations on
:he liberation of the Russian people
from- autocratic rule, and send the
Rlussian nation the heartiest good
ill of the Irish nation."
Grinnell, an independent nationalist
member, declared. Lord Milner, one
of Lloyd-George's war counsel, had
recently been sent to Russia to fo-
ment the revolution. He moved a vote

ing judgment upon the new institu-
tions in Russia until time revealed
their character. Speaker Lowther

FRAYER BELIEVES SPIRIT
OF PATRIOTISM EXISTS
SAYS NATION MORE POWERFUL
POTENTIALLYATHAN 50
YEARS AGO
"Some of my students have tried
to prove to me that patriotism is an
outworn sentiment," said Prof. Wm.
A. Frayer in his address at the Y.
W. C. A. vesper service yesterday. "I
do not believe that there is a lack
of patriotism, but we are confused and
do not see the situation clearly. This
is the greatest crisis the world has
yet seen, and if we could grasp the
immensity of it our minds would not
stand the strain. I believe, however,
that in a few days something will
happen which will reveal as a flash
the essentials of the situation.
"We of the present age are some-
what to be pitied," the speaker con-
tinued, "because we have never had
to make sacrifices. Now it devolves
upon us to prove whether the last
40 or 50 years have meant degenera-
tion, or whether we are still up to
the standard of the old American
stock. I myself believe. that we are
potentially more powerful today than
were the people 40 or 50 years ago,,
and that every grown person ought toy
have in him the moral earnestness to
meet the test.
"Patriotism does not consist in hur-
rahing and waving the flag, but in
taking thought as carefully as we can,
in forgetting the frivolities and being
ready to meet the serious demands
which will be made on us."
The meeting closed with the sing-
ing of "America."

1 given for the course.

WRITES OF PORTO RICOI

051'o

Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Perhaps many American college
men do not know that the beautiful
islajid of Porto Rico is an organized
territory of the United States, and'
that just a few weeks ago American
citizenship was granted to all Porto
Ricans.
Porto Rico came to the possession
of the United States after the Span-
ish-American war. For 18 years its
inhabitants were Spaniards by birth,
but were considered foreigners in the.
United States, while outside the
United States we were considered as
Americans.
This is one of the greatest steps in,
the history of the United States for
the last 15 years. The people of
Porto Rico have pledged themselves to
support the American flag and Ameri-
can ideas. As a result, the feeling of
antagonism existing between the
United States and some South Ameri-
can republics will be allayed, by the
granting of American citizenship to
Porto Rico.
.As a fitting expression of gratitude
to the United States, the house of
delegates passed a resolution declar-
ing April 7 a public holiday, and has
conferred diplomas on President Wil-
son, Representative W. A. Jones of
Virginia, author of the law; Senator
J. A. Shafroth, who had charge of the
bill in the senate; Frank McIntyre,
chief of the bureau of insular affairs,
and Governor Yager of Porto Rico
for efforts in the passage of the leg-
islation.

PRESIDENT LOWELL TELLS
OF COMING RESPONSIBILITY
Cambridge, Mass., March 22.-On
the eve of this country stepping into
the vortex of a world war, President
Abbot L. Lowell of Harvard univei .
sity recently expressed himself oAt
universal military training in an ad-
dress to the R. 0. T. C. as follows:
"I never felt the responsibility so
great as I do now, but my duty is be-
fore me and it cannot be shunned. It
is a terrible responsibility to ask men
to go out and throw away all that
life is worth living for, but your
country calls you to a duty which is
the highest you have. On you as of-
ficers will depend the lives of other
men, and it is the duty of every man
to become as expert as possible, for
history is strewn thick with the
blunders of commanding officers."

GRMN RAIDER MOEWE
PULLS INTOHOME PORT
CRUISER CAPTURES 22 STEAM-
ERS AN) FIVE SHIPS ON
SE CONDI)RAID
Berlin, March 22.--"The German
auxiliary cruiser Moewe returned to
her home port of the navy from her
second cruise in the Atlantic ocean,"
declared a statement issued by the of-
ficial press bureau today.
"She remained in the Atlantic sev-
eral months under the command of
Burgrave and Count Hohna Schno-
view. The ship captured 22 steamers
and five sailing ships with a total of
123,100 gross tons. Among these ves-
sels were 21 hostile steamers of whom
eight were armed aild five were in the
service of the British admiralty, as
well as four hostile sailing ships. The
Voltaire, an English steamer with 12
centimeter cannon, 8,618 gross tons
in ballast, and the Halbgord, a Nor-
wegian steamer of 2,587 tons, carry-
ing parcels, and the -steamer Mount
Temple were among the list."
The dispatch gives the first definite
indication of the South American raid-
er as the Moewe. She had previously
been reported from unofficial allied
and neutral sources as the converted
cruiser Vineta. The Moewe on the
second raiding cruise just concluded
succeeded in breaking all records for
elusiveness. On her first raid the
Moewe was credited with sinking 15
ships. Her depredations have prob-
ably caused shipping in the neighbor-
hood of $17,000,000.
First reports concerning the South
American raider now definitely identi-
fied as the Moewe came in United
Press dispatches from its staff corre-
spondent at Buenos Aires. Later in-
formation said the raider had slipped
out of Kiel harbor flying the Danish
flag, and successfully eluded the Brit-
ish patrol fleet.

"Each Man Must Himself Prove Val-
idity of Religious
Creeds"
"No event in the past has any mean-
ing except as it continues to live in
our own valuation," said Prof. R. M.
Wenley in his lecture on "Origins and
Valuations," yesterday afternoon in
St. Andrew's Episcopal church.
Professor Wenley went on to say
that the origin of our religious creeds
is of no importance so lon'g as they
apply to the everyday life of mankind.
As different historians interpret his-
torical facts in different ways, the
writers of the Bible infused their own
personalities and view points into
their works. Religion is not a matter
of observing certain formalities hand-
ed down to us, but of accepting what
applies to us and rejecting the rest.
"Each man must prove for himself
the validity of religious creeds," Pro-
fessor Wenley said, "a man is bound
to believe from his own personal ex-
periences that religion is the word of
God."
The lecture is the fourth of a series
.of five entitled, "A Layman's Pro-
blems." The last lecture, "The Mean-
ing of the Church," will be given next
Thursday at St. Andrew's church.
