Kansas U. Studes
To Play Pool in
?Ilunicipal Hall
Lawrence, Kans., March 27.-Mu-
nicipal billiards are advocated by. fac-
ulty men as a solution of the pool hall
problem now confronting the Univer-
sity of Kansas. A bill to abolish pool
halls in Kansas college towns recent-
ly passed the state senate, but died in
the house. Coach Olcott expressed his
o inion that with a strict daily time
linit for individual players, well-man-
age municipal billiard halls would
less ,n the tendency for obnoxious loaf-
ing. One faculty member, when ques-
tioned as to his knowledge of the
situation, said, "Oh, yes, I'm an ex-
pert, all right. I play one game a
year."

which resolutions were adopted to es-
tablish a federated republic to com-

mon laws and rights 'of the German
peoples.
The writings consistings of poems,
essays, speeches, articles, and cosu-

lar reports, all treating of the ad-
vancement of freedom, common weal,
and of the form of government best
adapted to the modern needs, extend
from 1839 to 1910.
Professor Florer will immediately
start to write the second volume, bas-
ed on the manuscripts found in the
Kiefer collection relative to the estab-
lishment of a republic in Germany.
This volume will contain the letters,
papers, and reports on the activity of

Professor Kinkel came here from Lon-
don in the fall of 1851 and labored for
months endeavoring to raise a loan
for a republic in Germany.

A' THE WHITNEY

The Shuberts are sending "Alone
at Last" to the Whitney theater, Sat-
urday night, March 31. This musical
comedy is the work of Franz Lehar,
composer of "The Merry Widow."
"Alone at Last" was first produced
on the continent under the name of
"Endlich Allein." The three acts of
the play are laid in Interlaken, Swit-
erland. The second act is divided into
three scenes showing the base, the
slopes, and the summit of the Jung-
frau. A party of American tourists
makes the ascent of the mountain
and the audience is able to follow
this ascent on the stage. The plot of
the story is furnished by a young Am-
erican girl who, in the company of a
guide from the hotel, a young baron in
disguise become separated from the
rest of the company, and are maroon-
ed in a snow storm at the summit of
the mountain.

AT THE GARRICK

PACIFIST RAILS IN SATIRICAL
VEIN AGAINST DEFENSE PLANS
AS OUTLINEDl
Editor, The Michigan Daily:
Inasmuch as the vast country of
Germany which is surrounded by the
small and friendly nations such as
Russia, France, and England, was not
forced to protect herself in the ag-
gressive style which we all know is
so typical of the average German, and
inasmuch as submarines have been
sighted in the Mississippi river, and it
is rumored on good authority that they
have been seen in the Huron, it is
time that we realized our danger and
made preparations to for the protect-
ing of our country.
In order to placate the pacifists, I
suggest that we hold at least the semb-
lance of a campus vote. We are sure
to win. A few padded ballot boxes
would do the trick. A little of sturdy
force might gain for us the name of
swashbucklers, and renegades of
truth, but what of that so long as we
were getting what we wanted?
You see, we have nothing to loose.
Many of us who favor militarism can
train and become officers, thus escap-
ing the dirty work, and dangers, in
the trenches-at least this was sug-
gested at one of the drills the other
night. Then, too, many of us are.
elderly deans, and doctors of medicine
and so forth who will not have to
imperil ourselves or undergo the
healthy training and discipline which
the pacifists so sentimentally call "the
demoralizing herding of men." The
freshmen, the sophomores, and those
to come will bear the burdens, so we
ought to be zealous with no fear of
being enmeshed ourselves.
There are some, doubtless, who
would , object to our rugged, healthy
style of force, and question whether
it did not resemble the tyrannous
style of the kaiser. But this would,
plainly, be reasoning on their part
and hence their downfall; for, there is
no reason in war or its accessories' of
military training and the like; force
is the instrument of war; force isrthe
last resort in any case; we are secure.
There have been foolish historians
who said that the victory of Greece
over Persia was the triumph of intel-
lect over force, but we militarists can
claim that as long as the species,
man, lives brawling and fighting will
be common. Thus, we might as well
reconcile ourselves to it and forget
the idyllic, contemptible, impossible
dream of the triumph of intellect over
force.
M. JAMES GILMARTIN, '18.
Editor's Note-It is intimated in
the above communication that the vote
to be held tomorrow on compulsory
military training will be managed by
a group of partisans who will manipu-
late the vote through the padding of
ballot boxes. As the vote will be held
in open assemblies, and the voters will
be required to sign their name and
class to the ballots, there will be no
opportunity for irregularities. It ap-
pears that an apology is due the deans
under whose supervision the vote will
be taken.
Pick Speakers for Women's Luicheon
At the luncheon for Michigan wom-
en to be held next Saturday under the
auspices of the Women's league, the
principal speakers will be President
Harry B. Hutchins, Mary E. Farns-
worth, '041 of Detroit, former presi-
dent of the Women's league, and Olga
Shinkman, '17. Helen Humphreys,
'16, Will act as toastmistress.

GIRL DE FINES COLLEGE SPIRIT
AND WINS MAGAZINE PRIZE
Lawrence, Kans., March 27.- The
following is the definition of college
spirit from the essay on "College Spir-
it," by Caroline McNutt, which won
the Graduate Magazine prize:
"College spirit, to me, is that im-
portant constitutent in the make-up of
every loyal student that compels him
to put the good of his college before
everything else-athletics, scholar-
ship, honors, personal pleasure, or
gain; it is the bigness within him that
binds ,him close to his alma mater in
a never-dying friendship with her sons
and daughters; it is the determination
within him to give his college all that
he has to give without thought of
what his college is giving to him."
BREAK SPEED RECORDS ALONG
PEKiN HIGHWAYS IN "DEMON"
Iowa City, Ia., March 27.-Speed rec-
ords 'for the vicinity of Pekin, China,
have been broken by an alumnus of
Iowa university who piloted his car
at the high rate of 25 miles per hour.
A sight-seeing trip to Tangshan
springs was made by the party of en-
gineers, who are building railroads In
China, during one of the holidays and.
the Pekin Daily News reported the
trip as being the fastest made in that
vicinity. Chinese bullocks were ter-
rified and wagons were upset by the
"demon" which argued the right of
way with everything on the road. The
average speed for the trip was com-
puted to be 19 miles per hour.
Art Museum Receives Two Paintings
Two paintings, the gift of J. A.
Wetmore, '81, have been presented to
the Art museum of the University.
Both paintings are originals, and date
from the eighteenth century.
"The Death of Cleopatra" by Varoni
is representative of the Italian school
of the eighteenth century. The other
is a landscape by "Old Crone", an
English painter. Aside from the artis-
tic viewpoint this picture presents an
interesting study in the development
of landscape painting. Mr. Wetmore
presented the Museum last .year with
Huntington's famous landscape, "In
the Mountain Fastness."
Dr. Walker Speaks on Bird Houses
The Ann Arbor Bird club will meet
at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow evening in
room 355 Natural Science building.
Mr. Norman Wood will deliver an il,
lustrated lecture on the winter vis-
itant species of birds. Dr. E. D. Walk-
er will talk briefly on bird houses
for the chickadee, bluebird, house
wren, and flicker.
Announcements will be made re-
garding committees that have been
formed, and also in reference to field-
trips. Members are urged to attend
and bring their friends.
Zoologists Call for Defense Ideas
At a reent meting of the teaching
staff of the zoology department, Prof.
J. E. Reighard, who is a member of
the zoological section of the National
research council, called for expres-
sions of opinion regarding the oppor-
tunities open to zoologists for assist-
ing in national defense.
The suggestions received will be pre-
sented at a meeting of the council
which will be held some time in
April.

comedy "Follow Me," will be seen at
the Garrick theater, Detroit, this week.
The play is an adaptation of the
libretto of Felix Dormann and Leo
Ascher.

may. The role of the actress is played

changes of costume.
The cast which the Messrs. Shubert
have selected to support Miss Held,

Mink. Sylvia Jason and Wilmer Bent-
ley.
RESEARCH CLUBS TALK OVER

What can be done in the field of re-
search to aid the national government
in its present crisis, was the subject
of talks delivered by President Harryl
B. Hutchins, Dean Victor C. Vaughan,
and Prof. William B. Pillsbury at the
joint meeting of the Research clubs,
held in the lower amphitheater of the:
Medical building yesterday afternoon.
President Hutchins opened the

purpose. Dean Vaughan outlined the:
work being done by the several com-!
mittees, and stated some of the prob-
lems which the medical committee, of
which he is chairman, are trying to
solve.

thorities, stating that the University
of Michigan is willing to do all with-
in its power to aid the work -
