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." COMPLETE VLUME GIVING WRITINGS OEXR-REGENT DR..kH LitFE, CHA IRMAN OF 3EET- ING ORANIZED TO FOUND REPUBLIC IN GERMANY Prof. Warren W. Florer has com- pleted the volume containing the un- published writings of Dr. Hermann Kiefer, who was a regent of the Uni- versity from 1889 to 1902. Dr. Kiefer was chairman of the Frei- bug meeting of March 27, 1848, at which resolutions were adopted to es- tablish a federated republic to com- prise all the German states. This was to have been founded on the 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 Prof. Gottfried Kinkel in. America. 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.

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.

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.

RESEARCH CLUBS TALK OVER MEANS OF AIDING IN CRISIS 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.
