Journalists Hold
"'Get- Together,
Start Career on Smll Paper, Says
Lee Smitts of Detroit
News
"If you want to develop, start your
journalistic career on the small town
paper," was the advice of Lee Smitts
of the Detroit News to the assembled
students interested intnewspaper work
who attended the first of a series of
get-togethers in Lane hall last night.
In dealing with his topic, "The Re-
lation of Schools of Journalism to the
Modern Newspaper," the speaker
touched upon the cultivation of lofty
ideals as a means of insuring success
in the journalistic field.
Pranklin G. Dunham, former editor
of the Columbia Spectator, and na-
tional president of Pi Delta Epsilon,
spoke upon the function of the col-
lege newspaper, advocating a decided
editorial policy on all campus ques-
tions. Prof. Fred N. Scott of the
rhetoric department defined the real
freedom of the press during the storm
and stress of the war issues, while
Lee A. White of ,the Detroit News
dwelt upon the necessity of calmness
and deliberation as regards the news-
papers of that nation facing a crisis,
or while in an actual state of war.
Mr. Lyman L. Bryson concluded the
program with an interesting talk. Re-
freshments were served.
The second program of the series
will be held shortly after the spring
vacation.
NEW PEACE TERMS NOT
TO TRICKGOVERNMENT
SENATOR SAULSBURY FAVORS
ABROGATION OF PXIST-
ING TREATIES
Washington, March 29.-If German
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg
should present new peace terms in his
speech scheduled for today, they will
not trick the United States government
into change of its present policy.
In fact, the state department let it
be known this afternoon that it stands
on its previous assertion that Germany
must without qualification withdraw
her unlimited submarine warfare de-
eees before there can be any dealings
between the two countries. The ad-
ministration, according to the state
department suggestions, will not per-
mit any false proposals to becloud the
clear issues.
Favors Abrogation of All Treaties
Washington, March 29.-Abrogation
of all existing treaties between the
United States and Germany because of
Germany's gross violation of Ameri-
can rights in sinking American ships
%nd taking American lives was ad-
vocated by Senator Saulsbury, member
of the foreign relations committee,
and president pro tem of the senate.
Since Russia's revolution Saulsbury
declared, the war has resolved itself
into a battle between democracy and
autocracy. It is plain, he declared,
where the United States' duty lies in
the struggle. "Assuming that congress
shall declare war or declare a state
of war exists," said Saulsbury, "there
should be no hesitation of any kind in
doing what we can to bring an end to
the war upon which we would then
enter."

83000 SEE EURIPIDES'I
TRGEDY "IPHIGENIA"
CLASSICAL CLUB PLAYERS GIVE
ANCIENT GREEK MASTER-
PIECE
"Iphigenia Among the Taurians,"
the master tragedy of the great Greek
playwright, Euripedes, was presented
in Greek by the Classical club play-
ers last night in Hill auditorium.
Iphigenia, the daughter of Agam-
memnon and Clytemnestra, having
been snatched away from her father's
altar when he was about to sacrifice
her, is borne by Artemis to the Taur-
ian shores where she is later found
by her brother, who does.not recog-
nize her at first. He is seized and
sentenced to death. However, in
speaking with him, Iphigenia recog-
nizes her brother and with Pylades,
they effect their escape. Thoas, the
king, is about to pursue them when
the vision of Athena appears, telling
him to desist from vengeance, and the
play ends with a song of rejoicing to
the goddess.
Charlotte Kelsey, '18, in the role of
the heroine, Iphigenia; displayed the
same splendid -talent that has char-
acterized her work in previous cam-
pus dramatics.
Clarence Hunter, '17, as Orestes, the
long lost brother, and Ralph Carson,
'17, as Pylades, his friend, act their
parts admirably in expressing the
emotions of forlorn wanderers in a
foreign land.
George Wilner, '17, as Thoas, the
Taurian king, takes the part of the
barbarian chief, and in threatening
mein and harsh speech typifies the
savagery of the northern races.
Emily Loman, '19, as Pallas Athena
features a remarkable scenic effect in
the last act, and with the grandeur
of the goddess, herself guides the un-
couth babarians from revenge to wor-
ship.
More than 3,000 people attended the
play, many coming in special cars
from Detroit and Jackson.
Prof. G. Sarton Speaks to Conference
Prof. George Sarton of Mondelgem,j
Belgium, who is at present lecturing
on the history of science at Harvard
university, will address the joint
classical and mathematical conference
at 1:30 o'clock today in the Alumnil
Memorial hall.
Behind a hastily organized band, and
bearing the huge legend "Michigan
for America," more than 2,500 Univer-
sity students took part in an im-
promptu preparedness parade last
night which swept in ever-increasing
numbers down State street, passed the
Whitney and Allenel hotels, and
halted before Regent Junius E. Beal's
residence.
Before the two hotels and the Re-
gent's home, demonstrations of Michi-
gan's support of military training were
given. Later the parade wound back
to State street to the tune of the
"Victors."
In front of Huston's they crowded
together, and when someone suggested
the singing of "The Star Spangled
Banner," they compliM with bared
heads. Next came "America" and
"The Yellow and Blue," after which
the crowd broke up. The parade was
organized about 7 o'clock by some
students in the Medical college, which
department also furnished the band.

TWO DEPART)IENTS TAKE DEFIN-
ITE STEPS TOWARDS PRE-
PAREDINESS
DEPARTMENT HEADS' '
PLEASED WITH RESULT
Open Discussions Held in Assemblies
Before Taking Ballot Yes-
terday
Proving that Michigan student opin-
ion favors the immediate installation
of compulsory military training as
provided under general war orders
No. 49, both propositions of the ballot
which was taken at class assemblies
yesterday passed by a large majority.
The total number of votes cast was
4,336. All ballots which were totally
unsigned were not counted, but those
bearing class numerals with class only
were accepted.
The Medical school led all the de-
partments in the affirmative vote with
but eight votes cast against compul-
sory training in any form. Changing
the form of the ballot the junior dents
voted 77 to 15 for compulsory mili-
tary training during the first two
years of the dentalacourse.
Definite steps leading toward urn-
mediate preparedness were taken by
students of two departments. A peti-
tion is being circulated among the
senior pharmics stating that in case
of war the signers will offer their
professional services to Secretary A.
B. Stevens to be used as. he sees fit.
Freshmen of the Medical school have
organized two companies of infantry.
Of this number 35 men have had pre-
vious training. The election of offi-
cers and the arrangement of drill
hours will take place in a meeting of
the corps today.
"The vote today should express the
desire of Michigan men to do their
duty," said Dean John R. Effinger, who
addressed the literary assembly held
in Hill auditorium. "College men
should be prepared to be the leaers
in war," he continued. Before the
vote was taken Mr. Lyman L. Bryson
of the rhetoric department answered
questions concerning the ballot.
Results Please Deans
Dean Fffinger-"However the de-
tails are decided by the board of re-
gents the vote clearly shows that the
students are willing to make a sacri-
, fice and assume the responsibilities
of the hour."
Dean Cooley-"I think the vote is
magnificent. 'Heartening' is the word
which expresses my sentiments. I
think, however, that the confusion in
interpreting the real meaning of the
first question as a temporary and not
a permanent measure may have se-
cured favorable votes which it would
not otherwise have received."
Dean Myra B. Jordan-"I am thor-
oughly in favor of training for every-
one. The spirit shown by the vote is
excellent."
Dean Hinsdale-"It seems the log-
ical thing to do at this time."
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley spoke be-
fore the junior engineer assembly,
pointing out several facts about the
question of military training. He .did
not exhort the students to vote-on
either for or against the proposition,
but left the- matterto their judgment.
Following he dean's talk a general
discussion was held.
No adverse opinion on the question
of military training was expressedat
the law assembly.' In speaking to the
students Dean Henry M. Bates ex-
pressed the wish that every member of
the Law school take some srtof
military training in order to be able
