THEMICHIG ,N DAILY PAGI THINKS MEN MISJUDG0 WRITER BELIEVES NO WILLFUL MISSTATEMENTS WERE MADE ABOUT NAMING VOTE Editor, The Michigan Daily: There is a feeling on the campus generally that a statement was made by. certain men at the time of the vote on compulsory military training which was not true. At the mass meeting held in Hill auditorium Thursday, March 29, a member of the faculty made the state- ment that unless we had military training which was compulsory we could not secure United States army officers to train the men. He showed that without army officers we could not have as satisfactory training as we desired. He made this statement as an ex- planation for our balloting on com- pulsory training for freshmen and sophomores, and voluntary training for the other students.. He said that we must have compulsory training for nat least a portion of the students before we could secure army officers here to give us a good military course. However, this assertion was shown to be untrue by the action of the Re- gents in favor of only voluntary mili- tary training and by the statement in The Michigan Daily (for the first time) that United States Army officers could be secured under General Orders No. 49, in spite of our not having any form of compulsory military training. A number of students on the campus have stated that they voted for the measure only because they had been told that compulsory training was necessary to secure army officers to drill us. And these students are ,at present feeling that everything relat- ed to the voting was not honest and above board. They feel that there was intentinal misrepresentation of the measure. I aii writing to The Michigan Daily because I feel that the students may be judging the speakers wrongly. I believe that the gentlemen who made the incorrect statements should be made aware of the feeling on the campus and thus be given an oppor- tunity to explain their position and remove much misunderstanding. H. G. KING, '18. Government Will Take Over Roads Expect General Railway Committee to Have Control Says Professor Cambridge, Mass., April 4.-Ameri- can railways in case of war will be commandeered by the government and probably controlled by a general rail- way committee, in the opinion of Prof. William J. Cunningham of Har- vard university business school. "There are several links in the chain of railroad transportation," said Professor Cunningham, according to the Harvard Crimson. "First, the ca- pacity of terminals; second, the ca- pacity of the running tracks and sid- ings; third, the number of cars and locomotives available; and finally, the number of train crews to be had. The national defense committee of the American Railway association is working out plans which will involve the use of alternate roads in moving large bodies of troops and supplies. By this means one road will be used for the transportation and the other for the return of empty cars." The railroads have been divided in- to districts named the Eastern, Cen- tral, Southern and Western districts. The officials of the various lines will cooperate in placing their systems at the free disposal of the government. Mr. Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern railway, will act as general chairman of the officials.
