MightHave Gone Into Bankruptcy.and Liquidated.EUROPEAN CASH WITHDRAWNSudden Constriction of Credit CausesFinancial Crisis-Tendency IsToward Economy.Enforced saving will fill up thegaps caused by the war and make theUnited States more prosperous thanever, according to Prof. C. Law­rence Laughlin, head of the PoliticalEconomy department, who lecturedyesterday afternoon in Mandel. Mr.Laughlin asserted that the Europeanwar caused a decline in the prices ofour securities, forced the value of ourcollateral to melt, and made it im­possible for us to send gold as pay­ment to Europe. He also averredthat if it had not been for the wis­dom of our business men and thepa­tience of our creditors abroad, theUnited States might have gone intobankruptcy and liquidated."The breakdown of our exchangemachinery last summer was nearlyfatal. American capitalists borrowabroad and throw all the weight uponforeign lenders. With the war. therewas a fall in the prices of our securi­ties. Since the first Balkan war, se­curities have declined and lendinghas been restricted. We could notkeep up the high level o! our i�dustrywithout the use of foreign capital.Domestic Trade Important."The panics in Berlin and Paris onJuly 23 meant trouble for us. The; values of collateral held by ourbanks began to melt away. NewYork dealers had no expectation ofwar. We had to pay Europe$500,000,000. Although our creditsystem works in both foreign and do­mestic trade, the domestic is farmore .Important to us. However, themachinery supplied by foreign capi­tal is at the bottom of our financialsystem •"At the outbreak of the war, our'fo<ldstuffs were needed abroad. But,at first, all trade was stopped· be­cause we had no ships, and could ob­tain no insurance for cargoes, inas­much as the war risks were great.The only available payment wasgold and its use became a physicalimpossibility. Therefore, Americanbanks owing the Bank of Englandhad to default paymenL Theii, thechief markets besides home consump­tion for our cotton have been Eng­land and Germany. Even though thisyear's crop surpassed previous ones,we stood to lose $400,000,000. At first,sentimental and foolish measureswere adopted, but now we are send­ing out an amount unparallelled inour history.War CoDStricta Credit."The first blow struck by the warwas a sudden constriction of credit.The drain on our gold reserves fellbelow the legal limit, In London,the payment of obligations of evenneutral nations was stopped. Cashwas provided by the suspension ofthe bank act to relieve, the discountmarket of accounting houses, thewhole burden of maturing bills wastaken over by the Bank of England."Here, it was impossible to liquid­ate loan items or adopt ordinarymeasures. In times of emergencies,loans based on stocks and bonds arenot legal. This was brought home tothe business man, ,and the wholemachinery of credit stood still.Everything depended on the lending(Continued on page 4)•,. RECORD IS BROKEN INOPERA SINGERS' CONFLICTPhonograph Becomes HystericalOver Combination of SelectionsListed for Graduate Party Tonight-Will Levy Fines for Shop Talk.Consternation was scattered broad­cast through the ranks of the Pro­gram committee of the Graduate So­cial club, when it was learned thatMary Garden had flatly refused tosing before the members of that or­ganization at their first meeting, tobe held tonight in Greenwood.As originally planned, a musicalprogram of the highest type was tobe offered for the approval of the as­sembled guests. No expense hadbeen spared, and the best talent 'ob­tainable had been secured. MaryGarden and Luisa Tetrazzini wereboth on the program. Both had(individually) consented to perform.The records of the Drinking Songfrom Traviata and the Flower Songfrom Carmen were the best on themarket. Unfortunately, as soon asthe Garden record learned that aTetrazzini was to be played on thesame phonograph the same evening,it went into hysterics, and developeda pronounced case of needle-rasp.Beilttles General Sherman."Needle-rasp nothing!" irritablyexclaimed the h'arrassed chairman ofthe Program committee yesterday."It's nothing but plain temperament---or temper. Why, Sherman didn'tknow what he was talking about. Ar­ranging this program would havemade -{har famou-s March to- the Sealook like the annual picnic of the or­phan asylum."Other numbers have been arrangedto fill the vacancy left by the defec­tions in the musical program. Con­tests of various kinds will be held,the most important of which will bethe one for a permanent name for thenew organization. Objections havebeen raised to the temporary titlenow in use, the "Graduate SocialClub," on the ground that it is tooreminiscent of "The Young LadyBoilermaker Apprentices' Social andMarching Club," Entries in thename contest will be received up to9 o'clock this evening by ChairmanA.

This year it has been suggestedon the council floor that at least one'meeting a month be thrown open to'the public.The main argument advanced infavor of having the meetings open tothe students is that the council isreally a body representing the stu­dents and that these students have a, right to know what their representa­tives are doing; that, should there beany tendency toward even the slight­est bit of "crookedness" on the partof any member of the council, widepublicity given to everything doneand said by this member would pre­vent him from continuing such apractice; that students will feel moreof a direct personal interest in theirown government if they can see itdoing its work.The other side says that councilmeetings as a rule are really execu­tive sessions and that there is muchdiscussion of the per�nal merits ofindividuals which it would do nogood and, possibly, some harm, tohave aired before gaping classmates;that some of the members of thecouncil, particularly those selectedFrom the lower classes, would nothave the courage to talk and to takedefinite stands on different importantmatters when there is an audience;that a crowd watching the proceed­ings might become unruly and hin­der the quiet carrying out of busi­ness.The Maroon is inclined to favorhaving the meetings open to the Uni­versity public, under such rules of or­der as hold in any well-conducted as­sembly. It favors having all sessions(except this, of course--committeemeetings) open to the students andnot simply one session a month, asthat meeting could be a carefullyplanned, harmless occasion-a dramacarefully rehearsed previously-whenno real business was done.The success of the venture of hav­ing a Maroon reporter attend everymeeting seems to augur the successof having the meetings open to the�eneral public. Students who havethe nerve to present themselves ascandidates should not be afraid to'voice their opinions in thc face ofthe whole campus. And, if they havethis fear, they are not the officialsthe classes want.POPULAR ELECTIONS.The Maroon is in favor of somesystem whereby the cheerleader willbe chosen by the student body as awhole. This opinion is not voiced todisparage the recent choice of thecouncil, but because the paper feelsthat as it is the students who are tobe led by the cheerleader, with themshould rest the choice of this man.The Maroon hopes soon to see thisprinciple of the general election ofcertain officers hitherto chosen bythe council carried out to a large ex­tent. It would suggest that Promleader, Settlement dance managerand several other officers be chosenby the student body.In the same connection, it believesthat members of the Honor commis­sion should be nominated, as well aselected, by the classses. There seemsno particular reason why the com­mission should be a self-supportingbody, if it is to be a nominally elec­tive one; and there can be no doubtthat the system employed tends tomake for this self-reproduction.=============�HARPER TO BE THE SPEAKERRussian Language Professor WillAddress Cosmopolitan Club.:\[r.

Beeth­• !'.J oven was a great admirer of Napo­leon before he became the emperor of· France. General Bernadotte, of Na­• t poleon's staff, was sent in 1798 on adiplomatic mission to Vienna, andwhile there met Beethoven. TheFrench general was fond of music," and it is generally supposed he sug­�� Ih '&ested to Beethoven a symphony. I which should be entitled "Bonaparte.".. I '. Is Angered at Napoleon.:�: Dr. Bertolini has suggested that'< this symphony was first conceived by.. ,-Beethoven when Napoleon went on., I : an expedition to Egypt in 1798, and., that the rumor of Nelson's death atthe battle of Aboukir inspired the Fu­neral March. It is clear, however,that Napoleon was the main inspira­tion for the symphony. After thework had been completed, Beethovenr - prepared a copy of it to be sent to• ' the French commander. But uponhearing that Napoleon had assumed"the title of emperor, the great com-0_; poser became filled wiht rage and tore,·f . the title-page off. The name was then, : '��hanged to "Sinfonia Eroica."Beethoven's overture to "Egmont"was composed to Goethe's tragedy,"Egmont," in 1809-10, twenty-twoyears after the play had been pro­duced. That Beethoven undertookthe writing of this incidental musicto the tragedy was owing to the de­sire of Hartl to bring out plays byGoethe and Schiller at the Courttheaters' in Vienna.C .Jrttspondence Is Revealed.S". ie interesting correspondencerelating to "Egmont" passed betweenBeethoven and Goethe. It is saidthat the commission to compose themusic was given to Gyrowete, whorefused it. But in his letter toGoethe, and in letters to his publish­ers, the composer stated in unmistak­able terms that it was the greatnessof the poet's work· which inspiredhim to write his music to it. Goetheorchestration of "Dreams" by Theo­dore Thomas, was produced by theChicago orchestra in 1904. The pre­lude to "Die Meistersinger," the lastnumber on the program, was firstgiven in 1862.

The Maroons did notmeet Minnesota last season. but twoyears ago Chicago was barely able towin. at Minneapolis. 20-16. in spite orthe fact that the Gophers had an in­ferior team:Minnesota is one of the hardestteams in the Conference to win fromon the horne floor, The surface ofthe playing court is unusually slip­pery. due to the fact that it is usedfrequently for dances. Visitingteams find it extremely difficult toget accustomed to this.Page Doubtful of Outcome.Coach Page has primed his menfor this feature and has had a sectionof the floor in Bartlett covered withpowdered alum. Pat is not confi­dent of winning from the Gophers.and apparently win not be surprisedif Minnesota succeeds in annexing avictory. Wisconsin was barely ableto win at Minneapolis. and only scor­ed a victory by a rush in the finalfive minutes which overcame a nine­point handicap."Bee" Lawler. the veteran forward.who was out of the game last sea­son, is scheduled to break in at_for­ward for the first time this season .He is a brother of the Minnesotastar. who was the sensation of theConference several years ago. Cap­tain Y ym and Lewis. veteran guards,will be seen at their old positions.Both are versatile players and cap­able of putting up a rugged game.Little wiil be used at center.Chicago's opening combination isscheduled to consist of Captain Ste­venson and Des Jardien at forwards.Townley at center. and George andKixmiller at guards. This quintethas displayed winning form in everygame thus far. and Coach Page ap­pears to have selected the best com­bination possible. Stegeman. Schaferand Bennett will probably appear atsome time during the game.DECLARES ENFORCEDSAVING mLL FILLGAPS CAUS� BY WAR(Continued from Page 1).power of the banks. and they stoodup nobly.
