The citybuilding commissioner yesterday re­fused to grant a permit for the useof Mandel with the scenery that thedub had rented for the occasion.Screens will be used to replace theoricinal. setting."Despite this slight handicap," saidPresident Francis Sherwin yesterday,"we are going to· give just as splen­did a performance as we would havedone before. We will use the sameproperties, the cast will be in cos­tume, and the only difference will bethe abseDce of�-tittle painted scen-t ery.

This was brought to thehall and half unloaded before wordwas reec:ived from the office of thesuperintendent of buildings andgrounds that it could not be used.Finally permisaion was obtained andthe remainder of the load was takeninto tIftt haD.The dub then found it necessary tosecure permission from the buildingcommissioner for the use of the scen­ery. The applicants were referred byCommissioner Erickson to DeputyCommissioner Olson, who said thathe "would see what could be doneabout it." He fixed 10:30 yesterdaymorning as the hour at which hewoult give his decision. Mr. WallaceHeckman, business manager of theUniversity, consulted CommissionerOlson and was told that only steelscenery could be used. That decisionput all chances for using seenery ofany sort beyond reach. Steel stagesettings are the most expensive madeand could not be secured at a pricewhich the club could meet.Will Atred "Follies."The decision means that before anydramatic performances can be given·in Mandel with scenery the stagemust be remodeled at a cost, accord­ing to University ofFfficials, of ap­proximately $25,000.I "This decision would appear tomake It difficult for the W.

If theMaroons lose they will be practicallyout of the running for the Confer­ence honors, but if they succeed indowning their opponents they willstand a good chance of taking firstplace in the Conference meet.The Illini have won their only Con­ference contest of the year, havingdefeated Wisconsin by a close score.Although Coach White's men havedropped their initial match to North­western, if they succeed in nosing outthe Illini, they must be considered asfactors in the Conference meet onMarch 20.The Chicago water basketball teamis regarded as the favorite in the con­test to follow the meet. CaptainShirley's men have defeated the Pur­ple players by a comfortable marginand have also won two easy contestsfrom the Hamilton club.

SANFORD GRIFFiTHSVISITS CAMPUS-HASFOUGHT IN BELGIUMFormer Student Has SpentThree Months With Armyin Flanders.EXAMINES· CRIME CHARGESSays Many Atrocities Are Acts ofIndividuals, Although Accred­ited to Armies.Sanford Griffiths, ex-'12, returnedto the campus yesterday for a shortvisit, after spending the months ofOctober, November and Decemberwith the Belgian army in Flanders.Griffiths went to Belgium in the lat­ter part of September from the Uni­versity of Paris, where he has beenstudying international law for thepast two years, with. the intention ofassisting in the administrative workof the Red Cross; but owing to theovercrowded condition of that branchof war relief, he became attached tothe Belgian army itself. Griffithshas been doing work in the army,corresponding to that of a militaryattache.He first set out to investigate theatrocity charges that were preferredagainst both the Germans and theBelgians. But owing to the difficultyof carrying on such an investigationwhile hostile military operations arebeing carried on, as they were inFlanders at that time, he :returned tothe main bOdy of the' Belgian" armY.Griffiths said yesterday in regardto these atrocity charges: "There isprobably no crime which during thecourse of a war cannot be applied toisolated cases in any army. Manyatrocities accredited to armies areacts of individuals. The policy ofthe German army prior to the occu­pation of Antwerp was to terrorizethe civil population of Belgium; butafter the country had been complete­ly overrun by the Germans, it hasbeen rather to conciliate."Has Been ill Many Battles.Griffiths stated that he had beenin a large number of battles withthe Belgians, among them being thebattles of Pervyse and Ramescapelle.He related an experience that he hadin which he barely avoided captureby the Germans.441 had agreed to come to Antwerpon the Friday on which the Germanseventually occupied it to take theAmerican consular documents to TheHague, as I had a military card at(Continued on page 2.)BULLETIN1'oDA'l'.11aree Qaatters dab dance, 3-6, Hey-noIcI8 dab. .UIIlYenity Da-.es, 8, Leu. pOll 12..TOMORRO\\-.University relilioas Be"i�, 11,Malldel.Student yespers, 4, Mandel.MONDAY.Chapel, Junior coIle«e men, 10:15,MandeLBlackfriars cast tryoatSy 2:30, Rey-nolds club.BroWlllJOll club, 4, Lexington U.Southern �Iab, 4 :30, Lexington J.f.Public ledure, -nae Denlopmentof the RoIna" Fora_," Dr. Esthp.r B.V�:l � .. _., �;=, n.a:.en � ... :':y�Physies elub, .. :30, Ryel"8On 32-Uninnrity OI'dIestra, 4:30, Belfield1� .Interfnternity Freshman dinDer, 6,Haldal_ cafe.stadeBt V oIanteer band, 7, Lesift«­ton 14. IRISH POETRY'S PURITYDESCRIBED BY DR. MEYERProfessor of Celtic Literature Dis­cusses Types of Military, Sea andLyric Verse-Reached Climax inSeventh Century.Irish poetry shows freedom ofspirit and purity of tone rather thana reaction against despotism, accord­ing to Dr. Kuno Meyer, who lecturedyesterday afternoon in Cobb 12 A.Dr. Meyer read Irish military, seaand lyric poetry, translated by him­self. He divided the lyrics into twoclasses-that of the bards who wereattached to the king's court, and thatof the gleemen, who wandered aboutunattached."Matthew Arnold and others,"averred Dr. Meyer," attribute tital­ism and reaction against despotismto Irish poetry. This is not the casehowever, for Irish poetry shows f�dom of spirit and purity of tone, de­spite its simplicity. We get a suc­cession of pictures of astonishing va­riety. The commonplace are few,and the poets are extremely sensitive.The few remaining ancient Irish love­songs that have come down to us arelaments. The Irish and Wales poemsof nature rank among the best in theworld. The religious poetry waswritten mostly by the monks.Irish Literature Unknown."The Irish literature, in generalis so little known to the scholars thatits existence has often been denied.At one time Ireland was the head of�the world of literature for over twocenturies. The Gaelic is the oldestand it has such a rich character thatit needs the devotion of a lifetime tostudy it in all its aspects. The na­tions of western Europe had to strug­gle against the denationalizing forceof Rome. By the fifth century theGaelic language was extinct, and allthe Celtic languages seemed to havebeen lost. The Irish and the Anglo­Saxons, nevertheless, left somethingbehind.When Christianity came, there oc­curred the same struggle betweenthe vernacular and the new tongue.But to Ireland it gave an impetus to­ward Irish literature. Then the in­fluence of the Irish missionariestaught the English to have a nativetongue. In the sixth and seventhcenturies, the golden age of Irishpoetry and the great seminary ofChristian learning, the Irish becamethe teachers of whole nations. How­ever, they soon succumbed to the in­fluence of Rome's invasJon.Manuscripts Were Lost."A number of Irish manuscriptswere destroyed in the ninth centuryby the vikings. Many things weresaved in the eleventh century thathad been written even in the sixthand eighth centuries. . The Irish na­tion did not use verse for epics. Mostof their stories are in prose and areinterspersed with lyrics put into themouths of heroes."Dr. Meyer is professor of CelticLiterature and Languages at the Uni­versity of Berlin, and is one of theforemost philologists of the presentday. Before succeeding to the chairof Heinrich Zimmer at Berlin, he wasa member of the faculty of the Uni­versity of Liverpool and one of thefounders of the School of Irish Learn­ing in Dublin, the only modern insti­tution where Celtic is taught as inancient times. As an author, Dr.Meyer has written "The Voyage ofBran," ne nas aiso eorrtribnted tothe "Zeitsschrift FUr Celtische Phil­ologie," and '-Eriu," the journal ofthe School of Irish Learning.Dance Is Postponed.Foster hall has postponed its fOT­mal dance to April 10. VARSITY FORCEDTO THE LIMIT TODEFEAT GOPHERSLoosely Played Game Goes toMaroon Five, Ninteen toFifteen.MAROON'S PASSlN(; IS POORRemoval of Lawler Handicaps Visit­ors-Chicago's Defense DamesMinnesota Five.By Harry S. Gorgas.In a loosely played, overtime con­test the Varsity basketball quintetbroke the losing streak that threaten­ed to end disastrously, and annexeda 19-15 victory over the Gophers.Throughout the greater part of thegame Minnesota kept a slight lead.The removal of Bee Lawler, the maincog of the Gopher offense, for fourpersonal fouls near the end of thegame, broke up the visitors' play andpaved the way for Chicago's victory.The VarsitY failed to play a deci­sive, clean-cut game and frequentfumbles and passes often resulteddisastrously. Chicago's guardingwas of a stellar variety, and the vis­itors were forced to shoot from themiddle of the floor. On two occa­sions, Pynn and Lawler worked theball down for short shots. The Go­phers controlled the ball much of thetime, ·but were unable to work itwithin striking distance, although attimes their consistent short passinggame seemed about to prove effective.Varsity's Shots Go Amiss.Aside from playing a stellar de­fensive game, the Varsity displayednumerous indications of the recentslump. Wild shooting by every manon the team broke up a large part ofthe team play, and the men wereunable to work the ball down thefloor. The Maroon free throwers con­tinued to work ineffectively. Steven­son annexed three out of numerousattempts, while George missed twoin succession, which would have wonthe game without the overtime pe­riod.Minnesota took the lead at thestart on a basket by Pynn, and heldit during the greater part of the half.Several times Chicago brought thescore to a tie, but was unable to takethe lead and hold it. At half time,Minnesota led, 9-7. Bee Lawler .wasthe individual star for the Gophers,annexing two .clever baskets in thisperiod. The free throwing of Lewiswas also eeffctive, the Minnesotaguard negotiating three out of fourattempts.Spur Near Finish.In this period, Lawler and Kix­miller staged a slashing contest andthe former soon received three per­sonal fouls. Play in the first halfwas slow and it did not liven up un­til the final moments of the secondperiod. Chicago gradually cut downthe Gophers' lead, and at one periodwas leading, 15-11. Lewis and I..w­ler, however, shot two spectacularbaskets just before the final whistl�and brought the score to a tie. Atthis time, Lawler received his fourthpersonal foul, when he pushed Kix­miller into the bleachers.Coach Page sent George into thegame in Stevenson's place at theopening .of the second period.

We do not want, he de­clared. to bother with the conglomer­ate mass we have to deal with at In­terscholastics, but the men whom weknow will make good Chicago men.And then he concluded his remarkswith the rather unfortunate state­ment that "we need good athletic ma­terial at Chicago, heaven knows."This speech and this attitudebring up again the ever-recurringquestions of what we' mean by theterm, "good Chicago men," and ofwhether we are introducing the U ni­versity to high school men for theirown good, pointing out to them awonderful educational institution, orwhether our sole aim is to securegood athletic teams for the Univer­sity.I:,I HELPING THE HIGH SCHOOLMAl'I.In "Stover at Yale"-sto�house ofinflammatory matter concerning col­lege organizations-one character ismade continually to ask the question:"What have I done for the college?Why, the thing that interests me iswhat bas the college done for me?"A thousand hands are raised inimmediate answer. What you putinto a thing, that much return do youdraw for it; only by helping the Uni­versity ean you secure .help from it·only by putting forth your best ef:forts to further the interests of· theUniversity can you sec'UI'e from itthose benefits which are so highlyprized.So we searcll diligently for goodfootball players, in order that theymay get mueh from the University.They put in aU their aftemoons andpart of their evenings, in addition totime spent in class rooms, in the in­terests of the University, and there­fol'ey will draw from the college bene­fit in proportion. Accordingly everyeffort is put forward to get more ofthese men than Comell or nIinoisdo, in order that a larger number mayobtain the benefits we have to offer.We think we are doing a splendid"thing by the University with ourloyalty" talk, and our wild efforts todraw good men-athletes-to theUniversity.

I continueed on foot, leavingthe town barely fifteen minutes be­fore a body of German Uhlans en­tered. My orderly was killed by theUhlans. It was then too late to getto Antwerp, so I started for St.Nicholas, reaching there at mid­night. I was told that the advanceguard of the Germans had just pass­ed through. I was therefore forcedto . get through the German lines inorder to get back to the Belgian&­and I did this with good results."Damage Exaggerate."The damage done to the city ofAntwerp is exaggerated. It does notcompare with the bombardment ofmany towns in Flanders. The Ger­man soldiers whom I saw after beingcaptured were all optimistic. Theirhatred is entirely against the Eng­lish. I once talked with a Bavariancaptive and asked him if he were notnow convinced that the Prussian sys­tem was wrong, that it had made amistake in precipitating the war. Hesaid that before the war he had op­posed it; but that now he and hiscomrades were out and out in favorof it."Griffiths spoke at the Quadrangleclub last night on different phasesof the war. He will remain in thecity for several weeks before depart­ing for the seat of war again. Hemay enter the active service withthe Allies.COMMITTEE WILL DRAWUP CLUB CONSTITUTIONPhoebe Baker was appointed chair­man of the committee to draw up aconstitution for the Neighborhoodclubs at the special meeting of theNeighborhood council yesterday.Other members of the committee areEugenia Hall and Laura Walter.
