Mr. Latane attacks the workof the American Historical associa­tion committee on the grounds ofsecrecy and packing for the purposeot bringing in an instructed report."The association appointed a com­mittee last year, with me as chair­man, to consider its constitution andorganization," stated Prof. McLaugh­lin. "It soon became evident thatsome discontented persons were in­tent upon discrediting this commit­tee. When these malcontents de­manded my' resignation, I naturallyrefused."It is impossible to meet thecharges in an interview. I simplymust use the word I have often usedin this connection and say that theyare ridiculous. Following are ex-.. eerpts, however, ·from .... my--Ietter . ofDecember 4, in answer' to-a letter ofNovember 30 from Prof. Latane, con­taining· his charges:"Excerpts From Letter.I may say, however, even thoughI imagine my statement will carryno weight, that I am in no way pe­culiarly responsible for the commit­tee's not being prepared at this mo­ment to make a report. If you havehad, as you doubtless have, experi­ence with committees, you know thateven if every member is anxious toact and act wisely, as was the casewith this committee, it is not alwayseasy; in fact, it is always difficult, toget things said and done with thesame dispatch that 'might be used ifone person acted alone. Anyone ofus could have prepared a report longago. .But I am not making up the com­mittee's mind.

The petition is signed byover �co students and has been ap­proved by nearly every student or­ganization on the campus.It is probable that the trustees willdiscuss the matter very shortly to­day, owing to lack of time for alengthy consideration of the propo­sition, and then refer the petition toa committee. The committee willsubmit a report at a later meeting ofthe board and then some final actionwill be taken. The exact system oftraining desired at the University willhave to be .determlned at that time.President Judson has approved ofthe idea, saying that he is an advo­cate of military drill in the Univer­sity.

STATE LEGISLATURE"Wet" and "Dry" Factions HoldSway Over Transactionsin Lower House,POLITICAL DANGERS RESULTOveremphasis Upon Problem BarsDesirable Men from Attemptingto Gain Membership.Following is the seventh of theseries of articles, appearing on sue­cessive Tuesdays in The Daily Ma­roon, which treats questions of a socialor political nature, associated in somedefinite manner with the University.Today's contribution is by Mr. IsaacS. Rothschild, '97, not only an alum­nus, but also the representative ofthe University district in the Illinoisstate legislature. Mr. Rothschild waselected to office from the fifth dis­trict in 1912 and was re-elected in1914; he has taken an active interestin all bills introduced,. and is knownas one of the most valuable membersof the legislature. The full impor­tance of the ctuestion with which· thewriter deals is difficult to grasp; theextent to which the liquor problemovershadows all other Issuea in thelower house is vividly set forth in thefollowing artiele.)By Mr. Isaac S. Rothschild..In my legislative experience of fouryears I would say that the one mostprominent. problem has been . that - of"wet. and.. .drj_'J . .:....l1.: _w.aB.. bY�J\o...,lJlean.sthe most important question and wasonly one of numerous. questions of. equal or .greater importance.In my first session in the Dlinoislegislature, the House of Represen­tatives was hopelessly deadlocked formany weeks upon the election of aSpeaker, -and a solution was had, asit afterward developed, only by a se­cret agreement between the "drys"and the speaker-elect. In my secondsession there was a similar deadlock,with the difference that here one po­litical party had a clear majority andthat a group of. ''wets'' openly re­fused to support any "dry" speaker,and finally succeeded in organizing'the House upon a "wet" basis.Coincide on Non-Liquor Quesiton.There is a degree of cohesivenessin groups ,upon legislative mattersand in both sessions there was atendency of each faction to vote to­gether upon questions, non-politicaland not affecting the liquor traffic.From my observation the politicalmethods of both sides are about thesame. Both go about the election ofmembers in about the same way;both are non-political in their hand­ling of men and measures; that is tosay, they work with both politicalparties wherever possible. Both alsodemand absolute allegiance on thepart of their partisans.A member must be either a "wet"or a "dry." This means that, eachfaction decides in advance the meas­ures it favors or rejects and that allof the faction must vote accordingly.Independent judgment upon a specificmeasure is thus discouraged. Per­sonally, the greatest difficulty that I,experienced in my political careerhas been because I have claimed theright to consider each "wet-dry" billas a separate proposition and havevoted accordingly. This made mepersona non grata with both factionsand led to some difficulties. .The Vote That Is Paramount.Frequently I have heard from menof each faction: "It makes no differ-(Continued on page 4)• MAROON FIVE DEFEATEDBY EVANSTON ACADEMYLack of Team' Play Causes Downfallof Varsity-Schafer and Clark AreIndividual Scoring Stars for Chi­cago.Lack cf team play defeated theVarsity five in its game with thest rong Evanston Academy team yes­terday, 30 to 24.

The announcement that the clubwould invite notable citizens to ad­dress the students under its roof wasmade at the beginning of the Autumnquarter. It is a big idea, and one toodeserving to be neglected. It is im­possible to refrain from comment,however, concerning the lapse of timesince this enterprise was launched,during which no political leader, nomember of the cabinet, no distin­guished national figure has graced theplatform of the' club. The studentbody does n�t doubt the worthiness ofthis undertaking; but it does needadded assurance that' tile motto of theclub is "facta non verba."� , THE "WHY" AND uWHEREFORE"OF MILITARY TRAINING:The first thought which occurs tothe reader of the communication onmilitary training, appearing in anoth­er column on this page, is that thewriter has painted the American col­lege as an institution which is nearerto perfection than the most inveterateoptimist would have us believe. Ifthe universities had attained thatUtopian state where "they exist sole­ly for the purposes of extending anddeveloping the arts and sciences, anddisseminating the knowledge thusgained," then the educators, the �r�t­ical college editors and the admInIS­trators of colleges could heave a sighof contentment and settle back amidsoft cush ions to smoke clear Havanas.Our communicator's assertion thatthe instruction of soldiery wouldchange our institutions of learninginto military camps is debateable, tosay the least. It is hardly customaryto regard Cornell university, wheremilitary drill is strinaently enforced,as a military training camp, wherethe voices of the professors aredrowned out by the incessant firing ofrifles and the roar of artillery.If military drill turns a universityinto a military training camp, thendocs our present system of athleticsnot create of our "institution of learn­irg" an athlet.ic training camp? Andif some of the effort devoted to thegridiron, diamond and track, were di­verted into channels which made fora more secure nation, would the re­sult be a deterioration of .the univer­sity's ideals? The 'writer of thecommunication assumes that the merefact that the University of Chicagois not a state institution absolves itfrom responsibility to the nation. Itis a generally accepted viewpoint that" ', '�! �I.• j"�.r.�,I·t. '," �..,. every citizen owes a debt to his coun­try ,-the paying' of which is synony­mous with patriotism� and it is agross misconception to believe that at­tendance at a private institution clearsthe student of this debt,To establish military training at theUniversity would be anything but aretrogressive step. Proof of thestatement that unpreparedness makesfor peace is still forthcoming. Andthe example of England is a pertinentillustration of the fact that prepared­ness is not only a necessary precau-,tion in this day and age. but that it isan invaluable asset. And where couldwe find a more stable nucleus for ourpolicy of farsightedness than in theAmerican universities and colleges,where over one quarter of a million.able- bodied men are available for serv­ice to their nation?The Syracuse Daily Orange, in itseditorial column of the issue of De­cernber 8, prints, without giving cred­it, an editor-ial appearing in The DailyMaroon of November 10. This is con­sidered unethical even among metro­politan journalists.The first snow flurry has its com­pensat ions, In addition to being ablessing for the poor farmer, it in­vig orates the anaemic fraternitypledge, who is given the opportunityto shovel off the walks.Woodrow Wilson, '79, is a quondammanaging editor of The Daily Prince­tonian. Would you say "Great oaksfrom small acorns do grow" or "Oh,what a fall was there!"?COMIUUNICATIONS gained. They are then the embodi­ment of the highest ideals of thecommunity. Should we defile themby making them serve as a recruit­ing ground for a phase of presentday life that is unquestionably in­ferior in its aims and ideals to thoseof our universities?If Congress decides that the coun­try needs "preparedness" in order tosafeguard it against invasion, let thisbe established not through our uni­versities, but by means of summermilitary training camps, nationalguard corps, and similar organiza­tions, whose sole purpose is to trainmen for national defense. Such ascheme is really more efficient, anddoes not degrade the purpose of ouruniversities. If a word may be addedas to the inefficiency of militarydrill in an undergraduate institu­tion, the writer can state that heserved for two years in' a universitywhere military drill was required,and in a university whose militarytraining department was . rankedamong the best in the country. Hecan honestly state that as far aspreparation for an actual emergency,goes he fee!s that the training heand some thousand other young mengained in those two years was prac­tically useless. The reason for theinefficiency was not the lack of ablecommanders and drill masters, butthe lack of time which was allottedto it, because one attends a univer­sity for other purposes than militarytraining. Think it over!Leonard B. Loeb.Modernism VB. l\lediaevalism.To the EditOr:John Spargo and Sidney Hillman,in the interests of humanity and asquare deal for all, lectured at theUniversity last week. Five years agotheir messages would have been re­ceived with a well-guarded reserva­tion mingled with a conservatismslow to accede to the then slowlymoulding movement toward a devel­opment and safe-guarding of therights and welfare of human beingsrather than the mere expansion ofmachines 'and things. But it's all dif­ferent now. Our reception of thestated viewpoints of acknowledged"modern" leaders is yet well-guarded:but it is also' open-minded, free fromprejudices bound up with a centuryof capitalistic deveolpment, free froma time when capitalism and capitalwere alone considered the 'cure-all ofour industrial and social diseases.We may not fully agree, but we areat least sympathetic.But when in response to the effortsof these two giants of the' presenttime, an address is given ostensiblyto counteract the effects of the "so­cialist and trade-unionist" we almostunconsciously, although with a per­fectly open-minded. and fair attitude.do not "sympathize." A prejudicedand narrow attack on the doctrinesof another is at its best. merely acounter-balancing factor, rarely posi­tive. But when such an attack isfounded on the most shadowy ofgrounds, on jokes and funny stories,on no logical reasoning in any part,it becomes a decidedly negative fac­tor, even reacting on its perpetrator.The almost universal condemnationof the "classical' economic, businessman's" point of view in matters af­fecting industrial and social adjust­ment seems to be fairly accomplish­ed even now. At its best ,an. exposi­tion and attempted justification of itsworn-out and absurd tenets is spine­less and anaemic. To further at­tempt to maintain it on a par with"modern," progressive ideas is asuseless as an attempt to draw water !from the snout of a pump whose dra \v• pipe leads to its owner's kitchenrather than the snout.

Com­munieatlcns must be signed as an evi­denee �fJf good faith, .although thename will not be published withoutthe writer's eonsent.)Should Our Universities Be MilitaryTraining Camps?To the Editor:-Anent the question' of militarytraining in the University of Chicagoa few words from a slightly differentstandpoint than that of the previouscommunications might not be out ofplace. The question of the advisa­bility of "national preparedness" jstoo broad a question to discuss inthis communication, and it will even­tually be settled by the Americanpeople as a whole through their chos­en representatives in Congress. It isI the advisability of turning our "in­stitutions of learning" into militarycamps that this article intends toquestion. In this discussion we canleave out of consideration those uni­versities' and colleges which, by vir­tue of governmental endowment, arcrequired to demand compulsory mili­tary training. Such a demand is ina manner just, for if the nationgrants a man a chance to receive aneducation free of charge he owes thenation a debt, which he should pay ina manner which the nation sees fit.Whether this is the highest purposeto which the services of such a manmay be put is another question.However, this is in no measure thesituation here at the University, norin a large number of our g6eateruniversities and colleges.It is generally admitted that war,with its attendant destruction of hu­man life, of property, and its per­version of the highest attainments ofcivilization and science, no matterwhat the impelling motive may be,is not the highest aim of our exist­ence. Our universities and colleges,on the other hand, are unquestion­ably the centers from which eman­ates the greater part of our moderncivilization. For they exist solelyfor the purpose of extending, anddeveloping, the arts and sciences, anddisseminating the knowledge thus• � : -(.','in BLLW an' boast are propsU for a weak case.

P. 978.Walter Camp Places Two ConferenceStars on First Squad-Russell IsQuarter on Thir,r Seledion-Buck"sRelegation A Surprise.Bart Macomber of Illinois andCaptain-Elect Baston of Minnesotawere the only Conference football.stars who received places on WaItetCamp's first All-American selection.Captain Russell was placed at quar­ter on the third team. Only seven. out of the thirty-three men honoredwere representatives of western uni­versities.The greatest surprise to followersof Conference football was the relega­tion of Buck of Wisconsin to the sec­ond team. He had been picked by amajority of the critics of the eastand west for tackle on the first team.Chamberlain of Nebraska, anotheruniversal choice for all-western end, •was not oven mentioned. The selec­tion of Baston eame as rather a sur­prise, although he was undoubtedly ofthe first rank, yet many believed thatCamp would select Captain Biermanto represent.' the championship Go­pher eleven.Heavy Players Given Preference.In making his selection it appearsas if Mr. Camp gave preference tothe heavy hard-driving style of play­er. Spears and Schlachter who weregiven the guard positions add a totalweight of 500 pounds to the phantomeleven while Gilman of Harvard andAbell of 'Colgate are tackles of theheavy range type. In giving his rea­sons for selecting Mahan and King,the former by the way needing littl�explanation for his presence on theteam, Mr. Camp declared that theywere strong runners, fully' able topierce any line, or to circle any ends.Macomber was chosen because of hisproficiency in handling the forwardpass which is an art not quite as welldeveloped in the east as in the west.It is doubtful if Mr. Camp knew hewas selecting another player of thathard running type when he selectedMacomber •.It is only speculation to picture thestyle of play which would be adopted,by the coach of this team. With hisheavy line and "hard running backs"he could undoubtedly pound his op­ponents' line to pieces. 'On the otherhand he could start Mahan or Kingfrom a kicking formation similar tothe one that Haughton used at Har­vard, or he could use the Macomberto. Baston combination in advancingthe ball on forward passes. In sum­ming up the facts concerning thepoints of the team we might verywell use Walter Eckersall's annualclosing line to his selection, "withproper coaching this team 'could beatanything in the world" but to this weadd the philosophy of the man whojust having seen Niagara Falls forthe first time was asked by an en­thusiastic young lady if he. did notthink the tremendous flow of waterwas wonderful, and replied laconical­ly "What's to prevent it?"Parents' Association Meets.The teaching of modem languageswas the subject of discussion at theDecember meeting of the Parents'association of the University highand elementary schools last night,Mrs. Hans Gronow, of the elementaryschool, and Miss Lydia Schmidt, ofthe high school, talked on the teach­ing of German, and Miss JosetteSpink, of the elemetary school. andMr. Arthur Bovee, of the high school,discussed the teaching of 'French.Seaman Suggests Problems.Philip Seaman, superintendent ofthe Chicago Hebrew institute, discuss­ed the problems confronting the Jew­ish race at the meeting of the Me­norah society last night.
