A. IN RETURN GAME 11-6 The Score
The Varsity defeated the N. Y.
Military Naval School at Perry, N.
Y., in a loosely played game characterized by hard hitting on the part of the Varsity. The team left Thursday night in autos for Silver Lake and returned Fri- day. It was one of the finest trips had by the team in the last four years. The Cadets and Col.
Drum, the commandant, vied with each other to show the fellows a good time, the Lake furnished a fine opportunity, and the team took a chance and spent Friday morning on the Lake.
The game was called at 3 :30 with Marsh in the box for the Cadets and Blumenthal dishing them over for the Varsity.
In the first Hills was safe on an error and scored on a hit.
The Varsity could not connect with Marsh in their half, Luck and Hopkins ozoned and King rolled out to Jamison. The mili- tary boys added two in the sec- ond. In the third, Buck singled, Hopkins sacrificed and King singled; Crawford rolled one to- ward first. Buck and King scorec by brilliant base running. The Varsity added three in the fourth

In the women's match Miss iolmes by her careful and per- istent playing, overcame the hard hives and fast service of Miss Jottrell, winning in straight sets.
A thrill was injected into the sec- nd set when Miss Cottrell with Jie games 5-0 against her in a de- ermined effort to ward off de- feat, took six straight games but was unable to prevent her oppon-
nt annexing the next three.
Vars and Groves in the doubles,

ROCHESTER FORMS VOLUN TARY MILITARY ORGANI-
ZATION
First College To Take This Step The University of Rochester has recently organized a volunteer military corps, the first of its kinc in the country. Captain Henry R. Allen (retired) of the National Guard and New York State Re- serves, is in charge of the work
The primary object in forming such a corps is, according to Cap- tain Allen, for national defence, to train men who, in an emerg- ency, would act as volunteer offi- cers and, in their turn, train ignorant volunteers. The train- ing in military drill and tactics, the value of the discipline, and the physical benefit of the work are cited by Captain Allen as ele- ments which make the innovation a desirable one.
JUBILEE SINGERS An excellent musical entertain- ment was enjoyed Thursday ••.wen- mg by a small audience at Kenyon Memorial Hall when the Tenne- see Jubilee Singers gave a de- ightful program under the aus- pices of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M.
'. A. The evening's program con- sisted of negro melodies and folk
songs intermingled with humor- ous readings by Mr. Pryor. The pleasing bearing of both Mr.
and Mrs. Pryor, together with
;heir well-trained voices, gave to the audience a delightful view of

lege seal instead of limiting it to ,the Seniors as at present, was passed by a good majority, many Seniors and Juniors voting for the change.
The revision which will make it necessary that all "procs" be posted on the campus, was voted affirmatively by all except the Freshmen who opposed it rather weakly. This new feature to the "proc" contest is undoubted-, ly the best that has been added to this contest in the past few years when an attempt has been made in attempting to make it a fair contest. All the other revisions were unanimously favored.

My Dear Pres. Davis:
I wish to thank you for giving me the opportunity to obtain the fine pic- ture of the campus, which was re- ceived a few days ago in good con- dition. I have it framed and hung in one of my school rooms.
It is a constant reminder of many days spent at Alfred, and shows many changes in the campus, and all f note in the way of improvement, which must be a great source of gratification to you, who have had charge of the work there for many years.
With best wishes for continued prosperity and with my personal re- gards to you and your family, I re- main

GOSSIP OF THE COLLEGES John F. Coar, professor of Ger- man at the University of Roches- ter, refused to teach his classes the morning following the sinking of the Lusitania, explaining to them that under the present circumstances he felt unable to do so because of the sinking of the Lusitania. He said he did not feel able to teach the ideals of Goethe and Schiller so wholly in- compatible with the present con- ditions.

"Long George" was relieved in the fifth and King took up the pitching burden and kept the Ca- dets from denting the rubber un- til the seventh when three counted on a series of errors and hits. The last two innings were uneventful for both sides as far as runs were concerned.
For the Varsity the hitting of Buck, King, G. Crawford and Howe featured while for the Ca- dets Jamison and Colgate starred.

No one is more sincerely in favor of the peace movement than are we, but in spite of the results of her investigation, we would differ with Columbia as to the methods best suited for furthering it. It seems to us the height of foolhardiness to advance, at a time like this, propaganda for the discouragment of a further build- ing up of our army and navy. It seems to us a deliberate ignoring of conditions as they are, acting upon an unwarranted assumption that they are as they should be The movement, in principle, if right, but this is not the time for it. It is right and proper, anc in accordance with western pro gressiveness, that we in America should set an example for the world, but, if we are to do it, in the name of Heaven, let's choos a more suitable time.
There are crises—like the one which confronts us now'—when there is but one course to take
onsistent with national honor md the maintenance of the
"ights of our citizens wherever heir legitimate interests may all them, regardless of what the est of the world is doing. If ,ve fail to uphold these principles we shall set the world an ex- imple of cowardice, losing pres- age as a nation and power to do
?ood; by such a course we should defeat our own ends. Evolution aas not yet brought the world to a level of idealism that will admit of such a course of action. It is good that we should wish to aid in raising it toward that level, but we can not do it by reducing our facilities for defense nor by failing to increase them. President Wil- son has taken the only honorable step in presenting his note to the German government. He is backed by the entire nation; we all realize that there was no alternative.
Here our responsibility ends, but that is no sign that the affaii is ended. Suppose, for the pake of argument, that Germany de- cides it is not compatible with what she considers her best inter- ests to comply with the condi- tions of our note. In that event arbitration failing—as it must iJ both nations stand firm—what, pray, would be the result? What else but war—war unsought bj us, yet forced upon us by a con catination of events over which we had no control and to which we could react in but one way?
Where then would be our idealists with their infinite faith in hu nan goodness and their high-sounding
— though platitudinous — utter- ances? Where then would lie the blood guilt of responsibility for our unpreparedness ?
This crisis might, very conceiv- ably take such a turn; in a thou- sand other possible, even probable, crises we should face the same situation. Is this, then, the time for creating a sentiment against strengthening our national de- fenses? What true American,
what true son of the Pilgrim fathers would answer yes?
If, however, we possessed an army large enough to protect our nation—that is, to garrison our Eorts and man our coast defenses—
and a navy well enough equipped, both as to supplies and men, to protect our interests at sea, it is safe to say that Germany, or any other nation, would think twice before venturing to infringe our rights, with the result that we might be spared any complications at all. If, on the other hand, we be- came involved in a war not ot' our own seeking, how much shorter must it be if we were able to repel all invasion and protect our ship- ping, leaving business to go on al- most as before? How much bet- ter must such a result be than that for instance prophesied in Cleve- land Moffett's "Conquest of America? (Cleveland Moffett is by the way, a military expert, and speaks as one intimately convers- ant with the conditions existing in our army and navy. His arti- cle, appearing in the May <;Me- Clures," furnishes much food for thought.) How much bettei would this be than to run the risk of a possible loss of our ex- istence as a. nation, or at .'easi a crippling of our prestige, anc a loss of power? How woulc such a result help the world to attain the goal of our ideal oj universal peace ?
Not that we should build up any such system as Germany has hac to support, but it seems so obvi ous as not to admit of contradic iton that we should be prepared for defense—not aggression, mere ly defense.
The statistics quoted in our arti cle on the report of the Anti Militaristic League, are based up on the opinion registered b;
thirty-six colleges only. This fac rather invalidates their signifi cance; it looks to us like a hast) generalization. We should lik to hear from other colleges, froi:
ur alumni, or any others who are iterested in this question, which s one in which we, as college
>eople, should take a vital inter- st.
The agitation for additional ten- lis courts which has been evident or sometime, received a great im- aetus from the recent tournament.
With only three courts it is be- soming a more pressing question low to handle the increasing num- )ers who are every day becoming levotees of the game. It is very apparent that something should done to meet this demand and alleviate the situation where so nany persons await a chance to play. The Fiat hopes to see his question taken up by some responsible organization such as
;he athletic association or the ollege authorities. It does, of course, imply some expense, but it would seem that the situation
!ias now become one of sufficient importance as to make it possible to find a way to finance such a scheme. /
Again we would call the atten- tion of the student body to the necessity of giving the guests of the college a hearty welcome to- morrow, and of showing them Old Alfred at her best.

RESULTS OF ANTI-MITI- TARISTIC CANVASS
Announcement of League
EMERSON W. AYARS, M. D.
Approximately 63,000 student*
in thirty-seven colleges are op posed to the practice of military drill and summer camps for col lege men, while about 17,000 are in favor of the idea, according to an announcement just made by the Collegiate Anti-Militarism League.
The Anti-Militarism League, of which Karl G. Karston of Colum- bia University is president, was formed several months ago to fight the militaristic propaganda among colleges of such organiza- tions as the National Security League and the American Legion, and particularly the agitation for introducing military training for students. In an investigation in- to the opinion of college students, the League has received letters from thirty-six colleges, represent- ing 80,000 students.
In its inquiry the League says that three questions have been sked: 1, whether military drill ex- ists and if the students favor the plan; 2, whether summer camps exist and whether the students be- lieve they are beneficial; 3, whether lectures on tactical sub- jects form part of the college cur- riculum and with what sentiment are they received.
It is reported that efforts have been made in each college to make a canvass of the students when- ever practicable, and in other cases to judge the majority opinion by questioning representa- tive men. The results are fairly conclusive, says the president of the League.
'Of the colleges questioned,"
(announces the report, "twenty- two show that a majority oppose the introduction of military drill, while only fourteen favor it. In other words, practically 60 per cent of the colleges register a de- cided opposition to military drill for students. In the twenty-two colleges opposing drill are 63,000 students; in the fourteen colleges favoring drill are only 16,700. It seems to be a fair inference that

these figures represent the propor- tionate opinion of college men on the subject.
"Another vital point in connec- tion with the above statistics," the report continues, "is that the pres- nce of military drill in a college increases the military spirit. This refutes the argument of militant advocates of 'preparedness' that drill does not increase the material sentiment. Of the nine colleges which already have military drill, seven are in favor of its continu- ance. Of the twenty-seven which lave no form of drill, twenty-two are opposed to its introduction.
"The same tendency is revealed n the facts concerning summer samps. Out of the thirty-six col- eges from which replies have )een received to date, six show a najority favor summer camps for college men. Three of these six lave at present compulsory or vol- mtary military drill during the
chool year.
"In the case of tactical lectures he result is similar. Six colleges
*eport that such lectures already orm a part of the curriculum.
four of these six report a senti- nent in favor of their continuance, the thirty which do not have actical lectures only four an- lounce an opinion in favor of heir introduction."
The president of the League says hat while the figures cannot be elied upon absolutely, because of he haste in which the canvass vas made, the cumulative evi- lence establishes the overwhelm- ng sentiment of the college men f the United States against mili- arism.
'The militaristic student," says Ir. Kersten, "is more aggressive ,nd more likely to publish his iews than the pacifist student.
Except for this fact I believe our
investigation would have shown a still stronger opinion against mili- tarism in colleges than the pres- ent proportion of 4 to 1. The general sentiment seems to be to wait until the issue of the war in Europe has been settled and the world has a chance to see where it stands. Few of the young men questioned were ready to have the United States left defenceless.
They merely Avent on record as be- lieving that the existing status of the army and navy was sufficient for the present. They are opposed to any agitation now for heavier ependitures in armament.
"The attitude of the students seems to follow, to a great extent, that of the American press. There is a general belief that the end of the war will determine whether the United States shall join with Europe in a general limitation of armaments, or whether our nation will be compelled to follow in the beaten path that has so often proved the fallacy of the use of rifles and cannons as peace-mak- ers.
"One of the most significant facts revealed by the letters is that no jingoistic sentiment exists in the students questioned. There is nothing of a desire to build \ip an army prepared to conquer for- eign territory. The possible fate of the Phillipines arouses no par- ticular anxiety. The demand for a greater America is barely pres- ent.
"Above all things that the an- swers have shown,'' is Mr. Kar-.
sten's further statement, "is the fact that the home of the chauvin- ist is not in the college and uni-' versity. One must rather look for it in the secret chambers of dollar diplomacy and in the ex- ecutive offices of the manufactur- ers of shrapnel and 14 inch guns.''
ACADEMY BUILDING
Two Plans For Its Use Advanced—
Trustees Will Decide Com- mencement Week
As Commencement week draws near the action that the univer- sity trustees will take on the Ac- ademy building, which will he va- cated as a preparatory school thi year, becomes of considerable in- terest to alumni and students oi Alfred. There have been several suggestions advanced as to the best plan to be pursued but the two that seem to be most in lavoi are that it either be equipped as a gymnasium or that it be fitted up into an alumni hall.
The gymnasium proposition is unquestionably the one most in accord with the student body's desires—that is until the greatly needed modern gymnasium is a reality. It would be a great ad- vancement for physical instruc- tion as compared with our pres- ent facilities if this action were taken while the long winter's ath- letic hibernation that Alfred has been obliged to resort to for sev- eral years would be a thing of the past. That this need is realized by the University faculty is shown by the fact that at the special fac- ulty meeting Saturday evening resolutions were passed asking the trustees that they thoroughly consider such a course.
Those advancing the idea that an alumni hall would be advisable have the argument of sentiment in favor of such a course. If this plan is followed the second floor would be rebuilt for an assembly hall with a gallery, seating arrangements and improved stage, while the lower floor would be used for a banquet hall, alumni offices and rooms as might be deemed advisable. This plan has many commendable features, yet whether it would be advisable to do this temporarily at a sacrifice to the physical educational needs of the students which have come to be of such importance in our college life, is a matter of ques- tion. However, it is possible (hat some plan may be advanced where- by both needs may be met satis- factorily.
