The British wool embargo has entirely shut off the exportation of sheep and wool to Japan so they must supply themselves. Contrary to the general idea of the Japanese, they do not all dress in silks and wool is very much in demand there. Dr. Tanimura is a graduate of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania and has a doctor's degree from Cor nell. He knew first Japanese graduate to receive a degree at M. A.

FOURTH OFFICERS CAMP MAY 15. M. A. C.'s Quota 35—Graduates Only, Eligible. Major Wrightson, commandant, has just received notice from the war de partment that the fourth officers' train ing camp will commence about May 15. Beside enlisted men, alumni of colleges of M. A. C.'s rank are eligible for the camp and will make up a cer tain per cent of the enrollment. The quota which M. A. C. may furnish is It is specifically stated that 35 men. these must be graduates of the institu tion. Major Wrightson is particularly anxious to fill M. A. C.'s quota at an early date and all graduates wishing to apply for the fourth camp should get their applications in to the Major by May 1. Besides being graduates they must have had at least one year of military instruction in college, that is, men who substituted athletics en tirely for drill would not be eligible.

The Public Speaking Fund has fin ally gone "over the top" to $500 and the total amount placed in a Liberty Bond of the third issue. To E. W. Ranney, '00, of Greenville, belongs the credit of having carried the fund over to a $500 bond. Hardly had the Rec ord gone out telling the amount we lacked and asking for help when Mr. Ranney's check was received. Since then one or two additions have come in which will be a nice nest egg for the second heat in bringing the alumni the mark to public speaking fund originally established as its upper limit.

It is felt that alumni of the the en gineering course will be interested in learning of the new forge shop which is a part of the new engineering equip ment that has replaced that destroyed by fire. A great deal is being done in metal processing these days and we wish the to acquaint alumni with work M. A. C. is doing and is pre pared to do in that line in our new and rather unusual forge shop. Prof. Poison has been kind enough to pre pare this excellent description of the shop, the modern equipment with which the new shop is fitted and the facilities for giving courses in present day metal working methods, particu larly those of heat treatments of steel. In the new M. A. C. shop building that is located back of Well's Hall will be found the Forge Shop and Foundry. The entire building is 50x 160 ft. ground plan. The west end is occupied by the Forge Shop and the floor space devoted to this work is 50 x80 ft. In this Forge Shop provision is made for taking care of forty-eight students at one time in forge and anvil work. The forges are made up of two styles—the one style being the single unit forge, located in groups of two. Six of these forges are provided with hand blowers and the other six are provided with power blast. The second style of forge is built up to ac commodate four men. There are nine of these four unit forges. The forges are down-draft carrying away the smoke and fumes from the fire by means of exhaust ducts placed below the floor. A set of bleachers is provided for seating the class before the demon stration forge so that they may take notes and observe how the instructor performs the various kinds of class work that they have to perform in turn. The stock room is provided with a supply of materials and also acts as a storeroom for tote boxes in which each man's work is kept between class periods. Enough boxes are pro vided so that one is assigned to each man. This the work of each man separate and gives the instructor a chance to check up on the work done by the students. facilitates keeping In addition to the forges, sixteen gas furnaees are provided. Eight of these furnaces are of the muffled or semi- muffled type, seven consist of crucible furnaces, and there is one large fur nace which is used for case-hardening work. These furnaces are all heated by city gas and air is provided under pressure so that sufficiently high tem peratures are maintained without dif ficulty. A full set of pyrometers and thermocouples are provided so that temperature may be kept at any de sired point with sufficient accuracy. The instruction given in this shop consists of the forging work as it is given to the regular four year agricul tural students. This work is confined almost entirely to hand forging, some bench work such as riveting, hack saw work, drilling and tapping, and some acetylene welding. This work which is given to all Freshman agricultural students coveres a period of one term at six hours per week. In addition in struction is given to Sophomore En gineering students in forging and heat treatment of steel. The forge work is restricted almost entirely to some of the elementary work and the making of tools. The larger part of the time is devoted to the heat treatment of steel.

RECORD. 7 deavoring to permanently destroy any future possibilities of Russia's being a menace by erecting a line of buffer states on the German east border and at the same time breaking Russia into many small states. In the war of 1866 Prussia had aided Italy in her struggle for a united Italy. Now Bismarck exacts compen sation by drawing her into a union of Austria and Germany known as the Triple Alliance of 1882, which has continued unbroken until Italy's with drawal after the opening of the pres ent war. Thus was Europe divided into two camps. In place of the con cert of powers by means of which, since 1815, nations had sought to set tle international differences by mutual agreement, Germany now set up the balance of power between groups of states. Here is the fundamental rea son for the alliances existing in 1914. interpreted The this alliance to mean that they must themselves needs prepare against This they did ultimately through the Triple Entente. Thus was a perhaps diplomatic forms Bismarck's chief title to great ness. At least it is a demonstration of skill hardly less spectacular than his policy of uniting Germany. remaining nations victory which consumated aggression. to defend possible Troubles were not wanting. Even before the Triple Alliance Russia had shown that she desired an outlet to the Mediterranean sea. Also her de signs for leadership among the Slavic races living in and about Austria- Hungary were plainly evident. Actu ated by these motives Russia had en gaged Turkey in war in 1876 over the atrocities perpetrated upon the Bul garians. Russia soon brought Turkey to her knees, but the western powers robbed her of the fruits of the vic tory. The carefully concealed hand the settlement of Bismarck directed made at the congress of powers in Berlin in 1878. This ambition of Rus sia would conflict with the natural desire of Austria, more or less land locked, to control regions to the south in order to get an outlet to the Medi terranean. In these years Germany began to draw closer to Austria as the champion of her cause and to ali enate Russia who in a few years be gan to fraternize with her old oppo nents, England and France, who have constantly opposed Russia's ambition to reach the Mediterranean because of their eastern colonial holdings. For two decades (1871-1890) Bis nearly through diplomatic manipula marck tions, kept Germany in peace. With the succession to the throne of Wil liam II in 1888 the "old pilot was dropped from the ship of state" and a new nand took the wheel. During the thirty years of this reign certain marked characteristics of Germany have become evident. There appears the philosophy of state in which the individual is nothing and the state is all. A man's life is of no consequence except as it may be used to build and extend the state as an entity. This experiments are so arranged as to bring out very clearly the benefits ob tained by the various methods of heat treatment. The work of instruction is in charge of Mr. Walter G.

THE WORLD CONFLICT WITH MILITARISM. BY PROF. E. H. RYDER. This is the second article, in Prof. Ryder's series. briefly In sketched Germany's plans for empire and the historical steps leading up to the war. The final article will follow next week. are it Bismarck, having attained German unity as sketched the preceding in article, now began his policy of peace, partly in order to camouflage his past conduct and partly that the internal interests of Germany might be built up, since Bismarck recognized the ne cessity of economic independence for Germany's welfare. This was not an easy thing to do for a newly born nation existing in the midst of the overly ambitious nations just at this time on the threshold of a period when vast colonial possessions were and being acquired in Africa else where. recovering rapidly France, from her losses and the German im posed penalties, and on fire with a spirit of revenge for the loss of Al sace-Lorraine, must be kept in sub jection. For this purpose the resist ing constraint of England, a commer cial and an industrial competitor with centuries of bitter rivalry behind them would suffice. The friendship of Aus tria must be cultivated in order that her territory the Slavic aggression from the eastward. For this purpose a defensive alliance was effected in 1879 which continues today as the basis of the present co operation between two empires. Meanwhile Russia is menacing on the east, and league with the emperors Austria, Germany and Russia as mem bers serves to protect from immediate is en Just now Germany danger. should withstand the 8 THE M.

Again, philosophy teaches that all manner of outrageous deeds are justifiable if only the state the thinkers have taught that the Ger mans are a species of super-man, su perior beings that are destined to be come the rulers of the world. Finally Germany ceases to be satisfied with her limitations. Having achieved military predominance with the defeat of Austria and France and secured political primacy through the Triple Alliance, Germany began a ca reer of economic transformation un surpassed by anything of the kind in Europe. Only in Japan and America have comparable transitions occurred. In 1870 the Germans were an agricul tural people. Now began an indus trial growth which soon founded large cities with huge manufacturing inter ests for the maintenance of the rap idly growing population. Germany's steel output in 1880 was 500,000 tons; in 1895, 3,000,000 tons; in 1902, 7,- 000,000 tons; and in 1907, 12,000,000 tons. Steel production may be taken as the barometer of a nation's indus trial condition. As Germany believed industry to be necessary, in turn she began to believe in foreign trade. Ef ficiency in production and distribution became a recognized fact. England's supremacy was threatened. The nat ural outgrowth of conditions was a merchant marine in 1913 of more than 4,000 sea-going vessels, a marine excelled only by that of Great Britain. As millions of people at home became dependent upon this trade, of a necessity economic condi tions demanded a navy to defend its existence. "Our future lies upon the sea," says William II, and with this naval policy came the belated effort to secure colonies, or at least spheres of influence, in portions of the globe with the idea regions that would furnish the raw materials and in turn would buy the manufactured goods from the uome industries. From this commercial world empire gradu ally began to grow the desire for po litical world power. In 1900 the gov ernment announced this ambition as follows: "We shall not let ourselves be thrust out from an equality with other powers. * * * We have be come a great power." Pages of evi dence could be produced concerning transformation this most remarkable of the German nation. these these territory The world ambition of Kaiser Wil- helm found a seeming opportunity to assert itself in 1905 when France with the sympathy of England was taking possession of Morocco, the only re in maining unappropriated northwestern Africa. The emperor demanded that his rights of trade be recognized. France, encouraged by an alliance already effected with Russia, pursued an independent course under the leadership of a most capable and aggressive leader, Premier St. Del- casse, who was on fire with an am bition to recover Alsace Lorraine. The alliance with Russia, just noted, In addition had been effected during the nineties by a secret agreement still unpub lished, whereby the two nations are supposed to have entered into mutual defensive relations. to these resources France relied on the friendship of England, who thus far had remained aloof from any formal alliance. The controversy precipitat ed by the demand of William II was fraught with danger to England's in ternational position, so she made it the cause for arraying herself on the side of France, although she assumed no fixed obligations in so doing. About this time, 1905, Russia fought the un happy war with Japan. The outcome of this struggle worked favorably to France, because with Russia humili ated England was ready attach herself since Russia side to that would no longer constitute a menace to England's interests in the near or far east. The conditions are now ripe for the completion of the terms of the Triple Entente, the mutual agree ment of the three peoples, France, England and Russia, under which they enter the present war. Thereby was Germany's hope for supremacy conditions in European and world fact most seriously In the upshot of the Morroccan affair was two things—one, that Germany emerged dissatisfied be cause she was not properly recognized to be a world power by the two na tions most likely to obstruct her pro gress; second, the position of England relative to Germany and France was now realized with certainty. threatened. therefrom to CORRESPONDENCE. From D. D. McArthur '94, real estate broker at 718 E. Street, San Diego, California, March 7, 1918. "Myself and family, consisting of wife and two sons, are very contented here as the climate is so delightful in all seasons. However, if I were a boy again I would not object to the climate of Michigan where I spent so many happy years among the pines and the hemlocks, the cedars, spruce and beech and maples and other forest trees which one associates with life on a new farm; things which seem almost a part of one's self as did the great variety of wild and domestic animals and birds which give such a charm to the life of a boy. But of all the fond recollections of nature and happy environment in "Michigan, My Michigan" the M. A. C. campus, the trees, flowers and gar dens so favored by nature and so artis tically planned by the college manage ment—a fit setting for the student life will ever be held most dear.

It has been a rare privilege to the many of us Americans to have seen Paris—in the brief time allotted us to look about, we were able to view the many beautiful sights of that rightly famous old city. It has been my furth er fortune to see no little of the coun try of France and much of French life—it is all so different—so old—so "stony"; I should add, "isn't it" for I know you have seen it all long ago. At present I am living at the home of a French family, eating all meals there too—which affords me no little insight the French people "in the rear"—since I am quite a ways from any scene of action.

Crozier has gotten several Records and they are welcome. We learn a few things over here that are outside of our class room work. We can more easily realize the strength of the enemy we're fighting and his dastardly methods of acomp- lishing his ends. We realize that we are here for only one reason—to beat the Boche. We get the spirit of the war and I believe you might call it a hatred for the Germans. Of course this will be greatly increased when we get to the front. The more I see of the French peo ple, I see how far behind the times they are. I can't help but think that the American soldier is going to show them how it's done.
