Michaelis was ready to apply to give

reichstag resolution. The radical party,
he declared. would examine the chan

support him if possible, but should

TRUNKS OF ARMY
OFFICERS MUST
BEAR NO LABELS

Because of reports that the
Germans learned of the de-
parturc of the first Pershing
expedition from an American
port through the labels on the
baggage of some of the officers
who formed part of it. the War
Department has deemed it ex-
pedient to issue a general or
der as follows:
"An officer ordered for duty
in Europe will not disclose to
any unauthorized person the
name of the ship upon which
he is to sail or the date of sail
ing. All personal baggage for
warded to a point of embarka-
ton for oversee shipment will
be addressed in care of the
quartermaster at that port and
information furnished the quar-
termaster of the disposition to
be made of it. In marking the
baggage there must be nothing
to indicate the name of the
vessel upon which it is to be
shipped or the date of sailing"

The Literature Dept. Meeting

The Literature Department was called to order by Mrs. Robinson Tuesday, January 9. Nearly every member of the department was in attend ance. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Mrs. Wente, and roll call was responded to by the names of French dramat- ists.
 Mrs. Wente read a very in teresting paper on the life of Sardon. Mrs. c. H. Appleton review the drama "Patrie" in very clear and comprehensive manner. The play presents the struggle between human passion, and love of ones country. Sardon took for his back ground the down trod- den Flanders under the cruel subjection of the Spaniards with the Duke of Alba at their head. The play is as moving as on the day it was written. It is true to history that King Philip of Spain executed 5O,O0O in his war. "Patrie" be played in France after the present war is ended. After the review a general discussion followed and the technique of the play was brought out.
