THE MICHIGAN DAILYA It, J. RATION Brumm, service, ing to Prof. J. R. the university news Ahubb House Open year round ATE $4.25 per Week G. S. CHUBB, Proprietor . A. NEELANDS, Steward more space is being given this year by the newspapers receiving the copy sent out than ever before. Everything that is sent in is being placed and this is due in a measure to the changed character of the selections given to the papers. The .state papers in par- ticular have printed all the news se- lections given to the papers. The eastern papers have given especial at- tention to the articles on the housing problem here in the university, the fraternity question and the inter-fra- ternity conference rules, and the uni- versity administration happenings. The university news service is this ye ar proving to be a great success,. and.Prof Brumm is more than pleased with the reception which the newspa- pers are giving the selections sent out under his direction. . i Y lO I ,.

G. English, W. J. Calgins, '14E, and J. T. Naylon, '15E, who journeyed through the very heart of the warring nations, listened to the whistling of shells, slept beneath the whirring of militaty aeropla nes, were halted on the high seas, and finally reached home unscathed, can, perhaps, recount more thrills and chills than any of the others who were caught in Europe on their summer vacation. Starting on a pleasure and photog- raphing trip to Constantinople, the voyagers were caught in mid-ocean With the news of Arch-duke Ferdi- nand's assassination. Nevertheless, they pressed on through England and France without noticing any signs of war, and it. was not until they had reached Venice, that the first declara- tion was made.-- that of Austria against Servia. Even in the face of this, the party pushed on to Vienna, and learned, upon reaching that city, that Russia and Germany were mobil- izing. Basel, Switzerland, offered a place of refuge for them for the first few days of the .war. It was while there, that the wanderers heard the shells of the battle of Mulhausen, in Alsace, and lay awake on their cots, listening to the ghostly war-planes on their deadly night missions. Among the 150 Amer- icans delayed in Basel, a veritable committee of safety was organized, in the form of a society, of which Mr. Naylon was made assistant secretary. The party then made their way to Genoa, to get a ship bound for home. Contrary to conditions in Switzerland, where prices had been reasonable, there the travelers were compelled to pay triple prices for their passage on the "Verona." Even then, their troub- les were not over. The "Verona" was held up out of Gibraltar by a British gunboat, and it was not until they had thrice assured their captors of the absence of Germans on the "Verona," that the latter vessel was allowed to resume h'er journey. FORM M1,1IIGAN CHAPTER OF BIROTERHOOD OF S'r* ANDREW At a recent meeting held in the Epis- copal church, a Michigan chapter of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew was organized. The Brotherhood is com- posed entirely of university men, and as organized consists of 18 members, four regular and 14 probationary. With these, as a nucleus, the association hopes to develop into a much larger institution. 1. C. Johnson, '16, was elected acting director. NO DRUGS - NO DANGER STDETESCAPES Cornelius Baer, '16, Relates Thrilling Experiences of Shipwreck in South Seas LIVES WITH FIERCE CANNIBALS Probably there is no student in the university who has had more exciting or hairbreadth experiences than Cor- nelius G. Baer, '16, who talked to the Cosmopolitan club Wednesday night. He was wrecked on a cannibal island of the south seas 10 years ago, when "sailing before the mast," and his ad- ventures sound like the wildest phan- :asies of a fiction writer. "It was in June 1904, when our ship the 'Aigburth' set sail from Newcastle, Australia, for London," said Baer yes- terday in recounting his adventures. Heavy storms prevented us from tak- ing the usual route around the south coast of Australia, so we started northward through the coral islands and along the coast of New Guinea. We were out about 60 miles from the New Guinea coast, when the ship struck a sunken reef and started to settle in a dangerous manner." "We abandoned the ship and made our way to the shore in row-boats. Upon reaching the island, we noticed natives moving about in the distance and gradually drawing nearer. At close range they turned and made a break for the jungle, terrified at the sight of a white man, which was ap- parently a new thing for them. After much effort, we effected a truce with them and traded some clothing for a few supplies and a fire stick. "A few days later, when all eyes were scanning the sea for a sail, sev- eral canoes appeared. Thinking that perhaps they were filled with traders, we hailed them. What was our dis- may to learn that they were more south sea islanders. It was later learned that they belonged to the cun- ning Arramut tribe of cannibals. At first these savages seemed very friend- ly and agreeable, but when they start- ed feeling of the flesh on our arms and legs w had a few misgivings." "We lived with these people for nine days, all the time growing more and more restless, for they persisted in feeding us great quantities of cocoanut and other fattening foods. The second mate identified the tribe as man-eaters but we could do nothing but wait and watch for a chance to make our get- away. One day a Chinese trader from a neighboring island visited the tribe. We made it known to him through signs that we wished to escape from the hands of the savages. He inform- ed us that a trading schooner would stop at this island in two weeks." "The Chinaman did not have room 'or us in his boat, but the next day we stole several of the natives' boats while they were out hunting and made our way to Manndock island where the Chinese trader was located. None of us doubted but that the savages would have eventually killed and eaten us. "A German sloop, the 'Nubia,' took us off the island A week later. We found our way back to Australia by way of German Guinea and the liner, 'Prinz Sigismund.'" 1*1 6 .rt ~" -a"-u" -. -' In order to aid its treasury, the Uni- versity of Indiana Union has taken over a motion picture show which will be managed and operated by a com- mittee of students. Petitions are being circulated on the campus of the University of Indiana, asking the student council to reinstate the new dances at campus affairs. -0--o-~ 'raining table for the football team at the University of California is con- ducted by the fraternities, one frater- nity being chosen each season. The honor is widely sought. -0- 3n institution worthy of imitation is the "forum," which has been tried out with success at Harvard. Last Tuesday evening 100 undergraduates participated in an open discussion at a war forum conducted by the Harvard Union and the Speakers' club. Forums on this and other public questions will be arranged later. --0--- Women students of the University of Texas are circulating petitions asking that their basketball and other teams be allowed to schedule intercollegiate games. The campaign grows out of the fact that, when the women's bas- ketball team of Southwestern Univer- sity came to Austin last year, their coach, who was a man, was excluded from the gymnasium and spent the evening in the parlor of the women's building, from where he conducted the game over the telephone. FIGURES SHOW BIG INCREASE OF UNIVERSITY ENROLLMENT Statistics Disclose Margin of 311 Over Grand Total for Same Time Last Year "Science," in its next issue, will show the total enrollment of the Uni- versity of Michigan for the year ending Nov. 1, 1914, to be 6319, or an increase of 311 over the figures of Nov. 1, 1913. These statistics will be publisheci along with the enrollment figures of other universities, computed on a sim- ilar basis. The figures of Nov. 1 show an in- I- crease of 17 over the enrollment in all departments of the university on Oct. 15, the greatest gain since that time having been made in the graduate de- partment.
