SMITH, UFER, FOX, GRIEST, AND MURPHY MAKE FINAL APPEARANCE PLAN BIG SEND-OFF FOR TEAM "Morry" Dinne to Address Rooters at Depot; "Bob" Bennett Leads Yells; Band to Be There Coach Farrell yesterday put his in- tercollegiate squad through their final workout of the season. In addition to the fact that it was the last chance for the team to appear on Ferry field, the curtain fell after the workout was over on several of the Maize and Blue's best bets. Six of the number that the coach will take with him this afternoon have made their, last appearance on Ferry field to compete under Michigan colors. Of this number are Captain, Smith, Ufer, Fox, Griest, and Murphy. Because of the best weather which the track team has been favored with this year, the coach gave his men the opportunity of extending themselves as much as they desired. Among those to get in some good licks in the finale was "Eddie" Carroll. The distance runner was clocked around the quar- ter-mile track three times in 3 min- utes and 12 seconds. "Steve" stated yesterday that he would let the whole team rest tomor- row afternoon. This decision means that the men will not don spiked shoes (Continued on Page Six) STUART PERRY SPEAKS TODAY Editor of Adrian Telegram to Talk on Country Editorials Stuart H.

Fraternity Plans To Support Child Chi Psi to Adopt Fatherless French War Baby in Near Future Following the movement started by the University of Chicago fraternities to adopt French war orphans, the lo- cal chapter of the Chi Psi fraternity has decided to take over the support of one of the fatherless French chil- dren. This will be done by sending funds to the French society that takes charge of the work. But half of the cost of supporting the child will be paid by the fraternity. The French govern- ment will pay the rest of the expense of maintaining every child so support- ed. .The matter of having . all local Greek letter organizations adopt French war orphans .will be brought up at the next meeting of the frater- nity conference. Chi Psi is the first local fraternity to follow the plan started at Chicago.

STAND IN TRIAL Testifies With Other Experts That John Peck Met Death by Arsenic DR., WAITE FACES HARD DA i New York, May 23.-That John E. Peck came to his death as the result of the heavy doses of arsenic found in his organs after death, was the un- qualified testimony in the Waite trial today of Dr. Victor C. Vaughan, dean of the medical school of the Univer- sity of Michigan, and other experts who conducted the autopsy or analysis of the contents of those organs. The poison was found in large quan- tities every place in which it was sought, and there were further evi- dences of chloroform in the brain. The testimony summed up showed that about seven grains had been indicated altogether, and two and half grains constitute a lethal dose. The state today finished with the evidence to prove that Mr. Peck was put to death by his son-in-law, Dr. Arthur Warren Waite, and by adjourn- ment time at nightfall everything had been made ready for a day of sensa- tions scheduled to begin tomorrow. At tomorrow's session, the tall, slender, indifferent prisoner, on trial for his life, will find confronting him first his wife, Myra T. Waite, then Margar- et Weaver Horton, the "other woman," Percey Peck, his brother-in-law, per- haps his aunt-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Peck, and some time during the day (Continued on Page Six) TO DISCUSS MILITARY STUDIES Prof. J.

PRICE FIVE CENTS GERMNSFAIL IN EFFrORT TO EGI LND NEAR MEUSE TERRIFIC FIGHTING CONTINUES DURING LAST 24 HOURS IN VERDUN SECTOR FRENCH SUCCESS UNCHECKED' Teutons Make Use of Liquid Fire in Struggle at Douaumont; Lose All' but Northeast Corner Paris; May 23.-Terrific fighting con- tinued throughout last night and today in the Verdun sector, where the Ger- mans are seeking to recover the ground gained by the French on both banks of the Meuse yesterday. None of the German counter attacks won any permanent success, according to the communications issued today, and the Germans, who lost the southern part of Fort Douaumont yesterday, have now been pushed into the north- east 'corner of the fort, while the rest is in French hands. The German batteries on the west bank of the Meuse concentrated an un- usually heavy bombardment with large caliber shells this morning on the French lines to the west of - Le Mort Homme. The bombardment was con- tinued with the same violence all this (Continued from Page One) Regent Bulkley of Detroit Supports Move to Raise $100,000 for Building FINANCE PROJECT IN DETROIT Regent H. C. Bukley, of Detroit, has come to the support of the move- ment for aunit of field artillery, at the University of Michigan by ex- pressing the opinion that the $100,- 000 necessary for an armory for such an aggregation can be raised among "preparedness" advocates in Detroit and other parts of Michigan. Provided the necessary financial - aid is secured, the armory would be similar to that recently constructed at - Yale. Plans of this building have been forwarded to the University of Michi- .gan. With reference to the housing of A field battery unit during the erectior of a permanent armory, Prof. W. H - Hobbs, who is interested in the mat- . ter, stated: b "To properly house the full equip ment (four guns, 12 caissons, batter wagon, and store wagon), togethe: with tents, mess-kits, blankets, etc. ~ would cost about $2500 upon the basi of rough estimates made on the as r sumption that 12 stables not now i n se and located in the enclosure be longing to, the university and north o r the chemical building could be used n. r * * * * * * * * s, * t ~.-....-I It WHAT'S GOING ONV I _I Jiodern Doctor Just Be Jiore Than Dispenser Of Pills And -Medicine Next to the practitioner of public health, the doctor comes into closest contact with the present day move- ment in society for the elimination of preventable disease. "Preventive medi- cine" is the modern slogan, that neces- sarily means more to the physician than to the general public. There are several ways of being a doctor and there are various standards of success in the profession. A physi- cian may be a mere pill and medicine dispenser, a setter of fractured bones. He may be very successful at this, and he may make a great deal of money. Or a man may be a great specialist and become an authority in his par- ticular line. Or he may become a great medical scientist and go in for original research work. Whichever special line of endeavor the man who is now studying medicine will follow, must depend to a large extent on temperament and natural leanings. One, who has the making in him of a great surgeon or of a great brain spe- cialist would not be serving society best by going against that natural bent and following the work of the public health propagandist. But the medical student whose pref- erences lead him into the work of the general practitioner can hardly do better than to hitch his life work on to the great public health movement that is constantly increasing in volume and in intensity. If he measures the suc- cess of his work by the way in which that work advances the public health movement in his particular commun- ity he will be applying a standard that is broad and that makes for growth. The state of Michigan needs doctors of this kind. It needs physicians who shall be public health leaders in their communities, who shall leave behind them in each home they visit profes- sionally a knowledge of how to pre- vent disease, or how to live sanely and wisely, who shall be on the board of control of the local anti-tuberculosis society, who shall back up health movements of all kinds in their com- munities. The ignorance of a large mass of the people in regard to disease and its causes is still monumental even in Michigan. The state health workers are finding that out right along in the present state-wide tuberculosis survey. The mayor of a city of-35,000 the other day based an argument against a county tuberculosis survey on the as- sertion that tuberculosis is hereditary and hence can't be cured!' And there are scores of thousands of people who have no conception of what the word "germ"' means, nor that dirt and dis- ease are related. The medical pro fession has unusual opportunity tc help change all this. Weather for Ann Arbor and vicinity: Partly cloudy, with moderate south- westerly winds.
