George TBurke, city attorney and for- mer county prosecutor, will represent the alumni. Burke is possessed of elo- quence which probably is not surpas- sed by any resident within the pre- cincts of Ann Arbor. W. A. P. John, '16, managing editor of the Gargoyle, will speak for the student body. John was one of the speakers at a football mass meeting last fall when the audience broke loose in unrestrainable enthusiasm. George McMahon, '16, will preside over the meeting, and will express the university's welcome to the hundreds of visiting high school athletes. Prof. R. W. Aigler, chairman of the board in control of athletics, will pre- sent the "M's" to members of the Var- sit y baseball, track and tennis teamps. Captain "Hal" Smith of the track team and Captain George Labadie of the basebtll team may be called upon for short talks in behalf of the mem- bers of their respective teams. The speaking portion of the pro- gram will be short and snappy, so as to allow enough time for the musical numbers by the Varsity band and Midnight Sons' Quartet. Prof. F. W. Kelsey home front East Prof. F. W. Kelsey has returned to Ann Arbor from Washington, where he represented the university at the recent congress of. "A League to En- force Peace." the great war. It has been sid that the German government promoted the alarming zle- ports of a food shortage months ago with a view of misleading her ene- mies. This idea is entirely unfounded. If this were the case it would not be possible .for the German authorities to stage food riots throughout the country with thousands of women and children waiting all night in front of the provision stores, nor would the ever-growing discontent of the people, apparent on all sides, have assumed such great proportions as it has now reached. There is no question that the. food shortage is alarming and that the sit- uation is critical.

Vanderlip, president of the National City bank, in favor of Theodore Roosevelt. "I am for Roosevelt," he said. "I admit that I was not some months ago, but I have come to believe that Roose- velt voices the one great principle that politics has to deal with in this campaign. The necessity for prepared- ness overshadows everything else."
