"A howling success" are the words
to characterize the Trip Concert held
before a crowdof 3,000 people in Hill
auditorium last night. The well-bal-
anced and Olever program was full of
life and "ginger" from first to last,
and every number was encored by the
audience, which gave the men an even
better reception than they receivedl
on their western trip.
By far the most popular number on
the. program was "Syncopations," by
the Rag Pickers' Sextet. The sextet
renrdered a medley of popular and
humorous airs in true ragtime style,

Disatching of Two Millio Rations'
Puts Dangerous Light on
Mexican Situation
iiAP NOT EXPECTI'E) T 1 :SU'iN
Washington, June l.-President
Wilson will not comply with the de
mand of General Carranza for the
withdrawal of American troops from
Mexico until satisfied that the de facto
government is preparo to establish
and effectively maintain peace and
order. This flat statement of the ad-
ministration's policy will not, it is
believed, lead to war. The United
States does not want an armed con-
flict, it was said by the authorities in
Washington.
provide Provision for 'Troops
El Paso, June 1.--Two million ra-
tions have been sent to Columbus, New
Mexico, for the American army of oc-
cupation in Mexico. The dispatching
of such a large number of rations is
said to have been done so that un-
der trouble with the Carranzistas, in
which the American lines of communi-
cation might le cut, the American
command would not suffer for lack
of provisions.
Two million rations would last
13,000 men, which is about the number
now in Mexico with General Pershing,
for 154 days. Announcement of the
sending of this large supply of food
to the American army coming as it
does at a time when General Persh-
ing is meeting with General Gaviera,
the Mexican commander of the north,
is taken as an indication that the con-
ference has nothing to do with the
withdrawal of the American forces
from Mexico.
Discuss 'Plaing of -rores
Two meetings between the American
and the Mexican commander were
held today, and both generals stated
that they were merely discussing the
distribution of their forces to avoid
friction. It was said the latest Car-
ranza note to the United States re-
ceived not even an allusion during
the meeting of the two generals.
American forces continue to retire
northwards, according to the best in-
formation obtainable. Details of the
abandonment of the American camp

at San Antonio were received today
when a number of American soldiers
reached here from Namiquipa. They
said the withdrawl was made so hur-
riedly that all the supplies that could
not be taken were piled in the center
of the camp, saturated with gasoline.
set on fire and destroyed. The or-
ders for the withdrawal, the men said.,
came from Washington direct and
without any recommendation of Gen-
eral Pershing. and without even con-
sulting him.

London, June 1.-Officials of the
British government characterize as
premature statements that have ap-
peared in the press that David Lloyd-
George was about to make an an-
nouncement of the result of his con-
Iferences with the Irish leaders.

Representatives of 50 high and prep
schools are arriving in Ann Arbor this

eighteenth annual Intercholastic. En-
tries received by the management in-

REJECTS POLAND RELIEF PLAN
Germany W ill Not Accept Counter Pro-
posals Made by the Enemy
Berlin, May 30, via London, June 1.
-Germany will not accept Great Bri-
tain's counter proposals for the relief
of Poland. The British proposals were
found to be inacceptable to Germany
largely on account of the fact that this
country is unable to give the guaran-
tee demanded by Great Britain for the
simultaneous feeding of Serbia, Mon-
tenegro, and the section of Poland oc-
cupied by Austria as a condition for
permitting food for Poland to pass
the British blockade.-
Germany is willing to use best ef-
forts to have the system of rationing
introduced there, but those countries
are outside her sphere of control and
it would be necessary to obtain the
sanction of the Austrian and Bulgar-
ian authorities.
REPORT ITALIAN KING RETIING
B EFORE A USTRIAN OFFENSVE
Berlin, by wireless, June 1.-It is

King Victor Emmanuel and his special

on account of the Austrian offensive,
and retired to Venice.
An air raid on Bari on the Italian-
Adriatic coast, during wieh various
government establishments were suc-
cessfully bombarded, is reported by the
