Earl Pinney to Give Pre- liminary Talk With everything running smoothly, the final dress rehearsal of the three Irish plays to be given tonight at 8:00 o'clock in University hall by members of the Oratorical association gave promise of being a finished production. The dialogue and excellent acting gave an absorbing interest to the plays of Synge and Yeats. The three sketches, which are recog- nized as among the best one-act Irish plays, are not only of educational value but are interesting in being unusual in subject and in the manner of pres- entation.

EXPLAIN ALMI MVEMORIAL FUND TO SENIOR CLASS PLAN APPRIOVED BY PRESIDENTS OF SENIOR CLASSES AN) FACULTY NEED OF FUND IS EVIDENT Maximum State Appropriations Reach- ed, While University Continues to Grow When the seniors convene at the "Put Michigan First" mass meeting tomorrow morning at 11:00 o'clock in University hall, the tentative plan for a Michigan Alumni trust fund which has received the hearty sanction of senior class presidents, will be ex- plained. All senior classes meeting at that hour have been excused to permit attendance, and caps and gowns are to be worn on Thursday instead of Friday. Not alone are the leaders in the classes in favor of this movement, but prominent faculty men have voiced their approval of this plan to cement the Michigan alumni together by means of a financial interest in the university other than class donations. President Harry B. Hutchins ex- pressed himself as favorable to the general idea outlined in the plan, pro- vided the seniors approve of it. He does not, however, wish to use his official position to influence action on the part of the students interested. It is for them to say what, if anything, should be done, he believes. Bates Expresses Approval Dean Henry M. Bates stated: "I am very much in favor of the general plan as tentatively outlined, and I think it is a splendid thing that ii should have originated with the stu- dents. Anything I may consistently do to further it, I will do."

OR KITCHENER AND STAFF DROWN HEN HAMPSHIRE IS BLOWN UP; ALL BRITIAN IS SHOCKED AT GHEAT LOSS Believed War Lord Was to Have held Conference in Regard to a New Russian Offensive London, June 6. - "Kitchener is dead!" From one end of the British empire to the other these words were flashed this afternoon, as rapidly as the radio and telegraph could transmit them. They brought to the hearts of the Brit- ish people the greatest shock, the deep- est grief that has befallen the United Kingdom since the outbreak of the great war. With his entire staff en route on an important visit to Russia, Lord Kitchener, secretary of war, was drowned on the British cruiser Hamp- shire to the west of the Orkney Islands about 8:00 o'clock last night, " by mine or torpedo" as Sir John Jellicoe, commander of Britain fleet, officially reported this afternoon. Entire Crew Lost Every officer and man on the Hamp- shire was lost. Accompanying Lord Kitchener there were, besides the members of his staff, a number of British army officers. The normal complement of the Hampshire was 655 officers and men. She was 450 feet long and displaced 11,000 tons. Her armament was four 7.5 inch guns, six 6-inch guns and two torpedo tubes. A capsized boat and a few as yet unidentified bodies were washed ashore late this afternoon. Otherwise there is no trace of the lost cruiser and her precious human cargo. Peo- ple on the shore of the Orkneys who witnessed the Hampshire sinking saw four boats being lowered immediately after the explosion, but saw nothing later. The warship saik within a few minutes. Little Hope for Any Survivors The wind was north-northwest, the observers said,and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroy- ers at once proceeded to the scene of the disaster and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some few bodies were found.
