s' 1
Two hundred and sixty-two seniors
have pledged themselves to give to
the university the annual sum of
1,521 by individual contributions
ranging from $1.00 to $20.00, as a re-
sult of the "Put Michigan First" se-
nior. mass meeting held yesterday

for $5.00, 70 for $10,00, three for
$20.00, and one for $25.00. The pro-
visional committee to be in charge of
the matter is composed of all the class
alumni secretaries, who will arrange
for a choice of candidates for the
board.
The Michigan Alumni Trust Fund
was unanimously passed by the 400
seniors present. Payment will not
begin for two years after the present
seniors have been graduated. From'
that time the slips signed promise to
pay some annual amount into a com-
mon treasury for the support of such
measures as a committee on which the
alumni have a majority deem best for
the future of the university.
F. F. McKinney, '16L, after calling
the meeting to order, gave a compre-
hensive explanation of the Trust Fund
plan, and called upon President Harry
B. Hutchins to speak. President
Hutchins emphasized that he was pres-
ent to influence the seniors in his of-
ficial capacity, and then explained that
the annual budget for the university
had nearly reached its maximum. He
showed wherein such a fund would
be of great value and benefit to
Michigan.
Assistant Dean W. H. Butts of the
Engineering college, expressed the
hearty support afforded the movement
from that portioh of the campus. Wil-
fred B. Shaw, secretary of the alumni
association, compAred this present
plan with that in vogue, at Yale. Pro-
fessor David Friday gave statistics de-
:scribing the amount of money which
would accrue to the university during
u stipulated period if the seniors each
contributed $10.

FEAR ANTI-AMERICAN SPIRT
Consuls in Mexican Cities Apprehen-
sive of Personal Safety
Washington, June 8 .-Although con-
firmation is lacking to official chan- I
nels of the reported attack by a Mexi-
can mob on the American consulate at
Chihuahua City, the state department
late this afternoon was advised that
American citizens there are extremely
apprehensive of anti-American riots
and are desirous of leaving for the
border by the first train available.
It was learned authoritatively that
the real reason for the return to this
country several weeks ago of Marion
Letcher, the American consul at Chi-
huahua City, as well as the consuls
at Dui'ango and other cities in nor-
thern Mexico, lay in the growing tide
of anti-American sentiment, although
at the time the excuse given was that
the state department had arranged for
a conference of the consuls on the
border.

French Still Hold Trenches to Right
and Left of Lost Fort; Germans
Fail to Advance

FIRE
Paris, June 8.-Details of the cap-
ture of Fort Vaux by the Germans
tverc received in Paris this afternoon.
The fort had been cut off from the
rest of the defensive lines so far as
receiving reinforcement, ammunition
or supplies was concerned for five
days, and the garrison of the fort was
exhausted by the continual fight into
which the Germans constantly were
,tble to bring new forces. For some
hiours before the surrender, the fort
vas cut off from all communication
with the rear, even with the trenches
only 300 yards in the rear.
The French still hold the trenches
to the right and left of the fort and
their line runs immediately at the rear
of the fort itself. All efforts of the
Germans to enlarge their success by
including the terrain surrounding the
fort have so far failed.
Today the Germans directed their
attention to the sector of ihe Thiau-
nwont Farm southwest of Fort Douau-
mo:t, where they dir eted successive
atl aks under cover of heavy artillery
fire against the French line on both
sides of the farm. All of these attacks
broke down under French fire.

Gargoyle To l'e
Out T his Noon'
Last Number Takes Many Hard Cracks
at Numerous Campus
Institutions
Many hard cracks at campus institu-
tions are taken in the Commencement
number of the Gargoyle, which will
go on sale this noon. An attack is
made on the policy of -awarding nu-
meral caps to class team managers.
Football, baseball, track, the Union,
the Inlander, and the Women's Gar-
goyle are given a satirical review in
the "Passing Show of 1916."
Not all the contents are adverse
criticism; the hall of fame, a new
feature in the Gargoyle, is the result of
a serious attempt to pick the real lead-
ers of the Michigan campus.
Although there are enough features1
to assure an exceptional demand for
the magazine, a limited edition of
only 1300 will be put out in order to
wind up the sale rapidly and so close
the year's business.

JINT COMMITTE
ITOSESSION TIES TO
REPUBLICANS AND MOOSERS AT-
TEMPT TO AGREE ON
CANDIDATE
HAVE SLIM HOPE OF SUCCESS
Progressives Are pitermined to Nom-
imate Roosevelt; GO0. P. Leaders
Firm in Opposition
Chicago, June 8.-Committees from
the Republican and Progressive con-
ventions are engaged tonight in a
final effort to harmonize the differ-
ences of the two parties and to agree
up n a common presidential candidate.
At a late hour, the two committees
were still in session, and nothing defi-
nite had so far come from their delib-
crating.
The move for harmony came at the
close of the day, which had seen fur-
ther developments indicating the
strength of the movement to nomin-
ate Associate Justice Charles Evans
Hughes in the Republican convention,
and when the gathering at the Coli-
seum adjourned for the night it was
with the understanding that the nom-
inating speeches would begin at 11:00
o'clock tomorrow and that the ballot-
ing for presidential candidates would
start upon their conclusion.
Both Progressives and Republicans
entered the so-called "harmony" con-
ference tonight with little hope of be-
ing able to reach any agreement in
regard to a presidential nominee. The
Bull Moose were prepared to stand for'
Colonel Roosevelt and the Republicans
were just as equally determined that
the ex-President should not be nom-
inated in the G. O. P. convention. The
only basis for a compromise on a
presidential candidate lay in the possi-
bility that Colonel Roosevelt himself
might communicate his wishes to Pro-
gressive representatives in the joint
conference. It is certain now that
only a word from Colonel Roosevelt
himself can prevent his nomination in
the Bull Moose convention, and it will
have to be definite and emphatic.
Colonel Wants Unity
Colonel Roosevelt's message to Wil-
liam P. Jackson of Maryland, national
committeeman of that state, which was
made public at Oyster Bay, had much
to do with giving a brighter turn to
the sitnation in Chicago. Colonel
Roosevelt appealed in that telegram
for both parties to unite, and his em-
phasizing of the necessity above all
things to eliminate President Wilson
from the White House raised the Re-
publican hopes for harmony and par-
tially dampened the spirit of some of
the Progressives. Colonel Roosevelt's
telegram was immediately construed
in Republican circles as a clear inti-
mation that he regarded the'defeat of
Mr. Wilson as the most important con-
sideration, 'that he was prepared to
make personal sacrifices if necessary,
and that he would not run on a thir(
ticket. Progressives of the radical
type who have been insisting that they
must nominate Colonel Roosevelt, were
not pleased with the communication,
and it was apparent tonight that Mr.
Roosevelt would have to speak more
directly and more definitely to them if
he is to prevent his nomination on
the Bull Moose ticket.
Republicans Clear Decks
In two sessions today of the Repub-
lican convention, Senator Harding of
Ohio was made permanent chairman,
rules were adopted, the action of the
national committee in credential dis-
putes was approved, and the platfqrm
was adopted, which includes approval
of woman suffrage but leaves to each
state the privilege of giving to or.
withholding from women the vote.
