The s "k that came to us from the cataclyso that visited Eu- rope was disceurage and humiliat- ing to think of. 1-1 ever, we have again taken hope and at a meeting at the Century club in ew York, after a great deai of diicv& ion, arrived at a platform" The groundwork df the platform, as outlined by Mr. Ta, has been given above. Pence eonference A End of War Afer giving his VPws on this mat- ter, the fact that, ai the close of the war, a peace c~omfdeklce between na- tiojis would necessa-ily be held was pointed out, and t-e probability of America being iuvitpd to participate was discussed. It' 0 l1'Aope of the men interested in th armation of this league that, if site an opportunity arises, the platform, which has been adopted, can be p ose*ted for consid- eration. That this )roposed plan does not tend to avoid var, but merely to render it less pos lle, was clearly ex- piakaed by m'. Ta{ That ihe prestige of the United Sdta ts such, that her interests are insuicientli great and her power is sunflc jli formidable to enable her to be a emmber at this fu- ture peace confer ce, seems recog- nized.

The main part of the line based on the northern slope to the south of the western Morava river, and the smaller body of Ser-. bians in the south, are reported to have inflicted a severe check on the Bulaiians at the Ketchanik Pass. The Serbs are forcing the Bulgarians back to Uskub. lulgars Reported Repulsed Reports from Saloniki and Athens, under date of Thursday, represent the Bulgarians as having met with a se- vere defeat at this point. According to these reports the Serbians have cleared the enemy from the pass, and the situation is developing in a strik- ing way in favor of the Serbians.

U to date the program committee has been unable to secure a speaker for the evening, but negotiations are being made by Lee Joslyn, '17, with several prominent Detroit alumni. The com- plete program will probably be an- nounced in a day or so. "Ed" Shields, '94-'96L, notified the committee that he will be unable to take part in the big smoker. One of the features of the smoker will be a speech by Coach Douglass, the All-Fresh mentor. Douglass will discuss Michigan's chances for next year, and will conclude his speech by announcing those members of the All- Fresh squad who are to receive their numerals. Francis F. McKinney, '16L, will pre- side at the smoker, while Werner W. Schroeder, '16L, will speak in behalf of the student body. "Hal" Smith, '16, Bronet. ~1 8, will )e on hand to lead the cheers. The ticket sale at the Union desk indicates that the student body will be well represented at the awarding of the "M's." The price of admission, as stated befor , is 5 cents, and tick- ets will continue to be on sale at the Union desk.

F. Newton The views of ex-President William Howard Taft on the installation of a system of military tr.aining for under- graduates in universities were given last night in a personal interview. When as'ed i r regard to the matter, Mr. Taft said: "So far as preparation goes, I hardly think that nilitary training in colleges will prepare many young collegians for offices in the army. It does tend, though, toward democracy in athletics-I hope you see what I mean. In this way everyone will receive physical training, where now the interest is centered on a group and the great mass is allowed to go unnoticed. Obedience and subordina- tion to law are taught, and in general a better-groomed, better-mannered young collegian will be produced, and"-here Mr. Taft chuckled and con- tinued, "I'm sure that's what we need nowadays. President Hadley of Yale has expressed himself in favor of this system, as do a number of prominent men in the east." Although Mr. Taft's time was de- cidedly limited, he seemed to take a personal interest in affairs at Michi- gan, and for the time being was cen- tered in giving any opinion which might be of interest to the campus. BRITISH ADMIRALTY CHECKS GERMAN SUBMARINE WARFARE Fleets of Armed Motor Boats Used to Chase Down U-Boats in the North Sea London, Nov. 13.-Full accounts hae beer given out of the British tri- uraph over, and practical elimination of, the German submarine effective- ness. Tle statement from Berlin that submarIn warfare was stopped in or-, dr' to please the United States is laughed at here, the real reason being given as the activity of the British admi al:y.

Draper, for eight years super- intendent of the University hospital, met almost instant death yesterday afternoon when struck by a street car while crossing the tracks on North University avenue near Barbour gym- nasium. The accident occurred at 5:30 o'Wcock. Superintendent Draper was return- ing from the University hospital to his home in South State street, when hit by a northbound car packed to ca- pacity. He was'dragged a distance of 40 or 50 feet before the power could be shut off and he could be taken from the tracks. Sustaining serious inter- nal injuries, he was taken to the Ho- meopathic hospital. He died half an hour later without regaining con- sciousness. According to a statement by the Ann Arbor police last night, the motorman, whose last name is Au- gustus, was not held, pending an in- quest. Mr. Draper came to Ann Arbor in 1907 from the Pontiac asylum, where he had served as steward for a num- ber of years, to assume the duties of superintendent in the University hos- pital. He is survived by a wife and daughter and a sister, Mrs. Perkins, of Grand Rapids. He was 50 years old. When the team arrives this after-t noon from Philadelphia, every loyalt Michigan man should be at the sta- tion to meet the train and show that he is back of every member of that team. This applies to the Michigant women as well as the men. It is an opportunity to exhibit more of that fa- mous Michigan spirit, and nothingt should keep a single student from be- ing at the depot. The team left Philadelphia last night at 11:00 o'clock on a special train, anda will arrive in Ann Arbor at 4:00 o'clock this afternoon. That Michigan; band will probably be on the sane train, and if a crowd turns out to meet the team there is no doubt but that the musicians will uncork the "Vic- tors" and do their share toward mak- ing the occasion a notable one. "Hal" Smith will be on hand to lead the cheering, and every person present will lbe expected to let loose with a "Yea, team!" that can be heard all the way from Ann Arbor to Franklin field. Everybody be there! Let's go, Mich- igan! Tear Down Old Power House The old power house is being torn down. Workmen have been busy the past few days removing machinery from the station and it will probably be several months before the work is completed. The university authorities plan to move the highway laboratory from its present location in the engineering building into the remodeled power house, and the building will also be used as an automobile laboratory. Re tn~ (t: 0m 4 o clok QUAKERS THREATEN TO SCORE THROUGHOUT WHOLE OF FIRST QUARTER SMITH PROVES STAR Third Quarter Passes Without Mach Progress Being Made on Either Side LONG RUN FEATURES FINISH MILLER MAKES 60-YARD iTUN N FINAL . FEW MOMENTS OF PLA, BUT IS CALLED BACK Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13.-Michigan and Pennsylvania battled to a scoreless tie here this afternoon, neither team succeedng in pushing the ball over the lie. Pennsylvania tried three goals from placement but they were all unsu- cessful, and nary a count was regis- tered in the 60 minutes of play. Both aggregations threatened during the afternoon, but at the psychological moment either the defenders xallied strongly, or else the team with the ball faltered. Penn Dangerous in First Quarter Pennsylvania appeared particularly dangerous during the first quarter of play, but the visitors arose to the occasion and the Quakers were thwarted. Shortly after the game opened the ball was worked back to the Michigan 5-yard line, and "Morrie" Dunne's punt was caught on the 40- yard line, where Williams signaled for a fair catch. Quarterback Dell tried the first of the home team's three at- tempts at field goals, but his iuten- tions were some 100 per cent better than his endeavors and Niemann cap- tured the ball on the 30-yard line Michigan punted, and when Penn- sylvania punted back a few moments later, Smith fumbled and Rockerfeller fell on the ball on Michigan's 40-yard line. Two penalties coupled with Vi- liams excellent work in running with the ball carried the oval up to the 15- yard line. Two more plays put Penn- sylvania within nine yards of the goal but the Qvakers suffered a penalty at this point. Hopkins recovered five yards of this loss, and the locals 's- sayed to forward pass. Roehm, the Michigan quarterback, captured the ball behind his own goal for a touch back. Smith Makes 35-Yard Gain The second period opened with the ball in Michigan's possession or her own 35-yard line. Smith broke loose and ran 35 yards before he was appre- hended, Bell nailing him on the Penn- sylvania 40-yard line A forward pass to Niemann placed the ball on Penn- sylvania's 18-yard line a minute later, Two fake plays failed to gain and a fake field goal cost Michigan eight precious yards. Then Pat Smith threw a forward pass but it was incompleted, the ball going over to Penn. Bell punted 80 yards and Roehm was down- ed on his own 15-yard line after com- ing back five yards The rest & the half waged fairly even. The third quarter passed without either of the elevens making much headway. Both teams were punting frequently and the ball remained near the center of the field When the third period ended it was Pennsylvania' ball on her own 33-yard line. Rockerfeller made eight yards and then crashed through the Michigan line for first down. Derr added three and then came right back with five more. Miller was thrown for no gain, and fell dropped back to the 23-yard line for another attempt to kick a. field oL his effort failed and it was " s ball. .4-' U.4 '4 Y 4 4 tt h t as w et go st havn beei : na vihy a rmer and euo u . .i miahl leels, Runin' g at . , kno _ ' if tOre-Ign coid :'u, the have chasedl dV4wn n1m I' 1 c \ w1th t painl wa> 01s U-1)0 is WIre nets spread exte.nt to 001' 5sy- endire area.i' of the >orlh -s.a 1iave aso Thbe theory 01f enormnou' y reduced the nans>r s naval boul not asume ower. t. reutd b Dt. -- -- ri- -. ron gr0diown hav n woE wObl., d)ISCOVEre htCI O etods of pro gr ii 1>1 Fi exra(tion t'il t& O'lc t > ugeiwzth ghorow so I i:_.woman1'who disovered jhe tKIerati DR, THOMAS NICHOLSON, of New York City, who speaks tonight at Hill auditorium in the first Union lecture series.
