ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1915. PRICE FIVE CENT ---- - _ DRUIDS INITIATE 10 AWENYDS Banquet Tendered New Men at Union Last Night Druids, senior lit honorary society, yesterday chose 10 seniors and collect- ed them around the Druid Rock, in front of the Museum. After the in- itiation the newly-elected members were banqueted at the Union. The initiates are as follows: H. M. Warner, G. Murphy, A. C. Martons, J. M. Cork, J. A. Heist, F. S. Baer, A. H. Torrey, B. M. Compton, C. B. Sikes and I. C. Johnson. UNION TO HOLD NNUAL FORUM TOMORROW NIGHT "Compulsory Militiry Training" Will be the Subject for Oen D)iscus sin "Compulsory Military Training" will be the subject open for general discus- sion at the first Forum of the year to be held at the Union at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night. Harry D. Parker, '16L, will have charge of the meetings this year, and plans to have all the import- ant camp-us questions discussed during the year's programs, The Forum will last but for one hour and any student on the campus can express his ideas on the question be- fore the Forum. Informality will be the keynote of the meetings. The idea of a Forum was inaugu- rated by the Michigan Union last year, because there was no plae in student affairs where vital and pressing cam~- pus problems could be discused. It is planned to hold a meeting of the Forum every week until spring vacation. Speeches will be limited so as to allow all those present who de- sire to speak ample opportunity to give their opinions on the problems. SENIORS DEMAND TO HAVE PHOTOS TAKEN FOR YEAR BOOK List of Michiganensian Photographers Posted at Various Points on Campus Posters have been placed upon the various bulletin boards about the cam- pus announcing the names of the pho- tographers authorized by the Michi- ganensian board to take the pictures of members of the senior class. In designating the official photographers as early in the year as they have, the management of the Michiganensian is catering to the demand of the seniors to have their pictures made in time for use as gifts at Christmas, and also to aid the students in avoiding the ne- cessity of sitting for their portraits during the rush of work in the month of January. The editorial staff is desirous of se- curing snapshots of student life and activities, and as many personal pic- ttures as can be obtained will be run in the publication this year Photos of men and women prominent about the campus are especially desired. Believing that the women of the uni- versity have not been represented in the year book as they should be, the management of the annual this year is willing to devote more space than ever before to stories and pictures of inter- est to the student body in general and to the women in particular. It re- quests only that the women of the university supply the necessary infor- mation by means of communications or personally to the members of the staff. MEMBERS OF CERCLE FRANCAIS MEET AT HOME OF H. V. WANN Qercle Francais met last night at the home of Harry V. Wann, of the French department and director of the Cercle. The program consisted of a number of recitations in French concerning the war by Charles T. Frisbie, '16, and a series of games, in one of which Frisbie and Manuel A. del Valle, '16E, staged a duel.

The general staff, it is reported, be- lieves that the regular army should be increased to 225,000 men, each one serving two years with the colors and four years in the reserve. 7t also rec- ommends the creation of an auxiliary force of men with one year's military training to the total 'number of 1,000,-' 000 men.

Remember that there were others here before you," was the advice by Dean J. R. Etinger to nearly 500 members of the freshmen literary class as- sembled together yesterday afternoon in the new science hcildi Jg audi- torium. "You are coming into a settled com- munity when you come to Ann Arbor, and the same rules of the world that you knew at home apply here. There are, of course, some special things in the college code; for instance, don't show too much familiarity with the members of the faculty, by sitting on the table or desk while addressing them. Remember that you are in a college world." Yesterday's meeting marked the oc- basion of the first assembly this year of the 1919 literary class, and from the unusually large attendance it looks as if the assembly plan would meet with favor this year. Both Dr. J. F. Scott, who has charge of the assemblies, and Dean Effinger were enthusiastic at the size of yesterday's gathering and the interest shown in the assembly plan. A second assembly will be held sometime in December, at which time another speaker, probably a member of the faculty, will talk to the first year men and women. Dean Effinger yesterday emphasized the developihent of Michigan spirit and said that it was accomplished through deparmental rivalry. Michi- gan spirit, in its true sense, he said, means the observance of campus am university traditions. Class loyalty was, he declared, an indication of loy- alty to the university and he urged the class to turn out at the class as- semblies and meetings.

Great preparations are being made for the triumphal entry of the German emperor into the Turkish cap- ital. . Travelers arriving from Turkey re- port that the kaiser will be accomn panied by Archduke Carl Francis, the Austrian crown prince, and King Fer- dinand of Bulgaria. Numerous German officers are arriving daily at Constan- tinople, and some are going int Asia Minor to prepare the way for the new drive of the Germans into the Orient. The Teuton activity against Egypt and the Suez canal will be the first attempt in that direction, so far as is known, since early in the war, when a German force was driven from the canal territory.

The need of such a branch of gov- ernment, in whose service would be included men in all walks of life, ac-I tually engaged in business or the professions or trades, as is the cus- tom in Europe, was made obvious by the activities of the Teutonic agents here who are said to number 3,000: To make possible the creation of such a secret service congress will be: asked to appropriate a sum reachingr into the millions.
