bridegroom-to-be in New York, when
he will attend a dinner to be given by

Mrs.Gat's niother. Among those who
will attend are Dr. C. P. Garrison, U.
S. N., and Secretary J. P. Tumulty.

the trip to New York is that Mr. Wil-
son is going there to purchase an en-
gagement ring. Tie president has not
yet made any effort to select an en-
gagement present, owing to the fact
that he was not ready to announce the
engagement until yesterday.
Mrs. Galt would say very little today,
when interviewed, merely stating, "I
am very happy. All else has been said
at the White House."

%00,000,000 Loan to be Passed Upon
New York, Oct. 7.-A few details still
remain unsettled for the consumma-
tion of the $500,000,000 loan by the
American underwriting syndicate to
England and France. It is thought
that they will be passed upon tonight.
The signatures of the parties prob-
ably will be attached tomorrow. Lord
Reading will sign for England, and
Mallet and Homberg for France.
J. P. Morgan today laughingly dis-
pelled the idea that he personally
would sign for the American under-
writers, acting as agent for them. He
said it would be foolish for him to do
it when he could get so many more to
join.
War Holds Up Work on New Telescope
Discs of flint and crown glass for
Michigan's new telescope which is be-
ing built through the generosity of
Mr. R. P. Lamont, have been reported
ready for the glass makers. At pres-

where they have been held up for two
months due to the war. After reach-
ing this country it will require one
year to turn out the finished lenses.
Skinner May Not Return to Consulate
Washington, Oct. 7.-Uncertainty
was expressed here today as to wheth-
er or not Consul-General Skinner,
American representative in London,
would return to his post. There is
question whether his usefulness has
not been impaired by the attitude of
the English government toward his
efforts in London.

last night by Prof. William H. Hobbs,
of the Geology department, there are

over 100 students enrolled in the

. S. Not Ready to Recognize Carranza
Washington, Oct. 7.-It is intimated
in official circles here today that the
recognition of General Carranza as
president of Mexico would be with-
held for some time. It is thought that
the conference to be held on Saturday
will not be the last over the question.
The state department wants more evi-
dence on the part of Carranza that he
will be able to restore and preserve
peace in Mexico.
Rumored That Germany Buys Off Irish
New York, Oct. 7.-Several of the
246 young Irish immigrants arriving
today on the American liner New York
are reported to have said that they
received $100 each and free passage
to this country from German interests
in Ireland. The rewards were sup-
posed to be for not enlisting in the
British army. On being questioned all
of them vigorously denied the rumor.
Law School Figures Were Incorrect

figures for the School of Law were
