THREEFOURHS OF YEAR BOOKS SOLD Orders for Michiganensian Dispose of Many Volumes; Only Two More Days ,for Subscribing SENIOR PICTURES CAUSE DELAY According to results given out late last night by the business staff of the Michiganensian, the subscription sale which' began Tuesday morning has resulted in disposing of over three-fourths of the thousand books contracted for. In view of the fact that but two days remain in which subscriptions can be received, it is imperative that all those who desire books hand in their names at once, since, as before announced,,no addi- tional copies can be ordered after the subscription list is closed at the end of this week.s Louis M. Bruch, managing editor of the Michiganensian, desires to call the attention of seniors to the fact that assyet only about one-half of the mem- bers of the senior classes have had sittings for year book pictures. Un- der the terms of the contracts made with the official photographers, an ex- tra charge will be made for all pic- tures taken after February 1 and no picture will, under any consideration, be accepted later than February 15, this date occurring just at the begin- ning of the second semester, when photographerswillnbe very busy. This understanding was necessary in order that the year book appear at the usual time in the spring. Inasmuch as but a little over two weeks intervene be- fore all pictures must be in, seniors are requested to arrange at once for sittings, in order to avoid the conges- tion and confusion usually incident to the last day. Lo, Seniors and juniors in the engi- neering college interested in the school conducted for college men by the Western Electric company, will have an opportunity to learn the details of the system at a meeting to be held at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon in room 311 of the engi- neering building. At this meeting, F. W. Willard, '06, technical superintendent of the West- ern Electric company, will outline the employment system of his com- pany and its plans for regular edu- cational courses. He will also tell of the special summer training courses for juniors which his. company has recently in- stituted. On Friday Mr. Willard will give two lectures to students in chemical engineering. The first will be at 9:00 o'clock in the morning in room 165 of the chemical building before the class in building materials, and will be on cable manufacture. The second talk will be given to senior chemical !ngineers, at 11:00 o'clock in the morning in room 303 of the chemical building. This talk will be on rubber manufacture. WANT MEN TO PLAY BRIDGE Union Tournament in Need of Greater Number of Entrants The Union Bridge Tournament, which begins Friday. night, has al- ready aroused considerable interest and over twenty names. have been put upon the entrance sheet posted in the Union. Although only a few less than last year's registration, twenty play- ers are not enough to carry on the tournament as the committee would like to have it, and so Russel B. Stearns, '16L, who is in cifarge of the arrangements, is again issuing the call for players. Everyone who wishes to play will have to sign up by Friday since the games start that evening. ENGLISH MINERS MAY STRIKE Federaion Threatens Opposition to Conscription London, Jan. 12.-The most serious move yet contemplated in opposition to conscription was made today by the Miners' Federation, the strongest union in the United Kingdom, when by a vote of two to one, it decided to submit to a referendum of the miners a resolution for a national strike against the enforcement of the military service bill. Such a strike would mean the crippling of the British fleet, munitions factories and railways. . Together with the news of this ac- tion, came word that the Welsh Fed- eration of Coal Miners by a vote of 162 to 83 had adopted a resolution to walk out in case the military bill was passed, and also it was said that a resolution condemning conscriptionf had been passed by South Wales coal miners in Cardiff, 211 to 35.

PLAN FOR WOMAN'S GARGOYLE I Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 12.---One stu- f lent was killed and six others were injured in the annual bowl fight to- day between the freshman and sopho- more classes of the University of Pennsylvania. The fight was won by the first year men. The young man who lost his life was William Liston, of Elizabeth, N. J., a 17-year-old freshman. The most seriously injured were Gordon Smyth, who suffered concussion of the brain; Arthur Essick, who sustained a sprain- ed leg; and John Hill,, who received lacerations. The others suffered fron shock and exhaustion.

They will appear before the co-roner when the inouest into Liston's death is held.

The age of the brass but-' tons, the bugles and the military bands is past. All the flag waving is dead. Nobody, anymore, believes in the glory of war; it is an efficient sys- tem of plain slaughter. In my opin- ion, this is the most encouraging sign in the world for an ultimate peace among all the nations of the world." In expressing the above sentiments last night in Hill auditorium before an audience of about 3,500 people, Frederick Palmer, noted war corre- spondent, has brought to the United States one of the most truly realistic accounts of the great war now wag- ing in Europe. In his address, Mr. Palmer, who has spent the last year at the French front as the only official press correspondent of the United (Continued on Page Six) WHAT'S GOING ON] Washington, Jan. 12.-The murder- ing of 17 Americans by Mexican ban- dits in territory controlled by Car- ranza has apparently brought the Mexican situation to a crisis. Members of Congress who have re- mained silent for the last two years under the policy of watchful waiting threw aside restraint today and de- manded protection for American lives and property. Senators admitted open- ly on the floor that they favor inter- vention if that is the only way in which American citizens can be giveh the protection to which they are en- titled in Mexico. Two resolutions were introduced, one in the Senate calling for inter- vention in the event of Carranza be- ing unable to furnish adequate pro- tection for citizens of the United States, and the other in the House, calling on the President to inform Congress whether or not in his opin- ion the time had come to discard watchful waiting and take other steps for the safeguarding of American lives in Mexico. The President's Mexican policy was bitterly attacked in the Senate, being described by Senator Borah as a "side-stepping, compromis- ing, procrastinating, apologizing, un- American policy." Theradministration and "state de- partment officials seemed bewildered by the sudden turn in the Mexican situation and were -anxious over the effect of the incident upon' American feeling toward the Carranza govern- ment. Upon the receipt of the con- summation of the massacre the state department sent representations to Carranza requiring him to order the immediate pursuit, capture and pun- ishment of the perpetrators of the "dastardly crime" and strongly urging better protection for foreigners in the mining district of Chihuahua. Secretary Lansing denied that the state department had obtained safe conduct for the Americans or had.is- (Continued on Page Six) TRYBUT TO BE HELD FR1 ALLNATONREVIEW STAFF Property Men, Electrician, Costume Manager and As sistants Will Be Chosen S1LUGHTER OF 1) AMERI.CANS BRING CON GRESSM TN ATTACK WILSON' "WATCHIFUL WAITING" POLICY ADMINISTRATION BEWILDERE State Department Sends Represent tions to Carranza Ordering C apture of Murderers Jeni-ma Wenley Will Be Editor; to Appear April 28 Issue Plans for the woman's number of the Gargoyle are well under way un- der the direction of Jemima Wenley, '16, managing editor for that issue.
