at the meeting was the plan of having

servers and boats could be found in
case of accident.
Owing to the belief that many frat-
ernity and sorority houses are inade-
quately protected against fire, espe-
cially in the matter of rope fire es-
capes from the third floor, President
T. P. Soddy, '16E, appointed a com-

will take place, This meeting, as
are all others connected with that
body, is open to the public. According
to the constitution, officers must be
elected twice each year, thus limit-
ing a term to six months. The new
officials will be installed immediately.
President T. P. Soddy and R. S. Col-
lins will retire from the Council at
the end of this semester as their
term of membership then expires.

new members will take place. The
following classes are to be repre-
sented by one person each: junior
law, junior engineers and junior lits.

be assigned to take charge of the
elections and adequate notice will be
given of the date for this event.

SWING SAYS ROUMANIA
CAN DECIDE GRET A
Berlin War Correspondent Talks To}
Students About European I
Conflict
"When Roumania enters the war,
the war's close is imminent," declared
Raymond E. Swing, Berlin war cor-
respondent of the Chicago Daily News,
in a talk before students of journal-
ism and others yesterday afternoon.
He also called attention to the fact
that Bucharest dispatches furnish a
reliable barometer of the war, for al-
though Roumania's army has many
times been massed on the frontier, she
will never enter the war until assured
of the outcome. Germany's actions, he
stated, are entirely to be explained in
the ligh of the definition of the
great von Clausewitz: "War, is a
forceful continuation of policy."
One of the most interesting facts
brought out during the course of the
talk was that Bulgaria, at the time
she entered the war with the Central
Powers, could, if she had entered on
the side of the Allies, have taken Con-
stantinople in a three-weeks' cam-
of its recognition.
While feeling in Congress over the
latest Mexican outrages continued to-
day to grow in intensity, the President
still maintains his determination to
deal with the situation through the
Carranza government. At both the
White House and the State Depart-
ment it was apparent that everything
possible was being done to stand off
any acts which would force the gov-
ernment into armed intervention. The
fact was emphasized again today by
the President as well as the state de-
partment officials that the Am ricAns-
who were murdered at Chihuahua had
been warned not to enter Mexico.
tion. Feeling is running high among
Americans here. A meeting was held
last night and plans set on. foot to;
organize an American legion for the
avowed purpose of going into Mexico
in the case of intervention to avenge
the death of other Americans by hunt-
ing down bands of bandits. These
Americans would squip themselves
as cavalry and would make it their
duty to scour the mountains for the
bandits that have committed depreda-
tions recently.

MICHIGANENSIAN SALES

Ynraternities Must 1 urryWith Orders;
t edics GITen /Opportunity,
to Secure Copies
The last day of the Michiganen-
sian subscription sale opens with the
edition of one thousand books nearly
exhausted. The staff wishes to an-
nounce that with but few exceptions
the fraternity and sorority houses
have not yet sent in orders for their
copies of the annual. Inasmuch as
it takes nearly a hundred copies to
supply this demand, it will be nec-
essary for these oranizations to take
immediate action in order to secure
the boojs.
For the benefit of senior medics,
whose work keeps them at the uni-
versity hospitals and who consequent-
ly have not had an opportunity to
place subscriptions, a man will be sta-
tioned at the law building this after-
noon at 5:00 o'clock, to whom the
medics can hand subscriptions when
they attend class there at'that hour.
lBulmaiians Show Increasing Spirit
to Oppose German
Alliance
Rome. Jan. 13.-According to news
received through diplomatic circles
from Bucharest, the Germans have
assumed complete control in Bulgaria
which has been deprived of economic
and financial independence. German
troops garrison the principal towns,
including Sofia. The general staff cf
the Bulgarian army and Bulgar-
ian railways, police and censorship
are controlled by Germans. A spe-
cial commission of German officers
is requisitioning food stuffs without
limit, on the pretext of re-provision-
ing the' army.-
According to all information avail-
able the officers are, sending supplies,
especially wheat, to Germany. The
provisions are paid for in German
paper money at a compulsory ex-
change rate of 27 per cent. The
local currency has depreciated. Dis-
content is widespread and anti-German
feeling is growing. The Bulgarians
openly express regret at the alliance
with the Germans. Czar Ferdinand
is indignant but powerless. He does
not dare to oppose the Germans and
he fears the loss of °his throne.
Austrians Control Montenegro
London, Jan. 13.-Another decisive
stage in the Balkan situation has
been reached with Montenegro now
following Serbia in being virtually
absorbed by the invading forces. It
was learned tonight that Austria and
Montenegro had come to an armistice,
this being construed as the last act
of the little country after having its
capital, Cettinje, dominated after the
Austrian capture of Mount Loveen.
That King Nicholas will continue the
unequal struggle. is considered doubt-
ful here by the accepted few among
the best posted men in London. That
Montenegro has virtually passed un-
der Austrian control is admitted. The
chief significance of this does not lie
in the small territorial acquisition
which is less than Serbia, but in Monl-
tenegro's Adiatic front lying along the
Austrian offensive naval base of Cat-
taro, where today's dispatches an-
nounce the entire Austrian fleet, in-
cluding three dreadnoughts as as-
sembling, and from which the recent
naval raid against Italian troops to
the relief of Serbia was conducted.

The Union bridge tournament, which

bids fair to be one of the most inter-
esting and hotly contested ever held.
Four rounds are to be held in the
tournament every Friday night, begin-

blame on the victims for failing to
heed the warning to keep out of the
danger territory. Up to a late hour
tonight neither the state department
nor the Mexican embassy had received
confirmation of the massacre of 16
other Americans at Madera, Chihua-
hua.
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 13.-Official an-
nouncement was made tonight that
General Elias Calles, Carranza com-
mander in Sonora, was preparing to
send 5,000 men from Sonora into Chi-
huahua to help exterminate General
Villa and other bandits now operating
there.
In official quarters here it is report-
being supplied with arms and ammu-
nition from Chihuahua, Torreon, Du-
rango, and the surrounding territory.
Word comes that Americans who
have gone into the country, because
of assurances of safety and a respon-
sible government, are now in great
peril. There is indignation over the
murder of the sixteen unarmed Amer-
icans, which is feared to the only the
first of similar acts.y

year also, as the result of a joint meet-

While there was no formal re-enact-

is to be conducted in conformitywith
the same rules that were laid down
last year. These include the pro-
