medical mission at Busrah, Arabia,
supported by the students of Michigan
through the Students' Christian asso-
ciation, will be considered by the Bus-
rah committee at its first complete
meeting tonight at 6:45 at Newberry
ball.
The Busrah committee, which is
under the general charge of John R.
Kneebone, grad., will be organized
in two units this year. The executive
committee, composed of John R. Knee-
bone, general chairman, Philip Love-
joy, executive secretary, Miss Freda

tative, and publicity men Verne Bur-

Waldo R Hunt, '16, will have general
charge of the work. This committee

Latest Gargoyle

Campusl lurnor Publication to Feature
Trainin ig Question
Tfhe Military Training issue of the
Gargoyle will appear at noon today
according to schedule. A striking
cover design in red and black by D.
T. Hoffman, '19M, a running fire of
telling sarcasm and irony on militar-
isma in general, a profusion of illus-
trations, and a double-page drawing
1y Harry Leach, '16E, furnish the most
striking features of this issue.
Without doubt the feature of the
issue is the double page drawing of
the campus under military training.
Besides exhibiting excellent technic,
the picture embodies over sixty sep-
arate ideas, and unquestionably is the
best thing the Gargoyle has ever put
out.
Two new men have been added to
the staff: R. J. Wheeler, '17L, liter-
ary staff, and E. S. Horkheimer, '18
busines staff. The business manager,
regarding whom some anxiety is felt,
when last seen was making his way
toward the east, presumably in the
direction of Canada.
BUNKER ADDRESSES ENGINEERS
"Always0 Do the Best You Know How"
Says Law Professor
"The debt you pay back to Michi-
gan makes you richer as you pay it,"
said Prof. Robert E. Bunker, of the
school of law, yesterday, at the soph
engineer assembly, in speaking of
what they owe to the university for
the many opportunities it has given
them. "Never allow yourself to in-
vade property or private right," and
"Always do the best you know how,"
was some more advice that Prof.
Bunker gave in his address.
At the business meeting following,
A. B. Weston was elected hockey man-
ager.
UNION MAILS APPEAL TODAY
Students Asked to Assist in Sending

The Michigan Union needs the serv-
ices of one hundred men at 10 o'clock
to aid in sending out bulletins, Cam-
pus News Notes, to raise the rest of
the money for the million dollar build-
ing which is being planned. There are
two of these bulletins, and they are to
be enclosed in an envelope with a
,etter written by President Hutchins.
The combination of the three can not
held but hit home to the thirty thou-
sand Michigan alumni to whom they
are to be sent.
There is a great deal of work to be
done and 100 men are needed to
do it.

Plans are being formulated to es
tablish a university branch of the
American legion a military organiza-
tion. The legion embraces thousands
of men at present who are engaged in
various trades. In a recent campaign
in New York 10,000 men enrolled in a
week, and 5,000 in a similar campaign
which was held in Detroit.
The United States at present has
no record of the addresses and quali-
fications of its honorably discharged
soldiers, sailors and marines, nor has
it information of available men trained
in the various occupations essential to
the conduct of modern war. The
American legion was formed to enroll
the names of all such men qualified
either by previous military training or
technical experience, and who will ex-
press their willingness to respond in
case the government should at any
time need their services. The inform-
ation obtained by the legion, care-
fully classified as to qualification and
location by a system of cross indexing,

General Weaver admitted that the

off the higih power guns mounted on
inodern naval vessels.
The chief of coast artillery told the
committee that steps were being taken
by the government to get New York
and San Francisco in a better state
of preparedness toward warding off
n enemy if attacked. He thought that
with the completion of defenses now
building the two ports could be suc-
cessfully defended against a powerful

Ignace Jan Paderewski, the famous
Polish pianist, who has held. first rank
among pianists for a quarter of a
century, clearly demonstrated his right
to that position last evening when he
appeared in Hill auditorium.
With his unlimited power and re-
sources he showed himself to be the
complete master of the pianoforte,
bringing out every degree of shading
from the most crashing "fortissimo"
to the most quiet and soothing "pian-
issimo."
His entire program was very inter-
esting but the numbers which per-
haps, were the best received were the
Schubert "Fantasia," "Le Coucou," by
C. Daquin, the Schumann "Etudes
Symphoniques," the Liszt "Rhapsodie
Hongroise," and the Chopin group, es-
pecially "Etude No. 11" and the
"Scherzo in B Flat Minor."
Paderewski was very generous upon
this occasion and responded to several
encores, some of which wehe Schu-
mann's "Warum," Chopin's "Military
Polonaise in A Major," and the "Turk-
ish March" by Beethoven. These en-
cores, being familiar numbers, were
especially well received.
Immediately after the concert Mr.
and and Madame Paderewski conduct-
ed a sale in the artists' rooms of auto-
graphed pictures and Polish refugee
dolls, the receipts from which go to
