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 Out Letters to Alumni 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.

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.

MEN FITTED FOR SERiVICE MEMBERS IN TWO CLASSES Dischaiged Soldiers and Sailors ir First Division;.Second In- cludes Civilians 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, Coast Cities At I.fercy of Enemies' rd Xca'.eer Arfillefry Chief, Tes. f~ifies Before hol'e ~A'i~hu~tnJan. 20.--Under pros- es:, conditions the cities of New York SS an 1 rancisco could be "pounded o bits by a hostile naval fieet," and te way ithus openeid for a landing, ac- rding to General K.

General Weaver admitted that the guns now mounted at the approaches to New York and San Francisco were licking in the range sufficient to hold 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 enemy.

His execution had been ordered by General Carranza. The message came from the source that first re- ported the massacre of Americans at Santa Ysabel. The Mexican consul; -Andreas Garcia, confirmned the report of the capture of Villa. The advices were that the capture was effected by Maximilio Marguez, who recently captured General Jose Rodriguez, one of the Villa generlas. The 'message announcing Villa's cap- ture was received at the office of the American Smelting & Refining com- pany. Additional messages from Chihuahua City related that a number of bandits who participated in the Santa Ysabel massacre had been captured and were being conveyed to Chihuahua City for execution.

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 the Polish Relief Fund, Paderewski (Continued on Page Six) President Wilson's message, declares Vienna Reports Russian Setbacks that the American navy has been used Berlin, by wireless, Jan. 20.-In- as a "bluff defensive force" andj creasingly violent fighting on the Bess- urges military training for all citi- arabian frontier is announced by the zens.
