Germany Fails to Meet U. S. Demands
Washington, Jan. 25.-Germany has
again failed to meet in express terms
American demands for a settlement of
the Lusitania controversy.+
"The students want military train-
ing, the faculty wants them to hav,?
it, so I see absolutely no reason why
it should not be a success," said Prof.
L. M. Gram in concluding the meet-
ing held by the Senate Committee on
Military Training for all undergri di-
uates who have had previous expe-
rience along these lines, at the Union
last evening.
More than 100 undergraduates were
present who fulfilled these require-
ments, and each handed in to Prof.
W. H. Hobbs, secretary of the com-
mittee, a card which stated just what
sort of training he had already re-
ceived.
Dr. de Nanerede Speaks
Dr. C. B. G. de Nancrede, chairman
of this committee, was the first speak-
er, and explained the purpose of the
meeting. He developed the impor-
tance of the proposed training, and ex-
plained that one of the chief difficul-
ties would be in efficiently officering
the 2700 students who would be eli-
gible to drill, in case the board of re-
gents approved it.
Of Great Value in After Life
Major Soule, former treasurer of
the university, spoke, giving as his
opinion that military training was a
branch of education which would not
interfere with any other study and
which might easily prove of the great-
est value in after life. "I am in favor
of military drill," he concluded, "and
f have been trying to get the univer-
sity to adopt it since 1883."

,EV 1 j1LE CONTINUES EVERY DAY
The first dress rehearsal held last
night of "The Servant in the House"
to' be given in University hall tomor-
:§w evening, assured the preduction of
the directors that this years' produc-
tion will be the best ever offT ed the
campus. Sales at Wahr's bookstore
the last few days point to a large au-
dience.
The costumes secured are said to
harmonize with the general tone of the
plain English country vicarage, which
remains the scene during the entire
play, the play itself being divided into
five acts. The time of the play is an
early morning in spring, and the time-
ly appearance of the lost brother, at
First misunderstood and falsely taken,
gives the play a keen interest.
Perhaps the most interesting part
of the play is the "drain-trouble" in
the church, which gives a touch of
humor to the entire play. The rough,
unpolished charater of Robert, the
drain-cleaner, promises to be one of
the attractions, and this, mixed with
ihe serious mood of the vicar, balances
the entire production.
The seat sale will continue at Wahr's
bookstore on State street from 2:00
to 5:00 o'clock daily at the popular
prices of 25, 35, and 50 cents.

Germans to Force Issue on Western
Front by Attacking Nieuport
and Dunkirk
London, Jan. 25.-While the British
are sacrificing thousands of men in
a heroic effort to cut their way through
to Kut-el-Amara, where Genera
Townsend and a British army are bot-
tled up by the Turks, the Russians to
the north are making the Turks strain
every nerve to keep them from coming
to. the aid of the British.
The Grand Duke's victory near Er-
zerun will undoubtedly be even great-
er than early reports showed. Ac-
cording to Reuter's Telegraph com-
pany, 4,000 Turks were captured by
the Russians, while the - number of
killed, wounded and forced into scat-
tered flight was enormous.
Though Erzerun, the stronghold of
Turkish Armenia, is strongly fortified,
its chances for holding out against the
Russians are decreasing by the fact
that 100,000 refugees have sought shel-
ter there. The dispatch adds that
the Russians took scores of. machine
guns and a great quantity of muni-
tions.
Russians Victorious in Galiciai:
London, Jan. 25.-The Russian
drive, which began as an offensive in
the Bessarabian region only and was
aimed to divert the attention of the
central powers from the Allies' Salon-
iki army, has developed into a smash-
ing offensive all along the south Ru-
sian and Galician front.
An official report received from Pet-
rograd today reveals that while des-
perate battles were being fought near
Czernowitz and other points along th
Ioumanian border, the Czar's troops
have advanced great distances, not
only in that part of Volhymia which
holds the famous Lutsk, Novel and
Rovno triangle of forts, but actually
has come to within two and two-thirds
miles of Pinsk, in the marsh region of
Volhymia.
German Aeroplanes Bombard Dunkirk
London, Jan 25.-Apparently the
Germans have decided to force the
issue on the western front, by attack-
ing the allies vehemently in two places
with a view of breaking through and
crushing the extreme left of the Anglo
French-Belgian line now resting on the
North sea.
After their vain attempt at a ter-
rific drive at Nieuport the Germans
pounded away at the allies there all
night with artillery. This morning
two aeroplanes dropped bombs on
Dunkirk. A German seaplane was
forced to the water by a British ma-
chine northeast of Nieuport about the
same time.
The Germans lost a terrific infantry
attack on the French along a 1,500
yard front in the vicinity of Neuville
late Monday. This assault was check-
ed, though the French suffered a small
loss of guns.
Turks Release French Ministers
Berlin, by wireless, Jan. 25.-The
Turkish government has released eight
members of the French embassy who
had been seized in reprisal for the
arrest of the consular officials of the
central powers by the allied troops at
Saloniki.

Responding to an invitation extend-

fred Wilson, leader of the Varsity band
and one of the best orchestra directors
in the state, has agreed to direct and
organize the orchestra for that pro-
duction which will be held in Hill
auditorium March 7 and 8. Tryouts
will be held tomorrow afternoon at
4:00 o'clock in room 302, main building

It is planned to organize an orchestra
of between 40 and 50 pieces and in
order that results may be all that is
desired Captain Wilson wishes to make
all preliminary arrangements, select
his men andistribute the music be-
fore examinations..
This will be the largest student or-
chestra that has ever played for any
campus production. When interviewed
on this matter Mr. Wilson was enthu-
siastic over the possibilities both as re-
gards the orchestra and the production
itself.
