The Austrian army, which in its southward sweep took Scutari and San Giovanni di Me- dua, is now only seven hours' march- ing from Durazzo, the capture of which will put the Austrians in com- plete possession of northern Albania. Avlona, the biggest Albanian port, is threatened by the Bulgar invading army. The paramount question regarding the whole Albanian situation now is: Will the Italian expeditionary force at Avlona make a stand and defend the port to the last? No resistance is looked for at Durazzo, where Effad Pasha with his comparatively small army of Albanians and remnants of the Montenegrin and Serbian armies could do little to stem the tide of the greatly superior and well equipped Austrians. In some quarters the belief is ex- pressed that not the Bulgars who took Berat, but the Austrians who are now driving through the interior toward the Adriatic cost, will attack Avlona, because a Bulgarian move on that port and a consequent clash with the Italians would, it is argued, result in a declaration of war between Italy and Germany. A fact which streng- thens this theory is that the Bulgars could have long ago attacked Avlona, but for some mysterious reasonwaited, apparently marking time, until the Astrians had made further progress in the north and center.

Worker to Address Stu- dents at Regular Sunday Night Meeting PROMINENT IN SOCIAL " WORK Although he has appeared in most of the large colleges of the country, Brewer Eddy will give his first address in Ann Arbor under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at 6:30 o'clock Sunday night in the Arcade theatre. Mr. Eddy is one of the secretaries of the American Board of Foreign Mis- sions in Boston and his work brings him in touch with missionary condi- 4tions throughout the world so that he speaks of the things he knows. Despite the fact that he has seen much of the world, the speaker has the student point of view. He is one of the youngest of the Board secre- taries and has always kept in touch with college men as traveling secre- tary of the Student Volunteer move- ment and as one of the leaders in the Y. M. C. A. conferences at Northfield each summer. Born in Kansas, a son of the middle west, he was graduated from Yale University with a B. A. and M. A. de- gree. Beginning at 6:10 o'clock, free mov- ing pictures will be shown in the Arcade theatre. Special music will also be given. Classes in the engineering college will be dismissed at certain hours to-I day in order that the engineers be given an opportunity to express them- selves on the proposed honor system. The honor co mittee and the faculty committee in charge of the class as- semblies are interested in having a large turnout at the meetings. The honor committee urges that the class members come out and vote, as the faculty, when giving its decision on the proposed system, will no doubt be largely influenced by the number that sign. Attendance at the meetings will be checked up. The proposed system will be pre- sented to the faculty meeting on Sat- urday along with a petition asking that it be given a trial at the coming ex- aminations. Fifty.

Sargent, '16, president of the association, and Miss Nora Crant Hunt, vocal teacher at the School of Music. Preparations for the act are already well under way and the energy which the club is showing promises that it will be one of the best numbers upon the big scale program being prepared for that occasion. "Military Training" is the name of a skit written for the Band Bounce by Leon M. Cunningham, '16, full of clev- er and entertaining features, explain- ing the wisest course for thq univer- sity to pursue in order to reach a definite conclusion in the matter.

Angell while they are hold- ing their annual banquets each in their own city, has been made through the successful efforts of Win. K.

The first rehearsal of the chorus ir the Michigan Union Opera will be held at 4:00 o'clock, Monday, Feb- ruary 14, the first day of the second semester. The fact that from the beginning of the semester, only a little more than fivc weeks remain for the opera to be ready for stage performance, since the first show is to take place on March 31, means that the cast and chorus this year wvill have less tiie to get ready for the final production than any other previous opera. Five shows will be given in Ann Ar- bor, and at least four outside dates will be made. The outside engage- ments have not been formally an- nounced, although the dates of the various trips were given out some time ago. Negotiations are now in order to secure the Studebaker theatre in Chicago.t Director.Morgan will arrive in Ann Irbor on February 10 to take charge othe entire show.

S ys HoP Committee strenuous Work Marks Week Before Party for Committeemen. Who Force Victory Perhaps very few people realize the amount of work necessary to stage "the greatest ever" Hop, which Feb- ruary 11 will usher into our humble midst. Let it be said, however, that the committee for the 1916 Hop has had a real live problem on its hands. Instead of the Ticket sale dragging on for weeks this year, all the trip- pers of the light fantastic on the cam- pus marched en masse to the Union to get pasteboards for the big Junior party, and in two days the entire sup-, ply of the elusive admission cards was exhausted. Then ca'me a hundred tearful complaints from the gallants who had invited "Her" to the big an- nual function, and under this com- pulsion, permission was obtained to secure the use of Barbour gymnasium for dancing, in addition to Waterman gymniasium. This doubling of .accommodations, with but two short weeks to complete preparations, has thrown confusion in- to all arrangements. Bids have had to be reopened, and negotiations en- tered into on contracts for increased orders, plans must be arranged in re- gard to the financial budget, and a dozen new problems have intruded upon the sanctity of examination pe- riod. CO0I0l l'TEE IOPIS 'THA'T i FITNr'TIONS BE MODERATE IN TONE DISCOURAGE USE OF FLOWE Copies of Rles to Be Sent ut. Groups Entertaining Visitors Prof. Louis A. Strauss, chairman the senate committee on student fairs, has just made public the structions which his committee h drawn up for the conduct of J-I house parties. The letter, addres to the J-Hop committee, contain these instructions, is in part as lows: "The senate committee on stud affairs has been charged by the versity Senate withi the duty of ea ing such regulations as may be ne ful for the conduct of the Hop. appears to us that the end desi by the senate will be best secured reducing to a minimum our exp instructions, and by entrusting as as possible to you and to the part pants in the hop the responsibility observing the spirit of the agreem by which the Hop was restored 1914-1915. With this in mind we you to recall that the Hop was disc tinued in 1913-1914 largely becaus the unfavorable criticism it had Ora upon the university; it was char terized by a degree of extravaa and exclusiveness held to be unbeci ing in a state university; the not ety given to the dance by the pr throughout the state magnified th tendencies and created impressions student life that were injurious to ,university; while popular rumor er ited the affair with various faults even more serious character. I fact that these reports may have b frequently exaggerated and .in sc cases false should impress upon : the need of exercising the utmost c in avoiding even the- appearance suspician of such abuss. "We believe that the Hop Commi of the class of 1916 conscientio strove to carry out its promises,: that its efforts were successful. A unfortunate occurrences in connect with some of the house-parties we willing to attribute to inexperience thoughtlessness. But wb wish to s- emphaticaly, as the most import point in this communication, that regard all subsidiary private en tainments given-in connection with Hop as a part of that function, that we consider it your duty to d in your power to prevent mistakes offences that might work injury to reputation of the university. "Accordingly, we offer the follo instructions for transmission, n1w: ever manner you deem best, to groups and organizations attending Hop and entertaining visitors. trust that you will look upon ti suggestions as offered in ylthr in est. It is our hope that this' ye party will be so conducted, in all ticulars and in its general charai that we can, without hesitation, re mend to the senate the re-establ ment of the Hop upon a perma: basis. 1. Rule 10 in the petition to the ate provides that "house-parties s commence not earlier than Fr morning and end not later than day afternoon." 2.

Any attempt at overch Small tom College and High School Cus- Should Be Tabooed; Russell Collins, '16, Takes Lead Owing to the misuse of Michigan suitcase stickers, the Student Council at the regular meeting last night de- cided to work through the local book- stores to prevent their sale. It was pointed out that the practice was not one which gave a favorable impression to outsiders in general and that such conduct tended more to- ward similar practices of high schools and smaller colleges. Russell Collins, '16, was appointed chairman of the committee to visit the merchants and try to induce them to refrain from selling them. A. S. Hart and H. A. Taylor, newly elected members of the J-lit class, and the J-Engineers respectively, were welcomed into the Council and will hold office for the next three semest- ers.
