Louis P. Hall, Jr., just lately re-
turned from the front in Alsace Lor-
raine, where he has been driving an
ambulance, will speak at the. Unioi
next Sunday afternoon on the
work of the American Ambulance in
the war zone. He will draw in par-
ticular upon his own experiences there,
rand illustrate his talk with stereopti-

while serving in France.
President Barry B. Hutchins will
preside at the meeting, which will be
held at the Union at 4:00 o'clock, and
the entire arrangements have been
.made to allow the speaker the best of
opportunities to get his message be-
fore the university students.
In addition to presenting his own
experiences to entertain his hearers,
Hall will deliver an appeal for cam-
ptas aid along the lines that he has
been working on. Though not direct-
ing his entire speech into these lines,
the purpose is to start a propaganda
on the Michigan campus to secure
money for the purchase' of ambulances
to be sent to Europe for work there.
Four of the Michigan professors are
behind the idea in that they are en-
thusiastic for the campus to do this
and have been working with Hall to
arouse the campus enthusiasm.
"Every large Eastern university,"
said Mr. Hall, "is represented on the
battle front of Europe with at least
one ambulance. Harvard and Yale
have considerably more than one. Even
Vassar and Wellesley have secured
money to send their representative
ambulances to Europe for this good
work, Some smaller schools, such as
St. Paul and Middlesex, have also sent
over an ambulance, Dartmouth is

New York, Feb. 16.-Rear-Admiral

luncheon of the national committee
of the American Defense society at the
Hotel Biltmore February 22. A letter

liver an address on the ground that the
inclusion of political discussion with
the functions of a naval officer cannot
but be detrimental to the navy.

L. B. Einerman,'18L, Billed to Produce
Original Scotch, Irish and

dian with a wealth of experience be-
hind him: L. B. Emerman, '18L, for
six years before the public with a rep-
ertoire of songs and dancel, will fur-

ed to produce some original ballads
depicting the humorous traits of these
nationalities.

day night, the various take-offs were
found to combine cleverly into a uni-
fied whole. Among the various sa-
tires is one upon the senior class, an-
other concerning the engineers, one
about the student council and one on
military training.
A second general rehearsal of "Re-
viie" will be held on Saturday after-

Alumnus Honored
B .y Belgian King
1)r. C. L. Gillett, '011), Honored fo
Work in Belgium; Is Member of
Xi Psi Phi Fraternity
Word was received here yesterday
that Dr. G. L. Gillett, '01D, at present
in Belgium, has received from King
Albert the decoration of "Chevalier de
la Couronne de Belgique" for distin-
guished services to the Belgian people
during the war.
This information comes in a com-
munication to The Michigan Daily
from Mr. W. H. Cilliers, dated Jan-
uary 22, at Glasgow, Scotland. The
letter, in part, follows:
"Your readers may be interested to
hear of a foreign distinction won by
an old Michigan man,
"Dr. G. L. Gillett, of London, Eng.,
formerly of New York City, has been
honored by the king of the Belgians
with the decoration of Chevalier de la
Couronne de Belgique for services ren-
dered to the Belgian army."
Dr. Gillett, after graduation from the
dental college of the university in 1901,
returned to New York, where he re-
sided a short time before going to
England. Soon after the outbreak of
the war, he joined the English relief
corps for work in Belgium, and since
that time has been with the Belgian
army. While in the university Dr.
Gillett was a member of Xi Psi Phi
fraternity.
COSMOPOLITANS PLAN
Send Letters to Countrymen to Arouse
Interest in All-Nation Revue;
Hold Meeting Tonight
Planning to interest the leading
men of foreign nationalities who are
in the United States in "La Revue des
Nations," William Robertson, presi-
dent of the Cosmopolitan club, has
called a meeting of that organization
for 8:00 o'clock this evening in Mc-
Millan hall, at which each nationality
will write a joint signature letter to
the most prominent members of their
nation in this country, calling their
attention to the importance of this
movement which has as its basis the
foundation of a loan fund for foreign
students.
At present there is no means by
which foreigners enrolled here can be
aided in financial difficulties except by
petitions to the faculty for a post-
ponement of tuition payment, and
while the university officials are glad
to co-operate with these students, the
system is unsatisfactory. All pro-
ceeds from "La Revue des Nations"
will be placed under the supervision
of a committee composed of faculty
members and officers of the Cosmo-
politan club in order that foreigners
who are in need of help may obtain it.

speak in Hill auditorium at 7:30
