ORCHESTRA I T Y INVESTIGATION OTHER NAMES. FF LISTS sTRYOUTS SOON Purpose Is to Interest Students Project of Maintaining Corps in War Territory in 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- con slides made from pictures he took 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 (Continued on Page SIx) LETTER EADS POLICE TO SEEK CHEF IN NEW YORK Note to Paper Offers Clues; Chicago, Anarchiiss Decry Attempts to Discredit Themd New York, Feb. 16.-Jean Crones, the Chicago club chef accused of put- ting arsenic in the soup served to 200 guests at the banquet in honor of Arch- bishop Mundelin, is believed by the police to be in or near New York.

A letter from Secretary of the Navy Daniels has been received by the society, re- fusing to permit Admiral Fiske to de- 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. In addition to this list there are a few tryouts whose eligibilities are still undetermined and their names will be added as soon as the commit- tee finds out their scholastic standing. Dick Gardner, '17E, who was assist- ant stage manager, has been appointed chief electrician to take the place of H. H. lumiston, '16E, who has left college.

Einerman,'18L, Billed to Produce Original Scotch, Irish and Oriental Ballads Another addition has been made to the list of big scale attractions to be staged at the coming Band Bounce. It is in the form of a character come- 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- nish this act. Scotch, Irish and Oriental songs have been Emermuan's specialties and in preparation for the event whicr is to take place in Hill auditorium Thttrs- day evening, February 24, he is expect- ed to produce some original ballads depicting the humorous traits of these nationalities. At the first general rehearsal of "The All Campus Revue" held Tues- 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- noon at 2:00 o'clock in University hall. It will be in connection with the band rehearsal to be held at that time. 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.
