No complete list has been officially given out as regards the trips to be made. The trip to Chicago and De- troit are .practicaly settled however, and dates for the engagements at grand Rapids and Toledo are yet to be made. The trips this year will not" be made iin a single week, as hereto- fore. The committees in charge plan to make two cities each week-end be- fcre the spring recess begins. Unusual enthusiasm is already being shown by the Chicago alumni, and mammoth preparations are being made for the annual show and banquet. Maurice Toulme, '12, who has charge. of the publicity end of the alumni as- sociation, is making arrangements for an opera addition to their regular Alumni bulletin, which will be pub- lished about March 1. The bulletin will be devoted almost exclusively to the Union opera.

Hall, Jr., who drove one of the Dartmouth college ambulances for several months, will talk on the American ambulance work in France. Hall will illustrate his talk with stereopticon slides showing various phases of this relief work. The meeting will be held at the Union at 4: 00 o'clock, and will be in charge of President Harry B.

F01- lowing the talk, there will be an in- formal discussion and from those men who show the greatest interest in the proposition will be picked the man who will take charge of the Michigan campaign.

Will Shopv Novel Newspaper Film To Present Mysteries of Chicago rilbunes Big Moern Plant Have you ever wondered just how a great newspaper is produced?

These and other problems in the intricate production of a daily news- paper will be shown at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night in the Natural Science building lecture room, in a motion pic- ture production, "Racing the Dead- line." The film is a two-reel story, unraveling the mysteries of the Chi- cago Tribune plant and is being pre- sented under the auspices of Sigma Delta Chi, national honorary journal- istic fraternity. While the film is par- ticularly of interest to students in journalism, the performance is open to the general public and no admis- sion will be charged. 7licliigan To Get Noted Astronomer: Dr. Henroteau of Brussels Leaves Bel- ginan to Carry on Work Dr. Henrotean, a noted Belgian as- tronomer, is expected to arrive in Ann Arbor in a few days to take a po- sition on the observatory faculty staff.

A meeting of the social committee will be held next week for making the final arrangentents for the party, and at that time it will be decided whether or not the dance will be open to the campus at large. Much enthusiasm was displayed over the party at the last assembly, so the committee is hopeful for a large and successful party. NOTED EDITOR VISITS CITY Ellery Sedgwick, of Atlantic Monthly, Stops in Ann Arbor Ellery Sedgwick, editor of the At- lantic Monthly, spent a few hours in Ann Arbor yesterday visiting friends.

ITINERARY GIVEN DUT FOR WESTERN JOURNEY OFCLUBS 'ENT ATIVE PA NS IN(Li I)E STOPS IN STrATES ( WASIIIN(#TON, 1YNIT AN AN DO1Ei(QN ALUMNI GIVE FINANCIAL HELP Selection of Men to Make Trip to Pe Made After Ann Arbor Concert David R. Ballentine, '16, manager of the combined Glee and Mandolin clubs, announced yesterday that plans were nearly complete for the western trip which will carry the "Yellow and Bine" to thrill the hearts of thousands of western alumni and Michigan sup- porters during the spring recess. The tentative schedule as now plan- ned includes Minneapolis, Minn., Great Falls and Helena, Montana, Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. It is possible that Aberdeen, Washington, and Lew- istown, Montana, will be placed on the itinerary, as soon as the management hears from the men in charge at those points. It has not been decided wheth- er the joint concert with the glee club of the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis will be held on the way out or on the return trip, but this will probably be definitely decided this week. The work of Manager Blallentine has been greatly relieved by the work of many loyal alumni in the concert cities who have taken the responsibility of liberal financial guarantees, in order to insure the success of this year's trip. The selection of the men to make the trip has not taken place and it is possible that it will be deferred until financial results of the concert of March 23, which will be held in Hill auditorium, are made known. Def- inite dates for the start will be de- cided upon at that time although it is hardly possible that the trip will begin before the first day of the Eas- ter vacation.

To say there is any likelihood of a request for the recall of Ambassador von Bern- storff on account of these activities is going too far, but it is a fact that such a danger might aevelop if the conduct to. which the administration objects is persisted in. The new difficulties between the German ambassador and the adminis- tration arise out of the impressions that have gone abroad that the United States has changed front on the ques- tion of the immunity of arned mer- chantmen from attack without warn- ing. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are inclined to believe that the German ambassador has sought to influence the press reports in regard to the attitude of the United States on this issue. It was pointed out by one official that several European gov- ernments have on occasions, landed their passports to diplomatic repre- sentatives who have attempted to in- fluence the press. New York, Feb. 19.-Ignatius Tim- othy Trebitsch Lincoln, self-vaunted international spy Aio escaped from the federal authorities on January 15 last, and then wrote letters to a news- paper chaffing the department of jus- tice, was caught at 7 o'clock tonight at Broadway and 30th streets. TURKS IN RETREA BEFORE__USSIASI Succeed in Getting Away Bulk of De- fending Garrison Before Invading Guns TERRIFIC LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES London, Feb. 19.-The main Turk- ish Caucasian army managed to make good its retreat before Erzerum after the great Armenian fortress fell into the hands of the Russians. Even the bulk of the garrison left to defend the widely separated forts got away before the Russian guns smashed the inner defenses. The bayonet charge of the attackers was opposed by comparative- ly a small rear-guard, fighting to the last. It was in this final stage of the capture of Erzerum which entailed terrific losses on both sides. WHATS GOING ON Weather for Ann Arnor and vicnity -Snow flurries and inot so cold; mod- erae winds.
