Grover, '18, and Chase B. Sikes, '16,
both stars of previous operas and
other campus productions.
The cast is as follows:
Auburnia Grey, a live young Amer-
icon girl with Titian hair, who 1i-
naily wins love of Anrea.......
F. W. Grover, '18
Andrea Brezanio, the Temperament-
al Would-be Poet, Chase B. Sikes,'16
Pimmie Dale, Cousin of Andrea....
Morrison Wood, '16
lic Swift, Another Cousin.......
E. E. Hawkes, '16

° n Mason, Jimmie's Sweetheart,..
E. E. Pardee, '17
Orwald Spiflins, a "Real" Poet,.....
Leon Cunningham, '17
Hawkins, General Valet.,Kasberger, '18
The leading feminine role will be
/taken by F. W. Grover, '18, who ere-
ated uch a sensation last year in "All
That Glitters.' This year his part
promises to be better than any that
h has ever taken before. Grover's ex-
cellent voice together with his unusual
acting ability will undoubdly make
him one of the best leading "ladies"
over presented by the Mimes of the
Michigan Union.
Chase B. Sikes. '16, well known bari-
tone and an accomplished campus act-
or, will take the part of the leading
man. Sikes, due to eligibility troubles,
has been unable to take a leading role
in previous operas, and is expected to
make a hit swith his part.
Morrison Wood, '16, needs no intro-
dluction to the campus, since his many
appearances in campus productions
have made him popular with all com-
edy lovers. His part in 'this year's
show puts him at his best, and he
should be able to uphold his reputa-
tion.
E. E. Hawkes, '16, is a new addition
to this year's cast, and with his strong
baritone voice will lend considerable
toboth the song-hits and the general
trend of the show.'
Grant Cook, '16, who made a hit in
"All That Glitters" as Madame Brous-
;ean, will don feminine apparel agai'
and appear as the domineering wife,
always suspicious of her husband.
Walter Atlas, as Hezekiah who is
the henpecked husband, will be one of
the finds of the year, according to pr~
ent expectations. His part require)
no little amount of acting ability.
The parts of the two red-haired
girls, who with Grover form the plot
ofethe show, are taken by Earl Par-
doe, '17, and Joe Palma, '18. Pardee
too the part of a chorus girl in last
year's opera, and will make a strong
bid for Andrea's heart in his role
As the breezy F'an.
: ebn Cunningham, '17, will be the
"real" poet of the show, and with his
sentimental lines dispense no little
amount of humor. Cunningham took
part in "The Model Daughter," and
has done -considerable work on the
Comedy club.

Villa Accused Of
Rule Of Cruelty
tit nntAl a a lilant% ThWill
End Problen
El Paso, Tex., Feb. 26.--That per-
=c-nal vengeance will end the Villa
problem is the view of a number o
prominent Carranzistas in El Paso. It
is known along the border that after
the massacre of Americans at Santa
Ysabel that Villa and his bandits re-
turned to that district and carried off
young women of the household of
ranchmen and that subsequent to
this depredation a band of ranchmen
came together and vowed vengeance.
The next development was the ap--
pearance at the Mexican consulate in
El Paso today of six members of a
prominent family of San Geronino.
They stated that Villa had personally
stolen two women of their household
and they wished permnisison to arni
and enter Mexico to avenge the wrong.
All reports that come from the zone
in which Villa has been operating are
confirmations of a rule of cruelty and
bestiality.

Lansing Says Government Will Take

A International Law
Waslington, Feb. 26.-Secretary
Lansing let it be known today that the
United States will not object to en-
tering into a discussion with Ger-
many as to the application of the in-
ternational law permitting merchant-
men to arm for defense.
At the same time he made it plain
that the administration will not dis-
cuss the principle of the law itself.
This was the extend to which he went
in justifying a.statement that the pres-
ent situation is less serious than it
was and that there is no immediate
erisis at hand.

Campaign Started
For New Infirmary
I)r. Pratt of health S=r es i Ieclares
Need of Hospital for Cases
A rising
Dr. Elsie S. Pratt, of the Health
Service, has declared that the uni-
versity is badly in need of an infirm-
ary to take care of the cases of com-
municable diseases such as ear tr.ou-
ble, bronchitis, catarrh, and pneumo-
nia, which, though not strictly con-
tagioas, should be isolated in order,
to-prevent the spread of epidemics.
This is impossible under present
conditions, since such cases can not be
sent to the hospitals as the appropria-
tion is insufficient. Nor can an effec-'
tivo quarantine be established while
the patients are being cared for in
their own rooms. "These conditions,"
said Dr. Pratt, "apply to the 'men as
well as to the women." A campaign
has been started to raise funds for
such an infirmary for the care of. the
women of the university.

GERMANS SEEK U . S. GO.ODS
Chicago, Feb. 26.-Reports have been
receivei from Germany stating that
he Teuton government has released
.150,000 doses of salyarsan to be dis-
tributed by the American Red Cross,
also 430 tons of aniline colors, espe-
cially blue, green, and carmine, for
the U. S. bureau of, engraving and
pinting. This is all done in an ef-
fort to convince the United States that
Germany is trying to meet it more than
half way.
The German authorities have been
informed that the U. S. government is
unable to continue the proper print-
ing of stamps and money without the
coloring from Germany.
It is said that further releases for
general industrial purposes would be
ecsily forthcoming if the U. S. gov-
ernment would attempt to obtain for
Germany freedom of shipment of even
he smallest fraction of the non-contra-
band goods now held up by the Brit-
is1 under a blockade that the United
States itself has declared illegal.
