London, Mar. 2 -The German at-
tack on Verdun, in which there has
been a lull for two days, was resumed
last night with a lively but futile as-
sault against Fresnes on the Woevre
plain, and today the Germans returned
to their drive against the fortress from
the north. Neither the driving power
nor the wide scope of last week were
manifested in the renewal of opera-
tions and the German efforts to make
further headway were without success
except the reported German capture of
the Fort de Vaux.

PROGRAM

REIMANN IN CENTRAL ROLE
Whole Theme Is Built Around Him;
Box Office Open at Noon
and Supper Hours
The complete cast of the All Nation
Revue was given out for the first time
last night. It contains 150 names, in-
cludiag leading campus entertainers,
in addition to several artists of repu-
tation from outside the university.
Louis Reimann, as Humanity, plays
the central role of the production, and
the whole theme is built up around
him. His handmaidens, Love, Friend-
ship, Honor, Youth, Beauty, Knowl-
edge, Progress, Labor, Humor, aind
Hope, are played by the Misses Fletch-
er, Domboorajian, McBride, Seelye,
Cowley, Sargent, Povah, Durfee, Coo-'
ley and Wuerfel.
Albert Seelye is the leader of the
Zulu band which encounters its rival
tribe in the African scene. Seelye
speaks Zulu fluently, the entire act
being conducted in this strange
tongue. He will be assisted by Hill-
iard W. Goldstick, John 'Robertson,
Robert Melcher, Adrian von Serfon-
tein, Walter Kluge, Henry Marais, Ber-
tram Ingle, Robert Bird, Carl Mosig,
Albert Eckstein, M. Baumann, Lennox

sell, and William Mason. -
Nine Native Chinese Appear
Nine bona fide Chinese students will
take the leading roles in the act de-
picting this- awakening nation of the,
orient. They are Q. L. Young, H. G.
King, Ho Lee, S. J. Hung, H. K. Kue,
D. Y. Wong, P. Lim, Q. Quan, and
Q. Wing. They will be assisted by a
chorus of American dancers, including
Blanche Gordon, Laura Sauer, Betty
Howard, Selma Lindell, Helen Travis,
and Helen Knowlson.
Albertina Rasch, the world famous
danseuse from the Paris and Vienna
Opera companies, will appear first in
the Egyptian act, in which she will
execute the difficult Dance of the Sca-
rab among several solos peculiar to}
the land of the Nile.1

Incomplete returns from the final
night of canvassing in the Union life
membership campaign show an addi-
tion of over 200 names to the mem-
bership list. This means at the very
least a gain of 25 or 30 over the pre-
ceding nights. Altogether the entire
campaign has raised the total number
to 2,000.
Because of ,the number of names
still being sent in by solicitors, the
winners of the awa rd, to be given
the high individual man and the
chairman of the highest scoring com-
inittee cannot be anounced until late
Friday night or Saturday morning.
At a late hour last night, E. C. Wunsch
'is, was leading the individual list with
33 memberships, while the committee
under Robert W. Collins, '17E, leads
the combination list with a total of
88. Joe Meade's committee is next
pith 84.

Charles Kokales
Billiard playing as a diversion for
the greater part of the freshman class
is ended. The average age of this

year's "frosh" is 19 years. In accord-
ance with the law which states that
students in any public educational in-,
stitution who are under age are pro-
hibited from frequenting billiard halls,
Chief of Police Pardon stated yesterday
that all owners of such halls allowing
minors to frequent their premises will
be legally prosecuted.
Following this edict, Charles Ko-
kales, who owns a billiard hall on
South State street, was arrested yes-
terday on a warrant sworn out by
Roger Manwarning and was fined $25
and costs amounting to $3.45. .i

Lloyd George Announces Such a Step
in Near Future; Parliament
Talks Conscription
London, Mar. 2.-The conscription
question was the main topic of discus-
sion in both houses of parliament to-
day. In the house of commons, Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, an-
nounced that the government will
shortly issue a statement calling mar-
ried men to the colors.
The house of lords was told by Min-
ister of Recruiting, Lord Derby, that
4,500 married men attested yesterday.
A significant remark made by. Lordl
Derby in the course of the conscrip-
tion question was that he did not in-
tend to leave the war office "as long as
Lord Kitchener wishes me to stay."
There has been a strong tendency of
late toward the opinion that Lord
Derby and the war secretary were not
the best of friends. Among the rea-
sons given being that Lord Derby had
been gradually given much of Lord
Kitchener's original power, and has
brown to be looked upon in the light
of a rival of the war secretary.
Each of the many recent reports of
Lord Kitchener's impending resigna-
tion mentioned Lord Derby as his pos-
sible successor.

Nearly 200 prospective members for
the Upper Peninsula club of the Uni-
versity of Michigan turned out at the
initial meeting of that organization,
which was held at the Union last night.
Short talks outlining the possibilities
of the organization were made by "Bil-
ly" Cochrane and Tom L. Tolan. Elec-
tions resulted in the selection of B. T.
Larson, '17M, as the first president of
the club. J. L. Garvey, 18, was named
secretary and treasurer. Seven vice-
presidents representing the various
sections of the upper peninsula were
elected as follows: C. W. Reade, '17E;
T. L. Tolan, '16; G. H. Laing, '18; R.
L. Finch, '17; A. G. Eriksen, '19; R. H.
Cady, 17E; H. Gray, '17. Plans are
being formulated for a "smoker" and a
dance to be given in the near future.
This matter will be left to a com-
mittee to be appointed by the officers
of the club. It is also planned to hold
a reunion of Michigan men sometime
during 'the coming summer, in the op-
per peninsula.

American Loss of Life on Armed Mer-
chantmen to Be Sufficient Cause
for Bmaking Off Relations
Washington, Mar. 2.-These were
the important developments in the
submarine situation today: Senator
Gore, of Oklahoma, one of the Demo-
cratic leaders, startled the senate by
charging that President Wilson had
told Senators Stone and Kern that
unless Germany backs down on the
submarine issue, he Would sever dip-
lomatic relations. The senator also
said the President stated that war
probably would follow; and that this
might not necessarily be an evil to the
United States as it would bring the
European struggle to a conclusion by
mid-summer and render a great serv-
ice to civilization.
Senator Gore challenged Senator
Stone, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee, and Senator Kerni,
to deny that the President had made
the extraordinary remark attributed
to him. Senator Stone entered a
partial denial and Senator Kern didn't
respond to the challenge. The White
House issued an unqualified denial of
any utterance on the part of the Presi-
dent to which any such meaning could
be attached as was set forth by the

MORGANPRISES
SCNERYI FOR OPERA.
Director Says Work of Detroit Artists
Will Be Equal to That of
Broadway Shows
TICKET SALE RESUMED MONDAY
"I am confident that the scenery
for the opera will be as good as that
of any show on Broadway," was the
immediate answer of Director Morgan,
when interviewed as to his opinion of
the stage settings for "Tres Rouge."
"The two artists who are working on
the scenery are putting forth their
best efforts. In fact, I never saw men
so interested in their work."
Mr. Morgan visited Detroit yester-
day and made a final inspection of the
art work, and although the greater
part has been completed, afew altera-
tions are yet to be made. Both scen-
ery and costumes will arrive in Ann
Arbor on Friday, March 10, thus al-
lowing the members of the show ample
time for rehearsals before the first
performance on Wednesday, March 15.
The scenery for the first act of the
show represents the home of Mrs.
Gregg at Newport, and has a Span-
ish effect with unusual coloring. The
second act portrays an elaborate ball
room at Mrs. Gregg's home.
Contrary to the ticket sale announce-
ment made yesterday, the sale of tick-
ets will be resumed at the Whitney
theatre box office at 10:00 o'clock Mon-
day morning.
