TAKN Y IFTER HARD FIGHT, REMNANT OF MEN STILL HOLD F)RIT AFTER WEE'S FIGHT FRENCH HOLD BEST POSITION Vi achine Gunner Tells of German Dead on Great Rattle Field Paris, Mar. 4.-The situation at Fort Douaumont is not clear. A remnant of Brandenburgers low estimated at between 400 and 500 men, still occupy the fort having been practically sur- rounded for a week. Nevertheless it is believed that they maintained connection with the Ger- man advance positions hidden in the wooded land by underground passages or behind a ruined trench and that thereby they were able to get food. It is stated that the French could cap- ture the fort if they sacrificed enough men, but that they think this would not be justified. Deterred by the French artillery fire from making further attacks the Ger- mans brought up reserves, and began the attack again Thursday morning. Twice they reached the barbed wire entanglements, but were driven back by the French fire. A third attack of even greater violence was begun at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This at- tack lasted for more than an hour. The Germans advanced rank after rank without considering the cost. LI the face of this attack the French line held at all but two points, and here a bayonet counter-attack drove the Germans back-. The repulsed assailants took refuge in the ruins of Hardaumont wood. Tie village of Douaumont is -now in the hands of the Germans, but the French command the heights. In the view of the French experts, the Germans are in only temporary possession of the vil- lage, the French retaining the tech- nical advantage. GI'NNEIl TELLS O- SLAUGHTER Details from this front continue to come in from men who have talen part in the action. Writing from the front n February 27 the operator of a French machine gun says: "The Ger- man dead lie in heaps around us. At times we are obliged to move our ma- chine gun back twenty or thirty yar1s as the German dead are piled so high as to interfere with our fire. "While it has not been possible to estimate the German losses in the Ver- dun drive it appears to be certain that they have suffered extremely heavy losses in their attack on the Douaumont plateau where artillery, machine gun, and rifle fire has blocked their attempt. MCUMBER RESOLUTION BEFORE SENATE AG9IN Senator Considering Whether Direct Vote Should Be Taken, or 1ebate Started Washington, Mar. 4.-The senate is again confronted with the issue as to how it shall deal with the resolution warning Americans off armed mer-' chantmen of the belligerents. The M\cCumber resolution, which was ta- bled yesterday along with the Gore resolution, is lying on the table sub- ject to call. Senator McCumber is considering whether he should call the resolution up early next week and have it voted down, or whether he should start a debate on the merits of the subject matter, and, after the debate has been exhausted, move for the disposition of the resolution. But Senator McCumber objects to having his warning resolution tabled. Ie want a direct vote on it. He also intimatedl that. he may introduce his resolution which he practically with- drew yesterday when he substituted the warlike declaration that the Senate vred down 68 to 14. - j Cy AN k Phones :-Editorial 2414 Business 9$0 TLEGRAPI1 SERVICE BI', NEW YORK SUN1 ANN AlLB3O , MICHIGA , SIJNIDAY , IAICII 5, 1916.

H. IL. Smith, captain of the Wolver- ines, and the intercollegiate championj in the century dash, captured firstI place from a fast field in the 70-yard sprint. 'This boosted Michigan's total to a point where they finished with an excellent account of themselves. Smith's time was 7 2-5 seconds. Cross, also of the western school, took first place in the individual shot put with a hoist of 43 feet 9 1-2 inches. In the team event in this entry, the Maize and Blue finished in second posi- tion with an average for their four ,men of 39 feet and 3-4 inch. Yale won the 6-lap relay race, with Cornell second and Michigan third. Michigan went into the last lap a bad third, but nearly succeeded in pulling out in first place, just missing the cov- eted position by a hair. The time for this event was 9 minutes, 55 2-5s seconds, which is exceptionally. fast for this distance. Meredith, of Pennsylvania, set the Quaker town's partisans wild when he beat out Bingham of Harvard after the latter had a start of eight yards in the three-lap race. Overton, the Yale star distance man, won the final relay for his team by overcoming a two-yard handicap. CL GEORGE BAUN TO SPEAK AT Y ETING Sparkling, scintillating, flashing, glinting, and glancing are only a few of the adjectives used to describe the Leap Year number of the Gargoyle, which is scheduled to make its appear- ance on the campus on March 17. A two-color, two-figure cover design by Alan D. Honey, '17D, is said to em- body the spirit of the quadrennial feast of Hymen. Not the least noteworthy of the drawings is a double page cartoon by Harry R. Leach, '16E, which illus- trates Leap Year as it should be, as well as Leap Year as it really is. Con- tributions in the form of stories and snappy bits of verse by the various campus wits will greet the eye of the reader. Declares Naby 's State Deplorablel Former Secretary Believes Invasion of Our Coast Could not Be Checked New York, Mar. 4.- "If war should be declared tomorrow morning our navy under Josephus Daniels would be absolutely impotent to check the invasion of our coast," declared former Secretary of the Navy George von L. Meyer today. "Congress is tlking war," Meyer contined. "Thanks to Mr. Daniel's incompetence, war tomorrow with any one of four European na- tions would find the way open to the enemy. The public has not yet re- alized the deplorable condition of our navy. Its confidence has not been fully shak'en, but I say that demor- alization has already attacked the per- sonnel because military deficiency has not been Daniel's goal." May Need Bigger Library Budget Higher Prices on BuildYng .materials May Call for Additional Appropriation Dr. J. F. Shepard, chairman of the building committee, stated yesterday that due to the rapid advances in building materials caused by the war, the amount appropriated for the new library will probably be inadequate. The Regents are considering a further appropriation and it is also expected that the west stack, which it had previously been planned to build at a later period, will be constructed at the same time as the new build- ing. The first meeting for men interest- ed in the writing of the 1917 Union opera will be held at the Union at 2:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. At this meeting instructions will be given as to what is required and the form i which it should be written. The manuscripts must be handed iii about the last week of May, at which time the judging conunittee will meet.. it is possible that Director Morgan vill attend the meeting to offer sugges- tions. Plans are also being made to have the book for next year in its final 1 hape by the beginning of the fall term, so as to avoid the trouble encountered in this and previous years. Al men trying out for the opera or- chestra will meet in the School of Music at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon at which time the opera music will be given out. The final list of the men who will compose the orchestra will be given out some time Tuesday. Plans are^ being laid to take from 18 to 20 men on the opera trips. The ticket sale will be resumed at the Whitney theater box-office at 19:00 o'clock tomorrow morning. PREDICTS SUCCESS Work on All-Nation Revue Pageant Presents Almost Finished Appearance TICKET SALE WILL CONTINUE With practically all of the scenery set up and with most of the cast oft 200 in costume, the second dress re- hearsal of the All-Nation Revue held last night in Hill auditorium present- ed an almost finished appearance to the small audience invited to witness the performance. In addition to the students who have assumed roles in the scene, sev- eral small children, who represent toys, Svill take part, and their drills under the leadership of little Fritz Burt, son of an Ann Arbor resident, must prove to be one of the hits of the production. Carlos Zanelli '19E, of Chile, has been cast as the leader in both the Spanish and Turkish acts and his songs, suported in each instance by a chorus of dancing girls, will be one of the surprises of the show. * * *1 * * *~ * * * *~ * * * * * DR.

C[MMINGS GIVES ADDRESS The university health service will start one of the biggest campaigns in the history of the university for the betterment of the health of the stu- dents at a meeting in the Medical build- ing, at 7:00 o'clock tomorrow evening. At this meeting, representatives from each fraternity and house club will be present. Dr. Cummings, head of the health service, will give a talk on hy- giene. Although sanitary surveys of every organization on the campus hae been done every year, the health guardians believe that this coming campaign will make the former unnecessar. Talks on infection and diseases by thelead- ing doctors are expected to impress these matters upon the students. In order to reach the whole male student body, large boarding houses are asked to select a representative also. The meetings will be open to the public and all those interested are cordially invited to attend. A similar campaign among the wom- en will be conducted in the future.
