PROCEEDS FOR RELIEF FUND
More Than $1,090,000* Already Spent
by Y. f. C. A. Organization in
War-tornEEurope
William Jennings Bryan, ex-Secre-
tary of State, pacifist, and orator, will
appear in Hill auditorium tonight un-
der the auspices of the university "Y"
to speak upon the subject of "The War
and Its Lessons for 'Us." Proceeds
from this speech will go to aid the
relief work which is being done by the
Y. M. C. A. organizations in the war
zone of Europe.
More than $1,000,000 has already
been sent from the United States for
the furtherance of this great move-
ment, which is secondonly to the ef-
forts of the Red Cross society in alle-
viating misery in the field ,hospitals
and prison camps of Europe. A. Y. M.
C. A. man is appointed director in
each place,,with $2,000 to spend as he
considers ,best to meet the peculiar
needs of that location.
-The success of this work is due to
the earnest co-opertin of the mili-
tary authorities of every nation. They
lend support', only requiring that no
military secrets which come to the
ears of the directors are sent to the
American press.
Owing to the gigantic size of this
work, the general secretary of the
World's Studnt Christian Association
has sounded the call for additional
funds, and the proceeds from tonight's
lecture will be part of the contribu-
tion from the university "Y".
During his short stay in Ann Arbor,
Mr. Bryan will delivert)vo speeches.
In addition to his lecture in Hillau
itorium he is to address the workers
of the Busrahi campaign at 4:00 o'clock
in Newberry hall on the subject of
"The First Comndment." Origin-
ally the public was to have been ex-
cluded from this meeting, but a few
extra tickets are left which will be

churches are 10:30 in the morning
and 7:30 in the evening. In addition,
a special early service is held in the
Episcopal church at 7:30 o'clock in

On Lecture Tour
Hamilton Holt, editor of The Inde-
pendent, will speak tomorrow night
in the Methodist church at 7:30 o'clock.
'he subject of his lecture will be "Na-
tional vs. International Prepa redness."
Mr. Holt has for the last 15 years
been an advocate of international
peace. He has probably published more
in a constructional way on the sub-
stttution of law for war than any
other author.
Just before the outbreak of the pres-
ent war in Europe.- Mr. Holt was en-
gaged in the establishment of a league
of peace. He believes in a peace fed-
eration of the world. For many years
he has lectured throughout the coun-
try on international peace, and has
spoken before nearly all national and
international peace societies.-
He is a member of the executive
committee of several international
peace societies, and in 1909 he wads
decorated by the Emperor of Japan
with the Order of the Sacred Treasure,
for developing friendly relations be-
tween Japan and the United States.
Mr. Holt is coming to Ann Arbor
under the auspices of the Wesleyan
Guild. His last visit to this city was
a year ago last November when he
spoke to a capacity audience. He is
at present on a lecture tour in Ohio
and Michigan. . -

Seas Agency Issues State-
luelt.
Berlin, Mar. 10.-Germany declared
war on Portugal at 3:30 o'clock

guese minister in Berlin who was

the Overseas agency, the official news
bureau of the German government, is-
sued the following statement:
"The German declaration emphasizes
the fact that this step was made neces-
sary by the recent illegal seizures of
German ships in Portuguese ports,
which is the gravest sort of breach of
neutrality and of special treaties. Ger-
many therefgre is obliged to give up
her former attitude of forbearance,
which she had maintained because of
Portugal's awkward situation."

Execution of the order will be car-
ried out at once. By daybreak tomor-
row it is expected the American forces
will be well into Mexican territory.
With the, growing prospect of ac-
tive opposition by General Carranza,
head of the de facto government, there
is apprehension in officialcircles that
the present move may mean the be-
ginning of general intervention. Pub-
licly, however, the administration is
taking every precaution to prevent
such a possibility,
PRESIDENT MAKES STATEMENT
The decision to act was made at
an afternoon meeting of the cabinet,
which las held several meetings since
yesterday morning. At the conclusion
of this afternoon's session, the Presi-
dent authorized the following state-
ment:
"An adequate force will be sent in
pursuit of Villa with the single ob-
ject of 6apturing him and putting a
stop to his forays. This can and will
be done in entirely friendly aid of the
constituted authorities in Mexico and
scrupulous respect for the sovereignty
of that republic."
In discussing the course to be pur-
sued, President Wilson is reported to
have declared to the members of his
cabinet:
"Gentlemen, we have set our hand
to the plow and we must go to the end
of the furrow."
BAtER ANNOUNCES COURSE
Altl, the entire day was given by
t'? administraticu and the war depart-
rient w a consideration of the exact
course to 1,e purs e, it was not until
7:.0 o'clock this evcning that Secre-
tary of War Baker, following a confer.
ence with the President, announced
that the orders to be followed were
embodied in the following:
"There is no intention of entering
Mexico in force. A sufficient body of
mobile troops will be sent in to locate
and to dispose of the band that at-
tacked Columbus. So soon as the forces
of the de facto government can take
control of the situation any forces of
the United States then remainiing in
Mexico will, of course, be withdrawn.
"The forces of the United States
now on the border will be immediate-
ly recruited, but only for the purlpse
of safeguarding the territory of the
United States from further raids."
NOT TO ASK FOR VOLUNTEERS
This statement by the newly-ap-
pointed secretary of war sets at rest
all the rumors to the effect that the
administration was to ask for several
hundred thousand citizen volunteers
As long as the President has decided
to repose trust in the ability of Car-
ranza to really govern Mexico, there
is no need for such a large force.
It is very probably that t'he troops
located on the border will be able
to take Villa, although that chieftain
has retired with several thousand fol-
lgwers to the mountains.
