and Ilawkes acted. with more smooth-t
ness than in any lbcal performance,
and secured considerable commenda-l

Earl Pardee, as Fan Mason, presenteda
in a breezy fashion, won favor withr
the alumni. The singing and dancingp
of the entire troupe proved to be bigI
factors in the success of the show.t
The Toledo alumni welcomed the1
opera by their large attendance, andt
announced he intention of securing
the Mimes production every year1

More than 4,000 people attended theJ

there is now a possibility that the
show may be given twice in that city.
Report Waite Has'
Jiade Confession,
Brother of Accused States That Den-
tist Has Corrected His
First Story
New York, March 27.-District At-
torney Swann was informed tonight
that Dr. Arthur Warren Waite has
made a new confession of his com-
plicity in the death of his father-in-"
law, John Peck.
Judge Swann was at his country
place and has not been able to com-
municate with Frank A. Waite, a
brother of the accused dentist to
whom the new statement was made
in Bellevue hospital prison. Frank
Waite left the hospital tonight after
spending almost all of the afternoon
at his brother's bedside urging the
dentist to tell the truth.
As he went out he said his brother
had made a new statement amplifying
and correcting the story he had al-
ready told but he refused to tell the
nature of the new admission.

Washington, Mar. 27.-Two of the 1
army aeroplanes with the Pershing -
expedition in Mexico have been de-
stroyed. Announcement to this ef-
fect was made at the war department
this afternoon by Secretary Baker. P
The Secretary was unable to giver
any details as to how the machines
were destroyed or whether their pilots
were injured. Department officials
believe the machines must have fallen
during scouting flights, but say that
if their drivers have been hurt or if
the machines have been brought down
by snipers, Pershing would have so
reported. '
Of the eight aeroplanes sent intoI
Mexico, the report shows only two
are now in working order, four of them
being laid up for engine trouble.

CONSI)ER CIIAINGE IN PUBLIC C
SCHOOL SYSTEM OF ANN AROR t
--- a
Patrons of the Ann Arbor public
schools held a joint discussion with r
the members of the Board of Educa- c
tion last evening in the auditorium t
of the high school.
Tlye general sentiment was that thet
Ann Arbor schools are weak along 1
lines of vocational training, and the
appropriations which the board is to
ask for will probably be used to aE
great extent to provide for these
needs. After the sum needed hasf
been decided upon, the tax-payers will1
be given a chance to vote as to whe- f
ther or not bonds shall be issued. Ther
board's estimate is that $300,000 will
provide for all the necessary addi-I
tions. -

U. S. FORCES NEVER BETTER
PREPARED, SAYS
DISPATCH
MEXICANS PERMITTED ESCAPE
Soldiers Suffering from Cold; Villa
About 100 Miles to South-
East of Camp
Galveston, Mar. 27. -Villistas
have captured Torreon, the met-
ropolis of the state of Chihuahua,
according to a report received here
tonight. All southern Chihuahua
and Coahuila are now said to be in
the hands 0f the handits.
Headquarters of the Punitive Ex-
pedition, United States Army, near
Casas Grandes, Mexico, by aeroplane
to Columbus, New Mexico, March 27.-
The further south the army penetrates,
the more persistent and consistent be-
comes the co-operation and assistance
in pursuit of Villa on the part of the
forces commanded by officers of the
Carranza government, a circumstance
very favorably commented upon by
officers of the armed expedition.
Never in the history of the army of
the United States has every branch
of the service, cavalry, infantry and
artillery, given better evidence of its
mobility, stamina and preparedness
than on this expedition. Since leav-
ing Columbus, March 15, the army
has reached a point 200 miles south-
ward, every mile of which was trav-
elled overland through some of the
roughest country in the republic of
Mexico.
"I am proud of the record made by
the forces under my command on this
occasion," said General Pershing, lead-
er of the expedition, when discussing
the matter this afternoon, "The men
and animals are in splendid condition
and, so far as the men are concerned,
the furher they get into the interior
of the country the more enthusiastic
they seem to become."

TODAY LAST 1AY TO SECURE
COMMENCEMENT 1NVITATIONS
Senior lits who have not ordered
commencement invitations as yet have
only up to tonight to do so. The time
set for the ordering of invitations ex-
pired over two weeks ago, but since
over 175 seniors have not been heard
from as yet, this extra time allowance
has been secured from the printers.
The definite order for invitations
will be placed Wednesday and it will
be impossible for seniors to secure
them after that time. It is therefore
necessary that all orders be in the
hands o' the committee this evening.
CHIEFTAIN IS RETI EATING
Villa was reported nearly 100 miles
southeast of this point, which indicates
that he is retreating. It is believed
that the American forces cannot get
any contact with him. There is in-
timation that, far from seeking asy-
lum in the Duerro district where he
is supposed to have been, Villa has
turned eastward, giving no indication
as to his ultimate object.
A new advance base for the Ameri-
can army has been established 100
miles below Casas Grandes, and nio-
tor companies have left for this base
loaded with supplies of all kinds for
the troops stationed there. The gar-
rison now at the front is composed of
organizations representing all branch-
es of the military service.
CARRANZISTAS TO BLAME
San Antonio, Maxi, 27. - General
day, General Pershing announced that
that Villa did not break through the
line of the American forces, but slip-
ped past the Carranzistas.
There is reason to believe that the
Carranza troops are not only failing
to co-operate actively with the Ameri-
can troops but are actively aiding Villa
to escape. General Funston reported
that the expeditionary force was suf-
fering from cold. Being very lightly
clad for service, he said our troops
are now actually suffering from the
extreme cold in the mountain coun-
try. -
Lieutenant Bowen, the ,aviator in-
jured in a fall at Casas Grandes, ar-
rived at San Antonio today and was
taken to Fort Sam Houston hospital.
General Funston has received no word
of sniping by Mexicans as reported
from El Paso. He says General Per-
shing would report to him, if it were
true.
Returning to Casas Grandes on Sun-
day General Pershing announced that
he had established an advance base
at El Valle, 20 miles south of the
present field base. Casas Grandes, be-
ing 110 miles from the border, the
American troops are now 130 miles in
the interior of Mexico, with the dis-
