Owing to the engagement of ?Miss Leonora.Allen with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, it has been nec- essary tochange the date of the next concert of the University Symphony Orchestra to Wednesday, Aprii 5, in- stead of April 6 as was previously an- nounced. Three soloists will appear with the orchestra at this time. Miss Leonora Allen, soprana, whose rare appear- ances on the Ann Arbor concert stage have been greeted with unfailing en- thusiasm, will sing Delibes' "The Maids of (adiz." Mr. Earl V. Moore will phiy' r uboi "F:ntasie Tiomp- alS', (711'' o 1 1 New a'terks ,or , og0' - iii; C :wha. 1 ':1s l ( ,C,) pa 'i;:mjt; an Mr. Nicolo Far- c will play Weber's reirehing; "(oin- certlno" for the (larinet.

ALL PAST, Germans have continued attacks on the French battle front, marked es- pecially by furious fire of heavy guns, and the Russians have resumed a violent offensive over more than a hundr ed miles of the eastern front, intended probably to draw off Ger- mans :rom the Verdun attack. These are the main battlefield headliners of the past several (lays. But the field of geniiernl diplomnatic relations has been ii d up stringently by the sink- ing of1':i Bi'tih hships Sussex and EnglIslmlnl:t u, w h ichl carrie(1 AmiericanfL passzen s a ooaI'd. The Mexican question is s1ll holding fire, and the course that the Carranza troopers will follow is still a burning one. The Germans have kept up violent assaults on the lines of the French, especially west of the Meuse. They have come within about four miles of the Paris-Verdun railway, which seems to be an objective. Numerous reports state that the city of Verdun is in flames in many parts. British at- tacks farther west resulted in the gaining of a few hundred yards of trenches, but numerous French coun- ter attacks on various partso of the line were on the whole unsuccessful. Russians trying to repeat the manoeu- vers of 1914, when they drew off the German campaign toward Calais, began RBEVIEW Of WEEK'S WAR recently a general offensive on most of the eastern fronts, especially to the south of Riga and in Bessarabia. The results of these battles have contra- dictory reports in the Petrograd and Berlin offices. Russians have also oc- cupied Ispahan, in a part of Persia generally conceded as being under the sphere of influence of Great Britain. Russians are besieging Tre- bizond. In the field of diplomacy, the situa- tion is tied up by the deliberations re- sulting from the sinking of two British ships in the channel, and the probable loss of several American lives. Wash- ington authorities propose to await further proof before assuming that the sinking was by German submarine. MNit, 12 OF TOL EDOIES., 1) AUG ilTE R OFl 'ROF.
