Frenchmen Win in
a Counter Attack
Vital Part of Two-Mile Gain by Ger-
mans Is Again Taken from
Them
Paris, April 3.-The battle for the
village of Vaux, the formidable ob-
ment undertaken by the defenders as
against Verdun east of the Meuse,
is still raging seriously, but when
night settled upon the battlefield it
saw the French victorious in a vio-
lent counter attack, the first one of
the large scale thfts far attempted and
the most successful counter move-
stacle in the Crown Prince's drive
regards results.
In fighting of the most savage char-
acter which lasted all last night and,
throughout the day, the French coun-
ter attack gained steadily until tonight
they had recaptured the western part
of the village and thrown the Germans
back to the northern edge of Caillette
wood and to the pond north of Vaux.
All of these positions have been
firmly held by the Crown Prince's in-
fantry after their latest drive on this
section yesterday and the two previous
days. Thus a vital part of the two-
mile gain made by the Germans was
wrested from them by the French in
the counter attack.

Colonel L. R. Ginilliat, superintend-
ent of Culver Military Academy, will
give a lecture this evening at 8:001
o'clock in Hill auditorium on the mili-
tary training methods used in that
institution.
This lecture is one of the series of
free speeches upon "preparedness"
given under the auspices of the local
National Security League branch. In
addition to outlining the Culver sys-
tem, Colonel Ginilliat will show mo-
tion pictures of the troops there in
action.
K. W. Heinrich, '16E, of the U. SC
Navy, will also speak on the foundingl
of a naval reserve force here.-
Reserve Division
of Navy Possible
Student Battalion of 5 Members May
Be Formed; Explain Details
at Tonight's Lecture
Provided it is enrolled by Friday,
the university will have a Unitedj
States Naval Reserve division with,
a strength of 85 men..
This announcement was made last
night following the receipt of general
orders from naval headuarters. The
division is to be called Number 8, and
will be connected with the first bat-
talion in Detroit.
The incentive for joining Division
8 lies in the fact that the force will bef
eligible for the Bermuda cruise of4
the Atlantic squadron during the com-
ing summer. Throughut this train-
ing trip, the men will receive the regu-
lar navy pay.
Included in the 85 men will be five
officers elected from the students who
compose the company, and several
advisory officials chosen by the au-
thorities.
Full "details of this plan, including
the. plans for examination of fitness
to take places in the division, will be
given at the Ginilliat lecture this eve-
ning in Hill auditorium.

Field Headquarters, Punitive Expe-
dition, United States Army, near Nue-
vas Casas Grandes, Mexico, by radio
to Columbus, New Mexico, April .-
The murder of five Mexican employees
of the Carrolitos ranch by a band of
five Villistas on their retreat from Co-
lumbus, March 20, was avenged Fri-
day night when, in an attack upon a
party of bandits east of San Geronimo,
the cavalry killed a number of Villis-
tas, including Manuel Boyca, one of
Villa's chief lieutenants and the man
who is said to have ordered the kill-
ing of the men at Carrolitass.
This information comes from Car-
ranzista forces and is not vouched
for by the military forces. No details
of the Friday night engagement are
available. The American forces are
vigorously pursuing the Villa bandits
and there have beet several skirmish-
es with the scattered bands since the
big fight last Wednesday between Vil-
la's personal escort and Major Irwin's
cavalry command of Colonel Dodd's
brigade.
It is not intended that Villa shall
escape if he has penetrated into the
mountains out of the reach of the
American cavalry, for General Per-
shing has arranged to have the 24th
infantry (colored) scale the mountain
crags.
Natives Are Surprised
The natives generally are suprised
at the mobility of the American
troops and the staying qualities of the
big American cavalry horses, which
they had supposed would be unable
to negotiate the extremely rough
country over which operations are now
being conducted. The men and horses
are standing the strain wonderfully
well, no men having been reported
sick and no call for remounts having
been issued.
Carranza Offers Only Cooperation
So far as is known here there is
absolutely nothing to warrant border
alarm that any of the Carranza com-
manders are offering anything but co-
operation to the American forces. It
is positively denied that Colonel Cano's
Carranza command fought with the
Villistas against the American forces
near Guerrera last Wednesday:
A dispatch set forth that the victory
was more complete than first reported.
It is now known that Villa lost 60
men killed and a great many more
wounded.

passed. Along State street, North
University, Washtenaw avenue, and
out Geddes to the cemetery gates, the
lines remained unbroken.
At the grave a short committal se'rv-
ice was read. The burial was privatem

Rev. ""ouglas"elivers Address
Sunday morning a memorial address
was delivered by Rev. Lloyd C. Doug-
las at the Congregational church, of
which Dr. Angell was a member. The
Angell pew was draped in black.
"In part Mr. Douglas said: "We
are paying tribute today to a profound
scholar who; though he had met the
problems presented by science, still
raised his heart in prayer to God as
the Author and Source of all power.
We are paying tribute to a world-
traveler who, though, he had met, in-
timately, the problem of conflicting
faiths, still saw the hand and mind of
the All-Father leading his children
with slw but certain footsteps out
into the light of truth. We are pay-
ing tribute to a man of affairs who, in
the midst of a busy life, found time
to commune with the infinite..
"Deep in his loyalties, strong in his
tamth, sincere in his friendships, gentle,
gracious, and kindly toward all mer,--
we may not soon see his like again."
Plan for Memorial Service
Plans for a memorial service for the
late President-Emeritus James B. An-
gell will be discussed at the next
meeting of the University Senate,
which is expected to be held within a
few days.
FREE
Questionnaires seeking information
for use in the anti-tuberculosis cam-
paign, which is being launched by the
university health service, will be cir-
culated over the campus this week.'
An effort will be made to get one of
the blanks in the hands of every stu-
dent of the university.
The questionnaires should be filled
out carefully, according to Dr. H. H.,
Cummings and Dr. C. P. Drury, who
are managing the campaign, and, will
be collected in university classes. To
all whose answer~ appear to indicate
symptoms of tuberculosis, letters will
be sent asking them to call at the
health service for an examination.
In cases where the presence of the
disease is suspected by the health serv-
ice physicians, further examinations
will be made by Dr. A. W. Hewlitt,
professor of internal medicine in the
Medical School, and a specialist in the
study of tuberculosis. If a still closer
examination is necessary an X-ray pic-
ture of the lungs will be taken by Dr.
J. G. Van Zwaluwenburg, professor of
Roentgenology. All of these examina-
tions will be furnished free to students
although it is calculated that the or-,
dinary fee for a complete examination
would be about $50.
eral members of the faculty were pres- ture will be announced as soon as pos-
ent. sible.
