Ne: York, April 6-The tossing of
Theodore Roosevelt's hat into the ring
today, as a candidate for president,
was a surpe 1;;e to politicians. .That
something Uke this was to follow the
meeting of Elihu Root, Senator Lodge,
General Leonard Wood and Mr. Roose-
velt, at tiv, Mome of Robert Bacon last
week, hail een anticipated, but had
not been expected so soon. Political
observers had but one explanation to
offer to his turn in the situation, and-
that was that a wrong interpretation
had been put upon the meeting.
Adherents of Senator Root jumped
to the conclusion that Colonel Roose-
velt was to stand behind his former
secretary of state and pull the Pro-
gressive party with him. Adherents
of Justice Hughes had concluded that
the Colonal and Mr. Root had met to
discuss the best ,:ay to put up Mr.
Hughes as the candidate of both par..
ties.

Duty on Dyestuffs Proposed by !tens.
Washington, ). C., April 6.-Pro-
tection with a string tied to it is being
given to American manufacturers of
dyestuffs by the Democrats in con-
gress.
It became known today that the

Proiv isiojIs Include Expenditure
$100,000,000 for Increasing
C'oast Defenses
of
Washington, April G. - The third
great element of the national pre-
paredness program today was brought
into the House. It is the largest for-
tification billever reported. It is
proposed to spend approximately $100,-
000,000 to increase and modernize the.
coast defenses, and to supply an ample
store of reserve ammunition for the
guns.
Included in the bill are provisions
for mounting _364ncbr direct-fire rifles
to guard New York, Boston, San Fran-
cisco, and other great cities, from long.
range naval bombardment. Provision
also is made for mounting 12-inch
rifles now in reserve so they will have
a range of more than 30,000 yards, or
15 sea miles. In approving the bill,
the committee accepted almost with-
out alteration the proposals of the
War department and the officers who
have studied the subject of coast de-
rense for years.

Following the appearance of the
Michigan. baseball squad before the
eligibility committee last night, Coach
Lundgren announced that the follow-
ing 15 men would make the southern
trip:
Newell, Smith, Warner, Walterhouse,
Labadie, Wm. Niemann, Brandell,
Dunee, Arentz, Robins, Miller, Andrus,
Ohlmacher, Roberts and Caswell. The
"team, which will be accompanied by
Coach Lundgren and Student Manager
Sidney Steen, will leave Ann Arbor for
Toledo tonight at 7:40 o'clock.
The above lineup is much the same
as the coach has been using for th
past 'week in the daily workouts on
Ferry field. Tom Soddy, the only vet-
eran on the Michigan pitching staff,
decided at the last minute to pass up
the annual southern tour in order that
he might stick to the big'books a little1
more closely for the present. Coach
Lundgren stated that the team needed
Soddy badly but that he respected the
left hander's decision.
Coach ILundgren stated last night
that the chances were Robins would
be pressed into service tomorrow aft-
ernoon against the Kentucky outfit,
although Miller will open the game.
Neither of these two boys has received
enough outside work to enable him to
step through a full game as nicely as
they will be able to do later on. Hence
the coach has about decided to whack
the burden and the chances are that
the pair will og about 50-50. "Morry"
Dunne will be behind the plant hand-
ling Miller, with Arentz held in re-
serve.
The team will work out today on
Ferry field as usual.

of small engagements, the French
troops are slowly recovering ground
between the Caillette wood and Douau-
mont, and regained today 200 meters
on a front of 500 meters. The gain was
made by hand to hand fighting. A
German counter attack, which was
started toward night, broke down un-
der the French fire.
Germans Gain in Haucourt
A heavy German attack on the west
bank of the river last night gained
a foothold in the village of Haucourt.
The attack was made simultaneously
at two points of the Avocourt-Bethin-
court front and continued through the
night. The attack at the latter point
was completely checked. Haucourt,
which is in a hollow dominated by the
heigths to the east, is now under fire
of the French guns on these heights,
according to the official afternoon
communication.
French Check Declared
Berlin, April 6.-After a preparatory
fire lasting all day, the German forces
stormed the village of Haucourt and a

night. A renewal of the French effort
to recapture the position in the Cail-
lette wood, and to the northwest of
the wood, was checked immediately.

BISHOP G. MOTT WILLIAMS
of the Diocese of Marquette
as his subjects "A Good Conscience,"
in the morning, and "The Gospel Ac-
cording to Abraham" in the evening.
As a preacher and linguist Bishop Wil-
liams has a national reputation. He
has translated several foreign works
into the English language and during
the past several years he has been
promoting a plan of unification be-
tween the Episcopal church of Swe-
den and the Anglican communion in
this country. He is also bishop in
charge of the Episcopal churches in
the war-ridden countries of Europe,
and during the past two years he
has done much in aiding conditions
in those countries.
Bishop McCormick, who 'will speak
at both services on April 16, is well
known as an author and preacher, and
during the past several years he has
spent considerable time in the large

FORD'S MAJORITY NEAR 6,000
Auto Manufacturer Increases Lead in
"Favorite Son" Contest,
Detroit, April 6.-Henry Ford's ma-
jority over Senator Smith for the hon-
orary position of Michigan's "favor-
ite son" was increased to more than
5,000 votes today and is still climbing.
It is now practically certain that

mately 6,000, and that he carried the
state as well as the city of Detroit
and Wayne County. k
Zepp Raids to Continue, Papers Say
Geneva, April 6.-The newspaper
at Friedreichshaven, and other jour-1
nals near the Zeppelin headuarters,
say that raids will continue throughout
the spring with London as their prin-
cipal objective. Great satisfaction
over the recent air raid on England
is' expressed. Count Ferdinand Zep-
pelin, at Stuttgart, is daily receiving
telegrams and letters of congratula-
tion on the success of recent attacks.
WORR OF U. S. TROOPS IN CHI-
HUAHiUA COMPLETED,
HE THINKS
LEADER SOUGHT NEAR SATEZO
P ershings Column Hunts for Bandits
in Country Around Scene of
GuIerero Battle
.l Paso, April 6.-General Obregon,
minister of war for Mexico, is confi-
dent that Villa has been completely
crushed in the Chihuahua campaign,
and that as a result of this fact the
work of the United States punitive
expedition in Mexico has been vir-
tually completed.
I n a dispatch' today to Consul Gar-
cia, Obregon advised that, according
to information from Chihuahua, Villa
has been defeated in several engage-
men ts with the Constitutionalist forces
The telegram reads in addition" that
"General Gutierrez, chief of the
forces in Chihuahua state, has assured
many that it will not be long before
Villa is cuptured."
American Mission Partly Performed
The Constitutionalist authorities
have authoritatively stated that Villa's
men are routed, and that he himself
is wounded is construed by the Con-
stitutionalists as the first step in the
acknowledgment to American troops
that their mission in Mexico has been
lerformed.
Neither Consul Garcia nor General
Gutierrez would talk today upon the
question of the use of the railroads
in Mexico by American troops. Gen-
eral Gaviera was also reluctant in
expressing himself upon the passage
of American troops any farther
south.
WILL FIGHT SOUTH OF SATEZO
San Antonio, April 6.-Somewhere
south of Satezo probably will figure
frequently in future reports of mili-
tary operations against Villa. Out
of the great mass of unofficial and
conflicting i reports, General Funston
and his staff have found none they
regard more probable than that made
by Consul Lechter of Chihuahua, sev-
era! days ago, when he said Villa was
a short way south of Chihuahua.
General Pershing has made no re-
cent reports as to Villa's whereabouts
or concerning the movements of the
advance cavalry, but General Funston
said today he had no doubt that by
this time at least one detachment had
gone as far as Satezo. From Satezo,
trails lead east and south and if Villa
did go to Satezo it is regarded as prac-
tically certain that he has continued
toward Parral.
Pershing Still Searching
General Pershing is still searching
the district-about Guerrero with cav-
alry and infantry, but this is being
done to clean out that part of the
band which scattered at the fight at
Guerrero, and also to locate Villa,
who many insist is still hiding within
half a day's ride within Guerrero.
Fifty prisoners, including women
and children. were murdered by band-
its between Torreon and Cacatecas
on March 28, when the marauders
wrecked the train on which they
were riding, according to word re-
ceived from Laredo today.
