COACH PROMISES INFIELD SHAKE-UP FOR DLIVET GAME LINE-UP OF MICHIGAN INNER DEFENSE UNCERTAIN AT PRESENT LABADIE BIG STAR OF TRIP "Jo" Robins or Miller Probable Hurl- ers for Opening Game on Ferry Field Tomorrow "There will be a big shake-up on the Michigan infield for Thursday's game against Olivet," Coach Lundgren prom- ised last night. The line-up on the inner defense of-' fers several possibilities and no cer- tainties. Newell may continue at first but there is a strong possibility that Wehmeyer will replace him. Bialosky is apparently billed for second, al- though the coach has not definitely de- termined who will cover the keystone sack. Walterhouse hasn't cinched his berth at short by any means, accord- ing to Lundgren, and there may be a substitution there. Third base is an open question, with Anderson and Cas- well figuring as the two favored can- didates. Outfield Will Remain Intact The outfield will stand intact.

The note which the president intend- ed to send to Germany will be held up in the meantime. The president's ac- tion clearly indicates the serious na- ture of the note which is said to be virtually an ultimatum. The news that the President would address Con- gress came unexpectedly and with dramatic suddenness tonight. It had been announced that the president would confer with congres- sional leaders before putting the note on the table. But after the cabinet meeting today, it was decided that the far-reaching consequences of the pos- sible refusal by Germany to accede to the president's demands fully justified his addressing congress on the sub- ject. So far as is known the president will ask no action on the part of con- gress tomorrow. His executive pre- rogative does not demand that he ob- tain congressional sanction for a sev- erance of diplomatic relations with Germany or action which may lead to this. What the president realizes is that severance of diplomatic relations may even lead to the necessity for more drastic action and he consequently feels that the legislative branch of the government should be consulted. The president has practically pledged him- self to consult congress before taking any definite drastic action on the Ger- man situation. Having informed Congress of his in- tention and after obtaining the tacit consent of congress to go ahead, the president will then address his final warning to Germany on the submarine issue. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, conferred with Secretary Lansing at the State de- partment today, but said he had no news from his government which ex- plained the situation. Excavation for the foundation of the east half of the extension to Water- man gymnasium has been begun by the contractor, A. R. Cole, of Ann Ar- bor. The iron fence, which formerly bordered the walk west of the building, has been taken away, and thetrees in the lawn are being cut down prep- aratory to excavation on that side. Class Track Practice to Continue Despite the fact that Intramural Coach "Rosy" Rowe will be out of the city for the remainder of this week class track training will go on just the same and from now on Ferry Field will fairly bluster with sweltering athletes in every line of sport. Before leaving yesterday "Rosy" stated that beginning this afternoon "Bones" Armstrong would be on hand from 3:30 to 5:30 each day to take charge of class track athletics. House Doubles West Point Cadet Corps Washington, April 18.-The senate entered today upon the closing hours of the army reorganization bill, which probably will be passed tomorrow.

French War Office Claims That Enemy Penetrated Only a First Line Trench London, April 18.-The German in- fantry attack east of the .Meuse, launched yesterday by 30,000 picked infantry troops, netted the Crown Prince part of a salient east of Chauf- f,.Lr wood west of Douaumont village, and 1738 French prisoners, including 42 officers. Of this total only 50 men were wounded. This niumber brings the total of French, captured since the Ver'lun fighting began, to 40,604, of' whom 753 are officers.. As an answer to semi-official French statemeits charging the Germans with gross exaggeration of the French loss- es in prisoners, the Berlin war office announced today that the name of each officer and man captured in the Ver- dun fighting will be published in the Gazette Defardenne, as have been the Iams of all prisoners taken since the outbreak, of the war. It is frankly admitted here that yes- (Continued on Page Six) PRHIB[ITIONUCMPAIGN IS AIMED AT MICHIGAN School and College Fight to Begin Here; Dry University Town Is to Be Big Issue. "The University of . Michigan is going dry," declare leaders of the Michigan Dry Campaign committee, who are organizing college students in every institution of the state for the fight against the saloon. The uni- versity and college campaign will be- gin at the University of Michigan and Ypsilanti Normal school Thursday and; Friday of this week with the annual state convention of the Inter-Collegi- ate Prohibition association. That the University of Michigan it- self should be wholly rid of saloon, influence is the contention of Harry G. McCain, who is in charge of the intercollegiate movement. During] April Mr. McCain's travels in all parts of the state have convinced himJ that thousands of alumni, and other thousands whoare parents of students at the University of Michigan, will do everything in their power to abolish saloons in the state because thereby Ann Arbor will be made a dry town. "Nine-tenths of the students and faculty at the State University are on the dry side today," said Mr. McCain.f "This statement may surprise you butI it is a fact. Opinion -and practice at] Ann Arbor as to drinking have beenI steadily changing for the better in thel last three years. I believe the State University alone will furnish us five1 hundred workers for the cmapaign and we may have three hundred at] Ypsilanti. "Every educational institution in Michigan is being organized for the] campaign of education showing theE evils of liquor as a beverage. An army of five thousand students from the va- rious colleges will be busy during the summer vacation distributing lit-] erature, canvassing communities, and making speeches. Debates will be a feature of the campaign. I am now enrolling workers." At the state convention it is ex-E pected addresses will be made by ex-] (Continued on Page Six) Paris. April 18.---One of the reasons which led to the pro-rogation yester- day of the Russian Duma, by a special imperial u'ase, was the increasing' agitation on the pai t of some mem- bers of the Russi:in parliament for a separate peace the central pow ers. Anthentic information to this effect was obtained in official quarters here today, though no details are made public. curing the epssion toward the end of March, erelations were made in the Duma, it was learned today, concer'ning a nem orandum headed "high ofsicml quarters," by a commit- tee of leading Russian statesmen, in- cluding the ministers of justice, in- terior and cdu, ation, all of whom sign- ed th memorandum. The longing for peace, reports from Petrograd state, prevail only among the bureaucracy, while it is asserted that the masses of the people are en- thutiastic for a continuation of tlhe war.

I VILLA'S DEATH UNCONFIRMED- MEXICAN CONSUL CLAIMS HE HA PAPERS TELLING BODY WAS EXHUMED , FUNSTON AWAITING ORDER Mexican Situation Described as Threal enuing by General; Secretary of War and Wilson Confer El Paso, April 18.--Definite wor was received in El Paso today by ai El Paso business man, with interest in Cusi Huiriachic, Chihuahua, tha there was nothing in the way of wor to confirm the report that Villa ha< died or that his body had been 10 cated by officers of the Carranza forces. The information is the first to read the border with the exception of wire received by the constitutionalist au- Sthorities. - Though the wording j guarded it obviously is intended to dis. credit the report that the body of Villa has been found. Mexican Consul Gar- cia, however, asserted tonight that he had additional despatches 'from San Antonio, Chihuahua, late this evening that 'makes him stronger than ever it the belief that the body of Villa has been exhumed and idenitified. He sai he received the information from the telegraph operator at San Antonio who sent him the first news Sunday 01 the reported discovery of the body Consul Garcia gave out a report from Governor Enriquez, at Chihuahus City: "News of the capture of Villa has not yet been confirmed. Many reports have been received that he is dead and the reports are considered worthy of belief. Carranza chiefs are occupied in tracking down Villa and bringing him in dead or alive." CARRA N ZA TI RE ATENS TROUBI Washington, April 18.--Carranzista military authorities in southern Chi- huahua have served notice on Gener- al Pershing, commander of the Ame- can forces in Mexico, that any attempi on the part of the American expedi- tion to proceed further south will lead to serious trouble. Major-General Funston, forwarding the Pershing report, is understood tc have described as threatening the at- titude of the Carranzistas and to have asked for further instructions. He is said to have sent additional troops across the border to guard the line of communication. There was no con- firmation of press reports from the border of fresh attacks by Carranzis- tas on Pershing's forces. Secretary of War Baker, following the receipt of the Funstaon despatch carried it personally to the office o Secretary of State Lansing. The twc conferred some time concerning it, aft- er which the secretary of war got intc communication with the White House and made an appointment to confer with the President. Mr. Baker was with the President for about an hour, but declined tc comment upon the visit. Before see- ing the President, Secretary Baker said, "We have given no orders tc General Funston that change in any way the character of the expedition or its movements." Favor Partial Withdrawal of Troops Despite this announcement there i growing anxiety in official circles High officials continue skeptical con- cerning the report of Villa's death and members of the President's cab- inet are said to be urging that ar- rangements be made to withdraw the expedition partly in view of the Ger- man situation.
