Olivet Captain to Appear in Pitcher'
Box; Little Known as to
Ability of Visitors
Michigan opens her home basebal
season here this afternoon when th
Varsity stack up against Olivet o
Ferry Field. Play will commence
promptly at 4:05 o'clock.
In an effort to produce a winning
combination, Coach Lundgren ha
been juggling with the Michigan bat
ting order, and he has made one al
teration in the 'actual lineup, sendin
Bialosky in at second base. Biolasky
will follow "Billy" Nieman in th
bAtting order, William being retained
as lead-off man. Captain George La-
badie will follow Bialosk, batting
third, while Brandell will continue
in the clean-up role. Walterhouse fol-
lows the center fielder and Caswell
and Newell appear next in the order
named.
The battery men are a trifle uncer-
tain but the chances favor Robins and
Dunne. If "Morry" isn't used behind
the plate, "Rummy" Roehm will make
his debut in a Michigan baseball uni-
form and will handle the slants of the
Wolverine twirler. The honor of
pitching the opening contest on the
local lot will probably go to Joe
Robins, who proved about as effective
as any one of Lundgren's box-artists
on the southern trip.
Captain Loomis is slated to work for
Olivet with Schlaack and Myers named
as the possible alternates. But little
is known of the visitors here, although
they fell before M. A. C. a few days
ago, the Aggies scoring runs in flocks
and bunches all afternoon. Michigan's
offensivehtactics have been satisfac-
tory for the most part, 'according to
the coach, fielding slips and bad twirl-
ing in spots receiving the bigger part
of the blame for the disastrous jour-
ney into southern climes. Joe Robins
is in good shape for today's battle,
and with some support behind him in
the field, tie Olivet aggregation should
be checked easily.
The visitors will line up as follows:
Hannigan, shortstop; Watson, cen-
ter field; Cunningham, second base;
Miller, catcher; Johnson, right field;
Myers, first base; Werdt, left field;
Hart, third base; Loomis, pitcher.

Is
TO FORM "STRONG-A R" SQUAD
."Resolved that prohibition of in-
toxicating liquor for beverage pur-
poses is wrong in pinciple, unchris-
tian in character and powerless as
a remedy for intemperance," will be
the subject of the Wet and Dry Debate
to be staged at 7:30 o'clock tonight
in Hill auditorium, between Harry G.
McCain, university secertary of the
Intercollegiate Prohibition association,
and C. A. Windle, editor of the Icono-
clast, the National Lifuor Dealers'
Association magazine
The debate is attracting state-wide
attention, this being the first wet-dry
debate ever held here and the opening
gun in the campaign for state-wide
prohibition. Prof. H. L. Wilgus of the
Law school will preside, and the deci-
sion will be left to the audience.
W. J. Hoshal, manager of the Wayne
county dry campaign, will attend the
debate and after the close will en-
deavor to interest students in a "strong
arm squad" which he is trying to en-
roll to the number of 200 men to work
at the coming polls. Mr. McCain has
secured 500 men in the state to work
during the coming campaign making
speeches.
The error in this morning's Daily
was caused by the fact that up to
that time Mr. Windle had not answer-
ed the letter of the I. P. A. challeng-
ing him to a debate, and according to
the terms of the agreement laid down
by the I. P. A. he had forfeited the
debate. However, a letter was receiv-
ed, and as both parties were apparent-
ly anxious to have the debate carried
out the contest has been arranged forI
tonight.

OUTLINES HISIJRY OF CASE
Hopes Ii Aerial Covernmnent May Meet
Demands in S irit "in Which
They Are Made"
Washington, April 19.-Significant
extracts from President Wilson's ad-
dress before Congress today follow.
The President asked no action what-
ever of Congress. His address simply
showed that he means to sever rela-
tions with Germany, unless that na-
tion immediately ceases its submarine
warfare. Diplomatic history shows
that such a course is almost certain to
be followed by war.
The President's speech in part was:
"A situation has arisen in the for-
eign relations of the country of which
it is my duty to inform you very
frankly."
The President then outlined the his-
tory of the controversy. He said:
"It (the Unitled States) based its
protest on the ground that persons
of neutral nationality and vessels of
neutral ownership would be exposed
to extreme and intolerable risks, and
that no right to close any port of the
high seas against their use or to ex-
pose them to such risks could lawfully
be asserted by any belligerent govern-
ment. The law of nations in these
matters, upon whichtthe United States
government based its protest, is not
of recent origin or founded upon mere-
ly arbitrary principles set up by con-
vention.
"It is based, on the contrary, upon
manifest and imperative principles of
humanity and has long been estab-
lished with the approval and by the
express assent of all the civilized na-
tions."
President Sunniarizes U-Boat Warfare
=The President then detailed the re-
suits of the warfare as practiced by
the German U-boat commanders. Ii
summarizing, he said:
"Tragedy has followed tragedy on
the seas in such fashion, with such at-
tendant circumstances, as to make it
grossly evident that warfare of such
a sort, if warfare it be, cannot be car-
ried on without the most palpable vio-
lation of the dictates alike of right"
and humanity.
"Whatever the disposition and in-
tention of the imperial German gov-
ernment, it has manifestly proved im-
possible for it to keep such methods of
attack upon the commerce of its ene-
mies within the bounds set by either
the reason or the heart of man-
kind. * * *

man government has given this gov-

Washington, April 19. - President
Wilson has served notice on Germany
that it must choose immediately be-
tween abandonment of its present
methods of submarine warfare and
severance of diplomatic relations with
the United States.
The President addressed Congress
.n joint session today and informed
that body of the action he had taken.
The note to Germany carrying the
final word of this government had
been despatched to Berlin hours be-
fore the President took Congress into
his confidence.
It was made public tonight. It con-
tained a scathing general indictment
of Germany's ,ubmarine policy, ac-
companied by the assertion that the
United States has now reached the
point where it must hold' that sub-
marine warfare against the commerce
vessels is incompatible with the right
of neutrals and non-combatants and
the principles of humanity. This is
the wording of the demand that the
President makes upon Germany:
"Unless the imperial government do
not immediately declare and effect an
abandonment of its present methods
of submaine warfare against the pas-
senger and freight carrying vessels,
the government of the United Stated
can have r.o choice but to sever dip-
lomatic relations with the German em-
pire altogether."
MUST S'EYER RELATIONS
All other features of the note are
regarded as of minor importance com-
pared with this demand for it is on
this point that the German government
will act and upon Germany's action de-
pends the immediate seriousness of
the situation.
President Wilson is understood to
mean by this demand that Germany
must give up its submarine campaign
against merchant shipping and com-
iierce carrying vessels altogether. Ref-
erences in his note preceding the de-
mand indicate this. He says that the
use of submarines for the destruction
of an enemy's commerce is of neces-
sity "utterly incompatible" with the
princibles of humanity.

ABANDON SUBMARINE WARFARE
It, was understood authoritatively
that the President intended to demand
the abandonment of submarine war-
fare against commerce-carrying ves-
sels. But officials admit that the ac-
tual demand made upon Germany is
so worded as to leave this important
point open to two constructions. One
is that Germany must abandon its
submarine campaign against mer-
chantmen altogether; -the other that
Germany must abandon its "present
methods of submarine warfare" in
favor of other methods of submarine
warfare against 'merchantmen which
will satisfy the President.
German diplomats here at once
seized upon the latter construction and
it is regarded as certain that the Presi-
dent's demands will be so interpreted
in Berlin. It leaves*Germany an op-
portunity to reply that the imperial
government will endeavor to con-
form to this demand by a revision of
th'e rules now governing the warning
of passenger ships and merchantmen
and by agreeing adequately to pro-
vide for the safety of. the crews. There
