PRICE FIVE CEN f_:y VARSITY DEFEATS OLIVET IN FIRST HOME ENCOUNTER VISITORS ARE SHUT OUT WHILE WOLVERINES GATHER FIVE TALLIES ROBINS' ALLOWS SINGLE HIT Capt. Labadie, Brandell, and Caswell Star; Game Stopped at End of . Eighth Inning' Michigan opened her home season auspiciously yesterday afternoon, Joe Robins applying a beautiful coat of pure, unadulterated whitewash to the lads from Olivet, his team-mates mean- while pushing five runners around the circuit. t The game was called at the end of the eighth inning and the visitors were permitted to hurry down to catch a train back to the regions whence they came. Robins was in danger at no time during the course of the game, the Wolverines staking him to a three run lead at the end of the second, and from this time on it was smooth sail- ing. Olivet's lone bingle came in the final stanza, first baseman J ,hnson poking a clean single into center field.1 Miller did his best to break up a pos- sible no-hit affair in the previous frame, but Brandell was equal to thea situation and he raced across the out- field and pulled down a wicked smash in spectacular style. Captain Labwlie continued his splen- did hitting. George smashed out clean singles on his first two appearances at the plate, and he secured credit for another on his bounder down the, third base line in the fifth when it eluded Hardt. Brandell was much in evidence in an offensive way, contrib- uting a single and double as his por- tion of the day's work. Caswell hitt safely twice and handled five chances1 in the field in flawless :tylc'. Tb e be' "ar ,ayerto Lecture Tonight Passion PlIay Actress's Subijeet to 'Be on "The Message of Ober- ammergan" i score follows: Michigan- AL. R. H. Coming at the height of the Lenten season on Good Friday, the lecture by Marie Mayer of the Passion play on "The Message of Oberammergau," at 8:00 o'clock tonight in University hall will be particularly appropriate and interesting. Fraulein Mayer speaks under the auspices of the Oratorical association. Marie Mayer was born in Oberam- mergau and has participated in the Passion play three times. Though it was the ambition of Ftau- lein Mayer's mother to play the part of Mary she was never chosen, and it was with delight that she greeted the announcement of her daughter's election in 1910. It is th custom of the Burgomeister of Oberammergau and a committee of 19 men to watch the people of Ober- ammergau year after year as they take part in small religious dramatic pro- ductions that are -given from time to time. From the knowledge thus gained, they make a secret vote from five to nine months before the per- formance of the play for the leading actors in the play. The result is giv- en to -the town crier who, according to tradition, goes about the village announcing the elected players. It was in this way that Marie Mayer learned of her choice for the part of Mary Magdalene. Wilder Secured for usrah Talk Y1 Open Campaign with Speech Sun- day Evening; Was Chinese Consul-General Dr. Amos V. Wilder has been secured to sreak -next Sunday evening at the big o; ening meeting df the Busrah campaign, 'v.hich will take place at :.00 o'clock i: Hill auditorium. Fletch- er Brochm an, who was expected to speak at this meeting, was recently obliged to cancel all lecture engage- ments on account of ill health. Dr. Wilder was formerly consul-gen- eral at Hong Kong and Shanghai, China, and is now the financial repre- sentative of the Yale foreign mission. He is a brilliant speaker and has had many ec:periences as a missionary in foreign countries. His special field is China but he is also familiar with the missions of Arabia in which the students of Michigan are particularly interested on account of the Michigan graduates whom they support at Bus- rah, Arabia, by means of the Busrah campaign fund.

Pillsbury.f REEVES GIVES OPINION ON WILSON'S UTIMATUM Uphlds(IPresident it Stand t'aken: With reference to the question of international law involved in Presi- dent Wilso:! 's ultimatum to Germany, Professor J. S. Rewevs, of the political science departmer t, made the follow- ing statement laus night: "First: the positioti of the President should be supported by every Ameri- can citizen with unswerving loyalty. His position in international law was taken a year ago, and the experience of the past year makes it impregnable. "His first position was that sub- marines could not operate against commerce and observe the rules of international law. Niemann, rf......3 Bialosky, 2b4.....

"As submarines have so frequently demonstrated their unwillingness or inability to make these vital distinc- tions, the President rightly condemns all submarine activity against com- merce as in violation of the fundament- al principles of humanity upon which international law has always rested and for which the United States since its beginning as a nation has always contested. "Things have come to such a pass that any American who goes upon the high seas in the neighborhood of the coast of Europe puts himself in jeop- ardy whatever be the nationality of the merchant vessel upon which he sails. Such a situation is obviously intolerable and, before this war, never existed, since the United States was a nation." Another authority stated that, so far as he knew, there had been only one case in which a severance of dip- lomatic relations had not led'to a dec- laration of war. The single exception is extant at present between Italy and Germany. That Wilson has taken the correct stand and "in a very courageous, fine way," was the opinion of a professor who wished his name withheld. He believes that the President has left a loophole in his ultimatum in which he could again come to an agreement with Germany. This loophole is found in Wilson's wording of the clauses re- ferring directly to the use of sub- marines. He added that he was not at all certain that a break would fol- low the present crisis. STAGE DEBATE ON PROHIBIION Two Thousand People Hear Argument Decided in Favor of "Drys" Before a crowd of two thousand people in Hill auditorium last night, C. A. Windle, editor of the Iconoclast, debated Harry G. McCain, secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition asso- ciation, on the question of prohibition. The debate, which was left to the de- cision of the audience, was clearly in favor of the prohibitionists. George D. Casto, grad., will repre- sent Michigan in the State Intercolle- giate Prohibition contest in Pease au- ditorium at Ypsilanti at 8:00 o'clock tonight. SEND 2,000 MORE TROOPS TO ASSIST GENERAL PERSHING El Paso, April 20.-Additional troops for General Pershing are moving from border points tonight. Two thousand nen, it is stated, will leave Columbus tonight: Inlander Appears On Campus Today Literary Magazine Contains Articles and Fictlon by ftaculty Men, and Students Today, for the first time since The Painted Window suspended publica- tion three years ago, a Michigan liter- ary magazine will appear on the cam- pus, when the Inlander goes on sale at noon. As in the case of the Inlander of former years, articles both by mem- bers of the faculty and by students are given as much space as fiction and poetry. The articles include "An Ap- preciation of Dr. Angell," by Prof. Henry C. Adams, who was most in- timately associated with Dr. Angell for over 40 years, and "An Anchor to Windward," by Professor Fred N. Scott, telling of the situation which made the re-establishment of the In- lander possible. "The Shakespeare Tercentenary" is an article by Prof. Louis A. Strauss, and T. Hawley Tap- ping, '16L, has contributed a student article which discusses the over-organ- ization problem at Michigan. The fiction, which was selected from' over 25 stories and poems submitted, consists of a long story by Esther E. Shaw, grad., a humorous story by Al- len Shoenfield, '18, timely because of the Shakespearean atmosphere that runs through it, annd five short poems, one of which, entitled "Kin," interprets' a common experience of all university students.l Six pages of editorials, discussing such campus affairs as the Opera and senior memorials, give the magazine a Michigan touch which follows out. the policy held by the present staff (Continued on Page Six) WILSON RECEIVES TELEGRAMS COMMENDING HIM FOR STANI LTAKEN URGE CONGRESS TO AVOID WAF President Will Be Satisfied Only With Immediate Abandonment of Undersea Campaign BULLETIN. Washington, April 20.-Secretary of State Lansing was informed today by Count von Bernstorff, the German am- bassador, that an immediate reply by Germany to the President's demands was out of the question. It would be probably ten day or two weeks before the German government would reply, Count von Bernstorff said. Washington, April 20.-With the sev- erance of diplomatic relations depend- ent upon Germany's next move, all eyes in Washington are now turned to- ward Berlin. How will the German government receive President Wilson's demand that present. methods of submarine warfare be immediately abandoned? Will Germany accept the demand, re- ject it, or offer to compromise with the President's stand? These are the ques- tions that have been uppermost in the mind_ of Washington today. The fear that the submarine contro- versy has reached a stage where it can not be diplomatically adjusted gathered strength today. President Wilson received hundreds of telegrams commending him for his firm stand in defense of American rights. Mem- bers of Congress also were :flooded with telegrams urging them to avoid war or anything that might lead to war. Nothing short of an immediate aban- donment of Germany's submarine cam- paign against merchantmen as it has been conducted since the beginning of the war will satisfy the President. it is stated tonight. According to high authority, the President means that submarines must give up every eva- sion of international law when he says that "present methods" must be ab- andoned, Both President Wilson and Secre- tary Lansing regard it as impossible for a German submarine to fulfill these requirements and therefore the Presi- dent is convinced that abandonment of Germany's submarine warfare against merchantmen .is imperative.

HOLD CAMPUS ELECTIONS SOON Affairs Will Be Left in Hands of Par- ticipating Organizations Plans for the second annual Campus Election Day are rapidly nearing com- pletion in the hands of the Student' Council committee which was appoint- ed to draw them up, according to a statement made yesterday by W. M. Shafer, '16, chairman of the commit- tee. While no definite date has been set, it seems likely that the elections will be held on June 1. Because of the spccess of the plan which was begun last year, it is be- lieved that the same organizations which participated then will again hold their elections on Campus Elec- tion Day this year. Among these were the Michigan Union, the Board in Con- trol of Student Publications, and the Athletic association. As on the first general election day, direct control of the different elec- tions will be left to the various organ- izations taking part, although the Stu- dent Council will exercise general su- pervision. loc THE I LA DER "An Appreciation of Dr. Angell."
