Purdue Engineers Coming Nay 13 SeV4,11t -lFiyi'eudwi 'er of Junior (lass o ,Universil y; Plan Trip to IDetroit La ayette, Ind., April 27.--More than 7, members of the junior engi- neering cla-,s at Purdue will visit the University of Michigan on Saturday, lay 13, according to information given out today. The visit will he for the purpose o1f inspecting the architectural and engineering colleges of the Ann Arbor institution. The students will also visit a large number of Detroit factories, but will remain over in Ann Arbor long enough to witness the Cornell-Michigan base- ball game at Ferry Field. They will spend several days inspecting the vari- ous plants in Detroit before returning home to LaFayette. News of the proposed visit of the Purdue engineers to Ann Arbor came as a surprise to engineering college authorities last night. It is believed that Prof. 11. E. Riggs, of the engineer- ing college, who has been lecturing at Purdue this week, may have per- suaded the class to visit this univer- sity. As a result no plans have as yet been made for the entertainment of the visitors while they are in Ann Arbor. Smith Addresses Republican Club Ontlines Plants of Party; Says Dem.o- erats llaveii't Lived Up to Proiniscs "The present ale ocratic aministra- tion has broken every plank in its platform with one exception-that its nominee would not run for a second election, and now, boys, it seems as though it were up to the republican party to make them live up to this ex- ception," said State Senator William TI. Smith, in his talk at the Repub- lican club smoker held at the Union last evening. "I can't say who will be the next republican presidential nominee, but I can say that the party will stand for and put into its platform the fol- lowing planks: an efficient merchant marina. an adequate army and navy, free passage of American ships through the Panama canal, protection of sugar and wool industries, and above all, protection of American citi- zens in all countries," continued Sen- ator Smith. The smoker opened with several se- lections by the Aloha quartet, after which a business meeting was called at which Petpr A. Miller, '17L, was elected president. Geo. D. Casto, grad., vice president,'Leslie W. Lisle, '17L, secretary, and Harry Gault, '17L, treasurer. Frank Shaw, '12, city at- torney of Grand Rapids, was the first speaker. He outlined the purpose of the club, which is not to support any one man, but to get behind the party and put its program across. Repub- lican clubs are being formed all over the country and' are primarily for young men. e A11EE 4RANI)ALL, '17. Who Took) ii Leading Part in the French Play Last Night ADELE CRANDALL STRS IN CERCLE PRODUCTION Excellent Cast Presents "Miquette et Sa Mere" at Whitney Theater Adele Crandall, '17, as "Miquette", proved herself the star of last night's production of the modern French com- edy, "Miquette et Sa Mere," staged by the Cercle Francais at the Whit- ney theater. Speaking with an ease and precision that betokened an in- timate aquaiutance with the subtler mood of the language, she played a di iicmult role with excellent effect. The acting of Manuel del Valle, '1CE, as "Urbain," the timid lover of Miaulte, drew many rounds of ap- plause from the audience. Mr. del Valle was in ,an excellent playing mood and gave an extraordinarily sym- pathietic presentation of 1 is part. MryJohns, '1G, as the trim little mad who perpetually made pertinent comments on the conversation, drew a nimber of laughs. The really hu- morous character o the play was ex- cellently portrayed by Leland S. Thompson, '18, in the aole of "Mon- chablon," a orn-out comedian. Lloyd Curby, 17L, as the Marquis, and Mary Corewll, ' <, as the mother of "Miquette," were well received. Other members of the cast deserving mention are Tom C. Reid, '17, as "Pierre", Henley Hill, as "Mongre- bin,"rand Chester Fordney, 'IGE, as "Lahirel." GARGOYLE OUT NOON TODAY Wom1en'M Issue Smres no Prominent Campus Character Limited to 1300 copies, it is ex- pected that the Women's number of The Gargoyle, which appears on the camnus and at local bookstores at noon today, will be exhausted within a short space of time. It is said that no student or member of the faculty who has dared to lift himself above the mediocrity of the crowd has been spared the censure of the ladies. If it be true, as Irving as- serts, that a woman's tongue is the only edged tool that grows sharper with constant use, the reader of The Gargoyle will pause to speculate upon the ages of this month's contributors to the Gargoyle. In the main, however, the jokes are bright and snappy, the satire good- natured, and the drawings clever. It is refreshing once in a while, it is said, to "see ourselves as others see us"-but only once in a while. Dean Efiinger Speaks in Cleveland Dean John R. Eflinger, of the literary college, will speak in Cleveland today at a banquet to be given by the Union club. He will reach that city from Columbus, where he has been attend- ing the annual Conference of Deans. It is expected he will return to Ann Arbor some time tomorrow.

Twenty-five coffins have been re-1 ceived at Columbus from the El Paso quartermaster's depot. It is believed1 these are to be sent down for the bodies of the Americans killed in ac- tion since the American army entered Mexico. All of the bodies have been interred, but it is understood they are to be brought to the border. Will Confer on Submarine Question; Berlin Considers Crisis Past Expect Communication Will Be stored; Condition Re- ported Quiet Re- Berlin, via Amsterdam, April 27.- Ambassador Gerard left tonight for general army headquarters to confer 3with the Kaiser on the submarine ques- tion. Germany's reply to President Wilson's ultimatum is expected to be framed immediately upon the return to Berlin tomorrow of the imperial chancellor, von Bethmann-Hollweg. He, together with the chief of the Ger- man navy, Admiral von Holtzendorff, has had extended conference with the emperor in army headquarters. Just when the reply will be despatched to Washington is not yet decided. A good deal still depends upon the conference between the American am- bassador and the emperor. The jour- ney to army headquarters takes 20 hours each way. The sending of the note may therefore be delayed until the beginning of next week. Berlin considers the crisis passed. The last traces of pessimism have been dispelled, and there prevails through- out Germany today a certain feeling of relief, that the danger of a break with the United States has been def- initely averted. Press comments have become more and more optimiistic dtrn- ing the last few days, and even the extreme radical organs conceded to- day that a settlement of the subma- rime controversy satisfactory to both governments is possible without loss of honor or dignity to Germany. Answer Not Immediate?

Hitherto martial law has prevailed only in the city of Dublin and sur- rounding districts. Mr. Asquith said that for obvious reasons he did not like to name the other places to which the trouble had spread, but there had been in the west and the south, but particularly in the west, places where there was a devel- opment of the movement. Very strin- gent precautions were being taken by the military authorities to deal with these places. Expect Communications Restored Replying to John Redmond, who said he had been unable to communicate with Dublin, Mr. Asquith said he ex- pected that communication would be restored by tomorrow. The Irish sit- nation still presents serious features, the premier admitted. In Dublin some fighting is still in progress in the streets, and the rebels (Continued on Page Six) 26 Initiated by Deutscher Verein Taken Into Organization at Special Meeting; Ceremonies Followed by Social Meeting At a special meeting of Deutscher Verein held last evening, the follow- ing 26 persons were initiated into the society: Hampton H.
