Prof. Kenyon Expresses Possibility of
Second Performance, Fol-
lowing Request
Before a large and appreciative au-
dience, the Shakespearean pageant,
"The Queen's Progress," given under
the auspices of the Women's league,
was performed in Hill auditorium last
night. q
Almost from the entrance upon the
scene of the two scarlet-clad men-at-
arms to the last word of the epilogue,
the quaint old witchery of the ays of
"Merrie England" was enjoyed by the
audience. The book was written by
Professors Herbert Alden Kenyon and
Morris Palmer Tilley, the former also
acting in the capacity of director of
the pageant. The story, though sim-
pie in itself, possessed a subtle charm
that was sustained throughout, while
to the deft joining and piccing togeth-
er of the "full sum. of gentle Shake-
speare's power" was due the hearty
applause that was accorded.
Following the entrance of C. P. An-
derson as Master of the Revels, the

}.TO RAISE S7;0O FOR
PROHIBITION CM IGN
Work to Be Done by Pole Book Meth-
od, Similar to One Used by
National Parties-
Plans to raise $7,000 in the county
for the support of the movement to-
ward prohibition are now under way.
Of this amount, $5,000 will be used in
Washtenaw 'county itself; the rest
will go to aid the work in other parts
of the state.
Committee work for the Washtenaw
county state-wide prohibition cam-
paign, which received an initial im-
pulse in Ann Arbor Thursday at a
meeting and banquet, when $1,000 was
raised to the support of the drys in
15 minutes, will be under way in
the near future.,
Several members of the university
faculty will have places on this com-
mittee. The work is to be done by
the pole book method, comparable to
the one already in vogue by the Re-
publican and Democratic parties.
A contribution of $100 was made
to the movement by S. S. Kresge, own-
er of a chain of five and ten cent
stores. He is giving $100 for each
store he owns.
Dean W. B. Hinsdale, of the homeo-
pathic school, was one of the speakers
at the banquet which followed the re-
cent meeting. Registrar A. G. Hall
acted as toastmaster. The chief speech
was made by the Hon. J. T. Botkin,
ex-congressman from Kansas, and ex-
warden of the Kansas state peniten-
tiary. He gave an account of the con-
ditions existing in Kansas under pro-
hibition.
LLOYD-GEORIE BACKS UP
ARMY'S DEMAND FOR MEN
London, May 5.-Speaking on a mo-
tion to reject the military service bill,
David Lloyd-George, minister of mu-
nitions, said in the house of commons
today that he would rather be driven
out of the Liberal party-even out of
political life altogether-than have
upon his conscience the responsibil-
Ity of refusing the demands of the
military authorities for men which
might make all the difference between
defeat and victory.
Those who asserted that if the war
lasted until 1917 the nation could not
"stay the course" were both inaccur-
ate and injudicious, he said.
Mr. Lloyd-George argued that until
Russia had completed her equipment,
so as to employ her immense reserves
of men, it was essential that France
and Great Britain put every available

Germans Jielieve
War Impossible
Publication of German Reply Is Fa-
vorably Received by
People
Berlin, via Amsterdam, May 5.-The
publication of the Germa reply to
President Wilson's demands with ref-
erence to submarine warfare was re-
ceived with general satisfaction.
Consensus of opinion in Germany
today was that the German note, un-
ualifiedly yielding as it does to the
American demands to conform its U-
boat campaign to the interests of neu-
trals, makes it impossible for the
United States to realize its threat to
ever diplomatic relations.
It is'believed here that the note re-'
moved all doubt that a diplomatic
break would make, as far as Germany
is concerned, a war between the two
nations and that Germany can, by
making its concessions as desired, pre-
veit such a satastrophe, even at the
cost of submarine warfare.

RUSSIANS IN MOSCOW REVOLT
Explode More Than 5,000) Tons of
Oils; City Afire
Berlin, May 5, by Wireless to Say-
ville.-Revolutionary workmen in Mos-
cow have exploded kerosene and ben-
zine tanks belonging to the Russian
government, according to reports from
Stockholm received by the Overseas
News agency.
The reports say that more than
5,000 tons of the oils were destroyed
in a few seconds, the noise of the ex-
plosion being heard at a great dis-
tance from Moscow.
Fire which started after the explo-
sion has spread to the administrative
and other buildings in the neighbor-
hood of the tanks and is still burning.
"Y" MEETINGS DISCONTINUED
Sunday Night Talks Will Be Given1
in New Auditorium Next Year
No more "Y" Sunday meetings will
be held at the Arcade theater this
year. This announcement was made
yesterday as a result of a decision
of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. The cause
of the discontinuance of the meetings
has not been given out.
Meetings similar to this year's "Y"
Arcade gatherings will probably be
held next year but they will take place
in the auditorium of the new Y. M. C.
A. building instead of the Arcade
theater.

A fourth name was yesterday ad-

the ring. The election, which will be
held at the time of the general elec-

Harrington, second base.

Captain George Labadie and the rest
of the Michigan baseball team are de-
termined to secure revenge on the
Syracuse baseball team in today's
game.
Syracuse has a veteran team, eight
of the men that lined up against the
Wolverines last Thursday having
played on last year's team. The
Orangemen are particularly well for-I
tified in the matter of pitchers, and
they claim a staff of twirlers which
they assert is second to none in col-
lege circles.t
Miller will probably oppose the visi-
tors. The big twirler is in good shape<
and if both men are accorded goodI
support, the game should resolve it-
self into a pitcher's battle.<
Harrington will probably appear att
second. Harrington has been troubled
with a bad arm but he has been hit-
ting the ball fight on the nose andl
is a valuable offensive asset.

PRESIDENT RESERVES DECI
UNTIL OFFICIAL TEXT
IS IN HAND
GERMAN REPLY TO WILSON'S NOTE
ALITHOUGH DIPLOMATICALLY EVASIVE
WILL STOP BREAK IN NEGOTIATION'
WORDING LEAVES LOOPHOLES
Note Has Served Its Purpose in That
Diplomatic Affairs Have Been
Reopened
Washington, May 5.-President Wil-
son has reserved decision on the sub-
marine issue until. he receives the offi-
cial text, but there are many indica-
tions that the German reply to the
American note will avert a diplomatic
break.
The German note was satisfactory
in more ways than one, which appa-
rently means the President's demand
that Germany "imniediately declare
and effect an abandonment of the
present methods of submarine war-
fare" has been granted. German sub-
marine commanders have been or-
dered to conduct their warfare against
merchantmen "in accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
recognized by international law," and
these orders, according to the note,
are in effect now.
The fact that Germany threatens to
withdraw this, unless the United States
demands concessions from Great Brit-
ain relative to the blockade, is not
regarded as necessarily the first Ger-
man concession to the American de-
mands. The United States, it is ex-
plained, will know how to deal with
this threat should it be put into execu-
tion. In the meantime, the submarine
menace to non-combatants is at least
temporarily eliminated and this is a
change for which the President has
been striving.
It is too early to predict with cer-
tainty that the President will accept
this concession, but indications strong-
ly point that way. The President re-
ceived the German reply as cabled to
Sayville and presented the negotia-
tions promptly before a cabinet meet-
ing.
The unfavorable impression made
by the sharp wording in the prelimin-
ary portions of the note was offset by
the outline of the orders to submarine.
commanders, which indicates the spe-
cific concession which the imperial
government has made. It is under-
stood that the President dismissed
nmuch of the severe verbiage of the
note on the ground that it was in-
tended for home consumption in
Berlin.
Following the cabinet meeting, Sec-
retary Lansing said "the question
could not be discussed at 'this time."
He then added that "certain inquiries
concerning the note probably would
be sent to the German government."
Thus it was regarded as significant
that the note had served its purpose
and reopened diplomatic negotiations
between the two countries. President
Wilson had made it clear that in case
the German reply did not meet his
demands he would not enter into any
further discussion.
Other cabinet officers reflected that
the tension had relaxed. Postmaster
General Burleson *,*ould not discuss
