The final score showed 76 counters for the Maize and Blue, and but 49 for Notre Dame. Due to the prevailing weather con- ditions, but few spectators turned out to witness the first track gathering in which the Varsity has taken the host's chair this season. Michigan treateq the visitors rather rudely right at the outset, when Cap- tain Smith and O'Brien finished one- two in the century dash. The time for this number was clocked in 10 sec- onds flat, showing that "Hal" is back to his regular form.

Select "aterial for May Inlander Ineludes 'Number of Poems and Stor- ies by Prominen Campus Material for the May number of the Inlander which is to appear about the middle of the month has been finally selected. Topics relating to student life and activity are much in evidence, and but one article by a member of the faculty will be printed in the issue. T. Hawley Tapping, '16L, continues his discussion of the question, "Michi- gan Over-organization," in which he offers a solution for remedying the present situation. Another article by Werner W. Schroeder, '16L, deals with the Union, revlewing the attitudles taken for and against it. A story by Grace Boynton, grad., is said to possess an unusual merit and is based upon Quaker life and times. Humor is furnished in a short story by Miriam Hubbard, '16. Six poems have been selected for publication, while as much editorial comment will be printed gs before, dealing with timely campus events and important student interests. Fourth Health Lecture Tuesday Dr. Mark Marshall Lectures on "Pat- ent Medicines;" Try to Interest Students in Public Health The fourth of a series of lectures under the auspices of the University health service representatives will be given Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the amphitheater of the Medic building by Dr. Mark Marshall, who will speak on the subject, "Patent Medicines." The purpose o these talks is to educate the student body in public health questions and to better con- ditions in which students are forced to live. " At least one representative from each fraternity, sorority, and league house is requested by the health serv- ice to attend these lectures, but they are open to everyone, and it is hoped that a large number will attend them as they are prepared at great pains by the ablest men on the campus. Each representative is requested to communicate with Miss Helen W. Pat- terson, secretary of the organization, on or before Tuesday evening. Publications lMen Stage V all Game Managing Editors and Business Mana- gers form Batteries for Contest The annual baseball game between the 'nrews chasers and advertising "heelers"of The Daily staff and the members of the staff of the Gargoyle will be held May 15 on Ferry Field. Although The Daily team lost last year's game by the score of 6 to 31, sport authorities believe that no trouble will be experienced by the newspaper men in gaining possession of the loving cup put up. last year by the Haller Jewelry Co. According to the custom, the edi- tors of the two publications will pitch and the business managers will catch for their respective teams, while the president of the Michigan Union will umpire. The batteries for the game therefore will be: Daily, McKinney and Leonard; Gargoyle, John. and Ma- guire; Umpire, Gault. Waldemar Alfred Paul John and "Hal" Fitzgerald, the mainstays of the Gargoyle team last year, will again be in the lineup, but are thought to be the only members of that team to be feared, since the recent decimation of the staff by the eligibility commit- tee has left available material com- paratively scarce. The Daily team will be exception- ally strong this year, having, beside the batteries, such well known play- ers as "Rodg" Sylvester, "Put'" Wright, "Bundy" Parker, "Eddie" Mack, and "Jimmie" Schermerhorn, a former member of the Varsity squad.

WERCANS SLAY MANY MIECNS IN HOT SKIRMISH STARVING, SEMII-NUDE BANDITS SEERR EFLTGE IN MOUN- TAIN RECESSES U. S. TROOPS GO UNSCATHED Cavalry Swoops Down on Sleepilg Yillistas, Killing 42; Many Offi- cers Among the Dead Dy George H. Clements, at General Pershing's Headuqarters near Nami- ouipa, May 6, by wireless to Columbu, 1. M., May 6.--Half clad, afoot, with only a few revolvers remaining and with no food, the demoralized rem- rants of what was until yesterday the larger band of Villiatas remaining are seeking sanctuary in the moun- t::ins south of Cusi Huiriachic. At their backs are the picked troops of the 11th Cavalry, under Major Howse, which early yesterday at Ojo Agules, swept over them, killing 42 and wounding many more, taking pris- oners and horses, all without the loss of a single American trooper. The cavalrymen are giving the Villistas no rest, although they have been at it continuously now for two days. The bandits can find no safety in the canyons or in the thick, jnderbrush of the mountains or the .plains. Major Howse and a trooper were at San Antonio, 36 mile",,orh of Ojo Agules, Thursday evening, when word came that Villista forces had attacked the Carranza garrison at that point late in the afternoon. The garrison had held them off until nightfall, when hostilities ceased, according to the Mexican custom. The American troops set out on a 36-mile dash at 88:30 in the evening, over a country bad enough in the daytime, but positively dangerous at night. It was just daylight, nine hours later, when the Americans located the besiegers of the town bivouacked among the adobe huts on the outskirts and sleeping with their heads wrap- ped in their blankets. It was on the sleeping horde that the troops de- scended at a dead run, the men all yelling. The surprise was almost complete. There was no chance for the Villistas to fight back. They had no time to rush into the adobe houses and start sniping. Only those who had heard the alarm given by a herder got away, but they had to go on foot. The few who had weapons made a show of fight after they had escaped from the ring of death, but the cavalrymen were after them in a little while, and they took to flight. After two hours of fighting the overjoyed Carranzistas ventured from the town. They picked up 42 dead bandits and must have found many wounded. Among the dead were Antonio Angeles, a cousin of Villa's former chief of artilery, and other officers. The news of the battle was received at General Pershing's headquarters with evidence of joy. The enlisted men speak of it now as the first re- venge for the death of the Americans in the battle of Temechic, April 22, with the same band. Receive Reply from Carranza El Paso, May 6.-Announcement was made in Juarez tonight that the long expected reply had been received from General Carranza at Mexico City, re- garding the tentative agreement drawn up and signed by General Scott and General Obregon, and it was stated on General Obregon's car that the re- ply of the first chief was considered satisfactory. In a few minor details the first chief is said to have differed with his minis- ti of war, but that in the main the agreement was satisfactory to the Car- (Continued on Page Six). Campus Societies Get Union Rooms building Committee Desires Organiza- Lions to Send in Applications at Once All campus societies will have the privilge of obtaining rooms in the new Union building, which is to be erected as soon as the million dollar mark has been reached. Applications for rooms should be sent to the build- ing conmittee as soon as possible, so that definite arrangements can be made.1 This new plan will bring all the campus societies in the same building, thus carrying out the policy of the Union in making the structui the home of Michigan institutions and all Michigan men. No definite statement as to the pres- ent amount of the Union budget can be made, since many of the campaign committees which conducted special canvasses last month have not yet turned in their reports. A chart showing the relative standing of the alumni centers and their contribu- oions 'ill be made within a few days.'

C4ONSIDERIN GERJIMAN NOTE ON IUSITANIA ANNIVERSARY One year ago today the Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine and on the anniversary of the catas- trophe it is expected that adecision on Germany's note will be made. With the sinking of the Lusitania nearly 1,200 lives were lost, including, more than 100 American citizens. This,' followed by attacks on other unarmed vessels carrying Americans, has led to the present crisis.

GERMAN GOOD FAITH ON TRIAL Repor That Four Steamers 1lai W-en Altacked Creates nfavoralie Impression at White ilouse Washington, May 6.-President Wil- son has decided to accept Germany's reply as a compliance with his demand that illegal methods of submarine war- fare be abandoned. The danger of a diplomatic break is authoritatively de- scribed as passed for the present. The official text of the German note wyts de-coded and laid before the President today. It differs in no es- sential particulars from the text which .rached here yesterday. It will be considered at Tuesday's cabinet meet- in;, and it is probable that Secretary of State Lansing will soon begin work on a brief reply. The President and his official ad- visers take the view that Germany's new orders to submarine commanders meet his demand that =the imperial government declare an abandonment of illegal submarine warfare. The President's demand that Germany was to effect the abandonment is some- thing that only the future can fore- tell. Germany's good faith in carry- ing out tihe new order is to a certain extent placed on trial, and the United States will judge results. President Decided Yesterday The President practically had made up his mind not to reject the German reply as soon as he read the unoffi- cial text yesterday, It would, how- ever, be a mistake to assume that the President is pleased with the status of the submarine issue or to feel that the German reply has really settled the submarine controversy, but he is going to take the German promise at its face value and trust that the sub- marine menace to noncombatants will actually be eliminated. Four Submarines Attack The President was disagreeably sur- prised today to receive official news of the attack by submarines on four steamers. American - Consul-General Skinner reported this from London, and the State department forthwith sent the message to the White House. According to this report the French schooner Benadt was sunk by subma- rine 150 miles from land. Eight of the crew have been picked up by boats. Twenty-six are still adrift and their fate is unknown, Americans on Board? There are no advices as to whether any Americans were on board. The British steamer Raubon was also sunk by a submarine. All details are lacking, even the place where the attack occurred. The British steamer Clan McFadden was damaged by a sub- marine in the Bay of Biscay, and the Norwegian ship Mars was set on fire by a submarine May 2. It was stated emphatically at the State department this afternoon that the United States would not consider Germany's declaration effective until time has been granted for orders to be issued to all submarine command- ers. The United States insists that the orders must be effective now. Con- sequently an unfavorable impression has been made by Mr.. Skinner'N re- l ort, although offieials suspend judg- ment until the facts are learned. It is probable the investigation will be begun as usual. Tne President, how- ever, is not pleased at the outlook of having to investigate further sub- marine attacks which appear to be illegal before he has even had time to stuay the German pledge to climinate them.
