STIUDENTS URGED TO
WEAR THEIR MASKS
'The students should stand behind
President Hutchins in his request that
they wear their influenza masks in
classes and on the campus, if they
would stop the spread of the disease,"
said Dr. Forsythe yesterday. "The
only Way that it can be carried is by
coughing and sneezing and the mask
is the most practical way to prevent
the discharges from harming one's
neighbor. The faculty has supported
the measure well by wearing their
masks and by keeping the class-rooms
supplied with fresh air.'
In regard to the feasibility of clos-
ing school Dr. Forsythe said, "It would
be perfectly absurd to close school.
The students would seize the oppor-
tunity to go to their homes, -thus
spreading the disease if it is already
in their systems or runing into the
danger of contracting it on crowded
trains or in their home towns. On
the other hand, if school were closed
and the students were forced to re-
main in Ann Arbor, .they would spend
their time in each other's rooms in
small crowds or wander the streets,
which is worse than staying in well-
ventilated class-rooms with their
masks on."
The crisis of the epidemic has pass-
ed, Dr. Forsythe believes. Only three
cases among non-S. A. T. C. students.
have developed in the last three days.
le attributes this improvement to
the wearing of gauze masks. .

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 23. - President
Wilson has submitted the German plea
for an armistice and peace to the Al-
lies, and at the same time has inform-
ed Berlin that there can be no armis-
tice except upon terms that would
made it impossible for Germany to
renew hostilities.
While consenting to deal further
with the present authorities in Ger-
many, the President has given them
this warning.
"It (the United States) must deal
with the military masters and mon-
archial autocrats of Germany now, or,
if it is likely to have to deal with them
later, in regard to the internationalr
obligations of the German empire, itf
must demand, notpeace negotiations,
but surrender. Nothing can be gain-
ed by leaving this essential thing un-
said."

Special to the Michigan Daily.
' Washington, Oct. 23. - President
Wilson has informed the German gov-
ernment that he has transmitted to the
Allies its correspondence with him
seeking an armistice and peace.
The President also sent the sugges-
tion that if the Central Powers are
disposed to effect peace upon terms
and principles already indicated, their
military advisors and the military ad-
visors of the United States should be
asked to submit the necessary terms
of such an armistice as will fully pro-
tect the interests of the peoples in-
volved.

Lansing, Oct. 23.-There are now
about 50,000 cases of Spanish influen-
za in the state, health officials an-
nounced tonight. During the 24 hours
ending at noon today, 4,644 new cases
and 134 deaths were reported. Dis-
tribution of Red Cross nurses, to sec-
tions of the state in need of them, was
begun today by Dr. J. A. Evans, of

Wilson Demands Surrender
The President's reply to the last
German note was handed to. the
charge of the Swiss legation tonight
for transmission to the German gov-
ernment. It accedes to the request
that he take up with the Allies the
proposals of the- new spoke3smen of
the German people, but does it with
notice that virtual surrender of the
Teutonic armies in the field will be
the price demanded for interruption
of the beating now being administer-
sed.
In transmitting the matter to the
Ailie9,, the President says he has sug-
gested that if they are disposed to ef-
fect peace on his terms and principles
now accepted by the present German
authorities, the American and Allied
military point of view, to submit such
terms as will fully protect the inter-
ests of the people involved, and to in-
sure to the associated governments
the unrestricted power to enforce
peace on the conditions accepted.
s _ Boche to Observe War Rules
The President says he feels he can-
not decline to take up the question of
an armistice, having received solemn
and explicit assurances of the German
government that it accepts the terms
of peace enunciated by him; that the
comes from ministers speaking for an
desire to discuss their application
comes from ministers speaking for an
overwhelming majority of the Ger-
man people, and that the German
armed forces will observe the humane
rules of civilized warfare on land and
sea. He ignores entirely the German
protests and denials in response to his
statement that an armistice could not
be considered while the German army
and navy continue their atrocities.
At the same time that the President's
reply to Germany was made public
the White House gave out correspond-
ence between Secretary Baker and
President Wilson showing that more
than 2,000,000 American soldiers have
embarked to participate in the war
overseas.
NAVAL UNIFORMS
TO APPEAR SOON
More than 300 sophomores met in
University hall at 4:30 o'clock last
evening to discuss ways and means
of curtailing the remarkably charact-
eristic actions of the undisturbed
class of green freshmen, which enroll-
ed in the University this fall. The
performances of the verdant yearlings
through the several weeks since the
opening of the University have made
necessary some sort of drastic meas-
ures, to stop the pulling apart of all
traditions and customs, which have
helped largely to develop Michigan
into the great school, which it now is,
and has been for the past few decades,
the best of all state institutions.
Considering the scarcity of mem-
bers of the class of 1921, the large
turnout showed that the second year
men were alive to their responsibility.
Abe Cohn, Varsity football halfback,
and William Fortune, Varsity guard,
made the first addresses of the after-
noon. They were short but to the
point. That the freshmen had to be
taken in hand was the subject of their
respective talks.
Following the football men, Her-
man August, Varsity debater, and one
of the foremost orators on the Cam-
pus for the past two years, took the
platform amidst an uproar. Upon the
quieting of the sophomores he began
and related example after example of
freshman impuity being practiced on
the .campus every day. He claimed,
and rightly, that not one-fifth of the
first year men are wearing the tra-
ditional pots, which signify their class
and, is paramount for their other,
training. Unless a freshman is1
ashamed of his class he will not re-
fuse to buy a little grey cap, on his,
own accord, without compulsion.-
August added, "They are to be com-
pared with the kaiser, as their favorite
expression, according to their actions,
is 'Me und Gott'." He also claimed1
that if the women of the campus de-
sire to be on a 50-50 basis with the
men in campus activities, their fresh-1
man girls should be attended to.
Two S. A. T. C. men and two Ann
Arbor residents numbered among
those in the death toll of the influenza
epidemic yesterday. This is a small-
er number than has been reported,
however, for 10 days past. Last week
there were from six to 10 deaths per
day.
Only three S. A. T. C. men were
sent to the -hospital yesterday; 22
new cases were reported to J. A. Wes-
singer, city heatlh officer.
The S. A. T. C. men who succumb-
ed were Harold Beiswenger, of Jack-
son, and C. J. Underwood, of Tecum-
seh. Both men had contracted pneu-
monia after the initial symptoms 'of
the influenza manifested themselves.
Underwood received word but two
weeks ago that his brother with the
A. E. F. had been killed in action.
In the infirmary in, Barbour gym-
nasium are 165 men from section B.
All are doing nicely. The hospitals are
still crowded, the Homeopathic hos-
pital alone having 40 of the cases.
Two army trucks were sent to De-
troit recently to bring back a supply
of oxygen tanks. When the disease is
at its crisis and the patient is suffer-
ing greatly through labored breathing,
oxygen is given him, which heightens
his vitality and resistance until the
crisis has passed.
INFLUENZA. EPIDEMIC DUE i
TO ATTACKS OF HYSTERIA
Detroit, Oct. 23.-Dr. John 0. Gas-
ton writes to the editor of the Free
Press and says in part:
"I have been through several severe
'grippe' epidemics and have found
that the great spread of any disease
is due more to fear than to the actual
disease itself. The real cause of the
spread of the Spanish influenza
throughout the camps and country is
due alomst entirely to hysteria, and
to the weakened condition of the peo-
ple caused by the terrible strain of
excessive work and the abnormal
times..
' "Now, let's come down to earth; al-,
low reasonable amount of amusements
and church-going to engage the minds;
of the people."

Hun Reluctantly Gives Up
Officers fMiighlt
Hazers' Ceremoncy
Military officers last night put a
stop to the sophomores' first attempt
this year to haze freshmen. A small
group of sophomores appeared on
State street about 8 o'clock last night
with three members of the class of
'22 in their power. As usual a crowd
collected and the freshmen were forc-
ed to amuse the gathering. The first
lot were put through the usual sing-
ing, dancing, and cheering, and then
were sent home running.
A second group of verdants were
picked up on the street, hazed, and
dismissed. Two more first year men
were then caught and made to sit
upon the sign in front of Slater's.
While their tormenters were making
the two victims cheer their class, an
Ann Arbor policeman burst into the
crowd and ordered the men to climb
down from their perch. The sopho-
mores objected, but finally agreed. The
officer then ordered the hazers off the
street. The leaders argued and con-
sulted among themselves for a time
and finally the crowd dispersed, com-
plaining of the downfall of another
Michigan tradition.

The emasuring of men for uniforms
is progressing with greater rapidity,
than has been expected. Measure-
ments of men in the naval unit are
sent to the Great Lakes naval train-
ing station, where suits are selected
accordingly and sent here. The meas-
urements are mailed daily, and the
"blues" will probably start to arrive
within a few days. All expense over
$1,000 will be incurred by men of the
naval unit here.
There is important mail at naval
headquarters for L. M. Tuttle, C. C.
Patterson, W. Romanoff, 0. A. Adell,
0. F. Ringsworth, 0. A. MacNaugh-
