"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. . WILSON DEMANDS SURRENDER OF HUN President Submits Plea for Armistice To Allies and Informs Germany of His Opinion s WORLD DESIRES NO TROUBLE WITH GERMANY IN FUTURE Virtual Laying Down of Arms Is Price of Punishment by Combined Liberty Armies (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." (By the Associated Press) 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.

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.

ADPTNE W 0PMETHODFOR' DISTRIBUTING BLNKS INDUCTION PAPERS TO BE HAN- DLED DIRECTLY THROUGH S. A. T. C. HEADQUARTERS Lieut. Guy N. Crawford, who has succeeded Lieut. Richard W. Leche as personnel offcer, took the remaining iidtidirbilanks, including the last allotment received; to the S. A. T. C. headquarters yesterday and distribut- ed most of them to the company com- mander. Hereafter, the papers will be taken directly to Lieutenant Crawford or to the registrar's office. They will then be delivered through him to the com- pany commanders. This method is ex- pected to prove a more rapid and ex- pedient one than that of having the men themselves deliver the papers personally to the company officer. The following list contains the names of men whose induction papers arrived yesterday: Behnhisel, Donald M.; Bott, Law- rence G.; Brown, Arthur A.; Comma- ger, Roger W.; Fast, Ralph B.; Freel, Frank R.; Kohn, Herbert; Lamp- shire, Weldon A.; Latten, Harold P.; Leonerd, Richard H.; Miller, Edwin C.; Miller, J.

NAVAL UNIT DOUBLES LIBERTYBOND QUOTAI 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.

Storrer, '20, wb succumbed a few days ago to spina meningitis at Port Adams, Rhode Is land, where he had been in militar service with the field artillery. Storrer was formerly 'a member a the business staff of the Michiga Daily. 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- ton, and L. N. Merril. These papers should be called for at once. Hollanders Cheer Old Neighbors Two hours after the retreating Ger- mans had removed the electrified bar- rier between Belgium and Holland, the Belgian flag was raised.
