PRICE THREE VARY COUNCIL VOF ARMISTICE D TERMS PRESIDENT'S PLY "STRONGEST IN MODERN TIMES" CLAIMS 14 PEACE S FAVOR GERMANY Q. MX'S TAKE CARE OF ORDNANCE WORK Lieutenant Stotter, quartermaster officer of -the S. A. T. C. unit, an- nounced yesterday that the ordnance work necessitated by the arrival of rifles and bayonets will be handled by the quartermaster's department of the S. A. T. C. The quota of rifles has arrived and also many bayonets of the regular field service type. Most of the rifles are the modified Enfield type such as is used in France, and the remainder are Krags and Russian infantry rifles. Four of the modern Browning-Colt machine guns have arrived and 16 Browning-Colt automatic rifles, a type of light machine gun. As there are many gun-smiths among the me- chanics, instruction in the use and care of the machine guns will prob- ably be given 'to section B first, but it is intended that eventually the men of both sections will have a thorough understanding of the guns. LIST OF MICHIGAN MEN IN SERVI E REUESTED Premiers Declare s Own Sentiments Question Answer Re- on Peace (By the Associated Press)y ?aris, Oct. 24.-The official com- nt to the Associated Press on Pres- nt Wilson's reply to Germany can summarized as follows: President Wilson's latest answer olves the whole thing into a mil- ry question, which can be decided Foch, Haig, and Pershing." Condon, Oct. 24.-The popular com- nt on the President's note here is t it contains the strongest lang- Ke ever addressed by the head of e great nation to another in mod- times. The note is welcomed, t, because it .brings matters to a w'state; further proceedings,if there to be further proceedings, will be the hands of all the governments erested. Hitherto, so far as the pub- knows, the nations associated with United States, and which have re at stake, perhaps, than has the I States, have been onlookers in' correspondence. Note Ends German Notes Phe note is welcomed, secondly, be- ise it promises to bring the season discussion to an end altogether, eway or an" other. No one sees how German chancellor can fail to ac- p PresIdent Wilson's platform or eat it. Acceptance will be taken mean that he Germans regard their ition as hopeless and that disact- is eminent. t'he general opinion is that Ger- ny's military position is not so bad, t that her leaders will fight on, if ly with the hope of creating divis- s among the Allies, which has been rmany's reliance of late. Oyster Bay, Oct. 24. - Theodore >sevelt sent duplicate telegrams ight to United Sattes senators Ige, Poindexter, and Johnson in Ich he characterized as "thoroug' - mischievous" the 14 principles en- eated by President Wilson if they to be made the basis of peace. e telegrams follow in part: Text of Telegrams As an Anerican c'tizen I most nestly hope that the senate of the Ited States, which is part of the aty making power of the United tes, will take affirmative action inst a negotiated peace with Ger- ny and in favor of a peace based the unconditional surrender of many. The language of the 14 points, and subsequent statements explaining qualifying them, is neither straig ht- ward nor plain, but if construed in ir probable sense many, and possi- most of these 14 points, are thor- hly mischievous, and if made the us of a peace, such a peace would resent not the unconditional sur- lder of Germany, but the condition- surrender of the United States. urally they are entirely satisfac- y to Germany, and, naturally, tally satisfactory in this country to ry pro-German, pacifist, Socialist, i-American and so-called interna- nalist." Washington, Oct. 24. - Germany's a for an armistice and peace now before the Allied governments. In ious public utterances, the pre- rs and other leaders of the En- te powers have repeatedly declar- that President Wilson's statements his address of last January 8, and sequent addresses, reflect their n views. upreme War Council to Decide omething more official and bind- is declared now, although it is arded here as a foregone conclu- 1 that this approval will be reg- red, and that the offices of the su- me war council will be invoked PRESIDENT HUTCHINS ASKS DENTS TO HELP IN WORK STU-I Prof. Charles B. Vibbert, director of the Michigan bureau of the Amer- ican University Union in Europe, has requested that the authorities of the University furnish him at the earliest possible date, a list of University of Michigan men in service. In order to aid Professor Vibbert in his great work, President Harry B. Hutchins desires that students file at the Alum- nus office the names of Michigan men whom they know to be in the service abroad, giving in each instance; first, the name and home address; second, the fraternity or club affiliation; third, the name of nearest relative with address; fourth, the rank and service of the person; fifth, the par- ticular unit to which he is now at- tached and, if known, the number of his military postoffice; sixth, and hon- ors conferred or accidents reported. Any other information that may be of interest should be included. If in doubt as to the form in which the in- formation should be given, students may consult the assistant editor of the Alumnus in Alumni Memorial hall. The following is a quotation from the recent letter received at the office of the Alumnus from Professor Vib- bert: "You and your office could really do nothing which would be more valuable to our Mich- igan men in service, than by furnishing us with such a list" (referring to the list above sug- gested). "The men are desperately anx- ious to get in touch with one an- other. The feeling of loneliness and isolation of many of them, scattered as they are among groups of men whom they have never before known, and receiv- ing mail from home in a very desolatory fashion, is extreme. If only they could get hold of the military mailing addresses of their friends who are in Europe, they might at least correspond with one another and thus occasional- ly make arrangements to meet old friends. Homesickness, a most serious malady in all armies, has as yet fortunately not hit our men very hard, but with the long. wint- er before them with its inactivity plus rain, mud, snow, and cold, this epidemic may at any time declare itself. Against such there is only one sure remedy known- letters from home and friends, and the- occasional getting togeth- er with comrades of other and better times." President Hutchins expects a gener- al and immediate compliance with this important request. CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS All information for the Stu- dents' Dir ectory must be mailed to the editor, Press building, before Saturday. Office hours of the Directory are 10:45 to 11:45 o'clock and 2:45 to 5 o'clock. FEARLETDO N I FLUPRECUTIONS PUBLIC WARNED THAT CASES WILL INCREASE UNLESS EFFORTS CONTINUE DIVISION INSPECTOR PRAISES SANITARY CONDITIONS HERE Week-End Passes May Be Given; Many Convaleseents at Univer- sity Hospital Yesterday was the best day exper- ienced so far by the medical author- ities in combatting the epidemic, ac- cording to the report late last night. Only one death occurred in the ranks of the S. A. T. C. during the day, that of Sergt. W. H. Graham, section B., Co. 3, who succumbed to pneumonia. Lieutenant-Colonel Miller of Chica- go, sanitary inspector of the central division, was in town yesterday and made a thorough inspection of the hospitals, infirmaries, and barracks. In a conversation with one of the members of the medical department, he expressed himself as being greatly gratified with the conditions here, adding that they were excellent as compared With those elsewhere. May Get Week-End Passes Five men w.ere taken to the hos- pitals with pneumonia and 23 were removed from hospitals to the various convalescent infirmaries. There is a chance that passes will be issued to some 'of the men who have nearly recovered from the effects of the dis- ease so that they may spend the com- ing week-end at their homes. Some of the men who were quartered in the old Union building have been found to have recovered to such an extent that they were allowed to return to their respective companies for light work. - .. "The people of Ann Arbor," says Sergeant-major Fischer, "must not let up in taking precautions merely be- cause there are fewer new cases. Con- ditions will not get back to where they were unless people continue to be careful. Facilities are being strengthened for combatting the dis- ease. The cots of all men who are still sick are enclosed in cubicles as fast as these can be made. One hund- red were made last week and more are being ordered." Give Wards to Flu Patients There are no operations being per- formed at the University hospital un- less they are of the type classed as emergencies. All of the facilities of the hospital have been placed at the disposal of Captain Vaughan. So far, the dermatology ward, the three floors of the otology ward, the first floor of the children's ward, the contagious hospital, and the women's surgical ward have been transformed into in- fluenza wards, and as fast the patients of the other departments are well enough to permit their being dis- charged, these wards are also being made ready for influenza patients. Most of the above wards which are now occupied by flu patients are fill- ed to capacity but many of the pati- ents are awaiting the end of the rout- ine time that their temperature re- mains normal b fore they can be n o de to Ihe inflrn~aries Oti er hospitals are doin. like vise. The death of Miss Deta Kauffman, '13, at Ames Agricultural college, Iowa, was reported today. Miss Kauff- man was instructing in English aid oratory at that college and contract- ed the disease there. Miss Anna Sanders, a student nurse at the Uni- versity hospital died of pneumonia at the contagious hospital Wednesday night. Dr. W. E. Forsythe, of the Univer- sity health service, reports only one new case among civilian students, al- though five who had been previously stricken were taken to hospitals. POWER PLANT COAL PILE BURNS; FORMS QUANTITIES OF GAS The immense coal pile at the power plant of the University has been on fire for several days. The fire start- ed by spontaneous combustion and although it is not out yet the men in charge have been fighting it continu- ously and seem to have it confined to a certain area. Not much of the coal will be lost and the inconvenience of the coal gas to those living in the neighborhood will soon be eliminated. NEW 0. T. C. OPENED AT CAMP FREMONT Captain RalphtH. Durkee announc- ed Wednesday that a new infantry officers' training school is to be open- ed Dec. 1 at Camp Fremont, Cal. This school will be oen to all draft registrants between the ages of 18 and 46, except those in Class 1 who registered prior to Sept. 12. ApplI- cants must have a high school educa- tion, or an equivalent course of in- struction. Physical requirements are Identical with those of general mili- tary service. The need for officers is so great that only a two-months' course of in- tensive training will be given. Michi- gan's quota will be 572 men. Civilians desiring to submit applications must do so before Nov, 1. Further informa- tion and applieation blanks can be obtained fro S. A. T. C. headquar- ters. DR, 1, 6.

Lieutenant Leisch has acted as personnel adjutant of regimental headquarters on Captain Durkee's staff. Lieutenant Crawford, former commander of the third bat- talion, succeeds Lieutenant Leisch. TEUTONS FLOOD BELGIUM LOW LANDS IN ATTEMPT TO DELAY ALLIED RUSH BRITISH PUSH ON TOWARD MAUBEU Hun Newspaper Slips iyCensor "Private's Number," the October is- sue of the Gargoyle, will be published tomorrow. This number will be unique in that it is the first real military number, and also because it is the first to be edited by a member of the faculty. Mr. Edward S. Ever- ett, instructor in rhetoric, worked on the Gargoyle when he was an under- graduate in the University and now holds the position of editor-in-chief. He has contributed much to the Gar- goyle during the past six years in the way of drawings and editorials. The S. A. T. C. is to co-operate in the sale of the magazine. Sergeant- major Fischer has detailed men to sell copies to the S. A. T. C. men at the noon hour, and a certain percentage of the proceeds from every copy sold will go to the S. A. T. C. funds. A special feature is a German news- paper. It is supposed that Chairman George Creel, of the committee on public information, will be subjected to the severest attacks from the press and congress for not having foreseen that the Gargoyle would print this {material. The number is full of quips about the S. A. T. C. The privates of course receive most attention, but the officers cannot be kept out of the Gargoyle any more than they can be kept out of a German. trench. The poets have been as busy as usual, and the Gar- goyle contains a number of gems of thought. One poet has described in words that the world will not willing- ly let die the fascination that a sold- ier exerts over a modest maiden. An- other poet has written a poem about the President's trousers. Not perhaps the best subject in the world for a poem, but if Mr. Wilson does not ob- Ject it must be all right. The Gargoyle staff wants both ar- tists and writers. The war has taken so many of the men, that there is more opportunity than usual for new men to find a place. Men of the S. A. T. C., who can write of humorous happenings of barrack life from the inside, will find a particularly warm welcome. MEDICS NOT PAID FOR FIGHTING FLU There have been many reports around the campus to the effect that the senior medics are being paid $100 a month and $4 a day 'expenses for the work that they are doing in the present epidemic. The seniors are not being paid a cent for their work, which is entirely voluntary, nor are there any in any other town doing health service work. They are all here at school with the exception of about 25 men who are assigned week- ly by Major Wile to report to Cap- tain Vaughan for duty In the different infirmaries. These men are changed every week and their work is so arranged that they may attend their afternoon clin- ics and most of their morning work. Twice a day when the doctors in charge of the infirmaries make their rounds the medics who are in the re- spective houses make the rounds like an interne in a hospital and. call spe- lcal attention to the men who are in the worst condition. This expedites the work of the physicians and allows them to attend to many more cases than they could otherwise do. - The doctors who have been in charge have the highest praise for the men who have been helping them. The medics are not given any author- ity to administer drugs except in the case of an emergency so that another rumor to the effect that the medics are practicing on the men can be dis- counted at the fame time. There are usually two men in each infirmary at all times and they work on 12-hour ishifts.
