James Taylor, veteran of the rar, and now doing Y. M. C. A. in the British army, spoke to sembly, inspiring them with portance of the work the seven ations are doing abroad and on le, and impressing the fact that hostilities were to end tomor- us drive for funds would be all re necessary as a means of af- the soldiers and sailors amuse- nd constructive activity in their hours. He urged against the te let-down of community in- in the men if the war were to suddenly. "The best way to ur sympathy is with our dol- Blam! Another Michigan tradition has gone by the boards! For those who cannot hark back that far, the fact is that the new Union was never to have the light footsteps of milady pass over the threshold. The air was never to be changed from the aroma of bygone smokes to the faint fragrance of Dfer Kiss. The old bar of the Orient which was placed there for a soft drink counter was never to have Georgette crepe elbows grace its polished sur- face. The foot rail which has oft sup- ported a 12EE shoe was never des- tined to support a French heeled 3AAA. Recently-in fact, very recently- this was all shattered when a bevy (that word is enough to shatter the, tradition alone) of co-eds invaded the new building and explored the place to their girlish hearts' content. The bar was an object of especial interest and hard cider was dispensed to quench the feminine thirst. Then the exploration began. They may remember the details o: the building long enough to whisper it in awe to their friends when they gather to gos-pardon-discuss the place of masculine recreation. The collitch may not be what it once was in a few years. Men may be grouped in dorms, have 10 o'clock hours, and all sich. Thus has the kai- ser wrought havoc at Ann Arbor. INFLUENZA TOTAL 117; 59 MEN IN SERVICE DiE EPIDEMIC PRACTICALLY OVER;' ONLY FOUR CASES REPORTED QUESTIONS BOTHER- INQUIRIES SHOULD BE TAKEN TO HOSTESS HOUSE IN MEMORIAL HALL Owing to the number of unnecessary questions which have been asked at personnel headquarters concerning the S. A. T. C. men, the following an- nouncement has been given out: "It has become necessary to bring before the campus in general and those desirous of personal information about S. A. T. C. in particular, that the pur- pose of the Hostess House is to an- swer questions about S. A. T. C. nien concerning their location or health. "The personnel. office at S. A. T. C. headquarters deals withathe clerical work pertaining to military matters. It keeps the records of the S. A. T. C. men. To it is entrusted the task of assigniing men to barracks. It sees that the men receive their proper se- rial numbers from their local draft boards. It makes up the pay rolls and takes care of the monthly re- turns. In short, this office is kept ex- tremely busy with the administrative end of the military work at head- quarters, and hence it is unreasonable to require its officials to interrupt their work by answering questions; concerning the location of the vari-j ous men. Long Distance Calls Annoying "The telephone system at headquar- ters is limited and is rushed to the utmost in handling official business. Therefore it is plain that long dis-i tance calls are particularly annoying1 in interrupting the transaction of im- portant business. "The office aims to co-operate with the parents and friends of all-S. A. T. AUSTRIANS SURRENDER UNCNIINLYTO ALIE! ENTENTE CAPTURES 300,000 MEN, 5'1OOO GUNS IN I1 HUN ARISSLOWLY DSNTGAT NWESTERN.

The military band is asked to play during the procession. RETURN FLU MASKS. HEALTH PHYSICIAN U. S.

Fifty-nine of- these deaths were among S. A. T. C. and naval unit men. The remaining 58 occurred among the civilian popu- lation. Influenza as an epidemic is over in this city, is the belief of both city and military health authorities. Only two deaths occurred as a result of influ- enza since last Saturday and but four new cases have been discovered. University Hospital Nurse Dies The two deaths which resulted from influenza since Saturday occur- red early Sunday morning. Mrs. Ber- tha Wagner, of 1202 Packard road, and Miss Alice Spencer, a nurse in the training class of the University hos- pital, are the deceased.. Miss Spencer had been in training at the hospital for over a year. Her home was in Battleboro, Vt. Her mother arrived here in time to see her before her death. No New Cases In S. A. T. C. There have been no deaths and no new cdses in the S. A. T. C. in the past four or five days. Many men are being discharged from the infirmaries every day., Few serious cases of pneumonia still remain and only one convalescent patient has had a relapse since Saturday. , The public schools opened today after an 11 day recess with only three teachers absent: Physicians examined the pupils but found none with any' traces of influenza.

Military Neiessity "When the above facts are known and appreciated, it will. readily be seen that in requesting the public to use the Hostess House at Alumni hall instead of the S. A. T. C. headquarters as a bureau of information, much val- uable time will be saved for all con- cerned. "This is .a military necessity and is not an attempt by S. A. T."

BARRACKS Twenty Bible discussion groups met at the various barracks Sunday morn- ing with a total attendance o more than 600. The largest attendance at any meeting was 88 at Barracks 2. Meetings were held immediately aft- er breakfast and continued for half an hour. The men are studying "The. Soldier's Spirit," by George Stewart. The classes were conducted by mem- bers of the faculty, business men, stu- dent pastors, ministers, and Y. M. C. A. secretaries. It is hoped that the membership may be increased to 1,000 next Sun- day. Attendance is purely voluntary, and membership is confined to the S. A. T. C. and the naval unit. All students are emphatically re- quested to comply with the order asking the face masks to be returned. "It is of the utmost importance that these masks be returned," states the Summary of War Activities.
