"The Knockout "Is
Inlander' Feature
Not to be outlone by the Gargoyle,
the Inlander has incorporated an an-
tographed photograph of Major Ralph
H. Durkee in its issue which appears
upon the campus today. " Every army
man will want a copy of this picture,"
declares the editorial staff.
The story, "The Knockout," by John
E. McManis, '21, of Co. 15, is of a new
type for the, campus literary publi-
cation, reminding the reader of 0.
Henry. Mr. Julio del Toro, who has
made a particular study of the con-
ditions in south and central America,
has prepared an article on Latin
America and its relation to the world
war..
Those fond of poetry will find some-
thing to their tastes in two bits of
verse by Mr. M. C. Wier of the rhetoric
department, and H. L. Conrad. Prep-1
arations are already being made for
the Christmas number of the In-
lander and a special appeal Is being
made to S. A. T. C. men to contribute
things containing the atmosphere of
the barracks. All copy for this num-
ber must be in by Nov. 15.

STUDENT COUNCIL TO MEET
TO DISCUSS CLASS ELECTIONS

FLU DECREASES; BAN
NOT YET LIFTED
Although the ban has not been lift-
ed yet, the influenza epidemic is rap-
idly lessening. But six new cases and
one death have been reported within
24 hours and only one new case of
pneumonia.
A report was circulated throughout
the city that the state quarantine
would soon be removed but telegraph-
ic advice from Lansing to the city.
health officer denied this. The tele-
gram :received by Doctor Wessinger
read, "Closing ban not yet lifted." The
doctor said that he hoped that no one
would try to open before an order per-
mitting such an action had been is-
sued for such a violation of the order
would necessitate the prosecution of
the guilty party.
The rumor that the -ban was lifted
today was branded as false and an-
other that public places would be
opened before Saturday noon could
not be substantiated.

UNITED WAR WORK
STARTS CAMPAIGN
At a meeting of representatives of
non-military men at Lane hall yes-
terday Milner Ballard, '20H, was elect-
ed chairman and plans were discussed
for the united war work campaign to
reach the men not in the barracks.
The other members of the committee
are William H. Dorrance, '19E; Robert
McCandless, '22M; Charles R. Osius,
Jr., '20; Abraham Elkind, '20E; and
Oscar P. Lambert, '18L. Booths will
probably be placed and those men!
whose addresses are in the hands of
the committee, will be canvassed at
the end of the two day voluntary cam-
paign if the quota is not reached.

LINE
(By the Associated Press)
The German armies in Belgium: and
France are being defeated. Nowhere
are they able to stay the. attacks of the
Allied forces. Ground is being' given
over wide areas in Belgium, and in
France from the Belgian border to the
east of the Meuse river.
Hun Reels Under Allied Blows
The British and Belgians in Flan-
ders have dug deeply into enemy-held
territory and the enemy is reeling un-
der the assaults. From Valenciennes
to the Aisne river the British and
French are driving the enemy, in what
seems utter disorder, toward his bor-
der. Greater, perhaps, than all the
other strokes, is that of the Ameri-
cans and French in the Meuse river
region, north and northwest- =of Ver-
dun, where fast strides are being made
northward over a wide fr.ont, threaten-
ing to cut off the enemy's retreat and
bring about a defeat of the Germans
on the battlefield.
From Belgium to the Meuse the
Germans are in jeopardy. Especially
critical is the situation for.them in
the great sack from Belgium to the
north of Rheims, for, with the advance
of the Americans and the French
northward, and with the important
lines of communication under fire, it

MEMBERS OF BRITISH MISSION
TO BE ENTERTAINED BY
FACULTY
The British educational mission
which was to have attended the con-
vocation exercises of the University
will arrive in Ann Arbor this after-
noon. The convocation has been post-
poned on account of the ban on all
public meetings but the members of
the mission will be entertained by
various members of the University
faculty.
Honorary degrees will be conferred
at the meeting of the mission and the
faculties, which will take place at 4
o'clock this afternoon in Alumni Mem-
orial hall. Besides the conferring of
degrees it is probable that an inform-
al reception will take place as the
wives of faculty members have been
asked to attend. None but the mem-
bers of the mission and the faculty
members and their wives will be al-
lowed to be present.
In order that it be possible for all
members of the different faculties to
be at the gathering all regular Uni-
versity work will be suspended at
3:30 o'clock.
The students in the army and naval
units will be in formation to honor
the mission. The military band has-
been asked to play and probably there
will be a parade of the student com-
panies.
The' convocation exercises which
were planned for today have been
postponed indefinitely and will possi-
bly take place on the day that the
French mission pays the University
a visit, if the ban on meetings has
been removed.
During their stay in Ann Arbor the
members of the mission will be the
guests of members of the faculty who
have extended the hospitality of their
residences to them.
SHIFTING LIGHT PROVES TO BE
SIGNAL CORPS SEARCHLIGHT
Quite a bit of interest was aroused
last night by suddenly shifting lights
coming apparently from nowhere.
Were the military authorities search-
ing the 'skys for Boche planes? No,
it was simply the embryo signal corps
men practicing with a new search-
light which had been erected during
the day on the tower of the Michigan
Union building.

War Ilulletins
(By the Associated Press)
London, Nov. 5.-The British arm-
les in the sector between the
Sombre and the Scheldt rivers
have defeated, in a battle which
began Monday, 25 German divis-
ions, Field Marshal Haig reports
from headquarters tonight. In
addition to capturing many vil-
lages today, the British have pass-
the great Mormal forest.
(In the battle of Verdun only
20 1-2 divisions were used by
the Germans.)
With the Amerian armies in
the Meuse secton, Nov. 5.-(11
P. M.)-The American forces have
captured Liny-Dezant-Dun and
Milly-Dezan-Dun, east of the
Meuse river. They are also oc-
cupying the hills on the east bank
of the river despite a stiff ma-
chine gun resistance by the Ger-
mans. In their advance today the
Americans reached points 'within
five miles of one of Germany's
main lines of communication be-
tween Metz, Mezieres, Hirson, and
points north.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Troops of
the American first army, which
today forced a crossing to the east
bank of the Meuse at Brieulls
and Cloary-le-Petit, are develop-
Ing a new line on the heights be-
tween those places, General Per-
shing reports in his communique.
The west banks of the river, as
liar north as Poully, Is now in
American hands.
Pride Goeth - It
WasA Bad hump
He was an acting sergeant in the
S. A. T. C. and "acting" is right.
Yesterday he took his men down to
Ferry field to rehearse there the an-
tics and ethics of war. They "left ob-
liqued" and "inclined to the _right"
in true form all the way down State.
By the time the platoon was safely
within the brick walls, the sergeant
was so proud of it and of himself that
he could scarcely see over his chest.
There chanced to be several godlings,
otherwise known as superior officers,
on the field and they were no less
observing than most s. o.'s. The
sergeant has his braves "right front
into line," "on left into line," "right
by squads" and other fawncy chorus
capers. Everything went well, unitl-a
girl sauntered through the gates. She
was a sweet girl and she wandered
in nonchalantly with some gob on
shore leave and she apparently had
no desire to be disturbing. But it
chanced that she was one of the only
girls the sergeant ever loved. At this
juncture the first rank of the platoon
was an approximate foot from the
east wall.
Did the sergeant say "To the rear,
march," or "By the right flank,
march," or some other neat and kippy
command?
He did not. As the wall advanced
to meet his men, in a final effort to
divert disaster, he piped, "Hey, stop
and turn around, will you?"
In the next formation, the one-time
acting sergeant was number 3, rear
ranks.
Residence Damaged Slightly By Fire
A fire slightly damaged the roof
of Leo Santule's residence at 424 Hill
street at 6 o'clock last night. The
fire was started by sparks from the
chimney. When the fire department
arrived it had not gained much head-

way and was speedily extinguished.

ecretary Lansing's note gives the
of what has been going on in the
nentous conferences at Paris be-
en Colonel House and the Allied
niers. It quotes a "memorandum

ts, on the President's correspond-
3 with German authorities, dis-
ing the approval of the President's

his last requirement, in which

was held yesterday afternoon, only
four members being present. It was
found that nine members are in school
and a meeting is to be held at 4:45
o'clock Friday afternoon in the old
Michigan Union building. At the
meeting Friday arrangements will be
made for holding class elections and
other business of the student coun-
cil will be discussed.
NAVAL UNIT IN UNIFORM FOR
BRITISH MISSION PARADE
Most of the men in the naval unit
will be in uniform today in the par-
ade held in honor of the British edu-
cational mission because of the fact
150 additional uniforms have been is-
sued during the past two days.
Engineering Classes May Be Changed
Although it has been rumored that
a few changes would be made in some
of the classes in the engineering col-
lege during the coming week, such
changes will probably not go into ef-
fect until a week from the coming
Monday. Then certain changes in
classification may be made in order
to fit in better with the military or-
ganization.

them are destined to be cut off and
forced to surrender.
Likewise the crossing of the Meuse
river by the Americans places in per-
il the large enemy forces in Lorraine
south of Metz. There are indications
that operations, with a view to over-
whelming the enemy in this region,
are in the making. The German ofi-
cial communication Tuesday announc-
ed that the Americans had made "par-
tial thrusts" west of the Moselle river,
which runs through Metz.
Allies Capture Many Towns
Large numbers of towns have been
reclaimed by the Allied troops
throughout the 'entire fighting zone.
Many thousands of Germans have been
made prisoners, and large quantities
of guns and stores have been captur-
ed. In addition the enemy has suf-
fered large losses in men killed or
wounded.
Judging the situation from the mil-
itary map the crisis on the battle
field is at hand. The Germans have
come to the realization that the Foch
military machine is the master of the
German machine. Therefore they are
giving ground every-where before it-
seeking their border line in order to
prevent being crushed.

THE DAILY LEADS

The exclusive Associated
Press wire The Michigan
Daily handling election returns

bor last night. By means of
stereopticon bulletins at The

nouncements at the County

the citizens of Ann Arbor of the

districts.
The Daily was the first paperj
in Washtenaw county to report
