Carson Says Students Are Rich This Year Having no Ex- penses Late volunteers will still have a chance to bq included in the Fourth Liberty Loan tomorrow at Newberry hall. It is to be kept open all day for the convenience of those who have been unable to report sooner. This is the students' last chance to wear the honor badge. R. M. Carson, of the publicity com- mittee, says, "The students are rich now. The only expense to which they are subjected is that of books. The government furnishes them every- thing else, even amusements. The stu- dent who starts to save by buying bonds at the beginning of his train- ing course will soon find himself ahead. If he has an investment in the cause for which he is fighting, he will believe all the more in it." An especial appeal is being made to the men of the students' army train- ing corps. Four minute speeches are being made at the S. A. T. C. mess halls, theatres, Chubb's, Freeman's, and at the women's dormitories-Mar- tha Cook and Newberry residences. Those who have been making four minute speeches are Mr. Newton C. Fetter, Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Prof. John R. Brumm, Prof. John C. Parker, Earl Dunn, '19, N. Earl Pin- ney, '16, Herman August, '19, Kelsey Guilfoil, '20L. The down town office sent out 2,000 letters to people yesterday asking them to double their subscription and a great many complied with the request. Mr. Bassett said that he ex- pected a rush business Saturday. Yes- terday the office averaged two sub- scriptions per minute. The office has about 40 people helping to take care of the Loan. It is open from 8:30 o'clock in the morning until 8 at night and averages from 1,000 to 1,500 sub- scriptions daily. The first day was the record breaker; 1,523 people volun- teered. In case today's trade cannot be handled in one day the office will be open Sunday. The county is divided into nine di- visions, which to date have subscrib- ed $1,498,450. The city to date, has subscribed $931,200. Thirty-five stu- dents volunteered for the Loan yester- day. TURKEY TO REMAIN ALLY OF GERMANY (By the Associated Press) Geneva, Oct. 5. - The provisional president of Albafia, and former con- mander-in-chief of the Turkish forc- es at Scutari, in an interview before his departure from Saloniki, declared that Turkey would hold out to the last minute before capitulating, in the be- lief that by so doing she would re- ceive better terms by the Entente al- lies. He expressed his pleasure at the fate of Bulgaria, which he said had thrown in her lot with the Teutonic Allies through covetous motives. "As regards Albania," he said, "we want autonomy as defined by Presi- dent Wilson with our constitution based upon the British and American systems." YOSTMEN PREgARED FOR INITIAL GAME Tour New Cases Ready to Duplicate Feat of Years in Taking Case Contest Past COACH YOST BUILDS STRONG TEAM DESPITE SHORT HOURS Case Team to Be Directed by Captain From Position of Quarter- Back 1 "Flu" Rep orted Four new cases of epidemic influen- za have been reported to Dr. J. A. Wessinger, health officer of Ann Arbor. Three of them are students and the other a child. So far no serious cases have arisen. Dr. Wessinger says the malady here is very mild and that he confidently believes it will subside within the next 10 days. His reports for the en- tire city of Ann Arbor, including all students of the University, are quite encouraging. No unusual sickness is evidenced among the students. The members of the students' army training corps are declared to be in excellent physical condition, according to Dr. W. E. Forsythe of the Univer- sity health service. The precautions already taken have proved very effec- tive and only a small number have needed medical attention. The settled situation of the men in their barracks has aided considerably to the high rat- ing of the health standing. The corps is entirely free from the so-called Spanish influenza. W. R.

' WALTE R, RKTLS,'18b, SUCCUMBS TO EPIDEMIC, PROMINENT GRADUATE DIES OF SPANISH INFLUENZA AT CAMP SHERMAN Walter R. Atlas, '18-ex-'19L, died of7 influenza at Camp Sherman, Chilli- cothe, Ohio, Friday, October 4 ,after a few days' illness. He had been in camp for only six weeks, and was about to leave for an officers' train- ing camp when he was taken ill. The progress of Atlas while in camp was' rapid. He was in service a week when he was appointed corporal, and given charge of the appointment of kitchen police in the camp. While in the University, Atlas con- tributed much to the success of ama- teur theatrical productions, having. starred in an annual Union opera, "Tres Rouge," and taken numerous parts in Comedy club plays and Shakespearian productions. He was a member of the Zeta Beta Tau frater- nity and Michigan Daily staff, and manager of the vrsity band in 1916- 17. He hadbeen elected to two hon- orary societies, Spinx and Griffins. His home was in Glouster, Ohio. Uniforms fMay Vie Issued Next Week Ispuance of clothing to the students in the S. A. T. C. will no doubt com- mence the early part of next week. Large shipments of clothing are arriv- ing every day. Members of Section B, S. A. T. C. are employed in unload- ing and assorting the material. Duties of the quartermaster of the S. A. T. C. have been increased more than 500 per cent since the first of September. During the entire sum- mer the quartermaster department was accustomed to handling consign- ments of clothing in dozen lots. To- day the department deals in carload and thousand lots. Since the first of the week two car- loads of cots have arrived, together with a carload of bed sacks, and an- other of shoes. Sizes of the shoes range from size 6 to 13. Every shoe from size 6 to 7 is a dress shoe, while the remainder of the sizes are marching shoes with rough leather for uppers. At the present time there are ap- proximately 1,500 socks, 2,000 suits, shirts, leggins, and woolen underwear, 23 bales of overcoats, and 75 dozen hats in the quartermaster house in MacMillan Hall on the corner of State . and Huron streets. Ready to deal out to the Case foot- ball men another such drubbing ast they received last year, the Michigan moleskinners will trot out . on Ferryt field gridiron this afternoon in fighting formation. Yost has overcome diffi-< culties presenting themselves this1 season, and has a regular "tank" teamI for attacking action. Win Last Year The Wolverines took the bacon from1 the engineers in their last contest in 1917. Michigan overwhelmed them at that time by a score of 42 to 0. With five letter men back on the squad this year, a repetition of the feat would be -no surprise. Despite the fact that the men have been coming out late due to military matters taking their time, Yost, in not more than an hour and a half practice each day, has made a typical Michigan machine of the bunch. The Maize and Blue warriors 34 strong gave the coach a hard job in picking men to start today's contest. Keen competition for berths on the Varsity eleven is being noted and critics are of the opinion that to set- tle the question of first string men definitely, Yost will give nearly every man on the squad a chance in the game this afternoon. New Material With new material being used to a great extent, the individual players will attract a great deal of atten- tion, yet even more so will their team work be scrutinized. Harmony in ac- tion will possibly be a big factor In determining the Varsity men. With seven Case letter men to reckon with and considering the pres- ence of Captain McCune at the helm of the team, the Case bunch is ex- pected to show more fight this year than at any previous time. Keen interest in Usher's ability at the game will be manifested and it is thought that the Sophomore will be able to spring some surprises in the game. Clash, another Toledo boy, is expected to show some brilliant play- ing, while Abie Cohn at right half is sure to be a big mainstay. Case Captain a Star Vanderhoof playing right half for Case, a letter man and seasoned vet- eran, is said to be a bear when he has (Continued on Page Three) NEW REGULATIONS FOR WEST POINT Washington, D. C., Oct. 4. - Secre- tary Crowell today approved a recom- mendation which has long been han. - ing fire. The recommendation speci- fies that for the duration of the war the course at West Point be reduced from four years to one. It also states that the present two upper classes shall be graduated the first of next month. Immediate benefits of this are that the army will get several hun- dred lieutenants now and over 2,000 within a year from now. MICHIGAN UNION MEMBERSHIP DANCES START OCTOBER 12 Following out a custom of previous years, the Michigan Union will start its weekly Saturday night member- ship dances on Oct. 12. Attendance at these dances will be limited to 100 couples, tickets being on sale at 5 o'clock on the Thursday preceding the parties. BULGARIAN KING ABDICATES; AUSTRIi FAVORS PEACE; ALLIES MAKE HUN MV ATO RL0TLFl * ARMY BAND, NOTICE ~ The Daily has taken it upon it- self to ask the army band, in be- half of the student body, to march to Ferry field this afternoon, and give the rooters some of the old Michigan pep songs. "The Vict- ors" should boom out tomorrow to let the boys know that we're all behind them every minute, war or no war. The students would appreciate the interest, thus ex- pressed, of their new college mates, the army mechanics. Get out the old drum! Commissions Open To All Army Mien Members of the S. A. T.

GERMAN COUNTER ATTACKS F A I L E D (By the Associated Press) With the British Army in France, 5 p. in., Oct. 5. - There has been fight- ing of the most serious nature along the British front today especially along the Beaurezori line, east of La Catelet. The last strong line of the Hin- denberg system has been smashed, and the British are in possession of it and reconnoitering far in advance. The Germans, apparently feeling that they were fighting with their backs to the wall, have launched six powerful coun- ter attacks during the past 24 hours. In the end the bodies of German dead were piled high as the result of the rifle, machine gun, and shell fire and the British were in possession of vi- al lines of the German defense. Again there has been fighting in the streets of Cambrai, around which the British lines are slowly but steadily being drawn. It is expected that the town may fall at any time. In the Lille sector the Germans are falling back eastward, leaving only rear guards behind to protect their re- treat.

S. national army1 according to an announcement of the War department.] There has -been a general impres-+ sion that-any man who came to col- lege this fall would speedily receive a commission. This is not the case. Men enlisted in any recognized branch of the service have an equal chance with any man in the S. A. T. C. If a+ man possesses the necessary mental, physical, and moral qualifications nothing can stop him from being an officer. Physical qualities are rated accord- ing to his physique, bearing, neatness, voice, energy, and endurance. Any man hoping to be an officer must possess at least ordinary intelligence. He must show adaptability, accuracy, ca- pacity to apply knowledge, and abil- ity to grasp readily, and to overcome difficulties. An officer must have character, re- liability, loyalty, perseverance, cheer- fulness, good personal habits, and a spirit of service and general helpful- ness are of prime importance. He must be of general falue to the serv- ice. His value as an administrator, as an instructor, and as a leader in ac- tion is given first consideration. Above all things he must be able to arrive quickly at a sensible decision in a cri- sis. Any man possessing the fore- going qualifications will be sure to receive an officership. There are many men who have had some military training in college and in officers' training camps. These men have considerable advantage over their less experienced comrades, and many of them have already received non-commissioned officers' positions.
