ALLIED OFFICIALS
TO HOLD MEETINGS

DE-

(By the Associated Press)
Paris, Nov. 15.- Meetings, begin-
ning today by the representatives of
the associated governments, will be
largely of an informal nature. They
will consist chiefly of conferences with
foreign ministers, rather than of pre-
miers, with a view of meeting a com-
mon understanding on international
questions and definitely arranging the
program of the peace conference.
One of the first conferences held
today was at the residence of Colonel
House, the head of the American dele-
gation, where Foreign Minister Son-
nimo, of Italy, spent some time. It
was expected that foreign Secretary
Balfour, of Great Britain, would ar-.
rive later.

TEUTONS TO RETIRE
IN FORCE SATURDAY
(By the Associated Press)
Headquarters of the American first
army in France, Nov. 15.-The Ger-
mans in force will begin Saturday to
leave the points they now occupy
northeast of the American lines, ac-
cording to German wireless messages.
Opposite the American front there
was much wagon and automobile traf-
fic Friday, the Germans apparently
hauling out the supplies of war mate-
rial which are not to be left behind.
A few German rear guards will re-
main on patrols and to pick up any
stragglers, should some of the Ger-
mans attempt to desert. American
observation balloons went up today,
the observers endeavoring to get an
idea of the extent of the German with-
drawal, but most of the traffic was so
far back that little of the activity
could be seen.

YEAR OF 2,800,000 TONS
BY 700,000
(By the British Wireless Service)
London, Nov. 15.-The parliamen-
tary secretary of the ministry of
shipping, speaking in the house of
commons yesterday, gave a resume
of the merchant ship building opera-
tions in Great Britain during the pe-
riod. of the war.
In 1913 he said the record figure
of 1,900,000 tons was reached. In.
1914, when the war broke out, the
output fell to 1,700,000 tons In 1915,
it decreased to 650,000 tons; in 1916
to about 540,000 tons, and in 1917 it
rose to a little under 1,200,000. Dur-
ing the 12 months ended Oct. 31, 1918,
the total output approximated 1,600,-

With a meeting of the entire student
body of the University held in Hill
auditorium yesterday afternoon, the
supporters of the Maize and Blue are
fully prepared to back the Varsity
football team in the contest this aft-
ernoon.
The monster pep gathering began
with a show of spirit that spells de-
feat for the Syracuse eleven this aft-
ernoon. With "Brute"' Lamport, the
clever little freshman and Hugh
White, the "gob" cheer leader, leading
the noise making, Hill auditorium
rang with cheers.
Andrew J. Jamieson, '1OE, at pre-
sent with the Detroit Y. M. C. A., was
the main speaker of the afternoon.
With a flow of humor thatakept the
students in an uproar of laughter the
former student of the University
brought out the last ounce of pep
that remained in the student body.
Abraham Gornetsky introduced his
new S. A. T. C. song which was im-
mediately declared a big hit. Under
the direction of Mr. T. Harrison, of
the School of Music, the audience soon
learned and sang it, accompanied by
the combined S. A. T. C. and naval
band which was also on the plat.-
form.
The school songs came in for their
share of attention when Mr. T.
Harrison taught them to the as-
sembly. "The Victors," "Varsity," and
"The Yellow and Blue," were played.
Not to be outdone by any other
gathering, the "Star Spangled Ban-
ner" topped off the entire meeting.
With the strains of the national an-
them ringing through the big auditor-
ium and with the embryo soldiers
standing at attention, the lusty voices
of the patriotic students carried the
spirit of democracy over the entire
campus.
Syracuse is to be met with a series
of new yells introduced at the meet-
ing. A new "kick-off" yell was in-
troduced. In other words, beginning
with the very blowing of the whistle
to start the game, to the minute it is
blown to end it; the Michigan side of
Ferry field will be in a constant yet
systematic uproar.

Explanatioki of these figures, he
said, rested with the victory over
Germany's submarines. Taking the
whole period, from the inception of
the convoy system, in the summer of
1917 to Nov. 2, this year the convoys
included about 47,000,000 gross tons
of merchant shipping, and losses
were 1.1 per cent.
Building now had risen to the mark
of nearly 145,000 tons per month, he
said, and the net loss of shipping had
been reduced to a negligible figure,
the loss in September being less than
7,000 tons. In short, the submarine
campaign had been beaten. The sec-
retary declared that it. was only beat-
en because the government had de-
voted the labor supply more largely
to the admiralty than to the mer-
chant shipping.
The output in the 12 months ending
Oct. 31, 1918, he placed at 2,900,000
tons. Thus, he said, the- virtual out-
put of these 12 months was nearly
3,000,000 tons, as against 2,300,000 in
1913, which was a record year.

STUDENTS' NOTICE!
All students who have not ver-
ified their names or corrected
their addresses for the Students'
Directory should do so at once.
Copies of the Directory have
been placed on the bulletin
boards in University hall and
the Engineering building where
such changes and verifications
may be made. Today is the last
day this opportunity will be giv-
en.

JEWISH SOCIETY
TO HOLD SOCIAL
The Jewish Students' congregation
and the Menorah society will usher
in their year's activities Sunday aft-
ernoon at a social to be held in Lane
hall. Invitations have been sent to
all Jewish men and women on the
campus, and the time of the affair
has been set for 2:30 o'clock so that
S. A. T. C. and naval unit men may
attend.
The entertainment will be in the
form of a "get-together," at which
it is hoped all of those present will
become acquainted with each other.
A social committee has been appoint-
ed with Nathan Salon, '20m, and Irene
J. Rosenberg, '21, as chairmen of the
men's and women's sections.
Dr. Leo M. Franklin, of Detroit,
Sergeant-major Alfred Fischer, Prof.
I. Leo Sharfman, and Abraham J.
Gornetzky, president of the congre-
gation, will deliver short talks. Mu-
sic, both classical and "jazz," will be
furnished. "Eats," too, are being ar-
ranged for.
The Jewish congregation last year
met each Sunday evening. When the
assemblies will be held this year will
be decided at the social.

CAMPUS SHORT OF
WAR WORK QUOTA
With yesterday as the last day for
voluntary subscriptions, only $1,000
was gained over the day before and
the campus is still about $28,000
short of its quota in the United War
Work campaign. The committee in
charge will make the first calls to-
day in soliciting subscriptions from
those who have not volunteered.
Miss Ruth Lieber, chairman of the
student campaign in the state, was
here yesterday and met the commit-
tee in charge, but the reports were
not of very much satisfaction The
quota at M. A. C. was $12,000 for the
enrollment of 1,600 students and they
reached their quota on the first day
of the campaign. Michigan has sub-
scribed only $12,000' in a week with
an enrollment of almost four times
as large.
The committee hopes that the cam-
pus realizes the necessity of raising
this quota in the least possible time.
If those who have not already con-
tributed will have their donations
ready when the solicitors call, they
will greatly simplify the committee's
work.

(By the Associated Press)
Berlin, by wireless to London, Nov.
15. - The new German government
has sent a message to President Wil-
son appealing to him that "in order
to save the German people from per-
ishing by starvation and anarchy."
Treat 'm Rough
Gargoyle Appears
The "Treat 'em Rough" number of
the Gargoyle is out.
It contains a lot of interesting ma-
terial. A Michigan man who saw the
Michigan-Chicago game of 13 years
ago has written a vivid account of
that game and the one of this year.
The story is one long chuckle-you
know how the men who remember
the old days feel when Stagg's men
get a beating. Another writer tells
of depressing experiences at a dental
clinic. There is a cross-fire of let-
ters from girl to soldier and soldier
to girl of a most amusing sort. A
student-poet started a rhymed his-
tory of the month's fighting - which
turned into a record of surrenders
by the Germans.
Prominent among the drawings are
a number of clever pen-and-ink pic-
tures by Margaret Jewell. Griffith
has a snappy drawing in this issue,
called "Messing." It reminds one of
Charlie Chaplin's method of consum-
ing custard pie. (Of course they don't
really act that way-Hoover would
object). There is a large double page
drawing of the sort that keeps you
busy finding anotheR and another and
another little joke among the, many
figures.
These are a few of the many inter-
esting things to be found in this is-
sue. Perhaps the best joke of all is
a joke that one of the editors play-
ed on himself-but you will enjoy bet-
ter finding that out for yourself.
