PRICE THREE CENTS UNITED WAR WORK BOOSTED SLIGHTLY BYMASS MEETING UNIVERSITY $15,000; TOTAL REACHES $25,000 MORE IS NEEDED 11 MILLION LACKING FROM NATIONAL QUOTA Incomplete Returns Nation Will Go Top Indicate Over the That I The United War Work "Come Back" mass meeting succeeded in wrestling little more than $200 from those who stopped at the tables after the meet- ing to subscribe. The total for today is $15,059.73. The opportunity to volunteer at the booths is passed but those who wish to volunteer'm ay make their pledges at Lane hall or the Y. W. C. A. head- quarters at Barbour gymnasium. An attempt to reach those who have not yet pledged will be made today by committees and teams who will de- 4ote one last day to getting Michigan over the top. A supper was held last night at Lane hall for the teams and commit- teesi Full plans for the soliciting were made and by a systematized ef- fort the teams hope to reac all those who have not yet subscribed. Other colleges in the state and uni- versities have shown "not only their patriotism but their loyalty to their institution," in the words of Mr. Thad- deus Leland, state campaign direct- or, a great deal more than Michigan. ,Hope, Alma, Albion, Olivet, and Ad- rian have reached their quotas, and some of them gone over the top with- out the help of the faculty. That the end of the war does not m'eat the innediate demobilization of troops, was made clear in a state- ment by Secretary of War Newton C. Baker. "Demoliziation 'will take many months. Hundreds of thousands of the more than 2,000,000 men en- gaged in service in Europe will be kept there for police duty for an in- definite time," stated a telegram re- ceived by Mr. Carol F. Sweet, in charge of the United War Work cam- paign in Michigan, from Mr. Baker. "I feel sure," continued the message' "that when people understand the true state of affairs, Michigan will go over the top as it has done every time." National Total Lacks 11 Million (By the Associated Press) New York,,Nov. 20.-Officials of the United War Work campaign state that the latest national total for the drive for $170,500,000 which closes at mid- night tonight, was $158,565,058 or $11,934,942 less than the sum sought. They added, however, that this report was inconplete, and that final figures would not be available for at least two days. , Leaders for the patriotic drive fo the seven welfare organizations serv ing America's fighting forces remain ed hopeful of attaining their goal, stating' that the state and local com- mittees in all parts of the country were too busy tabulating last minute contributions to report their totals to national headquarters. Officials announced that 38 states had gone over the top and that New England and the south had scored a perfect record. Only the large cities of the east were lagging, it was said, and it was believed that the final fig- ures would compare favorable with those from the rest of the country. Every military department except the eastern one wos reported to have passed its goal. Dreadnaught Convoy to Escort Wilson Washington, Nov. 20.-Naval o i- cials let it be known today that it is planned to take the President and' the delegations across the Atlantic in a big liner now in the service of the government as a transport.

UNIVERSITY UNITS TOBE ENTERTAINED Men Will Be Guests of Citizens for Dinners in Homes on Thanksgiving WAR CAMP COMMUNITY PLANS ASSIGNING OF MEN TO HOMES Ann Arbor citizens will give invi- tations for Thanksgiving dinner to each one of about a thousand soldiers and sailors of the University units, according to the plans of the War Camp Community Service. The mil- itary authorities estimate that about that number of the men will be una- ble to go home for their Turkey Day dinners on account of the distance from Ann Arbor. The Community Service is arrang- ing affairs through a committee of the Ann Arbor Civic association. They will assign guests to families desir- ing to entertain men in uniform stranded in town on the great na- tional holiday. While the food that the men are served at the mess is generous and wholesome, on Thanksgiving day real home cooking would make a powerful appeal to the members of the S. A. T. C. The men in the naval unit and the S. A. T. C. will be given Thanksgiv- ing day off it was announced yester- day. They will be allowed passes from the Wednesday noon before Thanksgiving until the Friday morn- ing after. Everyone, of course, can- not b -let off as some men must be kept on duty, such as fire-watch, hos- pital orderly duty, etc. A special tur- key dinner is being planned at the Union for those who are to be here 'in town. V oishevik Rule Near Collapse (By the Associated Press) Washington, Nov. 20.-Overthrow of the Bolshevik regime in Ukraine, and the capture of Kruz by the Cossack troops, friendly to the new Russian government, as reported today, opens the way, in opinon of officials here, for important development in Russia. Great Britain may propose the sending of additional troops into Rus- sia to place it on a stable footing and eliminate the Boleshevik forces, ac- cording to reports received here. The Bolshevik fighting strength is considered as now practically concen- trated against the Allied and Russian troops now operating south of Arch- angel.

The naval unit is especially featured, and the number is dedicat- ed to Admiral Berry and Lieutenant Boak. It also contains a recent pic- ture of these two officers. FACULTY ENDORSE UNITED WAR WORK Members of Faculty in Urge Students to Victors GRATITUDE MAY BE DISPLAYED BY DONATING TO LAST DRIVE The United War Work drive has received more hearty endorsements by the faculty. A few commendations follow: Dean John, R. Effinger: "The need of contributions for the United War Work drive is so great that I trust every student will give enough to satisfy his conscience that he is doing the right thing." Registrar Arthur G. Hall: "Everyone who is acquainted with the war at all must approve of this drive and the work of these organi- zations. Every country among the Allies in raising its armies and main- taining them has kept prominently in mind the purpose of the war which is the freedom and the highest wel- fare of society and every individual in society. While it is true that sci- ence has playedl a greater part in this than in any other previous war, never before in the history of the world has so much attention been paid to the moral, intellectual and physical character of the armies. It is safe to. say that the morale of the armed forces and of the nation back of these forces has been the deciding factor in the winning of the great victory. It will continue to be the deciding factor in the still greater victory which has yet to be won in the reconstruction of the world. This morale has been msintained by the governments directly but very largely through the seven organizations rep- resented in this great drive. The need of money to carry on the essential work of these societies will be great- er during the year to come than when the soldiers were busy in battle. Prof. W. H. Hobbs: Few people realize that our arm- ies must be maintained for a long time yet. The great danger is that we will relax interest and so fail to gain the fruits of victory. This dan- ger should be avoided by co-operation with the organizations represented in the United War Work drive. Dean Wilbert B. Hinsdale, of the Homeopathic Medical School: "The United War Work fund is sn uo apeui eq u I e u ll1o sTe u ll to do our bit and surely it is little enough. We should think of it as a thank offering for peace, an oppor- tunity .to show our gratitude to those who secured that peace for us. We should cheerfully cash in as much as we can in order to close up our ac- count with them. There will be just one more liberty bond issue. If peace had not come there would have been many and the calls made upon the people would have been ten-fold. Evqn bonds are investments and good ones which entail no sacrifice for us. This is a real gift and one which we should feel joy in giving." InterviewsI Aid MICHIGAN'S STUDENT COUNCIL SPEAKS The Student council urges ev- ery student to do his share to- ward putting Michigan over the top in the United War Work campaign now being carried on. Other universities, and even colleges in our own state, are far outstripping us in the per capita amounts raised. This must not continue. Michigan MUST be the leader in this as \ as in everything else. That old Michigan pep must be put in this drive TODAY. This is the last day and we MUST PASS OUR QUOTA, For Michigan! C. T. VAN DUSEN, Acting ?resident, The Student Council. REPORTS, ON ACADOEMIC BORK BEING COMPLIED MONTHLY FOR GRADES ARE MADE WAR DEPARTMENT RATING Monthly reports on the academic work of the students in the S. A. 1'f. C. and the naval unit are now being made by the University in accordance with the requirements of the war de- partment. The rating or grade to be given in these reports is entirely dis- tinct from the college grade at the end of the term, which carries with it hours of credit towards graduation and which will be handled in the us- ual way. These reports, which will be hand- ed in by the instructor towards the latter part of each month, are the in- structoi's careful estimate of the stu- dent's scholarship rating without re- gard to :the amount of work the stu- dent has been able to accomplish. In other words; it is to be a rating which is qualitative though not neces- sarily quantitative. The instructor does not commit h.imself by this re- port on the question of college credit for the work. That he can decide at the end of the term as in former years. The grades are to be given, if possible, in multiples of 10, and the grade of 60 or above will be consid- ered a satisfactory rating. In order to facilitate this work and to unify the scholastic interests of the S. A. T. C. and the naval unit of the various colleges of the Univer- sity, a central bureau has been es- tablished which will receive the in- formation thus gathered and tabulate it. Prof. Lewis M. Gram has been appointed to act as educational di- rector, and with him will be associ- ated Prof. William F. Hauhart as ye- corder or secretary. The offices of the bureau are being arranged in the military and naval headquarters so that both the academic and military records of the students can be kept at the same place. The method of reporting absences by the instructors for those men in the S. A. T. C. and the naval unit has been changed from the original plan as a result of a conference of Uni- versity officials with military author- ities. According to the new arrange- ment all absences among the stu- dents enrolled in the military organi- zations will be reported daily to the University offices. Previous to this order the University had nothing to do with the attendance of the mili- tary students. Garfield Raises Anthracite Coal Price Washington, Nov. 20.-Retail dealers in anthracite coal were notified to- day by the fuel administration that they may advance the price only the amount of the additional labor cost involved in the recent wage increas- es given anthracite miners.

WITNESS RELATS SURRENDER OF20 GER1MANU-BOAS BRITISH ESCORT UNDERWATER CRAFTS 20 MILES OFF HARWICH TRANSPORTS TAKE HUN COMMANDERS TO KIEL Each Commander Signs Pledge That Ship Continues lin irst Class Condition l (By the British Wireless Service) London, Nov. 20.-The following ac- count of the surrender of 20 German submarines this morning is given by an eye witness of the ceremony. More than 80 German submarines are to be handed over to the Allied naval command before the end of the week. After steaming more than 20 miles across the North Sea, the Harwich forces, which consisted of five light cruisers and 20 destroyers, were sighted. The flag ship of Admiral Tyrwhitt, the commander, was the Curacao. High above the squadron hung a big observation balloon. Scene Very Picturesque The squadron, headed by the flag ship, then steamed toward the Dutch coast followed by the Covestry, Drag- on, Damal, and Centaur. Other ships followed in the line with the naviga- tion lights showing. The picture was a noble one as the great vessels, with the moon still shining, plowed their way to take part in the surrender of the German U-boats. Soon after 7 o'clock 20 submarines -were seen in line, accompanied by two German destroyers, which were to take the submarines crews back to Germany after the transfer. Subs Advance with Open Hatches All the submarines were on the surface with the hatches open and their crews standing on deck. Their vessels were flying no flags what- ever, and their guns were trained fore and aft in accordance with the terms of surrender. A bugle sounded on the Curacao, and all the gun crews took up their stations ready for any possible treachery. British Crews Go on Board U-Boats The leading destroyer, in response to a signal from the admiral, turned and led the way toward England, and the submarines were ordered to fol- low. They immediately did so. The surrender had been "accomplished. Each cruiser turned and, keeping a careful lookout, steamed toward Harwich. On reaching a point some 20 miles off Harwich the ships drop- ped anchor and British crews put on' board the submaines to take them In- to harbor. The submarines were then taken through the gates of the har- bor, and the German crews were transfer'sed to the transports, which will take them back to Germany. As the boats went through the gates the white ensign was run up from each of them with the German flag underneath. Hun Commanders Sign Pledges Each German submarine command- er at the transfer was required to sign a declaration to the effect that his vessel was in running order, that its periscope was intact, that its tor- pedoes were unloaded, and that its torpedo sheds were safe. Orders had been issued forbidding any demonstration and these in- structions were obeyed to the let- ter. There was complete silence as the submarines surrendered and as the crews were transferred. So end- ed a historic event, 'and the' first portion of the German submarine fleet is now in the hands of the British navy. SEWING AND MENDING TO BE PROVIDED AT WOMEN'S PARTY For those who do not care to dance at the women's league party Friday afternoon, sewing and mending from the University hospitals will be pro- vided.
