fined to his home here with influen-
za. He has canceled his engagement.

Washington, Nov. 21. - The second
session of the 65th, or "war" con-
gress, which began last Dec. 3, ended
at 5 o'clock tonight under a resolu-
tion which had been adopted earlier'
in the day by the senate, 41 'to 18,
and by the house, without objection.
Final Session Starts Dec. 2
The third and final session of this
congress will begin in 11 days, Dec.
2. The adjournment today was de-
void of many of the spectacular fea-
tures usually accompanying -the end-
ing of sessions. .
President Wilson did not go to the
capitol, because no legislation re-
irthg his action was passed by eith-
er body, and only small groups of
spectators waited for the falling of
the gavels of Vice-president Marshall
and Speaker Clark.
Senate Not Contest Michigan Election
During the day congress formally
completed, and sent to President
Wilson, the bill for war-time prohibi-
tion, effective next Jan. 1. The Pres-
ident signed the measure.
Other matters upon which action
was taken before the closing were
confirmation of former Solicitor-gen-
eral John W. Davis, as American am-
bassador to Great Britain, and indefi-
nite postponement by the senate
privileges and elections committee of
action on the resolution proposing a
contest of the election of Truman H.
Newberry, Republican, as senator
from Michigan.
- Women's Senior
Society Initiates
"Say, look at that funny hat that
girl has on."
"That's a mortar-board, you boob,"
said the other S. A. T. C.er. "Only
it is rather early in the season for
them, and she hasn't got her gown on
either."
Fall initiation for Mortarboard, se-
nior girls' honorary society, was held
last night, and during the day the
initiates wore the mortarboard as ex-
pression of their good faith, and un-
derwent the curious glances and mis-
understanding remarks of the general
student body. Those initiated were,

Jane Duemling, Lucille Duff, Martha
Guernsey, Katherine Kilpatrick, Fran-
ces McDonald, Anne McMahon, Ruth
Dailey, Winifred Parsons, Marcia Pin-
kerton, and Olive Wiggins.
The formal initiation was held at
the home of Ida Belle Guthe. Dean
Myra B. Jordan was the guest of
honor, and was also initiated. Many
alumnae were present.

BLUE DEVILS WILL
HAVE BIG WELCOME
The French army. band, known as
the Blue Devils, which is due to ar-
rive in Ann Arbor Saturday, will be
met in a style that befits its reputa-
tion. They will come! in from Lansing
by train about 1 o'clock and will re-
ceive a reception at the depot such
as is rivalled \not even by the home-
coming of a winning football team.
There will be a band to meet them-
the one of the S. A. T. C. and the
naval unit combined. The military
parade, consisting of the fourth bat-
talion of the S. A. T. C., and a detach-
ment from the naval unit, will act as
an escort. From the depot they will
march up State street and directly
to Ferry field.
When Ferry field is reached, a re-
view is to be staged on the football
field in direct view of all the specta-
tors, with all those who were in the
parade taking part. Directly after
the review, a flag-raising is planned
as one of the features of the day.
Both French and American flags will
be raised as the bands play the na-
tional anthems. The S. A. T. C. and
naval units practiced this review yes-
terday afternoon, so it should come
off without a hitch.
The Frenchmen will stay in Ann
Arbor all night, and barracks have
prepared quarters for them on the
third floor of the Union building.

fof-
and

later connected with the reportorial
staffg the Detroit News, who was
captured by the Germans about'three
weeks before the end of the war, has
with 205 others regained the lines. of
the American army of occupation. He
was released Nov. 11 and reached the
lines at 7 o'clock, Friday morning,
Nov. 17.
These 205 men were sent from va-
rious points of capture on the front
to a German prison camp at Louppy,
on French soil. When the nu'mber in
that camp reached 300 the men were
usually loaded on trucks and taken
north to a camp farther from the
front.
The fact that there were but 205
men in the Louppy camp when the
armistice was signed made them the
first to regain the American lines, as
they had but 60 kilmeters to walk.
The released men were given two
days' rations but no directions. Al-
though 40 French prisoners who
caught up with them had maps it
took the party four days to reach
the advance guards of Dickman's
third American army.
Church was cut off and captured
while making observations with offi-
cers in the front line. When last heard
from he was attached to an advanced
ordnance detachment north of the
Verdun hills. The story of the men
who returned with Church is given
in despatches from Raymond G. Car-
roll to the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
Private Church enlisted last June
and was trained in the ordnance
school at Camp Hancock, Georgia. He
went overseas soon after his bourse
there was complete'd and was attach-
ed to a division in the first Ameri-
can army.

Paris, Nov. 21.-A delegation of the
American Red Cross has crossed the
Rhine to Baden, in Hunningem, plac-
ing the first Americans on German
soil. The place where the river was
crossed is a short distance north of

Cross trucks and insisted that the
Red Cross workers drink with them.
German soldiers' councils in Baden
are selling German arms and sup-
plies. The population, which is rev-
olutionary, is in complete control.
Ragged and famished Italians al-
most raised the roof off the Red
Cross canteen with cheers when the
Americans opened the place.
The Red Cross delegation left Swit-
zerland for Alsace Friday taking with
it a truck loadofesupplies. Two hun-
red Italians were fed. A canteen was

TWO CLASSES UNABLE TO MAKE
DECISIONS, HOLD NOMINATIONS
Campus election day was featured
as usual by little interest and a small
vote. A hundred people at any of
the class meetings with the exception
of the first year meetings was unusu-
al. Several dead-locks resulted and
the freshmen engineers and senior
lits merely nominated candidates in-
stead of holding both the nomination
and elections as had been planned by
the Student council.
Perhaps more classes held their
elections yesterday than have done so
in any one single day for many years.
The organization worked in an ex-
cellent manner and the councilmen
in charge deserve commendation upon
the way the work was planned and
executed:
The elections resulted as follows:
The senior lit nominations, result-
ed in the nomination of Laurel A.
Lundquist and Alfred Mason for pres-
ident, Mary Overman and Emma Riggs
for vice-president, Marcia Pinkerton.
Emily Powell, and Evadne Wright for
secretary, and George B. Berg and
George R. Ferguson for treasurer.
Junior lits- president, Carl John-
son; vice-president, Grace Hall;
treasurer, William Leitzinger; secre-
tary, Ruth Abbott; oratorical dele-
gates, David Nash and Aimee Renkes.
Sophomore lits-President, Hugh C.
White; vice-president, Alice E. Beck-
ham; secretary, Marion C. Spaulding;
treasurer, Albert C. Jacobs, oratorical
delegates, Bruce Garland and Dorothy
Dunlap.
Freshman lits - President, Frank
Steketee; vice-president, Alethea
-Yerkes; treasurer, Philip Ringer; sec-
retary, Margaret Tibbals. Only a few
attended the first year meeting and
little pep was displayed.
Senior laws-President, tie between
Jay Stough and T. V. Evensar; vice-
president, Emil Annebel; secretary,
William O'Connell; treasurer, John
Simpson; oratorical delegate, J. I.
Dickenson. The senior law election
was an exception to the rule, every
member of the class being present
and voting. ,Another meeting will be
held to decide the tied vote.

er; vice-president, Kelsey Guilfoil;
secretary, S. K. Jackson; treasurer,
W. F. Fellows; oratorical delegate,

ATHLETIC PROGRAM
ON SALE SATURDAY
With the army and navy dominating
the football program of the M. A. C.
game, it will be ready for circulation
tomorrow.
This year's M. A. C. program is one
of the best in the history of the
school, according to those who have
seen many of them. From the cover,
to the last page, it is both attractive
and interesting. The army and navy,
as well as the football squad, are rep-
resented in the three color cover. The
blue of the navy and the khaki of the
army are both prominent on the out-
side sheet's.
The program is highly illustrated
with pictures of both teams, the indi-
vidual men on the squads, and the
coaches. A photograph of Tad Wei-
man, captain in absentia of the 1918
squad is featured, while the honor
page is dedicated to Major Durkee of
the S. A. T. C. of the University, with
a full page cut, surrounded by a U.
of M. border.
Articles on M. A. C.-Michigan re-
lations, The S. A. T. C. and Football,
A Review of the Season, and other'
timely numbers make up the literary
part of the book
Complete information on both
squads, which is the reason for the is-
suance of the program, is supplied in
measures that give the readers prac-
tically all information that they wish
about both squads.

REGISTRAR HALL LEAVES FOR
NORTHWESTERN CONFERENCE

Dr. Arthur G. Hall, registrar of the
University, left yesterday afternoon
for Evanston, Illinois, where he will
attend a conference of registrars
from the larger colleges of the mid-
dle west, to be held at Northwestern
university. The problems arising
from the military organizations in
the various colleges will be discuss-
ed.

New York, Nov. 21. - Official fig-
ures on the total subscription for the
United War Work campaign will be
withheld until "continuation drives'
are planned by New York, Chicago,
and other cities which failed to make
their quotas, was reported by John
R. Mott, director general of the cam-
paign.
The last total announced was $158,-"
565.58 and Mr. Mott declared that
unless the minimum goal of $170,500,-
000 was passed, the seven war relief
organizations would be compelled to
discontinue their owrk in the Unit-
ed States navy as well as the work
among the men of the French and
Italian armies. "It also would be
necessary," he said, "to foresake Rus-
sia at the very time help was most
needed."
The "Come Back" mass meeting
awoke the campus to the extent that
the amount reached was more favor-
able than was expected by the com-
mittee. Many came to Lane hall to
make pledges, and some to make ad-
ditions to the pledges they had already
made. Twelve teams went out Wed-
nesday night enthusiastically, and had
good results. The main difficulty has
been that aboat 20 civilian men have
left no record of their address on
their registration cards, and it has
been impossible for the committee to
reach them. Those whose addresses
are not recorded ,should come to Lane
hall and make their pledges.
Yesterday $734.05 was pledged in
the United War Work campaign. Four
women, the only four to contribute
averaged $6 each. The total number
of contributors was only 155.
No naval unit men were on yester-
day's list but the S. A. T. C. men aver-
aged over $4 perman which is more
than the general average among the
military men. The grand total last
evening was $15,793.78.
The booth used in the campaign are
to be used by the War Camp commun-
ity service on Saturday as information
bureaus. They are to be left in the
respective positions at either end of
the campusand are especially for the
benefit of the many visitors in the
city for the M. A. C. game.
A cleanup is . planned for today;
every civilian man will be given an
op'portunity to do his part. Voluntary
contributions will still be received at
Lane or Newberry halls, or at the
Y. W. C. A. headquarters in Bar-
bour gymnasium.
At the dinner held Wednesday night
at Lane hall for the committees, Mr.
Francis Stifler and Mr. N. C. Fetter
gave a demonstration of how to so-
licit. The former stated that he had
given to other things, as the liberty
bond campaign, that he had pledged'
elsewhere, and that the war was over,
but Mr. Fetter over-rode all his ob-
jections and pinned him down with
