S. N. T. C. HAS ROOM
FOR 18 MORE MEN
There are 18 vacancies in the stu-
dents' naval training corps, according
to Rear-Admiral Berry, University
navy commandant.
These places were left by the en-
gineering students who failed to fill
their quota of 200. Students in other
colleges will fill the gap.
As the last shipment of blankets and
mattresses arrived yesterday from the
Great Lakes naval training station,
the men will all be stationed in their
barracks by tonight at the latest.
A number of Jackies have arrived
here from Great Lakes.
Five seamen arrived in Ann Arbor
Saturday from the Detroit section pa-
trol, having been detailed to the
training unit of the University. The
names of the men, all former stu-
dents at the University, follow: Shoen-
feld, '20, C. G. Patterson, '20, P. J.
Power, '20,1Howard Weeks, '21, and G.
F. Kaser, 21. It is probable that these
men will be assigned here perma-
nently and will re-enter the Univer-
sity.
Y , BUILDINS TO BE
LEASED BY GOVERNMENT
FRANCIS STIFLER, FORMERLY OF
GREAT LAKES, WILL BE
STATIONED HERE
A portion of the temporary floor in
:he Waterman gymnasium, in which
everal hundred mechanics are sta-
ioned; collapsed Sunday night at 9
'clock. The cause was a weak beam.
.here were no fatal injuries and only
, few serious ones. Forty-two men
vere hurt and the injuries were slight
or the most part.
The temporary floor was built level
vith the running track and was built
o accommodate a great number of
aen for sleeping purposes. Only a
ortion of it, about 20 feet square,
rent down and the men in that sec-
ion were extricated and removed
vithin a short time. They were tak-
n immediately to the University hos-
)ital, where the Senior medics work-.
d for several hours on the men re-
eiving injuries and were highly coin-
nended by military authorities for
heir services.
Military guards were posted at all
oints of the campus and excluded all
n-lookers. While this seemed an-
.oying to the public it was an im-
ortant factor in expediting the re-
ioval of the soldiers.
The list of the injured follows:

Lane hall, the Y. M. C. A. building
of the University of Michigan, New-
berry hall, and the University Y. W.
C. A. are to be leased this week by
the national war work council of the
Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of conduct-
ing war work among the men of the
S. A. T. C. at Michigan. Steps tothis
end were taken as soon as the an-
nouncement of the S. A. T. C. was
made. The new work is authorized by
the war department a Washington.
The budget is provided by the war
work council of the Y. M. C. A.
Francis Stfler Stationed Here
The Council has stationed at Mich-
igan Mr. Francis Stifler, who has been
for a year on the secretarial staff at
the Great Lakes, and who will have
supervision of the work at Michigan.
N. C. Fetter, for the past two years
secretary of the university "Y," will
remain as associate secretary. Five
others of experience to have charge
of the buildings and activities will be
added to the staff. All of the secre-
taries will be uniformed.
Lane hall has already been used by
the Michigan soldiers and sailors. The
letter writing facilities have been tax-
ed to the fullest capacity, army and.
navy stationery has been sent to the
barracks, and the free Saturday night
movies and the added musical equip-
ment have proved very popular.
Alterations Will Be Made
In order to accommodate all the
men who have shown a desire to use
the army and navy "Y," extensive al-
terations will be made in both New-
berry and Lane halls, under the direc-
tion of Secretary H. L. Nevil, of Chi-
cago, the special architect of the
army "Y."
The program to be followed will be
very similar to that of the regular
cantonments, adapted, however, to the
S. A. T. C. The features will be Sat-
urday evening entertainment, Sunday
morning Bible discussion, and lectures
of a religious and educational nature.
In an interview with Secretary
Stifler, he said, "The Army and Navy1
"Y" is here at the suggestion of the
government to meet the needs of the
leisure hours in the schedule of the
S. A. T. C. Our budget is audited by
the War department at Washington
and the government expects us to de-
liver the goods."
C. R. Smith of Ann Arbor is also go-
ing to be added to the staff October
15 as one of the building secretaries.
STUDENTS OF ARCHITECTURE
ELIGIBLE FOR ARMY TRAINING
The present enrollment in the Col-
lege of Architecture numbers upwards
of 70 students. Ten of these are girls
and most of the remainder are mem-
bers of the S. A. T. C.
According to Educational Director
Maclaurin, students in the College of
Architecture are eligible for the S.
A. T. C. It was at first thought that
they would not be, but this is not the
case.
EPIDEMIC REACHES
NSMEN
Physicians Urge Utmost Precaution
Despite Mild Form of Dis-
ease Here
HEALTH DEPARTMENT ISSUES
LIST OF BEST PREVENTATIVES
Training Corps Man 'Who Died Was
Not Afflicted with Influenza
Says Capt. Vaughan
Twenty-five cases of the present
epidemic of grip have been reported
to date among the students in the
University not members of the stu-
dents' army training corps.
It is expected that the number will
increase before the disease has run
its course. Although the malady is in
a mild form here, physicians advise
the students, as well as the people,
to take every precaution possible.
Those who have had the disease are
almost immune from it for a short
length of time following their sick-
ness.
Best Known Preventatives
The best known preventatives pre-
scribed by the physicians are as fol-
lows:
1. Avoid the crowds. Keep yourself
isolated as much as possible.
2. Do not sit close to any one who
has a cold or is sneezing.
3. Spray the nose and throat every
morning and evening with a 10 per
cent solution of argyrol. A medicine-
dropper may be used. The solution
will do no harm if swallowed.
To those who have the disease the
following is strongly advised:
1. Cover the mouth with a hand-
kerchief when coughing or sneezing.
2. Remain indoors and keep warm.
3. Keep the room well ventilated.
4. Drink lots of water.
5. No food is necessary. Fruit or
fruit juice should be taken if any-
thing is desired.
University Health Service Aids
The University health service will
administer an anti-septic .to all stu-
dents who wish to take this precau-
tion. Spanish influenza is not only in
the camps but is common throughout'
the civilian population of the cities.
Therefore every student should be es-
pecially careful in spite of the fact that
the situation here is not serious. The
death of the member in the students'
army training corps was not from
Spanish influenza, according to Capt.
B. E. Vaughan, physician of the train-
ing detachment here.
S. A. T. C. Men Under Quarantine
Ann Arbor is under strict quaran-
tine so far as the students' army
training corps is concerned.
Guards are stationed at all barracks;
and near some of the campus build-
ings. Some were stationed on dif-
ferent streets last night. This is to
be continued tonight. This is done
simply as a matter of protection to
see if the quarantine rules are being
strictly observed by the S. A. T. C.
men.
Only three new cases of influenza
grip were reported this morning.
There have been no serious cases so
far. One man-died from pneumonia,
but he came to Ann Arbor with it.
Many men reported in the hospital1
yesterday are back on duty today.
PROF. HOBBS WILL
GIVE WAR LECTURE
Prof. W. H. Hobbs, who gives the
first of his series of lectures on vari-
ous phases of the war at the Natural
-Science auditorium this afternoon,:
has announced that in view of the
peace overtures made by the Kaiser
to President Wilson, he will depart
from the order of the series and
speak today on "The Peace Terms of
Democracy." The lecture will begin
at 4.30 o'clock. In the interest of halt-
ing the spread of influenza, persons
suffering with coughs and colds are
requested not to attend, and others
are urged to observe all the precau-
tionary measures recommended by the
health authorities.
Enrollment Continues in Telegraphy
Enrollment is still open in the teleg-
raphy school, which, however, began
on October 1. At the present time
its students number 10, the greater'
proportion being women. It has no
official connection with the govern-
ment.
WILL GIVE COURSE
IN SHIPBUILDING
Michigan will turn out ship builders.
At the request of the United States
emergency fleet corporation, the naval
architectural department of the Uni-
versity offers courses in ship design
to start October 7.
A short intensive course of about
12 weeks will be given to non-students
while students of architecture in the
University may elect it as a regular
course. Non-students will devote full
time to ship drawing and designing.
Applicants must have had at least
three years previous study in an eng-
ingeering college course such as civil,
mechanical, electrical, or architectural
engineering. This limits applicability
to seniors and advanced students only.
Trained ship designers are in great
demand and men who will undertake
this course will be doing patriotic
work. Men desiring information
should either apply or write to the
naval architectural department.
Where new shipyards have sprung
up and skilled labor is summoned
from every part of the country it has
been found impossible to keep the men
unless they have suitable dwelling
places. The government is in need of
many men trained in community hous-
ing and special emphasis will be laid
on this subject in the course in design.
WILSON CONFERS WITH
ETENTE PREMIERS
U. S. TO REFUSE GERMAN NOTE;
PRESIDENT TO SEND REPLY
SOON
Washington. Oct. 'I.-President Wil-
son is conferring with the premiers
of the Entente nations over the form
of answer to be made to Germany's
latest peace proposals. The indica-
tions are that it will not be discussed
for a day or two.
While there may be some question
as to the form of a reply there is no
question whatever as to its nature. It
may not use the short and forceful
term "unconditional surrender," which
would reflect the sentiment which has
come from the spokesman of the na-
tion, but it is sure to convey to the
German government very clearly the
fact that nothing less than the terms
already laid down can be accepted,
and that these terms cannot be made
merely "the basis for negotiations."
As to an armistice, such a step would
be looked upon as suicidal and not
to be thought of.
It is very clear that the reply will
be not only an answer to Germany
and to her allies, but a statement for
the historical record of the war. It
is realized on every hand that a re-
jection must be a convincing one and
one that must be the prolonging of the
war for the ends sought.
NO MAN A MEMBER OF S. A. T. C.
UNTIL PAPERS ARE OBTAINED
All members of the students' army
training corps whose names appear
in the lists posted at the entrance to
the Registrar's office in Univ'ersity
hall, are requested to call for their
draft papers immediately. These ae
the papers which must be filled out
by every student in the S. A. T. C.
They exempt the men from their home
draft boards and as they are of the
utmost importance, each man must
call in person in order to secure his
paper. New names are posted every
day and each member who has not
already called for his paper, is asked
to keep in touch with the names.
Many Women Here from Other Schools
A late report coming from Dean
Myra B. Jordan office states that the
enrollment of women in the combined
freshman classes is- 279. Women
transferring from various other col-
leges now recorded here include 50
sophomores, 38 juniors, and 19 se-
niors, making a total of 107.
It may be interesting to note the
enrollment of women in the various
professional colleges at the Univer-
sity. There are eight women taking
special drafting; two in the Law col-
lege; 24 in the Medical school; 10 in
the Dental college; 10 in the school
of pharmacy, and 18 in the College of
Engineering and Architecture.
Former Student, Now Ensign, in Town
Ensign R. Vere Lamkin, ex-'19, is
spending the day in Ann Arbor. He is
stationed in New York city.
WANTED: S. A. T. C. MEN
S. A. T. C. men, as well others,
are wanted for the editorial and
business staff of The Daily. Mem-
bers of the corps can now elect
Rhetoric 37 in the literary col-
lege, or English 10 and 12 in the
engineering college, putting in
three hours of work on The Daily
for every hour of credit. Apply
at the Press building in the after-
noons.
Ten-week subscriptions to The
Daily are being offered for $1.50.
Nurses Respond.
To Custer Call
When a call came from Camp Cus-
ter for nurses to relieve the strain
caused by the recent epidemic of
Spanish influenza, Ann Arbor sent 25
nurses, most of whom were members
of the home defense league.
Recently there was a great demand
for nurses at the Great Lakes training
camp which was filled by nurses from
the west. Later, when the epidemic
spread to Camp Custer, the nurses'
training school responded with the
above quota, which will be sufficient
to tide the camp over the worst of the
plague.
Graduate nurses are leaving Ann
Arbor for camps constantly. The
Washtenaw district has 99 Red Cross
nurses enrolled, and 60 of these are
in actice service, and 60 of these are
home defense league.
There are 180 nurses in training in
Ann Arbor at the nurses school of
the University, of which 18 are grad-
uates of Vassar and have had three
months of intensive training there.
Since Aug. 1 when the call for 25,000
nurses came, there have been more ap-
plications for admission received than
ever before. Many University girls
are enlisting for service of this nature.
ACCIDENT AND INFLUENZA
KEEPS RED CROSS BUSY
The Red Cross is rushed to the
spread of influenza and the accident in
Waterman gymnasium. Masks have
meen made for the waiters at the
Union to prevent the spread of the
epidemic. Garments have been sent
to St. Joseph's and the Homeopathic
hospital.
The Red Cross has made definite ar-
rangements for the use of surgical
dressings. A call is issued for col-
lege girls or any others to help in this
work.
Edward Headman, Killed in France
Wyandotte, Oct. 7.-Edward Head-
man, '16, has been reported killed in
action in France on Sept. 1. Edward
is the son of the city treasurer, James
C. Headman, and a graduate of Wyan-
dotte high school. He had been serv-
ing with the 302 engineers, having en-
listed in June, 1917, and been in
France since September of that year.
Officers who worked with him have
written his father of the good work he
had been doing.
Mrs. S. J. Hume Guest of Newberry
Miss Lucy Elliot, social director of
Newberry residence, had as her
guest Monday Mrs. Samuel J. Hume,
whose husband is assistant professor
of dramatic literature and art and di-
rector of the Greek theater in Berke-
ley. Last year Professor Hume was
director of the Arts and Crafts thea-
ter in Detroit, which presented a trio
of attractive plays in Sarah Caswell
Angell hall early last spring.
Two Former Students Go to France
Donald W. Ogilbee, '16L, has left for
France, it is reported. Ogilbee, who is
now a lieutenant, lives in Manito. Col.
Eugene A. Ward, '17, of Big Rapids,
is also reported as being on the way
to France.

Vance in Champagne Despite Big
Hun Reinforcements
(By the Associated Press)
Although peace talk is still in the
air, there is no peace for the Ger-
mans and Austro-Hungarian armies
in the field.
A further indication of the troub-
lous times in the German army is the
report that Field Marshal von Hin-
denberg has resigned after a stormy
interview with Emperor William, dur-
ing which von Hindenberg informed
the emperor that a German retreat on
a large scale was necessary.
While attempts are being made in
"well informed circles" in Germany
and Austria-Hungary to show that
the latest peace proposals of the Gen-
eral Powers are honest expressions of
a desire for a "just peace" Marshal
Foch's armies are proceeding without
pause in their task of clearing Bel-
gium and -France of the invader, and
they are continuing to meet with great
successes. Likewise in Serbia and Al-
bania the Serbs and Italians are 4C
reclaiming enemy occupied territory,
while at last reports the British in
Palestine were still hard after the re-
treating Turks.
Yankees Still Gain Ground
While further good gains have been
made by the British east of Arras,
where the operations have in view the
capture of the highly important town
of Douai and other advances have
been recorded between Cambrai and
St. Quentin interests for the present
centers in the fighting in Champagne,
between the Argonne forest and the
Meuse, where the French and Ameri-
cans are driving the enemy steadily
northward, despite great resistance of
positions of high strategic value.
All along the front from Rheims
to the Meuse, a distance of more than
50 miles, the enemy everywhere has
met with serious reverses and is fall-
ing back in some places in disorder.
Where the enemy is trying to resist,
the French and Americans are meeting
their counter thrusts with splendilS
stamina and gradually forcing them
to give ground step by step.
Hun Throws in Reinforcements
East of the Argonne forest, between
the great wooded bastion and the
Meuse the Americans have further
advanced their line notwithstanding
the fact that the enemy has thrown
in large reinforcements to hinder the
blotting out of the forest and the
forming of a junction by way of the
Arre valley between the Americans
and French on its western side. In
the latest fighting the Americans
drove the enemy out of Chatel-Che-
hery, one mile northwest -of Apre-
mont, and obtained command of the
heights west of the Arre.
Germans Fire Soon
Taken altogether the entire south-
ern front of the Germans seems to be
in a rather serious situation from
Lasere to the north of Verdun. Laon,
the great storehouse of the GermaA:
northeast of Soissons, is reported to
be on fire, indicating a possibility of
an early falling back; the Chamin-
des-Dames defensives are outflanked
at both ends; Rheims has been re-
stored and the Germans pushed back
more than 10 miles north of it, while
eastward General Gouraud's armies
and the American first army are bril-
liantly carrying out their part of the
great converging movement that seem-
ingly at no far distant date will force
the enemy materially to readjust his
line.
All Theatres Closed Indeflnitely
All Ann Arbor theatres have been
closed since Saturday on account of
the influenza scare. 'They will remain
closed for an indefinite period in order
to prevent further spread of the epi-
demic.

LIEUTENANT KENYON, EX-'18A,
FALLS BEHIND GERMAN LINES
First Lieut. R. H. Kenyon, ex-'18A,
has been reported missing in action
for four days.
Lieutenant Kenyon was among the
members of the unit which left for
Great Lakes in the latter part of 1917.
He entered the aviation corps and was
later sent to England to complete his
training. After receiving his commis-
sion as first lieutenant, he was sent to
France, where his machine was
brought down behind the German
lines. Nothing definite has been heard
nf him sinre
