yed by a copper company at
raiso, Chile, for wounded Amer-
boys, came all the way to head-
ers of the Y. M. C. A. in Paris
ther day,.and this iscwhat hap-
Sto it. E. C. Carter, chief of the
. C. A. overseas activities, gave;
oney to his secretary telling her
end every cent of it on boys in
'tain hospital who needed some
comforts.
e secretary and two other girls,
i, the uniform of the Y. M. C.
>lected a lot of the latest news-
's and magazines from home,
it up cigarettes, chewing gum,
late, jam and a basket full of
white grapes, and then, laden
beyond the limit ofdtheir ancient
drove to the big base hospital
ie world-famous race track at
ill just outside Paris, once the
of sport and now the home of
usand or more wounded Ameri-
soldiers.
arettes were given to every man

Chen the three girls went into the
ward, where boys are not allow-
bacco in any form until the gas
tirely out of their systems. Each
ese boys was given chewing
and some of them were so glad
t it that they actually cried.
s were not so far down with
ravages of the attack and sang
lad "Hurrays," but there wasn't
n in that ward whose day was
nade easier by that package of
medical ward, where fever patients
with parched throats were relieved
by the cooling fruit. The jam was
given to various nurses, for there was
none too much of it, and not nearly
enough for all the boys. The nurses
take these little extras and hide them
under lock and key in their medicine
chests. And now and then it is giv-
en to bed ridden patients whose ap-
petites, as well as their tired bodies,
need nursing.

STUDENTS. NOTICE. !
Every male student in the
University, civilian as well as
military, is required to re-enroll
with the secretary of his school
or college immediately beginning
with Wednesday, Dec. 11. Start-
ing with this date, civilian stu-
dents should re-register at once,
S. A. T. C. men as soon as dis-
charged, naval unit men as soon
as released. Discharge and re-
lease papers should be brought
and exhibited.
This is needed because the
demobilization of the S. A. T. C.
and the releasing of the naval
unit men necessitates achange
in status and address and a set-
tlement of fees among most of
the men students.

10's Your Father" SUNSHINE COMEDY UNIVERSAL WEEKLY
SUNDAY and MONDAY
Detroit (Correspondence of Associ-
ated Press).-An industry bornof the
great war and yet not to do directly
with the war and one that is destined
to solve the nation's traffic problems
and help eliminate railway and other
shipping congestion is that developed
in the made ground of a filled in
marsh on the Detroit river, - the
building of concrete canal boats.
Hundreds of these boats, for the han-
dling of freight just as it is handled
in freight cars, being towed from the
lakes to the Atlantic coast, down the
state canals of New York, helping
prevent the placing of embargoes on
products of the west and middle west
so badly needed in the east, is the
dream of those back of their manu-
facture. The project has passed, too,
beyond the experimental stage and it
seems that the dream is about to be
realized.
The barges are being constructed
for the Inland Waterways commis-
sion, under the direction of the rail-
road administration and, although
doubtless the craft would have been
used in handling to the seaboard great
tonnages of foodstuffs and war mate-
rials, had the war continued, their
building was not intended essentially
as a war project. Eventually, it is
understood, the government will en-
courage placing many hundreds of
these craft in commission.
The five boats being built here are
to be used for the hauling of wheat
and flour from Buffalo and Tonawan-
da, N. Y., to the port of New York.
The wheat will be taken aboard from
the great elevators at the foot of Lake
Erin while the flour will be unloaded
directly from the big lake carriers
into the canal boats' holds at Buffa-
lo, requiring but the one handling in
trans-shipping.
The concrete vessel has been tried
and tested and declared practicable
by the United States government.
Their cost, it is declared, is less than
that of similar boats of wood or steel
construction, while their weight is
less and their strength and carrying
capacity greater. They are practi-
cally unsinkable and they need neith-
er painting or repairing, cost of up-
keep being negligible. In a collision
with a steel or wooden freghter the
concrete vessel would come off prac-
tically unharmed, it is maintained, so
solidly are they built.
The canal boats are each 150 feet
in length, with beam of 21 feet and a
12-foot hold. They draw but two
feet, 10 inches, when completed and
floated, and when loaded to the depth
capacity of the Newv York state can-
al-nine feet, six inches-carry 500
tons, although their capacity is much
greater than that. When completed
there is not a seam in the hull, which
is all one piece, like an earthen dish,
absolutely watertight and making
pumping unnecessary.

AT THE MAJESTIC
Beautiful Dorothy Dalton in her
latest Paramount picture, "Green
Eyes," will be seen for the last time
tonight at the Majestic. A Sunshine
comedy, "Who's Your Father," fully
rounds out the program. "Green Eyes"
is one of Miss Dalton's biggest hits.
"The Marriage Ring," a Thomas H.
Ince production featuring Enid Ben-
nett, comes to the Majestic -tomor-
row for a two days' run. The fact that
it is an Ince film guarantees its qual-
ity for Mr. Ince is far-famed in his
work in producing well-staged, beau-
tifully-lighted, and flickerless reels.
The Ince stamp of individuality is al-
ways evident too. "The Marriage
Ring" is no exception unless it be
that this film is even better than most
of Mr. Ince's productions.
The latest Mark Sennett comedy,
"Summer Girls," featuring Ford
Sterling, will be the comedy feature
tomorrow and Monday. There are
some swimmers in the big tank scene
that include most of the famous Sen-
nett beauties as well as a number of
trained seals. At times it is difficult
to judge which swims better, girl or
beast, but there certainly is no chance
for an argument as to which Is the
more shapely.

MAY REORGANIZE
ORATORICAL CLUB
Prof. R. D. T. Hollister and the com-
mittee of the Oratorical association
are at present working on a plan for
the reorganization of oratorical clubs.
The association as it now exists is
open to every one on the campus. The
new plan is to restrict membership
incljding only those who are inter-
ested in oratory and debating.
The new organization will have1
three aims: They will try to raise
a greater interest in speaking con-
tests. They also are developing a
plan whereby they may bring many
speakers here during the year. And
last they will try to foster a greater
interest in the literary and dramatic
societies.
The plan will be presented at the
next meetings of the Athena, Ade
phi, and Alpha Nu societies for dis-
cussion. It is intended that after
the Christmas holidays the plan will
be put before the student body to be
voted upon.
FEW RENEGADES FOUND AMONG
POPULATION OF BELGIUM
Bruges (Correspondence of the As-
sociated Press). - Corporal punish-
ment is visited upon pro-Germans
among the Belgian men but few of
these awaited the wrath of the Bel-
gian avengers. They decamped be-
fore the Belgian troops reoccupied the
cities and towns which had been held
under German domination.
Such cases as these have been re-
markably few. The wonder is that
there have not been more. The pro-
portion of renegades is so small as
to reflect greater glory on poor lit-
tle Belgium.
As a whole the civil population of
Belgium has remained wonderfully
loyal. By their system of communal
administration they were enabled to
govern themselves while the German
It
Army and navy men, who have
been unable to subscribe for the
1919 Michiganensian on account
of not being paid, may do so dur-
ing the rest of this week in
Room 1, Press building, from 2
to 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
was deluding himself that he was
ruling. It enabled them to endure
physical privations suffer death and
resist the insidious propaganda of the
German governors Von Bissing and
his successor Von Falkenhausen who
attempted to separate the Walloons
from the Flemish and to poison the
wells of Belgium's patriotism.

Paris, (Correspondence of the Asso-
ciated Piess). - The condition of
American* war prisoners in German
prison camps was to some extent
ameliorated by the work of Conrad
Hoffman, an American Y. M. C. A.
owrker, who was permitted to remain
in Berlin after most other Americans
had either left or had been interned.
Hoffman convinced the German gov-
ezinment that the more he was allow-
ed to do for the American prisoners
in Germany the better would fare Ger-
man prisoners in American hands. He
was allowed to employ neutrals as
his assistants on his promise that
members of his organization would not
act as spies or propagandists, but
solely to improve the physical andj
mental welfare of the prisoners.
Largely through Hoffman's efforts,
it. is now stated, prisoner's help com-
mittees were organized in all prison
camps in Germany containing Amer-
icans and their needs were communi-
cated to Mr. Hoffman who forwarded
them to A. C. Harte, international Y.
M. C. A.,secretary in Berne, Swit-
zerland.
Both the Red Cross and the Y. M.
C. A. co-operated in supplying the
prisoners with food, clothing, money
and other necessaries operating
through that channel. Many letters
have been received at Y. M. C. A.
headquarters in Paris from the Amer-
ican prisoners of war in Germany tes-
tifying to the receipt of this aid.
