A. T. C. as Barracks Vacated by MICHIGAN TO GET EDUCATION BUREAU Michigan is tosbe one of the dozen large universities of the country to be honored with a sub-bureau of ed- ucation. The bureau appoints col- laborators onsrecommendation and approves all research work. The pur- pose of the government in establish- ing these sub-bureaus is to stimu- late work along educational lines just as agriculture is stimulated by exper- iment stations. "The sub-bureau will be of great practical value, not only to the Uni- versity, but to educational enterpris- es in general," said Prof. A. S. Whit- ney. "The bureau here will be sup- plied with stationery, literature, and questionnaires and will be granted the franking privilege. In this way the distribution of literature for illit- eracy campaigns and other education- al work will be greatly facilitated." The collaborators appointed are to receive only a nominal salary. By means of these stations, it is hoped, a co-operative relationship will be4 established with the bureau of edu- cation at Washington. RUSSIAN PIANIST GIVES PROGRAM OF NOVELTYPE TECHNIQUE CHARACTERIZES HIS PLAYING; REPRESENTS NEW ORDER, Demobilization of the S. A. T. C. was completed yesterday when Com- panies 15 and 16 were disbanded. With the discharge of the men in these companies the post here now consists of only Company 17 and the head- quarters and medical units. This leaves only 129 men stationed here, 112 of whom are in Company 17,' most of which will probably be sent to Camp Custer when this post is discontinued. Besides the enlisted men there are the 51 officers who have been in charge of the unit. They have all been given physical examina- tions and those who will leave the army are ready for discharge. Those who will remain in service are await- ing further orders. It is expected at headquarters that the order to dis- charge those who wish it will arrive within a week or 10 days. The men formerly members of the engineers reserve corps, placed in. Company ,17 because they have not been assigned serial numbers by the war department, will not go to Camp Custer with the rest of the company but will be allowed to remain in the UTniversity. The last of the fraternity houses aed. by the S. A. T. C. as barracks were vacated yesterday. The houses left vacant yesterday were: the Aca- cia, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Theta Phi, and Psi Upsilon, The S. A. T. C. men left the houses in as good order In way of cleanliness as could be ex- pected and the University workmen will begin to repair them immedi- diately, NO WOBMEN TO BE IN UNION OUPERA Sufficient Male Talent on Hand; Wo/k to Start Next Month NO MATERIAL AND DATES YET GIVEN FOR PRODUCTION Only men students will take part in the 1919 Union opera, which was made a certainty yesterday by vote of the directors of the Union upon recommendation of Mimes. "Although the directors are grate- ful to the women of the campus for their assistance rendered last year, it was decided that there is sufficient male talent on the campus now and women will not be asked to take part," said Donald M. Springer, '19E, president of the Union. No Material Offered No book, lyrics, or music have yet been turned in, but there will be a call for such- material within a week. A book was accepted last spring but the composer did not re- turn to school this fall and the book was never finished. Definite Dates Not Made Committee's will be appointed, and work toward launching the produc- tion will be started immediately aft- er the Christmas holidays. Try-outs for the cast and chorus will be call- ed for and rehearsals will begin as soon as a book is accepted. The opera is to be produced in the latter part of March, though the definite dates were not decided upon. The securing of a director for the opera was considered but no one was appointed. This will be done at the next meeting of the board.r EVERYONE TO TAKE PART IN CONCERT The regular twilight recital to be given at 3 o'clock this afternoon in Hill auditorium under the auspices of the University School of Music in co- operation with the War Camp Commu- nty service, will be quite unusual in that it will consist for the most part of community singing. During the past few months much of this kind of music has been provided for the sold- iers and it is now planned to provide like programs from time to time for the public. James Hamilton, of the vocal faculty of the School of Music, will add to the familiar hymns, and patriotic songs which will be sung by the audience, by singing a group of "Negro Spirituals" which have been arranged for solo voice by Burleigh. The general public is cordially in- vited to the concert, for which no ad- mission will be charged, but parents are requested to refrain from bring- ing small children. The program is as follows: "America," "Onward Christian Sold- iers," "Come All Ye Faithful," "There's a Long, Long Trail," "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," "Keep the Home Fires Burning," "Negro Spirituals," "Sinner, Please Don't Let This Har- ves' Pass," "Nobody Knows the Trou- ble I've Seen," "My Way's Cloudy," "Prayer of Thanksgiving"-Old Neth- erland folk song, "Old Black Joe," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," "God of Our Fathers," "O God, Our Help in Ages Past," "Star-Spangled Ban- ner." Accompaniments will .be furnished by Dorothy Wines and Byrton Gar- linhouse, '17E, and by Fischer's or- chestra.} It is estimated that about 600 stu- dents attended the initial all-cam. pus mixer of the year, which was held yesterday afternoon in Barbour gymnasium. There were men, girls, laws, engineers, fat, slim, long, and short - a true all-campus affair. Dance, music, and partners' feet made the time pass all too quickly, and oc- casionally the music stopped to allow the dust to settle. About 500 tickets were sold and over $100 was cleared. Ice cream cones helped rejuvenate the tired ones. The money will go to the general fund of the Women's league under whose di- rection the affair was given. The idea of a mixer was well received from the start, and it is hoped that this will not be the last one.

COMMISSION LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS NECESSARY--U.S. HEAL Newspapers Land Arrival of Ameri cans; Greatest Event Since Ene of Hostilities (By Associated Press) 'RED CROSS ORGAIZES FOR ROLLCALL DRIVE CAMPAIGN STARTS DECEMBER 18; ALL STUDENTS WILL BE SOLICITED Ann Arbor's first all-Russian con- cert was received with interest by the large audience which heard Serge Prokofieff, at Hill auditorium last night. The Russian pianist and com- poser made his first appearance here with a program entirely of his own composition with the exception of two numbers. Genius and remarkable technique characterized his perform- ance, but the unfamiliarity of this type of muic puzzled rather than pleased most of his hearers. Still there is no doubt that the artist has genius and remarkable technique. Occasional flashes of fire brought applause and the preludes of Serge Rachmaninoff made a considerable impression. Prokofieff's own compo- sitions lack the expected Russian strain found in Tchaikowsky and represent a new order of Russian music. The final number, "Sugges- tion diabolique," was probably the most popular of the entire program. Ol' Santa Here; Where's Weather? BOARD IN CONTROL ELECTS OFFICERS At a meeting of the Board in Con- trol of student publications held yes- terday, Prof. Fred N. Scott, of the rhetoriq department, was re-elected chairman, which he has been since its ipstitution. Donald M. Springer, 0E, the only student member of the board, was elected secretary. A report explaining the.new arrange- x 1ent in regard to publications made necessary by the S. A. T. C. and stu- dents enlisting in other branches of gervice- was read by Prof. . R. Sun- derland, of the' law school and treas- urerpianager of the board. The editors and business managers of nearly all the publications appointed for this ear failed to return to school or joined the S, A. T. C. This neces- sitated making new appointments, and, in the case of The Daily and the Gar- goyle, securing editors who are not students in the University. The two men who were elected to the board with Springer last May, en- listed during the summer. The places left vacant by these men will proba- bly not be filled as it is hard to cre- gte enough interest in a single elec- tion such as this would be to get a representative vote, according to Pro- fessor Sunderland. The Student Directory, which was ready to go to press when the order for demobilization of the S. A. T. C. arrived, has postponed publication until January. It will be necesgry to gather the names and new address- es of the men who remain in school. There will be no difficulty in gather- ing this data after the men have reg- istered. HOLIDAY GARGOYLE PLAYS UP FACULTY Yesterday saw the Gargoyle with us again with all the Santa Claus stuff and ex-war dope. In spite of the re- cent and long-continued rain, the red and snowy cover by Margaret Jewell, '20, gave out some real Christmas pep. This issue abounded in subtle and clever irony on subjects and persons much in the campus limelight. Snap- py cuts on the newly released fight- ers who have been among our midst and some of the notorious characters Michigan has produced were scatter- ed through the pamphlet. A humorous and very, very, inti- mate biography of a well-known dean was one of the features and exposed many characteristics that were not given to the public ear before. With one of the best issues yet, the Gargoyle met with enthusiasm yester- day and today the jokes and jibes are being quoted by all. CIVILIAN STUDENTS' SECOND ENROLLMENT NEAR COMPLETION All but a few of the civilian men students in the literary and engineer- ing colleges have completed their re-enrollment, according to the office reports. In the literary college about 100 men recently discharged from the S. A. T. C. have, thus far, made their s(-ond enrollment. This number is expected to increase rapidly during the ir i part of next week. In urder that those civilian stu- .dents who have not yet re-enrolled might not have a misunderstanding as to what i required of them, it is repeated that they will have to re- register the same as do the men in the military organizatiuns here. The latter, however, are required to bring their papers showing that they have been discharged. MICHIGAN TO HAVE MOTOR LABORATORY Col. Walter Fishleigh requested of the Regents of the University last Friday that a certain appropriation be made for a laboratory and equip- ment for research work in automobile engineering, and his request was fav- orably received. Colonel Fishleigh, who has been in charge of all the automobiles and mo- tor trucks used bythe United States in this war, expects his discharge soon. The faculty have known for some time that Colonel Fishleigh has long wished to devote himself to sci- eritific research. The regents have promised him a large appropriation for an up-to-date automobile labora- tory equipment for his work. It is expected that Colonel Fish- leigh will be able to take up his du- ties at the beginning of the next semester. SERBIAN REGENT WOULD FORM JUGO-SLAY UNITED STATES Brussels (Havas agency), Dec. 14. -Crown Prince Alexander, regent of Serbia, is engaged in the formation of a government representing all po- litical groups in the Jugo-Slavic coun- tries, he declared in an interview at Belgrade today. Hs program con- sists of the organization of united states, on the basis of equality for all sections. The prince said that he expected to see President Wilson during his trip through France and England. The public opinion of the people of Serbia is unanimous in desiring to maintain the relations formed during the war. BEG YOUR PARDON! The resignation of Mr. Linton A. Wood, of the engineering department, and not N. A. Wood, as was announc- ed in yesterday's Daily, was acceptedE by the Board of Regents at their last meeting. Again Santa Claus mysteriously ap- pears in the store windows, and the small boy wriggles contemplatively before the display of trains, autos, dynamos, wagons, and marbles that appear too far away behind the glass. The butcher and the baker are in- venting goodies undreamed of, and the candle-stick maker is coming in- to his own again. For mother and sister, this year, will have a candle in the window to light the lonely traveler on the way, with the hidden hope that their boys over there may follow its feeble gleams, and find their way home on Christmas eve. The professors also know the sea- son is approachingsand plan on giv- ing all their presents the Wednesday before vacation, quite overwhelming the students by their generosity. Christmas this year means more to the S. A. T. C. men than just ordinary Christmas. It means the date of his release from "active" military duty, when he can follow his own desires once more. The best present of them all for him, will be his discharge pa- pers. Yea, verily, everybody knows Christ- mas is coming, except the weather man. NEW SERIES OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS TO BE ISSUED SOON A new series of war savings stamps will be issued at the beginning of the year. This series will mature one year later than those which have been sold during the past year, which will be payable in 1922. Thrift stamps will purchase these "baby" bonds in just the same way that they have in the past. War savings stamps may be re- deemed at any time by notifying the postoffice department ten days in ad- vance, according to Postmaster H. J. Abbott. But the money raised by the sale of W. S. S. is needed by the gov- ernment, and if it is taken back be fore the stamps mature, the necessary money will have to be raised by taxes. About 200 people will be employed in the canvass for Red Cross mem- berships in Ann Arbor which will be- gin Wednesday, Dec. 18. Charles F. Kyer, as chairman of the Red Cross Christmas roll call committee, will direct the work, and will be assisted by the following captains: First ward, Charles Hutzel; second, Albert Staebler; third, Clarence Shankland; fourth, David Rinsey; fifth, George Spathelf; sixth, George Vandewalker; seventh, E. T. Cope; factories, George Fischer. Drive Lasts Three Days The drive, which is for member- ships only, will be of three days' dura- tion. Solicitations will be made of all students, homes, business places, and factories. The work of solicit- ing in the various wards will be un- der the supervision of the ward cap- tains.tThe captains will divide their respective wards into districts, each district to have two workers. The memberships in the Red Cross are of six classes: annual, $1; maga- zine, $2; contributing, $5; sustaining, $10; life, $50, and patron, $100. Membership for One Year Only memberships' accepted after Sept. 1, 1918, will be considered as 1919 memberships and counted as part of the chaiter's Red Cross Christmas roll call enrollment. Names must be reported on this basis daily to the ward captains. Children will not be solicited, but will join through the regular junior auxiliaries. Any person who takes out a sub- scription in the Christmas drive be- comes a member of the Red Cross for a year. Many people hold member- ships which extend into 1919, but they will be asked to waive the un- expired portion and take out a roll call one. PHI SIGMA TO ADD 9 NEW MEMBERS The fall initiation banquet of the Michigan chapter of Phi Sigma na- tional honorary biological society will be held Monday evening at Lane hall. The following men will be initiated at this time: Dr. J. H. Ehlers, Prof. G. R. La- Rue, Dr. L. H. Newburgh, Dr. A. J. Will, F. R. Allen, '21M, W. Bowen, '19L, J. C. Ludmick, '22M, S. J. Ship- man, '19M, and C. N. Weller, '20M. Major Field Spends .Week-End Here1 Major Peter Field, formerly profes-1 sor of mathematics in the engineer- ing department, is visiting in Ann Ar- bor over the week-end. Major FieldI entered the coast artillery service of the United States army when the war broke out and is now stationed at they proving' ground school. He expects' to receive his discharge the latter part1 of January.I Paris, Dec. 14.-This is a greater night in Paris than even on the night of the signing of the armistice. The city is ablaze. The boulevards are thronged with dancers and singers. The palaces have been turned into great dancing pavilions and "Ameri- que" is the prevailing wprd here to- night. President and Mrs. Wilson made their entry into Paris this morning, greeted by the entire population of the city and the surrounding country as well. They were greeted person- ally by President Poincare and other prominent leaders of the republic. Wilson Stands for New Ideals Entire France has been stirred by the arrival of the President of the United States as by no other person- age. Everywhere he was greeted as a representative of the new ideals now dawning upon Europe. In the eyes of the crowds, say newspaper re- ports in the city, President Wilson represents two forces - the force which won the war, and the force which will make permanent peace. Soldiers Push Back Crowd The French army lined the streets of the city. Fresh from the battle- fields, it occupied the post of honor and, served as guards. Gently but firmly the soldiers kept order among the enormous crowd which ever press- ed forward to see the guest of France. In two speeches made here today, President Wilson reaffirmed that the making of peace and the creation of' a league of nations must be accom- plished as one single objective. Re- sponding to the welcome of Presi- dentPoincare at luncheon in his hon- or, President Wilson declared that the winning of the war was not enough alone. He said that the peo- ple of the United Stateshad entered it with the object of making a perm- anent peace. League of Nations Necessary Responding to the greeting of the Socialists, he reiterated his state- ments that the war had been a peo- ples' war and that the defeat of the military autocracy was not sufficient to the fulfilling of the object. He again decla'ed that the co-operation of the nations for the security of the peace to be made was necessary. To Visit England on Way Home (By Associated Press) London, Dec. 14.--President Wilson has accepted an invitation from Kig George to visit England, and it is expected that he wll stop here on his way home. The British officials are awaiting the arrival of Ambassador Davis, before making any arrange- ments for the entertainment of the president. NAVY RULES PAVE WAY TO SUCCESS "Follow what we have tried to teach you here in the navy and you will be successful in after life," said Lieut. Allen L. Porter, navy medical officer, at the last inspection yester- day of Co. C, Barracks 28. "There are five precepts which you have been taught here that will insure success anywhere," he said. "Keep your shoes shined; keep your trousers pressed; keep your teeth brushed; keep your hair brushed; and above all keep a stiff upper lip. Follow these rules and no one need ever know how much money you have in your pockets." Lieutenant Porter thanked the men for their co-4peraton and compli- mented them on the neatness of their barracks. He said that he was great. ly pleased with the appearance and progress of the entire naval unit. M. R. lTing, '20, to Speak on America M. A.
