THE HICHIGAN DAILY wI1111 F I1 L1111 11.1 IL1111 SANTA CLAUS FOR KIDS CHILDREN TO HAVE REGULAR HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES THIS YEAR Goodfellowship plans for bringing Christmas to Ann Arbor children are in full swing. Several more children have been provided for, making a total of 17 kiddies to have their Christmas stockings filled. Sororities and 'dorm- itories are doing their part, and it is up to the league house girls to show their good will by providing dolls without which no little girl's Christ- mas is quite complete. Dolls to be dressed may be procured at Barbour gymnasium, or girls can buy dolls and dress them, or they can give money for this purpose. Any girl who can imagine what a dreary day Christmas is without a dolly will have no trouble in denying herself a few sodas and making a little girl happy. Three league houses, at least, are spreading Christmas cheer. The hous- es at 1020 South University, 1331 Washtenaw, and 745 East University avenues are uniting to dress a little girl. Newberry residence is taking two children to dress, and Alpha Chi Omega, one. Alumnae house is pro- viding for a whole family. The Col- legiate Sorosis is going to supply all the children at the University hospit- al with stockings and toques. Pi Beta Phi is giving a party Thursday after- noon for all children at the Univer- sity hospital who are well enough to, Sirens "Let Go" y liritish Fleet London.-A vast chorus of siren whistles from a thousand fighting ships split the air when the British Grand Fleet received the news of the signing of the armistice. First the 30-mile line of vessels sprang into light. Then, suddenly, the great fleet of battleships, cruisers, torpedo de- stroyers, mine-layers and patrols unit- ed in one huge, synchronized diapson that startled the hearers for a radius of a hundred miles. The tremendous sound re-echoed amongst the hills on both shores, awesome in its inten- sity. A hundred searchlights, which for four years had resolutely watched the skies, or peered steadfastly along dark waters for enemy craft, merrily criss- crossed about the sky. Flares were lit, star shells fired, and here and there some ofsthergreater ships were fortunate in a fireworks display. For 60 minutes the fleet threw off all reserve and let itself go. At 9 o'clock the sirens suddenly silenced, the lights snapped out and the Grand Fleet was again waiting and watch- ing and ready, and scarcely had the last sounds died away than from the Admiral's ships there were winking at the masthead the orders Cor fur- ther duty. I STUDENTS! NOTICE! Mrs, T. 1. Stoddard HAIR SHOP PURE LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS 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. 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 a change in status and address and a set- tlement of fees among most of the men students. SHIRLEY W.

"I like to play for students," said Serge Sergievitch Prokofieff, Russian pianist and composer, yesterday aft- ernoon. "I played often for the Uni- versity of Petrograd and they were al- ways the most responsive and sympa- thetic of my audiences." Prokofieff's work is mostly creative and he is among those men who are not satisfied with the old and seek self-expression along the niew inde- pendent of adverse criticism, though he has been received with great ei - thusiasm by New York critics, he is returning to Chicago now to complete arrangements with Campanini, direc- tor-general of the Chicago Opera com- pany for whom he is to compose an opera and libretto. The plot involves several sketches taken from Carlo Gozzi..1" Prokofieff came to this country by way of Siberia. It took 16 days to go from Moscow to Vladivostok and his was the next last train to cross the border. The Bolshevik were in abso- lute power and there were conse- quently no counter revolutions and no opposition. He was fortunate to get a pass, but though the Bolshevik hate the nobles and the wealthy they seem to treat artists with respect because they believe they serve the masses through their art and so educate them.
