Music Notes Men's voices are greatly needed in the Choral union. The number of women enrolling this year far exceeds that of former years. A membership fee of $2.50 is charged which includes admission to all concerts given throughout the year. A deposit of $1.50 is also required for music which is returned at the conclusion of the choral work. Try-outs will be held from 9:30 to 11 o'clock and from 3:30 to 5 o'clock every day this week in Professor Stanley's office, at the Uni- 7ersity School of Music. Professor Stanley has chosen Gou- nod's "Faust" as one of the works to be sung at the May Festival. The oth- er has not yet been decided upon. The organization of the University Symphony orchestra has been defer- red temporarily on account of the stu- dents' army training corps. Mrs. Bacher, dean of women at the School of Music, will speak to all wo- men of the school at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in Frieze hall. Single tickets for the Caruso con- cert will be sold at 8 o'clock Satur- day morning at the School of Music instead of at Hill auditorium as pre- viously announced. Mail orders re- ceived before Friday night will be fill- ed in order of application in advance of the public sale. A limited num- ber of good seats are left on each floor. REQUEST STUDENTS' iD FOR 1ILL-CLADBELGIANS LETTER RECEIVED DESCRIBES APPALLING LACK OF SUPPLIES A communication to President Har- ry B. Hutchins from the Commission for Relief in Belgium asks the stu- dents of the University to seriously consider the acute clothing needs of Belgium and the North of France. The letter says in part: "The desti- tute of the occupied regions are in a pitiable physical condition after their four. years of constantly growing de- privation. The health of a large pro- portion of the population is undermin- ed by suffering. Coincidently with this condition, the disappearance of clothing and supplies has become al- most complete. With such a lack of protection against inclement weather, the suffering that awaits the debili- tated poor during the coming winter. and the appalling consequences that will inevitably follow are plain." Appeal to Students In the work of supplying this nec- essary clothing the commission ap- peals to the college students to con- tribute their worn and unused gar- ments. The students of the University who wish to donate should take their contributions to the Belgian Relief of- fice in the Cornwell building, which is located at the corner of Fourth and Huron streets. The office is open from 10 o'clock in the morning to 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Those not able to take the clothes to the office should call Mrs. G. W. Patterson, phone num- ber 2214. She will make arrange- ments to collect the packages provid- ing the person leaves them on the porch of his or her home. Shoes and wearing apparel of all kinds are wanted.

SUMMER SCHOOL WELL ATTENDEDDESPITE WAR 250 FEWER MEN AND 100 MORE WOMEN ENROLLED; WAR COURSES POPULAR Summer school attendance of the past session shows conclusively that Michigan students paid heed to Presi- dent Wilson's letter of last spring, ad- vising students to remain in school in order to get as much education as possible. Figures for the distribution of stu- dents in the summer of 1918 as com- pared with those of 1917 show 250 few- er men and 100 more women than the previous year. The literary college leads in increased enrollment, having an attendance of 655 as against 583 in 1917. All other colleges show a slight decrease - engineering, 362 to 299 (engineering figures do not include the mechanics); Medical school, 189 to 160 (these do not include the sen- ior medics); Graduate school, 255 to 149; Law school, 86 to 38; Pharmacy school, 25 to 18. A special drafting course for women contained 46. The figures also show that a larger proportion of students were younger than former years. During the regu- lar college year 50 per cent of the students are under 21. During the summer session of 1918, 393 out of 1,- 304 were under age, as compared with 255 out of 1,449 of the previous year. War courses of all descriptions were well attended, among them being a course on "The Great War," given by Prof. E. R. Turner, "Foods and Food Values," in which a special certificate was conferred by the federal food ad- ministration, "Practical Hygiene," by Dr. W.E. Forsythe, "Community Prob- lems," A. E. Wood, in which home ser- vice was stressed, and a course in navigation by Prof. W. C. Rufus. A series of lectures was given by some prominent faculty man or out- of-town lecturer every afternoon and evening, during the sunimer session, 17 of the number being on war topics. Among the speakers were: Major Jules Bellot of the French army, and Rabbi Eli Myers, of Philadelphia. Dean Kraus seemed well satisfied with the summer session both as to at- tendance and results produced. Other universities, especially California and Wisconsin which are grouped with Michigan as having engineering schools, showed a greater decrease in the number of students. CALL ISSUED FOR WOMEN WORKERS Lansing, Oct. 8.-Women of the state of Michigan are called upon t replace men in non-essential indus- tries, according to a telegram receiv- ed by H. N. Duff, of the Michigan war preparedness board, from Nathan A. Smyth, assistant director-general of the United States employment serv- ice. The dispatch reads: "Relocation of total labor demands among the states will be made at once. The requirements in your state will tax your utmost efforts. They can be filled only by getting men fro:n non-essentials. Community labor boards must expedite combing non- essentials and replace men by wom- en. Make clear to the people of your state their duty in the emergency. "Element of risk- in shell-loading plants will deter no real man or wom- an. Americans are not afraid either in the trenches or at posts of danger at home." UPPER PENINSULA. IS HARD HIT BY INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC Petoskey, Oct. 8.-Schools and coru- merce in northern Michigan are par- alyzed as a result of the influenza epidemic. PrivateHenry Johnecheck of Charlevoix, home on a furlough froni Camp Custer is one of the three who are victims. Schools, theatres and pool rooms are closed and stores are without clerks. Factories are de- cidedly handicapped from lack of la- borers. Medical assistance is lacki ig due to the large number of doctors and nurses who are ill. In Levering, two members of the draft board and all of the clerks are ill, hence the examination of men is suspended. Delmonico's Bankrupt; Claims $799 New York, Oct. 9.-Delmonico's, tha celebrated New York restaurant, pass- ed into the hands of the receivers Sat- urday upon petition of three creditors whose total claims amounted to only $799.13.

Main St. PNEUMONIA NEWS STRICTLY CENSORED AT CAMP GRANT Camp Grant, Ill., Oct. 8.-Strict cen- sorship prevails at Camp Grant. No names of soldiers nor the number of deaths from pneumonia are allowed to be published. Before this recent or- der of Col. Charles B. Hagadorn, act- ing commander, 535 deaths had been reported, and surgeons feared that the crisis had not as yet been reached. New cases are decreasing, but the death rate is high. Favorable reports are that the hos- pital admission rate was cut to 112 new patients, and several hundred have been discharged.vThe convales cents will not be allowed to go home, as has been the custom, but must rest up in camp. This is to avoid the spread of the epidemic among the ci- vilian population. Col. J. Connor of the surgeon generl's office, reported favorably after inspection of the base hospital. Prospects Look Good for Cold Winter Fire which began last Sunday in thi winter coal supply at the University power house, is still burning. The original pile of thousands of tons must be moved to a new place. As this change is made the fire is being ex- tinguished by water. In view of the fact that there is a shortage of help, it will take nearly a week before the fire is completely put out. It is said that probably two or three car loads of inferior coal which was mixed with the pile caused spontane- ous combustion. The fire is entirely under control as far as its danger is concerned, and the loss caused by it is mainly that of the transferance of the pile.
