They wish to serve Rus- sia unselfishly and invite all organ- ized groups in Siberia, or within the boundaries of European Russia as it stood before the war, to send the rep- resentatives to Princes Island to meet representatives of the associated powers, provided there is a truce of arms meanwhile.

C. during its stay in Ann Arbor are paid, Major Ralph H. Durkee will remain here, according to his statement yesterday, as it is necessary for him to sign for all the money that is to be paid out. When he has settled all the affairs, he will notify the district head at Chi- cago that he is ready for discharge. Major Durkee thinks that this will not come about for at least two weeks. There are still 15 honorable dis-I charge blanks that have not been turned in, one or two having come in lately. Those that have not come in are almost entirely from men who are not in school. The other officers who are still here are Lieuts. G. I. Back, Leo R. Walter, and E. J. Stotter. These men will remain here until they are noti- fied that their work has been satis- factorily completed. NEW UNION TO BE SCENE OF SMOKER Tickets are selling rapidly for the annual all-medic smoker to be held next Monday evening in the banquet hall of the new Union. Numerous committee members, appointed from the different classes, have so canvass- ed the Medical school that practically every faculty member, intern, and student is wearing one of the little blue tags. Considerable interest is being arous- ed from the fact that this will be the first student function of any impor- tance to be held in the new Union building. The medic mixer marks enother evi- dence of the return of the campus to its normal pre-war condition. It is the first smoker to be held on the cam- pus this year by any other than a mil- itary organization. All of these factors, combined with the statement from the committee in charge that the program will be the snappiest and most effective ever pre- sented to a medic audience, are ex- pected to produce a record turnout from the northeast corner of the cam- pus. POLITICAL ISSUE FEATURES REVIEW - "The Theory of Popular Soyereign- ty," by Harold J. Laski, of Harvard, is one of a number of articles of popular interest in the January Law Review which came out yesterday. Frederick Thulin, a Chicago lawyer and a public accountant, has an ar- ticle on "Domestic Corporate Tangible and Intangible Property." In his con- tribution, Mr. Thulin discusses a prob- lem in connection with the present tax law which has proved dificult to most men of the legal profession. In this issue Prof. Myron W. Walk- ins, of Missouri, concludes a series of three articles on federal corporation. A section on "Recent Important De- ci:on s," and f "Book Reviews," con- clu des the number. Johnson Calls Meeting of Junior Lits Carl Johnson, president of the ju- nior lits, 1a called a meeting of that class to* be held at 4 o'clock Thurs- day afternoon In room 203 University hall. Plans for the J-Hop will be discussed.

Hall. Eachv report contains the standing of thei student up to Oct. 1, 1918, and includesh the number of hours and points as well as any deficiencies the studentn may have in any of the groups. . t "Because of the disturbed conditions this year, the list of seniors is prob- a ably not accurate," Registrar Haillt said yesterday. Every senior who doest not receive his report within the next few days, is therefore asked to call at the Registar's office and place hisd name upon the list. Those who are to graduate at thet end of this semester, second semester,. or summer session, should have theirn names on this list. Although therea are only about 400 on this tentativet list, the number will be considerably increased by the seniors who return the second semester. ORATORICAL CLUBS TO ,HOLD CONTESTS Plans are being formulated for an extemporanious speaking contest tov be held during the second semester,v according to Mr. R. K. Immel, of theg oratory department.

MICHIGAN'S UNIT TO RETURN SOON1 "Michigan's Unit," is the title by which American Base Hospital, No. 17, is sometimes known. The unit, under - the command of Col. Angus McLean, was recruited in Detroit and many Michigan men are in it. It is ex- pected that its probable return within th4 next month will bring many of1 these men back to University life. Members of the unit who are 'Iich- igan men are: Robert Breakey, ex-1 '20, son of Capt. J. F. Breakey, '94, a medical officer in the unit; Henry Lane, '17L; Victor Husted, ex-'19E; Robert Tannahill, '15; Sherwood Reekie, ex-'19; Frederick Lyon, ex-'19; Crampton Finn, ex-19; Charles Horr, ex-'19; Sherman Fitzsimons, ex-'19E; Frank McVeigh, ex-'20E; Donald Mab- ley, ex-'19; Melbourne Smallpage, ex-'18.

INSTRUCTOR COMPETES FOR SPOTLIGHT FAME FACULTY MAN AND MANY STU- DENTS AT TRY OUTS FOR VAUDEVILLE: Faculty competed with students last night in an effort to gain a place on1 the program of the Spotlight Vaude- ville, slated for Feb. 28. A certain instructor, prompted by a desire to help the American University union: in Paris, volunteered to furnish a number, and it is thought probable that his offer will be accepted. As for the student talent present at the tryouts, it was there in quan- tity and quality. Making the selec- tions will probably be the most dif- ficult task of the chairman when the1 final tryout is held at 7 o'clock Mon- day evening in the old Union. At the preliminarytests last night there were instrumentalists, vocalists, impersonators, acrobats, hypnotists,i magicians, dancers, and comedians- an array which fully met the expec- tations of those in charge. POLISH VIOLINIST TO PLAY SATURDAY Numbering among the many fea- tures in the Polish concert Saturday night in the High School auditorium, will be Mr. Jan Szulczewski, a young violin virtuoso, graduate of the Chica- go Conservatory of Music. Mr. Szulczewski is an exponent of the doctrine that he performer of the music is of greater importance than the music itself-that the music is merely a medium through which the performer may play upon the emo- tions of his hearers. Mr. Szulczewski, who has appeared in a number of recitals in South Bend, Ind., and Chicago, will render the Sec- ond Polonaise Brillante. His sister, Miss F. Szulczewski, a promising pian- ist, also of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, will present Sherzo B fiat minor. Miss Jeanette Kruszka, who will render a Paderewski ballet and Schar- wenka's dance, is. distinctly a Polish dancer and not a Russian one as was sated in the headline yesterday morn- ing. AUER'S PUPIL TO * APPEAR ON FEB. 8 Another pupil of Leopold Auer's, Toscha Seidel, Russian violinist, will appear Saturday evening, Feb. 8, in Hill auditorium at the fourth coicert in the Choral union series. Mr. Seidel is the last of the three great, young violinists who created such a sensation in America last sea- son; the other two being Jascha Heifetz and Max Rosen. The names of these three have been linked to gether as representing almost a new development in violin playing. - All three are Russians, all are practically of the same age, 18, and all were by the same master, Leopold Auer.,°. Rosen was heard in Ann Arbor last year. This year the public will have the opoprtunity of hearing the second member of the great trio. Wire ulletins (By Associated Press) Dublin, Jan. 22.- The parliament held a private session today. The of- ficial report of the meeting says that 24 deputies were present. A tempor- ary time minister was elected unan- imously, and four other ministers, nominated by the speaker, were ap- proved by the parliament. Washington,, Jan. 22.- Secretary Baker today ,ordered the release of 110 consciencious objectors held at3 Fort Levenworth. London, Jan. 22.-The Evening News says it learns from authoritative Por- tuguese sources that former King Manuel is ready to return to Portugal whenever the people wish him to re- turn. Paris, Jan. 22.-All the American of- ficers and soldiers will get a chance to see Paris on a leave of absence of three days before sailing homeward, according to a general order issued from American headquarters. Amer- ican soldiers of Italian, French, Bel- gian, and British extraction will have an opportunity to visit their former homes or relatives before returning to the United States. Right This Way! You Can't Lose Violation of the Sherman anti-trust law may be expected on the part of members of the teams now carrying on the Y. M. C. A. membership cam- paign in this city. The violation, however, will be involuntary, as the citizens involved are not of their own accord seeking to control the Easter egg market. The evidence in the case consists of a pair of rabbits, of the species lepus cuniculus, which were presented to the .leading team at a luncheon held yesterday at the city "Y." The pre- sentation, however, contained -ele- ments of progressiveness, for the aforementioned leperes cuniculi are not to remain in permanent posses- sion of the present owners, but are to be transferred to other teams which pass the record mark. This unfixed tenure causes no wor- ry to yesterday's winners, for they hope that the w, k, stork and the rab- bits will effect an agreement before the time of transfer arrives. No pro- vision is made for the disposal of the long-eared offspring, and it is ex- pected that the judges will make their decision according. to the prece- dent of the hen which laid her eggs in the neighbor's yard. ESSAY CONTEST TO REMAIN UNCHANGED The prize essay contest, given un- der the auspices of the Michigan his- torical commission ,will not be alter- ed in the least, according to a letter received by President Hary B. Hutchins from the Michigan histori- cal commission. "Applicants from the University of Michigan should not have the impres- sion that their efforts might be ren- dered futile by the conclusion of the peace conference in Paris," states the letter. "The test is largely a matter of how the material is handled." The Michigan historical commission has set aside the sum of $200 to be ex- pended in four prizes of $50 each, to four groups of competitors in educa- tional institutions of Michigan ,for the best essays on "The Essential Condi- tions for Permanent World Peace." Students in all of the Michigan col- leges are eligible. In order to enter this contest, ap- plication must reach the secretary of the commission at Lansing, on or be- fore Feb. 1, 1919. Each %essay must reach the secretary on or before April 30, 1919. Information regarding the rules and conditions of the contest may be obtained by writing to the secretary at Lansing. BEEG YOUR PARDON Several names were misspelled in Wednesday's report of the Triangle initiation, due to the difficulty of get- ting the story over the phone. The initiates were Waldo Harbert, Clay- ton Shoemaker, Hobart Smith, James Darbaker, Joseph Tracy, William Frazer, Waldo Schaeche, Kershaw Harms; Harlan Walker, and Fran Schwalde. RSS-AEHICANS WHIP BOLSHEVIK! IN ZRO WEATHER ALLIES WITHDRAW TO OLD LINES UNDER PRESSURE OF OFFENSIVE + REDS FAIL TO KILL U. S. MEN IN ATTACK I:nemy Mobilizes Near Vilsk, Russia; Plan Drive on Shenkursk Sector; Forces Small (By Associated Press) -London, Jan. 22.-The five great powers, Great Britain, France, the United States, Italy, and Japan have reached a definite agreement regard- ing Russia, according t'o a Paris dis. patch to the Central News today. Archangel, Jan. 21 (delayed).-Bol- shevik troops are heavily shelling the farthest south positions of the Amer- ican and Russian armies at Ust 'Padenga, on the Waga river, 30 miles south of Shenkursk. Bolsheviki Shelling Americans They are showing considerable ac- tivity west of Shenkursk on the Tan- nia river. It has"been impossible to de- termine whether the attack will de- velop on a great scale. The enemy has mobilized its forces in the vi- cinity of Vilsk, and apparently is pre- pared for a general offensive in the 8henkursk, sector. The weather is 1r degrees below zero. Attack Repulsed with Heavy Losses Sunday the enemy under cover of heavy bombardment attacked with in- fantry the American and Russian po- sitions at Ust Padenga. The Allied outpost withdrew, but the Bolshevik attack on the main positions was re- pulsed with heavy losses. Allies Suffer No Casualties Along the Murmansk railroad front, the Russian and Allied troops yester- day raided the village of Rugozerka, 50 miles southeast of Sorroka, where they either killed or captured all of the Bolshevik garrison. They took 110 rifles and other implements and numerous documents. The Allied forces did not suffer a sirigle cas- ualty. Plan Schedule for Exam Conflicts.

Gombrig was a member of Wool- sack, honorary law society, while at Michigan. e Former Medic Was German Prisoner Capt. W. H.
