RULES FOR, SEMESTER FINALSOUTTO LITS Drastic Action Against Runs Marshal Foch If Proved They Supplied Materials by (By Associated Press) Archangel, Feb. 1. - An official statement on the operations issued today says: "Wednesday and Thursday the Bol- sheviki attacked the positions at Taresevo;, compelling the Allies to retire northwards, and they are now holding position 20 miles north of Tarsevo. It is reported that the Bolsheviki are using gas shells. The Allies are completely equipped with anti-gas apparatus. More Volunteers Enlist "In Mumansk, Allied patrols con- sisting of Karelian volunteers have reached Ondozero (Notosero?). From this village the Karelian have been enabled to enlist more volunteers." (By Associated Press) Washington, Feb. 1.The situation in the Archangel district is reported by military offices in northern Rus- sia, as extremely critical. Advices to the war department made no reference to- an appeal for re-enforcements, but it was said here that in as much as this was a matter for determination by the supreme war council at Paris, a more com- plete report had been sent to that body, probably with arequest for ad- ditIonal reports. Reports that the Bolsheviki forces were using gas shells were taken to mean that this equipment had been supplied through German sources, notwithtsanding the terms of the armistice, and if this is established as a fact, drastic action against the Germans would be taken by Marshal Foch, it is said. Few Troops Retreating Available figures by war depart- metn officials show that the British forces in the north is approximate- ly 6,000, American 4,500, French 1,500, Loyal Russians under British officers 1,200 and 1,000 other soldiers of one of the smaller Allied coun- tries. The exact disposition of these forces is not known officially in Washington, no report having been made on this in some weeks. Army officers said that the body of troops now retreating before well armed forces was small, being little more than an advanced post. Experts Say Gas Use Serious Reports of a 40 mile retreat led experts to believe that a larger body was engaged than had been suppos- ed heretofore. Use of gas and high explosives by INSTRUCTORS SHOWN OF FORMER S. A. STUDENTS STATUS T. C. Circulars are being distributed by the Registrar's office among the in- structors in the literary college call- ing their attention to certain points concerning the examinations and grades. A final examination must be held in every class, and at the time set in the schedule, states the circular. Each student must take the examination in every course he elects. 't'he grades are final and no grade can be raised by a subsequent test. The special rule adopted by the lit- erary faculty in December, is as fol- lows: In reporting members of the S. A. T. C. and the naval unit at the end of the first semester, 1918-19, any instructor may, at his discretion, use the mark D (dropped) instead of the. usual mark E, where, Inspite of gen- uine endeavor, the student fals to earn any credit. In case a student, whose work has been of grade C, is absent from ex- amination, he may, on presentation of a satisfactory excuse, be permitted to take the examination in the Regis- trar's office during the fourth week of the next semester, having made ap- plication to the Registrar during the first two weeks. Reports of the grades will not be given out by the instructors, but are sent out by the Registrar as soon as all the grades are handed in to him. BAKER WANTS ALL CANTONMENTS KEPT Washington, Feb. 1. -Secretary Baker and Assistant Secretary Cro- well have been urging the abandon- ment of 14 of the 16 National Guard camps, and purchase by the govern- ment of the sites of all the national army cantonments here today. It is understood that Camp Kear- ney, California, and Camp Sevier, South Carolina, would be the two guard camps acquired-by the govern- ment, with others returning to the land owners at the expiration of the present leases. Mr. Baker explained that the pur- chase of this land was a purely business proposition, and that re- gardless of the size of the future army it would be the policy of the war department to train men in large units instead of small ones as in the past. TODAY IS THE DAY Despite the fact that the armis- tice has been signed, the ground hog persists in foretelling the weather for the coming six weeks. War may- affect the weather to a certain ex- tent, according to the scientific ex- perts of the day, but the ground hog is the deciding factor tradition says.

OFFICIAL1ASUATY LISTS ANOUNCE Tabulation of Losses Gives 10,000 Cases Still Unaccounted For; Report Dates to Jan. 10 GENERAL MARCH'S REPORTS MICHIGAN DIISION LOST 1694 (By Associated Press) Washington, Feb. 1. - Official ta- bles of the latest battle casualties of the American forces in France made public by General March, chief of staff, shows that 10,000 remain whol- ly unaccounted for, nearly three. months after the ending of hostili- ties. The deaths, missing, and pris- oners, are tabulated until Jan. 10 for each of the 30 combat- divisions of General Pershing's forces. Seventy thousand, four hundred thirty-four are classified as missing or captur- ed. Only 29 military prisonersare be lieved to be still in Germany on Jan. 8, and 4,80 had been checked up as returned, and 118 died in captivity. Some portion of the great party of missing men may be located, as the return of the army thins- out the American force in France. Majority Killed in Action Indications are that the majority of the 10,000 .wil finally be added to the roll of honor shown in the table of those killed or died of wounds now recorded as 39,158 men. To that figure also must be added 1,511 men of the Marine brigade, fig- ures on which, not covered in the ta- ble, were obtained from official sourc- es This brings the grand aggregate in battle up to 40,709, and returns estimated officially, 95 per cent com- plete. Figures on missing and wound- ed .of the marines are lacking and cannot be accurately estimated. The army tables give a total' of '14,649 mising in action and 2,785 known prisoners, making up the 17,434 missing or captured. Michigan Division Loses 1,694 The 32nd division, composed large- ly of Michigan men, lost 1,694 men killed in action, 708 died of wounds or other causes, 768 missing, and 43 were taken prisoners. The 42 divi- sion (Rainbow), including troops from all states lost 1,702 men killed in action, 723 died of wounds and other causes, 440 missing and 85 prisoners.

MICHIGAN PROFESSOR HONOR- ED BY DENTAL, CONVENTION R. W. Bunting, D. D. S., secretary of the College of Dental Surgery, was elected president of the American Institute of Dental Teachers, at their convention which was held last week[ at Atlanta, Ga. Dr. Bunting's posi- tion is one of high honor, for the or- ganization is composed of professors from all the dental colleges of the country, who meet once a year for the discussion of topics of technical importance in the dental schools, and to exchange ideas for the benefit of the teachers of the dental profession. Next year's convention will be held in Detroit. MYSTERY SHROUDS DEATH OF-CHINESE Officials of Educational Mission Mur- dered at Washington; No Motives Discovered MICHIGAN STUDENT SMEON- ED AT FATHER'S DECEASE No motive has been found for the mysterious murder Wednesday in Washington of Dr. Theodore Wong and his two' assistants, C. H. Hsie and Ben Sen. Dr. Wong was director of the Chinese educational mission to the United States and the father of Helen Wong, '20, a student in the literary college. In the belief of the police, the three men were killed some time Wednes- day, although the murder was not discovered until late Friday, when Kong LI, a fellow student of Hsie and Wu, called at the headquarters of the mission. All three men were shot through the head. Pollee at a Loss So far, the only clue the police have been able to discover is the descrip- tion of the Chinese who met L at the door when he went to headquar- ters to see Dr. Wong last Wednes- day. Persons living in the neigh- borhood testify to hearing shots sev- eral days ago,'but accounts differ as to the tilde. No motive for the crime has been found by officials at the Chinese le- gation. Robbery was not the pur- pose of the slayers, nor were valua- ble government papers towhed. Daughter Called to Capital Friday evening President Hutchins received !a telegram from Washing-p ton stating that Dr. Wong was in a "critical condition" and requesting that Miss Wong be notified. Dean Myra B. Jordan, at the president's re- quest, communicated with Miss Wong and accompanied her to the station yesterday morning. Miss Tsing L. LI, '21, president of the Chinese Students' club, said last night that the cause of the murder could not have been robbery, nor could she suggest any political rea- son for the murder of her fellow countrymen. Miss Wong, who is registered from Shanghai, first entered the Univer- sity last summer, although for two years previous to her entrance here she resided in Washington with her father. S. A.T.C. Share Blonus -- Djurkee Major Ralph Durkee, recently re- turned from Chicago, in talking of the proviso in the new war revenue bill giving a $50 bonus to all enlist- ed army and navy men, and a simi- lar payment of $200 to all officers in the army, navy, and , marine corps upon their discharge from service, said: "Any bill that is passed by con- gress providing for a bonus of $50 to all enlisted men, honorably dis- charged, would apply to all the S. A T. C. and naval unit men who were stationed at the University. Men who were sent from AnnArbor to officers' training camps and received their commissions will be given the regu- lar officers' allotment, while those not obtaining their commissions will be classed as released privates." The members of the engineering reserve corps, although only in serv- ice about three weeks, will also be included in the benefits of the bill. In case such a bill is passed by congress 3,500 former S. A. T. C. and naval unit men of the University of Michigan, it is estimated, will re- ceive approximately $175,000.. SCENES OF HAVOC IMPRESS WI LSO N Paris, Feb. 1.-"No one can put in- to words the impressions I have re- ceived among such scenes of desola- tion and ruin," was the only state- mt made by President Wilson up- on his return froi= a short trip to Rheims. , Mr. Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Admiral Grayson and a very small party left Paris a few days ago to view the scenes of havoc and devastation wrought by the Germans at Chateau-Thierry and Rheims. This trip is one which the Entente na- tions have been wanting the President to take for some time, as it is thought he will be better prepared to discuss terms of settlement in the Peace Conference after viewing the actual horrors of destruction brought about by the Hun invaders. J - HOP PREPARTIONS NOW WELL UNDER WAY COMMITTEES BUSY ON DETAILS; COMBATTING WAR TIMES PRICES During the past week progress has been made by the J-Hop committee. Each of the sub-committees has start- ed its its work, decorations, music, programs, favors and novelties all having received attention. Salesmen and bidders on everything .concern- ed with the Hop have been asked for "something new, better, and differ- ent," and they have been produc- ing it. A definite expense budget has been formulated, allowing each commit- tee sufficient money for its needs. The question of expenses this year is more difficurt to handle than ever be- fore.' War prices are asked for ev- erything, making the necessary ex- penditures unusually heavy-How- ever, it is expected that the total cost will be kept within reason, without in any way detracting from the Hop. Fraternities are already making plans for Hop week, and the commit- tee will- soon be able to co-operate with them, according to Karl H. Velde, '20, chairman. ANN ARBOR BISH OP GIVEN STATE HONOR Rt. Rev. E. D. Kelly has been ap- pointed bishop of Grand Rapids by Pope Benedict XV. News of the ap- pointment arrived from Rome on Sat- urday. Bishop Kelly, who is in California recovering from a nervous break- down, has been administrator of the Detroit diocese under Bishop Foley during the past seven and one-half years. His vigorous support of the local church has endeared him to the hearts of his Ann Arbor friends, and this new position is only a formal recognition of splendid service. As it was thought that a call might come to some more distant church see, his friends welcomed this state appointment. He will probably re- turn to the new field soon, for re- cently word was received in a letter from him that his recovery was prac- tically complete. U. S. LINER PIAZC WRECKED; NONE DIE (By Associated Press) Deal, England, Feb. 1.-All aboard the American steamer Piaze wrecked off here, have been accounted for, according to a report given out to- night.

MiCHIGN LOSES TO ILLINI TEAM; SCORE_-27 TO 23 GAME WON BY SUCKERS DURING FIRST PERIOD BY GOOD SHOOTING WILLIAMS STARS FOR WOLVERINES Unusual Comeback Staged By Mitch- el's Men in Second Half Which Started To Late Failing to start their comeback quickly enough after allowing the Ill- ini quintet to get a big lead in the first half, Michigan was defeated by Illinois by a score 27 to 23, last night in Waterman gymnasium before the largest crowd assembled this season. Having made only one basket and three free throws in the first period, Michigan did not find themselves until the middle of the last half. From this time on they were dropping them in constantly, making a mammoth ef- fort in the last few minutes of play to overcome the big lead of the Suck- ers. Karpus Makes First Point The scoring was started by Karpus who shot a free throw. This was fol- lowed by a basket by Williams a short time later. This advantage was but short lived as the Urbana team began to toss them in from all points of the court. Starting with a rush and mak- ing five baskets in quick succession, the visitors acquired a lead which was never passed. The game wa one big fight from start to finish, Williams participating in the most. The big guard was all over the floor, and his good work sav- ed Michigan from being overwhelmed in the first period. The pace began to tell on him though and in the sec- ond period he slowed up considerably. Wolverines Start Comeback The substitution of R-ychener for Cohn marked the beginning oftMich- igan's uphill climb. Tossing one through the middle of the hoop short- ly after taking the floor, he seemed to inspire Karpus who started to throw them in from everywhere. In the first period the little forward had no luck at all. It was the Wolverines' inability to find the basket in the first half that lost them the game.aOnly one double counter was made and that by Wil- liams. Shot after shot hit around the basket, Michigan trying as often as did Illinois, but always failing to reg- ister. Illinois Teamwork Smooth Some pretty bits of teamwork and basket throwing was exhibited by the Suckers. Their forwards seemed to be able to step out of the arms of the men that were on them and toss the ball with one hand toward the back- board, often scoring Taylor and Wil- son also threw in numerous long one. The stars of the evening were Wil- liams for Michigan and Wilson for Coach Jones' team. The former was everywhere, and although doing lit- tle of the spectacular managed to worry all and any that happened to have the ball. The latter was the Sucers' up court player, and although not sharing in so many fights manag- ed to cage four baskets and was the visitors' main man in their follow-up game. Twice he guarded a Michigan man on a ball outside, and both times managed to connect with the ball, knocking it to the ground and throw- ing in a basket. Both of these came in the second half and were the points that lost the battle. Michigan*Vineup Changed Coach Mitchell shook up his lineup, sending Wilson and Weiss in in the places of Rychener and Hewlett. The latter replaced Weiss in the middle of the first half but the stocky guard played out the game. Although "Tug" Wilson was the most brilliant*man of the Illini's team, he would have been much more so if it had not been for the constant guarding which the Mich- igan Wilson, "Whitey," kept over him. The game was interesting to watch. The beautiful team play and basket throwing of Illinois in the first half was more or less of a novelty to Wol- verine fans, and Michigan's heroic comeback in the final period allowed the crowd to come away from the (Continued on Page Three) the bolsheviki army men as feature of the they affected from which . it Americans had tire, is a small was looked upon by the most disquieting military reports, as America.
