PRICE THREE CENTS _ ,_" DIRECTOR SELECTS *- FNAL CAST FOR "COME ON DAD" ELIGIBILITY COMMITTEE DROPS' SEVERAL NAMES FROM FIRST SELECTION E. M. SHUTER CONSIDERS SECOND CAST BETTER Abundance of Material Makes Task of Filling Vacancies Easy Final selections for places in the cast and chorus of "Come On Dad," the Union opera, were announced yes- terday by E. Mortimer Shuter, director. Work of whipping the production in- to shape, and polishing up the per- formance for the presentations the latter part of the month, was started last night. Many to Pick from Rulings of the eligibility committee ruined the first cast selected by Di- rector Shuter, and it was necessary to pick new men for many of the parts. The task was not difficult, however, says Mr. Shuter, because of the abun- dance of talent he has had at his dis- posal. The cast named below he con- siders superior to the one he had first selected. Some Names Not Out Yet Changes may yet be made if it is thought re-adjustments will result in added strength. . The names of one or iwo men do not appear because they still have eligibility rules to satisfy. These are the selections: The Cast Street singer, Carlos Zanelli, '19E; S.

ALL CLASSICAL CLUB MEMBERS URGED TO TRY OUT FOR PLAY Initial tryouts for the annual Class- ical club play will be held at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon in University hall. All club members are urged to ap- pear for the tryouts. The play selected for presentation this year is one of Plautus' comei s, and is said to rival last year's pro- duction of "Phormio" in humor. The play admits of strong parts for both ,men and women, the cast being com- posed of four men and three women. JUNIORS MEET TODAY The junior lits will hold an important business meeting at 3:15 o'clock Wednesday after- noon in room 205, Mason hall. Student councilmen will be elected at this time. STILL CHANCE FOR OVERSEAS SERVICE "To men pf an adventurous spirit and to the service men who want to see 'the other side' before the great war is finally settled up, the new en- listment order sent to Camp Custer should prove attractive," said Major Ralph H. Durkee in commenting on the opening of enlistment offices at the Michigan cantonment. "There are plenty of young unmarried men who would welcome a ch'ance to replace their brothers in the occupied dis- tricts of Germany." The order provides for accepting discharged men for three years' active duty and for those of tie emergency army with previous active duty train- ing for a one year period. Many men are anxious to get in for this one year service but hesitate to go in for the longer term. However, Un- cle Sam wants men who will not have to be returned to civilian life be- fore the government is ready to dis- miss them. Thei chief aim in stimulating en- listments is to provide an opportu- nity for those men now held in serv- ice who wish their releases on ac- count of families or other reasons an opportunity of securing their dis- charges sooner than otherwise. hes Useful- 7Jut Only Fotr Study Are you interested in flies? No, of course not. That is unless some annoying member of that spe- cies should suddenly ingratiate him- self upon you. Even then, you would only be interested in the most expe- dient method demolishing him. This brutal treatment, however, would only go to show that you did ont know the relative value of fly-life to the laws of human heredity. Most of the laws of heredity have been worked out through the medium of flies, according to a statement made by Prof. Aaron F. Shull, of the zoological department. T. H. Morgan, professor of the ex- perimental zoology in Columbia uni- versity, during the year 1910 began working with flies in an attempt to prove the laws'of heredity. The suc- cess of his efforts may be judged from the fact that since his first experi- ment he has kept four men employed all the time to carry on this work. Professor Shull, who was formerly a pupil under Professor Morgan, has spent much time on these experi- ments. The results of his efforts are adding materially to the knowledge of heredity as applicable to the race of man. Flies, like human beigs, have mark- ed differences and characteristics. From this complex mixture, matings are made and the results noted. "These results have been applied to mankind and the laws governing race evolu- tion that may be deduced from them," was Professor Sull's statement. PRELIMINARY SET TO PICK SPEAKERS Class preliminaries for the orator- ical contest of the Northern Oratori- cal league are announced for the lat- ter part of this week and the first of next. The preliminary contest for ju- niors will be held at 7 o'clock Satur- day evening; that of the sophomores, 4 o'clock Monday afternoon; and the seniors, 7 o'clock Monday evening. All of the contests will be held in room 302 Mason hall. From these preliminaries two speak- ers from the senior class will be chosen, two from the junior, and one from the sophomore. These will com- pete in the Northern Oratorical league contest which will be held March 21. "NEIGHBORS" TO BE GIVEN BY MASQUES; ONLY WOMEN ASKED "Neighbors" is to be presented by Masques at 4:30 o'clock Friday after- non in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. Unfortunatf ly the performance willj not be open to the general public. It is to be given before the members of the Collegiate Alumnae and the women of the campus. The story of the play deals with Wisconsin village life and is one of the most popular of Zona Gale's work. Winifred Parsons, '19, will manage the presentation. SINGER MUST FEEL' PART SAYS CARUSO Personal Suffering Alone Enables Singer to Bring Audience to Tears FAMOUS ARTIST NERVOUS AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON STAGE "There is nothing in the world worth having that can be gotten without suffering." That is the verdict of En- rico Caruso. He is not referring to the necessary training and drill that an artist goes through before he reaches the first rank but to the pow- er of "getting cross," of making his audience not merely listen to and ad- mire the music, but to feel it. Experience Alone Gives Command "I can truly say that I have had to suffer in my own life for every tear that I have wrung from my audi- ences, every thrill that I have made them feel. * * It is not enough that you sing well. It is not even enough that you put your whole mind and heart and soul into the part that you try to create. You cannot really make an audience feel and suffer un- less you have felt and suffered the passions and misfortunes that you por- tray Is Nervous While Performing "Every moment that I am on the stage I am so keyed up that I tremble. I am wildly nervous. Everyone else is, too, who knows what it means to give the best that is in him. It is a constant strain.

Former President Taft speaking from the same platform also out-lined his reasons for believ- ing that a league should be formed" to prevent future wars. Band Plays "Over There" Mr. Wilson was cheered for three minutes while the band played "I Won't Come Back 'Till Its Over, Over There." The President declared he was convinced "by unmistakable evid- ence from all parts of the country," that the nation was in favor of the League of Nations. "I am more happy because this means this is not a party issue," said the President. "This is not a party issue, and not a party in the long run will oppose it." Opposition in the senate to the league, the Presi- dent declared was based on the "doc- trine of careful selfishness." "No Constructive Suggestions" "I heard no constructive sugges- tions," he said. "If the United States did not enter the league," he declar- (Continued on Page Six) Is. - - *3.*- * ENROLLING IS AID TO ALL SENIORS Not all- the seniors realize the ad- vantages in enrolling with the ap- pointment committee in Tappan hall. In doing this a senior places himself on personal record with the Univer- sity and the information secured by the committee may be used as a business or personal reference at any' time in the future. It is generally thought this opportu- nity is open to literary college stu- dents alone, but, on the contrary, a senior in any department is privIleg- ed to enroll at this office. While the primary object of the committee is to place graduates as teachers in schools, it also is willing to enroll any grad- uate of the University. This personal record contains an ac- count of all the courses carried with recommendattbons of such professors as the candidate wishes to refer to, all campus activities participated in, distinctions won, and professional training, along with a photograph. About 50 per cent of the seniors enroll at this office every year and others are urged to make use of this opportunity before graduating from the University. Naval Militia to' Swap War Stories War experiences will reign su- preme again when members of the seventh and eighth Michigan naval militia assemble at the Union Thurs- day evening. - An informal meeting, to start at 8 o'clock in the Union's billiard room, has been instigated for the purpose of swapping war stories, renewing old friendships, and planning for a more formal meeting to be held later in the semester.

HOW HUNS INVADED HOME SUBJ ECT OF BA'RONESS HUARD MADE HOSPITAL OF CHATEAU; STAYED MID SHELLS TILL ORDERED AWAY COLLECTS FUNDS FOR MAINTAINING HOSPITAL Has Gained Favot with Audiences by Thrilling Story; Also Humor How the gray waves of Hun inva sion swept around her home, how the German imperial staff used her cha- -teau for planning the destruction of the Allied armies, how later the edi- fice was shattered by giant shells are incidents in the story to be told by Baroness Huard when' she appears at 8 o'clock Thursday night at Hill aud- itorium. WOMEN SHOW INTEREST INUIlASA WHOLE NUT IN TRUCKS AND MOTORS IN FAVOR Of HOME RULE I WAR INFLUENCE SHOWN BY NO- TICE PAID MECHANICS BY FAIR SEX Detroit, March 5.-Women are form- ing' a full half of the attendance at the Detroit auto show this week. A tendency never before seen at such an exhibit is that the women are more interested in the various models of trucks, trailers, and tractors and me- chanical exhibits than the pleasure cars, usually center of attraction to them. Wgr Time Influence War time influences have not yet worn off, and the women apparently still retain a partiality for the prac- ticality of the machine. In the exhibit of $25 cars, however, are numerous examples of the latest designs in the pleasure car type. The long rows of completely equipped mo- tors in their show-case paint indicate pretty clearly that the automobile world has effected a rapid transition back to peace-time demands. Predict Busy Season Experts at the show predict a busy season for the manufacturers in at- tempting to fill the new demands for before-the-war products. A decrease in prices is not looked for. SENIOR MEDICS TO GRADUATE EARLY Plans for the graduation exercises of the 1919 medical class, which will be held at 4:30 o'clock Thursday aft- ernoon, March 20, in Hill auditorium, are nearing completion. Contrary to the custom of wearing caps and gowns this year's senior class has decided to abolish them. A luncheon will also be held in Barbour gymnasium at 12:30 of that day, for the graduates and their friends. It is quite probable that classes will be suspended to enable all stu- dents to attend the exercises. This early date for holding the grad- uation is not due to any shortening of the work required in the senior year. It is caused by the fact that the war created such aigreat demand for doc- tors that it was planned to rush the class through in record time. ( To accomplish this the men did not take their regular summer vacation but started their fourth year on July 1 instead of the regular time in the fall and worked during all of the summer months to complete their work. IGNORANCE AND POVERTY GREAT DRAWBACK TO GOVERNMENT, SAYS DL.FARQUHAR "India today would reject home rule absolutely," said Dr. J. N. Farquhar, literary secretary of the national council of the Y. M. C. A. for India and Ceylon, in his lecture Tuesday afternoon in the Natural Science audi- torium. - Dr. Farquhar stated that the unity and advancement of the 325,- 000,000 people of India are so re- stricted by barriers caused by the 187 recognized languages and the various religions that ideas of correct govern- ment vary greatly. Educated Classes Favor It As regards the ruling classes of India, Dr. Farquhar made the follow- ing remarks: "There are 2,000,000 In- dians who have an English education; they are the real thinkers of the country. The other people constitute the middle and lower classes. The former want a greater degree of self government for India, but the latter, who are In the majority, are opposed to every suggested plan on the plea that the educated class would shove them farther down the ladder of ad- vancement. The native princes allied themselves with the lower classes and the upper class was divided into those who wanted local government and some that did not want it, so a popularvote, if such could be taken, would result in the refusal of the so- called home rule plan. Poor Are Great Hindrance "The poverty and illiteracy of the poor are the saddest things in India, and the country cannot be truly great until the poor are uplifted." English Plan Dr. Farquhar outlined the plan which England is going to follow in governing India. The nucleus of the project greatly resembles the altitude of the United States towards the Phil- ippines. When the now accepted sys- tem is put into effect all the peoples of that vast and rich country will have their say, to some degree, in all leg- islative acts. Dr. Farquhar Is Authority Dr. Farquhar spoke from the point of view of a man who has lived with Indian people for years and knows them as no visitor or traveler could ever hope to. His books on customs and life there are widely read and universally accredited. Dr. Farquhar has received three degrees at Oxford university and will return there at the conclusion of his tour of the United States and Canada. L1 UG Q L V. 1K. 111G G~U ". . Hayden, former commanders of theI divisions, have promised to be pres-3 ent, and wish to meet all of their old commands who can possibly be there. War Study Part of Summer Work Particularly timely will be some of the courses in history offered at the summer session this year. Among them will be the Great War and Re- construction, and the history of the British Empire. This last is of espe- cial interest since there has been so much lately to emphasize the amicable relationship between England and the United States. . Other courses in this subject will be European history,' 1789-1870; The Rise of Prussia, with emphasis upon the period 1640-1815; the Colonial Pe- riod of American History, 1583-1783; the recent history of the United States; Seminary in American Colon- ial history, 1660-1696; the Teaching of history. The faculty, consisting of Prof. E. W. Dow, A. L. Cross, E. R. Turner, W. A. Frayer, will be augmented by Prof. W. T. Root of the University of Wisconsin. MEDICAL SOCIETY ELECTS 5 JUNIORS Alpha Omega Alpha, medical up- perclass scholarship society, held its annual spring election last night; and chose the following members of the class of 1920: Augustus Kirchner of Detroit, Clarence A. Kretzschmar of Detroit, Donald F. Kudner of Lapeer, Norman F. Miller of Iron Mofntain, and Charles N. Weller of Ithaca. The initiation will be held at 1 o'clock Thursday, with a luncheon at the Michigan Union. 'ENSIGN CAMPBELL, EX-'20, VISITING IN ANN ARBOR Ensign Chesser M. Campbell, ex-'20, is spending a few days in Ann Arbor on his way to his home in Sault Ste. Marie. Ensign Campbell has recently received his commission at Pelham Bay, N. Y., where he was sent from the naval training 'school at the Mu- nicipal Pier, Chicago. Campbell was a night editor on The Daily previous to his entering the service last spring. He is a member of Theta Dleta Chi and Pi Delta Ep- silon fraternities. Humor Relieves Tension Throughout her thrilling tale, the aud- ience is held spellbound by her graph- ic descriptions of devastated France. She portrays te brutal atrocities of the Boche and relieves the tension again and again by a flash of humor dr a comic touch. Made Her Chateau a Hospital Beginning with the first approach of the hated gray lines, she tells of the gradual advance through Belgium and the sweeping rush into northern France. The ever lengthening lines of ambulances, creeping back from the front, cmpelled ,the baroness to be- gin her crusade of mercy and to estab- lish a hospital in her chateau. Orders from the French government rather than the German shells com- pelled this heroic woman to move the refuge for the wounded to a place more distant from the firing lines. Donations Yet Insufflcient In her travels throughout the coun- try tr raise money for the mainten- ance of the hospital, until there is no longer need for it, the baroness has won the hearts of many. Donations have poured forth to support hospital 232 in Paris after hearing her tale, but the funds are as yet insufficient. The admission is only 50 cents and it is well worth the price to hear first hand the destruction wrought in France by the Hun. Many of the men of the University who have been overseas have heard of the good work which the baroness has done for the French wounded. One said that if Baroness Huard can speak as she writes that she certain- ly is good. W.1. .rcKee,'i8E is Cited For Valor Lieut. Waldo M. McKee, '18E, still in France has been cited for extreme devotion to duty under fire. The cita- tion follows: "Lieut. Waldo M. McKee performed his duties as telephone officer in a very satisfactory manner. He showed initiation, energy, and courage, in ef- ficiently maintaining communication under severe weather conditions at all hours of the day and night, often under heavy gas and shell fire." At the artillery officers' training school at Saumur, France, McKee graduated seventeenth out of a class of 152 men. Correction of Hospital Appointments The list of hospital interneships, printed in yesterday's edition of The Daily, is in error in two particulars. H. W. Porter, '19M, has secured an appointment in the Barnard Skin and Cancer hospital, at St. Louis; and H. R. O'Brien, '19M, will go to the Brooklyn hospital, Brooklyn N. Y. SOPHOMORES WANTED Three sophomores are needed to work on the editorial side of The Michigan Daily. They should report to the city editor between the hours of 12:40 to 1:50 o'clock and 3:05 to 4 o'clock Wednesday or Thursday afternoons. .
