There will be a Michiganensian this
year which promises to be better than
ever, and besides being particularly
adapted to the needs of the times, it
is expected that it will be lower
priced. The plan for the new "War
Annual" is as follows: the book will
be issued in three independent parts,
one at the end of every term, contain-
ing a complete record of the people
and happenings of the University dur-
ing that period. Subscriptions will be
taken for the three issues or for sin-
gle ones. Those who subscribe for
all three will receive a binding coupon
and at the end of the year may have
their book bound in regular Michi-
ganenstan form.
Charles R. Osius Jr., '20, has been
appointed managing editor and John
Duncan Cameron, '19, will be business
manager. Cameron was a member
of the business staff of the IMichi-
ganensian last year and Osius is act-
ing city editor of The Daily.

"OVER THERE" TO BE
ON CARUSO'S PROGRAM
NOTED TENOR TO VARY FROM
USUAL SELECTION OF
CLASSICS
Caruso has prepared a brilliant
program for his Ann Arbor concert
Saturday, Oct. 19, which is bound to
dazzle those fortunate enough to hear
him. Variety of numbers and a wide
range of selections will provide some-
thing to "tickle the palate" of critics,
music lovers, and laymen alike. The
numbers schedtrled for the great ten-
or himself have been chosen from
those in which he is especially fam-
ous, while the numbers selected for
the assisting artists, Miss Morgana
and Mr. Breeskin, have been chosen
not only for their own beauty and
interest, but as a fitting background(
for the work of Caruso himself. 1
Elias Breeskin, violinist, will be the
first to appear, by offering a spar-
kling Wieniawski air, after which
Nina Morgana will sing a beautiful
Bellini aria. All this will be by way
of preparation for the appearance of
the great tenor.himself, who will sing
the beautiful "Celeste Aida" aria, one
of his most beautiful selections. En-
cores galore will follow, for a great
part of his program will be given in
this way. Patriotic selections such as
"Over There" and his own composi-
tion, "Liberty Forever," will be heard
a-plenty. Mr. Breeskin and Miss Mor-
gana will each appear again while
Caruso is "catching his breath" behind
the scenes, after which he will offer
a sparkling Donizetti air, and another
group of encores.
After the intermission, Breeskin
and Morgana will offer "Gypsy Airs"
and "Shadow Dance,' 'respectively,
preparatory to Caruso's appearance in
the famous Pagliacci aria. As a final
number he will be joined by Miss
Morgana and together they will close
the program by singing the "Star
Spangled Banner" in duet form.

through to the eastward. They are
now within slightly more than a mile
of Douai itself. A stiff rear guard re-

been in existence formally since Au-
gust, is now under command of Major
General Hunter L. Liggett. General
Pershing assumes command of the
groups of armies.

The Anglo-American forces, which
formed a great wedge in the enemy
lines southeast of Valenciennes, are
haulting momentarily before an ex-
tensive effort to seize the German de-
-fense lines from Valenciennes to the
Oise. Both to the north and south
of this area, the Germans are re-
treating or continuing to fall back

applying.
Douai Doomed to Capture
Douai, the most important of the
cities within the immediate reach of
the Allied forces, with the exception
of the fallen Cambrai and threatened

French manufactu'ing towns, is in
none too secure a position. The

establishments; it is merely the philo-
sophical conclusion of a helpless stu-
dent, affected, or afflicted, as the case
may be, by the profuse mail depos-
its of an energetic Ann Arbor post-j
man.
It happened this way. The familyt

ing suddenly acquired the informa-
tion that the flu microbe had invaded
Ann Arbor's intellectual precincts,
took upon itself the duty of a pre-
ventive agency. Result: 23 letters in
solemn array yesterday greeted the
hungry, happy and incidentilly,
healthy individual who scurried home
to lunch.
The first was from mother, with a
supplement from dad. More were
from grandmother, cousins, aunts, un-
cles, and all the rest of the branches
and twigs, with contents running re-
spectively thus:
"Gargle 12 times a day, and if you1
can't get listerine, for heaven's sake,
use just plain salt."
"Am sending six bottles of peroxide}
and three mixtures of boric acid. If
these don't work, try vinegar and'
soda. It won't matter if you swallow
some, either."
"Please buy immediately some cod-
liver oil and take two tablespoons
before and after meals."
"We're sending you a bushel of
quinces and green pears, along with
half a crate of lemons. See that you
get plenty of fruit acids."
"I haye wired the druggist to pro-
vide you at once with a btle of iron
tonic. Be sure to take it thfough a1
straw."
"Here is $10 in case you get hun-
gry between meals. You must keep
your system built up to resist this dis-
system built up to resist this dis-
ease."
"Be careful and don't eat any more
than is actually necessary, and if you
catch cold, don't eat anything at all."
"Don't stay up after 6:30 at night
to study; and keep away from stren-
uous exercise.
"Walk at least eight miles a day.
"In case you develop a sneeze, break
it up with asperin.
"Don't touch any asperin tablets.
Use quinine capsules.
"Drink hot water in the morning,
cold at noon, and luke-warm water at
night.
"Keep your throat covered up; wear
your rubbers if it rains, carry them
with you if it's cloudy. Eat plenty of
cough drops."

Harry B. Curtiss, second lieuten-
