RED CROSS MISSION; ENDANGERED BY SPARTICAN SHOOTING, DRIVEN _ INDOORS; FIGHTING MOST, SEE WOLVERINE STARWORLD BEATER IN DASH, WINNING OVER SCHNEBERGER MAROON HURDLE MEN FAIL TO OBTAIN FIRST Williams, Windy City Court Player, Loses High Jump Meet; Second Victory for Maize and Blue (Special to The Michigan Daily) Chicago, March 7 (via Associated Press).-Michigan defeated the Uni- versity of Chicago by a score of 44 to 33 in a dual indoor track meet here tonight.' Carl Johnson, one of the most ver- satile track stars ih the college world, won the highest number of individual points, obtaining 15 points. Maroon Lose Dash In the 50-yard dash Johnson was hard pressed by Schneberger, the best sprinter on the Maroon team, but the Wolverine man succeeded in winning first place in this event. Johnson alos won first place in the high jump, competing against Wil- liams, the Windy City basketball play- er,dthe only seriousdcompetitor. Hall and Buchanan, hurdlers for the Gar- den City track squad, were unable to forge out ahead of Johnson in the 50- yard hurdles. Second Victory for Johnson This is the second time that John- son has proved the individual star of indoor track meets this year, having won 20 points in the Michigan-Notre Dame meet at Ann Arbor last Sat- urday afternoon. The winning of the first indoor track meet by the Maize and Blue cinder men is almost a prediction of a Michi- gan conquest over the Maroons when they meet in the open. Wolverines May Repeat Conquests Michigan won both the indoor and outdoor track meets with Chicago last year, and the Wolverines should be able to repeat these victories during the coming meets. The success by Coach "Steve" Far- rell's men tonight reminds track fans of predictions made by Coach Far- rell and Captain Sedgwick, who both claimed that the Maize and Blue would triumph in the struggle. Cap- tain Sedgwick even went so far as to state in an interview that the Maroons would be whipped by at least 10 points. A llFresh frlixer To Use Formality Acquaintance through formal intro- duction will be absolutely necessary at the first All-Fresh mixer to be given at 2:30 o'clock Saturday aft- ernoon in Barbour gymnasium. Dean Myra B. Jordan has definitely stated that the ordinary method pro- cedure in becoming acquainted will be used. This decision makes a decided change from the previous mixers where the mere matter of introduction was done away with and informality thus secured. A committee on introduction has been appointed with Alethea Yerkes and David Beers as joint chairmen. The chairmen have anticipated a large attendance and have therefore pro- vided for their need by appointing ad- ditional committeemen. Several unsold women's tickets and a few for men still remain. Those who have not yet purchased their tickets will be given the opportunity to do so at the door. It is announced that the regular Union orchestra has been secured. WORK FOR SOLDIERS Men returning from the service have an excellent chance of ob- taining work in Ann -Arbor if a survey of a few of the city's fac- tories serve as a basis for opin- ion. The Detroit Wire Fabric com- pany will be able to take on sev- eral within a week and can use some now. The Ann Arbor Fur- niture company is also taking in a few discharged men. The Hoover Steel Ball company is expecting Ia boom in their business shortly and will also be able to employ many more within a short time. MICHIGAN MAJOR TESTS EAST COIST ATILLEIR GERMAN "BERTHAS" OUTRANGED BY LATEST AMERICAN GUNS Coast defense guns are now being made that will fire 45,000 yards, ac- cording to Professor Field of the en- gineering department. A gun was be- ing made by the United States gov- ernment at the time of the armistice that would out-shoot Germany's fam- ous monster "Berthas.," Professor Field as ,a major in the ordnance department had charge of many interesting experiments at the proving grounds on Sandy Hook. All coast defense guns from five inch up to 14 inch were first tested here be- fore being sent abroad. Range ta- bles were constantly being made from results obtained from firing the guns out to sea. WHITNEY JUNIOR SCENE OF GIRLS PLAY CHICAGO GIRL TO HEAD) JUNIOR HOP Chairman Chooses Miss Elizabeth Badie to March with Him April 4 TWENTY-NINE FRATERNITIES ARRANGE FOR HOUSE PARTIES Miss Elizabeth Badie, of 5108 Kim- bark avenue, Chicago, and Carl Velde, chairman of the J-Hop committee, will lead the grand march at the J-Hop, the biggest social event of the Uni- versity year. Miss Badie is attending Miss Star- rett's school, a girls' private school in Chicago. She has visited here on sev- eral occasions in the past. Applications for the hop will be re- ceived to March 15. This change has been made since the first date was set in order to get the fraternities lined up for their house parties. These' applications should be sent to Carl Velde by mail or brought in person. He says that no hestitancy should be shown by those who are de- sirous of attending the hop. Arrange- ments can be made for booths some time in the next two weeks. Twenty-nine fraternities are to give house parties and more are making arrangements. Indications point to an unsiua lly successful hop, especially since none was given last year, which means that the spirit of two years will be in one. Noiseless Tile Floors Library, Cork tile flooring, which was brought from Spain under great dif- ficulty, is being laid in the reading rooms of the new library. The tile is of flicked pressed cork, and will not crumble. It is laid in blocks 14 inches square, which are glued to the floor. Pressure is ap- plied by the use of sandbags for a short time, after which, the tile is sanded till smooth. This type of floor is especially recommended for libra- ries as it is practically noiseless. Due to war conditions much trou- ble was experienced in securing the cork. I The work is being done by the Ken- nedy company of New York city. MEDICAL GRADUATES HONORED BY MICHIGAN UNION DANCE For the first time in the history of the medical school there will be a dance given in honor of the senior graduates by the other three classes at the Michigan Union on Friday night, March 14. The faculty of the medical school and the internes of the hospi- tal have also been invited as guests for the occasion. Dr. and Mrs. H. H. Cummings and Dr. and Ms. L. L. Bottsford will be the chaperons. It is hoped by Jacob Manting, '20M, chairman of the com- mittee, that the event will become a tradition in the medical school. CINDUSTRIAL NEED Speaker Investigates Local Factories During Three Day Visit Here ORGANIZATION FOR STUDY IN LABOR FIELD BEGUN "Solution of the big problems of society and "industry today lies not alone in legislation, but in the last analysis in character," declared Mr. Fred H. Rindge, leader of the indus- trial service movement for the na- tional Y. M. C. A., in his lecture last night in Hill auditorium. "One of the perplexing questions be- fore us," he continued, "is leadership. Nowhere has this crying need been so pressed home to the American peo- ple as in the army camps. Of the two million men who occupied our big cantonments at any one time, it is es- timated that at least 200,000 of them could neither speak nor write Eng- lish. "As a result of this war the world has commenced to revalue things. Self interest is being replaced by social in- terest. It has been objected by a prominent foreign leader in America that we place his fellow countrymen into a little group by themselves and call this group a problem. We must do more than this: we must get the human touch which makes for under- standing such a people. "To avoid Bolshevism we must re- move the.. causes. Industrial democ- racy must be established. I believe that it is possible for labor and cap- ital to get together, and it becomes the function of the college student to un- derstand both of these elements, ar- bitrating between the two." As a result of Dr. Rindge's work in Ann Arbor, definite steps have been taken to organize an industrial service committee in the University. At a meeting of students and faculty inter- ested last night, C. T. VanDusen, '19E, president of the Engineering society, J. P. Adams, '19 president of the Com- merce club, and one "Y" representa- tive, to be named by that organiza- tion, were appointed as a nominating body to select a permanent committee. While here, Mr. Rindge visited the majority of the factories in the city, in- vestigating conditions, and rousing an interest among the manufacturers in social welfare work. He gave a dem- onstration of his methods of teaching English to foreigners without a knowl- edge of their language and without the aid of an interpreter at the plant of the Hoover Steel Ball company. NATION'S UNEMPLOYED GROWS; MICHIGAN CONDITIONS STEADY Washington, March 7. - Although this week's report by the federal em- ployment service shows a heavy in- crease in unemployment, the increase does not extend to Michigan. Detroit reports a surplus of 25,000 unemployed; Grand Rapids, 1,500; Port Huron, 550; Flint and Jackson report an approximate equality of sup- ply and depand. LATE WIRE NEWS Washington, March 7.-Vlad- ivostock has been thrown into a commotion by the arrest and deportation of six non-Bolshe- vik municipal officials by Gen- eral Rinoff, commander of the Vladivostock military district under the Omsk and Siberian governments. Official advices today report- ing the incident said there was strong feeling among the people of the city against the Allies because the seizure of the offic- ials wastpermitted. Represent- atives of the Allies notified their respective governments and asked for instructions. It was intimated in official quarters here that the Allies and the United States would warn Kolchak, dictator of the Omsk government, that General Rinoff must be restrained from interfering with the Vladivos- tock local authorities. It has been decided to give the Juniors Girls' play at the Whitney the- ater this year instead of in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, as has formerly been the custom. It will be given on April 2. Rehearsals have been very satisfac- tory this week. Only the first act has been practiced so far; the second act will be taken up next week. All the lyrics are in and the whole produc- tion promises to furnish good enter- tainment, as there will be plenty of catchy music, dancing, and funmak- ing. PROVINCIAL WISCONSIN PLAY WELL PRESENTED BY MASQUES Collegiate Alumnae and Campus Wom- en Enjoy Dramatics, and Dance Following A beautiful picture of Wisconsin vil- lage life is what "Neighbors" proved to be when presented Friday after- noon in Sarah Caswell Angell hall be- fore the Collegiate Alumnae and the women of the campus. The presenta- tion was given by members of Mas- ques. Ike Fisher furnished music for the dance which followed immediately after the play. Pennsylvania Students Plan Banquet The Pennsylvania club will hold its annual banquet at 6:30 o'clock Thursday evening, March 13, at the Michigan Union. Tickets are now on sale at the Union desk, and members of the club are asked to secure them as soon as possible. 1919 OPERA ORCHESTRA TO START REHEARSALS MIRRIELEES, SUCCESS OF "BLUE BOOK BLUES," HAS TWO SONG HITS First rehearsal for the orchestra that will play for "Come On Dad," the Michigan Union opera, will, be held at 1:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Union. A 20 piece orchestra is planned. Organization - of the orchestra has been delayed until a report on the eligibility of tryouts could be obtain- ed. It arrived yesterday and Earl V. Moore, musical director, immediately issued the call for rehearsal. The men named below are asked to come to the Union Saturday after- noon at the specified time, bringing their music stands with them. Mr. Moore will start work immediately in order to bring the orchestra up to the standard being set by the cast and chorus.. The music this year is of a high' quality, reflecting the tendency of modern light opera, as manifested by "Maytime," "See You Later," and oth- ers of the successes whose songs have been so popular. This necessitates having a good orchestra in order to bring out the effectiveness of the musical numbers, and it is for this reason that Mr. More is anxious to get rehearsals started. Knight Mirrielees, '20E, who made such a success of "Blue Book Blues" last year, putting it into the reper- toire of nearly every dance orchestra, has two songs this year that are ex- pected to be every bit as good. One is "Come On Dad," the title song of the opera, and the other, "Betting." The following musicians are asked to appear at the Union at 1:30 o'clock Saturday: James E. Comin, '21, Glenn H. Cummings, '21; C. C. Hamill, '21; Clarence H. Harpst, '20E; Har- old Herman, '21; M. D. Hicks, '22E; Wm. Kruger, 22M; E. F. Merrill, '20M; E. R. Vernon, '20E; Walter E. Moore, '22E; Joseph Neuss, '21E; Harold K. Schillinger, Herman S. Sherman, '21E; Harold F. Stotzer, '20; Walter F. Tschaeche, '20E; A. M. Yeager, '21D; Hugo V. Prucha, '19. AMERICAN WORKERS QUARTERED IN HOTEL BEHIND X. G. BATTERY CASUALITIES HEAVY AMONG SPECTATORS Submission to Allied Demands Would Ruin German Sea Trade, Says Lloyd Director (By Associated Press) London, March 7.-Members of the Red Cross mission were endangered by the shooting when Spartican forc- es cdptured the main telegraph of- fices in Berlin Thursday, says an ex- change telegraph dispatch from Ber- lini. Colonel Taylor ordered the women with the mission to seek safety in the Palace Hotel. The American mission to look after the welfare of pris- oners is quartered in the Hotel Ab- lon behind a battery ofmachine guns. The..fighting, the dispatches say, was the worst Berlin has seen. Relieve Police Headquarters Berlin, Mach 6.-Government troops began an attack today on all-sides of the center of the city and made bril- liant progress. The attack was for the purpose of relieving police head- quaters, surrounded by Sparticans. A column from the west progressed to within a block of police headquart- ters in two hours. It is believed that the column suc- ceeded in relieving the besieged garri- son although military headquarters tonight had not yet received any in- formation on that point. 200 Casualties Between 200 and 300 persons were killed and wounded. The casualties were Nlargely among the spectators. Spectators, despite all warning, stay- ed to watch the fighting. The cas- ualties among the government troops was relatively light. There was very little organized opposition by the re- publican guides and Spartican ma- rines. They were caught by surprise without sufficient leadership and were unable to'check the attack of the well disciplined forces. Leaders Not Worried Weimar, March 6-Leaders of the German government here announced 'today that the situation in Berlin gave them no cause to worry.
