(By Associated Press)
' Paris, March 28.-News was re-
ceived here today that the Germans
are increasing the garrison at Danzig.
This is taken as indicating an inten-
tion to resist whatever disposition the
peace conference may make of the
fort.
Breach of Armistice
Amsterdam, March 28.-The allied
note to Germany demanding that Pol-
ish troops be allowed to land at Dan-
zig declared that refusal by Germany
Would be regarded as a breach of the
armistice, a Berlin despatch says.
The Germans replied that it could
not take the responsibility of permit-
ting the Poles to land at Danzig but
was prepared to facilitate a landing
at Stettin, Koenigsburg, Memel or
Libau.
Three Divisions for Poland
* For several weeks negotiations have
been in progress to send three Polish
divisions under General Haller to Po-
land. It was proposed to land them
at Danzig and then send them into Po-
land, but Germany objected to this
plan and offered other ports as sub-
stitutes. These Polish divisions saw
fighting in France and are fully arm-
ed and equipped. The German atti-
tude against their landing at Danzig
has been that the Poles might remain
there and hold their forts which the
Poles claim as their outlet to the
Baltic.
Paris, March 28. - The Rumanian
and Checko-Slovak governments have
taken military measures against the
Hungarian revolutionary kovernment.
Two Rumanian army corps are said
to have crossed the frontier of East-
ern Galacia.
NEW FELLOWSHIPS OPEN
STO MICHIGAN GRADUATES

They are designed primarily to train
women for professional social work in
either Bryn Mawr college, Simmons
college, or the Boston Shool for So-
cial Workers.
Practical settlement training in one
of the three college settelements, Bos-
ton, New York or Philadelphia, is pro-
vided in the fellowships.
Prerequisite courses, as announced,
consist of undergraduate courses in
economics, politics, sociology, psych-
ology or biology. May 1, 1919, has

Army Mentality Tests Show tA" Grade
Results from the Army mentality
tests taken by 3,475 University stu-
dents on March 6 show the standard
at the University of Illinois to be A,
according to the official army basis.
Yale Instructors
Get Salary Raise
Yale instructors and assistant pro-
fessors were voted a raise in calary1
March 26, by the Yale corporation.+
The former will receive 25 per cent
and the latter $500 more than they;
have been getting.
This step was taken because the
Yale corporation feels that it should
take the lead among the colleges of
the country in placing the teaching
profession on a basis of compensation
so that it is more adequate and digni-
fied. This first increase is considered
only the initial step in bringing about
a further raise in the salaries of the
Yale faculties.
Many radical changes are planned
at Yale. A committee has been study-
ing conditions there for the last six
months and the results of their find-
ings will be the basis of these changes.
One important act all ready passed
is that Latin will not be one of the
entrance requirements hereafter.
Princeton has taen the same action
in regard to Greek.
War Garden Is
Again In Vogue
"Although the war was undoubted-
ly a stimulus to gardening last year
the people in and around Ann Arbor
do not seem to have given up the
'back to the soil' idea," said Prof.
James B. Pollock, of the botany de-
partment. "The school children of the
city have already been supplied by the
city with seeds at an extremely low
charge and plans are being made to
allot sections of the fair grounds to
residents who wish to have small gar-
dens."
Last year the school children were
supplied with plots in several of the
wards and an experienced woman was
in charge in each ward. The state ap-
pointed a man to superintend school
gardens throughout Michigan. The
field on the east side of town was plow-
ed up and although some of the crops
were planted too late in the season,
the harvest amply repaid the efforts of
the amateur gardeners.
Professor Pollock offers a course in
summer school for those who want
practical garden work. Each student
Is provided with his own plot, which
he is responsible for. The course of
instruction deals mainly with the
planting, caring for, and harvesting of
every day vegetables.
PROFESSOR REEVES
ADDRESSES CLUB
Urof. J. S. Reeves, of the political
scien'ce department, addressed a well
attended meeting of the Cosmopolitan
club on the "Nature of International
Law" Friday night in University hall.
Manydphases of this subject were dis-
cussed and this proved a timely topic
in view of the fact that the gigantic
political problems of the entire world
now confront the delegates at the
Peace conference and must be settled
largely on the principles of interna-
tional law.
Following this address members of
the club discussed the annual trip to
some industrial center and it was pro-
posed that the trip this year be made
to Cleveland. No definite arrange-
ments for the visit have yet been made
and any members of the club who are
interested should be present at a
meeting which will bet held at 7:30
o'clock Monday evening in room 305
University hall.
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
PARTY ENDS YEAR
Dancing in a variety of forms fea-
t-red the last Women's league party
of the year held Friday afternoon in
Barbour gymnasium.
Preceding regular dancing in the
gymnasium, a program of fancy dances
in costume was given in Sarah Cas-
well Angell hall. A doll dance by
Emma Riggs, '19, and Margaret Wi-
kaff, '19, and a French ballet dance
given by Rita Greman, '21, featured
the program. Following this, ball
rom dancing was exhibited by Ruth
Abbott, '20, and Emma Jane Min-
or, '20.
Besides University women, several
nurses from the University hospital
and from the public health department
attended the party.
8 U-BOATS LEAVE ENGLAND FOR THE STATES
Washington, March 28.-Five sur-
rendered German submarines will
leave England tomorrow for the Unit-
ed States manned by the American
crews and convoyed by the American
submarine tender, Bu'shnell. They are
expected to arrive in American wa-
ters late in April and will be display-

tion with the Victory Liberty Loan
campaign.

Suffragettes Now
League Of Women
The National Woman's Suffrage as-
sociation has become the "League of
Women," the new name to be official-
ly used after the national convention
in February, 1920. This was the res-
olution adopted at the jubilee conven-
tion now in session at St. Louis. The
association although retaining its old
name for another year is organized
into two distinct sections, one of
which is composed of delegates from
non-franchised, states. Suffrage organ-
izations in states where women now
vote are expected to assume the new
name at once. It is assumed that
within a year the federal amendment
for Woman suffrage will have been
passed.
When the convention received the
news that the proposed League of Na-
tions had recognized woman suffrage,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president,
first to see the dispatch, said: "It is
wonderful and suffrage is now recog-
nized the world over. It could not be
otherwise."
The convention received the follow-
ing message from President Wilson:
"Best wishes for convention; I earn-
estly hope suffrage amendment will
soon be adopted."
ASK STUDENTS TO

given an opportunity to meet and hear
some of the state leaders in the work.
The topic of all-year schools will be
discussed.
Tickets for the banquet may be ob-
tained at $1 each from H. C. Baker,
president of the club; Miss Cameron,
secretary of the appointment commit-
tee; or Guy Fox, phone 941-J.

RECRUITS
(By Associated Press)
Washington, March 28.-An imme-
diate call for 50,000 volunteers for
service in Europe has been prepared
by the war department and proba-
bly will be published tomorrow.
As an incentive to enlistment the
men will be offered early duty in
France as a relief for men in the ex-
peditionary forces who wish to return
home.
Three Year Enlistment
Enlistment in this special force will
be for three years. The men will be
concentrated at Camp Meade, Mary-
land, and probably will be sent over-
seas in contingents 1,000 strong.
Preliminary Peace
Paris, March 28.-The condition of
a preliminary peace with Germany is
still being considered by -President
Wilson and the premiers of Great
lritain, France and Italy.
The four government heads today de-
liberated on the question of the Po-
lish frontier according to the newspa-
pers, who believe that there will be
some difficulty in reaching an agree-
ment on the annexation to Poland of
territory containing two to three mil-
lion Germans.
The papers believed that the council
will reach a decision sooner on the
question of repatriation than on the
Polish question.
Forty Koreans Killed
Seoul, March 25.-Riots continue in
the provinces and it is estimated that
40 Koreans have been killed in the
last few days.
New demonstrations by the Korean
nationalists have occurred in Seoul
and many Koreans were arrested by
the Japanese. Business houses here
remain closed. The general situation
here is causing anxiety among for-
eign residents.

Kansas "Y" Changes to Student Plan
An entirely new organization from
the S. A. T. C. plan to the student
plan has been announced for the Uni-
versity of Kansas Y. M. C. A.
IN.
(Mark K. Ehlbert)
Among certtain peoples of the Ori-
ent there is a belief, still prevalent,
that when a man dies his soul trans-
migrates and he becomes a dog, a cat,
or a sacred billy-goat. Well, if
"Come On, Dad" were to be performed
before the worshippers of Buddha,
Brahma, Vishnu, et al., the mystic
sages would probably name Knight
Mirrielees "Sahib Jazz," which is
something like the Sanskrit for the
reincarnation of Jazz.
Knight is good. He has the effer-
vescent enthusiasm and other desir-
able attributes of the musical com-
edy favorite; and he put them all into
play at the third performance of
"Come On, Dad" Friday night at the
Whitney theater.
Wilson Makes Hit
Paul Wilson carries the leading fem-
inine role with exceptional ease and
grace. "Her" smile is ingratiating,
contagious; and her singing and danc-
ing are above par.
Paul Moore still remains "true to
himself," too much so, in fact. Al-
though he pretends to be very anxious
to marry Mary, he is more interested
in the audience than in the object
of his affections. His good voice and
unusually graceful dancing do much,
however, to overshadow his short-
comings as an actor.
Two Good Vocalists
Dave Nash and Carlos Zanelli avail
themselves of their limited opportun-
ities to display their excellent voices.
Dave sings with all the ardor of the
artist whom he represents. In fact
he has much too good a voice for an
artist. Carlos opens the bill, with a
very melodious but mystifying ditty'
about bull fights, hot tamales, and
tambourines.
Ellett Star of Chorus
James White, is his portrayal of the
portly Broadhead, is rather diverting,
and George Duffield pleases as Mrs.
Marmaduke Wells. Matt Towar is
an amusing but rather exaggerated S.
Swanford Stokes.
Bill Ellett is the bright spot of the
chorus. He sings to the coop with
perfect nonchalance, and the first
floor's objections to him are mainly
prompted by jealousy.
"Come On, Dad" will be remembered
for its bizarre scenery and costumes,
for the music, though good in itself, is
not of the type which will retain its
popularity.
"Come On, Dad" Favorite
The music reaches its apogee in the
third act, when Knight Mirrielees
sings "Come On, Dad" with an accom-
paniment of "ballin' the jack" knee
and hip movements. From a stand-
point of pure melody, the dreamy sort,
"Romance a la Mode," and "Marry Me,
Mary," are preeminent. Harmony is
brought out best in "My Lover," with
Wilson, Waltzer, Nash and Kempf as
its exponents. "Betting" ranks sec-
ond to "Come On, Dad" as a pep in-
stiller.
Dialog'e Lacks Comedy
As to the polish of the show, com-
ment is superfidous, as Ann Arbor au-
diences have grown to expect a reas-
onle amount of gaucherie in the chor-
us of a Union opera. High heels are
not conducive to the grace of mascu-
line actions.
The book itself is replete with hum-
urous situations, but the dialogue is
almost utterly lacking in comedy.
Taken as a whole, "Come On, Dad"
is the best of Michigan's recent
operas. "Let's Go" bears no compari-
son, while "Fools' Paradise" is far
inferior in scenic and costuming ef-
fects. The 1919 Union production will
stand out as a "come-back' opera, a
show in which scenic magnificence
'reached its zenith.
OPERA BOOKS DUE JUNE 1
All persons intending to sub-
mit books for next year's opera
are notified that the books will
be due June 1. The committee
will judge them at that time and
determine the policy for next
year's production.
