FLU POSTPONES
CARUSO CONCERT
The Caruso concert which was to
have been given Saturday evening in
Hlil auditorium has been postponed
on account of the prevalence of in-
fluenza. A later date for the concert
will be announced in the near future.
When interviewed, Mr. Charles A.
Sink, secretary of the University
School or Music, said that he was in
sympathy with the order and glad to
comply with the request.
"One life is worth more than all
the entertainment curtailed because of
this order. In these days when there
is so much blood shed and so much
necessary loss of life in fighting for
the cause of humanity every precau-
tion should be taken to conserve need-
less sickness or death, and we are
glad to postpone any of our concerts
to aid in stamping out the epidemic,"
said Mr. Sink.
Good Thinlgs Come
toHim Who Waits
Announcement that a Student Di-
rectory is to be published very soon,
quiets the many fears to the contrary
which have been disturbing the cam-
pus. It is planned to publish the Di-
rectory In three parts. One is to be
issued at the beginning of every term.
This is to meet the difficulties of the
present military regime, naturally pre-
sented when so many men are con-
stantly arriving or leaving. The sys-
tem of cataloguing the names will be
a little different from that followed
in other years. It is expected that
the members of the S. A. T. C. will be
listed according to the barracks, in
addition to the usual alphabetical ar-
rangement. The first edition will ap-
pear in several weeks.
Beecher Smith, '22, has been ap-
pointed managing editor, and William
Wachs, '21, will be business manager.
Smith has been working on The Daily
this fall, in addition to previous ex-
perience on other publications. Wachs
was on The Daily last year and as-
sisted in putting out the Directory
this summer.

DOUBTEDAT CAPITL
\O011 1(ICI L WORD 01? i .XSh0S
ABDICATION OR TIIAT FO E
HAS REPLIEDI
(By the Associated Press)
Washington, Oct. 16. - Tonig its
news of Germany is taken here as the
shadow of great events cast before
them.
There Is in Washington no official
word that the kaiser has abdicated,
or that he has been overthrown, or
that Germany is ready to accept all
of President Wilson's terms.
Officials and diplomats regard with
incredulity the intimations that one
or all of these things have happened.
The official opinion here in the council
is that the coming of these things is
timed only by the unknown factor,
the degree to which the German mil-
itary power has been broken.
The two peace questions in the
minds of public men tonight are, is.
the German military power so brok-
cn as to be ready to accept these
t1rm s? And the recurring question.
what has become of the kaiser?
Throughout the capital there is the
calm air of confidence mixed with
the evidence of determination.
Women Respond
Results from the special canvass
of women's dormitories and sorori-
ties by Mo tarboard and Wyvern in
the interests of the Fourth Liberty
Loan, have been meager. Up to yes-
terday. only one purchaser had sub-
scribed for 4 bond. A new plan is
being tried out, that of attempting
to interest each group to the extent
of subscribing to a bond collectively,
each girl to contribute a part in the
payment. In this manner several
girls can pool their resources and
purchase a bond together.
The campus booth is still being kept
open every afternoon by the women
volunteers, although subscriptions
are coming in slowly.
Several persons who had already
bought bonds for the Fourth Liberty
Loan have returned to the city loan
headquarters to double their sub-
scription, but the city is still $245,000
short of its quota.
The committee is putting forth
every effort to raise the required
amount and hopes that enough resi-
dents have sufficient civic pride to
buy more bonds and save Ann Arbor
.from falling short of its quota. The
slogan "To save the honor of Ann Ar-
bor" has been adopted and even those
who believe that they have bought
all that they are able to are asked

CLOSES PUBLIC PLACES
1T11EA'E MANAES TAKE OPTI-
MISTIC STAND IN REGARD TO
REE-OLPENING
In compliance with an order issued
by the city health department, thea-
ters, churches, dance halls, and all
places of public gathering have been
closed indefinitely.
'he mianagrs n the main are rath-
er optimistic about it. "Yes, we have
orders to close indefinitely," said Mr.
A. L. Stanchfield, of the Rae, "but
we're not objecting, how long? Well,
we can't tell that, perhaps two days,
perhaps two weeks." The Rae was
running a matinee, when asked about
it. Mr. Stanchfield replied that they
had been allowed to run the after-
noon show but had to close immedi-
ately after.
Mr. S. A. Moron, of the Arcade,
was not in his otlice, but his stenogra-
pher said that they, too, had orders
to close, and admitted that they would
spend somei of the time re-decorating.
"No one knows when we will open,"
was the opinion of Mr. Wuerth; "'no,
I am not under contract for the films,
mt if I were I would lose nothing, as
I could run the film at a later date.
The only extra expense would be to
get it back here, and the advertising
expense."

HUNS RETIRE

London, Oct. 16.-The official press
bureau has been officially informed
that report published this afternoon
to the effect that Germany has cap-
itulated has no foundation.
Amsterdam, Oct. 16.- The Nieuwe
Routerdamsche Courant has with-
drawn its statement reporting the cap-
itulation of Germany and abdication
of Emperor William.
This step was taken, the newspaper
said, because it was unable to obtain
any confirmation of the report.
Kinig Charles Believes in Cabinet
Amsterdam, Oct. 16.-The Austrian
emperor has declared that he will ac-
cept the resignation of the cabinet
premier, Alexander Wekerle, accord-
ing to Budapest advices reaching here.
The emperor said he had full confid-
ence in the cabinet.
Amsterdam, Oct. 16.-Another at-
tempt has been made upon the life
of Nikohi Lenine, the Bolshevik prem-
ier, according to Lietzit dispatches.

gonne forest.
eriimais Begin Big Retreat
With the Allied armies in Belgium,
Oct. 16, (4:30 P. M.)-The Germans
have started a retreat on a tremend-
ous scale in northern Belgium. French
cavalry are approaching Phielg, sev-
en miles from the banks of the Ghent-
Bruges canal. The canal itself is
only 10 miles from the border of Hol-
land. So fast is the enemy retreating
that the French, British, and Belgian'
infantry, at least in the center of the
double front, has lost touch entirely
with the enemy. The Belgians are
astride the Thourout-Bruges and
Thourout-Ostend roads, and are de-
feating the Germans, who are retreat-
ing rapidly.

Unconfirmed rumors are in
that Germany has capitulated a
Emperor William has abdicate
rumors came from Dutch and
sources, but as yet the Germa
ernment has not officially in
either the Washington nor th
don officials to consider the con
for a cessation of hostilities

received at S. N. T. C. headquarters
yesterday. All men enlisted in the
naval reserves who have been put on
inactive duty in order to return to
the University, should report immed-
iately at the headquarters of the S. N.
T. C. Upon reporting they iwll be
given active duty orders together with
pay and subsistance allowance for
board and lodging. It is of the utmost
importance that all men now in the

attention, for the war department will
