CAMP CUSTER DOCTORS TO BE COURT- MARTIALED RUMORS OF EXECUTIONS ARE OFFICIALLT DENIED BY GENERAL Camp Custer, Oct. 16.-Six medical officers are to be tried by court mar-' tial for violating the quarantine.rThe trials, however, will not be held un- til the influenza and pneumonia epi- demics have subsided sufficiently to alow the administration to divert its attention to other things. The infractions of quarantine rules, which Brigadier-General Laubach es- tablished, bear no relation to rumors that medical officers will not be "shot at runrise." Quarantine for All Alike General Laubach declared that the quarantine affected officers as well as men, and that to violate it was a menace to the outside world. A number of men are "absent with- out leave," due to having "ducked" for their civilian homes. During the rushing of the men to the base hospi- tal, it was impossible to keep a rec- ord of all the victims. There have, so far, been no mili- tary executions in the, history of Camp Custer ,and it is unnecessary to say that no officers will be executed for spreading germs. The disease death toll at the camp, in the last 24 hourswas 40, and the hospital population has been reduced to 3,051. At the same time 615 men were discharged as convalescent. New Surgeon Arrives Due to the illness of Lieutenant- Colonel Creighton and Lieutenant- Colonel Irons, Washington was asked to send an experienced army surgeon to take charge. He arrived yesterday in the person of Lieutenant-Colonel E. F. Campbell, but as Creighton and Irons are now back on duty, Colonel MacCampbel will become camp sur- geon. No modifications of the quarantine are as yet in sight, but General Lau- bach has notified the manager of the Liberty theater that he may book at- tractions at the camp playhouse one week from today. The requests of many parents to al- low the boys who are convalescing to 'come home cannot be granted. The men will undergo a gradual hardening 'process in camp. A decrease in the number of deaths is expected. Since Sept. 28, 491 have sdied at Custer, one from influenza, one from typhoid, and all the rest from pneumonia. Most of the deathes are in the infantry regiments.

PITY WASTED ON LIVE DEAD MAN With the American Army in France, Oct. 16.-The laugh and the joke and the prank are not absent from the American military hospitals. There is suffering, of course, in these great, splendidly equipped institutions, but even the shrapnel loaded American citizen soldier has his fun. One sur- geon tells this story: When the lines of stretcher cases were being brought into his hospital the surgeons stood in the reception ward making quick examinations. One stretcher was brought silently in, the form of a soldier lying rigid under blankets drawn over the head. This is the sad sign of one who needs no more help. They motioned the bear- ers to set it aside in a corner and when the last wounded man had been looked over the surgeons reverently lifted the blanket from the face. The "dead" man sat suddenly up with a loud "Boo!" Then the "case" laughed, lay down and again drew the blanket over his face. They let him play his joke on others for a while, then sent him to a ward to have some machine gun bullets picked out. "Do you suffer very much, laddie?" asked a nurse of a soldier who lay in his cot with white face and tight lips in an American field hospital. "No, Miss, Oh no," was the shaky reply. "We marines don't suffer, you know. Wahr's University Book tvJ TEXT BOOKS and ENGINEERS' SUPPLIES Military Books for the S. A. T. C. WAHR'S m~r 'I Main St. State St. I U L YNDON 719 N.

Experts in the office of Provost Mar- shal General Crowder estimated it at only 12,778,758 from recent census fig- ures. Since the United States entered the war there have been 23,546,021 men registered for military service. The local draft boards of the country have made such progress in classifying the men registered on September 12, that questionaires will soon be sent to the youths of 18 and men between the. 'ages of 37 aid 46. Baker Curtails Lawyer's Commissions Washington, Oct. 15.-Selection of lawyers to be commissioned for the Judge Advocate General's Depart- ment through application has proved to be impractical and has been aban- doned. The War department today announced that hereafter commis- sions would be granted in limited numbers only after investigation through professional sources of thel records of men believed to be fitted for military work. Chemistry Classes Resume Meetings The chemistry classes of Profes- ors Hale and Bigelow will meet to- day as usual. They were not held yes- terday because of Mrs. Hale's death. Arrangements, however, have been made to resume them immediately. Prof. Taylor Visiting Sick Son Prof. Fred M. Taylor of the econom- i's department, left yesterday for Col- umbus, O., where his son, Theodore, is dying of influenza. Mrs. Taylor has been there since Monday. Classes will go on as usual under Mr. Calhoun. Fire Damages Building in Cemetery Fire, yesterday afternoon, partially destroyed one of the buildings in the When the prisoners at the county jail were being given their breakfast yesterday morning it was noticed that one of them was missing. Upon in- spection it was discovered that he had, in some way, chiseled eight bricks out of the wall of the detention room and made his escape through the aper- ture. Officers in charge state that he must have hidden under a bench when the rest of the prisoners were taken to their cells and since there were several 'others his absence was not noticed. The man was a draft slacker brought here from Milan. Ann Arbor men in class one of the September registration are being call- ed for physical examination at the rate of 50 a day. The examinations are given at the dental building, Word has been received at the local draft board to be ready to entrain the men who were scheduled to leave here Oct. 7 early next week. They had not left before because of the influen- za epidemic. They are all men who registered previous to September. A gold wrist watch was recovered yesterday by a member of the police force after it had been missing for three months. It belonged to Florence Paul, a high school girl, who lost it on State street last July. She had never advertised for it but a few days ago she noticed another girl wear- ing it and notified the police. Choral Union Members to Get Tickets Members of the Choral union will receive their tickets for the Caruso concert on Friday afternoon at the School of Music. Everyone is urged to pay their fee of $4, $1.50 of which will be returned when the books are given back to the school after the May festival. Members will receive word through the mail today or tomorrow telling them about their seat assign- ments. Red Cross Workers Wear Gauze Masks The S. A. T. C. men and students are not the only ones wearing masks. The women in the Ann Arbor chapter of the Red Cross deem it necessary to take as many precautionary meas- ures as the soldiers. If you have never worn an influenza mask go to the Red Cross and you will be given the oppor- tunity of wearing one, also of helping others to wear them. Lient Tomlinson Goes to Nebraska Lieut. J. H. Tomlinson, who has been Owing to the fact that the engin- eering reserves will not be allowed to enlist in the S. A. T. C., there are about 25 open places in the naval unit. These places must be filled before Oct., 20 as enlistments close on that date. Lieut. A. K. Boak who has been confined to his room with influenza has returned to duty in naval head- quarters. Barracks Z A winch was former- ly at 640 South University avenue, has been shifted to 750 Oakland avenue. Companies 1 and 3 will be quartered in this barracks. The house formerly1 used for this baracks did not con- tain suffieent accommodations for the troops and the new one is much bet-1 ter. The measurements for uniforms will be taken as soon as a yoeman is sent here from Great Lakes. He will prob- ably arrive today or tomorrow. The naval reserve men who are on. inactive duty have failed to receive their active duty'-papers in many cases because of their failure tocask for their orders at the postoffice. They are sent here by general delivery -and will not be delivered. NAVAL FLYING RESERVE OPENS RECRUITING OFFICE IN DETROIT Detroit, Oct. 16.-Applications will be received at the Navy Recruiting Station, 161 Griswold street, Detroit, for enrollment in the naval reserve force for flight training, with a view to commissioning in the naval reserve flying corps.

In addition, Actual executive training and business experience. (d) Physical qualifications as prescribed for line officers, standard of regular navy. Special induction of successful can- didates will be requested through the provost marshal general's office, by the bureau of navigation. KAISER ONLY MAKES TREATIES; STATEMENTS OF OTHERS VOID New York, Oct. 16.-According to the German consti nio, no one but the emperor can make treaties or declare war. Therefore the statements of Prince Maxmillian and Dr. Solf are made only their own and they are not speaking for the government as they claim to be. It may have been noticed that the Kaiser's name is not mentioned in any of their statements. This should be sufficient proof of the insincerity of the statements. Further, the German people have absolutely no voice in international affairs. Can anything be plainer?, SAVE INSURANCE Due to the fact that the local draft boards are extremely slow in sending the induction papers, a few come daily into the Registrar's office. It is highly important that these papers be presented to the company com- mander. An exampie of just how important these papers are was shown when Lieutenant Leche, the adjutant, received the papers for one man who was at death's door and was barely able to sign them. Lieuten- ant Leche was thus able to secure the sum of $13,000 insurance for the man. The following is the list of names of the men whose papers came in yes- terday: Amidon, Willard C., Anderson, Leigh C., Angle, Hugh K., Beadle, Frank E., Bounsma, Oscar K., Brede, Edwin F., Brennan, Walter D., Campbell, Dou- glas H., Cook, Harry G., Dietrich, Wm. F., Dratz, Francis A., Dunham, Herbert L., Gilson, Robt. H., Gold- smith, Harold E., Hanson, Walter M., Harrison, Tinsley R., Hiles, Clare L., Hubbard, Maurice E., Johnstone, Wm. H., Judge, Lloyd M., Keidanz, Theo- dore H., Kelly, Will M., Kryger, Henry W., Ladore, David R., Luskin, Mor- ris, Moor, Paul M., Petrie, Kenneth H., Robinon, Daniel K., Schroeder, Albert F., Stinson, John L., Sunley, Harry, Thomas, John S.,-Vardon, John F., Volk, Allen S., Whitlock, Robt. C., and Wood, John C. Service Section Wants Home for Girl In its work with the families of soldiers and sailors the home service section of the American Red Cross meets a variety of problems touchr- ing upon the lives of the members of such families at every point. At times it is possible to enable the older children to do some kind of light work during their leisure hours to help buy their own clothes, or to contribute a little to the family budget. At the present time the homehser- vice committee is looking for a home where a young school - girl 14 years of age could earn at least 10 cents an hour doing light house work after school, nights, Saturdays and part of Sundays. Those who are interested are asked to call 633-W, and talk with the home service secretary. Gasless Sunday Still With Us In spite of the rumors that Sunday motoring may be resumed this, coming Sunday, no announcement has come from the office of State Fuel Adminis- trator Prudden or from Washington. It is expected that abstinence from gas-consuming will be necessary for some time to come. WANTED, AT ONCE Men and women, freshmen and upperclassmen, S. A. T. C. men and non-S. A. T.
