Reveille and retreat have no speciall
significance to civilians except that
some have a hazy idea that the for-..
mer is the time soldiers arise and
that retreat is blown at the close of
the day.S
These two epithets are in reality
the names of ceremonies practiced by
all military organizations each day in
reverence for the flag. At both times
the bugler blows "To the Colors" and
usually at retreat the band plays
"The Star Spangled Banner."
Now that Ann Arbor has detach-
ments of the army stationed here,
each morning at 6:30 o'clock and each
evening at 6 o'clock the members of
the S. A. T. C. are seen going through1
the rites. The men are lined up in
their respective companies and at the
first sound of the bugle the men in
ranks come to attention, the officers
face in the directio of the flag, snap
their arms to salute, and hold it until7
the conclusion of the ceremony. Dur-
ing the playing of these airs the flag
is raised or lowered, the former in the
reveille and the latter at retreat.
Civilians also have a part to take
and should do so in respect for the
flag. All those in sight of the flag
or within sound of the music should
face the flag and uncover if out of
doors on foot. Those in vehicles
should stop until the rites are con-
cluded. If indoors a person should
go out and face toward the campus
flag, the official one of the S. A. T. C.
GRIPPE EPIDEMIC SHOWS
DECREASE IN ARMY CAMPS

Beta Phi house seven, three of whom,
h wever, are convelescing. Many Un-
iversity girls have thought it best to
return home as soon as their symp-
toms had been analyzed, and as a re-
sult there is no adequate means of
really ascertaining the exact number
ill. The Episcopal dormitory has re-
ported one case.
Precautions Bring Results
"The number of cases in the stu-
dents' army training corps is on the
wane," said Lieutenant Leche, of regi-
mental'headquarters, last night. "We
are doing everything to keep the
healthy men from contracting the dis-
ease and are keeping the convales-
cents in infirmaries until they are in
condition to again be sent to bar-
racks. This attention has cut down
the number of cases considerably."
The main danger comes when the
men have been discharged, it is said.
Their resistance to disease is consid-
erably lowered and they can con-
tract pneumonia easily. This is one
thing the army authorities are at-
tempting to over-come. About 50 men
were discharged from convalescent
wards yesterday. The health order
requires men to wear masks at all
times, except when eating. The masks
are kept on even at night.
Ambulances are being fumigated
after every case taken to the hospi-
tal. One of the taxicab companies is
also fumigating its cars. The city
health physician has requested that
all merchants and clerks in stores
wear masks at all times. This will
immediately decrease the number of
cases and deaths, it is said.
MICHIGAN GOES OVER THE TOP;
CITY AND CAMPUS LAG BEHIND
(Continued from Page One)
colleges have subscribed more than
Michigan.
Those in charge of the loan hope
that all students will make every ef-
fort within the next two days to keep
the University from losing its name
for always coming to the front in
any movement, local or national.
City Falls Short of Quota
Ann Arbor is about $240,000 short of
its quota of $1,480,000. Subscriptions
were especially slow in' coming in to
city headquarters yesterday, but the
committee looks forward to a last
minute rush to buy bonds as many
persons have promised to subscribe
Saturday.
A celebration had been planned in
case the city "goes over the top" in
the loan, but owing to the influenza
.epidemic none will be held anyway.
The announcement that the state
has oversubscribed makes it evident
that nearly all of the districts of the
state have raised their quotas, and
the local loan committee is confident
that Ann Arbor residents will not see
this city do less than others of the
state have done.

Swiss border, which would still leave
the Germans 80 miles from their own
border line, both at Antwerp and Na-
mur.
Southeast of Cambral, over a front
of 10 miles, between Le Cateau and
Bohain, the British and Americans
are delivering a violent attack against
the Germans, and at last reports they
were meeting with success, although
the Germans were savagely resist-
ing.
The greatest resistance of all, how-
ever, is still being imposed against
the efforts of the French and Ameri-
cans in Champagne, and along the
Meuse river, where the holding of
the line is an effort by the Germans
to stave off a general retreat all the
way from Belgium to the Swiss fron-
tier. North of Grandpre, both the
French and Americans, have made
further progress over the difficult
