Ls Engineers Now W3rothers In Law The laws never would march ,through the engineering arch but now the engineers have to endure the sight of the sacred rites of the drafting table performed in the law building itself. Drafting tables are being con- structed on the first floor. The im- possible has come to pass. The en- mity, deep-rooted and of long stand- ing of the laws and engineers, has ,been ended through the magic power, of Mars. Always, each year, these two col- leges have exchanged unpleasantness- es because of their hereditary rival- ry. Many gowns have been tornj asunder and broadcloth by the yard has been completely wrecked, when- ever these two ferocious clans met in combat. Never has a swingout been accomplished without a battle. Long ago the senior laws vowed an eternal! oath, that their scholarly guild would never pass in triumphal procession beneath the boilermakers' arch, and always have the slide rule wearers attempted, with sometimes more, and usually less, success, to force the em- bryo attorneys to cross the triangle. Those from the southeastern end of the campus would seldom cast a glance toward the brown brick build- ing containing their enemies. The laws utterly ignored the existence of, what they considered, the barbarians' of the University. Such was the state of affairs last spring. One of the bit- terest of all theainterdepartmental battles was held, and the hate seemed' Specialized Men Are to Be Special Training Camps ITS TO T G T IRT CAPTAIN DURKEE RECEIVES INSTRUCTIONS BY TELEGRAM Order Issued Forbidding Change from One College to Another Sent to have occurred S.

Now, six months later, the strong- hold of the laws Is being turned top- syturvy to fit it to contain drafting tables. Such is the ability of war to bring about revolutions. It is possi- ble that, from this small beginning of the drafting tables, the entire enmity will die out. But, on second thought, and reviewing engineers and laws-I- have-known, probably not. S LRPRSH . .To . LOAN TOTAL WASHTENAW COUNTY OVERSUB- SCRIPTION NOW REPORTED $18,372.63 The final reports of the Liberty Loan campaign among the members of the S. A. T. C. raise the previous figures about $5,000. Although the men were somewhat slow in subscrib- ing during the first few days of the campaign, they made up for lost time when they got started. The follow- ing shows the official result of the campaign among the companies in the S. A. T. C.: First, $600; second, $600; third, $5,450; fourth, $50; fifth, $2,950; sixth, $1,850; seventh, $4,450; eighth, $900; ninth, $3,350; thirteenths $4,100; fourteenth, $6,250; fifteenth, $2,000; sixteenth, $5,800; seventeenth, $5,350; eighteenth, $8,850; and nineteenth, $4,250. S. A. T. C. Tot1 Now $57,450 The above amount together with a miscellaneous sum of $650 brings the total subscription to $57,450. Most of these bonds bought by the men were taken on the monthly payment plan, the money to be deducted from each month's pay. Washtenaw county went over the top in the Fourth Liberty Loan with an oversubscription of approximately $40,000. The county quota was $2,804,- 000. The Ann Arbor district of the county sold a total of $1,500,500 worth of bonds, to about 7,765 different sub- scribers. County Oversubscription $18,372.63 This was an oversubscription of $18,372.63, as the quota to be filled was $1,482,172.63. Chairman Ray E. Bassett of the Ann Arbor Fourth Lib- erty Loan committee announced these totals yesterday afternoon. The cam- paign closed Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. To Vaccinate Population of Chicago Chicago, Ill., Oct. 21.-Dr. John Dill Robertson, health commissioner of Chicago, has announced his intention of vaccinating every person against pneumonia following influenza. Each day 100,000 persons will be treated until all are immune. The first allot- ment of 600,000 doses of vaccine has arrived from Rochester, Minn. The following telegram has been received by Capt. Ralph H. Durkee: "Soldiers successfully pursuing cours- es in engineering, medicine, or chem- istry are needed for engineering corps, medical corps, and chemical warfare service. Therefore, exclude these from your selections for recent requisitions for officer material, ex- cept that men recommended by edu- cational director as unsuited in such courses may be selected." Many of the students taking the above-named courses have misinter- preted the communication, thinking that this meant that only men in the literary college were to be selected for officers' training schools. The real meaning is that only men in the lit- erary college are to be chosen at present for unspecialized officers' training camps. Specialized 0. T. C. for Technical Men The men in the other colleges will be selected almost any day now, and all will have as good a chance as those in the literary college, the dif- ference being merely in that the stu- dents in the specialized colleges here will go to specialized officers' training schools. No Transfers Permitted No student will be permitted to transfer from either the engineering, medical, or chemical course to the literary college in order to be among the men from whom the first selections will be made, the authorities of the University state. The points of the immediate restrictions outlined in the telegram are only temporary, and military officials expect to receive fur- ther orders respecting this matter in the near future." " Frosh " iuttons Shunned -By Girls While the verdant frosh is donning his incriminating gray pot the first year girls are being left to their own devices as far as passing themselves off as campus veterans goes. And they are getting away with it, too. Last year they were made to wear evidence of their low and humble state in the form of bright green but- tons. But this year the order was stalled on account of the war and now the sweet young things can assume a knowing and worldly air and fool the innocent public into thinking they are seniors, sometimes. The freshman women were present- ed with little green ribbons at the tea given by the junior advisors but they failed to become the latest fad and were quickly discarded. So the naive first-year maiden does not dis- close her numerals unless it suits her purpose so to do. RUTH McCANDLESS, EX-'17, RETURNS FROM WORK IN CHINA Ruth Mc Candless, ex-'17, has re- turned to this country after teaching school in China for the past three years. She was accompanied by her father, Dr. Robert McCandless, who is a surgeon in a hospital at Hoihow, on the Island of Hainain, south of China. She .has been doing missionary work at Hoihow under the auspices of the Fort Street Methodist church in De- troit. Miss McCandless was a mem- ber of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority while in college. Sugar Restrictions to Be Made Tighter Washington, Oct, 21.-The food ad- ministration has announced that the sugar restrictions will be drawn tighter during November and Decem- ber in order to supply the fighting forces overseas. The household allot- ment of two pounds per person per month will be strictly enforced and sugar for the manufacture of soft drinks will be decreased 25 per cent, while that allowed for other confec- tions will be cut 50 per cent. JtotoristsJtake up For Lost Time The ban of gasless Sunday was re- moved last week and many motorists made up for lost time. The Standard Oil Co. reports 10,000 gallons of gas- oline sold on that day, a gain of 2,500 over the average week-day sale. Be- fore motoring was restricted on Sun- day 7,500 gallons was the average amount of gasoline consumed on that day. FIRE FURNACES FREQUENTLY TO AVOID INFLUENZA GERMS Dr. James W. Inches, Detroit health1 commissioner, warns householders against being over economical in re- gard to- the use of coal. In the pre-1 sent crises, especially, householders are unnecessarily exposing themselves to influenza when they keep the tem- perature of their home lower than 65 to 70 degrees, he says. Fall dampness needs to be driven out of the walls; and foundations of houses, and house- holders, who do not take proper pre- cautions against this chief cause of influenza, are endangering their health and neglecting to comply with the recommendations made by health. officers to check the epidemic. ALLIES MIKE GAINS ON, TWO FRONTIERS: ENTENTE SLOWLY REDEEM BEL GIUM; YANKS FIGHT HARD (By the Associated Press) In the war theater the Allies have not ceased to advance, and are con- tinuing to force back the Germans at vital points along the lines in Bel- gium and France. In other sectors the Americans are for the most part taking principal sectors. They have approached to within two miles of Valenciennes and, the Americans, to the northwest of Verdun, have suc- ceeded in occupying two highly im- portant positions in the operations aimed at an advance northward. Allies Cross Oise Canal Americans and British have crossed the Oise canal, on a wide front, in the face of desperate resistance, and further successes in this sector will menacethe Germans both to the north and south. The Valenciennes- Hirson railway, formerly one of the German main lateral arteries of com- munication has been cut. The west bank of the Scheldt canal has been occupied by the British along an extent of 10 miles to the north of Tournai, which city is being defended by masses of Germans and with ma- chine guns. Belgium Being Redeemed Belgium is gradually being redeem- ed, although now the Germans have withdrawn their lines. The British, Belgians, and French are encounter- ing much stiffer opposition than dur- ing the early days of the great drive for the reoccupation by the Allies of the Belgian coast. The city of Ghent, an objective which thecAlles have always had in mind, is yet seven miles aways Probably it will be outflanked from the north before it is, taken. Allied troops already have made con- siderable progress with this end in view. Line Straightens Having cleared the Germans out of western Belgium, the Allied forces are standing on a line, from the Dutch frontier to the Oise canal, that is virtually straight. A new movement has begun to the east of Courtrai, the object of which is to free the northern section of Belgium from the enemy. French troops have reached the Danube river, in the region of Zidin, after offensive operations in the east- ern theater of the war lasting more than a month. The economic inde- pendence of Hungary is to be pro- claimed at any date in a manefesto, which, it is reported, will be issued by Emperor Carl. Hungary is to be permitted to maintain her own army and her own diplomatic corps. Advance Expected in Food Prices Washington, Oct. 21.-Food has not yet reached its highest price, if the figures of the bureau of labor statis- tics are any indication for the future. Retail prices have increased four per cent from Aug. 15 to Sept. 15; 14 per cent from September, 1917, to September, 1918, and 72 per'cent from septei ier, 1913, to Septmiber, 1918. EDITORIAL COMMENT New York Herald.- Today, as on the heels of the American note of Oct. 8, the demand of the American peo- ple will be no armistice, no negotia- tions, no discussions, no peace until there is open admission of defeat by whatever government Germany may have, and no thought of peace until the German armies have surrendered unconditionally." Boston Herald. - "We hope the President will break off these negoti- ations by proclaiming at once the key- note of the situation. This keynote is unconditional surrender. Germany will fare far better if she abandons the hopeless task of bargaining and stands hopeless and repentent before the world." Washington Post. - "There should be only one answer hereafter to any- thing that Germany may say: 'Sur- render to Foch'." Rocky Mountain News. - "Neither statute nor constitution can change the hearts of a people, and the Ger- man heart is still for the kaiser, still for war as a means to an end, and still unrepentant of her crimes against humanity. We say again, 'Let Marshal Foch decide'" Chicago Tribune.-"From the Ger- man response it is apparent the rul- ing powers at Berlin now look com- plete defeat in the face. There is but one mind in America on this war, that it shall go on to victory, to the utter destruction of Prussian militarism and to the construction of peace founded on its ashes." Memphis Commercial Appeal.--"The entire German conversation has been a waste of time and a diversion from the main thing." The Atlanta Constitution.-"The lat- est German peace note to President Wilson is envolved and ambiguous. Now let us refer all further commun- ications to Foch for his attention. If we are to have peace it will come that way." Los Angeles Times.-"Two haveap- parently been achieved; the U-boat atrocities have been stopped, and kaiserism has been put out of busi- ness. Germany must come to terms; she is on the way. Detroit Free Press.-"The German reply is a mixture of effrontery and an effort at conciliation. It endeav- ors to placate and deceive, magnify- ing small concessions by vague and conditional promises which are quite lacking in dependability. The best immediate answer to the communica- tion will be the roar of Foch's can- non." MEETING OF WOMEN'S LEAGUE DIRECTORS The year's initial meeting, of the board of directors of the Women's league was held Saturday morning in Barbour gymnasium, and was featur- ed by detailed reports given by the following committee chairmen: Elsie Erley, '20, membership; Florabelle El- lis, '20, social service; Florence Field, '20, Red Cross and war work; Ida Belle Guthe, '19, inter-collegiate ac- tivities; Cornelia Clark, '21, social ac- tivities. The transformation of the campus, necessarily entailed by the war, has placed women in the University in entirely new situations, and has cre-1 ated a necessity for numerous new phases of activity, thus rendering the duties and functions of the league more complex and comprehensive than they have hitherto proved. Doris Mc- Donald, president of the organization, states that all her executive commit- tees are putting a maximum of effort into their work toward the success of the year's program. It was decided at the meeting of the board to continue the Women's league afternoon parties, since it is thought that the limited expense involved will be wholly merited by the social re- turns to the girls. No refreshments will be served, .and the music will be limited to one piece. BERLIN APPEARS ANXIOU GET RID OF RAISER'S W: LORDS COUNTRY WAITS FC PRESIDENT'S OPIN Enemy Intends to End Su Teutons Institute Parlimen Government (By the Associated Press Washington, Oct. 21.-Germa: replied to President Wilson v note, which, while no one i's pr to say, it will lead the Presk continue exchanges on the su amistice and peace, is said alt bring conviction here that th ple of Germany actually are the reins of government, and s ly desire peace on any tern United States and the Allies a ing to give. There was no intimation ton the attitude of the Presidet probably there will be none u official text of the new Germa munication has been received. Wilson Confers with Lans The President was in confere evening with Secretary Lansit cussing the note as received b; less late in the day. Like th to the President's inquiries a ,ago, this note was sent out fr German wireless stations and- up in the Allied countries man before the official text could m cable. The official version probab: come tomorrow through the S gation here. Hun Note Garbled As received by wireless the believed to be slightly garbled important sentences regarding tions for the evacuation of i territory and for an armisti ,nevertheless it is regarded as a ward attempt to meet the cor laid down by President WilE consideration of an armisti makes the significant declarati the government in Berlin no loi responsible for a single arbltr fluence-the kaiser, but is su by an overwhelming majority German people. This declaration is supported statement that constitutional r are in progress in accord with termination of the people unde no government can take or b fice without the confidence of jority of the reichstag elected Versal, secret suffrage. It is ed more consideration here b confidential advices received c day indicating that the Germ die classes are resolved t peace at any price, and, if ne are prepared to get rid of the the crown prince, and all militE trol. Thus the belief is stren that the present note and thc have gone before are genuine to obtain peace and are incon merely because the Germans c ing the exchanges are seeking 'gain for something better t unconditional surrender they a pared to give if pushed to the German People to Be Prep It is assumed also that the to prepare gradually the Germ lic for a realization of what h pened to their .military mach the war lords' dreams of po as to avoid a complete collaps government.
