Two deaths occurred. Miss Lora Higgins, pharmicist at the Homoeo- pathic hospital died late Saturday night. She was a graduate nurse of that institution. She will be buried in Manistee, Iter former home. The other person who died was Emanual Eschelbach of Chelsea, who was work- ing in Ann Arbor. Dr. W. E. Forsythe, University health physician, believes that in spite of several new cases the epidemic among civilian students is being brought under control. University health officials are much pleased with what they term "the ben- efits of the gauze masks and the ex- ercise of common sense methods of safety." WOMEN NEEDED TO CARE FOR WOUNDED In order to care for the sick and wounded Michigan men who have re- turned from France and are being taken care of in New York, the Mich- igan office of the war preparedness board in New York has made a special* appeal to the women of this state to donate their services and resources. These men in the hospitals are in need of khaki bags to contain their personal possessions. The Red Cross has not taken up the matter of these bags, due to the fact that they are so busy sewing bandages and other med- ical necessities. Mrs. L. P. Hall, chair- man of the sewing at the local Red Cross, said they had received no re- quest for the bags up to this time. She, expressed the desire that some organization or individual would volunteer to take charge of this mat- ter. The bags should be made of firm cotton khaki cloth and should be made 21 inches long and 10 inches wide, with a firm cord in the top for closing. TRAIC SITUATION SEENI IN CAUUSIN HUSSI GEORGIA, CAUCASIAN REPUBLIC, ALONE REMAINS UNCON- QUERED Moscow (Correspondence of the As-i sociated Press.-Of all sad situations1 growing out of Russia's dismember- ment, that in the Caucasus is most1 tragic. By the terms of the Brest-1 Litovsk peace treaty Russia ceded the provinces of Kars and Batoum to Turkey. But Caucasus, which is a conglomeration of races, mountain tribes and feuds, was as strongly op- posed to Turkish domination as iti was to Bolshevik rule. The Armenian massacres still freshi in their memories, the Caucasian peo- ple refused to recognize the treaty and united to fight Turkish aggres- sion. But they were weak and un- organized and could not withstand the onslaught of superior Turkish armies directed by German commanders. Their position was still further aggra- vated by persistent propaganda of the Bolsheviki, who were anxious to rush all opposition and sowed dissension wherever possible.i The hastily formed independent Trans-Caucasian Republic soon crum- bled to pieces, Georgia alone, of all the component states, retaining a sem- blance of government and declaring itself an independent Republic. The ,new-born state was in no position to fight the Turks single-handed and was compelled to negotiate with Turkey, a peace that virtually makes Georgia ,a Turkish protectorate. "United Trans-Caucasia has ceased to exist," writes I. Tzeretelli, a mem- ber of the new Georgia government. "The southern part of it, populated mostly by Armenians, has been occu- pied by the Turks; eastern Trans-Cau- casia is willing to recognize volun- tarily the power of the Sultan. "Georgia is all that was saved from free Trans-Caucasia that is not yet enslaved by Turkey." WR AT'S GOING ON TODAY 7 P. M.-The Athena ;Literary so- ciety will meet in room 404, Mason hall. 7:30 P.

BAND Here is a chance for some worthy private to be excused from the labor- ious task of K. P. Both sections of the S. A. T. C. bands are open to mu- sicians of medium and professional ability. Band practice does not ne- cessitate absence from drill, although plans are under way to excuse mem- bers from K. P. It is estimated that the band will be composed of not less than 100 pieces although less than this number have been attending the rehearsals. Trips to other towns will be arrang- ed as soon as possible. Quite a few professional musicians are members, which speaks favorably for the success of the organization. Rehearsals are held at 4:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The men go directly from practice to the' mess hall. Those interested should report at rehearsal periods to Ser- geant Heller on the second floor of the Michigan Union building.

WOMEN OF ANN ARBOR AID IN CARING FOR INFLUENZA SICK "The women are contributing their services unreservedly," is the state- ment made by Mrs. T. J. Keech, place- ment chairman of the registration of women under the direction of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense, yesterday in speak- ing of the activities of the women of Ann Arbor during the present influ- enza crisis. Four women have been checking up the registration cards of the wom- en who either volunteered their serv- ices gratis or were to be paid. Sev- eral hundred names were found on the list, but in checking them over, it was found that many of the women had moved out of town or had sickness in their own family and were unable to aid others at this particular time. Neverthelss 50 women have been freely contributing their services, giv- ing from one to five hours daily wher- ever they were needed. No discrimination has been made in the selection of work, hence many of the most aristocratic women of the city have been serving in the homes where they were needed for waiting on the sick and washing dishes.
