Commander Albert Cushing Read, swept into the Harbor at Lisbon, Portugal, today, the first airship of any kind to cross the At- lantic ocean under its own power and through its natural element. Taking the air at Ponta del Gada, Azores at 6:18, Washington time, on the last leg of the Trans-oceanic portion of the voyage from Rockaway Beach, L. I., to Plymouth, England, the NC-4 traversed the 800 miles in nine hours and 43 minutes, maintaining an aver- age speed better than 80 knots an hour. The total elapsed fling time from Newfoundland to Lisbon was 26 hours and 41 minutes. Go to England Next At the first opportunity the big plane will, continue to Plymouth, 8,775 nautical miles to the north. Possibly Commander Read' can start tomor- row. To the navy department it makes little difference when he completes the Journey. The great object of all the efforts lavished on the undertaking- navigation of a sea plane across the Atlantic through the air-has been accomplished. Twentieth century transportation has .reached a new pin- nacle, and the United States navy has led the way. Naval officials emphasised tht the long delay at the Azores was due to the weather and no weakness of the machine or its daring crew, nor to any failure of the carefully laid plans of the department to guide the flyers to their destination. Destroyers on Track The 14 destroyers strung from Pon- ta- del Gada to Lisbon reported with machine-like precision today as to the fligt progress. The plane was never off its course and there was no mo- ment when officials in Washington did not know, to within a few miles, where it was in the air. In the next few hundred miles of his epoch making journey Commander Read and his crew will be within sight of the Spanish coast. Skirting the coast of Cape Finisterre, they will1 head out across the Bay of Biscay to St. Brest, the most westerly point of France, thence direct to Plymouth. Peterhof Taken by Russians ' Washington, May 27. - Capture of Peterhof, 16 miles west of Petrograd, on the Gulf of Finland, by the army of the Northern Russian government, probably assisted by British naval forces, was reported to the state de- partment today in Swedish press re- ports. The Stockholm Tdegen points out that the report presages the fall of Petrograd in the near future. While expressing the blef that theE capture of Peterhof may be slightly7 premature the Stockholm paper points3 out that its capture by the Bolshevik forces means the isolation of Petro- grad from Kronstadt, from which the Bolshevik war ships have been operat- iug. The town of Krasnaja Gorka has} been reported to be in flames accord- ing to dispatches printed in Helsing- fors newspapers which would indicate preparations for a retreat by the Bol- sheviki. Reports from other sources reaching the state department todaye said that many villages in the vicin- ity were also burning. Fugitives arriving from Helsingfors have reported that machine guns have been placed on the roofs of houses int Petrograd, and that hostages have beent taken In large numbers., I COUNCIL TO HOLD ELECI' ON - - - I j Election of officers of the Stu-I dent council for next year wili be held at an important meet- t I ing at 7 o'clock this evening in t the Union. Members who have been elected to the council for next year and have not yet been sworn in are particularly re- quested to be present. Special telegraphic service on the Michigan-Illinois baseball game to be played at Champaign, Ill., will be maintained by The Michigan Daily for the benefit of its readers. Announcement of each play, as it is made, will be posted in the offices of The Daily, beginning at 3 o'clock Sat- urday afternoon. A complete descrip- tive and running story will be carried with a box score in the Sunday is- sue. The Illinois contest is looked upon by critics as the deciding diamond contest of the year. Michigan is as yet unbeaten by a Big 'Ten nine, while Illinois has but one defeat register- ed against them. JOHNSON C HOSEN TO 60 I TEAM OF MORE THAN 70 MEN SLATED TO REPRESENT THIS COUNTRY (By Associated Press) New York, May 27.-Carl Johnson, -of Michigan, was among the list of athletes named to represent the United States in the inter-Allied games to be held in France next month. More than 70 of the most prominent track and field athletes of the United States with a sprinkling of boxers, swimmers, and tennis players were se- lected to augment the team which will represent this country next month, ac- ,cording to an announcement given out here tonight after the meeting of the amateur athletic union officials. Several Record Holders The list includes several world rec- ord holders, and a number of them have either A. A. A. U. or intercol- legiate championships to their credit. Every section of the country, as well as the leading colleges, athletic clubs of the nation, is represente "end the team is the nearest approach to an American Olympic squad that has been sent abroad since the Olympic at Stockholm in 1912. Sol Butler to Go Aimong the outstanding stars are Sol Butler, the Negro sprinter and broad jumper, Dubuque college; Joe Loomis, Chicago Athletic association, and Robert Simpson, Missouri univer- sity, hurdlers; Ted Meredith, Penn- sylvania, and C. Shaw, Columbia, mid- dle distance runners; Clinton Larsen, high jumper, Brigham Young univer- sity; W. T. Tilden, Jr., of Philadelphia, runner-up in the 1918 national tennis championship, and Norman Ross, swimme r,.Chicago university. Many Big Ten Men Others in the list from institutions 3 S e !l 4 a i Eight Michigan track men will leave this afternoon for Boston, where they will participate in the Eastern inter- collegiate track and field meet 'Friday and Saturday of this week. This information was given out by the Athletic association late Tuesday afternoon. For several days it was doubtful whether the Maize and Blue would have any representatives at the famous classic, due to the fact that the exp nses incurred on the trip were consided too high, to warrant the victories earned at the meet. Michigan Absent from Penn Because of the fact that the Wol- verines failed to enter in the Pennsyl- vania relays, the Athletic association decided to permit a team of eight men to enter in the eastern intercol- legiates, which will be staged in the Harvard stadium. Another factor for the decision in favor of sending a cinder squad to the East was the fact that a ruling of the eastern association stipulates the at- tendance of athletes representing uni- versities who are members of the as- sociation at. least once every three years. Failure to enter a team for three years in succession would mean forfeiture of membership, although this ruling was declared not to hold BAND DOES ITSELF PROUD IN ANNUAL VAUEVILESHOW FOOTE, NEW FIND AMONG CAMPUS TALENT, DISPLAYS ABILITY GIVE ONE ACT SKIT M CG1 "MIC4IGAN IN ON 1930" in the Big Ten are Carl Johnson, Uni- versity of Michigan; Charles Carroll, University of Illinois; Tom Campbell, 'University of Chicago; Harry McCosh, University cf Chicago; Edward Mee- han, Notre Dame; C.

Late Wire liriefs (By Associated Press) London, May 27. - The allied and associated powers have made arrange- ments to feed Petrograd and render assistance to the starving population after the expulsion of the Bolsheviki. Herbert C. Hoover, head of the allied relief, has the details in hand. It is hoped that relief will be in the city within 36 hours after. the Bolsheviki withdraw. Stockholm, May 27.-The sound of heavy bombardment has been heard within the last few days in the direc- tion of Petrograd and Kronstadt ac- cording to advices from Viborg.. The advices report a panic among the Bol- shevik leaders in Petrograd, a number of whom it is asserted have fled with state funds. Paris, May 27.-The Austrian peace terms with the exception of the mili- tary, naval, and reparation clauses will be presented to the Austrian delega- tion on Friday according to Reuters limited. Paris, May 27.-The Italian troops who occupied Sokia. 50 miles south- east of Symrna, Asia Minor, have re- embarked on their transports. They turned over control to Turkish mili- tary authorities. Paris, May 27.-British and Ameri- can marines have been landed at the British port of Danzig, according to a dispatch froiu Warsaw. A powerful fleet, it is added, will be anchored off the harbor there. Phil Diamond's Orchestra Takes House by Storm in "Kean and Nasty Harmony" Proving conclusively that an opening act may be the headliner of an all- star vaudeville performance, the Var- sity Band scored the hit of the even- tng at the Band Bounce, given last night in Hill auditorium. Michigan airs, marches, and classical composi- tiofis were included in the band's pro- gram, and all were enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience. "Banu-Juke" Artist Stars Vernon S. Foote, '22E, who is new to campus vaudeville, displayed real , talent, in "putting over" song hits. A pleasing voice, real stage presence, new songs, and clever handling of his "'band-,uke" combined to make his turn one meriting the applause it re- ceived. . L. P. Guest and Smith, M. E., '20, old friends to devotees of Michigan vaude- ville, were billed in an act entitled "Magical Moments." Practically all the tricks performed were new, and involved sleight of hand instead of the usual amount of apparatus. Skit On 19x30 College Good "Michigan in 1930" was the title of a one act skit, written by H. P. Ben- nett, '21L. In this comedy was depict- ed the sad state of affairs toward which Michigan seems to be tending, and the ludricous circumstances which might result in future years. Two grads, who left Michigan in the "good old days" (1909) return to find the boys busily engaged at their knitting and 'deeply interested in their tea- pouring. When the "grads" become reminiscent and talk of Joe's, Larry's and the Orient, the college youths are horrified. Thie humor of the skit was good and there wxas one or two point- ed shots. Miss Margaret V. Mann, '22, in "Isn't It Wonderful?" showed unusual talent as a whistler. She was called upon to respond to numerous encores. Billed as the Six Clown Brothers, in "Mean and Nasty Harmony," Phil Diamond's sextette of syncopaters lit- erally took the house by storm. The audience simply could not get enough of their harmony. A saxaphone quar- tette, accompanied by the piano, was but one of the hits of the act. McDonald, '19, Impersonator Closing the bill was A. D. McDon- ald, '19, whose impersonations of pro - fessors and other campus celebrities is too well known to need comment. Due to having to leave out some of his impersonations, he filled in with a comical version of Barbara Freitsche,, which proved a "laugh-getter.", Immel to Go to Iowa Summer School, Mr. Ray K. Immel of the oratory department has been added to .thi staff of Iowa university's summer ses- sion. Mr. Immel will be the head of the university's public speaking de- partment throughout the summer. during the period of the war. Ac- cording to the old ruling Michigan would have to send a squad this year, as no Maize and Blue track squad has attended the meet since 1916. Coach Steve Farrell has selected the following eight men to make the trip: Captain Sedgwick, Johnson, Cook, Losch, Meese, Butler, Smith, . and Baker. Sedgwick Only Two-miler Captain Sedgwick will be Michigan's representative in the two-mile run. In the Michigan-Notre Dame meet held on May 23 at South Bend, Ind., his time was faster than that made in the same event during the different meets this season. If he continues to nain- tain the same form, he ought to be able to place next Saturday afternoon. earl Johnson, winner of the 1918 Western Conference individual cham- pionship, will be one of the strongest performers for the Maize and Blue. He will enter in the 120-yard high sticks, the 220-yard low hurdles, the running broad jump, and the running high jump. During recent practice pe- riods on Ferry field Carl has cut down his time in the high hurdles and is now able to make the distance in 15 sec- onds flat. At the present time Coach Farrell has not decided whether John- son would be entered in the 100-yard dash event or not. Cook and Losch in 100 The century dash will be taken care of by Cojrg and Losch, two of the speediest runners on the Michigan squad this year. Meese, Losch, and Cook will be the trio entered in the 220-yard affair. These men are excep- tionally speedy on an ideal track, and the Wolverine fans are confident that they will succeed in placing during the coming meet. Michigan is sending a majority of the sprinters on the squad, to the Eastern classic because of the fact that the Maize and Blue men have been reeling off the distance in the sprints faster than the eastern speedsters. In the quarter mile run the stiffest opposition is expected. Butler will be entered in this event, but will be pressed hard for the honors by Shea, of Pittsburgh, who has returned to school. Shea is not yet up to his old form. but he has stepped off the 440 In better than 49 seconds, and prom- ises to do better than that in the com- ing meet. Smith to Throw Hammer Smith, Michigan's star gridiron man, will be seen in the hammer throw, event. In all of the field and track meets this year Pat has been display- ing wonderful form, and is capable of heaving the weight for many feef ' Baker is the Maize and Blue's choice for the shot put. He is in the pink of condition, and ,has received many favorable comments on his throwing by the coach. No javelin or discus events are in- cluded in the Eastern intercollegiates which will prevent the Wolverines from scoring additional points. Every year the half mile event is one of the hardest fought races in the meet. The Michiganders will not make a good showing in the 880-yard run, due to the fact that the East has a corner on all the brifliant half mil- ers of the country. No Predictions Made Coach Farrell would make no pre- diction as to the outcome of the meet, except to say that his men will make a good showing, and that .the final results will probably show Michigan listed among the highest. No other western track squad will participate in the meet, according to all Informa- tion received at the present time. This will make it a strictly eastern affair. Points for the winning of the dif- ferent events this ,week-end will be 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.- Thirteen events are booked for the occasion, making a total of 195 points to be won by the con- testants. There are 28 teams in the Eastern association, but there are a number of the squads who will be unable to be present. The team leaves Ann Arbor at 2:45 o'clock today, and arrives in Boston at 11:55 o'clock Thursday noon. They will stay at the Copley Square in Bos- ton, and will return early Sunday. Trials on Friday Preliminaries for the dashes and other events having a large number of entries will be held on Friday morn- ing. All of the finals will be staged at Harvard Stadium Saturday after- noon. A meeting of all the athletic coaches who have been training athletes in schools who are members of the asso- ciation for at least two years will be held in Boston one of the week-end' days. Dr. George A. May, athletic director of Waterman gymnasium, will have charge of the track workouts on Ferry field during Coach Steve Farrell's ab- sence. Regular work for the men will be given on Thursday afternoon on Ferry field and time trials for the re- lay men Saturday, afternoon. D. U. R. CAR HITS TRAIN; ONE KILLED Failure of the brakes to hold at the critical moment when the 4 o'clock limited interurban from Detroit was approaching the Lake Shore crossing between Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti at about 5:35 o'clock Tuesday evening resulted in the car leaping over the derailer and crashing into the bag- gage car of a passenger train which was just clearing the crossing. Injuries which resulted fatally were sustained by the motorman, F. A. Cummings, when he leaped from the vestibule in a desperate effort to save his life. Witnesses agree that in some manner his foot became lodged in the door, and when he at last extricated it he was pitched headlong into the passing baggage car, fracturing his skull and receiving internal injuries.' In a vain effort to save Cummings' life the car running second in the- sec- tion rushed him back to the Ypsilanti hospital, where he died in a few min- utes. There were no other injuries sustained by any of the passengers, several of whom, badly shaken up, suf- fered minor bruises. War Engineering Lovell 's Subject "Engineering Operations at the Front," will b the subject of a lec- ture to be giv by Prof. A. H. Lov- ell, fromer colonel of engineering in the United States expeditionary forces, at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening in room 34 of the Engineering build- ing. The lecture, which is to be given under the auspices of the American In- stitute of Electrical Engineers, has for its purpose the instruction of un- derclassmen in the work of the eng- ineering forces at the front, with the view of fostering interest in the es- tablishment of an Engineering R. 0. T. C. In the University. A series of slides showing actual engineering' operations at the front has been secured through the office of the chief of engineers at Washing- ton. The slides, 60 in all, show the men of this branch of the service throwing pontoon bridges across the rivers in Northern France, prepar- ing the way for the advance of the Allied armies, and repairing bridges destroyed by the Germans in their re- treat. Professor Lovell, while in France, was lieutenant-colonel of the 310th regiment of engineers. Later he was promoted to the rank of colonel and assigned to the third engineer training regiment. Speaking as- he does from first hand information as to the condi- tions in France, his lecture promises to be one of interest to all. WOMEN'S HONOR SOCIETY INITIATES Senior honorary society held its for- mal spring initiation at Martha Cook1 with a banquet at the Michigan Union+ Tuesday evening.1 The .initiates were: Marion Ames, Edna Apel, Dorothea Comfort, Georgia Davis, Elsie Erley, Flora Belle Ellis,' Ida Gratton, Gretchen Jones,, Anna Yqyks.

CARNEGIE TECH MAKES OFFER OF PSYCHOLOGY FELLQWSHIPS STUDENT COUNCIL PASS RSOLUTIONS SOPHOMORE CLASS PRESIDENTS REQUIRED TO CALL REGRET MEETINGS MEN OF '22 WILL MOVE AGAINST "RIDING" '23 Publicity Elicited ley Events of Cap Night Responsible for Change of Policy Resolutions were passed at the meeting of the Student Council last night which will probably prevent any hazing on the campus next year. The presidents of all sophomore classes will be required to call meet- ings. before the end of the year to pass resolutions expressing regret of the paddling done on Cap Night last week. The freshman classes will meet soon to pass motions that will prevent haz- ing of the freshmen next year. Dent Course. .ay Take Five Years Beginning in the fall of 1921, if present plans materialize, the College of Dental Surgery will require 38 hours of preliminary literary college work. This means that five years will be needed in which to get a'degree. This study may either be taken in the literary college of the University or in any other college or university whose hours of credit are interchangeable with Michigan's. The plan was proposed by the Den- tal Faculties association of American Universities which includes ,Wchigan, Tufts, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Wash- ington and California. The proposal was to have been voted on at a meet- ing of the association May 2 but a vote was taken by mail Instead. Dean Marcus L. Ward of the College of Den- tal Surgery was authorized by the Board of Regents to vote in favor of the proposition. The vote was unani- mously in favor of the plan. General chemistry, physics, English, and biology will be four of the pre- requisite subjects. With these stud- ies eliminated from the regular dental curriculum, more time can be devoted to medical work. F. L. SNYDER TO SPEAK AT MEETING OF A. I. E. E. TODAY Floyd L. Snyder, transmission and protection engineer of the Michigan State Telephone company, will give a talk at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon at the business meeting of the American Institute of electrical engineers. Thb. election for the officers of next year will also take place at this meeting. Prof. A. H. Lovell, of the electridal engineering department, formerly col- onel of engineers in the army, will give an illustrated lecture at an open meeting of the society at 7:30 o'clock in room 348, Engineering building. His subject will be "The Engineer's Work In the Service." The slides to be used at this lecture have just been reelased by the War Department and are the only ones of their kind. Most of them are actual photographs of engineering work done at the front. RETENTION OF GERMAN SHIPS BY UNITED STATES ANNOUNCED Washington, May 27. - President Wilson has informed officials here that the council of four at Paris has reach- ed a full understanding by which. the United States will retain the 700,000 tons of German shipping seized in American ports when this country entered the war.
