z L AW W pit igan Iuilj DAY AND ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1918. PRICE THRE SOPHS GATHER INt COUNCIL OF WAR Y An effort on the part of the sopho- mores of the University to uphold the traditions of Michigan, will be staged at the band stand on the campus at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, when the second year men are to hold a mass T meeting. iTS The disposition of the cases of va- rious freshmen in the University who are making nuisances of themselves by grossly violating the traditions of the school will be taken up. Many of CE the first year men, it is charged, are still clinging to their prep school ideas'. ents With these in mind they seem to for- get that they are now attending a college. An instance of thorough disregard im- of the traditions of the Maize and tion Blue is the case of a meek little frosh, re- proud of having made a letter in some ser- prep school, who persisted in walking mic through the arcade a number of times rest. with a flaring white W emblazoned mic on a maroon sweater. Such things as y to these have made the second year men .s a decide that discipline is necessary. neu- Men who are in the S. A. T. C. and S. N. T. C. are asked to attend th meeting since it is being held during i in- their recreation period. It was es- 1 in pecially arranged for this hour, that and they might be able to be present. Capt. rred R. H. Durkee is supporting the meet- long ing and has given permission for his men to attend. nili- Herman August, '19, member of the tals Varsity debating team, Abe Cohn, star h a halfback on the Varsity football team, and and William Fortune, team mate of Of Cohn, will address the assembly. ight da: wa pr he m .ospi ioug ick hed.

A. T. C. men, that Dean M. B. Jordan has authorized an ex- tension of the work to include all the barracks in the city. Under the sys- Lem effected by the Women's league, Army Officials Watch Next Moves of Field Marshal Foch; Time to Hit ALLIES COMPLETE FIRST "STAGE OF HUN RETREAT War Leaders Intend to Upset Entire Plans of Enemy; Morale Slowly Weakens Washington, Oct. 22.-Now that the Germans have been cleared out of Belgium Flanders, and much of northern France, army officials here are watching the battle front intent- ly, many of them with a distinct feel- ing that a new storm of attack may be about to break against the enemy. There is little doubt here that the German army is headed for nothing short of the Meuse line, and that any pause will be but temporary, to permit readjustmentof battalions for subse- quent retirement. The first stage of a great retreat is almost complete, and to many officers it seems possible that events have so shaped the lines that a great drive may soon be undertaken, calculated to upset the whole German plan of re- tirement. Already the Allied lines have been shortened so that consider- able forces are available for the work. The time cannot be far away also, when the American second army, un- der Major-General Bullard, will be put into action. So far as the German overtures are concerned, army officers hold that now is the time of times for a new and crushing blow. With the hope of early peace being dangled before the eyes of the weary German troops, their morale would be at its lowest ebb, it was said, while in the American and Allied ranks the roundabout German admissions of defeat can only have given new zest for the fight. And Now He Is A Genuine Yankee He stumbled down State street, gaz- ing wild-eyed at an 0. D.ed figure that had just passed him. - "'N who, in the name of Cleo, was that?" he snorted. Alas, 'tis but too true! When the Saturday Afternoon Tea clubbers have donned their newly issued garb, and have shed the prescribed buckets of blood over slipping the 49 key rings on the 49 respective rear surfaces of the 49 respective blouse buttons, they no longer recognize themselves. Per- cy Private of the Rear Ranks frater- nity wriggles in his woolen undies and swears that he can do a perfect "about face" right inside his shoes without even stubbing his toe on the cow hide. Gus, of that campus honorary society known as K. P., having missed out on the issue of hats and leggings, floats gaily about-a soldier as to torso, manifesting his class loyalty by his frosh toque, and his general in- souciance by his breeches strings flapping a la Rio Grande in the wind. A new organization of the great misunderstood and misfitted has chap- ters in every barracks. Its members are those sufferers who, unable to ex- change or drown their uniforms, are wearing 11 double E's in place of the old 7 A's, English last cordovans, and whose blouses fit well about the an- kles. List mercifully to their wail, quote not of the comforts of Flemish mud, and snicker softly beneath the flu mask. National Food Campaign Starts Des. 1 Because of the influenza epidemic' the national food campaign which was to have started Oct. 27, has been post- poned to Dec. 1. The home cards to be given out contain no regulations regarding meatless or wheatless days, but urge strict conservation of alA food, particularly wheat, meat, fats, and sugar, so that exports to our Al- lies may be increased to the necessary 5,750,000 tons. Jacks to Get New Uniforms Orders have been sent to Great Lakes for over 100 uniforms for the naval unit. The measurements for these were taken yesterday and the day before. About 60 measurements will be taken daily and the uniforms will be ordered at the same time. PLAN TO BUILD 156 SHIPS. -THREE YEARS; COST TO BF $972,090,000 IN e 1 are QUOTA OF 25 MEN SENT TO VIRGINIA Another quota of 25 men will be sent to camp this morning. Their des- tination is Camp Eustic (Lee hall), Va. They will leave on the Ann Ar- bor railroad at 11:30 o'clock. The men called are as folows: Gerald Asa Gale, Thomas William Cobb, Ray C. Salmon, Charles E. Kaercher, Howard Wallace Chapin, Wilson J. Keller, John Malcolm Ryan, George F. Horn, Cyril Harold Demosh, Louis E.

NATALAUTHORITIES TO ASK FOR SIOIOO fsptl L each sorority house and club organi- zation where meals. are served, has d one ben placed in direct charge of pro- Dr. J. curing and serving hot food to sick r, yes- men in one or more barracks in their ay en- respective vicinities. last Under Dean Jordan's supervision, ported the services will not be restricted to meals alone, but will consist of pro- n stu- viding magazines, fruit, field flowers, o Dr. and any other inexpensive contribu- three tions which might provide a touch of three home comfort for the convalescent pa- guewz tients. Due to the existing condi- 3uenza tions, it is very difficult for women of 2 stu- the University to do any more direct con- war work among the barracks, and this means of "doing their bit" has been eagerly accepted by the various sororities as one other opportunity her as for patriotic service. The work is ex- Sfrompected to continue until the University re de- is provided with a base infirmary suf- -eturn- ficiently large to accommodate the pa- n do- tients in the military organization. Reports from the barracks fully up- to do hold the claim that the right kind of ng on hot, substantial food. especially when correlated with other pontributions of Major non-military nature, is an effective ehallysteppping-stone to recovery. Washington, Oct. 22.-Congress has been asked by the navy department to authorize a s*econd three year naval building program to provide 10 addi- tional superdreadnaughts, six battle cruisers, and 14 smaller vessels at a cost of $600,000,000. This was dis- closed tonight by Secretary Daniels after his appearance before the house naval committee to explain the appro- priation. The authorization is asked for the next fiscal year and is in addition to the 156 naval vessels comprising the first three year building program au- thorized in 1916, and the great num- ber of new destroyers and other spe- cial types contracted for since the United States entered the war. Work on the first three year program was' delayed by the war, but congress ahs required that a start must be made; on all the vessels before next July 1. Including the $600,000,000 for the three year porgram, Secretary Dan- iels said the total estimates of the de- partment for ship construction, includ- ing armor and armament, amount this1 year to $972,090,000. "The new three year program," See- retary Daniels said, "is a continuation of the policy adopted in 1916 of in- creasing the navy, and contemplate its steady upbuilding and improvement. It is in line with the policy adopted by this government, and which has- met with the entire approval of the Amer- ican people, of building up a navy strong enough to meet all require- ments." ARCHITECTURAL COLLEGE IS APPROVED BY NEW YORK STATE Michigan's Architectural college has been formally registered as an approved school, leading to the prac- tice of architecture in the state of New York and 14 other states, includ- ing Michigan, having laws requiring the registration of architects. The state of New York has been invesigating, through its department of education, the different architec- tural colleges in the United States. Only recently has Michigan been noti- fied of its acceptance in New York, though such a law has been in effect in Michigan for three and one-half years. All Detroit Schools Closed Detroit, Oct. f22. - The indefinite closing, from Thursday on of all pub- lic, private and parochial schools in Detroit was ordered by the board of health today as a precautionary measure against Spanish influenza. Other measures include the closing of retail stores at 4 o'clock, daily disin- fecting of public buildings, more fre- quent sweeping of streets, and the prohibition of all outdoor gatherings. City Has Coal Supply for Two Years Ann Arbor householders will not have to worry about keeping warm this winter if they have the money to buy thec oal. Coal dealers say that there is enough soft coal in Ann Arbor now to last for two years. R. T. Cook Goes to Garden City Ronald T. Cook left yesterday for Garden City, Long Island, to begin training in the department of military aeronautices, AgLIE ARIES ENTE IENTENTE ADVNCE CZECHS CAPTURE SPECIAL NOTICE in Regard to the Wearing of Face Masks In view of the fact that the epidemic of influenza is appar- ently under control, the order in regard to the wearing of masks is changed in this respect: Masks need not be worn on the streets or on the campus, but should continue to be worn uitil further order at all University exercises H. B. HUTCHINS, Oct. 22, 1918. President. FOR LIBERTY The following casualties are re- ported today by the commanding general of the American Expedition- ary forces: Killed in action, 100; wounded severely, 101; missing in ac- tion, 72; wounded slightly, 105; died from accident and other causes, 3; died from wounds, 49; died of dis- ease, 83; wounded, degree undeter- mined, 145; prisoners, 1; died of ae- roplane accident, 1. Total, 660. LIBERTY LOAN ALLOTMENT FOR MEMBERS OF S. N. T. C. DOUBLED The naval unit here made a fine showing in the Liberty Loan cam- paign. The average subscription per man was higher in the navy than in the S. A. T. C., or in any other branch. The 510 men in the S. N. T. C. bought $6,250 worth of bonds, an average of $51.47 per man. The quota of the navy was $13,000. They not only went over the top, but they more than doubled the amount asked for. When the existing condi- tions are taken into consideration this oversubscription seems even more remarkable. K. of C. Club House Open to S. A. T. C. The Knights of Columbus club house at 504 South State street is now open to both sections of the S. A. T. C. Mr. Leo Kennedy, the army secretary sta- tioned in Ann Arbor, has been in the city for the past few weeks looking after the remodeling of the house. It is now nearly completed except for minor details. It is expected that by the time the new section of S. A. T. C. has become thoroughly organized the club house will 'be all ready. There are arrangements made for card and billiard rooms upstairs. The reading room will be downstairs, and' is already fitted out with comfortable furniture with more to arrive soon. There is also a writing room down- stairs where the men will be furnish- ed with writing materials. There will be organized play and entertainment. This will take the form of football, friendly wrestling matches and sports of the like. New Lot of U. S. Uniforms Wired for. About 1,700 uniforms were issued to the S. A. T. C. Monday, which was a highly insufficient number. But those who could not come forth in their stunning new fall suits yester- day morning need not feel that Un- cle Sam has neglected them. Indeed the officers in charge here have wired for more uniforms. It is reported that they may arrive any day in the near future.
