Slightly more serious is the aspect
which the possibility of an epidemic
of influenza now presents, according
to Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director
of the University Health service, in a
statement which he made yesterday.
While there is no marked increase in
the number of cases reported, yet it
is the belief of the Health service
that no surprise would be expressed
were an epidemic of the disease to
spread,-
According to Dr. Forsythe there are
some half dozen of influenza cases
among students which are of a se-
rious nature and others more mild in
effect. "While there is no desire to
create undue alarm or anxtey," said
Dr. Forsythe, "yet we believe that'
warning should be given all students
to co-operate with us in eliminating
the possibility of an epidemic."
F Urge Precaution
For this purpose Health service au-
thorities urge that great attention be
ziven the patient immediately any' ill
effects are noted. They advise that
he go right to bed and stay there, even
4f it necessitates the missing of class
work. According to them it is always
advisable to secure a doctor as soon
as possible.
New York, .Jan. 23.-Leading social-
ists meeting today at the' Rand School
of Social Science completed plans for
a four day drive commencing Jan. 27,
to raise $20,000 for the defense of the
five members of their party suspend-
ed by the state assembly and being
tried at Albany on charges of disloy-
alty Plans call for street corner
collections with mass meetings in va-
rious parts of the city.
Senators to Speak
The chief gathering will be in lad-
ison Square garden on Jan. 28, when
it was announced three United States
senators would speak. Their names
were not made public.
Announcement of plans for a de-
fense fund followed a statement in
Albany yesterday by socialist coun-
sel that any delay-in the trial -would
work financial hardship to their plans
whereas the prosecution had the re-
sources of the state on which to rely.
ORGANIZATIONS TO DRAW
FOR HOP BOOTHS TODAY
Today ends the competition for
Union opera positions. From 2 until
5:30 o'clock men will be given an
opportunity to try out before E. Mor-
timer Shuter, director, and Earl Moore,
musical director.
No other trials will be offered the
stidents, states Mr. Shuter, who also
says that there is still great opportu-
nity for any one with ability. Al-
though close to 400 have turned out
for the cast and chorus, most of
whom have displayed talent, a number
of good positions are yet unfilled.
Competition has been unusually keen
this year, according to the manage-
ment, and an unusual amount of good
material has been discovered. This
year's opera affords excellent chances
for dancers and singers, and Mr.
Shuter says that he has been success-
ful in filling most of the places with
capable men.
Plans for the spring trip are being
made by Homer Heath, general man-
ager of the Union. As yet the towns
to be played in have,,not been defi-
nitely chosen, but Union officials ex-
pect the opera to cover as much if
not more territory than last year.

London, Jan. 23.-A dispatch from the
plague today reporting the Dutch gov-
ernment's reply to the allied note
demanding extradition of former Em-
peror William of Germany declared
the former kaiser can not be surrend-
ered to a third party except by request
of the German government.-
The foreign office is convinced that
the Dutch refusal will involve long
diplomatic exchanges.
The Manchester Guardian under-
stands that Holland indicates indi-
retty that there is a possibility the
former Emperor may be extradited at
a call from the League of Nations if
the tribunal which is to try him is
really international. Otherwise, ac-
cording to this newspaper, Holland
would refuse.

ng at Graham's bookstore. Reserva-
ions may be made there at any time
efore 5:30 o'clo'k Wednesday, when

fice of the Whitney.
Ne'W Method of Disposal
The policy adopted this year by the
lub in the disposition of the tickets
Jffers radically from that heretofore
mpoyed, as tickets have 'always been
old about the campus and reserva-
ons made after purchase. The in-
onvenience of such practice led to the
hanged methods.

Successful Play
Wednesday night's performance
arks the fourth production by the
omedy club of a play by James M.
arrie. "Alice-Sit-By-The-Fire" en-
yed its first success in New York
t the Empire theater, where Ethel
arrymore appeared in the leading
>le. Since that time the drama has,
een made popular throughout the
>untry by the road company starring
oselle Knott, Irnest Truex, Vivian
artin, and Fred Truesdale. As a
ehicle for stock companies the play1
is been extensively used.
Beg Your Pardon
An article in yesterday morning's,
sue of The Daily concerning an in-
rview with Prof. David Friday of
e economics department gave the er-
neous impression that Charles
vans Hughes was a socialist mem-
r of the New York state legislature.
Attention has been recently called
to certain rules, the observance of
which aid toward avoiding the spread-
ing of the disease. Dr. Forsythe men-
tioned them again, paying particular
attention to the first, that of strictly
aviding the use of improperly ster-
ilized eating and drinking, utensils. He
said that experience had proved that
infection caused through the using of
a patient's dishes, cups, etc., by an-
other not infected -to be the most vir-
ulent source, of contamination.
Rospital Excludes- All BRut Flu Cases
According to additional information
secured yesterday, the University
hospital has shut its doors to any
more patients save those who are be-
ing treated for influenza. There are
about 50 cases registered already,
among which are some of a serious
nature.
Dr. Forsythe said that it would be
the policy of the Health service to
keep any students who may become
infected isolated in their respective
rooms rather than bunch them all to-
gether in the hospital.
The Health service urges that all
cases of illness be reported for im-
mediate treatment and asks the co-,
operation of the student body; in the
matter.
Lists of girls who will attend
the coming J-Hop are wanted by
The Daily as soon as possible.
The lists which will appear in
the J-Hop extra should give the
girls' names, together with the
cities from where they come and
the number of the booth where
they will be during the Hop.
This applies to independents as
well as fraternity men.
The lists should be addressed
to Hugh W. Hitchcock at The
Daily office, Press building.-
Booths for the 1921 Hop will be
drawn at 1:30 this afternoon in the
Union. It is essential that all or-
ganizations who intend to secure
booths have representatives present'
at this time.
The charge of $25 for the booths is
payable at the (time of drawing as
well as the fee of $5 for the decora-
tion of them. Although the commit-
tee does not require that any organi-
zation decorate they feel, that it is
highly desirable that this be done in
order that the entire scheme of dec-
oration may be carried out.' No indi-
vidual decoration will be allowed this
year.
At the meeting last night in the
Union, all independents who are to
attend the Hop and all who did not
expect to be in any organization booth
were organized into two booths. It is
desired that all who were present or,
represented at this meeting commu-
nicate with R.' Dillon, '21, chairman
of the Hop, as soon as possible.

Ann Arbor concert enthusiasts sel-
d'dm pay homage to an artist by stand-
ing at the conclusion of a program
and applauding until he favors them
with innumerable reappearances and
encores, but that is what happened
to Mischa Levitski when he played
last night before 0Iill auditorium's
usual rather conservative audience.
It is surely gratifying to know that1
the pianistic field can also boast of a
first class musician of the younger
generation as well as that of the vio.
linists. American freedom, spontanie-
ty, and democracy, are interwoven with
the inherent reserve, intensity,' rand
subdued emotion of the Russian in
the, personality and playing of the
22 year old Russo-American.
Has Singing Quality
There is a singing .quality that is
unusual in his playing that stamps
.him as an individualist. He is able
to command the most powerful of for-
tissimos and still preserve the theme
without losing it in a maze of sound
termed noise; that is a fault so prev-
-alent among his contemporaries.
\is technique both on the keyboard
and with the pedal are noticeable
qualities, of his unquestionable mu-
sicianship. Levitski 'has a rather re-
grettable habit, however, of always
preceding his numbers with superflu-
ous improvisations that invariably end
in promiscuous trebles.
Continually Delicate
The program opened with the bold
and pretentious "Organ Toccata and
.Fugue in D minor" of Bach-Tausig's
followed by the "D minor Melody" of
Gluck Sgambati with its dreamy, vel-
vety, softnesses. Levitski preserved
the trend of thought by bridging over
the movements of Beethoven's "Sona-.
ta Appassionata". with sustained fin-
al tones, thus keeping the continuity
of the delicate trills that melted into
