Speaking in connection with the;
present nationwide movement for co-
'operation among the churches, Mr.
Samuel Atkins Eliot, of Boston, Mass.,
will head the program of the fourth
University union services to be held
at 6:15 o'clock Sunday evening in Hill
auditorium. The exact topic of his
address has not yet been announced.
Mr. Eliot is the only surviving son
of the late Charles W. Eliot who was
for 35 years president of Harvard uni-
versity, and like his father has been
for several years the president of the
American Unitarian association. Es-
pecially noted for his skill as presid-
ing officer in great meetings, Mr. Eliot
is well known for his strong an4
forceful addresses and commanding
presence.
During the war he was the head of
one national war-work council, and
was in constant demand as a speaker
at many of the army camps. Frequent-
ly Mr. Eliot has been the university
preacher at Harvard, Speaking brief-
ly every day in Appleton chapel. It
was only through the repeated efforts
of Mr. Sidney S. Robins of the Uni-
tarian church that Mr. Eliot was se-
cured for these services, as he usu-7
ally spends the month of March work-
ing for the United States Indian com-
mission.-
The musical program for the union1
services has been arranged by Mr.
Russell Carter of the School of Mu-
sic, who will lead the singing. Prayer1
will be offered by Mr. Sidney S. Rob-
ins, pastor of the Unitarian church.
Mr. Ray K. Imniel of the oratory de-
partment will read a.passage from the
scriptures.
Condemnation of the existing rule
forbidding political speakers from us-
ing Hill auditorium was made by an-
other University organization last
night when the Adelphi Housd of Rep-
resentatives went on record as fol-
lows: "Resolved, that the ruling of the
Board of Regents prohibiting political
speeches in Hill auditorium should be
rescinded."
The Varsity debate question, "Re-
solved, that the laborers of all cor
porations should elect 'two-thirds, of
their own men to the board of direct-
ors of the corporation," will be dis-
cussed by the Adelphi House of Repre-.
sentatives next Tuesday evening.

Tiflis, Transcaucasia, March 9. -
Several hundred persons are dad
and thousands of others are homeless
as a result of an earthquake today,
which destroyed Makhdt, Grakali, and
other villages within- a radius of 60
miles west of Tiflis,. .Transcausasia.
The city of Tiflis was shaken and
many buildings damaged.
Thousands of refugees are pouring
into this city. The constituent as-
sembly of the republic of Georgia im-
mediately voted 20,000,000 rubles for
first aid to the sufferers.
The railroad between Tiflis and
Batum was severely damaged by the
earth shock, while the station was de-
stroyed at Gori a short distance to
the northwest of Tiflis. The town of
Gori was virtually wiped out, and 100
dead have already been removed from
the wreckage. Twenty persons were
killed at Uplisjin.
AERO CLUB MAY ENTER PLANE
IN COMING AERIAI DERBY
Council Approves Committee For
Supervision Of Freshman Conduct
James I. McClintock, '21L, was
chosen Law vice-president of the
Union board of directors at the di-
rectors' meeting Tuesday to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Rollin Winslow, '20L.' Daniel Zim-
merman, '02L, succeeded Mr. Harry
Douglas, '90, as alumnus member of
the board. Mr. Douglas tendered his
resignation in order to be able to ren-
der better service on the board of gov-
ernors, and Winslow's retirement fol-
lows his graduation from the Law
school last semester. Both men are
to act until July 1, when the regular
elections are held. .
The general secretary of the Union
submitted a report relative to holding
in Ann Arbor a convention of uni-
versity unions and similar organiza-
tions. He stated that there are some
50 such organizations and that the
delegates would probably number 70,
all of whom would be given accommo-
dation at the Union. His report was
favorably' acted upon and he was au-
thorized to issue formal invitations
for such a convention, the date of
which will be determined later by the
board of directors.
Action was also taken with refer-
ence to the admittance "directors'
members" of the Union. Such mem-
bers will be representative men who
are not eligible for Union life mem-
bership. After application for mem-
bership And endorsement by two Union
members, 'the applicant's name will
be posted upon the Union bulletin
board for a period of four weeks, at
the end of which time his name will
be proposed for membership before the
board of directors. Provided no men-
ber of the Union can support objec-
tions to this membership and upon the
unanimous vote of the board of di-1
rectors, the man will be admitted to
Union membership. -
Hereafter the directors will meet at
11 o'clock on the second Saturday of
the month.

SMALL POX CASE CAUSES
VACCINATION AT HOSPITAL
A severe case of small pox, con-
tracted by one of the nurses at the
Homoeopathic hospital, has necessi-
tated the vaccination as a preventive
measure of all connected with the hos-
pital.
The unfortunate nurse is Fern
Dowding,. a junior in the hospital.
She was immediately removed to the
contagious ward last Friday when the
case was discovered and no new cases
have broken out so far.
ROUND-UP CLUB INITIATES
TWENTY-TWO UPPERCLASSMEN
Twenty-two upperclassmen were in-
itiated into the Round-Up club at its
meeting last night at the Union.
The annual initiation dance will be
given Saturday night, March 3, at the
Country club.
The terrifying, the humorous, the
cowardly, and the heroic aspects of
the late World war are to be depicted
at 7:30 o',lock tonight at Hill audi-
torium in the "Heritage of France,"
the famous war film which has the en-
dorsement of Generals Pershing and
Wood. This picture is to be shown
under the auspices of the Women's
league, which will give the proceedsl
to a fund for the rehabilitation of the
devastated portions of France. Miss
Grace Parker will lecture as the pic-
ture is shown. Music for the occasion
will be furnished by a trio from the
School of Music.
The picture was taken under the
supervision of the Allied governments
and show, Generals Joffre, Petain,
and Pershing in the performance of
their duties. It shows by actua 1
scenes the invasion, occupation, and
the retreat of the German hordes
from the devastated parts of France.
The plot is carried along by a few
professional actors, but the majority
of the parts are played by the French
men and women who were compelled
to remain during the German occu-
pation.
Tickets are being sold by all the
sororities, which wish to have it un-
derstood, however, that the exhibition
is not strictly a women's affair.
Movie to ,Show Manufacture of Tubing
A motion picture showing the man-
ufacture of Shelby seamless steel tub-
ing will be given at 7:30 tonight in
the auditorium of the Natural Science
building.
Small Roof Fire Occurs at 920 Monroe
A small roof fire at 920 Monroe was
extinguished by the fire department
with chemicals about 7:30 o'clock last
evening.
DEMANO FOR EDUCATED
GEOLOGISTS INCREASES
MEN NEEDED WITH EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION AND VEW-
POINT OF SCIENCE
New York, March 9.-There. has
been a marked and growing demand
in the last few years for men well
trained in geology who have at the
same time the educational foundation
and the point of view of the applied
science man represented by the engi-
neer, according to Dr. Charles P.
Berkey, professor of geology at Co-
lumbia university..
The general question of engineering
education, it was said at Columbia,
has been given careful study in re-
cent years. At Columbia the theory
is held that stidents should have col-
lege training before taking up the en-
gineering school work, and the Co-
lumbia requirements are such that all
students admitted -to the engineering
school must have had the c.uivalent
of three years of college work with'
thorough preparation in mathemat-
ics, physics and chemistry.
Engineers More Active
Engineers, it is pointed out by
members of the profession, are com-
ing to take a more active part in civic
affairs, and this, it is said, indicates
that the engineer of the future is like-
ly to be more liberally educated than
the engineer of the past.
The new type of geologist, by which
is meant the geologist with an in-
stinct for practical problems, and for,
furnishing prompt, definite and help-
ful advice, has made a place both for
himself and for his science, where the
more theoretical, or at least less prac-
tical, geologist of former days failed
to claim very serious attention.
Geology an Applied Science
Geology has become to a marked
degree in very recent years an ap-
plied science. It is well understood
that great numbers of so-called ac-
cidents in engineering and mining
work,'of calamitous or costly failures,
of excessive expense and delay, of in-
appropriate design and plan of ope-
ration, and of entirely mistaken or er-
roneous conception of the problem in
hand have been due to ignorance of,
or neglect of, the geological factors
involved quite as often as to mistakes.
on the strictly engineering questions.
A dam that is built, a tunnel that is
constructed, a mine that is developed,
a bridge, a pier or other heavy struc-
ture that is located, or a natural re-
source that is exploited without due
regard for all the geological condi-
tions, cannot succeed with the same
certainty that attends a proper con-I
sideration of these factors. This is the
field of the new type of engineering
mining geologist.
