Duesselorf, Feb. 5-(By A. P.) -
Rapid strides towards realization of
French aims in the Rulr are being
made daily, according to announce-
ment from the occupational headquar-
ters, which point out that from eight
to nine trains of coal and coke, -or
about 5,000 tons, are leaving the oc-
cupied area every 24 hours for Bel-
gium and France.
These trains are manned entirely
by French civilian railway workers
imported for the purpose. In addi-
tion there are some 12,004 railmen
now famiiarizing themselves with the
operation of the German lines.
The French maintain that the trans-
portation shows improvement, coal
and coke being sent out regularly in
barges, by way of Strasbourg. Twenty-
five steamships in all have been re-
quisitioned and manned by French
and Belgium sailors. The river fleet
includes hundreds of barges, many of
which are already loaded with fuel.
The French pin great hope upon
this movement of fuel by water, but
admit that the 'system is not yet
working as smoothly as it should with-
in a short time.
Essen, Feb. 15-(By A. P.)--Trafflic'
through the Rhine-Herne canal, an
important artery for the transporta-
tion of fuel from the Ruhr, has een
blocked by the Germans. The block-
ade was carried out by German work-
men who sank a barge in the canal,
thus effectively tying up the water-
way.
Dusseldorf, Feb. 15-(By A. P.)-A
company of French inifantry with
n1achino guns occupied the Essen city
hall today, simultaneously with the
declaration of the 24 hour general
strike against the recent' arrests. The
electric plants continue to function. t
Trouble is again brewing at Gel-
senkirchen, where feeling is running
high against the occupying forces.
A French officer was accosted in the
street and beaten by a mob. The
French made several arrests. Many
officals continue to ignore the orders
of the French, and one of them, the
Burgomaster o Blankepstein, has
been sentenced to imprisonment.
SHUTER VISITS MADISON

Dismissal List
LITTLE VARIATION IN
NUMBER OF DELINQUENTS
Along with the grades, notices of
warning and probation are being sent
to those students whose work for the
past semester has proven unsatisfac-
tory. The exact number of warn-
ings and probations placed on stu-
dents this semester was not available
last night. However, according to
Register Arthur G. Hall, the number
approximates 300 of each, varying
little year by year in proportion to
the number of students.
In speaking of the number of de-
linquients, Dr. Hall -said that more
warnings and probations have been
lifted this semester than ever be-
fore. The administrative board of the
literary college is now culling the
list of students whose work has been
so unsatisfactory as to cause their
dismissal from the University. "Out
of this number", he said, "there will
be a few who can present perftctlyt
valid reasons why their work ha not
been of a satisfactory calibre, These
people will be allowed to remain on
probation".
The complete list of delinquents has
not been fully prepared and . conse-s
quently thenumbers dismissed and
allowed, to remain are not available
Unavodibale changes in elections of
courses in the literary college may be
still made between the hours of 9
and 12 and 2 to 5 o'clock today in the
office of the Registrar, room 4, Uni-
versity hall. In cases where the elec-
tion is changed without sufficient
cause, a fee of one dollar will be
charged.
Grades have been' sent out and
should arrive at their destination not
later than . this afternoon. The sys-
tem whereby students could have

Puppets Prove
Entertaining
Offering what might be termed a
rther pleasing entertainment, Ra-
chel Sewall and her Marionettes en-
'acted eight short playlets of many
different types last night in Mimes
theater.,
The first part of the program, how-
eer, was dull. In order to picture
these small creatures as the real act-
ors an almost impossible stretch of
the imagination was necessary. Miss
Sewall's interpretation of the charac-
ters was good but she seemed to lack
the abiity to make her actors reallyl
speak. The second part of the eve-4
nings performance, though, was much
better and during the last few scenes
these life-like little creatures of the
miniature stage hopped around and
seemed to be almost alive. The Ital-
ian opera selection from La Traviata
was especially good. Even the lips of
these string-manipulated figures moy-
ed and one had only to imagine him-
self a witness of the actual opera.
The circus scene which concluded the
program was by far the best offer-
ing.
. In comparing Rachel Sewall's Mar-
ionettes with those of Tony Sarg
which appeared here last year, it
might be said that Miss Sewall's were
less entertaining perhaps because of
the fact that her characters lacked
reality and differed so slightly one
from the other. Miss Sewalls inter-
pretation of the various characters
was monotonous. It was difficult to
distinguish which actor was speaking.
A similar performance was also
given yesterday afternoon in the
Mimes theater. T. E. F.

The entire direction of the play is

rehearsals, design the settings and
costumes, and choose the cast. The
first rehearsal is scheduled for next
Tuesday.{

two years ago by theTheatre urild

become popular and has been played
in many of the larger cities. It was
originally staged a few years back
by a London cast in the Gaiety thea-

Milne's work is a whimsical comedy
of English life. It is a three act play:
taking place on a July day in the
Marden House, Buckinghamshire.

Lansing, April 15 - (By A. P.)-
The attention of the legislature to-
day was focused more clearly upon
capital punishment as an 'issue than
any time since the beginning of the
session.
Proposals to legalize electrocution
for first degree murders were intro-
duced in the senate and house yester-
day. The house acted favorably up-
on the Pitkin capital punishment bill,
in committee of the whole and ad-
vanced it to third reading. It will be
on the calendar for passage early
next week and then is when the bat-
tle will come.
Senate Holds Back
The senate retracted somewhat from
its position of unqualified opposition
to the Wood resolution, proposing to
submit the capital punishment ques-
tion to a referendum by lifting it from
the table, where t was sent Tuesday,
and placing it upon the calendar for
consideration in committee of the
whole.
Interest in the capital punishment
measures was heightened by the ap-
pjrearance of Allan W. Kent, assistant
prosecutor of Wayne' county, at : a
hearing before the house and senate
judiciary committees yesterday after-
noon. The Wayne attorney stressed
the need of the legislation and com-
mended the senators' earnest and
thorough consideration, butt he frankly
admitted that he does not know
whether capital punishment will re-
tard major crimes.

F. W. Steere, '12E, president of the
Steere Engineering company of De-
troit, addressed the meeting of the.
American Institute of Chemical Engi-
neers last night in the chemistry
'building.
The talk was concerned largely with
the present great waste in energy,
and the necessary change that must
take place. Mr. Steere stated that
the gas industry has remained prac-
tically stationary for the past 50
years, but now, because of the clean
and efficient utilization of gars, the
country is necessarily approaching a
gas age.

ing, were forwarded to the joint com-
mittee today. At a meeting tomorrow
the committee is expected to take up
the proposal and at least use them
as a basis for further study.
Outstanding among the recommen-
dations is the proposal to consolidate
the War and Navy departments into a
department of national defense and
to establish a department of educaton
ahnd welfare. Others include:
The transfer of all non-military
functions of the war and navy depart-
ment to the Civil department.
The elimination of all non-fiscal
functions from the treasury depart-
ment.t
The change of the name of the post
office department to the department of
communication, which would be ex-
pected to develop and extend tele-

The inclusion of the general attor-
