Enrollment Mark
Nears New Record
As 10,649 Register

Present Figures Reveal
501 Gain Over Same
School Period Last Year
Loss Of 178 Shown
In Literary College.
Virtual assurance of an all-time
high- in University enrollment was
given yesterday when figures re-
leased by Miss Marian -Williams, Uni-
versity statistican, showed a total
enrollment to date of 10,649. At the
corresponding date last year, 10,148
students had enrolled, with the final
figure hItting 10,964 for a University
record.,
0 the total number enrolled to date,
7,714 are men and 2,935 are women,
corresponding closely to last year's
ratio of 7,286 men to 2,862 women.
Most noteworthy, according to offi-
cials in the Registrar's Office, is the
decrease of 178 students in the literary
college with a corresponding gain in-
dicated in the professional schools and
colleges.
The total enrollment to date in
schools and colleges is as folows: the
iterary college, 4,408 as against 4,586
ast year; the engineering college, 2,033
as against 1856; the Medical School,
457 as against 459; the Law School,
606 as against 533; the pharmacy col-
lege, 72 as against 71; thedental col-
lege, 170as against 154; the architec-
ture college, 306 as against 310; the
forestry school, 167 as against 159;
the business administration sdhool,
164 as agaist 134; the education
school, 378 as against 331; the nursing
school, X254 as against 196; the music
school,231 as against 223 and the
Graduate School, 1504 as against
1255.
Tie :figures given above, Miss Wil-
liams said, do not add up to the total
giveni, since many of the enrollments
are in combined curriculum and thus
are indicated more than once.
A, total gain of 4.9 per cent over the
coresponding date lst year ism d-
cated by the increase of 501 students.
Mden's - enrollments increased 428 to
mark up a gain of 5.9 per cent, while
women's, ' with an increase of 73,
gained 2.6 per cent aver last year's
figures
The greatest gain in schools and
colleges was noted in the engineering
college with an increase of 177 stu-
dents over last year at the coes-
ponding date. Other colleges which
marked up increases in enrollment
are: Law with 73; the Graduate
School with 249; and the nursing'
school with 58.

ROTC Boys Fight;
Just Watch Their
Cheering Section
Two card displays will be present-
ed Saturday at the Michigan State
football game by the newly organized
cheering section, Ted Spangler, '40,
chairman of the organization com-
mitte , announced yesterday.
The center seats ih sections 22, 23
and 24, including 900 seats, will be
occupied by the new cheering section.
About half of these seats will be oc-
cupied by members of the ROTC.
These were all that could be contact-
ed in time for organization, Spangler
said.
"ROTC men will be drilled and in-
structed in the operation of the card
display at their regular drills this
week," Spangler said. "We have
asked them to take part because they
are the only large group on campus
who could be so organized that they
could present this type of display,"
he explained.
Don L. Nixon, '40, Union publicity
director, said yesterday that "the rea-
son a cheering section hasn't worked ,
here before is that no one organized
group took part and there were dif-,
ferent people in the cheering section'

Fuehrer Does Not Pledge
Definitely To Fight But
Crowd .Demands Action
Says Sudetenland
Is Last Demand
BERLIN, Sept. 26.--(P)-Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler told the world
tonight that if Czechoslovakia does
not give Germany the territory he
has marked as Sudetenland by Oct.
1 he will act.
"The time has come to talk busi-
ness," he said, and "the Sudetenland
is the last territorial demand I have
to make in Europe, but it is a demand
from which I never will recede."
Yet there was nothing in the speech
-an address one hour and 13 min-
utes long broadcast by radio to an
anxious world which hung on every
word-to indicate definitely just
what the Fuehrer intended to do.
Hopes For Sudetens
Apparently he still hoped to get
the Sudetenland-defined in maps
which he attached to his "final"
memorandum-by negoiation and
plebiscite.
He did not say outright that he
was going to war to get the Sudeten
areas -whichrCzechoslovakia al-
ready has agreed to cede him, though
she apparently disagrees with him
on the definition of the Sudetenland.
He did say, at well-spaced points
in the address:
"Mr. Benes (President Eduard
Benesof Czechoslovakia) must cede
this. region (the. Sudetenland) to us
by Oct. 1."
"We are determined, may Mr. Benes
know it!
"Regarding the Sudeten problem,
my patience is exhusted.".
Greeted With' 'er -
He proudly told, amid cheers of an
immediate audience of 25,000 In Ber-
lin's hugh Sportpalast, about Ger-
many's great military strength, her
mighty air force-in short, what a
great power Germany has become.
This all indicated, by inference,
Germany is going to fight.
But Hitler did not say so.
With every German ordered to
hear the Fuehrer by his own radio or
a public address system, Hitler be-
gan speaking at 8:21 p.m. (2:21 p.m.,
E.S.T.), a little more than three hours
after receiving Sir Horace Wilson,
personal representative of British

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 - (A') -,
Great Britain, France and little
Czechoslovakia hailed with enthusi-
asm and gratitude tonight a dramatic
appeal from President Roosevelt for
the preservation of peace.
But from Berlin, there came no
immediate reply save Chancellor Hit-
ler's declaration to the German na-
tion that unless the Czechs complied
with his demand for the Sudeten area,
Geirmany .would seize that territory.
At home, applause greeted the
President's carefully-phrased appeal.
Comment by the members of Con-
gress who are in Washington was uni-
formly laudatory. Many noted with
approval that Mr. Roosevelt's mes-
sage took an attitude of absolute
neutrality.
Informed persons said the Adminis-
tration had been watching for the
psychological moment to make the
appeal. The time was adjudged to
have arrived with the early hours of
today. Correspondents were aroused
from sleep and summoned to the
State Department. At three a. m. the
statement was handed.
Addressed To Hitler
It was addressed to Hitler and to
President Benes of Czechoslovakia.
Later the plea for peace was sent
also to Poland and to Hungary.
In his appeal, Mr. Roosevelt said
hostilities would result in "unspeak-
abe horror," would take the lives of
millions of men, women and children,
and shatter the social and economic
structure of every nation involved.
"The United States has no political'
entanglements," he said. "It is caught
in no mesh of hatred. Elements of all
Europe ,have formed its civilization.
"The supreme desire of the Ameri-
can people is to live in peace. But in
the event of a general war they face
the fact that no nation ran escape
WPAttill Aid
Battered East

some measure of the consequences of
such a world catastrophe."
Reminds Statesmen
He reminded Hitler and Benes that
theier nations were signatories to the
Kellogg-Briand Treaty and that
means were at hand for conciliating
their differences. No problem was so
difficult, he added, that it could not
be "justly solved by the resort to
reason rather than by the resort to
force." Throughout the crisis, the
President continued, both he and the
American people had "earnestly"
hoped that the controversy would
yield to negotiations.
"So long as these negotiations con-
tinue," said the Chief Executive, "so
long will there remain the hope that
reason and the spirit of equity may
prevail and that the world may there-
by escape the madness of a new resort
to war.
"On behalf of the 130 millions of
people in the United States of Ameri-
ca and for the sake of humanity

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-(/P)--A na-t
tion wide railroad strike was voted to-
day by organized workers-but timely
intervention by President Roosevelt
was expected to avert a walkout af-
fecting approximately 950,00 en-
ployes.7
All 19 Brotherhoods reported thei,
members had voted overwhelmingly
in favor of a strike. ~
Chiefs of 18 xrotherhoods grouped
in the Railway Labor Executives' As-
sociation and having a membership o'f
some 790,00 were authorized to call a
strike at 6 p.m. on Sept. 30.
The Independent Brotherhood of
Railroad Brotherhood of Railroad;
Trainmen ordered its members to quit
their jobs at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1.
Gporge M. Harrison, chairman of'
the association, announced the em-
ployes would walk out at the time
fixed unless, in the meantime, the
carriers withdraw their notice of a.
15 per cent wage cut. i
The railroads have notified the
workers that the pay reduction, cal-
culated to total $250,000,000 a year,
would go into effect at 12:01 a.m.
Oct. 1-next Saturday. The strike
was called in protest.
However, President Roosevelt, con-
cerned by prospects of a rail tieup in
the United States while European na-
.tions were engaged in warlike ma-
neuvers, has already made known that
he would delay a paralyzing walkout.
He told reporters last Tuesday he
would appoint a commission to study
the rail pay controversy. He is au-
thorized to take such action whenever
Interstate Commerce is imperilled.

An authoritative announcement de-
clared that if Germany attacked
Czechoslovakia, France would be
bound to aid the republic "and Great
Britain and Russia will stand by

It remained to be determined whe- -
ther France would consider a German
march into Sudetenland alone cause
for aid to Czechoslovakia or whether
an attack on Czechoslovakia areas
proper would be the only signal.
Neither Hitler's impassioned speech
nor the tri-power stand slammed the

Unlimited Funds
For Emergency

Pledged
Work

BOSTON, Sept. 26 - P(') - The
Works Progress Administration today
pledged its finances unlimitedly to a
hurricane-torn New England that al-
most hourly added to its list of 472
identified dead.
While Harry L. Hopkins, WPA ad-
ministrator, worked out a rehabilita-
tion plan with New England officials
at Boston, workers pulled additional
dead from the masses of kindling
that had been homes in seacoast towns
to the south.
"Any funds I have to administer
are yours," Hopkins said to the devas-
tated areas.
Storm projects would be put on an
emergency basis, he said, with regula-
tions waived and hours of labor un-
limited.
About $200,000,000 was the esti-
mate of damage in Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont
and New Hampshire.

Drawing a picture of China too
massive and too great ever to be de-
stroyed and determined to fight to
the very end with flesh and blood
against gunpowder and steel, Lo-
Shan Peng and Miss Hui-Min Yang,
two members of the Chinese delega-
tion to the World Youth Congress,
last night pleaded for the support
of the youth of the world and the
people of the United States not
against Japan or the Japanese
people but against war and militar-
ism. They spoke before a meeting of
more.than 200 townspeople and stu-
dents at the Congregational Church.
"China is not interested in right or
left but is martialing its forces to
deal with this life or death situa-
tion," Mr. Peng said in explaining
that China today, under the leader-
ship of Generalissimo and Madame
Chiang Kai-Shek is a new united en-
tity, and one that is prepared for a
prolonged war.
The Chinese delegates have been
tquring the country under the aus-
pices of the American Youth Con-
gress in cooperation with the Y.M.C.A.
the Y.W.C.A., the American Student'
Union and the American Association
of University Women.

While speaking of the horrors and
outrages that are happening in China
today Miss Yang burst into tears.
"The Chinese nation can never be
conquered and can never be enslaved,"
she said. But despite the ferocity of
the fighting both Mr. Peng, who sup-
ervised six refugee camps in Hangkow,
and Miss Yang said they held no
hard feelings for the Japanese people.
The Japanese soldiers were forced to
march and to kill at the point of
guns, Miss Yang explained. Japanese
fliers are tied to their planes so that
they would not jump in parachutes
to avoid their missions of horror. It
is only the superior equipment of the
Japanese that enables them to be
victorious at all, but in hand to hand
warfare they give way before the im-
passioned fighting of the Chinese, she
said.
Women take a very important part
in the fighting, the young girl scout
explained. She cited the case of a 60
year old woman who was instrumen-
tal in organizing one of the first
guerrilla bands.
Thanking the Americal people for
their support and sympatihy, Mr. Peng
said that the Chinese people are be-
wildered and confused because this
contry has contradicted itself by

War Victims Find No Peace;
Futures Have Gone With Homes


By STANLEY M. SWINTON
Driven by haunger and terrible fear
of sudden death from the sky, they
abandoned their bomb-shattered
Spanish homes for safety in foreign
lands-in France, Britain, Belgium,
Denmark. And, while newspapers
carried pitfiul pictures of sobbing
mothers and printed stories of shell-
shocked children, the world followed
their tribulations with avid eyes.
But soon the press lost interest
and Bilbao, Guernica, Santander and
Gijon became, once again, impersonal
words which did not hint of tragedy.
The refugees, safe in hastily prepared
camps, were forgotten.
But what happened to them after
that What were their lives like in

children built, lighting installed.
Cots, complete with lumpy straw mat-
resses and woolen, army blankets,
were installed. Over each bed a box.
covered with chicken wire was pro-
vieded for "valuables."
Warned by French authorities (in
this case the Prefect of Loir and Cer)
that "all refugees who do not con-
form with.. . orders or conduct them-
selves undesirably will be immediate-
ly conducted to the Spanish frontier,"
the refugees settled down to a dull,
life, routine.
Their mimeographed daily pro-
gram, headed by a note declaring:
"So that there shall be good order,
and in the interests of all, the fol-
lowing rules must be observed," ran:
