Sections of Holland were placed under martial law to bolster military defense plans and to curb, espionage
as reports continued that Germany might strike at her allied foes through the Netherlands. Here, a group of
soldiers are seen traversing a walk near a camouflaged fort, similar to those built by the French in their Magi-

Mobilization Plans May Repeat
Campus Scenes Of Last Conflict
By LEONARD SCHLEIDER.
With U.S. military experts report-
ed to be completing at this very mo-
ment plans for America's next "M"
Day, the record of the University of
Michigan's mobilization for the first
world war reads like a gypsy's predic-
tion of an unpleasant future.
Down the road to war twenty two
years ago came carloads of propa-
ganda, a shipment of Enfield rifles
and olive-drab uniforms and several
tons of patriotic fervor, the like of
which this pacific college town had
never before experienced.
Athletics Susgended
April 5, 1917, brough news that
the Senate had passed the war reso-
lution, and the Daily that day told
of suspension of intercollegiate ath-
letics, organization of the freshman
class for its fii:st compulsory mili-
tary;, drill, immediate addition of
a course in military engineering and
the opening of an "intelligence
bureau" in the Union.
Later The Daily editorialized that
Michigan undergraduates could best
serve their country by continuing
their college work until called upon,
to serve the government, pursuing
military training in the meanwhile.
By the end of April a complete
regiment of 1,200 men was drilling
on Ferry Field, several professors
promised to join the "back-to-the-
farm" movement-during the summer,
200 students reported for training at
Fort Sheridan and the Ann Arbor.
Civic Association planned to plant
crops on every vacant lot.
Draft Act Passed
In June, as a fourth ambulance
corps was being recruited, the 'na-
tional draft act was passed and a
mammoth meeting was held to en-
courage registration. The Universi-
ty Band, the Spanish-American War
veterans and the trade unionists par-
aded as speakers belabored the young
men to "answer the challenge when
you go to register whether agovern
ment conceived by the people, of the
people and for the people shall con-
tinue to exist or perish from the
earth." Another compared the rally
to "a night before a great football
game. We are assembled here to put
the fight into the boys."
The next day more than 2,200 men
registered for service, each obtain-
ing a khaki arm band bearing an
American flag. "By noon," The Daily
said, "these could be seen on any
street in the city." One woman writer.
satirized the appearance of a "pretty
young chap with Pompeian cream
cheeks" who did not wear a khaki
arm band.

At League Tonight
Final performance of "It's A Small
World," marionette satirical revue,
presented by the Yale Puppeteers,
