By BETTY AWREY The general library owns two books by Homer Lea, the frail hunchback who dreamed of being another Na- poleon, and over 30 years ago planned and predicted to the smallest details the Jap campaign against the Phil- ippines, Hawaii, Alaska and Cali- fornia in the present war against Amnerica. A recent article in the Saturday Evening Post relating the strange career of "General" Lea, as he called himself, has brought so many calls for the two copies of "The Valour of Ignorance" that one copy is now being kept in the rare-book room. The other is now on the waiting lists. He based his political premises on democracy not being prepared in time to lick the Japs, but he didn't count on the courage and military. genius of General MacArthur, nor had planes been invented yet. Never- theless, his plans have been remark- ably accurate so far. Aided Chinese At Stanford University he was re-# garded as quite mad, for how could a frail hunchback only five feet tall and with monstrously long arms be a soldier? Yet he not only did so. but became Chief Military Advisor of Sun Yat-sen during the Boxer Rebellion, and furthered the _,use of the Chinese Revolutionists against thre Manchiu reign. In July. 1899. he set out for China, gathering tremendous amounts of in- formation on military affairs through incessant questioning of army and navy men. For the Philippines he predicted the first Jap landings at Lingaven andsaid "thecity of Ma- Patients Fed ByVolunteers PDuringStrike (Continued from Page 1) i a complicated and time-taking ad- nila will be forced to surrender in justment of patient rates. less than three weeks."

Almost every other complaint that is made either involves a dog who is supposedly foaming at the mouth or students playing ball in the streets, breaking windows and causing other public disturbances. As a last resort the police depart- ment has pleaded with The Daily to ask ball playing students to refrain from playing in the streets. Ferry Field and the various parks through- out the city are suggested for all sports. Yesterday a complaint was filed with police that some students on White Street were making an unusu- ally loud "racket." A squad car hur- ried to the scene and found it was a fraternity initiation. New pledges were being dragged from their room- ing houses and cooled off under a garden hose. Police did not stop the ceremony but asked the boys to tune it down a little. John Troppi, of Battle Creek, who has been confined in University Hos- pital for the past two weeks was re- leased yesterday to find that the tire shortage situation has become ,a pretty serious affair. When he had been admitted into the hospital two weeks ago, Troppi had parked his car in the Hospital parking lot. Yesterday he found that someone had not only removed his tires and wheels, but had also taken his hub caps and log nuts. What makes him angry is that the thief did not even leave the car jacked up. Episcopal Bishop Dies Unexpectedly At Home The Rt. Rev. Herman Page, D.D., Episcopal bishop of Michigan from 1924 until his retirement in 1939, died at 6:30 p.m. today at his home here. He would have been 76 years old May 23. Dr. Henry Lewis, rector of St. An- drew's Episcopal Church, said that Bishop Page had been ill for six weeks but that his condition had been4 so improved that death was unex- pected.
