For Centuries
Before an audienc which taxed the
pacity of Naturl Science auditor-
m last night, Professor F. W. Kel-
y spoke on "The University of
Ichigan Expedition to the Near East
19-20". It was originally announC-
. that the subject to his lecture
>uld be, "Why Has the Turk Come
ack?" but due to numerous requests
om both townspeople and Summer
hool students he changed to this
bject.
'searched for Manusripts
The purpose of the expedition was
ofold, Prof. Kelsey stated, first,
at of making a thorough investiga-
n is, those military campaigns of
e late war which took place in
gypt and Asia Minor, and second, to
nduct a search through this great
rritory to recover all written rec-
ds, manuscripts etc., which' were in
nger of getting destroyed if placed
improper hands.
Arriving in Egypt, the party at
ce began their search for written+
cords and manuscripts of all kinds.
are great mounds, which had cover-
portions or all of many of the +
dent Egyptian cities were exca-
ted during the war, the ground be-
g used for fertilizer. Some of these
tes have been covered by the sand
d dirt of the Nile for centuries and+
any will probably never be found,
LB Egyptian government even con-
ucted railroads into these locali-
s to carry the removed dirt away.
me of the mounds, Professor Keb-
y stated, were eight times the size
our campus and from 60 to 70 feet
height.
Uncover Ancient Buildings
rhe uncovering revealed a host of
eresting facts, both about the early
yptian architecture, and about the
ucational methods of these ancient+
ople. In one place a monastic li-+
ary was uncovered with many of its
cords and manuscripts still in a
od state of preservation. These
Mv been purchased from the Egypt-
n government by J. Piermont Mor-+
mn. In another place an ancient
rial ground was unearthed, reveal-
9 the bones of men who lived be-
re history began.
Among the most interesting things
hich were found there by the party
d which were carried back to this
untry were a school slate, and pap-
us parchment of many shapes and
es, bearing petitions, edicts, and
gal notices and the like. The school
ates showed plainly the old Egypt-
.n methods of teaching the Greek al-
tabet.

ACTION IS PROTEST AGAINST
ALLEGED TEXAS ABDUCTIONS
Port Arthur, Tex., July 20.--By A.
P.)-The descent of about 20,000 foot-
loose members of the Industrial
Workers of the World on Port Ar-
thur, itself a city of approximately
20,000, has been called off cad instead
a general strike of the marine work-
ers, members of the I. W. W. is
threatened.
But a few members of the advance
guard had arrived when the 11thhour
orders of high officials of the I. W. W.
called off the march. They are in
jail.
Late last night, Sidney Terry, gen-
eral organizer for the I. W. W., an-
nounced that the impending general
strike would take marine workers out
of vessels in every American port and
the higher officials did not consider it
advisable to concentrate in any one
section. '
The foot-loose members had been
-ordered here in protection of the
rights. of three T. W. W.s alleged to
have been kidnapped away from here
and beaten severely by unknown per-
sons.
The marine strike is to be in protest.
Terry told the Associated Press,
against imprisonments, for violation.
of the criminal syndicalism laws and
against the recent court injunction in
California.
"The strike is to be general, af-
fecting all transport members of our
organization as they come into the
different ports after the strike order
is given," Terry said.
Besides the flank of the army order-
ed retained at Ne wOrleans, another
.flank, Terry declared, has been or-
dered to the New York sector, while
still other contingents from the west
will be diverted from their journey
here to strategic points to await the
"zero hour."
Then, simultaneously the strike will
go into effect over east, west and gulf
coasts and the word may come within
a short time.
New Orleans, July 20.-The police
deparment is preparing for the situ-
ation which might arise from the re-
ported concentration here of unem-
ployed members of' the Industrial
Workers of the World.
Shipping officials apparently are not
concerned over the threatened gener-
al strike of marine workers of the
organization.
Dean Effinger Plans Vacation
Dean John R. Effinger, of the liter-
ary college, will leave M onday for his
vacation which he will spend in the

Adirondacks. He expects to be gone
all summer until the middle of Sep-
tember. His office will be -open during

NUMBER SHOWS INCREASE OF
77 OVER FIGURES LAST YEAR
Officials in the office of Registrar
Arthur G. Hall report that the appli-
cations of 693 freshmen to the liter-
ary college have been accepted up
to yesterday, as compared with 616
one year ago at this time. This In-
crease of 77 in the application list,
it is believed, is an indication that the
freshmen class will show a substantial
increase this fall, although it is to
early to make a positive estimate.
Registrar Hall, who is on his vaca
tion at Coryell, Mich., receives the ap-
plications as they are forwarded from
his office in the University and admits
or rejects the applicants according
to their qualifications.
MOON VIEWED T H ROUGH
OBSERVATORY TELESCOPE
Under the direction of Prof. R. H
Curtis, assistant director of the Uni-
versity observatory between 8:15 and
10 o'clock last night, summer stu-
dents saw the section of the moon
which includes the "sea of serenity"
and the Lunar Appenines, and the
Lunar Alps. Because of the large
attendance, Dr. Curtis organized;
those present into groups and num-
bers were given the students by which
they were called to look through the
telescope when they reached the tow-
er.
Prof. Richard A. Rossiter pointed
out to the students the parts of the
moon that could be sesen through thei
12-inch telescope. The instrument wasI
the third largest telescope in exist-
ence at the time of its installation
in 1857. It is run by means of a clock
which keeps the telescope pointed at1
the moon continually; it has two eye
pieces, one through which the wholeI
sky can be seen, and the other
through which the students wereI
shown parts of the moon.
Other astronomical apparatus seenl
by the student groups include the
meridian circle which makes observ-
ations for determining time and by
means of which clocks are correct-
ed; a clock which is compared withi

FORSYTHE SPEKS ON
HEALTH AND RELIGION
Dr. Warren E. Forsythe, director
of the -University Health service,
speakdng on the subject "Where
Health and Religion Meet" yesterday
afternoon predict-ed that the time will
come when health and religion would
be so closely united in the thoughts
of the people 'that they "would march
in practice under the banner of serv-
ice 'to all mankind."
Dr. Forsythe, who has superintend-
ed the exam;nation of University stu-
dents, stated that the grat amount
of superstition which exists even to-
day is astonishing. "People in the
olden times," he averred, "ascribed
all their ills to some supernatural
power". And even today, the speak-
er asserted, there are people who
place their reliance on some old worn
out superstition. "We have freshmen
enter this University who wear little
bags of assofoedita about their necks
to keep off disease. The number of
lucky teeth and rabbit feet that are
used is astonishing," he stated.

Fermin Roz, writer of note, has won
the title of "Godfather of American
Students" in Paris universities byhis
generosity in aiding struggling Am-
erican writers there.

to go and three hours to make it in.'
I had been saving my engine waiting
for the last dash when the leak op-
