HUMOROUS READINGS WILL COMPOSE PROGRAM TONIGHT CAMPUS AND CITY TEAMSTO CLASH In culmination of the summer ses- sion, baseball season, the .all-campus team will meet Millman's Ann Arbor Independents in a fray which is sched- uled for August 19, Ann Arbor's "Big Day' The game will be played in the morning, West Park to be the scene of battle. . The merchants of the city have pet up a purse for the contest, 60 per cent of which will go to the winners and 40 per cent to the losers. The man- agement of the summer session league states that the amount which the all- campus team will receive will square up all debts of the league. Millman's Independents have always had the reputation of being a strong team while the summer students, with George Sisler at first, "Tommy" Hugh- itt at third and other almost equally good players at other positions should make a scrap that will be worth see- ing.

ENGINEERS ISSUE' Nothing FroM dParty The art of 12 which was beinyP coan- ducted throug Europe by Prof James RAVELLERS ARBOR FRIENDS been on the continent for some time. As many of the student travelers went on cattle boats and with bicycles or motorcyeles, chiefly for the sale of adventure, friends here believe that they are making the best of the oppor- tuni e<, and that some of them will not come back for school this fall, but will remain until the war is over. Among the students now on the con- tinent are John T. Naylon, '15, Carlton Jenks, '15, Wilbur Davidson, '15 and Bruce Bromley, '14. The last word heard from Frances T. Russell, '15, who has been trav- eling through Europe on his motor- cycle, was from Brussels, Belgium. He intended at that time to leave in a few days for Paris. He is a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity and his home is in Grand Rapids. Former Student Receives important P'ost Paul Scott Mowrer, who attended the university as a special student from 1905 until 1908, has been ap- pointed London correspondent for the Chicago Daily News. The position comes as a promotion from the Paris ofce, and is considered one of the best foreign places. During the Balk- an war, Mowrer went to the front and reported events directly. Professor Has light Cousins in Army Among those who are worrying most, is Professor Carl 0. Sauer, mem- ber of the faculty of the Massachu- .etts State Normal College, and a pro- fe sor in the geology department here during the summer. He announced to- day that he has eight cousins in the tGerman army, all of whom are in con- siderable danger, according to reports received recently. Seven of Profes- sor Sauer's kinsmen are in the.Wur- temburg corps, which is protecting the Alsace-Lorraine frontier against the vigorous attempt of the French to re- gain their former territory. The other cousin is in the Bavarian corps, and Professor Sauer is uncer- tain about its present location. At the beginning of the war, two of the cous- ins were serving the one-year volun- teer term, and the other six were mem- bers of the reserve force. As proof that war was planned be- fore the open breach oetween Austria and Servia, Professor Sauer refers to a letter which he received from one of his cousins just before the hostilities began. The writer says that there was every indication of a coming fight in his section of Germany and that open preparations were being made in every quarter. Current Number of Camp Bogardus Paper Contains "Half-tone" of Barber INTRODUCE NEW DEPARTMENTS Camp Bogardus engineers, who pub- lish- a weekly camp blue print paper entitled "The Black Fly," have issued the third number, which they pro- nounce the best literary effort yet pro- duced by the camp. The first page contains a "half-tone" illustration of the camp barber, giving an adequate impression of the tonso- rial operations of the engineers during the summer when they are compelled to carry the axe and transit. There are no fancy chairs and not a single bottle of "dope." The outfit comprises simply a crude bench, a pair of scis- sors and a comb. Several new departments have been started in the paper. The "advice to the love-lorn" editor received a note from a Swedish gentleman asking how he could win the love of Sadie Klutz, a girl he had met at Topinabee. The editor has informed him that G. Bal- lentine is the man to ask. The per- sonal column has also made its ap- pearance and chronicles the doings of the camp society. The "big" story tells how the assist- ant dean's skill with the sextant was fully demonstrated and forever placed belond dispute. A mammoth pine near "25 State Street" had been "proved" by the dean to be exactly 107 feet high. The safety committee of the camp decided that it would have to be cut down as it was in danger of falling during a wind storm, and in doing so might hit someone. After the giant was on the ground the tape line was brought and the tree was found to be just 82 feet tall. The dean insists that the instruments are faulty "and we can prove it!" P. Bird, of the engineering depart- ment, is still unheard from. The party1 was in Switzerland at the oulreak of the war. As in most ether cases, relatives and friends here have little anxiety about the par- ty being in vital danger, but are sure that the travelers have suffered ecn- siderable trouble from the lack of ready funds and means of trarnsporta- tion. Prof. A. A. Stanley and other mem- bers of the school of music faculty are thought to be in London awaiting passage home, but no word has been received. Mr. A. A. Dudley, who teas been on a leave of absence during the past year, is thought to be in Switzer- land. Little News Froni Student Tourists Although a few student tourists have registered in London, most of those who went over in June have to the parks and boulevards.
