Perhaps the trend of the times does demand that they be on more familiar tefms with gasoline and Pol- arine than any of the more delicate beverages, but nevertheless they are showing something of the spirit that their Baston forefathers exhibited at their Boston forefathers exhibited at gallons of Ceylon's best, iced and everything, at one setting. This was the actual displacement recorded at yesterday's lunch at the Union. Of course there were a few little entrees to occupy their attention between sips, such as 175 chickens, 10 bushels of potatoes, 350 loaves of bread, and 15 gallons of ice cream. The men are not accostumed to quite such an aristocraticmend as an every day occurrence, and finally con- cluded that the occasion must have been Denny's, the chef, birthday. Yes, boys, probably mother sent him a box from home with the suggestion that] he share his dainties with the boys.1 Mechanics Raid AppleOrchard Talk about raiding No-Man's Land! The nightly raids by the Allies in the different sectors on the western battle front may be a trifle more dan- gerous and a trifle larger, but it would take some night raid to compare to the minature raid members of the detach- ment made on the three lone trees in Dr. R..E. Drake's apple orchard yes- terday afternoon. Dr. Drake, before leaving on his va- cation, called up the training detach- ment and willed them his apple trees. A squad or more men left the gymnas- ium in one of the large army trucks for the scene. Within half an hour the three trees were stripped clean. Several members of the detachment who were so unfortunate to stand un- der the trees while they were being shaken, stated last night that they were in dire need of good steel helmets. There were about 17 bushels collected and distributed among the three com- panies. ,"NO BAND PLAYING, NO CROWDS CHEERING" Saginaw, Mich., Aug. 8.- Captain Frank a Picard, general staff at head- quarters, of the 85th Division, now overseas, has sent home a stirring message which 'will remind many of his friends of the days when he was quarter-backing the University of Michigan football eleven on the west- ern gridirons. "Pic's" message con- tains a punch which has an appegi to every red-blooded American citizen. The messge is to Postmaster Henry E. Naegely, of Saginaw, and follows: "Arrived safely overseas, no bands playing nor crowds cheering, but a spirit that cannot be downed sends patriotic cry after cry from the humble privates on board this ship as we lift anchornandstart toward the harbor." To Play Game Sunday Members of the training detachment will play the town team for the see- ond time Sunday afternoon at West Park. This game will also be for the benefit of the fund for the moth- ers of Company E boys. The training detachment team was defeated in the first game last Sunday, but the sold- jers have good reason to believe that they will bring home the bacon this time.

WI[LLASK500NEWA MEN FOGSEPT, 15 University Will Ask Government to Send Extra Motor Mechanics Month Earlier UNION BUILDING WIL OPEN The 500 aditionaltmotor mechanics 'ncluded in the contract which it is expected the government will sig with the University the latter part of this week or the first of next, will come about Sept. 1, if the govern-, ment agrees with the present wishes of the University.The original tenta- tive plan provided for the arrival about Oct. 15. It is expected that 100 of the signal corps men will arrive about Sept. 1, another 100 Oct. 1, and the last 100 Nov. 1, so that the full quota would not be here until the latter date. The schedule has been thus revised be- cause it will fit in better with the instruction resources of the Unive- rsty. Must Wait For Officers Nothing definite can be done until the arrival of government officers, who will go over the arrangements that have been made for taking care of the men. In case they are satisfactory the contract will be signed, it is under- stood. The new Union building is now suf- ficiently completed so that the mess- ing of the men can be accomplished there. The dining room has been es- tablished in one of the rooms on the second floor. Yesterday, members of the training detachment were engag- ed in carrying over and placing 96 benches which will be used to seat the men. They were made in the car- pentery shops by men training in this branch of work. New Equipment Purchased New kitchen equipment costing $10,- 000 is being installed in the new Union kitchen, and will be ready Aug. 15, when the members of the next detach- ment arrive. It consists of steamers, ranges, dishwashing machines and the like. There will be six of the latter, costing $3,300, replacing the labor of 12 persons. A large boiler has also been purchased to furnish steam for the kitchen. The board of directors of the Union met yesterday at noon and discussed the participation of the institution in the project. It will be necessary to figure very closely the expenses, as the aggregate sum of money concern- ed will run up into the thousands of dollars, and a slight mistake would mean that he Union would have a considerable deficit to bear. It is the intention to feed the men on as near- ly a cost basis as is possible. Noth- ing definite was done, but the Board will meet again next Wednesday noon to continue their work. Clean Up Grounds All the temporary bldings, piles of materials, fences, and the like, ae being cleared away from the grounds surrounding the building. There will be no attempt to grade it, however as it would be impossible to keep it in any kind of shape because of the trampling by the men. This will have to wait untilafter the war. A de- tail of 10 men from the detachment is assisting in getting the building in shape by Aug. 15. City Water Now Considered Safe City water has been analyzed by Dr. Frederick G. Novy of the bacteriology department, and a favorable report is expected today. The water is now considered safe for drinking purposes and the fountains in the University buildings and on the campus will be turned on today or tomorrow.
