Attraction
(C. R. 0., .Jr.)
Big, bloomin', buzzy noise is the first
sign of the Michigan Union carnival
which opened yesterday afternoon in
the combined gymnasiums for a two-
days run. Passers-by can hear the
"barkers" and noise-makers a block
froir. the buildings.
The carnival was a great success
yesterday both afternoon and evning
Crowds continued to pour throuP the
doors from opening until closing time,
which was late. Eeveryone seemed
willing to open his purse wide for the
American Universities Union in Paris,
for whose benefit the carnival is be-
ing held. Every cent will be given
to the Michigan bureau of the ari
union.
Parade Successful
The parade held yesterday afternoon
to advertise the big show proved a
success regardless of the showers
which continued to fall almost all day.
Many of the floats and other entries
were not in the parade because-it was
decided to hold it, rain or shine, at
the eleventh hour. The Varsity band
had been secured for the event but
the rain forced it to cancel arrange-
ments.
About three blocks of floats turned
out to parade. Each one was repro-
senting the fraternity's booth it ad-
vertised-. The course began at the Un-
ion and wound around the downtown
blocks, on State street, and around the
campus. Crowds' turned, out every-
where to see it pass. The silver loving
cup offered for the best float was
awarded to Delta Chi fraternity for its
two wagons,.advertising a /professor
tiger-tamer. The cup is now on ex-
hibition in the window of the Busy
Bee. ,The water wagon float of Chi Psi
fraternity was also considered excell-
ent.
Booths Popular
The side show booths being run by
the fraternities were successful in at-
tracting many people at last night's
show. About 20 houses have booths.
The shows in all of them are quite
novel and; in many cases, humorous.
Tickets are pouring in to all the ex-
hibits
The bar, being run by Alpha Delta
Phi, is one of the most popular booths.
Soft drinks were served there in
abundance throughout the show. Lit-
tle Monte Carlo, by Phi Delta Theta,
was another of the money-gatherers
for the Michigan Sammies in France.
People crowded around the booth all
evening. The Delta Kappa Epsilon
booth, Spirit of the Nile, drew crowds
of the masculine students. An excell-
ent oriental dance was the attraction.
The baby incubator of Phi Gamma
Delta was also popular. Chi Psi's war
exhibit museum was complete in every
detail.
Delta Upsilon's duck the kaiser
- booth offered an opportunity for stay-
at-homes to take one shot at the
beast of Berlin. Many put all their
strength behind their throws. Pro-
fessor John R. Brumm entered the
cage of a ferocious man-eating tiger;
at the Delta Chi booth. The spectacle
was one that proved highly popular.
The Sigma Chi ring bell stand was
novel. The shoot the chutes of Theta
Delta Chi was always crowded. Other
fraternities having booths are: Sigma
Alpha Epsilon, ring a duck; Monks,

YANKS HURL BACK
HUNS WITH LOSSES
With the American Army in France,
May 29. The Germans launched a
heavy gas attack at Luneville early
this morning and attempted to reach
our lines at three places. They were
repulsed with heavy losses. Further
attacks against the American troops
who found their way into Cantigny
were announced. The overseas men
are holding their positions in the
shell torn village strongly..
Three continued attacks made by
the Germans to retake the land lost
in Picardy and Lundy completely
broke down in the face of the Amer-
ican artillery and the heroism of our,
infantry men. All the ground won by
the Americans Monday remained in
their possession.
Washington, May 29. - Consoli-
dation of positions taken yesterday
by the Americans in the Cantigny sa-
lient and the repulse of the renewed
counter-attacks, are announced in
General Pershing's communique is-
sued tonight by the war department.
The dispatch follows:
In the Cantigny sector we have
consolidated our positions in spite of
heav'y artillery and machine attacks.
Machine guns broke down our fire.
In Lorraine we repulsed three at-
tacks during the night.
It is an established fact that on
May 27 our airman shot two enemy1
machines instead of one as previously
announced.

SEltVICE SAYS SUWEON-
GENERA L
Surgeon-General W. C. Braisled, of
the navy department, has voiced
hearty approval of the work of the
I Iomoeopathic service committee in
its efforts to meet the critical medi-
cal sit nation occasioned by the war.
In order to thoroughly co-operate with
the government, and give prospective
medical students authoritative advice
as to the best course to pursue in re-
gard to the war, the service committee
sent an inquiry to Washington asking,
"Are we justified in advising prospec-
tive medical students that they are
meeting the needs of the country as
well by taking up the study of medi-
cine at this time as by enlisting?"'
The fllowing reply was received fromi
Surgeon-General W. C. Braisled.
Endorses Study of Medicine
"I can assure you that I most heart-
ily indorse your presenting to these
young men who contemplate taking tip
the study of medicine at this time,
rather than enlisting for immediate
service, that such action is in every
way an extremely valuable contribu-
tion to the safety of the nation and
public welfare.
"Should this present terrible strug-
gle last long enough to exhaust the
medical classes which are now under-
going instruction, and no replenish-
ment be provided therefor by such
E young men, our caring for the sick
and wounded in the military services
would be hopelessly handicapped.
Professions Face Problem
"Naturally the glamour of participa-
tion in the present great struggle will
tend to lead many into the path of
immediate military service rather than
to the arduous road of a four or five
year pursuit of a profession, and I
agree with you that a serious problem
is confronted in combatting at the
present time the former tendency.",
The Homoeopathic service commit-
tee at Mhichigan is the pioneer organ-
ization in this work of rounding up
the medical profession in preparation
for future needs, but the idea has tak-
en hold in many other medical schools
and they are starting organizations.
Several men from out of the state have
been to Ann Arbor to consult with the
seovico committee as to the methods
used here.

TECHNICAL COURSEF
TO BE OPEN JU)NE 15
Beginning June 15, and every eight
weeks thereafter, the war departmentq
will send 700 men to the University
for technical training. This will go
on indefinitely. Thirty-five instruct-
ors, beside the regular staff, will be
needed to train these men. Because
the University's contract with the
government is made on such a mea-
gre basis of profit, there is now a'
good chance for men who have fore-
manship qualifications and some ex-
perience in automobile work, and"
who are exempt from military serv-
ice, to serve the government here at
home.
The salaries for these men is.suffi-
cient to equal what would be a good
wage in normal times, but the engi-
neering college cannot afford to
compete with the big industries along
these lines. It is hoped, however, that
men, qualified for these positions will
respond readily, or the University
will not be able to hire enough in-
structors to give adequate service.
Two classes of men are required;
those who are experts in the automo-
bile trade and have foremanship qual-
ifications, and those who are special-
ists in different parts of the automo-
bile. Previous experience in teaching
is not requisite, but a thorough
knowledge of the automobile is essen-
tial. It is desired that these men
have at least a high school education.
Anyone who is interested and willing
to volunteer for this patriotic duty, at
a good salary, is asked to communi-
cate with Prof. II,. . Iligbie of the
engineering college.
['NIVERSTY lOSPITAL CALLS
OUT TWO FIE DEPARTMENTS
Steam escaping from a pipe on the
northwest corner of the orthopoedic
building of the University hospital
was mistaken for smoke last even-
ing and both the city and University
fire departments were called out, as
the result. The alarm was given to
the University exchange by the night
superintendent of nurses at ;8:21
o'clock and the city department was
immediately notified. . Both pumpers
and the service truck responded to
the result. The alarm was 'given to
Several hundred people hearing the
siren whistle at the University power
plant turned out to see the excite-
emtn and upon arriving at the cam-
pus found nothing of interest. Many
returned to their homes believing
that it was an advertising trick of the
managers of the Union carnival. Peo-
ple on the north side of the campus,
seeing the city department, followed
the trucks to their destination only to
be equally disappointed.
BATTLE DESTROYS LAND UNDER
CeILTIVATION IN ARMY ZONE
London, April 14. ---(Delayed)-Se-
rious loss resulting from the great
battle in France is the ruin of great
areas of land behind the old British
lines, which were under cultivation
by the army. The British and French
food production departments were
carrying out on a large scale a
scheme for growing vegetables be-
hind the lines for the use of the
soldiers.
The last official figure of the land
cultivated in this way in the zone of
the British army was 50,000 acres, al-
though in recent months the figure
has been much increased. A great
deal of new, work had been done in
the neighborhood of Peronne, and at
Ham, Epehy and near Chauny.

by General Foch
Paris, May 29. - After desperate
resistance and fight in the streets
lasting several hours, the French
have evacuated Soissons which the
Germans occupied, according to the
oflicial announcement from the war
office tonight.
SLondon, May 29. - "A hostile raid--
ing party was driven back during the
night in the neighborhood of Beau-
mont-Hamel," says the British offi-
cial communication issued this even-
ing.
A local attack made by the enemy
north of Kemmel was completely re-
pulsed by the French.
Berlin, via London, May 29. - The
number of prisoners taken by the
Germans from Aisne battle front was
increased to 25,000 by the official Ger-
man statement issued today. The
prisoners include one French general
and one English general.
(By The Associated Press)
In their violent attack on the 30-
mile battle-front running from Sois-
sons eastward to the region noith-
west of Rhiems, the German armies
are continuing to force back the
French and British on nearly every
sector. The fortified town of Sois-
sons at the extreme left flank of the
Allies battle lines has been occuiped
by the enemy, although the French
are still holding tenaciously to the
western environs, through which
there emerges a railway line leading
to Paris.
Berlin Reports 25,000 Prisoners
According to the German official
communication, 25,000 prisoners have
been taken and numerous additional
towns and vantage points all along
the front have been captured.
Rheims Doomed to Fall
Seemingly Rheims, like Soissons,
also is doomed to fall into the hands
of the enemy, as the French office re-
ports that the troops covering the
famous cathedral town which has
been the target for shells from the
German guns daily for several years,
have been withdrawn behind the
Aisne canal, northwest of the town.
On the sector directly southeast of
Soissons, the Germans now are fight-
ing relatively 12 miles from where
they started their drive Monday at
Vauxaillon, while farther east near
Loupeinge and in the vicinty of Sa-
igny, wedges have been driven into a
depth of approximately 15 miles.
Huns Use Fresh Troops
The Germans continually are
throwing fresh divisions into the bat-
tIle, but the British and French troops
are keeping up their ' tattics only
when it is impossible to hold the po-
sitions under the tremendous press-
ure of the enemy. Heavy casualties
are being suffered by the armies of
the crown prince, while those of the
Allies are described as relatively
light. Although unofficial reports have
mentioned the rushing up of rein-
forcements from the south, there has
as yet been no official statement that
General Foch is sending in his re-
serves.
