SUBMARINE SINKS
BRITISH STEAMER
(By The Associated Press)
Washington, June 6. - Sinking of
the British steamer ,arpathian, 100
miles off the Virginia coast, at 9
o'clock yesterday morning by a Ger-
man submarine, was announced by
the navy department. The entire
crew was rescued by the steamer
Calmer, which arrived late today in
Chesapeake Bay."
Paris Receives U-Boat News
Paris, June 6. - News of the Ger-
man submarine activity, off the New
Jersey coast, was printed in Paris
only this morning, the censor having
refused to allow it to be published
before. The text says, "This is an-
other proof of the censor's childish-
ness, as the French public has shown
itself strong enough to meet all news
with calmness, and especially news
of this nature as it had been dis-
carded by the visits to America of
the Deutschland and the U-53."
France Confident of U. S. Success
Germany, it declares, has been forc-
ed to carry her submarine war to dis-
tant shores, owing to the Entente Al-
lied success against it in near waters.
The newspaper adds:
"There need be no doubt that the
submersibles will be received as they
deserve, and that the means em-
ployed in European waters will be
fully used across the Atlantic, where
the navy department, foreseeing that
it would have to defend itself, has
taken necessary measures."
KNODE ELECTEDCATAIN
OFs1919 BSEBALL TEAM
WAS SHORTSTOP AND LEADING
OFFENSIVE PLAYER ON 1918
TEAM
Kenenth J. Knode, '20H, shortstop
and leading offensive player of the
Michigan conference championship
baseball team, was elected captain for
the year of of 1919. Knode was one
of the veterans around whom Lund-
gren built this year's team and has
played a remarkable game between
second and third.
Ken, though somewhat erratic, is a
brilliant fielder, covering more ter-
ritory than any shortstop in the Big
Ten. Not only is he a ball player but
he has a personality that makes a
hit with the crowd as well as the
players. With practically every man
on this year's team scheduled to re-
turn to school next year, unless the
draft intervenes, Knode stands an un-
usual chance of having the honor of
piloting another championship team.
LIT-MEDIC STUDENTS
MUST REPORT SOON
Students who plan to transfer from
the literary to the medical college,
not on the combined course, should
report to Registrar Arthur G. Hall
at once, in order that their grades
may be checked up as they are re-
ported by instructors. These stu-
dents can then be registered by Dr.
Charles W. Edmunds, secretary of
the Medical school at his earliest con-
venience.
Students who are admitted to the
combined course will be registered
by Registrar Hall as soon as possi-
ble after their grades are check-
ed up.
No definite date can be set for reg-
istration as it is impossible to tell
when all grades will be in.
C. L. KAUFMAN, '19L, LEAVES
FOR SERVICE IN WASIHNGTON
Charles L. Kaufman, '19L, will
leave today for Washington, where he
will take a clerical position on the
general staff. He expects to be sent
to Vrance in a short time.
Kaufman is a member of Woolsack,
honorary law society, and Zeta Beta
Tau, and is ex-president of Menorah
and the Jewish Students' congrega-
tion.

Kraus, dean of the Summer session.,
"Last year we had 1,453 students ata
the session and both the number of1
iquiries and the informal registra-
tions equal or exceed this number,"
Professor Kraus said yesterday.
Prof. John F. Shepard, a member
of the administration board, advisess
all students who can do so to remainc
for the' summer session. In this con-
necticn he calls attention to the com-
munication of President Harry B.
Hutchins, which urges students to at-
tend the summer session in order to
complete their college course as soon
as possible, that they may be bet-
ter able to serve their country whenl
called to the colors.
A dvise Men to Stay in School
Attention was further called to the
fact that such men as President WI!-
son, Major-general Leonard Wood,
and Major-general George W. Goe-a
tbals have advised men under draft'
age to continue their ccllege courses
as long as possible, as well educated
men are especially needed in war
time and will be in great demand aft-
er the war.
War Courses to el Givei
Several war courses are to be giv-
en at the summer session in addition
to military drill and tactics. A series
of lectures have been arranged ex-
plaining different phases of the wat
and a course called "The Great War"
will be offered by Prof. E. R. Turner
Among the war courses are some
,,hich will prepare those taking them
t'or home service work with the
American Red Cross.
Besides the war courses, other new
courses are offered. One 'of them is
a course in library methods, to which
the student may devote his whole
time.
Session Opens July 1
The summer session in all schools
except the Law school will open on
July 1, and registration will be held
June 28 and 29. In the Law school
registration will take place June 21
and 22 and the session wil lopen on
June 24. The reason for this dif-
ference is that the Law school holds
two five week sessions while the oth-
er. with the exception of the Medical
school, holds one eight week session.
The Medical school summer session
lasts only six weeks.
COSMOPOLITAN STUDENTS TO

dolin solo, and Ester Cristanelli, of
the School of Music, will sing. The

ida, '20. This will be the 'final meet-
ing of the year.
Churches Arrange Summer Schedule
Ann Arbor churches have arranged
for the following program of summer
sessions, beginning July 7:
July 7, Baptist church in charge;

ciple; July 28, Episcopal; Aug. 4,
Methodist; Aug. 11, Congregational;
Aug. 18, Presbyterian; Aug. 25, Bapt-
ist; Sept. 1, Trinity Lutheran; Sept.
8, Episcopal; and Sept. 15, Methodist.
here from Prof. Charles B. Vibbert,l
of the American University Union at
Paris.
"What do you imagine %Jas our{
state of mind when on Saturday
morning, March 23, we were awak-
ened in broad daylight, to the tune
of bursting shells all about us!" he
writes. "At first all Paris took to
the 'caves,' so completely were we
convinced it was a daylight raid.
There we remained for five hours.
from 7 till noon, when hunger drove
us out; only to find all the stores
closed, the banks shut up, and all
lines of communication stopped.
Unheard of Feature
"The shells still continued to fall.
However, we now learned on very
good authority that there was a new
and strange and inexplicable feature,
never seen or heard of before. The1
shells were falling with clock like
regularity every 15 minutes, and they
were really shells, no bombs.
"When finally the government com-
munique came out in the late aft-
ernoon edition of 'Le Temps' an-
nouncing the shelling of Paris by a
'conon a longue portee' no one be-
liev'edit. so thoroughly had we all
become convinced of other explana-
tions, especially since a gun shoot-
ing 75 miles seemed such an absurd-
ity. It took a considerable number
of articles in the daily papers by the
most eminent scientists to convince
the majority of the population.
Airplane Raids
"Perhaps our trepidation would not
have been so great had we not been
treated to a series of airplane raids
by night as a preparation for the long
range guns. For three days and three
nights from March 22 through March
24 we were shelled by day and raid-
ed by night. So much of. the time did
we have to pass in the 'caves' that
we finally installed card tables and
arranged for two series of bridge.
The uncertain flare of four candles'
made any other form of activity im-
possible.
"Somehow I do not seem to devel-
op any genuine fear of the raids and
bombardments; and if I had my own
way I should remain comfortably in
bed or at work, for hours spent in
dark, damp cellars surrounded by
nervous women, crying babies are
very boring. I have about decided
the next time we have a raid to take
my typewriter to the cellars with me
and see if I can catch up with my
correspondence which grows like a
snowball.
French Confident
"You can have no idea unless you
are here how hit and miss life has
been and is in Paris especially since
the great offensive began. But we
can stand it knowing that what we
go through is nothing in comparison
with what the poor devils at the
front are facing. Fortunately pros-
pects look very much brighter than
they did between March 24 to 27. The
French show every confidence in the
world. The gift of the supreme com-
mand to General Foch has put new
life into them and given them a new
sense of responsibility. Their morale
was never so good, especially at the
front, as now."

ENTERTAINMENT PLANNED
FOR 100" NEW MECHANICS
UNION, FACULTY, CHURCHES AND
Y. M. C. A. DECIDE ON
FEATURES
Extensive plans for wholesome en-
terainment of the 700 members of the
second training detachment, which
will probably arrive in Ann Arbor
about June 15, are being made by the
University Y. M. C. A. This was de-
cided at a meeting yesterday of a
committee composed of members of'
the Michigan Union, the University
faculty, the churches, and the Y. M.
C. A.
! To Have Picture Shorn
If the . plans materialize, the 700
men of the second detachment will
have a moving picture show of their
own. The organization will probably
gain permission from University of-
ficials to erect a regulation "Y" tent
as near the headquarters as possi-
ble, which will most likely be in the
center of the outdoor running track
next to Waterman gymnasium.
Establish Hostess Parlors
Members of the war council com-
mittee intend to turn Barbour gym-
nasium into a hostess parlors,' where
the wives, sweethearts, and mothers
of the enlisted men can congregate
and visit the men of the detachment.:
At the present time this problem was
partly met by utilizing Lane Hall.
Men Finish Work
County Clerk Edwin H. Smith plans
to decorate the court house with flags.
The men will be escorted to the cir-
cuit court by an armed escort, and
will present arms as the men are
taking the oath of citizenship. A band
will play the "Star Spangled Ban-
ner" at the conclusion of the cere-
mony.
Work in the vairous departments
will be completed some time today.
The carpenters have succeeded ir
erecting the large wooden building
back of the old Engineering build-
ing. The roof was put on yesterday'
morning, and half of the concrete
flooring was poured by 5 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon.
