ORDESTACCNATION TO'
STOP SMllPOX SPREAD
STUDENTS ASKED TO APPEAR
BEFORE UNIVERSITY HEALTH
SERVICE
Dr. Harold Forsythe of the Univer-
sity health service has ordered all
students who have patronized the
down town barber shop of Fred Stock-
ing, opposite the D. U. R. waiting
room, since the University opened, to
appear Monday morning for vaccina-
.tion at the health service to prevent
the possible spread of an epidemic of
small pox.4
According to Dr. J. A. Wessinger,
city health officer, the case of Harry
Hey er, 524 Hill street, a barber em-
ployed at the Stocking shop, who was
taken to the University hospital Sat-
urday, is not serious, but he deems
it advisable for t11 who have been in
the barber shop and those who have
never been vaccinated to be at once
as the exposure may have been exten-
sive.
"Students are often careless, and I
thought that it would be the best plan
to take all precautions to prevent a
spreadof thedisease,"said Dr. Wess-
inger.
IMPURE MILK KILLS
THOUSANDS YEARLY
Children and Infants Suffer Through
Carelessness of
Dealers
Lansing, Oct. 20.-That contam-
inated milk slays thousands yearly,
was the assertion of Henry L. Oakley,
assistant secretary of the Michigan
board of health today.
"We laugh at the ostrich hiding its
head when in danger, yet that is the
human trait in regard to milk," says
Oakley. "When the danger is not vis-
ible to the naked eye, we shrug our
shoulders-and let the children and
invalids suffer. Customers should visit
the place where their milk is bottled
and investigate the sanitary condi-
tions surrounding the dairy. The state
board of health is informed that in
some cities the old habit of carrying
milk in a large can and filling the bot-
tles enroute is still in vogue. City
ordinances should prohibit this and if
there is such an ordinance, the health
ot a community demands that it be
enforced. Do not wait for the calam-
ity to come before you start your cam-
paign against impure milk. While
many children become infected with
tuberculosis from milk of tuberculous
cows, many more are killed by dirty
milk from healthy cows. Ordinary
germs getting into good milk render it
poisonous and milk of this kind slays
thousands every year. Badly contam-
inated milk or -dirty milk is highly
actiye poison and is the greatest fac-
tor in the high mortality of infants."
FRATERNITIES MAY INITIATE

NOW WITHOUT RESTRICTION
Campus' fraternities may now in-
itiate their pledgees immediately, ac-
cording to a resolution passed yester-
day by the senate committee on stu-
dent affairs after a formal request of
the inter-fraternity conference. The
resolution passed by the committee is
as follows:
"Resolved, That in view of the .pe-
culiar situation -created by the war,
the rule restricting initiation into fra-
ternities to students having earned 11
hours credit of at least C grade,
earned in one semester, be waived for

GERMAN CRUISERS BREAK UP
BRITISH CONVOY IN NORTH SEA

Enemy Air Attack Meets
Five Zeppeins Brought
by French Guns

Reverses;
Down

(By Associated Press)
Germany scored on the water in
Saturday's news developments, which
recorded the breaking up of a mer-
chant convoy in the North Sea by raid-
ing cruisers that sank two British de-
stroyers and 9 of 12 convoyed ships.
The enemy suffered little less than a
disaster in the air, however, when
four and probably five Zeppelin air-
ships, believed to be returning from a
raid on England, were brought down
in France.
The sea tragedy cost the British 135
lives. The men on the destroyers
were left to their fate by the German
raiders. About 100 of the merchant
sailors are known to have reached the
shore in boats.
The story of Germany's reverses in
the air began with the account of the
raid on England Friday night in
which the bombs the Zeppelins
dropped killed 27 persons and injured
53 others. Reports soon began to be
received, however, of Zeppelins
brought down in France.
If, as appears from the dispatches,
these were the airships which raided
England, their struggle to get over to
German territory was a long and des-
perate one.
The situation of the Russian fleet,
which was caught by the Germans in
the Gulf of Riga, is serious. The Ger-
mans have placed mines in the gulf
to blockade the exit of the Russians.
On the western fighting front the
artillery battles are continuing.

TO LIBERTY LOAN QUOTA

LOAN DRIVE FAILS
TO MEET ESTIMATE
Progress of Campaign Falls Below
Totals Expected by Of-
a Scials
Washington, Oct. 20.-The Liberty
loan campaign today progressed to
the threshold of official expectation
and paused. Treasury officials had
hoped the two-billion-dollar line would
be crossed. Apparently the total
stopped just short of the mark with
an estimated report of $1,983,000,000.
The result means that the sum of
$500,000,000 a day must be subscribed
every day of the week of the cam-
paign with a few millions to spare if
the five-billion-dollar goal is reached
when subscription books close next
Saturday night.
Detroit went over her .maximum
quota of $43,000,000 today, taking first
honors for a major league city. Ef-
forts are now being made to reach
$60,000,000.

FORTY FIVE ATTEND 61Y
DR. J. R. MOTT ADDRESSES GROUP;
CAMP BAND PLAYS
"VICTORS"
Members of the faculty and stu-
dent body of the University broke all
expectations of the "Y" officials Fri-
day when 45 instead of the estimated
25 turned out to attend the Y. M. C. A.
day. at Camp Custer.
The group left here at 8:50 o'clock
and arrived in Battle Creek about
noon. In the afternoon they went to
the meeting in the Post theater and
listened to an address by Dr. John R.
Mott, a member of President Wilson's
Russian commission.
After this meeting they accompanied
some of the Battle Creek business men
to the cantonment. Upon entering the
new building which was being dedicat-
ed that day, they were greeted by
the strains of the "Victors" from one
of the Camp bands. All the soldiers
stood with them and the entire crowd
sang the Michigan song.
After the song was completed the
University delegation gave Michigan
yells, after which they listened to
speeches by Major-General Dikeman,
commandant of the camp, and by Dr.
M. S. Rice of Detroit, whom they are
going to try and secure to come to
Ann Arbor in the near future.
DAILY STAFF BEATS RECORD.
ON M. A. C FOOTBALL EXTRA
The first M. A. C. extra was on the
streets yesterday afternoon three min-
utes and 55 seconds after the final
whistle sounded over Ferry field. Last
year'srecord for placing the extra on
the streets was five minutes, while
that of the year previous was eight
minutes.
A crowd of newsboys met the first
throng leaving Ferry field at the Delta
and their papers were quickly sold. At
6 o'clock every person on State street
was supplied with a copy of the extra.
About 2,500 papers were run off the
press.
Mrs. Cider Hurt in Auto Accident
Mrs. William Cider, a resident of
this city, was knocked down and bad-
ly cut about the head Saturday night
by an automobile driven by Stewart
Warner, 1321 Wilmot street. The ac-
cident occurred at the corner of Wash-
ington and Main streets. Mrs. Cider
was taken to St. Joseph's hospital.
Spring athletics may be given up at
Cornell next year because so little
support is being received from the stu-
dent body.

WIEMAN AND WESTON
STAR FOR WOLVERINES
Big Tad Scores Three Touchdowns
and See Quarter Adds An-
nother Counter
Michigan secured just '27 points'
worth of revenge over the Aggies yes-
terday afternoon when the Wolverine
eleven trounced the East Lansing ag-
gregation by a 27 to 0 score.
In 1913, the Farmers kept one of
Yost's best teams from a perfect sea-
son by a 12 to 7 victory over the Wol-
verines and again in 1915 the gridders
from the agricultural school went
home with a 24 to 0 victory hanging
from their belts.
The defeat Michigan handed the Ag-
gies last fall was not enough to wipe
out the sting of these disgraces. So
the Wolverines picked on the poorest
Farmer eleven that has been on Ferry
field in recent years and slaughtered
its attacks and pummelled its tackles
and ends until they were crying for
mercy. When the dust of battle had
cleared away, Michigan's antiquated
score board showed a 27 total for
the Wolverines and a blank space for
the Aggies.
Weston and Wieman proved to be
the long and short of it as far as
Michigan's attack was concerned. The
little Soo quarter wiggled through the
Farmer Iine almost at will and scored
one touchdown on a beautiful run
around left end. Big Tad tossed the
opposing defense aside and swept on
for innumerable gains. He ran 37
yards to one marker with all the Ag-
gie team hanging onto his legs.
The Michigan line and ends come in
for their share of the glory also. The
threatened weakness of the flanks
failed to show itself, while the linemen
had no respect for the opposing wall
and tore through to stop numerous
plays behind the line. Boyd, Goodsell
and Weske were the best of Michi-
gan's forwards in this respect.
Boyd acts as captain for Wolverines.
Michigan won the toss and elected to
defend the east goal.
