CITY REPORTS NEW
SMALLPOX VICTIMS,
Taxi Driver and Mother Stricken Sun-
day; Students Urged to
be Vaccinated
Two new cases of small-pox were
reported to J. A. Wessinger, city
health officer yesterday. Rudolph
Burk, 22 Murray street, and his moth-
er are both in quarantine.' Burk drove
his taxi a day after he had contracted
I he disease.
Dr. Wessinger was not very opti-
mistic in regard to the outlook. "For
the next 14 or 16 days we may expect
new cases daily, and the students of
t" e University should take every pre-
caution."
Dr. Harold Forsythe of the health
service, said that the students should
realize the importances of such an
epidemic and should co-operate with
tVi health authorities in every way.
Students can be vaccinated free at the
the health service from 8:30 to 11:30
o'clock in the morning, and from 2 to
4 o'clock in the afternoon. Only a
few have been vaccinated.
"Possible exposure to infection
should make students realize the
gravity of the situation and help pre-
vent an epidemic by vaccination," is
the health service plea.

Struggle
Washington, Oct. 22--Coolness and
quick manuevering by Commander
Walter H. Vernou probably saved the
American destroyer Cassin from de-
struction in an encounter with a Ger-
man submarine in the war zone on
Oct. 16, the navy department was ad-
vised by Vice-Admiral Sims in his full
report of the fight.
Before she had an opportunity to
fire a shot the destroyer was hit on
the stern by a torpedo which killed
the gunner's mate, Osmond Kelly In-
gram; slightly wounded five others of
the crew and put one engine out of
commission.
The Cassin had been searching half
an hour for a submarine, first sighted
five miles away, when Commander
Vernou suddenly saw a torpedo 400.
yards distant and making for the ship
with great speed. Realizing that his
vessel was in imminent danger of be-
ing hit amidships and broken in two,
the commander ordered full speed
ahead and put the wheel hard over.
The boat was just clear of the tor-
pedo's path when the projectile ap-
peared on the surface, turned sharply
and hit its objective. Recovering
quickly from the shock of the explos-
ion, the captain continued the search,
and was finally rewarded by a sight
of the U-boat's conning tower.
Four shots were sent at the Ger-
man's and two came so close that the
submarine quickly went under again.
The Cassin, convoyed by other
American and British patrol boats,
finally made port.

Secret Session Results to Be
Public at Close of In-
vestigation
London, Oct. 22.-"I have- scanned
the horizon intently," said Premier
Lloyd George today, "and can see no
terms in sight which will lead to en-
during peace. The only terms now
possible would mean an armed truce
ending in an even more frightful
struggle."
The premier said he had hoped the
enemies' terrible power might be
broken this year, but that the tem-
porary collapse of the Russian mili-
tary power had postponed his hope.
The war, said the premier, was ter-
rible in itself, but more terrible in the
possibilities it revealed of horrors on
land, sea, and in the air. It must be
settled now ;once for all, he declared.
If the war should be renewed after
30 years more of scientific application,
it would mean the death of civiliza-
tion. Brute force must be dethroned
for ever.,
The way to thwart the war, Lloyd
George sai4, was to prepare for a long
war. He added, "I am not going to
predict when the war will end. No
man in his senses would prolong the
war an hour longer than is necessary
to secure a lasting peace, but it must
be a lasting peace, not a prelude to
a more devastating war."
More than twice as many German
submarines have been sunk in the
first ten months of this year as were
during all last year, the premier as-
serted. The British tonnage loss
monthly now is not much more than
one-third of the total destroyed last
April.

With President H. B. Hutchins and
Mayor E. M. Wurster leading the Lib-
erty day parade, Ann Arbor is to wit-
ness the greatest demonstration for
the. second national loan tomorrow.
President Hutchins issued a procla-
mation yesterday suspending all class-
es after 2:30 o'clock tomorrow after-
noon in order that the students may
participate in the ceremonies. In con-
formity with President Wilson's pro-
clamation in designating a Liberty
loan day, Mayor Wurster issued a call
to all merchants in the city asking
them to close their places of busi-
ness at 3 o'clock Wednesday and to
take part in the parade.
The march is to begin promptly at
3:30 o'clock from North Main and Ann
streets, from there it will move over
the important sections of the city. The
University band, two city bands, the
student body, the school children and
the Boy Scouts and every Ann Arbor
organization will form the nucleus.
S. W. Millard is marshal of the day,
President Hutchins and Mayor Wurs-
ter will lead the parade followed by
the University band, students, Red;
Cross nurses, city band and a mimic
British tank mounted with wooden
guns.
All bond holders are asked to take
part in the parade. Individuals are
to be supplied with flags. Organiza-
tions are requested to turn out in full
force with banners showing the'
amount subscribed to by their mem-
bers.
The line of march will be as fol-
lows: Starting from North Main and
Ann streets, the marchers will go to
William street, then east on Division,
again north on Division to Huron, east
on Huron to State, south on State to
Jefferson, west on Jefferson, then to
Fifth, north on Fifth to Williams,
where it will disband. No vehicles or
automobiles will be allowed. Every-

dent line of march. Particulars as to
the place of meeting for the students
will be announced in tomorrow's

IT. OF M. GRADUATE AWARDED
SIX CENTS IN DAMAGE SUIT
A judgment of 6 cents was awarded
to the plaintiff in the case of Walter
McKenzie vs. the Detroit, Jackson and
Chicago Railway company in circuit
court before Judge Kinne yesterday.
McKenzie, who is a graduate of the
University Law school, was thrown
from a moving interurban car in Ypsi-
lanti in October, 1914, and received
bruises to his head and body.
Failure to substantiate alleged
charges of bribery against a member
of the local draft board was all that
resulted in yesterday's examination of
witnesses in the grand jury investiga-'
tion conducted by Judge William G.
Doty, who is sifting the rumors that
a certain member of the board re-
ceived $600 for the alleged improper
exemption of a man from national
army service.
Among the witnesses that were ex-
kmined yesterday was the man who
was alleged to have been improperly
exempted as a result of paying $600.
The proceedings are drawing to a
close and the results of the probe
which so far have been kept secret,
may then be disclosed. Judge Doty
is at present engaged in a search for
the man who circulated tie rumors
about the draft board. In case he is
found to be guilty of wilful misstate-
ment a, warrant will be sworn out
against him charging him with
slander.

Menchhofer, '18, were elected presi-
dent and secretary of the Oratorical
association at a meeting of the Ora-
torical board last night in Mason hall.

ber of the executive committee.

failure to return to school of those
officers elected last year. According
to the constitution the vacancies were
to be filled by the Oratorical board,
but the board allowed members of the
Oratorical association present to vote.
Election of the other members to the
executive committee has been deferred
until the oratorical delegates are
elected by the classes.

tematized attempt has been made to
reach every league and sorority house
in the University, irrespective of size,

other universities in the middle NO
inquiring what games or contests w

ideas of this nature which were
jected, nearly as many for meth
of investigating possible plans to t
