AT THE WHITNEY.,
Happy Lou Whitney and her asso-
ciates presented "The Price She*Paid"j
last evening as the midweek change
of play at the Whitney.
The story is unique and novel, op-
ening with a prologue in Goldfield,
Nev., and jumping to diplomatic Wash-
ington for the remaining three acts.
Miss Whitney in the role of a dance
hall piano player, was excellent, and
the rest of the cast had splendid roles.
For the first half of the week, com-
mencing Sunday, W. C. Hermann's
great Irish-American story, ."Peggy
O'Moore," will be the offering. This is
one of the latest releases )and is full
of patriotism and comedy.
ALUMNI WILL CONTINUE TO
CATER AT UNION DANCES
Michigan alumni will continue to
serve refreshments at the Union
dances.
The plan of the alumni to cater at
the affairs was given an initial trial
Saturday night. Homer Heath, '07,
general secretary of the Union, is en-
thusiastic about the inovation and ex-
pressed himself to the effect that the
plan be put into permanent execu-
tion.
The moifey which is realized from
the sale of the refreshments will be
used to help support the Michigan
branch of the American university
union in Paris.
STUNTS AND DANCE FEATURE
LEAGUE MEMBERSHIP PARTY
4,000 SQUARE MILES OF LAND TO#
BE BROUGHT UNDER
CULTIVATION
Athens, Sept. 17.-(By mail.)-Depu-
ty Choremsi of the Greek chamber of,
deputies is the representative of the,
government in the gigantic farming
project for developing Macedonia, in1
which 4,000 square miles will be farm-
ed by 10,000 soldier-farmers, mobiliz-
ed like an army and living in tents on
the farmland.
"The development of Macedonia is
an outcome of the European war," said
Mr. Choremsi today. "It is in reality
a war-farm, for the war demonstrated
for the first time that Greece needed'
to produce more wheat and cereals at
home. While it had plenty of land, yet
it was buying two-thirds of its wheat
from foreign countries. Out of the
three million bushels it consumed
every year, it grew only one million
here and brought the other two mil-
lions from foreign countries. Greece
found herself unable to get the foreign
wheat she had always depended on.
It meant short supplies, and bread
rations, and a hard trial for the
people.
"The government is now going to
assist in making Greece self-support-
ing in foodstuffs, and this is going to
be one of the most useful economic
lessons of the war. We have plenty
of rich land in Macedonia, acquired
from Turkey as a result of the Balkar
wars, and the government now gives
250,000 acres of this land rent free fo'-
a period of five years. A company has
been formed with a capital of '$8,000,-
000 to carry out the project.
"Under the arrangement made, the
government has the first right to the
entire stock of wheat and foodstuffs
produced. But if the government does
not want the whole or part of the pro-
duct, then the wheat and other pro-
ducts are to be sold at prices fixed
by the government. This gives the
government a food stock to rely upon,
and also permits it to fix the price at
which the food is to be sold to private
consumers.
Camp Custer and Selfridge Field
will receive instructions from the Uni-
versity this winter, according to plans
just completed by the University ex-
tension department.
"We will not teach the history of
Germany, as we will that of Russia,
England and France, we will remake
it," said Registrar Arthur G. Hall yes-
terday in discussing plans for lecture
courses.
Instruction will fall into three
groups. Courses in French, physics,
map reading, and astronomy will be
given for those who are studying to
become teachers of the drafted army.
Lectures on history and current
events for instructional purposes will
be offered to all.
Slides and films owned by the Uni-
versity will be utilized for talks of a
recreational kind, and 50 lectures of
this nature will be given during the
seasons.
Both the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights
of Columbus are cooperating with the
University in procuring adequate
meeting places.
All the professors who will lecture'
have not yet been definitely chosen,
but it is announced that Prof. W. D.
Henderson, Prof. Moritz Levi, and
Prof. E. L. Curtis will offer courses
at both camps.

which one of his star linesmen he
should start first in the game.
Carpus, a former halfback is show-
ing good form at end. His ability to
pick passes out of the air puts him
in a class with Boville, Flecher, and
Stuart on the flank position.
Hobbs who probably will start th-a
game at guard Saturday, has been
holding down center during the week.
He makes the fourth good center, along
with Clippert, Mac Nickol, and Hobie
that Mitchell has on his string.
The other sub linesmen making the
regulars fight for their places are,
VonWagner and Tinchac and either
one of them can play guard or tackle
when called upon.

The Women's league membership
party in Barbour gymnasium yester-
day afternoon was an all-round suc-
cess.
Wyvern planned the entertainment
hour and the stage in the Sarah Cas-
well Angell hall was used for their
purpose. The stunts presented were
in the nature of pantomime and sil-
houette acts based on Mother Goose
rhymes and ditties.,
Afterwards the girls went down to
the gym where music, dancing and re-
freshments were enjoyed. Through
the efforts of the older students sever-
al new memberships were secured.
"The government supplies the farm
labor, mobilizing it the same as
soldiers- are mobilized for the front,
but the company pays the wages at
about 80 cents a day. The first real
start will be made next spring, as it
was too late this year to complete
plans and get the farming machinery
from America. The orders already
placed there call for $1,600,000 worth
of steam tractors, rakes, reapers, etc.
STATE RAILWAY CO1MISSION
OBJECTS TO INTERFERENCE
Lansing, Mich., Oct. 25.-That repre-
sentatives of the common carriers'
work to antagonize the public mind
against the state railroad commission,
was the assertion of Commissioner
Cassius L. Glasgow today. "They are
endeavoring to create in the public
mind a belief that it is to the advant-
age of the shippers to have all rail-
road matters handled by the national
commission.
"If all matters were handled by the
interstate commission it would re-
quire the unwinding of much red tape
in Washington and in many cases trips
to the national capitol to adjust mat-
ters. This would be an unjust burden
on the man who has a claim of $2.50
for instance, against a railroad.
The commission cited instances
where appeal to the state commission
brought immediate action in the move-
ment of small freight shipments,
which on an appeal to Washington
would have resulted in the loss of
much time. One was the case of a
wagon for shipment at bimondale
which lay on a station platform for
three weeks because train crews said
it could wait a carload shipment to
Chicago. On the day appeal was made
to the state commission the wagon
was loaded out.
Michigan men are coming to the
front.
That is the substance of a letter
from Sergeant Harry R. Louis, '19,
to Homer L. Heath, '07, general sec-
retary of the Union. Louis is stationed
at the concentration camp at Allen-
town, Pa., with section 590 of the Un-
ited States army ambulance service.
According to Louis, the following
Michigan men have been granted first
lieutenancies: Glenn M. Coulter, '18L,
Earl E. Pardee, '17, Earl H. McCauley,
'19, Fred G. Beattie, Edward P. Turn-
er, and. Louis C. Andrews.
"Many more are about to take the
examinations," says Louis, "and it is
a pretty safe bet that in nine or ten
months section 590 will not be a rep-
resentative Michigan section. Section
590 has already set the best record of
any section in camp in regard to com-
}Missions."
He says that two of the Michigan
sections at Allentown are goings to at-
tendthe Michigan-Pennsylvania game
at Philadelphia in a body.
"It is my earnest desire," concludes
Louis, "to keep in close touch with
the Union, which is really the organiz-
ation which started us on our cam-
paign in the United States army ambul-
ance service."

THE telephone plays an important part in the
daily work of every up-to-the-minate salesman.
From established central points a much greater ter-
ritory can be covered via Bell toll lines than is possible
when a trip is made in person to see each customer or
prospect.
The advantages offered by Bell service enable salesmen to
conserve energy, save time and increase the volume or
their business.
Free Travel Warrants for U. S. Sailors
Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Oct. 25.-Free travel warrants
good to any part of the British Isles
are now being issued to American offi-
cers and men as the result of an ar-
rangement between the British and
American governments. This free
transportation enables the Americans
to travel by rail and water from their
base here through Ireland over to
England and Scotland and back again
within their alloted time of leave,
usually ten days. It is extending to
the Americans a privilege long since
enjoyed by the British soldiers and
sailors.

READ WHAT THE CRITICS SAY ABOUT THIS PHOTOPLAY:
The picture is one whose every scene makes one more eager for
the next. The picture is bound to get 'over' with audiences who de-
mand high class, intelligently prepared entertainment. It is a credit
to Greater Vitagraph."-Motography.
"'Within the Law' thrilled and interested me."-President Wilson.
"As a good citizen I thank you for 'Within the Law."-Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
"'Within the Law' in pictures is greater than the 'play. It's worth
walking miles to see, and it's worth any price of admission anyone
cares to charge to have you see it."-"Zit," N. Y. Evening Journal.
"Everyone in the audience was bound to contrastathe screen ver-
sion with the play, and if the rest of the audience agreed with the
writer, they decided in favor of the silent dram."-N. Y. Trbune.
