vy is the anchor of the allied
ise; if it loses its grip, the hopes
the alliance are shattered. The
vy has safeguarded the transporta-
u of 25,000,000 tons of explosives
d 51,000,000 tons of coal.
Field Marshal Haig and General
ude, British commander in chief

DISPOSAL OF APPLE SURPLUS
CONFRONTS CONTINENT GROWERS
Australia Offers 50,000,000 Pounds of
Jam and 8,500,000 Apples to
World Markets
Melbourne, Australia, Oct. 30.-
Australia has a surplus of apples to
offer the world's market in competi-
tion with the American fruit.
How to dispose of it is one of the
probemstconfronting the government.
At the request of fruit growers, Prime
Minister William M. Hughes has an-
nounced that American apples may
be imported in Australia only during
November and December.
Australian fruit growers are relying
upon the far eastern markets to ab-
sorb the apple surplus but have been
somewhat discouraged by the informa-
tion that the United States authori-
ties also are inquiring whether or not
the far east cannot be made a market
for America.
The surplus of fruit in Australia is
due largely to the lack of shipping
facilities.
Australia has about 50,004,000
pounds of jam, and 8,500,000 of evap-
orated apples to offer to the rest of the
world. The British government has
agreed to take 12,000,000 pounds of
jam in the first quarter of 1918. The
Australian authorities are urging the
British government either to accept
the whole 50,000,000 or to offer to the
United States what Britain does not
want or cannot take for its own use.

The reading room in the new Li-
brary will be located in the front

Students wishing to do their study-
ing in the Library will use either this
room or the present study room on the

CUSTER MEN OPEN
"Y FUND DRIVE
$1,500,000 for Military Association
Work in Camps Asked by State
Committee
Officers and privates of Camp Cus-
ter will lend their efforts in a cam-
paign which opens this week to se-
cure $1,500,000 for military Y. M. C. A.
work in the state. Major-General
Dickman has expressed his approval
of the plan, and sanctioned the propos-
ition of sending the privates to all
parts of the state to speak.
Mr. A. L. Parker, camp secretary
of the Y. M. C. A., will begin the drive
at Grand Rapids and Saginaw.
Soliciting funds will take place
sometime early next month. The need
of more huts in Camp Custer to car-
ry on the service of the association is
imperative, according to the officers.
About one-third of the 15,000 sold-
iers in camp attend the Y. M. C. A.
Sunday services and an equal number
are to be found at the masses of the
Knights of Columbus. Nearly 2,500
are away from the camp on leave and
an additional 2,500 do not attend
church on Sunday.
Heat and light are furnished to the
Y. M. C. A. for its buildings, by the
government, free of charge. Most of
the structures were erected at a total
cost of $80,000. The running expenses
and salaries of the workers are con-
siderable, and it is for this reason that
the association has launched the cam-
paign for more support to better
maintain these soldiers' club rooms,
and to build more.
Plans for the University's part
in the soldiers camp fund are
being made and will be announced
later, according to a statement issued
by one of the committee members.
Collect Smokes for Camp Custer
All students are urged to contribute
smokes and books for the men at
Camp Custer.
Barrels are to be placed at various
places about the city and all contribu-
tions wil be received by the Sammies.
Come on. Do your bit, and help
make this consignment a heavy one.
Carrying guns for protection against
sluggers is the latest fad of girls at

reminds one of the famous "Peg O'

of good comedy running throughout
the entire play and every member of
the company is admirably cast. This
is also a play that appeals to the
patriotism of every American.
U. S. GOVERNMENT WVILL
FEED CAPTIVE SAMMIES
Supplies Already Being Sent To Ger-
man Camps Through the
Red Cross
The United States government is
preparing to care for all American
soldiers and sailors who may be taken
prisoners.
As Germany provides neither suffi-
cient food nor clothing for her prison-
ers-of-war this country is planning to
care for her own men in German
camps. Seventy-five tons of food
have already been sent to the 100
American soldiers now in German
camps through the Red Cross ware-
house in Berne, Switzerland.
The money which has been appro-
priated for this cause is not spent at
a rate which will exhaust the sum by
next summer, but is being conserved
for future use so that the soldiers
may receive the maximum benefit
from it.

board of supervisors meeting that isf
now being held. It is proposed to
raise more than $20,000 by means of

has been characterized by some of the
supervisors as too exorbitant.f
After the completion of the Octoberf
session, the board will adjourn to
Tuesday, Jan. 8, 1918. The matter of
the good roads project will then be
taken up again.

Soldiers of the national army at
Camp Custer have joined the great
national movement for food conser-
vation introduced by Food Administra-
tor Hoover. Strict enforcement of a
plan to reduce the waste of foods is
being introduced into the Michigan
camp.
Those men who are caught not
obeying the instructions of army of-
ficials to save foods will be lowered
in rank and receive punishemnt for
their offences. This strict ruling was
brought about after a rumor had been
spread that troops had been wasting
food. Civilians of Battle Creek have
also undertaken the task of food con-
servation.
ADVISORY BOARD OF WOMEN'S
LEAGUE WELCOMES MEMBERS
Seventy representatives of the
league houses of the University met
with the advisory board of the Wom-
an's League at a supper held last
night in Barbour gymnasium. The
meeting, which was the first of the
year, was held for the purpose of
enabling the members of the board
to become acquainted with the league
house of representatives who were
elected by the houses at the opening
of the school year.
Mrs. Arthur G. ,Hall is chairman of
the board. In the receiving line were
Mrs. Harry B. Hutchins, Dean Myra
B. Jordan, Mrs. William J. Husey, Mrs.
W. D. Henderson, Mrs. R. W. Cowden,
Mrs. William A. Frayer, Mrs. A. S.
Whitney, Mrs. Henry Adams, Mrs.
Junius E. Beal, Mrs. Gertrude W.
Slocomb of Chicago, and Miss Agnes
Wells of Newberry residence.
Washington, Oct. 30.-'More than
three-f ourths of the world's popula
Lion lives in the countries at wvar wit
Germany or her allies, according to
eompilations from government sourc-
es.
The persons living within the cen-
tral countries are outnumbered more
than seven times by anti-Germanic
populations, and the proprtion is
swelled even higher if consideration is
taken of the populations of the 10.
countries which have broken relations
with the central powers. Germany's
enemies now include nearly all the
white and yellow races, and the phys-
ical resources of about half the world's
area are mobilized against the forces
of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bul-
garia and Turkey.
It is pointed out that, of the world's
total population of 1,691,000,000 about
1,342,000,000 live under the flags of
the central powers' open enemies in
the war. About 40,000,000 inhabit the
countries which have broken relations,
and 132,000,000 are neutral, while the
population of Germany and her allies
are about 177,000,000.
Of the world's total area of 57,000,-
000 square miles, 27,000,000 are under
anti-German domination, while the
Germanic allies control only 5,000,000.
State department records show the
following nations at war with Ger-
many or her allies: United States,
Great Britian, France, Russia, Serbia,
Japan, Belgium, Italy, Portugal, Ru-
mania, Greece, Montonegro, San Mar-
ino, China, Cuba, Panama, Siam and
Liberia.

We Dress the Successful Man
Possibly the one great reason of this, is that Adler-Rochester Clothes
typify the modern idea of looking well without apparent effort.
Among those who give too little or too much thought to their dress, the
distinguishing thing to do is to give just thought enough.
That's all a man does who buys Adler-Rochester Clothes.
The man of slipshod clothes habits never occupies a chair at the directors'
table.
Success ties up with success, and if you are sucecssful we can surely in-
terest you as we have many others.
