Withdrawal from Faculty Comes Aft-
er Investigation of Anti-Lib-
erty Loan Remarks
An anti-Liberty Loan remark was the
cause of stirring up a sensation which
resulted in the resignation of Dr.
Ernest Feise, associate professer of
German at the University of Wiscon-
sin.
Although he has been a member of
the university faculty for ten years,
Professor Feise is a citizen of Ger-
many. Upon America's entrance into
the war, he was permitted to continue
his connection with the university aft-
er he had signed a statement prom-
ising to take no part in the war and
war preparations.
The information was made public by
President Charles Van Hise who said,
"After investigation of the remark'
made by Professor Feise, it appeared
clear that his usefulness in the de-
partment and the university was at an
end. While Professor Feise's action
rendered it obviously impossible for
him to continue in the university, I
have no reason to doubt that he has
loyally and punctiliously observed the
parole which he gave at the beginning
of the war. In fact, he offered to re-
sign at once or any time in the future
if his presence in the faculty would
be an embarrassment to the univer-
sity."

Michigan is well represented among
the officers of the 161st depot brigade,

ident-elect of the -Michigan Union for

Mrs. Carles Vernou of 920 Baldwin
street will be at the Angell house at

WACO GUROSMEN NEED
MONEY FOR ATHLETICS
MICHIGAN SOLDIERS ATTEMPTr
TO RAISE $20,000 TO BUY EQUIP-
MENT FOR SPORTS -
Waco guardsmen enjoy sports which
are offered them at their training
camp, but they must pay the price of
sprained ankles, bruised knees, and
lame shoulders if people of Michigan
do not set aside enough money to buy
a small supply of sporting goods for
them.
About 10,000 boys from the state
of Michigan are located at Camp Mac-
Arthur, Waco, Texas. They are now
appealing to their state to send them
$20,000 to buy equipment for their
sports. This would allow two dollars
to the man, which would be ample.
Captain A. D. Newman, aid-de-camp
in charge of division sports, requests
that the people of Michigan do their
share in making camp life more en-
joyable for their boys at Waco. He
thinks that this amount which they
ask for necessary equipment is not
too much for Detroit and the other
cities of Michigan to subscribe.
He says in part, "There are many
Michigan soldiers here who cannot
take part in our sports 'because we
have not enough equipment to go
round."
The 126th Michigan and the 27th
Wisconsin infantry faced each otherl
yesterday upon the football field. The
rival teams played well and hard, the
Michigan boys winning with a score
of 27-0.
One of the greatest fistic artists of
the world is at the camp and offers to
take on every member of the camp
for a few rounds if enough money is
secured to buy gloves. Packy Mac.
Farland hopes to teach the boys
there a number of useful tricks of
the fighting game.
Captain Newman wishes that checks
for the sporting goods be mailed to
him at division headquarters, Camp
MacArthur, Waco, Texas,

parcels has once more been raised to,
20 pounds. Owing to the limited ship-
ment facilities for the transportation
of parcels to the American expedi-
tionary forces in Europe, this depart-
ment consented to take care of all
parcels for soldiers up to 20 pounds.
All parcels for the soldiers must be
in wooden boxes not to exceed two
cubic feet in volume, well wrapped,
and are to have ar hinged or screwed
top to facilitate opening for inspection.
Parcels must be marked "Christmas
parcels" and are to be addressed in
this fashion: Name, unit to which
soldier belongs, care of commanding
general, port of embarkation, Hobok-
en, N. J. The parcels are to be ship-
ped from Hoboken on Dec. 5, and are
therefore to be in before that date.
More buglers are needed for the ca-
det corps taking military instruction
under Lieut. George C. Mullen. Lieut.
Mullen is looking for two buglers for
each compnay, and since there are at
present 24 companies this will make a
total of 48 that are required. So far,
there are only four buglers for the en-
tire number of students taking mili-
tary drill.
A bugle and knowledge of three
calls, first call, assembly, and recall,
are all that is necessary to hold the
position. "Bugling" will mean that the
person will not have to take part in
actual drill and will still receive two
hours credit. This is also an easy
method to secure a commission as
bugler in the officers' reserve corps.
kind of coal they need.
I
To meet the situation the fuel ad-
I
ministration will modify the priority'
order under which large quantities
of coal are moving to the northwest,
and divert to steel plants by-product
coal necessary for the production of'
coke. The by-product coal is the only
kind the steel mills can use for mak-
ing coke, while other kinds of coal
will do as well for the northwest.
If, after the bi-product coal is di-
verted to the mills, a shortage is still'
threatened, the fuel administration
will supply plants according to the
amount of work they are doing for the'
government.
A report of the coal operators' aso-
ciation of Illinois states that there
has not been enough co-operation
among coal operators in the market-
ing of coal. The coal situation in
parts of Minnesota is considered ex-
ceedingly bad, and. coal dealers are
to prepare an estimate of the coal re-
quired for immediate use.
In Virginia, Minn., the hard coal
situation is pronounced the worst in
the history of the range, and but one
ton can be sold on an order, even to
large buildings. Mayor Boylan sta-
ted that he is convinced that there is
an unwarranted and exorbitant pro-
fit between the coal mine and the con-
sumer. The situation in North Dako-
ta has been relieved temporarily by
government interference, and the first
reduction of coal prices has been an-
nounced.

characterizes the personell of Ameri-
cas's training camps. Secretary Baker
announced recently, that reports from;
five or six of these camps seem to in-
dicate that money mad Americans
elect to be fighters. When the ques-
tion as to what branch of the service
is preferred was asked in the camps,
it - was found that the infantry was
first choice. Light artillery, heavy
artillery, and the aviation service fol-

"Christian Science is not a new
truth, but the rediscovery of a truth
ever new and ever old," said Dr. Fran-
%cr .
cis J. Fluno, C. S. D., of Oakland, Calif.,
in his talk on "Christian Science" last
night in University Hall.
Dr. Cluno is a member of the board
of lectureship of the mother church,
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
in Boston, Mass., and spoke under the
auspices of the Christian] Science
Students' society.
"Christian Science, or the science of
being," he said; "includes all true re-
ligion, and hence all that is good and
true any religion is a part of divine
science. It is the religion which re-
veals the scientific and natural rela-
tion between God and men."
