Extending his line on the Taglia-

far been able to hold intact most of
the Thies on the north and south fronts
aaong the swollen river, despite sever-
al attempts of the invaders to effect a
crossing.
The commander of the Italian arm-
"ies pointed out that though his forces
Aid been forced to retire, and had suf-
'fer ed severe losses in.men and mater-
tlals, the new line is much shorter
than te old and will be easier to de-
fend froma attack.,
With the present concentration of
Austro-Germa.u forces against the
Italians, there ,exists a serious men-
ace to the line iti the nature of a
flank thrust to the north. Close at-
tention is being paid td the Trentino,
where heavy concentratiOi of troops

Berlin announces the completd with-
qdrawal of her forces from the Chem-
in4es Dames plateau. The movement
was tb0 result of recent French Sae'.
easses southwest of Laon, which gave

This made a large section untenable

U. S. TO INQUIRE WHY MUCK
REFUSES TO PLAY "0, SAY"
Washington, Nov. 3.-The artistic
sensibilities of Dr. Carl Muck, leader
of the Boston Symphony orchestra,
who refuses to play "The Star Spa4ge
led Banner," may become somewhat
ruffled, as the result of a quiet inves-
tigatio W'hich has been ordered by thes
department of justice. The depart-
ment of justice agents will look behinda
the refusal in the part of the orches-
tra leader. If it should be show 4, pr
example, that Dr. Muck is a Germa
sympathizer he could be placed in al
detention camp.
U. S. SAILOR FLEES VESSEL
TO LEAUN "ALTAR STEPS"
Washington, Nov. 3.-Berlin's an-
nouncement today that, "North Ameri-
can" soldiers were captured by Ger-
man patrols on the French front,
brought the American people a step
;nearer the heart of the conflict.
There is no doubt that the men refer-
red to are members of Pershing's
forces undergoing final training with
French regiments in the front line
of trenches: Confirmation by General
Pershing is lacking, but in the course
of time the names of those missing
will be forwarded.
If, as is assumed, small scouting
parties are takesn by the German pa-
trols in No Man's Land and all are
captured the details may never be told,
since only captors and captured know
what has happened in the darkness.
This is the first report received of'
the capture of American soldiers, but
a number of naval gunners from ship,
sunk by submarines in addition to civ-
ilians and crews are held in German
'prisons.
No night passes but that the patrols
on many parts of the battle lines hap-1
pen on each other. Sometimes there
'is firing, but seldom. Trench lines with
rifles, machine guns, and star rockets,
which are ready to burst at the first
hint of danger hang over both friend
and foe. Usually when the enemy pa-
trol is seen, the soldier stalks stealth-.
ily behind. The time comes, the sur-1
prise is made. Swift, silent, hand-to-
hand, is the fight, but there are no
shots fired. The victor carries away
his prisoners and the report goes out
in the enemy camp that so many men
from the patrol are missing.1
Officers believe this is what is hap-z
pening on the French and American
fronts.c
AMERICAN FIIHTING PLANE 1
MAKES SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT
In a session of the men's committees
and canvassers for the Friendship war
fund campaign for Y. M. C. A. work in
prison camps, to be held in Lane hall
at 6:30 o'clock, Sunday evening, plans
for a $25,000 drive among the students
of the University will be outlined.
The faculty and women's commit-
tees will not meet Sunday but will
plan their work separately. Nearly
200 men are expected to join in the
discussion. They will include the
house-to-house canvass and fraternity
committees,
No One Has Refused to Help
"No one has turned us down on the
proposition of agreeing to help," de-
clared Mr. N. C. Fetter, secretary of
the campaign.
Four questions will be explained at
the conference, Sunday: What the
campaign is will be told by Mr. Fetter;
"Who are doing it," by Cyril Harris,
curator of Hobart Guild, and "How,"
by the Rev. Lloyd C. Douglas. The
Reverend Douglas is pastor of the
Congregational church and was sec-
retary of the publicity campaign for
the national committee on the Friend-
ship war fund in New York. Edwin
Cunliffe, '19, will answer questions re-
lative to the drive in the University.
No subscriptions are to be taken.
The call for the meeting was issuedJ
by the executive committee: ;S. S.
Attwood, '18E; George F. Hurley, '18L;
Robert McDonald, '18; Merle B. Doty,
'18E.
Colleges Responding Well
"The colleges of the country are
responding better than the national
committee expected," said the Rev.
Douglas when questioned about the
million dollar campaign for Y. M. C.
A. war work among students. "Notj
only are the eastern colleges and uni-
versities setting a pace for their fel-
lows, but they are also raising the
quota of the campaign."
General Pershing, with the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces in France,
said
"The work now being done by the
Y. M. C. A. for the comfort and en-
tertainment of our soldiers is very
important. An an organization its
moral influence is highly beneficial.
It performs a real service that makes
for contentment. The Y. M. C. A. hasI
won its place by unselfish personal de-.
votion to the soldiers' welfare and de-{
serves staunch s4pport by our peo-t

DUES MORE THAN $12 SUBJECT
TO 10 PER CENT FEDERAL
ASSESSMENT
Fraternity initiation fees and dues
in excess of $12 may be subject to a
10 percent tax according to a recent
act passed by Congress,
Michigan University fraternities are
for the most part uncertain as to
whether they come under the law or
not. Several were approached rela-
tive to the matter and stated that they
had received no notification either
from the government or their national
chapters to the effect that the tax ap-
plied to them.
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity said
that they had been notified by their
national headquarters to collect 10
percent from every initiate and mem-
ber paying dues or fees in excess of
$12. The money will be refunded
should the law not apply.
The new t'ax, which went into ef-
fect Nov. 1, is part of the war revenue
bill, which has taxed so many luxuries
and increased postage as war meas-
ure.
In some universities of the country,
the tax was avoided by paying yearly
dues before Nov. 1. It was not done
here to any great extent, for a good
many of the fraternities and sororities
had heard nothing of the tax,

fraternities in the University will be
considerable, it is said, should the tax
apply to them as social organizations.
* The section of the act is as follows:
Sec. 701, That from and after the
first day of November, 1917, there shall
be levied, assessed, collected, and
paid, a tax equivalent to 10 per-
centum of any amount paid as dues
or membership fees (including initi-
ation), to any social, athletic, or
sporting club or organization, where
such dues are in excess of $12 per
year; such taxes to be paid by the
person paying such dues or. fees.
Section 702 requires the club to
collect the taxes provided for in sec-
tion 701.
