And now the taxi companies are
trying to get an increase!
There is only one thing less con-
ductive to study than spring fever and
that is Indian summer.
Few feature stories have been form-
ulating in The Daily since Friday,
when a Detroit man scared the idea'
out of many of us.
Possibly the capture of American
soldiers may awake several to the
knowledge that there is a war on in
Europe.
Judging from the digging still go-
on about the campus, the University
is preparing for a German invasion.
We'll bet those candidates of Prus-
sianism for mayor in New York and
Cleveland get bombarded. And not
with votes either.

-Marching song of an Allentown
Hospital Unit.
The following letter was received
by a former student of the University,
whose present address is Section 589,
Allentown, Pa.
Dear Daily:-Arrived in Allentown
at 1:30 o'clock this morning, handed
my pass to the guard at the agate four
hours before it was due, walked
through the gate and once more be-
came a high private in the rear ranks
of the ambulance service. As I passed
the barracks wherein lay the sleeping
officers of the station protected by
an armed guard, happy memories of
the past seven days flooded through
my mind, especially of how I had
drawn down the salutes usually ac-
corded to officers only, while in old
Ann Arbor. Leather "putts" sure do
make a difference.
Seven challenges from the inter-
ior guard delayed my progress
through the quarter of mile of cold,
dark barracks, but I finally arrived
at 89's row of box stalls, borrowed a
match of the barracks guard to light
a last fog, and sat down to tell him
all of the latest news from the Uni-
versity. One weed followed another
and in what seemed a very short time
after my arrival, the 'darkness and
quiet of the post were pierced by the
familiar "first call" sounded off some-
where in the darkness by the buglers.
Fifteen minutes later men shivered
forth, fastening a last hook on their
leggings, in answer to "assembly."
Fifteen minutes of "upsetting" exer-
cises followed and a new day was be-
BRONZE TABLET TO HONOR
LATE PROF. De V. WOOD
The new bronze tablet in the Engin-
eering arch erected in memory of Prof.
De Volson Wood will be unveiled and
dedicated soon. The ceremonies which
were scheduled for commencement
last June had to be postponed because
of delay in shipping the tablet.
Professor Wood was a member of
the faculty of the engineering college
from 1857 to 1872. He was prominent
in University life and had an interna-
tional reputation as an engineer and
author. In 1872 he resigned to go to
Stephen's institute.
The memorial was donated by alum-
ni who attended the University prior
to 1872.
COMRADES ERECT MONUMENT
TO HONOR CACO BANDIT HERO
Washington, Nov. 5.-A concrete
monument, moulded by his old com-
rades-in-arms, has just been erected
at Guantanamo, Cuba, to the memory
of Sergt. John Platt, U. S. marine
corps, who escaped unscathed in bat-
tles in China, Mexico, and the Philip-
pines, only to fall at Fort Riviere,
Haiti, Sept. 26, 1915, while campaign-
ing against Caco bandits.
Sergeant Platt was popular in the
marine corps and betimes, when other
duties did not prevent, his old com-
rades serving at Guantanamo, worked
on the monument which they have
just unveiled.
Fifth Ordnance Course Enrolls 108
Approximately 108 students enroll-
ed in the fifth ordnance course under
Prof. J. A. Bursley, yesterday after-
noon. Several more students are ex-
pected to enter the army stores meth-
ods classes this week.
The classes in the fifth course will
be devoted entirely to the training of
ordnance men, instead of quartermas-
ter and ordnance positions, as in pre-'
vious courses.

THE TAXICAB SITUATION
taxicab companies are petitioning"
city council for an increase in
es. They give as their reason that
y are pinched for money because of
present high prices.
the student body and faculty as a
ass use local taxis to the greatest
ent, and we dare say, more than
other classes of people in Ann Ar-
r combined. It is in a great part
business of the students and facul-
to see whether or not the ordinance
passed raising the rates. If they
e lax, the council may well believe
t silence gives consent, and that
companies have the sanction of the
iversity'in their proposal.
f on the other hand, we take an ac-
e interest in seeing that the propos-
increase is not allowed without first
thorough airing, the project should
doomed to failure.
Doubtless the companies are "in
1' with many, because they have al-
,ys taken an antagonistic and de-
[edly unbusinesslike attitude to-
Lrd the situation. At'least more than
e has gone at its work with the idea
at students and faculty who come
re have money to spend and that
e company might just as well get all
can. Any one of us can cite in-
merable instances in which the pre-
it ordinance has been broken by -the
mpanies themselves, and University
ople and their friends have been
ouged" as a consequence. Such ac-
)n is certainly not commendable,
11 not help the companies any, and
believe that the council will take
s into consideration.
A REAL CLUBHOUSE
Tonight witnesses the advent of the
aion's follow-up campaign -for mem-
rship., Tonight the Union starts on
work it should not undertake.
If Michigan students could but be
ucated up to the point of the real
lue of the Union to them and to their
niversity, such a campaign would
t need to be organized. Students
ould flock into the rooms of the
ilding glad of the opportunity to
in.
Never has that been the case, but
ere is no time like the present for
ginning such a practice. Go over to
e Union each of you, look around,
ke in the things' you missed in the
st casual inspection, possibly from
.e outside. It can be truthfully said
at t~e Union is thebcenter of campus
tivities. If you are a loafer, stay

as, the best thing you can do to start

I'm back in the old groove now.
Had two hours of foot drill this morn-
ing and monkeyed away two hours of
the afternoon shouldering , and
grounding litters and packing my
"wounded" comrades about on my
back in the latest approved fashion.
Several of us headed for a supply of
tobacco at the exchange this after-
noon, met a new section coming in
from Purdue university, greeted them
with the usual challenge, "Where're
you from boys ?" and then sang "It's
all over now" for their benefit. This
last song always kind of puts them in
the proper attitude to accept the
camp life, you know.
Well now I'll drop this letter in the
box at the "Y' tent after putting the
war ax on it and, then drop down
town for a short time to renew ac-
quaintances with some of my Penn-
sylvania Dutch friends. I may, 'for
life in the army does breed a spirit
of adventure in the soldier, take a
chance and go to the Orpheum, Allen-
