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.

Glory be to God there are no more of us, For one.of us could lick them all -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. STATE ST.

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.

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.
