BULLETIN
London, Nov. 20. Premier .
Lloyd George In his address at
the allied war council told the
mission that the collapse of Russ..
Ia and the reverses to Italy "made
it even more imperative than be-
fore that the United States send as
many troops as possible acrvss the
Atlantic as early as possible."
(By Associated Press)
The American mission headed by
Colonel Edward M. House, which re-
cently arrived in England for the pur-
pose of discussing and co-ordinating
efforts to win the war, has had its in-
itial meeting with the British war
council.
Details of the conference, naturally-
have. been kept secret, but announce-
ment is made that little formality at
tended it, and that satisfactory pro-
gress marked the discussion. The far
reaching scope of the conference is in-
dicated -by the attendance upon the
meeting of joint representatives of the
army, navy, the food controllers, ship-
ping boards, the treasuries, and war7
trade boards.
Italians Repulse Germans Four Times
Between the Brenta and the Pave
rivers on the northern front of the
Italian theater, the Italians are ten-
aciously holding back the enemy and!
preventing his advance southward to
the Venetian plains, the gaining ofI
which would Wreck their entire liney
along the PiaVe river southward to theF
Adriatic sea. Four times attacks
against Monte Tomba, the chief posi-a
tion still blocking the way from the1
hilly country to the plain, have, been1
repulsed by the Italians.
Capture Prisoners and Guns
East of the Asiago plateau the
Italians are keeping up their offensive
against the invaders and have taken
more than 300 prisoners and a number1
of machine guns and several hundred
rifles. Along the Piave river the en-
emy has apparently made no further
effort to cross the stream, after the
serious losses he sustained in being
driven back Monday from the Zenson
bridge head.
Shifting his offensive to the south,
Field Marshall Haig has delivered ai
series of attacks against the Germans
in the region between St. Quentin and
the river Scarpe.

GIVE
SKETCHES, AND OPERA ON
THE PROGRAM
Lulling melodies from Hawaii,
where the dark-eyed maidens dance
gracefully to the accompaniment of
,the ukelele and steel guitar, will soothe
the senses of those who attend the an-
nual Band Festival to be given at
8:30 o'clock tomorrow evening in Hill
auditorium. The Hawaiian instru-
mental pieces, which will be rendered
by the Wailana Four, overflow with
the spirit of the Pacific isles.
Jazz Music and Songs
In direct contrast to the soothing
songs from the South Seas, comes- a
"Joyful Jumble of Jazz," produced by
Cottington's Mean Music Makers.
More variety will again be heard when
Carlos A. Zanelli, '18E, appears in
operatic selections.
L. B. Emmerman, '18L, and Seymour
Simons, '17E, will entertain from be-
hind the footlights in a number of
songs written by Simons especially
for the Band Festival. The martial
spirit will shine forth in "Women of
Michigan," which is expected to be the
hit of the act. The other two songs
which Simons has composed are "Still
We Call Them Babies Today" and "I
Know a Girl," both of which are said
to be very catchy.
Vaudeville Specialties
Sketches from Dixie, the land of
cotton and watermelons, will be given
by the Darktown Four-tette. F. D.
Reider, '18, & Co. will be seen in "Ac-
tion." The band, for whose benefit
the Festival is given, will render a
few special numbers.
The entire program is one of varie-
ty, and has been planned with great
care. The predictions are that it is
going to be the snappiest affair of its
kind that has ever been given on the
campus. The talent which will take
part is high class, and practically
all of the starshave had previous -ex-
perience in dramatics at the Univer-
sity.
Tickets are now on sale, and may
be obtained from any committeeman.
