GERMAN RAIDER STRANDS
ISLAND OF MOPHA; CREW
LAND

ON

SEIZE FRENCH VESSEL
LUTERE AND ALL HANDS
Put to Sea in Captured Ship Leaving
Prisoners Who Later Reach
Tutila in Safety
Washington, Oct. 4.-Two German
commerce raiders commanded by two
of the famous "sea adders" are now
stranded on the Mopha Islands in the
South Pacific after roaming the south
seas for seven months preying upon
American and allied shipping, accord-
ing to the report received tonight
from the. commander of the national
station at Tutila, Samoan Islands.
The dispatch transmitting the story
of the capture of the American schoon-
erC. Slade, one of the Seattle victims,
wap sent on Sept. 29, several weeks
after the two new raiders left Mopha
Islands.
The first put to sea on Aug. 21, and
the second on Sept. 5. Before com-
ing to grief on Aug. 2, the "sea adders"
had added the American schooner, A.
B. Johnston, Manila and Slade to the
list, and at least 12 allied vessels
which were sunk earlier this year
in the South Atlantic ocean.
The raider, according to the ad-
mirality report, arrived at Mopha
July 31. Two days later she stranded
on the island, a total loss, the master
and crew, with 27 white men and 17
natives prisoners making shore in
safety. The company remained there
until Aug. 21 when three officers and
two men put to sea in a motor sloop
" with' machine guns, rifle bombs, and
about two months' supplies.
The remainder of the crew remained
on the island until Sept. 5, when the
French. schooner, Lutere, arrived at
Mopha and was seized.
The Germans immediately put to sea
in her. Their prisoners were left on
the almost desolate island, but on
dept 19, 36 of the prisoners departed
.in an open boat and reached Tutila 10
days later. They were badly in need
of food and water.
MEXICO'S CELEBRATION HELD
WITHOUT DROP OF LIQUOR
Mexico City, Oct. 4.-Drunkenness
was absolutely eliminated from the
107th celebration of the anniversary of
Mexico's independence. All bars, sa-.
loons and places where liquor is sold
were closed on the night of Sept. 14,
and were not reopened until Sept. 15.
On the night of Sept. 15, when the
president of the republic rang the
same bell used by Hidalgo to summon
the people when he proclaimed the
independence of Mexico from Spain,
the Zocalo or plaza before the national
palace was filled with a crowd of
more than 55,000 persons and it is be-
lieved there was not an intoxicated
person among them. Throughout the
three days of celebration, the streets
9! the capital were filled with people,
horns were blown, confetti was scat-
tered, and horseplay was indulged in
but there were no serious disorders.
DR. ELOISE WALKER SUCCEEDS
DR. PRATT AT HEALTH SERVICE
Dr. Eloise Walker, '93, '96M, has
been appointed to succeed Dr. Elsie
Seelye Pratt, 'p4M, as woman's phy-
sician in the 'Universitj health serv-
ice. Dr. Pratt has resigned and re-
turned to Denver, where she will re-
sume a partnership with Dr. Frazier,
. which was interrupted when she took
up her work in the Jniversity.
At present Dr. Walker is a mem-
br of the staff in the New York state

hospital at Binghamton, N. Y., but she
will come to Ann Arbor next week to
take up her work in the University.

ANN ARBOR OBEYS
FOOD DICTATOR
Wheatless and Meatless Days Begin
in Local Homes, Hotels, and
Restaurants
Wheatless and meatless days are
now in vogue in Ann Arbor in hotels,
restaurants, private homes and board-
ing houses.
The Allenel and Whitney hotels
serve fish but no meat on Tuesdays
and no food containing wheat on Wed-
nesdays. This is in accordance with
the scheme of Food Administrator
Prescott.
"How do our patrons like it? Why
any patriotic citizen if asked to eat
meat or wheat on these days would
be insulted," was the reply received
from the Whitney hotel.
"All our patrons were satisfied,"
said the Allenel management.
Restaurants served more fish Wed-
nesday than they do as a rule on Fri-
days. One fish dealer complained that
he could scarcely fill hi orders and
that there was a decided increase in
next week's orders already.
The Sam Heusel Bakery company
announced that its sales of white
bread on Wednesdays had taken a de-
cided drop'and that rye and graham
bread orders had been substituted to a
large extent.
Corn bread is also being used as a
substitute for wheat products at the
various hotels.
Some of the fraternity houses are
considering te wheatless and meat-
less days and several of the boarding
clubs .expect to follow the lead taken
by the hotels.
Local meat dealers assert they have
noticed no appreciable decrease in or-'
ders since the campaign was inaug-
urated.

LIEUT. G. A. MULLEN IN CHARGE
OF 13 NEW DRILL COMPANIES
First Work Directed on Campus But
Better Facilities Promised as
Soon as Possible
The military training courses undar
Lieut. G. A. Mullen of the United
States army had 1,038 students en-
rolled at the second meeting at 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon. A num-
ber more students have registered but
the special orange cards were turned
into the various colleges and have not
yet been classified.
Despite the fact that the weather
was a trifle damp and that rain threat-
ened to hinder operations, the men
were divided into squads of eight with
a competent instructor in charge of
each.
Immediately after the 13 companies'
werecformed preliminary drills were
directed for an hour on the campus
between Waterman gymnasium and
the Law building. In a short time it
is expected that more suitable grounds
will be provided to enable the men to
drill with the maximum amount of ef-
ficiency.
"A large num of students should
take advantage of this military train-
ing," said Lieut. Mullen. "This course
is especially beneficial to those en-
rolled on account of the physical,
mental, and moral betterment it gives
to the students which increases their
ability to serve the country when men
are needed."
Anyone who has not yet enrolled
and cares to register may do so at
4:30 o'clock this afternoon outside of
Waterman gymnasium. The special
military enrollment card must be pre-
sented before entering the course.
ANGELL DAY NOT TO BE
OBSERVED THIS YEAR
Angell day which was set aside last
year by the state department of edu-
cation to be observed in all schools
and colleges in commemoration of
Michigan's late president, will not be
repeated this year.
Because of the fact that Dr. Angell's
death occurred in the school year of
1915-1916, the state department wished
last year to pay tribute once more to
her great educator, but the memorial
will not be an annual event.
80 UPPERCLASS WOMEN LEAVE

These women increase the numbers
of the sophomore and senior classes
by 16 and 17 respectively, while the
junior class is swelled by 47.

Even Camp Custer Boys
Do Their Bit
With subscriptions for the second
Liberty loan of $3,000,000,000 on the
increase in every federal reserve dis-
trict, its promoters are confident of
an early, successful conclusion. New
York's subscriptions reached a total
of $135,000,000 Wednesday. The
amount was aided by two $10,000,000
subscriptions from the United States
Steel corporation and the Mutual Life
Insurance company. Nearly 37,000 mu-
nicipal employees in New York who
subscribed to the first issue will take
some of the second loan bonds.
Chicago has revived the Four-Min-
ute Men, speakers, who will talk in
theaters and public assemblies for the
fund. The Chicagoans have organized
themselves into squadrons called
"Bankers," "Lawyers/' "Knights of
Columbus," "Masonic," "B. P. 0. E.',
and "Woodmen of the World." The
volunteer system used is working well.
Speakers of foreign tongues will take
the campaign into the settlements of
the city. Many German born Ameri-
cans are coming to the front with
funds.
Although their pay is small, it is
not going to prevent soldiers at Camp
Custer from buying bonds, according
to word received Thursday. Themen
in the national army are ready not
only to carry a rifle, but they are also
willing to help buy the rifle.
"Uncle Sam is welcome to all we
have," said one "doughboy."

pastime to the Kelly-hued freshmen

promptness to the number of 250.
Wandering somewhere in the stu-

omores who will be .given a last op-
portunity to display their ability as
impromptu excuse makers unless they
immediately turn their attention to
the northeast corner of the campus..
Regular gymnasium classes will be-

ments will be posted on the bulletin
board at Barbour gymnasium Oct. 9.
