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.

"Once a Week Dances" Not True om' .. eonsu 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.

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.

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." (C ltS tJ(i r w. i: 1io* r Gay Sophs Cast Burden on F'rosh All Who Have Failed to Enroll in Classes Must Report Im- mediately The gay young sophomore girls are much too busy to attend gymnasium classes.

Wandering somewhere in the stu- dent throng are 50 unsuspecting soph- 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- gin Oct. 11. Notice of section assign- ments will be posted on the bulletin board at Barbour gymnasium Oct. 9.
