Lansing Has Training, Too Lansing, Mich., Oct. 5.-Following the lead of Detroit and Flint, Lansing is to have a course in military train- ing in her schools under the new state law requiring such training in school districts of 5,000 or more popu- lation, Superintendent J. W. Sexton announced today. Superintendent Sex- ton holds that the law does not specify any given time for the inauguration of the courses. Lansing's will begin later in the year. Superintendent Sexton says "mili- tary training" is not defined in the law and he prefers to wait until the state says exactly what it expects of the schools.- Superintendent of Public Instruction Fred L. Keeler held last'week it was optional with the boards whether they established military training at all, despite the mandatory phrasing of the law. Cosmopolitan Club Is Unsettled Owing to the confusion in the Ger- man classes this year, the Cosmopoli- tan club has not yet been'reorganized. Prof. J. A. C. Hildner of the German department will start plans for the or-' ganizarion as soon as he is able to take the time from his department. Washington, Oct. 5.-Five hours' discussion in the senate tomorrow of disloyalty charges against Senator La Follette will furnish a dramatic finale for the war session of congress. Arrangements were made today after a senate committee had been di- rected to investigate the Wisconsin member's recent speech in St. Paul be- fore the Non-Partisan league. With the finale set for 3 o'clock this after- noon, the last session of congress promises to be devoted almost ex- clusively to this question. Under a formal agreement, Senator La Follette will begin a three hours' speech at 10 o'clock in defense of his public utterances and in answer to his critics, with two hours remaining before the judgment, for the replies to be made by Senator Kellog of Minne- sota and possibly by others. In ex- ecutive session laid today the senate adopted a formal resolution impower- ing the election of a sub-committee to proceed with the investigation of the La Follette speech at St. Paul. A report of the committee against investigation of similar disloyalty re- flections on Senator Stone of Missouri also was adopted. The report declared that communications filed charging disloyalty to Senator Stone were not sufficient basis for an inquiry. Upon receipt of an accurate copy promised today by Senator La Follette of his St. Paul speech the investigating com- mittee of five members plans to begin its work next week. FEMALE BARBER IN BOSTON ASKS JOB OF UNCLE SAM Boston, Mass., Oct. 5.-A shiny new barber equipment, bay rum, witch- hazel and a female barber are all at the service of Uncle Sam-if he wants them. Inspired by female patriots who are serving their country, Mrs. Sadie A. Kitchen, at present employed in a lo- cal barber shop, today applied for en- listment in the United States marine corps here, but has not yet been ac- cepted. Her case has been referred to Washington for final action. .So far, no women have been enlisted in the marine corps, and men of all trades who serve in special capacities must first go through regular military training. However, Mrs. Kitchen be- lieves that "battalions of death," "am- bulance drivers" and navy yeowomen are sufficient precedents to influence her case. Plan to Protect the Children Now that the schools are open and the child labor law is in effect, the woman's defense committee, through its department of child welfare of which Miss Bina M. West is chairman, will act as a vigilance committee in the interests of the children. It is rec- ommended that each county chairman be asked whether all the children be- tween the ages of 6 and 14 are in school, and whether there are any children in need of scholarships that they may attend school. All this in- formation will be kept on file that the Michigan woman's committee may do its part in helping the national committee in its co-operation with the children's bureau to which the work of enforcing the child labor law is delegated. Saginaw Man Weds Miss Helen George Announcement has been made of the marriage of Helen George, '17, of. Ann Arbor to William Waller, '15, of Saginaw, in July. Miss George is a member of the Chi Omega sorority. Mee is the name of a student at Kansas university. When he ans- wers the phone if often causes him much embarrassment. Invariably the voice at the other end of the line asks, "Who is this?" And Mee answers "This is Mee." Then the voice al- ways says, "You should say, this is I." Mlilitary Call To Reach AllI Faculty University Men to Meet Monday for Special Instruction by Lieut. G. C. Mullen For the first time in the history of the University every member of the faculty will meet at 7:30 o'clock Mon- day night in Waterman gymnasium for special military instruction. Lieut. G. C. Mullen of the United States army recently sent letters to every faculty member to be present at this meeting. Any professor or instructor of the University who de- sires to assist in giving military in- structions is especially urged to be present. No HARSHIPS IN COAL SITUATION,_SAY DELERS PRICES SAID TO BE AVERAGE FOR CITIES THIS SIZE Although there is no hard coal to speak of in any of the Ann Arbor dealers' yards, it is not expected that there will be any fuel hardships ex- perienced this winter, if consumers will buy slowly.' Orders placed with the retailers as early as June are just now being filled in small carload lots. Prices of coal in Ann Arbor are about average for cities of its size throughout the country. Hard coal sold for $9.60, when it was available, and there is a little chestnut coal left in some yards. Soft coal retails for $8.00 and Pocohantas, in varying grades, has been selling at $8.00 to $10.00. Must Buy Reasonably "I, do not believe that the city will feel the pinch of the coal shortage un- til late in the winter, if the consum- ers will buy reasonably," said Mayor Emmet M. Wurster Friday. "There are no manufacturing plants affected by the shortage as yet. The city has its supply purchased and in the bins for the winter, and enough to last un- til next spring. Deliveries, so deal- ers tell me, have been unusally slow. Many deliveries of spring orders were not filled until late last month." The University has 20,000 tons of fuel, mostly soft coal, purchased for the winter supply. Lyman R. Flook, assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University, said that the soft coal was a trifle incon- venient to use, but that when the con- tract was let, the wholesalers would not promise hard coal. "As long as the people do not get in a hurry to buy fuel in large amounts and repeat the run of last winter, I do not believe that there is any need of worry over a serious shortage this fall," declared I. W. Cornwell, local dealer. "The opening of navigation will no doubt start the coal of the country on the move, and we dealers look for an immediate re- lief then." GLENN COULTER AND HOWARD TAYLOR DO NOT RETURN The failure of Glenn M. Coulter, '18L, and Howard S. Taylor, '18E, to return to school has left two of the three student positions on the Board in Control of Student Publica- tion open. At an early meeting of the board, appointments will be made to fill the vacancies. Coulter is with the United States Ambulance corps at Allentown, Pa. Taylor is at present in the employ of a large steel construction concern. He has sent in his application for admitt- ance into the aviation department, but has not yet been accepted. Waldo McKee, '18E, is the only one of the three in Ann Arbor at the present time. Woman's Committee Receives Aid At the request of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, chairman of the Woman's com- mittee, Council of National Defense; Miss Helen W. Atwater of the home economics office of the department of agriculture, has been assigned to co- operate with the woman's committee.

Stephen Attwood, '18E, was appoint- ed chairman of the educational com- mittee, the work of which will con- sist of talks to the various student bodies and organizations, explaining the nature of the Liberty loan. Mr. John A. Mosenfeldter, '17, in- structor in the department of journal- ism, was appointed chairman of the publicity committee with Robert T. McDonald, '18, Herbert G. Wilson, '18, and Mrs. Kramer. Committees to Sell Bonds to Students These committees are to work on the selling of bonds to the students and faculty alone, the work being dis- tinct from that of the city committee. The city and University committees will meet together at the Y. M. C. A. banquet Monday night to discuss final plans for co-operation. In connection with the selling of bonds at the banks, Governor Albert E. Sleeper issued a call to all bank- -ers throughout the state to assemble at Lansing on Tuesday, Oct. 9, to dis- cuss final plans for the sale of bonds at the banking houses. George W. Mil- len, chairman of the county commit- tee, will go to Lansing together with the presidents of the Farmers' and Mechanics' bank, the Ann Arbor Sav- ings and the State Savings banks to attend this conference.

DETROIT'S LIBERTY LOAN QUOTA DECREASED $6,258000;,LARGE CITIES LIBERAL IN SUBSCRIPTIONS NEW YORK AND VICINITY SELLS $144,600,000 WORTH OF BONDS DUR- ING FIRST FOUR DAYS OF CAMPAIGN; MAYOR MITCHELL APP EALS TO CITIZENS Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to Speak in Detroit Soon for Fund Detroit, Oct. 5.-F. R. Fenton, De- troit chairman for the federal reserve district, notified the executive commit- tee Friday night, that Detroit's Lib- erty loan issue quota had been re- duced from $50,000,000 to $42,742,006. Subscriptions to the loan' took a sudden flux Friday morning, upon the announcement in a treasury bulletin that the government surtax will not apply to Liberty loan bonds purchased in amounts under $15,000. Col. Theodore Roosevelt will speak in Detroit- in behalf of the fund some time next week, and the committee is waiting for him to set the day. For this reason, the big Detroit drive has been postponed until Monday. Boy Scouts and high school students have volunteered to distribute loan posters in the city and Walker & Co., bill posters, have donated their bill- boards throughout Wayne county and city for the publicity department of the loan fund campaign. In Michigan, Fred L. Keeler, state superintendent of public instruction, has ordered that the meaning of the Liberty loan bond issue be taught in all English classes during October. New York Sells $144,000,000 Worth New York and vicinity announced $144,000,000 as the total of bonds in the first four days of the campaign. Small investors are being appealed to by the campaign committee to raise the quota of a billion and a half dol- lars by Oct. 27. The appeal calls for the purchase of approximately $200 worth by every grown man and wom- an in the district. Millions of small subscriptions are needed. Mayor Mitchell in a proclamation issued Thursday asked the citizens of New York to maintain the reputation of the city made during the last cam- paign by the liberal purchase of this issue. Farmers are being asked to buy the loa. because it will keep them pros- perous, making the United States and her allies victorious-the loss of the war means depression of markets and perhaps worse, authorities are telling them. In a recent campaign bulletin, the Chicago district states that the float- ing of the Liberty loan should not be such a difficult matter, if the wealth of this nation means anything. The statement shows that the wealth of Great Britain, France and Germany amounts to $227,500,000,000, while that of the United States aggregates $250,- 000,000,000.

TOMMIES INTRENCH Prepare for New Drive on Kaiser; Germans Suffer Heavy Losses With the British securely in- trenched in all the positions they won Thursday along the eight-mile front of the Ypres sector, Field Marshal Haig's men were busy Friday con- solidating their newly won positions and preparing for another drive into the German line. In addition to the enormous casual- ties inflicted on the Germans, the Brit- ish captured 4,446 men and 114 of- ficers in Thursday's attack. Compara- tive quiet reigned on the other fronts. Apparently the Teutonic allies in Ro- mania, after several weeks of inac- tivity, again are preparing to attempt to force back the Russo-Romanian line. Professors from the University of Iowa are giving t-ducation courses at Camp Dodge, training grounds for the national army. The courses are in connection with the "Y"'and will be kept up indefinitely so that men may better themselves in a education- al way while they are in training.
