Feb. 18.-With Russia in the grip

denuded of men as a result of the
peace declaration of the Bolsheviki,
Germany already has begun the car-

FRENCH ARTILRY
because of the failure of the Bolshe-
viki to sign a peace compact with
the central powers. A dispatch from
Berlin announces that German troops
have crossed the Dvina River.
Reports tmanating from Sweden
say that the Germans have begun
pushing forward their troops into
Russia's two remaining Baltic pro-
vinces, Esthonia and Livonia, the tak-
ing of which completely isolated Rus-
sia from the shores of the Baltic, and
gave the enemy in addition to the
port of Riga, the city of Reval situat-
ed on the Gulf of Finland, from where
they easily might operate against
Petrograd by seat,
Germans Placate Austria
Although Austria-Hungary had
shown dissatisfaction over the stand
that Germany has taken toward Rus-
sia, the dual monarchy evidently had
been placated by a German promise
that any German military activity will
be confined to northern Russia, and
that Austria-Hungary will be left to
deal with whatever other problems
may arise in the territory adjacent
to her borders.
Kiev Captured
Belated dispatches from Petrograd
tell of the capture of Kiev, the new
capital of Ukraine, by the Bolsheviki.
The fighting is described as having
been extremely sanguinary, 4,000 per-
sons having been killed aitd 7,000
wounded. Great destruction was
wrought in the town by shells and ex-
plosives dropped by aviators.
At Odessa another big battle has
been fought between the Bolsheviki
and thd Moderates, during which war-
ships in the harbor bombarded the city.
Polish legions at Minsk are declared
to have been badly defeated and put
to rout, while the Bolsheviki are re-
ported to have captured Tongorod on
the Black Sea, and Veronezh, capital
of the province of the same name.
Germans Attack at Champagne
On the battle front in France and
Flanders the operations continue of a
minor character except for artillery
duels on isolated sectors. Here and
there are raids of more than usual
violence, The only attack of import-
ance along the entire front has been
in Champagne. At this point the
Germans after heavy artillery prepar-
ation attacked and gained a footing in
French trenches. Later, however,
they were ejected, and in addition the
French took prisoners.
Twenty-seven persons were killed
and 41 injured in the air raids made
by the Germans on London Saturday
and Sunday nights.

ENLIST IN FOREIGN LEGION
IN ORDER TO ENTER SCHOOL
Work to Master Instructions Given in
French Language; Study With
3,000 Natives
Fontainebleau, France, January 30.
(Correspondence) Numerically in an
almost vanishing minority, though
standing out clearly and distinctly
among their three thousand fellow-
pupils by reason of their work, 23
young Americans are fast complet-
ing their courses in the French ar-
tillery school here.
All of them are graduates or have
been students at American colleges or
universities; all of them have seen
service with such organizations as
the American Ambulance or the. Red
Cross. More than one of them wear
the French war cross to attest to
what they have done in the war, yet
all of them have in a way re-
nounced their own country and gone
over to the service of France for the
duration of the war, because they have
not quite been able to pass the strenu-
bus American physical fitness tests,
and yet are so anxious to do something
for "the cause," that they could not
remain idle.
Enlist in Foreign Legion
With the exception of two or three,
all have had to- enlist in the famous
Foreign Legion in order to get into
the school at all, as a government
regulation put a stop to the original
ease with which Americans could
join the French artillery school.
The eagerness to serve which has
induced the 23 Americans-who range
from 18 to 23 in age-to enter French
service is reflected in the work they
are doing, which aceording to the
commander of the school is generally
of a very high order in spite of the
difficulties of absorbing instruction in
the French language.
Patriotic Americans
Their service for France has been
made them enthusiastically pro-
French. The list of American stu-
dents shows the widely scattered con-
stituency of the American contingency
at the school. Here it is, with only a
few of the men missing:
Harold L. Scott, Granville, Ohio;
William M. Barber, Toledo, 0; Cole-
man T. Clark, Westfield, N. J; Whit-
ney Warren, Jr., New York; Stanton
Garfield, Washington, D. C.; Philip

WOMEN TO GAIN CREDIT
IN WAR FOOD COURSES
CLASSED UNDER MILITARY
TRAINING: HOURS
A WEEK
Junior and senior women are to re-
ceive from two to three hours credit
for the war food courses to be in-
troduced into the curriculum at once.
At a meeting of the faculty held yes-
terday afternoon it was decided a,
a war measure to allow credit for the
food courses recommended by Her-
bert Hoover.
These courses come under the head
of Military Training and are listed
as F 1,- and F 2. Course F 1 consists
of three lectures which will be given
at 4 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday in room 203 T. H.
Miss Greenwood, Social Director at
Martha Cook building, will give the
Monday lecture each week, taking
as her general topic "Food and the
War". Dr. Herbert W. Emerson will
have charge of the Wednesday .and
Friday meetings, and his lecture will
be "The Fundamentals of Food and
Nutrition in Relation to the War."
Course F 2 is a laboratory course
open to 20 seniors, and it will be
elected only in connection with course
1. This laboratory course will be con-
ducted by Dr. Clifford C. Glover, and
will meet at 4 o'clock on Tuesdays and
Thursdays in the Chemistry building.
The first lecture will be given to-
morrow by Miss Greenwood, and all
girls wishing to elect this course must
sign up at the time in the lecture
room with Miss Wells. This course
may be added to the regular program
of study without special permission.
provided it does not bring the num-
ber of hours above 18. Special per-
mission must be obtained from the
Registrar before more than this num-
ber of hours may be elected.
er, director of the Mandolin club
voiced his opinion that the instru-
mental organization surpasses the us-
ual clubs. Mr. James Hamilton said
last night that he has never heard
such excellent harmony as was heard
at the rehearsal.
The Mandolin club has announced
that there will be a jazz octet made
up of men in the club, led by
Abraham J. Gornetzky, '19L. Robert
Berman, '19, will play a violin solo ac-
companied by the 25 members of the
Mandolin club. He has been an in-
structor of violin at the Ganapol
Conservatory of Music in Detroit,
and is well known in Ann Arbor. He
will also play the violin obligato for
the largo, "Trust in the Lord," to be
sung by the Glee club. There are 60
members in the latter club. A trio
will also be offered by the Mandolin
club, consisting of violin, organ, and
cello.
The Glee club will feature the Var-
sity quartet, and the usual Midnight
Sons' quartet, which will sing "bar-
ber shop" jazz music. Both quartets
are up to the usual standard. Robert
R. Dieterle, '18, will sing thes olo
part of the Glee club's "Old Virginny."
Tags bearing the inscription "35-
How Many," were distributed last
night to those selling tickets. Tick-
ets may also be purchas'-- Wahr's
Sheehan's, Grinnell Brothers', All-
mendinger's, the Delta, the Union, the
Busy Bee, the University Music house,
and the Arcade Florist. The time for
the concert has been set at 8:15 east-
ern time.
PROF. HARRY WARD TO SPEAK
ON "MASTERS OR SERVANTS"
Prof. Harry Ward of Boston uni-
versity, who has been giving a series
of lectures in Ann Arbor churches un-
der the auspices of the University
Students Christian association, will
give his last talk at 7 o'clock tonight
in the Congregational church. His
subject will be "Masters or Servants."
The dai.ly tw'enty-minut& Lenn
service will be observed at 12:35
o'clock today at the Bible Chair
house. The subject for the talk will
be "The Wilderness Temptation." All
students are invited.
Forbids Refugees Entering Petrograd;
Petrograd, Feb. 18.-Nikolai Lenine
the Bolsheviki premier, has issued an
edict forbidding war prisoners and
refugees from entering "starving Pet-
rograd",or any of the non-producing
sections of North Russia.
Michigan has sent more than 6,980
men to help the country in some
branch of the service. Approximately
5,000 alumni have been called to the
colors, according to a statement from
Wilfred B. Shaw, secretary of the Al-
umni association.
No accurate lists of the men now in
the different branches of the service
are available, due to the fact that the
various colleges have failed to turn
in a report. It is estimated that 131
faculty men and 1,851 students have
left the University to enter the army
and navy since war was declared. A
majority of these were volunteers, a.
though some were called by the draft.
In addition to the men already in
the service, there are several hundred
students, engineers, dentists, and med-
ics enlisted in the various reserve
corps. It is probable that these men
will be transferred to active duty
early in the spring, or immediate-
ly after the completion of their cour-
ses in the University.
The literary college heads the list
of the men fighting for the country
with 900 students and 65 faculty men;
the engineering college follows with
734 students and 25 faculty men; the
medical with five students and 28 fac-
ulty men; homoeopathical with five
students and eight faculty men. The
Dental college sent two of its profe:4-
sors to the aid of the country, while
the entire senior class, with the ex-
ception of four, volunteered last June
for duty in the dental corps.
Two of the Law school faculty and
154 law students have entered the
service. Also one member of the fac-
ulty of the College of Pharmacy and
17 students have gone.
PROF. F. N. SCOTT SPEAKS
AT RUSSKI KRUZHOK MEETING
Russki Kruzhok held its first open
meeting at Barbour gymnasium Sat-
urday afternoon, with a good at-
tendance of faculty members, stu-
dents, and townspeople.
Prof. Fred N. Scott, in setting forth
the purposes of the society, stated that
since Russia is claiming the atter-
tion of the civilized world we ought
to try to understand what is taking
place and its bearing on other na-
tions.
An interesting program was given,
consisting of translations of Russian
poems and short stories, and folk lore
music.
In accordance with the Russian
custom, tea was served during an in-
termission In the program.
LIBRARY TO BE CONTINUED
CLOSED DURING THIS WEEK
Reading rooms of the general lib-
rary will be closed at six o'clock
every night this week. Books may
be drawn out overnight after five
o'clock, but must be returned by eight
o'clock the next morning.
Many students have been complair-
ing about the early closing hour, as
their studying is done to a great extet
after supper. It has been proven.
however, that a great saving of. coal.
has been effected, -and the plan will
be continued throughout the week.
