RUSSIA1 a ti PASS DYINA RIVER CARRY OUT THREAT TO INVADE IF BOLSHEYIKI REFUSE TO MAKE PEACE BOLSHEVIKI CAPTURE KIEV, UKRAINE SEAT Germans Gain Few French Trenches, But Are Ejected with Loss of Prisoners (By Associated Press) Feb. 18.-With Russia in the grip of internal strife and her battle line denuded of men as a result of the peace declaration of the Bolsheviki, Germany already has begun the car- rying out of her threats of invasion PROF. MC LAUGHLIN TO LECTURE FRIDAY AMERICANS STUDY 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. Class Basketball Cap lains Named Women's class basketball teams have elected the following captains for the 1918 season: Senior, Kather- ine MacNaughton; junior, Jane Duem-. ling; sophomore, Lucy Huffman; freshman, Phyllis Wylie.

Professor McLaughlin began his career at the University of Michigan, graduating from the literary -college in 1882 and from the law school in 1885. After successively occupying positions as instructor and assistant professor in the history department of the University during the years 1886 -1891 he became proest r 'f American history in 1891, retaining that position until 1906. In 1906, Professor McLaughlin resigned from the University of Michigan going to the University of Chicago where he has been professor of history and head of that department ever since. Professor McLaughlin has held many positions of importance in the historical field. He was director of the Bureau of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution at Washington during 1903-1905 and editor of the American Historical Review from 1898-1914, also filling the position of managing editor of that magizine from 1901-1905.

Some of his own books are "The His- tory of Higher Education in Michigan", "The Confederation and the Consti- tution". "The Courts, the Constitu- tion and Parties", and with Prof. A. B. Hart of Harvard University he is the co-editor o the Cyclopedia of American Government. The University of Michigan has honored Professor McLaughlin by conferring upon him the degree of Master of Arts in 1896 and Doctor of Laws in 1912.

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 A. Rogers, Binghamton, New York; Thomas F. McAllister, Grand Rapids, Mich; William C. Towle, New York City; C. Law Watkins, Rye, N. Y.; John Clark, Cornelius Winant, Town- send Martin, Winthrop Cortelyou and Redmond Moreland, all from New York, Gerard Genew, Boston; Wil- 1am Moreland, Pittsburgh; Edward Phillips, New Haven, Conn.; G. W.; Patterson, Ann Arbor, Mich.; and Cohen, New York City. (Continued on page 4)s Graduate Announces Engagement Announcement has been made of the engagement of Irene Lichman.

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."

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.

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.

It has been proven. however, that a great saving of. coal. has been effected, -and the plan will be continued throughout the week. - SKATING!!
