PERSHING TO RECEIVE
MATERIALS FROM SPAN
GENERAL WILL GET BLANKETS,
MULES, IN EXCHANGE FOR
COTTON
Washington, Feb. 21.-An eonomic
agreement with Spain under which
General Pershing will get mules, army
blankets and other materials in that
country in return for cotton, oil and
other commodities from the United
States was signed today in Madrid.
The state department was so advised
tonight by Ambassador Willard.
The terms of the agreement could
not be learned tonight. Success of
the negotiations for exchange of com-
modities was welcome news to offici-
als here as the ability of General
Pershing to buy supplies in Spain will
save ship tonnage and enable the gen-
eral to build up his reserve stores
much more rapidly than probably oth-
erwise would have been possible.
SENATE DEFEATS
ROAD OWNERSHIP
Washington, Feb. 21.-Champions of
government ownership lost by an
overwhelming vote in the senate today
their fight for indefinite Federal
control of the railroads , after the
war. An amendment to the ad-
ministration railroad bill provid-
ing that government control
should continue until congress other-
wise ordered, were defeated 61 to 10.
Determinate contests over disputed
sections upset plans for passing the
bill today in both houses of congress
but the senate disposed of all im-
portant amendments and will reach a
final vote tomorrow. Discussion con-
tinued in the house where under an
agreement to close debate at 6 o'clock
tomorrow night the leaders expect to
pass the measure early next week.
, An amendment by Senator Cummins

of Iowa designed to reduce by about
$173,000,000 compensation to be paid
the railroads was defeated 53 to 23.
Chicago Sets Prices on Provisions
Chicago, Feb. 21.-Maximum prices
.on oats and provisions were set by
the Chicago board of trade today in
an effort to stop speculation in those
products. A resolution adopted by the
board of directors today fixes a max-
imum price for oats at 93 cents a
bushel.. Maximum prices for mess
pork were fixed at $50.55 a barrel.

Provision to establish a course in
internal combustion for engineering
students desirous of preparing them-
selves for governmental work in Lib-
erty motors, was made by the Board
of Regents at its monthly meeting yes-
terday. The action was the direct re-
sult of a petition signed by eight en-
gineering students. The course, which
has the approval of Dean Mortimer E.
Cooley and Professors H. C. Sadler
and H. C. Anderson, will be offered
during the summer session, provided
sufficient enough funds can be taken
from the engineering budget.
E. C. Pardon Reports Saving
E. C. Pardon, acting superintendent
of buildings. and grounds, reported
that the new ruling with regard to
closing all University buildings at 6
o'clock nights and all-day Sunday, has
saved more that $3,000 in seven
weeks. Under the topic of conserva-
tion came the report that the graduate
school's diplomas will be smaller in
the future, the reason being that suf-
ficient money can be saved in one
year, on the reduction in cost of the
material, to pay for the cost of a new
plate.
Prof. W. P. Wood Resigns
The resignation of Prof. W. P. Wood
of the chemical engineering depart-
ment, was accepted. Professor Wood
is going into the signal corps of the
army. Prof. U. B. Philip's leave of
absence was continued for the second
semester. Professor Philip is at pres-
ent doing Y. M. C. A. army work.
Because of the high cost of build-
ing, the Regents voted to defer the
erection of the Betsy Barbour house,
a residential for women, the gift of
Hon. Levi Barbour of Detroit, until
after the war.
Prof. Van Tyne on Leave of Absence
Prof. C. H. Van Tyne was given a
leave of absence for the second sem-
ester in order that he may deliver a
series of patriotic addresses through-
out the state. Professor Van Tyne is
to provide his own substitute.
The gift of $1,000 from H. Pierpont
Morgan, Jr., of New York City, to be
used toward defraying the expenses of
the illustrations in the last of the Un-
iversity Humanistic series, just off the
press, was recorded by the board. The
gifts of Mr. Morgan, Charles L. Freer,
and William Murphy of Detroit, have
made possible the publication of the
work.
GRADUATES FROM ORDNANCE
COURSE STILL IN ANN ARBOR
Men graduating from the ordnance
course last Saturday and ordered
back to be assigned yesterday to
positions in the service, are still in
the city. Captain E. T. White received
.a telegram yesterday afternoon order-
ing him to hold the men here until an
officer arrives from Chicago to ac-
company them to Augusta, Ga., where
'they are to be stationed.
The next course is not expected to
get under way until at least a week
from this Saturday, when it was
scheduled to start. The government
ordered the men to report at the de-
pot at Columbus, Ohio to receive
equipment. As conditions there are
very congested it is not thought the
men can get their supplies and ar-
rive here in much less than a week.
A flock of telegrams was received
from the men asking for information,
the order evidently having upset the
calculations of many.

BOLSHEVIKI MAY COMMENCE
GUERILLA WARFARE ON HUN
French Sweep Enemy Out of Front
Line Trenches in Lorane
District
(By the Associated Press)
Feb. 21.-Like a great tidal wave
the German invasion of Russia rolls
forward. From Teal in Esthonia, the
Russian province, on the south shore
of the Gulf of Finland on the north to
Rovno, part of the famous triangular
fortresses which stood as a Muscovite
bulwark in the early days of the war,
and on the south, the Germans are
still advancing.
The formal message of surrender
sent to the German high command in
Russia after Berlin had refused to ac-
cept a capitulation by wireless, has-
not as yet been received and it is
probable there will be no halting of
the German invasion until Russia's
abject acceptance of peace terms is in
the hands of the German general staff,
and possibly not then.
Russia Can Fight
From the official reports coming
from Berlin it would appear that the
Russians were not destitute of sup-
plies with which to continue the war.
Dispatches received Thursday were
to the effect that the booty captured
at Rovno is enormous. Among the
items enumerated were 1,353 guns, 120
machine guns, 4,000 to 5,000 motor
cars and trains with about 1,000 car-
riages, many of which were laden
with grain; airplanes and war mate-
rial of an amount said to be "incalcu-
lable."
Should the German armies continue
to advance after the formal message
of surrender is delivered it is prob-
able that the Bolsheviki leaders will
order guerilla warfare against the in-
vaders.
French Win Victory
In the meantime, the entente allies
are not idle on the French front. The
attack made by the French in Lor-
aine Wednesday is reported to have
swept the Germans out of their first
line trenches over a wide front, but,
except for the statement that 525
prisoners were captured, there is
nothing definite as to the magnitude
of the blow delivered by the French.
Heavy artillery duels are going on
along the British and French fronts,
but except for the French advance
there have been no 'infantry engage-
ments of note.
The American front is apparently
quiet, as no news of operations of im-
portance has come through in the
past 24 hours.
TELEGRAPHY STUDENTS SHOW
PROGRESS IN NEW COURSE
Students who enrolled in the new
telegraph course being given by tle
Michigan School of Telegraphy estab-
lished in Nickels Arcade are now able
to receive from 15 to 20 words per
minute after less than three weeks'
work.
A new day class has been scheduled
for five days a week from 4 to 6
o'clock. More, than 10 have enrolled
in this section, and a few more will be
accepted if application is made with-
in a. few days. At present there are
three girls to every man in the classes.
The evening section has been filled to
capacity.
Mr. H. C. Baumgardner, local man-
ager of the Western Union, is in
charge of the school, and is assisted
by Mr. George Green. The system at
present is to rewire the sets daily so
that each individual may progress in
proportion to his ability without being
hindered by the rest of the class.

lasting impression upon the students
he taught. When he left the Uni-
versity to become the director of his-
torical studies in the Carnegie Insti-
tute at Washington in 1903, an appre-
ciation written by one of his former
students, part of which follows, ap-
peared in the Inlander for September,

historical studies for the Carnegie
Institution. A graIrate of the Uni-
Versity in the class of 1882 and the
law class of 1884, and a member of
the faculty since 1886, for almost 25
years he has taken an active part in
the life on our campus. During this
time he has gained many friends, tak-
en a high place among his associates,
won the respect and confidence of
scholars, and attached to him unnun-
bered students. All wish him now still

further weal."

Blames Railroads
The whole blame is put by the
administrator on railroad conges
