RREST GERMAN
HOARDING WOOL
vew York, Feb. 25.-Alleged to be
agent in the United States for Ger-'
m interests which have been seek-
to corner the world's wool market,
gene Schwerdt a wealthy wool mer-
nt of New Yorkand Boston,*was
ested herebtoday as an enemy
en and will be interned.
chwerdt's alleged activities were
closed to the federal authorities by
attorney-general of New York
te, Schwerdt's name having ap-
ired in the correspondence of Hugo
imidt, banker and alleged pay-
ster in the Bolo Pasha case which
attorney-general investigated.
klthough claiming to be a Belgian
[zen, Schwerdt in fact was born in
rmany.
[he plan of.:Schwerdt and his asso-
te, according' to the attorney-gen-
1, was to minimize the effect of a.
ssible British economic embargo
ainst Germany after the war by
,king it possible for German inter-
s in America to hoard their great
ck of wool, which was intended to
sent to Germany when peace came.

wlsheviki Arrest Nicholas
Zurich, Feb. 25.-The Breslau Tageblatt says that the Bolsheviki
has ordered the trial of Grand Duke Nicholas by revolutionary tribu-
nal. He is charged with attempted high treason against the Russian
republic.
The reference in the newspaper is undoubtedly true that Grand
Duke Nicholas, former commander-in-chief of the Russian army, is
second cousin of the former emperor.
In April 1917, an alleged plot was discovered to proclaim him em-
peror. After the fall of the Kerensky government it was reported
that Grand Duke Nicholas was raising an army to oppose the Bol-
sheviki
WOMAN ELECTED 0
TO HEAD MENORAH1
For the first time in its history,
the Michigan Menorah society elected
a woman as president at a meeting
held Sunday night at the Bible Chair
house. Rebecca Greenburg, '19, was
chosen to head the society during the
present semester.
Other officerselected at this meet-
ing were: Vice-president, Lawrence
H. Seltzer, '20; secretary, Philip Slom-
ovitz, '20; treasurer, Samuel R. Rosen-
thal, '20; librarian, Bessie M. Rosen-
blum; '21; board of directors, A. J.
Gornetsky, '19L; Charles L. Kauf-
man, '18L; Jacob N. Braude, '18, and
AA J. Levin, '19L.
In commenting upon the election of
Miss Greenburg, Gornetsky, the retir-
ing president, said: "During the past,
semester the Menorah society has lost
two-thirds of its male membership.
It will now be up to the women of the
organization to continue our work.'
Miss Greenburg, as the winner of last
year's Menorah essay prize, and as
one of the most active.members of the
society, was therefore the most logical
candidate for the position."

e effect PROF. VAN TYNE WILL DELIVER
ach the PATRIOTIC LECTURE TOMORROW
"There are two fundamental facts
that one must know in connection wit.
this war," stated Dr. Charles Upson
Clark, formerly professor of Yale uni-
versity, in opening his lecture on
"Italy's Part in the War," at 8 o'clock
last night in Hill auditorium.- "We
must remember that this war is a Bal-
kan war,gand that Austria was the
one who began it, not Germany." We
are so engrossed in how Germany is
carrying on that we forget Austria's
part."
Austria Broke Alliance Treaty
Dr. Clark reviewed the history of
Italy and Austria from 198, and ho -
ed how Austria broke her agreement
in the Triple Alliance treaty two
times. The lecturer also exposed
Austria's territorial plans, which were
indirectly aided by Germany.
"Italy saved this war twice for the
Allies," stated Dr. Clark. "Once
when she withdrew her troops from
the French border at the declaration
of her neutrality, therey enabling
France to rush troops and win the
battle of the Marne.. The second time
came when Italy entered the war,
which was at the time when the Ger-
man Verdun drive was at its climax.
Sammies Would Help Italy
"The actual effect of the bodily pre-
sence of American soldiers in Italy
would bolster up the morale of the
Italians," the speaker stated, "and de-
moralize the Austrian troops on the
border."
A series of slides, depicting the des-
truction of buildings, statues, and pub-
lic works by Austrian aviators, the co-
operation of women, and the manner
in which Italy is attempting to pre-
serve her works of art, were shown
on the screen.
Movies Showed Actual Fighting
Three reels of motion pictures,
which were lent by the Italian govern-
ment, were shown immediately fol-
lowing tide slides. The films vividly
portrayed the severe weather condi-
tions the Italians have to combat when
fighting on the top of the Alps.
MICHIGAN NAVAL AUXILIARY
ORGANIZES SOCIAL SOCIETY
Members of the Michigan unit of the
naval auxiliary reserve met Sunday
afternoon at the Union to organize a
social society to be known as the
Naval Auxiliary Reservists' club. All
men who enroll in the unit automati-
cally become members of the club.
Provision was made so that members
of the unit not now in school will be
considered associate members of the
club.
The object of the club is to pro-
mote general good fellowship among
the members, and better the ulit.
Officers were elected as follows:
President, Luther H. Beach, '18E; vice-
president, Guy D. Culver, '20; secre-
tary, Irving M. Mumford, '20L. A
committee on social affairs includes
the following members: Chairman,
F. Ward Culver, '20; David Forbes,
'20, Lynn A. Glover, '18, Fred A. Gari-
epy, '18, and Rudolph Haberman, '20E.
student body. They are:
Ewald Boucke, professor , of
man;, Anton Griener, assistant pro-3
fessor of mathematical engineering;
W. C. R. Voigt, homeopathic gradu-
ate; Karl Ritscher, special engineer,'
and Fritz Marstellar, '17E.
Professor Boucke said.last evening
that he had been a resident of the
United States for the past 22 years
and that, although he had never se-
cured his first papers for citizenship,
he applied for them in New York
when he first came to this country. He
said the reason he was not a citizen
was not from any hostility to this
country, but from 'merely postponing
his application.
Assistant Professor Griener refused
last evening .to discuss the matter,
but declared he would publish his
reasons for not making application in
a future edition.
. C. R. Voigt, whoh.as been a resi-
den, here since 1909, claims that he
has secured his first papers and made
application for his second paper's a
year ago but was refused because dip-
lomatic relations were broken off at'
the time.
Since Karl Ritscher has only been
a resident in the United States for the
last four years it would hardly be pos-
sible for him to be a citizen of this
country. Fritz Marstellar has secured
his first papers, but the outbreak of
the war prevented him from getting
his second papers.
100 A TTEND SUCCESSFUL
ALL-CAMPUS SING AT UNION
More than 100 persons attended the
first All-campus sing held Sunday
afternoon at the Michigan Union. The
program consisted of Michigan songs,
patriotic airs, and old-time melodies.
The singers were led by Joseph Pal-
ma, '20M, with W. J. Kellar, School
of Music, 'at the piano.
As a special feature of the after-
noon, Kellar played a polonaise by
Chopin.-,
"The sing was a great success,"
stated Frank Bacon, '02, social direc-
tor of the Union, yesterday. "The
Union hopes that -a still larger num-
ber will attend the next one, and that
each person who was present Sunday
will bring at least one friend with
him to the next sing."

rersity to lecture throughout the
state on the same topics as will con-
