ONLY 1 ORDNANCE
COURSE MAN HERE
Earl Merritt of Salem, Ill., is the
only student who has arrived to start
work in the ordnance course, which
was scheduled to open last Saturday.
The remaining students, approximate-
ly 150 of them, are either held up in
supply depots where they are being
examined and outfitted, or are on their'
way here. It is doubtful if the course
will get under way before next Mon-
day.
George C. Thompson, '13L, Captain
of the 1913 football team and All-
western fullback, has been assigned
here to assist in teaching the course,
as has also A. A. Darmsteatter, both
graduates of the last course.
Capt. E. T. White has received a
ruling from JWashington to the effect
that men 'who have been held for lim-
ited service under the draft are not
eligible to enter ordnance work. The
physical restrictions have also been
placed on an equality with those de-
manded by other forms of military ser-
vice.
A ,report yesterday declaring that
the men enrolled in the ordnance'
corps are being examined by the local
draft board was erroneous.

Counts' Okuma and Terauchi, former

Japan, in the movement to establish
an independent government in India.
The intercepted correspondence, how-

ALLIES TURN DEAF
EAR TO HERTLING
(By the Associated Press)
Feb. 27.-Imperial Chancellor von
Hertling has failed to drive a wedge
between the entente allies by his re-
ply to President Wilson. The declar-
ation that German aggression in the
East is not intended for conquest, has
came at a time when German acts be-
;lie the word of the chancellor, and
Paris and London have officially re-
jected any proffers of the olive branch
that the more hopeful of the people
saw in the acceptance, in principle,
of the four points enunciated by'
President Wilson as the basis for
peace negotiations.

MASQUES REORGANIZE ANTD
ADOPT NEW CONSTITUTION
Masques, women's honorary dram-
atic organization, has reorganized and-
adopted a new constitution and by-
laws. Its new purpose is educational
and it is attempting to encourage
dramatic effort on the part of all Mich.-
igan women interested.
A number of one-act plays will be
offered for the purpose of doing for
the campus what the little theaters
are doing for other communities. The
society will present in addition to
these, one larger and more pretent-
ious play each semester, for which
the smaller plays wil furnish training;
All women in the Universtly may try
out for these.
A series of talks on the technique
of the drama and on stage production.
will be given in connection with the
club.
In order to carry out these plans
efficiently, a permanent faculty di-
rector, J. Raleigh Nelson of the engin-
eering English department, has been
secured to oversee the dramatic ac-
tivities of the club. '
SANITARY ENGINEERS LEAVE
FOR WORK IN WASHINGTON
Three University students sustained
serious injuries about 4:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon when a car driv-
en by Margaret Adams, '20, collided
with one driven by a Mr. Campbell of
Detroit on the highway near Wayne.
The party of six, consisting of Vic-
toria Adams, '19, Vincent H. Riorden,
'20, George A. Cole, pharmic spec.,
Thorolf G. Evansar, '19L, amid Edton
W. Viets, '21E, were on their way to
Detroit. The other car, driven by Mr.
Campbell, was entering the highway
from a cross road when it struck the
Reo driven by Miss Adams, throwing
it into the ditch and almost complete-
ly demolishing it. Campbell was not
injured, and his car was only slightly
damaged.
Given Prompt Attention
.Those of the party who sustained
injuries were immediately taken by
Campbell to Wayne where they were
given medical attention by Dr. Hoyt.
Victoria Adams received several ser-
ious cuts on her face and head caused
by flying windshield glass. Cole and.
Riorden received severe body bruises,
but are able to attend classes. The
rest of the party escaped injury with
the exceptiOn of the severe shock
caused by the collision.
Car Not Speeding
The, car driven by the Ann Arbor
party was not moving at a rate ex-
eeeding 25 miles per hour, according
to a statement made by one of the
passengers. "We were running along
at a moderate speed when the other
car suddenly shot into us," he said.
"Our driver lost control of the wheel
after the collision, and we were driv-
en into, the deep ditc~h that ' borders
the pavement. A barbed-wire fence
did most of the damage to us."
FIVE EDUCATIONAL
GROUPS WILL MEET
Five educational organizations will
make Ann Arbor their headquarters
the week of March 25-30, when the
Schoolmasters' club will hold its an-
nual conference, and in addition the
Educational institute, the Classical
institute, the Academy of Science, and
the Conference of school superintend-
ents and school board members of the
state of Michigan, will hold sessions.
Besides the general session of the
Schoolmasters' club which will be
held Thursday and Friday, March 28
and 29, there will be 13 conferences.
The detailed program will appear lat-
er.
The Educational institute, which is
conducted jointly under the auspices
of the state department of public in-
struction and the department of edu-
cation of the University of Michigan,
has secured the services of John Dew-
ey, professor of philosophy in Colum-
bia university and Walter A. Jessup,
president of the University of Iowa.
Things, Say Girls
(By Vamp)
Love!
This is what a great majority of
Michigan women answered to Dr.
Herbert W. Emerson's question, "What
is the most important thing in life?"
The momentous question received
some other answers, among which
were: Health, religion, three meals
a day, and liberty. Such replies as
carbo-hydrates, and proteins - were
also found, since the question was
asked in a course for food conserva-
tion. -
Positive proof of the greatness of
love is at hand, inasmuch as in the
last 33 issues of The Michigan Daily
there have been announced dust 33
marriages and engagements of Michi-
gan men and women. This makes an
average of one a day since Christmas
vacation. Also the society of Michigan
Dames is growing daily.

Birth of Twins Announced
Announcement has been made of
the birth of twins, a boy and a girl,
to Prof. R. T. Crane and Mrs. Crane,
London, Feb. 27.-Foreign Secretary ~
Balfour today in reply to the speech
of Count von Hertling, the German
imperial chancellor, regarding the
doctoring of the balance ' of power,
said that until German militarism had
become a thing of the past and there
came into existence a court armed
with executive powers making the
weak as safe as the strong, it would
never be possible to ignore the prin-
ciples underlying the struggle for the
balance of power.
Mr. Balfour told the house of com-
mons which he was addressing, that
he was unable to find in von Hertling's
speech any basis for fruitful conver-
sation or hope for peace. The- chan-
cellor's attitude concerning Belgium,
said Mr. Balfour, was completely un-
satisfactory and his lip service to
President Wilson's proposition was
uot exemplified in German practice.,
Slacker Aliens May Be Deported
Washington, Feb. 27.-The so-called
slacker bill, to bar from citizenship
and authorize deportation of aliens
of draft age who claim exemption

ricultural or manufacturing work,
was passed by the house tonight by
a vote of 344 to 21. It now goes to the
senate,..

Dean Victor'C. Vaughan, of the Med-1
ical School, lieutenant-colonel of the
National army, addressed a combined
assembly of the entire Medical
School yesterday afternoon on various
topics of the war of particular interest:
to medical men.
"Every medical man belongs in the
service," said Dr. Vaughan. "To keep1
a doctor out of service would be to
handicap him in the future. He wouldl
have to explain contantly under the1
most embarrassing circumstances,l
why he had not served. We are in
the war," he said later, "to fight unto
death. President Wilson's statement
that we ar. fighting to make the
world safe for democracy is too acad-
emic and fine-grained for me. We are
fighting the .Hun with the cries of in-
nocent women and children of theo
Lusitania and of Belgium ringing in
our ears."

Anton F. Greiner, assistant profess-
or of mechanical engineering, is
among those who registered as alien
enemies, and in an article published'
recently in. The Daily he refused to
make a statement of his reasons for
not being a citizen. Professor Greiner
said yesterday that he has been a res*
ident of the United States for the past
six years, and most of that time he
spent in the employ of the University.
Even at the cost of losing some valu-
able property in Bavaria he had in-
tended to apply for citizenship papers,
but the war broke out and he was
prevented from becoming a citizen of
this country both by the laws of this
land and his native country.
