LENT FLOOR WORK In a fast, scrappy game featured by the excellent passing and floor work of the Wolverine team, Michigan last night defeated M. A. C. by the score "What's that big yellow thing up there, can it be a Zepp?" "No, that is the University balloon, off on an experimental trip." This conversation may soon be heard upon the campus if the wishes of the man in the aeronautics depart- ment come true. The balloon in question now lies in First promotions in the R. 0. T. C. were announced by Lieut. George C. Mullen yesterday afternoon. Ronald A. Butler, '19L, Ann Arbor, was promoted from the rank of -pri- vate to acting sergeant-major in the First regiment. Butler, formerly a member of the Headquarters com- pany, was recently transferred to the First regiment. Joseph Wilmer Planck, '18, Union, gained the rank of acting sergeant- major in the Second regiment. He was formerly associated with company M, First regiment.

Naval tUnit Holds Heave-to Smoker The University of Michigan naval auxiliary unit held a successful "heave-to" smoker at the Union last night and 50 of the members turned out to promote a greater social in- -terest in the unit. After a short business session,'' Luther Beach, the president of the unit, introduced Prof. R. H. Curtiss of the astronomy department, as the speaker of the evening. Professo Cur- tiss responded with a yarn on the use of the word "heave-to" in connection with the conditions and life of a youngseaman. Ward Culver, '20; F. A. Gariepy, '18, and M. G. Hedin, '18, gave short impromptu talks. During the doughnuts and hard cid- er session, Luther Beach made the announcement that Lieutenant Clark of Cleveland, would be in Ann Arbor Wednesday evening and plans were immediately formulated to hold a ban- quet for Lieutenant Clark and his staff at the Union. Ward Culver, chair- man of the social committee, has ar- ranged an elaborate program for the affair. FORGE PRODUCTS COMPANY BUILDINGS TO BE STARTED Wilson in orders to immigration of- I of 31 to 25. HOPE FOR ANSWER TO JAPAN'S OFFER WITHIN FEW DAY! a corner of the aeronautic laborator in the engineering building, dreaming of bye-gone days when it raced shoul- der to shoulder with scudding clouds and skimmed the tree-tops of the sur- rounding country. A few venerable scars adorn its surface, memories of sundry unfortunate landings. Its bas- ket stands firmly upright, equipped with sand-bags and life-belts, as if waiting for some ghostly aeronaut to pronounce the magic words, "Let's go!" It may not wait long, according to men connected with the laboratory, for the old balloon is capable of re- juvenation. Its scars may be healed by the appropriation of a little money by the Board of Regents and the use of a little oiled silk. Michigan would then be possessed of the facilities for a few practical ex- periments in aeronautics in addition to the theoretical training now obtain- ed in the class rooms. PROFESSOR FRAYER TO GIVE IECTURE IN UNION SERIES ficials in the northwest, to proceed immediately to arrest aliens guilty of spreading such doctrines. Even though they may not commit any overt acts they will be detained and de- ported. The secretary's action was in ans- wer to requests from employers and civic organizations of Seattle and oth- er cities, that the department under- take the wholesale internment of In- dustrial Workers of the World who were blamed for industrial unrest, particulary in the logging camps. Mr. Wilson held that membership in the I. W. W. organization was not in itself cause for arrest or deportation but that alien industrial workers or any other aliens who preach the over- throw of the government by force should be taken into custody at once. DRAWINGS BY EDNA BLAKE, '19 USED ON JUNIOR PLAY SCORES Only Women Admitted to Performance Given in Honor of Senior Girls For Michigan, the playing of Born- stein, Hewlitt, and McClintock on the offense and Boyd's game on defense, were the features. In the second half, Hewlitt was put out of. the game for personal fouls, being replaced by Ruz- icka, who played his usual steady game at guard. Captain Murray and Higby divided honors for M. A. C., each making three baskets. Fouls were numerous during the play, 23 being called. Hewlitt dropped in six of ten free throws, and Murray, of M. A. C., made six of thirteen tries from the foul line. A large crowd attended the game. The line-up and summaries follow: MICHIGAN-31. M. A. C.-25 Rychener.........L. F... Capt Murray Bornstein.......R. F.......

It is generally conceded that there be no longer delay, as there appears to be no disposition to enter into an extended argument on the subject of measures to combat German aggres- sion in Siberia, and to protect the mil- itary stores at Vladivostock. One distinguished foreign repre- sentative said today that a situation has developed where the allies must place entire confidence in the recti- tude of purpose and the military abil- ity of Japan. This belief is that there can be no half confidence such as would be implied by an insistence of a pledge from Japan in advance of any action she may contemplate. Germans Press On in Russia The peace negotiations between the Bolsheviki and the Germans seems to have been broken off. The German advance into the interior of Russia is in full swing, with columns re- ported moving toward Petrograd, and pushing along in a northeasterly di- rection with the object of cutting off the capital and starving out the city. In the south, the Germans have oc- cupied Kiev, capitol of the republic of Ukraine. Reports indicate 4,000 killed and 7,000 wounded in the drive on the city.

Frayer, of -the history department, will deliver the second of the series of patriotic war lectures being given under the auspices of the Michigan Union, at 7:30 o'clock Wed- nesday evening at the School of Mu- sic.

The success of the first lecture of this series, given by Prof. C. H. Van Tyne last Wednesday evening, is a source of much encouragement to the Union, and it is hoped that an equally large audience will greet Professor Frayer.

U. S. TO CALL OUT LAST YEAR'S MEDICS SAYS DR. VAUT{GIAN All medical students who graduated from the University last year will be called into government service next July according to Lieut.-Col. Victor C. Vaughan. The law allows seven physicians for every 1,000 people, and therefore he says that an army of 2,- 000,000 physicians could be placed in government service without endanger- ing the home population. Lieutenant- Colonel Vaughan commends the gov- ernment in taking. action to keep men in medical schools to complete their courses. This will prevent a dearth in physicians such as has occurred",n England. H. Thurlby, '17; Visits Ann Arbor Harold Thurlby, '17, is in the city for a few days before sailing over- seas.
