The Thrift stamp -sale bears out this statement, and is one of the many ways in which this city is tak- ing the part of a much larger one. Reports have been circulated throughout the country of a record sale of Thrift stamps in Chicago some weeks ago, being greater relatively than the sale in .New York, St. Louis, and other large cities. The best week in Chicago shows that the Thrift stamps and War Savings stamps amounted to almost $3,000,000, which makes approximately nine cents to the individual. A similar comparison between the $6,000 sale in Ann Arbor last week with the 20,000 population shows that the averag'e per individual in this city is'more than three times that of the amount in Chicago. According to Post- master Horatio J. Abbott, in charge of the drive here, the results are proving to be very gratifying, and the figures are even greater than is expected from a city larger than Ann Arbor. Among the persons who have help- ed to establish this record are the students of the University. Stamps are being sold in almost every bus- iness house and office on State street, and in numerous parts of the cam- pus buildings. Union Play Holds Rare Distinction "Let's Go!" is to hold a unique place among college operas. It contains no drinking, smoking, or athletic song, and the words, "col- lege" and "knowledge" are not to be found rhyming with each other. More than half of the numbers have no reference to Ann Arbor or the Univer- sity. Fred Lawton, '11, co-author of "Ko- anzaland," has contributed a couple of lyrics to this year's opera. A. J Gornetzky, '19L, well known in cam- pus musical circles; has composed some melodies which are slated to make a hit. The majority of the mus- ic is the work of Earl V. Moors, '12. William R. Mills, ex-'18, co-author of the music for "All That Glitters," is helping in the orchestration of the score for "Let's Go!" He is enrolled in the ordnance course which is to open within a few days. RAILROAD CONTROL TO OUTLIVE WAR Washington, March 5.-Government control and operation of railroads probably will continue for 21 months after the war. A tentative agreement fixing that timer limit was reached late today. The railroad control bill now stands as a compromise for the two years proposed in the house bill and 18 months in the senate. Complete adjustment of differences in the measure is expected tomorrow in view of intimations that President Wilson would not object to the senate provision which gives him power to initiate rates, but retains authority for their final review by the inter-state commerce commission.

WHAT'S GOING ON Universities Wreak Athletic Relations Chicago, March 5.-The break in athletic relations between Northwest- ern university and the University of Minnesota was made known last night when Minnesota called off a basket- ball. game slated for March 18 at Evanston. The break was the indirect outcome of the blizzard of Jan. 11, it was explained today. That night Min- nesota's basketball team enroute to Evanston for a game on Jan. 12, was snowbound in Milwaukee and the game was postponed. Differences as to where and when the game should be played led to the resultant rupture. GERMANY SHORT OF MALE LABOR, EMPLOYS WOMEN New York, March 5.-Germany has been extremely short of male labor this winter, according to German newspapers. The. latest official labor statistics published show that there were only 56 applicants for every one hundred vacancies for male workmen. The market for female laborers show- ed for the first time since the early days of the war an oversupply, 108 applicants being registered for every hundred positions.'w The Prussian state railroads alone employ over one hundred thousand women in various capacities from section hand to railroad conductor. Before the war there were barely ten thousand women on the payrolls of the state railways, employed largely as scrubwomen although they were also found in the telegraph department, as clerks in various bureaus and some- times as crossing tenders. Minister von Breitenbach, head of the Prussian Ministry of Ways and Communications, said that if the war, continued the number of women em- ployed would increase even further in order to release more men for the colors. He stated in the Leipsic Illus- trated Zeitung that the women labor- ers had in general proved fairly satis- factory, attributing this in part to the fact that the use of trousers had been made compulsory, and hinted that skirted employees in the traffic depart- ment and on the roadbed would have been far less efficient.

LIBERTY WOMEN TO REPRESENT SEVEN UNIVERSITIES IN DEBATE HERE Reports from five of the seven uni- versities entered in the interstate Northern oratorical league mieet state that two of these schools have chosen women to represent them in the meet held in Ann Arbor this month. The Michigan finals which will be held at 8 o'clock Thursday evening in Univer- sity hall will be the sixth final held. The Northern oratorical league was organized under the direction of Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood of Michigan, who is now in Australia giving addresses the proceeds of which are given to the Red Cross.

OFFICIALS SEIZE GERMAN WIRELESS OUTFIT1 New York, March 5.-Wireless ap- paratus, sufficiently powerful to com- municate with Germany, which was in the possession of Richard Tfund, at one time manager of the German plants at Sayville, New York, and Tuckerton, N. 3., was seized yesterday by federal officials it became known today.
