MILITARY NEWS C Captain Dutoit spoke to the R.0,. T
C. men yesterday afternoon on the
w elcome the -French would give the
"Leather or wrapped puttees are men when they arrived "over there"
strictly forbidden to be worn by cad- for the final drive for a complete vic-
of the University of Michigan
t our new line of very smart models in
ets," stated Lieut. George C. Mullen
yesterday afternoon. These two
brands of puttees are worn only by
commissioned officers and if a cadet
adopts this style it will produce a
false impression. A more serviceable
puttee can be obtained at $5.50 a pair.
This brand is leather lined and is cov-
ered with canvas. I also suggest that
the cadets refrain from sticking their
fountain pens in the puttees as this is
undignified."

REDMOND, IRISH
CHIEFTAIN, DIES
London, March 6.-John E. Red-
mond, Irish nationalist leader, died
this morning, following an operation
last Friday. Death was due to heart
failure, as the result of the operation,
+.nd came peacefully at 7:45 o'clock.
He was 67 years old. On Monday he
was reported as progressing toward
recovery.
The Irish convention, which had
been supported by Mr. Redmond, yes-
terday adopted a message of sym-
pathy, in which an earnest wish was
expressed for his early and complete
recovery.
Redmond had been the Irish Nation-
alist leader in the house of commons
tince shortly after his election to par-
liament in the 80's. He was the prin-
cipal factor in the home rule govern-
ment.
AMERICAN WOMEN ARE URGED
TO AID IN FARM WORK,
Kalamazoo, March .-"Women in
the United States.must engage in farm
work," Dr. Alonzo E. Taylor, professor
of psychological chemistry at the
University of Pennsylvania and mem-
ber of the federal war trade board
declared yesterday.
Similar sentiments are being ex-
pressed all over the country by prom-
inent people, and an important con-
ference of Michigan women has been
called to meet at Lansing, March 12
and 13. Food problems, registration
of women for war service, will be
discussed at this meeting.
The purpose of the conference is to
recruit large numbers of Michigan wo-
men who will actually go out upon the
land to plant, cultivate, and harvest
crops, and also help the farmers'
wives with the added burdens wkhich
come to them through increased acre-
age. The work in registration will be
a preparation for the registration of
Michigan women for war service, dur-
ing the week of April 6.
Governor Sleeper will publicly en-
dorse the call and many men and wo-
men of national prominence will ap-
pear on the program of the two days'
conference.
