FORMER MEMBER OF FACULTY
REPORTS ARCHEOLOGICAL
FIND
'Within the past week, the first au-
thentic report has been made public
concerning-one of the most remark-
able'discoveries every made of ancient
gold jewelry. This report is contained
in a monograph entitled, "A Gold
Treasure from Egypt," by Prof. Walt-
er Dennison of Swarthmore college,
who was formerly a member of the
literary faculty of the University of
Michigan.
While Professor Dennison was at-
tending an archaeological coagress in
1909 at Cairo, Egypt, he learned of the
discovery of eight object of gold jew-
elry, partially studden with gems and
a small statuette of rock-crystal.
These were purchased by Mr. Charles
L. Freer of Detroit, who added them to
his art collection. Owing to the fact
that the diggers in Egypt divide ob-
jects of value upon discovery to pre-
vent the government from sceuring
athem, some time elapsed before Prof.
Dennison heard of a new find which
consisted ,of six more pieces of Jew-
elry, obviously a part of the same
treasure. Herr Ludwig von Gans of
Frankfurt, Germany, bought and pre-
sented them to the antiquarian in
Berlin.
In 1912, the late J. Pierpont Morgan
and his sister, Mrs. Walter Burns of
London, England, were in Cairo, and
bought 16 more valuable articles from
the same source, part of which was
given to the British museum and the
remainder was added to the Morgan
collection in New York. Several years
later, von Gans obtained five additional
pieces alleged to be from the original
treasure.
It is not possible to affirm with cer-
tainty in what place the treasure was
found. It was at first believed to have
been discovered near the village of
Tomet in upper Egypt, but later Shekh
Abada, on the east bank of the Nile
is credited with having Teen the real
place of discovery. Several of the ob-
jects are partially- covered with sand
consisting of reddish flint-like par-
ticles which adhere firmly. It is
probable that these pieces of jewelry
lay for centuries in some spot in the
desert, having been hidden in time of
danger, possibly just before the Arab
conquest in the middle of the Seventh
century.
With the exception of the rock-crys-
tal statuette, all the articles are of
gold, set with costly gems. such as,
emeralds, sapphires, pears, and ame-
thysts. Among the most beautiful of
all the objects from the treasure,'is
one of the necklaces in the Burns col-
lection, a hand-wrought pendant of
rare filigree work and heavily be-jew-
eled. Noteworthy also is a large gold'
medallion in the Freer collection
stamped with the head of Theodosius
I. Every piece is a fine specimen of
the work done by the skillful artisans'
during the period between the Third
and Sixth centuries.
COAL DEALERS ORGANIZE TO '
PREVENT FUTURE SHORTAGE
Steps for organizing a local coal
dealer's association were taken Thurs-
day evening in the city Y. M. C. A.f
rooms. The purpose of the organiza-
tion is to secure an efficient methods
for a better supply of coal next year
and a more equitable distribution.
All Ann Arbor dealers were present
but one who was out of the city. Rep-
resentatives of the State 'and Detroit'
association told- of the plan of their1
organization and the results they hade
brought about in the last year, being1
largely instrumental in bringing about
a relief for the last coal shortage.
No attempt was made to organize at
this gathering, but a meeting of the
coal dealers will be held next Monday
evening at which plans will be present-,
ed for an effective organization. E.

MILITARY NEWS
Final make-up drills will be held
from 9 to 3 o'clock today in Waterman
gymnasium for cadets having "incom-
plete" from last semester. This is the
last opportunity to make up th ab-
sences of the semester and secure
credit for the semester's military
training. The mark of "incomplete"
will automatically change to "it
passed" if cadets fail to complete the
back work by this afternoon.
A general order will be issued ncxt
week covering applications for ex-
cuses.
All recommendations of cadets de-
serving appointment as non-commis-
sioned officers, in accordance with
general orders No. 2, have been sub-
mitted to the adjutant. These recom-
mendations will be considered by the
commandant and the adjutant today.
It is probable that the special orders,
announcing appointments, will be is-
sued in the near future.
Advanced Class Shows Improvement
For the first time since the advanced
class started five nights ago, the ca-
dets drilled in the open last night.
After the roll was taken in the base-
ment of Waterman gymnasitn, the
cadets marched in formation on North
University avenue. At the interse-
tion of North University avenue and
State street, they executed intricate
movements. For the remainder of the
hour, the men drilled on State street.
Considering the fact that this was
the fifth drill, the cadets showed im-
provement. The different* flanking
movements were performed with
clock-like precision, the obeyance of
the involved orders issued by the com-
mander, and the perfect formation of
the class for inspection, gave the ca-
ual spectators a thrill of pride as they
glanced at the cadets in their R. 0. T
C. uniforms.
Due to the lack of marching room in
thew handball court, the men will be
taken -outside when the weather per-
mits. Platoon drills will be taken up
next week.
Cadets enlisted in the advanced
class are now studying "Infantry Drill
Regulations," and have been assigned
several chapters for next week. The
men will be quizzed during the drills
on the work covered by the book.

Word was received by Mrs. C. Ban-
croft yesterday that her son, Walter,
a member of the Company E, 126th
infantry largely recruited in Ann Ar-
bor, arrived safely in France March 7.
Addressed cards were left with the
war department announcing safe ar-
rival in France upon their departure,
and these cards were sent out as soon
as official notice of their arrival was
received. The other notices of this
arrival will probably reach here with-
,n a few days.
All exceptions to the food adminis-
tration rule requiring the purchase
of an equal amount of substitutes
with each purchase of wheat flour
have been revoked because of the nec-
essity of conserving wheat for the Al-
lies.
85th Division Men to Stay in France
Michigan men who received com-
missions and went to France from the
85th division will not return till after
the war is over. Many officers were
sent abroad some time ago for special-
ized training and with the tentative
promise that they would return after
a few months for special service here,
but recently the crders have been
changed so that all these officers will
remain in France. Some MichigDl
men whom this order affects are,
Samuel C. Simmons, '15E, Jarvis C.
Malble, '16E, and Charles B. Lawton,
'17L.
puttees of the R. 0. T. C. men accord-
ing to recent orders. Now "rookies,"
who with the advent of the new uni-
forms have been raisedto the rank of
"rooks," must carry their pens and
pencils in their hands rather than
run the risk of having a wrinkle in
the new costumes.
Time was when the puttee of the
soldier was a.hostler for a knife. Time
was when the fighting man carried a
dagger in the left puttee in case the
bayonet should fail.
But the modern fountain conveni-
ence has displaced the curved knife
of Civil war days, and again it is as-
serted that the pen is mightier than
the sword.
MANDOLIN CLUB PRACTICES
FOR PRE-VACATION CONCERT:
With the arrival of new music, the]
Varsity Mandolin club has started
practice for the second Glee and Man-
dolin club concert to be given shortly
after the spring vacation.
Due to the fact that several of the
club's..men have left school to enter
the service, many new men are needed;
especially for the guitar parts, and
it is urged that any men who desire to
tryout for these positions, and are
eligible scholastically, should report
immediately to Frank A. Taber, phone
2121-J.
Any men who are taken into the club
at this time stand an excellent chance
to make the trips planned for the club
this spring, among which will be a
trip to Camp Custer.

LARGE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
EXPECTED IN SUMMER SCHOO
Prospects for the summer sessic
attendance despite the war conditior
are unusually promising, according I
Dean E. H. Kraus. Inquiries com
cerning the work have been receive
in great numbers from all parts c
the country.
The eastern schools are looking fo
a small attendance, due to the traff!
congestion and the added expense c
travelling resulting from the war tai
These conditions, Dean Kraus' though
account for the numerous inquirie
from persons desirious of attendin
western and central state schools.
GENERALf HEALTH OF STUDENTS
GOOD; FEW CONTAGIOUS CASE
Reports from the University healt
service Thursday show that the ger
eral health of the students of the Un
versity is very good at this time.
''here are only a few contagiou
cases, with mumps and measles in th
lead. There are also two cases c
scarlet fever at the Contagious ho,
pital.
No cases have been reported as
result of the recent contaminated wa
er supply. It is thought that nor
will now result, as the time givep. f
their appearance has elapsed.
