MAN ARRESTED AS
ANNOY ER OF GIRLS
David Anderson, Washtenaw and
Forests avenues, was arrested at his
home Sunday evening on the charge
of assaulting University girls and was
later identified by several of them
as the man who made a practice of
loitering on the streets in the vicinity
of the campus and accosting them.
His arrest was made after he had
been followed to his home by some
University students whose suspicions
were aroused when they saw him at-
tempting to gain an entrance into one
of the houses through the window.
Anderson appeared before Judge
W\illiam G. Doty yesterday mforning
and pleaded guilty to a charge of dis-
orderly conduct. This charge was
preferred against him because the po-
lice were unable to locate any one
who would take the responsibility of
signing a complaint for a more ser-
ious offense. He was fined $5 and
costs which were paid by his local
friends who believe him innocent.
Anderson is 20 years old and has a
wife and child. He is being held on
probation by the local police and must
report to the chief every week.

(By Associated Press)
American initative has asserted it-
self on the Lorraine front in France.
Three savage raids on the German
lines have been made by the Americ-
ans, who succeeded in reaching the
second line of enemy trenches before
being ordered to return. During their
stay in German territory they destroy-
ed carefully built defenses and picked
up much war material, '
The American artillery ably as-
sisted the infantry in the operation.
A heavy barrage fire was laid down in
front of the advancing Americans and
the Germans fled' before the wave of
infantry reached the hostile positions.
After the Americans had been in the
German trenches for a few minutes
the German barrage fire was loosed on
them, but the American guns answer-
ed shot for shot and silenced a num-
ber of batteries. The American artil-
lerymen used gas shells with good
effects. Near Toul the American heavy
guns have been in action.
Three raids on the British lines
have been attempted by the Germans
in the Ainentieres sectors, but the
British, in spite of a heavy fire from
the enemy's heavy guns, repulsed the
Teutons, The fighting has spread
along the Flanders front, the Ypres
and the Passcheudaele sectors figur-
ing in the official reports. The activ-
ities of the contending armies have+
spread farther south, encounters near
St. Quentin, being mentioned for the
first time in many weeks.
There has been fighting on quite
a large scale on the Italian front. In
the mountain sectors of the line, en-
emy attacks have been checked, while
along the Piave river front the Aus-
trians were defeated in an attempt to'
launch pontoons for an attack on the
Italian lines.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP
CHILDREN WITH GARDEN PLOTS
Several University men and women
have volunteered to plant potatoes and
weed vegetable gardens this spring as
assistants to Mrs. E. M. Richard of
the Ann Arbor school gardens, and
many more are needed.
A special request for volunteers was
made yesterday through the sociology;
class conducted by Prof. C. H. Cooley.
The work will be essentially in direct-
ing children in preparing, planting,
and weeding their school gardens. This
opportunity is given the University stu-
dents for social service work which
will be patriotic as well as educa-
tional.
MARINE CORPS OFFICERS PLAN
CREATION OF "SINGING ARMY"
Quantico, Va., March 11.-"Our
main object," said a marine porps
officer in regard to the organization
of the Marine band, "is to create a
singing army, a splendid idea that has
been put into practice by all the al-
lied forces, and one that tends to
keep the morale of the army at the
top notch of fighting efficiency."
Well-known ballads are sung as a
part of the daily routine, while new

titled "Our Duty." In this, Dean
Cooley comments on the president's
remarls, and dwells on the relation of
the student to the war.

title of an article by W. F. Gerhardt,

REV. DOUGLAS TO SPEAK ON
'RELIGION IN THE WORLD TODAY'
The Rev. Lloyd C. Douglas will
speak on "Religion in the World To-
day" at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in
Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
The lecture is the lat pe of the
"World Today"! seri s ik which yap-
ions phases of the pregent ay havei
been presen eq. The leptures IlayeE
been very well attended so far, and
is hoped that n even larger aud-
ience will turn out for the final talk
of the series,
That all charges of disloyalty to the
United States filed in the past have
been investigated and found ground-
less, was the statement made yester-
day by Secretary of the University
Shirley W. Smith. H declared .hat
future charges will receive just as
careful investigation.
This statement comes in refutation
to many rumors that have been cir-
culating the campus the last few days
regarding further dismissals of fac-
ulty men.
If the enrollment of the engineer-
ing school next year does not demand
as large a faculty as that in offi.
now, several men will. be dropped,
Dean Mortimer E. Cooley said yester-
day. The first men dismissed will be
those whose loyalty there is any reas-
on to doubt. Recommendations to
this effect will be included in the bud-
get of the engineering school to be
presented to the regents at their next
meeting.
It is reported that Prof. W. W. Flor-
er of the German department, who
was among those dismissed at the last
Regent's meeting, feels that a mistake
has been made regarding the number
of students who will take German
next year and that a faculty just as
large as the present one will be need-
ed.
AUGUST TO SPEAK
IN PLACE OF WARD
Herman A. August, '19, who won
second place at the interstate North-
ern Oratorical league finals held lasta
Thursday evening, will speak in the
place of Robert Ward, ex-18 winner,

the team which lost to Chicago a
short time ago.
August was a member of the1
Central league debating team and.
has had considerable experience in or-+
atorical work. He will be one of the+
"Four-Minute" speakers for the third
