Washington, March 12.-It is not
thought in official circles that the
shipping board will adopt any of the
plans submitted for the building of un-
sinkable ships. Naval exrerts are
unanimously opposed to the idea, iold-
ing that the adoption of such plans
would involve considerable delay. and
would necessitate from 60 to G5 per
cent reconstruction of vessels new in
service.
Rear Admiral Albert G. Winterhalt-
er has completed tests of the former
steamer Lucia, equipped with "buoy-
ancy boxes designed to make her un-
sinkable," and is now preparing a re-
port for Josephus Daniels, secretary1
of the navy. It is thought the reportl
will be unfavorable.t

Changes in the administration of
Angell house were approved by 'the
board of directors of the Ann Arbor
branch of the Red Cross at their
monthly meeting last night. The res-
ignation of Mrs. Dean Loree was ac-
cepted and the house was left in
charge of a committee of seven, with
Miss E. W. Dean, chairman.
Miss Dean reported that a total of
40,245 gauze and muslin dressings
had been shipped since Feb. 1. It has
been asked that the dressings be
wrapped ready for sterilization, here-
after, which is a recognition of the
fact that bandages made by this
branch are high grade and require no
further inspection.
A class of 12 in special dressings has
recently completed a course of study.
A teachers' course and a course in
standard dressings are now being con-
ducted, and a new class in standard
dressings is to open on Thursday,
March 21.
The report of Mrs. H. C. Adams,
chairman of the finance committee,
showed an expenditure of $375 by the
surgical dressings department during
the past month, an unusually small
amount.
Civilian relief is conducted by a'
committee, Mr. A. E. Wood, chairman,
and Miss Grace Carleton, secretary.
In addition to government appropri-
ations, for this purpose, the Ann Ar-
bor branch-has voted a monthly sum.
A shipment of 476 articles, includ-
ing operating and convalescent gowns,
bed jackets, spreads, comfort pillows,
leggings, pajamas,'and hospital shirts,
was announced by Mrs. Louis P. Hall,
chairman of the sewing committee.
Miss Alice Douglas reported 655
knitted articles shipped during Feb-
ruary and March. Two hundred and
twenty' dollars worth of yarn was
used, and much more could have been
utilized if it could have been pro-
cured.

Soon
Prof. Clyde E. Wilson of the engin-
eering college, was appointed yester-
day to take charge of the third Lib-
erty Loan drive among the students.
No permanent plans have as yet
been made as to the time and condi-
tions of the campaigntwhich is to be
launched on the campus. The Wash-
tenaw county war preparedness com-
mittee is, however, holding daily con-
ferences at which arrangements are
being made to use all available means
in making the third sale of govern-
mene bonds successful.
Quotas Announced Later
The amount and terms of the na-
tional loan will probably be announc-
ed 17 a few days, as soon as Congress
has granted the treasury department
the necessary powers to act. The
quotas for Washtenaw county, Ann
Arbor, and the campus will be pub-
lished as soon as Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo has acted upon the
quotas for the individual states.
Several committees have been an-
nounced by the county committee as,
follbws:
Ray E. Bassett, '13, will have charge
of the distribution of literature and
posters in the city as well as the coun-
ty. Bassett has the assistance of the
local Boy Scouts who have volunteer-
ed their services as in previous cam-
paigns.
To Have Campaign in Schools
Principal Louis L. Forsythe of the
Ann Arbor high school, and Superin-
tendent H. M. Slauson of the Ann Ar-
bor schools, will have complete charge
of the campaign in the schools.
Prof. Clarence T. Johnston of the
engineering college, will have charge

ty, and Frank A. Stivers, '94-'95L, for

atory department, will be in charge of
the "Four Minute' 'speakers at the
theaters and other places of amuse-
ment.
TUBERCULAR SOLDIERS SPEND
RAIL FARES; LEFT DESTITUTE
Los Angeles, March 12.-Soldiers
discharged from camps in California,
because they have contracted tubercu-
losis, have spent the money allowed
them for transportation to their
homes and are caught in the state
without any means of support. A
great many of these men think that
California Is the best place to be
treated for tuberculosis, although
California has not sufficient facilities
to- care for her own tubercular pa-
tients.
Because of this condition there is
an insistent demand for the repeal of
the law which allows discharged sol-
diers a lump sum of money at the rate
of 3 1-2 cents per mile, instead of
transportation which was formerly
alvwed
WORK ON UNION BUILDING NOT
RETARDED BY COLD WEATHER
"Work on the Union building has
not been slackened to any great extent
by the cold weather," says Superin-
tendent S. Holskins, who is in charge
of building operations. "The enorm-
ous excavation for the reservoir and
cistern which will supply the swim-
ming pool are now nearly ready for
cementing. The slate roof is nearing
completion, and the mechanical. con-
structions are progressing much fast-

er than was at first expected." AtE
the present time the company is not
far behind on their contract in spite
of the severe winter.

Selects Needed at Once to Fill
Units for Early Departure;"
Michigan's Quota 5,55

Washington, March 12.-Approxi-
mately 95,000 selected men will be
called to the colors during theAfive-
day period, beginning March 29, ac-
cording to the details of an announce-
ment issued today by Provost Mar-
shal General Crowder. Eighty thou-
sand will be men of the first draft of
637,000 not yet summoned into ser-
vice. There will be 800,000 men called
under the second army draft. They
will be called gradually during the.
present year. -
Details of how the 'second. draft is
to be applied will be made public later,
after congress has acted upon propos-
ed legislation providing for the regis-
tration of youths attaining the age of
21 years and for basing. state and dis-
trict quotas on the number of regis-
trants in class one. In his first offi-
cial statement on the subject, however,
General Crowder assures the country
that no sweeping withdrawal of large
numbers of men at one tiue Is con-
templated, and that care will be taken
to avoid interference with harvesting.
Michigan's Quota 5,558
Ninety-five thousand men now call-
ed, it is understood, are needed at
once to fill up the divisions and other
units scheduled for early departure,
or to take the place of men transferred
from other divisions to make up such
deficiencies. Michigan's quota of this
next. call is 5,558.
8soo0 Called This Year
The 800,000 men to be summoned
this year represents the number nec-
essary to build up all existing divis-
ions, to create all the army corps and
field army troops, to fill out the war
machine for which the frame work
already exists, and to provide a quart-
er of a million replacement troops.
When they will be mobilized, which
will not be completed before the first
of next year, there will be more than
40 full infantry divisions of 27,700 men
each and all the additionals units nec-
essary.
Final Taxi Rates
Are Deided UPon
Final taxi rates for the city were
decided on at the second reading of
the taxi ordinance by the ordinance
committee. A flat rate of 35 cents has
been agreed on, and 25 cents fr all
trips under half a mile. A set of rules
were drawn up for the taxi drivers to
conform to, including the matter of
overcrowding. Cars must not carry
more passengers than they are design-
ed for. All violations of. thes-- rules
will be severely dealt with.
A plan' was proposed by one of the
prominent members of the committee
to modify the expense of a proposed
meter rate. This plan involved the
mapping of the city into districts irom
common cnters. The rate was to be
'25 cents for the first half mile and five
cents for each successive mile. Stu-
dents would have been able in this
case to get to almost any point on
the campus from either depot for 25
cents, and small trips to buildings
near the campus would come under the
35 cent rate. People living far out of
town, however, would have been forc
ed to pay an additional rate. Although
the plan was thought by the majority
to be just and equitable, yet it was
generally thought that there would be
some difficulty in the execution of it.
The final decision was merely a
compromise of this plan and the stan-
dard 35 cent rate advocated by many
of the committee. The rates for
trunks will remain the same as be-
fore.
