TO SUPPRESS HONE
"CLEOPATRA" WILL PROBABLY
APPEAR ACCORDING TO
SCHE DULE
"I do not see that I have any, au-
thorityto suppress the film'Cleopatra'
until it has been shown and proved
unfit for the 'public," said Mayor Er-
nest M. Wurster yesterday when ap-
proached by the Women's club of the
city regarding the showing of Theda
Bara in the film "Cleopatra."
Mayor Wurster stated that he had
hot seen the picture himself and while
he had the utmost confidence in the
opinions of the people who had ap-
proached him concerning the film, he
could not act without more definite
information. .
Manager Not Responsible
Mr. J. I. Wanzeck, manager of the
Majestic theater where the film is
booked, said, "I shall be glad to do
all in my power to satisfy the people
of Ann Arbor in regard to the pic-
ture, for I am in no way responsible
for its appearance in this city. We
take what is sent us and have no
choice in the matter."
Mr. Wanzeck added that tere was
no place where it would be possible
to cut the film, but he invited any sug-
gestions which objectors to the film
could give in making it more suitable.
Picture Passed Censorship
"The picture has been passed by the
censorship boards of this state, and
this in itself, together with the fact
that the picture has never been sup-
pressed in any city where it was book-
ed, speaks favorably for the film,"
Mr. Wanzeck stated.
Mayor Wurster said that he belieed
the name of the film had made people
look at the picture unfavorably..
"There is a whole class of pictures
that I would like to see put out of ex-
istence, but as long as some are run
we can not discriminate between films
of so similar a caliber."
"I shall, however be glad, if I have
overlooked any facts in consideration
of this film, to have my attention called
to any such lapse."
SUMMER SESSION SHOULD BE
BOOSTED, SAYS DEAN KRAUS
"Students in the University are
urged to tell their friends, whether
they are attending some other college
or university, or are in business, to
attend Michigan's summer session this
year," said Professor E. H. Kraus,
dean of the summer session, yesterday
afternoon.
Dean Kraus further stated that the
students who know any one who might
be interested in the summer session.
should hand their names and ad-
dresses in at the summer session
rooms in University hall so that liter-
ature explaining the summer session
may be sent to them. The abridged

Specal Dispensation Given Seniors
and Juniors In Military
Training
LIEUTENANT WILL RECOMMEND
GOOD MEN FOR COMMISSIONS
More Must Sign For Summer Work
To Assure Government of
Success
Members of the present senior and
junior classes have been granted spec-
ial permission to attend the summer
military camp which may be given by
the war department for the R. 0. T. C.
The men in these classes will have to
attend one summer camp instead of
two, according to the military author-
ities.
In the future the men who have just
completed their sophomore and junior
years will attend these summer camps.
Provision has been made for students
to attend but two camps while enrolled
in the University.
Recommendations To Be Given
Seniors and juniors who attend this
camp and have done satisfactory work
during the present academic year and
while in the camp, will be recom-
mended for a commission, according
to a statement made by Lieut. George
C. Mullen yesterday. It is a privilege
for the men to attend a summer camp,
and they are supplied with uniforms,
sleeping quarters, and money for food
lay the government while receiving in-
struction.
Camp Required For Commissions
All men who receive recommenda-
tions in the officers' reserve must be in
attendance at a camp during the sum-
mer following the students' sopho-
more year, state general war orders
49, under the provisions of which the'
R. 0. T. C. is established at the Uni-
versity.
The cadets continue the R. 0. T. C.
work during the junior year in the
University and again attend a camp
between the junior and senior year.
Military work in the corps is complet-
ed during the senior year when the
cadets having satisfactory work to
their credit are recommended for a
commission in the officers' reserve.
Special Privilege Granted
In order to meet the requirements
of the times and to enable as many
men as possible to secure recommend-
ations for commissions, Lieutenant
Mullen has granted the special privil-I
ege to the present junior and senior'
classes. The training will be inten-
sive at the camp.
More students must signify their in-
tention of taking advantage of this op-
portunity to assure the government
that sufficient men will gain benefit
from the camp to justify the expense
and the time spent by the men.

Senate Passes Bill for Government
Control of Railroads By 39
Majority
Washiftgton, March 13.-Legislation
to change the system of drafting men
by dividing according to the number
of men in class 1, instead of the pop-
ulations of states, was held up in the
house today with the filing of an ad-
verse minority report by members of
the military committee, and by the
statement of Sherman Dent, that the
measure would not be called up until
after Secretary Baker's return from
France.
This will delay the second draft, as
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
announced that he will not go ahead
with it until the law is changed.
At the time the minority report was
filed General Crowder was before the
senate military committee urging
speedy consideration of the measure
and of another to require registration
of all men attaining 21 years of age
since June 5, 1917.
The senate has passed a bill to
change the basis of apportionment
and is expected to pass this week the
measure registering younger men. The
house committee has already filed a
favorable majority report on the bill
changing the apportionment.
Washington, March 13.-The senate
tonight adopted the conference reportl
on the administration railroad con-
trol bill by a vote of 47 to 8 after it
had rejected and conferees had elim-
inated a provision limiting the power
of the states to tax the carriers while
under federal control. The bill will
probably go tomorrow to the house
for final action. Senator Townsend
of Michigan, voted against the re-
port.
Principle provisions of the bill re-
tained, as the conferees adjusted them,,
are those for compensating the rail-'
roads on the basis of their net in-
come for the three years ending
June 30, 1917, involving an estimated
federal guarantee of about $945,000,-
000 annually; limiting federal opera-
tion to 21 months after the war; au-
thorizing the President to initiate lists,
subject to approval by the interstate
commerce commission; appropriating
$500,000,000 for a revolving fund for
the director general; and placing all
"short lines" within the federal sys-
tem.
Senator Townsend of Michigan, in
the final debate, re-itemated his crit-
icism saying that some of the bill's
principals are "subversient to good
government."
