FORMER STUDENT
KILLED OVERSEAS
Word has just been received from
the aeronautic department of the
navy that Frederick W. Hough, ex-'18,
was killed March 13, overseas. No
particulars were given in the mes-
sage.
Hough enlisted in the Naval Avia-
tion corps in March, 1917, while a
sophomore at college. He was sent
across in May, and received all his
training abroad. He graduated from
his training class with honors, and
later made a record flight, reaching
an altitude of 12,600 feet. He re-
ceived a commission as ensign and
was sent to Scotland. Letterstreceiv-
ed from him after that show that he
was again in France, probably in
active duty.
Hough was the son of William"
Hough of Chicago, of the Pullman
company, and was a member of the
Chi Psi fraternity.

CLOSER RELATIONSHIP
STUDENTS EXPECTED
RESULT
WITH
AS
Plans were made at the regularj
meeting of the Student council held
Sunday afternoon at the Union to
install communication boxes in var-'
ious buildings on the campus so that
students having matters which they
believe should be called to the at-
tention of the council can be sure that
they will get into the proper hands
and be given consideration.
A committee was also appointed to
investigate the matter of getting
items of news about things that hap-
pen at the University in various daily
papers throughout the country. A
communication in The Daily a few
days ago was the cause of this matter
being brought up.
The council also adopted a motion
stating that it should be made known
on the campus that the regular meet-
ings of the body were open to any and
all students who cared to attend.
The nextameeting will be held Tues-
day evening, March 26.
C. B. Campbell, '19E, R. E. Gault, '19,
B. G. Krause, '18, and R. C. Patter-
son, '18, were sworn in as members of
the council.
The registration of R. D. Smith,
'19E, which has been in the hands of
the secretary for some time, and the'
acceptance of which has been delayed
until Smith was called into active ser-
vice, was accepted yesterday. Smith
left with the naval auxiliary yester-
day morning.

Speaker Denies Extravagance Charges
Made by Pro-Germans Against
Red Cross
"The Soul of France is the French
women. Everywhere, all over France,
they struggle on. It is not those who
pre fighting that are the soul of the
nation, but the women who stay be-
hind and suffer. And I believe that
it is the women of France who have
given her the glorious character she
has."
This was the key-note of the ad,
dress, "Three months at the Front,"
given under the auspices of the Uni-
versity Y. M. C. A. in Hill. auditor-
ium last evening by Bishop C. D. WI
,liams of Detroit, before an audience
of more than 1500 people. Bishop
Williams has recently returned from
the scenes of American Red Cross
work in France.
Red Cross- Not Extravagant
Speaking of the American Red
Cross he said: "Every dollar you
give to the Red Cross has the value
of a dollar and two cents in France.
This is because hundreds of men and
women are giving their services to hu-
manity with no thought of remunera-
tion, of finanical reward. There is
none of the extravagances that pro-
German propaganda is wont to accuse
the Red Cross of.
"The American Red Cross operate
everywhere. It supports 1600 hospi..
tals with a ward house full of drugs
and bandages behind every hospital
It supports recuperation stations
where nerve-shattered soldiers can
regain their health."
Red Cross As Essential As Guns
Bishop Williams dwelt at length
upon the importance of the Red Cross
.work, He particularly laid "stress
upon the importance of the Red Cross
work by saying: "The American Red
Cross is just as immediately essential
to our boys as guns. The front line
trench is right here at home. Unless
the front line trench here holds, the
front line trench at the front cannot
hold and the war will be lost."

mer. Graduate students, as well as

Society Features Vocabulary Contest
A vocabulary contest was one of the .
features at the regular meeting of
the Athena Literary society held last,
evening. The contest closed in a tie !
and showed an average vocabulary of
the members present of 12,960 words.
The second part of the evening's pro-,
gram consisted of an oration given by
Bernice L. Jones, '18, entitled "The

(Summary of War Developments)
In spite of the fact that the all-Rus-
sian congress of Soviets has ratified
the peace treaty forced by the Ger-
mans, the advance of the Teutons es-
pecially in southern Russia continues.
In southern Ukraine the capture of
the important city of Nikolayev,
where vast stores of grain were re-
ported to have been piled up, has been
officially announced by the Germans,
who have also followed up their ag-.
gressive tactics in other provinces in
the southern central regions of Rus-
sia.
Action by Japan in Siberia is still
in abeyance and there is no indica-
tion of what may be done there. Re-
ports from Siberia continue to be
grave. Liberated German prisoners
of war are said to be co-operating
with the bolshevik leaders. On March
16 they participated in the battle with
the forces led by General Semenoff,
the non-Bolshevik leader.

SAMMIES ASK FOR
TECHNICAL BOOKS
Six hundred books are now in the
office of the general library awaiting
shipment to the dispa ch headquart-
ers of the American 11orary associa-
tion. They will be held until 1,000
volumes are received, when they will
be sent to the Cleveland office.
Text books were received in abund-
ance Saturday, though there were
more books of fiction. More engineer-
ing books are wanted in particular,
as the demand in the cantonment li-
braries is to a great extent for these
works. Histories and French books
are also .being called for. Magazines
are not wanted, as the libraries are
already flooded with periodicals.
Posters have arrived, and have been
placed in many of the campus stores,
and on the bulletin boards of the
University. With General Pershing's
new order, it will be possible to estab-
lish army libraries in France. Each
transport that goes across the Atlan-
tic will carry a number of volumes
across.
BELGIAN RELIEF DRIVE
BEGINS HERE TOMORRO1W
UNION AND WOMEN'S LEAGUE
WILL ASSIST IN COLLECT-
ING CLOTHING
George F. Hurley, '18L, president of
the Union, and Anna Lloyd, '18, presi-
dent of the Women's league, will rep-
resent their respective organizations
in the four-day campaign for cloth-
ing for the Belian sufferers.
Arrangements were completed yes-
terday whereby both the Union and
Barbour gymnasium will be open to
receive any contributions of clothing
or footwear all day Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of
this week. Any apparel will be ac-
ceptable with the exception of rubber
goods which cannot be shipped to
Europe. Suspenders, garters, and elast-
ic goods of this nature are included in
the embargo.
Many phone calls were received
yesterday by Dr. Warren P. Lombard
chairman of the committee in charge
here in regard to contributions. Any
one desiring further information
,about the matter can get it by calling
1729, the Huron street headquarters
of the committee, which are open 9 to
6 o'clock daily.
People contributing shoes and boots
are asked to wipe the dirt and mud if
there should be any from these arti-
cles. This will save the few people
in charge of the packing the trouble
of going over several hundred pairs
of shoes and will tend to distribute
and facilitate the work.
Arrangements will be made for the
public to be informed of the progress
of the campaign and the amount of
clothing secured each day through the
columns of the daily papers.

Dr. H. Edwin Lewis, editor of Am-

paper of as inspiring and helpful a
character as yours should have a
much wider and more extensive aud-
ience than any medical journal can
give. No intelligent person can read
it without deriving great and lasting
benefit. Your article carries a mes-
sage that should reach the whole
thinking class of the country."
The geneal public, medical stu-

tend. It is suggested that minors be
accompanied by parents.
