D. Groves, food ad- ministrator for Washtenaw county, has received the following telegram from the federal authorities: "No restrictions on the sale of meats on Tuesday by retail dealers." Two causes are pointed out as mak- ing this order necessary. It is known that heavy meat shipments, held up during the winter on this side, were delayed in transit until a few weeks ago. They have already reached the Pacific and Atlantic ports and sup- plied the wants of the Allies. Tremendous amounts of soft corn, injured by an early frost in the corn belt, were fed to hogs and cattle, and corn-fed live _stock, has resulted in meat sources of abundanceand qual- ity. The food administration urges that the wheat consumption be cut down to 21,000,000 bushels a month to save the Allies until harvest. The use of wheat has been limited to one and a half pounds a week per person, and wheat products, including pies and cakes, are cut to one-half pound per person. Mr. Prescott appealed for the co- operation of everyone in conserving wheat products. He said, "To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent on the voluntary as- sistance of all the American people." .March Inlander On Sale Today An article entitled "An Experiment in Aesthetics," by Prof. F. N. Scott of the rhetoric department, is one of the features of the March Inlander which will go op sale today. Profes- so. Scott has made some interesting observations of a child's appeciation of art, and he tells the rather surprid- ing and naive reactions of a child's mind to beautiful pictures. Lucile Quarry, '18, the author of "The Military Cross," has contributed two of a series of a quite different sort, whicheshe calls "Caikly Chron- icles.' They are character sketches,, poignant in reality and impressive in simplicity. Two alumni in the service have sent wartime sketches. Ingle Whin- ery describes stunt night in an army camp, while Leon Cunningham tells what it means to be a yeoman. "The White Marquis" is concluded in this issue, and Everyman, as usual, gives many brief and intimate per- sonal glimpses.

Submarines Increase Weekly Toll London, March 27. - Submarines and mines have increased their week- ly toll of British shipping. The ad- miralty report shows that in the last week 28 merchantment were sunk, 16. of the vessels being 1,600 tons or over, and 12 under that tonnage. One fishing vessel was lost Kalamazoo Club Will Banquet The Kalamazoo Normal club will give a dinner at.6 o'clock this evening at the First Methodist Episcopal Suggests Patriotic Verse For Anthem A suggested fourth verse for "The Yellow and Blue," Michigan's college anthem, has been written by Bertha C. Herbst, '12. It deals fundamentally with Michigan men in the service. The proposed addition is as follows: Hail to our College men fighting for right, Hurrah 'for the Yellow and Blue! Blue for each' star on. its background of white, : - With a- prayer that the gold stars be few; Loyal the answer our. men gave the call, And loyal-.our women who help through it all. Hail!

Terence's "Phormio," one of the masterpieces of Roman comedy, was presented in English last night by the Classical club in University hall. With much of the.objection to an- cient drama in a foreign tongue re- moved by the use. of a clever transla- tion made by Prof. J. Raleigh Nelson. of the engineering English depart- ment, the play appealed more strong ly to the popular interest, and suc- ceeded in demonstarting conclusively that. the classicsare not yet dead. Story Interesting Upon the framework f a eon's fear - of his father's wrath at his marriage to an unknown girl, a friend's pass- ionate love for a slave maiden, and a hen-pecked husband's dread of his wife's discovery that he has another spouse, Terence has woven a master- piece which abounds in humorous sit- nations, witty lines, and rapid move- ment.h George D. Wilner, instructor in the oratory department and director of the production, in the role of Geta, the scheming slave, was easily the star of the performance. Playing quite a difficult part, Wilner acted it to per- fection, and the spontaneity and nat- uralness of his work called forth many laughs from the appreciative audience. Carson is Clever In the portrayal of Phormio, an in- ventive, conceited parasite, Ralph M,- Carson, grad., had many opportunities for clever work, and he lost none of them. Enjoying immensely the hu- mor of the situations into which his knavery has thrown his fellow towns- men, Carson conveyed that spirit to his audience, at no time allowing in- terest to drag. Making his first appearance before an Ann Arbor audience, Albert C. Jacobs, '21, as Demipho, a' gentlemuan of Athens, displayed' considerable dramatic ability.- W. Keith Chidester, '20, taking the role of Chremes, the hen-pecked husband, played his part well, patiently enduring the awful wrath of his wife, Nausistrate, a role carried by Elizabeth Bakes, '20. Cast Good- Though the greater part of the cast of "Phormio" was inexperienced, it played well up to the standard set by former Classical club productions, and the presentation met due succesi' for its faithful pieturization of the an- cient tribes as peoples who thought, reasoned, and felt as we do today. IU. S. WARSHIP BRINGS IN CAPTURED HUN SEA PEST A Pacific Port, March 27. - Nine prisoners of war, two of them women, arrived here today aboard a United States warship which had in tow the auxiliary schooner, the Alexander Ag- ossiz, outfitted by Germans as a raid- er of the sea. The schooner was captured a week ago off the coast .of Mexico. Government officials said that they had information to the respect that seven Germans who embarked on the would-be raider at Mazatlam, Mex- ico, had orders from the German con- sul there to seize any ship they could, and then to proceed to the South Seas for raiding activities against com- merce of the Allies.a Senior, junior; and sophomore engineers will hold assemblies this morning, the seniors meeting at 8 o'clock, the juniors at 11 o'clock, and the sophomores at 10 o'clock. The question of an ex- tended summer session will be presented at each assembly by Dean M. E. Cooley. * I FRtEM SPEIA CURSE ADED IN NAVAL ACHITECTURE NAVY DEPARTMENT NEEDS MEN EXPERIENCED IN DRAFTING; SENIORS ELIGIBLE Naval architecture will be offered by the University as a special short beginning April 1, at the request of the navy department and the civil service commission. The work will be open to seniors in the engineering college only. According to a letter received by Prof. Herbert C. Sadler, of the naval architecture and marinenengineerng department, "Each student will be rated' as if' he had finshed the course, but no' applicant' will be declared elig- ible for appointment until there shall be fled with the 'commission a certifi- cate stating' that the applicant has satisfactorily passed the course." Draftsmen Needed Reasons for offering the course, as explained by the commission, show that there is an urgent.need.for drafts- men. The commission wrote "that all instiutions which undertake to add to the available supply of draftsmen are rendering a service of the greatest value to th'e people," In connection with the' draft, Mr. F. D. Roosevelt, assistant -secretary of the navy, writes, "Draftsmen in the navy department, who are registrants upon request to their local boards for thei -tansfer. to the emergency fleet classification list, will secure total exemption from the draft so long as they are meployed." Fifty Hours Work The work required in the course will be 50 hours in the class room, and 100 hours 'of drafting or its equivalent. Students who drop other' work will receive partial credit for such courses, with six hours credit for this special short course added. Training and experience of the indi- vidual will determine the scale of pay. The sum varies from $4 to $4.96 per day. MICHIGAN TECHNIC COMES OUT TODAY The Michigan Technic will be on sale at the tables in the Engineering building all day today and tomorrow. Engineering society members must have their cards with them in order to obtain their' copies. Non-members may purchase the Technic at 40 cents a copy. The leading- article is by Dean Mor- timer E. Cooley, and is entitled, "The Engineer and the War." This treatise features a photographic reproduction of President Wilson's letter to Dean Cooley, with comments on the letter by the dean. F. W. Gerhardt, '17E, in an article on "Absolute Safety in Aircraft" tells of air machines and appliances, which their inventors claim will reduce the danger of air-flight almost to zero or' may even end the war in 30 days. Another prominent article in this month's Technic is "Elementary The- ory of the Gas Producer" by Prof. W. L. Badger of the chemical engineering department. Lumber Pile Blase Extinguished A lumber pile in the yard of a res- idence on the corner of South State and Granger streets caught 'fire yes- terday afternoon, and gained consid- erable headway before it was extingu- ished by the city fire department. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cane Selected y Senior Li Class The cane committee of the senior literary class has selected cane No. 1962 at the Wadham State street store as the official stick of the 1918 class. The committee, seeing all the sam- ples in the various stores on the cam- pus, made its selection because of the lightness and distinctiveness of this cane. The stick is different from any other ever chosen for a senior class. Since it takes several weeks to se- cure the canes after the order has been placed, it is imperative that all senior fits make arrangements at once for their canes. The price' is $2.50, half of which must be paid when the stick is ordered, the balance being paid upon delivery. Carl Bay, Arcade jeweler, who en- graved most of the canes last year, will also place the names and class upon all sticks purchased from Wad- ham for the senior literary class. An additional expense of approximately 20 cents is added for the engraving. Few senior sits have placed their orders for caps and gowns, and George Keyer and George Moe, who have the class order, are anxious to sign up the rest of the men before spring vacation. Some misunder- standing was caused by a notice in The Daily yesterday regarding the payment of a dollar down upon order. No money is deposited until the caps and gowns are delivered, when $3.50 is paid, one dollar of which is refund- ed when the caps and gowns are re- turned. Robert Patterson will collect dues from the members of the class Friday in University hall. NURSES' TRAINING TO BE ADVOCATED Nurses'.training for college women= will be the subject of an address by Mrs. John Wood Blodgett of Grand Rapids, this morning at Hill auditor- ium.
