Forty acres of the Edison company'
woods on the west bank of the Huron
river were burned last Sunday by a
fire started by two students. The fire
burnt out all of the undergrowth,
killing many young trees without do-
ing much damage, however, to the
older trees. Two other students say
they saw two persons, whom they later
recognized as students, spread' the
fire through the woods by means of
lighted brush. Later it is said, the
same two rowed to the other side of
the river and started another fire but
it was put out and the two students
were warned against doing it again.
Prof. L. J. Young, who has super-
vision of the Forestry farm and the
Edison company's wooded lands
around Ann Arbor, stated-that the
names of the students who started the
fire are known but will not be made
public until it is decided what action
will be taken against them.
"This is the fourth fire which has
occured in near by wood lots this
spring," said Professor Young, "and
drastic action must be taken to stop
it. The other fires were thought to
have been started accidentally, but
after the discovery in connection with
last Sunday's fire we are suspicious
of the origin of the former ones." )

About 150 tons of steel were put
into place, during the vacation and
the week preceding it, according to
S estimates made by the contractors.
Concrete work on the-1ourth floor

Practically all of the senior class-'

engineering are to leave Ann Arborl
early tomorrow morning for a two-
days' stay at Camp Custer as guests
of the 310th engineers and their com-
mander, Col. W. G. Caples. One hun-,
dred engineers will make the trip,

Rifle Range Damaged During Vacation

More than 10 nationalities were
represented on the annual spring trip
of the Cosmopolitan club this year.
About 25 members left Ann Arbor
Tuesday morning, April 9, for Detroit,
the first stop, where they visited the
Burrows Adding Machine plant and
the Parke Davis Co., chemical manu-
facturers. The club was entertained
at luncheon by' the former concern,
and while in Detroit stopped at the
Hotel Wayne.
Flint was visited Wednesday and a
tour was made of the Chevrolet, Dort,
and Buick automobile plants. The
party left Wednesday night for Sagi-
naw. Here they were entertained by
the Board of Commerce, and. were
present for the opening of the Liberty

In the morning, the boys donned
miners' togs and went down into the
Consolidated coal mines, and in th
afternoon they visited the Saginaw
Plate Glass Co., and the Jackson,
Church,-Wilcox Co., manufacturers of
automobile parts.
Visits were made to the Herzog Art
Furniture factory, the Michigan Blind
institute and the public school Fri-
day morning, and in the afternoon the
company left for Ann Arbor, arriving
here Friday evening. The visit of the
party to Saginaw was the subject of
an interesting editorial appearing in
one of that city's daily papers.
TO TELL TRUTH IS TO LIE MR.
BACHRACH TELLS JOURNALISTS
"The only way to tell the truth is to
lie," said Mr. A. C. Bachrach, instruc-
tor in ordnance, yesterday in his lec-
ture on "It Never Happened at All"
to students of journalism.
"This brings up the interesting par-
adox that unless a man correctly re-
produces his emotions or his reactions
to an event he is lying just as surely
as if he juggled facts.'
Mr. Bachrach went on to state that
in his estimation the journalist was a
true artist, for it is the function of
the newspaper man to help the aver-
age man to better interpret his ex-
perience.
"I demand that art help me, just as
food and drink help me in my attempt
to find a adequate life, and this is why
I believe that the newspaper is to be
classed with the highest of all artis-
tic productions since it affects the
lives of so many millions in such a
profound way.
"Artists must ,see relations between
facts that the average man does not
see and this is all we get from the
masters in all-artistic fields."

Protests Innocence
The French government started
Pasha's trial on February 4. Bolo
loudly asserted his innocence and even
wrote a letter to Premier Painleve
asking him to "finish the affair," de-
claring that he had been tortured for
eight months and that nothing had
been found against him. He was found
guilty and sentenced to be executed.
His execution marks the end of "Bolo-
ism" in France.
