During the past year the main hospital has -been housing from 30 to 50 children daily with virtually no facilities for their treatment. Plans have been drawn up in the drafting room of the building and grounds department for the unit. The building will be constructed next sum- mer by that department at a cost of $35,000. It will be a two story struc- ture with a basement and attic and will be located 30 feet east of the main unit of the hospital with which it will be connected by an under- ground passage. The exterior will re- semble the main building, being of pressed brick with a tile roof. Only theffirst and second floors will be completed next summer owing to the present high price of materials. ,Each of the two floors will contain a public ward which will accommodate 50 patients, and three private wards. Besides these wards there will be executive offices, examining rooms, and treatment rooms. When the base- ment and attic are finislied the latter will be a storeroom and the former will quarter the X-ray department. U.S. SHIP BUILDING BOOMED BY WAR "Since our entrance into the war, we have jumped from the third or fourth shipbuilding nation to the greatest ship constructors In the world," said Prof. H. C. Sadler, Wed- nesday morning, in his talk on the value of marine engineering, at the freshman engineers' assembly. "Up to the time of the war,,we were not turning out many ships in com- pariso with other great nations. After the beginning of hostilities, however, German ships weie interned, British ships were taken over for war service, and, in consequense, freight piled up in American ports for lack of the necessary tonnage to transport it abroad. Drastic steps were necessary to relieve the situation. The govern- ment took those steps'"with the result that, within a'few months, we will be building more ships in more shipyards than any other country has ever pos- .sessed. "When the war is over," concluded Professor Sadler, "we will be inde- pendent of other nations for our ship- ping. The government will not let us drop back into our former helpless conditions, and it is very likely that the thousands of merchant ships now un- der federal control will remain so dur- ing the period of commercial activity to follow."

(Continued from.Page One) for the subscriptions of the men under them. Mortarboard Leads in Women's Drive The work among the women stu- dents is much more encouraging. Their subscriptions for the first day totalled $1,950, which is a better fig- ure than that of the men, considering the percentage of women in the Uni- versity. The spirit of rivalry existing in this drive between Motarboard and Wyvern, women's senior and junior honorary societies, is believed to con- tribute a great deal toward the sale of bonds among th women. Yester- day's totals showed the Mortarboard team ahead of the opposing team, hav- ing reported subscriptions for $1,150, against $800 for Wyvren. The Mortar- board subscriptions include one $500 bond. The women's lieutenants are as fol- lowes: Mortarboard-Marian Wil- liams, Constance Winchell, and Valora Quinlan; Wyvren-Adda Arnold, Doris McDonald, and Gertrude Gunn. Heavy Subscription Expected Today The general attitude of the members of the campus committee is one of op- timism. A heavy subscription is ex- pected in today's reports with a more prompt response of the volunteers to their duties as members of the Wash- tenaw county War Preparedness board. The sum received yesterday already showed prospects of a large sale in that the men's total contain- ed a $1,000 bond from a student who bought a $100 bond during the second Loan drive. The city campaign closes at noon today. From all indications there will be an oversubscription of the bond quota for the city. At noon yester- day the committee reported $837,000 subscribed to, $31,000 more being needed to reach the minimum sum ask- ed by the government. The county sales totalled $1,442,450 at the last report. In addressing the open- meeting last night, Roscoe 0. Boistell, '12L, genieral organizer of the county com- mittee, said: "We are not after your ap- plause. What we want at the present time is your signatures to bond appli- cations as signs of good faith and loyalty to the government. If you mean well, sign your applications to- night." Professor Laird declared Germany to be against the Christ and against the Bible, saying that the allies were fighting for the; priciples of Jesus. He stated that his sympathies were with those schools and colleges that were discontinuing the study of Ger- man. "The study of the German lan- guage is merely another part of pro- German propaganda,' he said. "The teaching of this language is merely another scheme of the Kaiser's to ruin the morale of our people through the public schools. Such means must be fought with an iron hand. If there is anything of especial value in the German language It can be translated into English. As a war measure, however, the dropping of German from Universities curriculum should be approved of." U. S. NAVAL RESERVE IN NEED OF FIFTY MORE MEN Fifty students are wanted immedi- ately in the United States naval re- serves, according to Charles F. Lam- bert, ex-'19, who returned from De- troit last night to secure more re- cruits. The men will take physical examinations any time during the re- mainder of the week and the first part of next week. They will then be in- ducted immediately into the service and placed with the other 21 students already training on patrol boats op- erating near Detroit. "Men are wanted who are well quali-. fied physically, mentally, and mor- ally," said Charles Lambert last night. "The navy offers a wonderful oppor- tunity. It is the highest and best branch of the. service a man can join." All students who are interested can obtain further information by calling 131 up at noon today. After that time they are-requested to see Robert Grindley, '21. Ordnance Man Dies of Lung Diesase Charles Wood, a student in the ord- nance course, died during the spring vacation of empymia, a disease of the lungs developing from pneumonia or grippe. It was thought that be- cause there has been so much grippe in the University this spring that more of this disease would result. Dr. J. A. Wessinger, health officer, said last night, however, that this disease developed mostly in places of close association. There is much of it at Camp Custer. ATHLETIC POINTS GIVEN FOR WOMEN'S WILITARY MARCHING At the last meeting of the Women's Athletic association, the - members voted that one athletic point would be given to those who were in the elec- tive military marching class and the advanced aesthetic dancing class as a reward for their excellent. work in the gymnastic demonstration which was held before the Michigan State Schoolmasters Club in March. One honor point will also be given to those who enter the spring tennis tourna- ment. Anyone can enter as a contes- tant in the tournament. Many inex- perienced players are expected in the contest.
