Pershing's report of the gallant con-:
duct of American engineer troops
with the British fifth army in help-
ing check the German advance in the
early days of the great offensive,
reached the war department tonight.

HALF LOAN TOTAL
EXPECTED TONIGHT
Washington, April, 19.-The Third
Liberty Loan campaign will be half
over tomorrow, and indications are
th t half of the $3,000,000,000 mini-
mum total will be subscribed. The
total reported tonight here was $1,204,-
714, 250.
An encouraging element of- the
figures to date is the belief that many
millions have been pledged without
being secured, by these first payments,
and consequently have not been count-
ed by the banks.
Subscriptions by districts today in-
dicated a total of $199,446,200 for the
seventh Federal Reserve district of
Chicago, which includes Michigan.
President Wilson participated in a
Liberty Loan demonstration here to-
day by- riding through the White
House grounds in a British battle
tank. He burned his band badly, bu't
it was bandaged and the wound was.
said not to be serious.
Based on population the Chicago
district reports that Des Moines has
subscribed 15 per cent, Indianapolis
10 per cent, Saginaw 9 per cent, and
the entire district an average of five
and one-half per cent.
A quota of men from the Uni-
versity will be sent to the next
officers' reserve training camp to
be held at Camp Custer, accord-
ing to a telegram received last'
night from the war department
by President Harry B. Hutchins.
The telegram did not state how
many students would leave for
the camp. The war department
however, stated that instructions
have been iiailed. Full informa-
tion will be published, announced.
to the cadets, and posted on the

Women to Earn Bond Money

in which they are going to do this,
such as caring for children, tutoring
children, assisting their landlady,'
doing clerical and stenographic work,
etc.
These positions may be secured
through the office of the dean of
women. Those who have need of

WORLD TOO SMALL FOR U. S.
AND GERMAN FLAGS-McADOO
El Paso, Tex., April 19.--"There 'is
not enough room in this world for
the German flag and the American
flag, and we are going to make the
American flag fly over Berlin before
we get through," Secreta'ry McAdoo
said here yesterday.
"The railroads must operate 150 per
cent, for we are are not employees of
the railroad companies but of Uncle.
Sam," said Mr. McAdoo.
(By Russell Barnes)
A sparking comedy, convincingly
acted by talent that revealed itself
fully equal to the play's demands,
made the Comedy club's presentation
of "Miss Hobbs" last night, at the
Majestic theater, one of the best en-
joyed theatrical events of the year.
To Jean Maclennan, '19, if to any
single player, belongs the credit for
the excellent performance. Her Miss
Hobbs, with a dislike towards the
male sex, was spirited yet womanly,
and she interpreted the part with the
proper independence and verve.
John C. Carey, as Wolf Kingsearl,
was not letter perfect, but his inter-
pretation was convincing.
Gilbert R. Byrne, '19, in the part of
George Jessop, by means of a very ex-
pressive face and pair of legs, contri-
buted some very good comedy.
Nina Myers, '18,# as the aunt, gave
one of the best interpretations in the
performance.
Eva Herzberg, '19, Mrs. Percival
Kingsearl, was inclined to be a bit'
petulant, but withal her presentation
of the character was charming.
Richard A. Forsythe, '20, Percival
Kingsearl, worked very hard to put
his. character across, and merited his
success.
Warren H. Townsend , '18, who has
directed the rehearsals of the play,
is to be commended for the smooth-
ness of the production, and the almost
professional ease of the players, in-
dicative of careful coaching..
