me," said Professor Cross, in com-

the Liberty1
Loan drive is becoming more notice-
able as the end of the time limit set
for the campaign gradually approach-
es. Yesterday's sales among the stu-
dents were $1,450 less than on the
preceding day, making the situation
appear rather discouraging to the
University committee. The sales yes-
terday were the lowest since the cam-
pus- drive began.
The student quota of $45,000 still
lacks $19,900 of being raised.
An average of at least $2,000 a day
must be raised within the next 10
days, if the three-barred honor flag
is to fly on the campus. The amount
raised by the students during the sec-
ond Loan was three times the sum
asked for now, and the committee
feels that the students. ought, to do
their share by subscribing the quota
assigned them.
The team of John D. Hibbard, '18E,
is so far in the lead in the amount
raised among the men, with a total
of $5,300 to its credit. The other
teams have raised the following sums:
H. A. Knowlson, '18E, $4,100; Albert
E. Horne, '18, $3,400; F. H. Tinsman,
'18D, $2,750; Stephen S. Attwood, '18E,
$2,350. Miscellaneous subscriptions
among the men amount to $350.
The women's subscriptions total
$6,850, of which the Mortarboard team
raised $3,700, and the Wyvern team,
$3,150, the senior society still being
in the lead.
HE WOULD CERTAINLY ENLIST
IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE WARI
St. Paul, Minn., April 24.-The prize
package patriot has been discovered
here. Sergeant Carl Hauge of the
local United States marine recruiting'
force encountered him.'.'
"Don't you want to enlist?" the
sergeant asked him.
"No, I guess not."
"Why?"
"Well, it certainly isn't because I'm
not patriotic. Why, if it wasn't for
the war I'd have been in the service
long ago."
The sergeant was carried back to
the recruiting station in a coma. He
will recover.
British Sink German Destroyer
Berlin via. London, April 24.-In
the British naval raid Tuesday morn-
ing. on the German submarine bases
on the Belgian coast five cruisers,
three destroyers, and a number of
motor boats were sunk by the fire of
the coast batteries, the German ad-
miralty announces.
MILITARY AUTHORITIES TO
FORCE GOVERNMENT
ORDERS
EN.
The situation in the R. 0. T. C.
medical student squabble stood last
night with the military department of
the University prepared to enforce
the recent government war order from
Washington requiring all medical stu-
dents in the R. 0. T. C. course to make
up all back drills. Matters have be-
come more acute with the refusal of
the majority of the medical students
.involved in the squabble to recom-
mence their drilling.
. Prof. Frederick G. Novy, of the
Medical school, stated that he would
not excuse any medical students who
were members of his laboratory sec-
tions extending to 6 o'clock for the
he said, "and I shall not do it this
purpose of drilling in the R. 0. T. C.
"It has not been done in past years,"
he said, "and Ishall not do it this
year."
Lieut. William's View
Lieut. Losey J. Williams said in
regard to the protest of the medical
students against making up drills:
"The men in the medical school who
have enrolled in the R. 0. T. C. course
will be expected to make up drill
just as anyone else in the course.
Under general orders 49, the students
bf the different schools in the Uni-
versity who have enrolled in the
R. 0. T. C. are all treated alike.
No Man to. Be Excused
"No man in any of these schools
will be excused from attendance of
drills except for reasons of physical
disability or any sufficiently war-
ranted excuse because of illness or
similar reason. Any man in the medi-
cal school who fails to make up his
drill will be treated just as any other
man in any other school in the Uni-
versity who failed to attend drills."
Galens' Committee
A special committee, representing
Galens, upperclass medical honorary
society, has made the following re-
solutions at a special deliberation
meeting: "This society does not ask
that partiality be shown to the medi-
cal students enrolled in the R. 0. T. C.
If, according to general orders 49, no
man will be excused from attendance
of drills except for reasons of physi-
cal disability or any sufficiently war-
rantable excuse because of illness or
similar reason, and conflicts with
scholastic work are not considered

WILL PRESENT ERLY
FRENCH PLAS TONIGHT
CERCLE FRANCAIS PRODUCTIONSI
DATE FROM EIGHTEENTH
CENTURY
"Laugh, and the world laughs with
you,
Weep, and you weep alone."3
Sincerely believing in the efficacyc
of this old saying as a panacea for alli
the ills of the world, the Cercle Fran-
cias has gone back to the early eigh-
teenth century, finding there "Lel
Retour Imprevu" and "L'Avocat
Patelin," two comedies, which it has
prepared for presentation at 8 o'clock
tonight in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
How well fitted each of these plays
is to carry out the purpose for which
it has been selected can only bei
judged from the fact that one of themJ
comes from the pen of an author con-
sidered by many to be the leading
comic poet and playwright since the
time of Moliere, while the other is
claimed by some critics to be the best
of the earlier farces to which - thei
modern stage has fallen heir.
French Custom
Arrangements have been made to
follow out French custom as far asi
possible in the production. No orches-
tra will be employed, the opening of
the play being announced by the
usual three raps behind the scenery.
Man's place as an usher will be us-
urped by woman, this condition hav-
ing become quite common even in
America since the opening of the war.
French Officers to Attend
The French atmosphere will be
even further realized by the presencea
in the audience of eight or ten officers
from the land of the fleur-de-lis who'
are coming to Ann Arbor from Camp
Custer for the express purpose of
witnessing these plays.
Between the two performances,
lone A. Wilber, School of Music, lead-'
ing lady in this year's Union opera,
will sing "Menuet de Martini," a
shepherd song of the eighteenth cen-
tury, arranged by Weckerlin.

NAME CHAMP CLARK
TO SUCCEED STONE
Jefferson City, Mo., April 24.-Gov-
ernor Gardiner tonight tendered to
Champ Clark, speaker of the house of
representatives, the appointment as
senator to succeed the late William J
Stone.
Senator William J. Stone, chairman
of the committee on foreign relations,
died at Washington, Sunday, April
14, after a stroke of paralysis. He
was ill for five days.
Senator Stone first entered the Un-
ited States senate in 1903, where he
has served until his death. His pre-
sent term of office was to have ex-,
pired in 1921.
JUNIOR LITERARY CLASSES
TO NOMINATE COUNCILMEN
There will be an important meeting,
of the junior literary class at 4:15
o'clock this afternoon in the Univer-
sity Hall. The meeting is called for
the purpose of nominating student
council representatives, who will be
voted upon at the All-campus elections
to be held May 3.
Story of Spain Is
In New Inlander
"Inlander today?" Of course you
can borrow your roommate's copy, or
simply assume an air of tacit intellig-
ence, but everybody will be talking
about the April number of the Inland-
er when it appears on the campus
Friday morning. Do you know any-
thing about Spain and bull fighting
and toreadors and, well, Gehenna? If
not,- buy an Inlander. Professor
Schurz's article bears the genuine
label-"Made in Spain."
Furthermore, there is a one-act
play, "The Talisman," by F. S. Al-
roy, the campus Rabelais-the kind
that Sam Hume's players produce in
Detroit. You know everybody likes
them. The Henry James devotee will
find Marion Holden's "Reality," a de-
licious morsel of intellectual manna.
There is a further suggestion of man-
na in Hazel Fuller's "Good Samar-
itan," and perhaps, if one looks hard
enough, in Roy Fricken's potpourri
"On Collecting Things." Of poet lore
we have Muriel Babcock's "Carnival
Night," Mary E. Oakes' "Apollo," and
Margaret Cooley's "Reflections," on
smiles and other things.
WASHINGTON PAINTED ON RHINE,
NOT DELAWARE, SAYS CROSS
"The widely-known picture of Wash-
ington crossing the Delaware is really
a picture of Washington crossing the
Rhine," said Prof. Herbert R. Cross,
of the fine arts department, in an il-
lustrated lecture on "Washington and
Lincoln; Instruction of Painting" last
night in Alumni Memorial hall. "This
was occasioned by the fact that a
German artist was the painter of this
famous pose of the father of our
country, in the well-known Delaware
episode resulting in the drawing in of
the Rhine river into the background
of the picture instead of the Dela-
ware."
"The figure of Washington lends It-
self most readily to painting, while
Lincoln is more adapted to sculptural
work," stated Professor Cross. "Lin-
coln was the bane of artists, just as
he was the bane of tailors and 'other
small minded people," he said.
Lincoln Penny
Another point made by Professor
Cross was that the use of Lincoln's
figure on the Lincoln penny, the
smallest of. our coins, is illustrative
of the democratic spirit so charac-
teristic of him. Barnard's statue of
Lincoln to be found in Cincinnati, the
subject of so much are discussion to-,
day, was declared by the lecturer to
be one of the grandest and noblest
works of Lincoln, as well as of Ame-
rican art in genertl. A number of
lantern slides were shown.
