"Use no bread, crackers, pastry, or break- fast foods containing wheat. Stren- uous conservation measures must be put into effect by patriotic citizens in order to alleviate the problem of feed- ing the Allies until the next harvest." The administration urges that po- tatoes be consumed in larger quanti- ties. Thousands of bushels of pota- toes have been reported lying on Michigan farms, unused. In addition to this, physicians recommend pota- toes as a more nourishing substitute that the other articles used in the manufacture of bread. "Each load of potatoes sold now helps to send wheat across the seas and make the Kaiser mad," was the message recently flashed from the de- partment of agriculture in Washing- ton. "Potatoes are inexpensive and good wholesome food, and it is the duty of every householder to use them in as many ways as possible." In spite of the number of govern- ment regulations for the conservation of wheat, it is said that people are not observing the wheatless meals. The regulations call for all meals to be wheatless on Mondays and Wed- nesdays, and one wheatless meal on the other days. The fact that people of Ann Arbor are not familiar with these regulations is shown by the manner in which they have been dis- regarded.

Mah rs DEGREE RECOMMENDATION CABLED ANDREW VAN. LOPIK "Degree recommended" was the cable sent by Dean J. R. effinger to Lieut. Andrew Van Lopik, "Some- where in France," former member of the 1916 class of the University. At the meeting of the literary fa- culty Monday evening, Lieutenant Van Lopik was recommended for gradua- tion. This is the first time in the history of the University, and it is thought the first time in the history of any American universitly, that a student was notified by cable of his recommendation for graduation. His name will be presented to the board of regents at its next meeting, May 3, as candidate for - the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Lieutenant Van Lopik is a member of the Twenty-sixth Infantry, United States America, and is now stationed in the trenches. He was a student at the first officers' training camp at Fort Sheridan, and was afterward or- dered overseas, - having been there since September. His home is in Grand Haven. Dancing Friday and Saturday nights at the Armory.-Adv. 150 ALIEN, WOMEN TO REGISTER HERE Registration of female German aliens has been announced for Wash- tenaw county by the department of justice at Washington. According to instructions received by Mayor Ernest Wurster, the registra- tion will be conducted in the same manner as the recent registration of male German aliens. The date has not yet been set. It is estimated that approximately 150 women will be af- fected by this ruling in Ann Arbor. The letter in part reads, "The plan of the registration of the German alien women, who are estimated to be about the same in number as the German male aliens, will be substantially that followed in the registration of German males." Mayor Wurster informed the attor- ney general yesterday that the nec- essary instructions will be given to the chief of police, and that the work will be undertaken here upon receipt of further orders. MARRIED LIFE CO MENDED BY MRS, JULIET Vr STRAUSS "It is a pet idea of mine that the great majority of married couples love each other, sensational newspa- pers, putrid fiction and the divorce dockets to the contrary, notwithstand- ing." This is a characteristic expres- sion of Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss, lec- t urer and author, who will speak in Ann Arbor for the first tizau at 6:30 o'clock Sunday night before the Methodist guild. Mrs. Strauss first become known under the nome-de-plume of the "Country Contributer" in the Indian- apolis Journal. Since the publication of her lecture entitled "Where Mother, Gets Her Halo" which she will give Sunday night, she has been a regular contributor to the Ladies Home Jour- nal in the "Ideas of a Plain Country; Woman." War relics in the windows of the British recruiting office on Main street, have been attracting much no- tice from passers-by. Among the col- lection is a Boche saw-tooth bayonet taken from a German prisoner at Ypres in 1915, Sergeant Fox, who is in charge of the recruiting here, said that only certain regiments are equip- ped with "this pleasant little device." Parts of the first Zeppelin brought down in England, at Cuffley, are also shown, together with parts and "splinters" of shells and fuses. Two helmets, one of the old type used in the war, are being exhibited. A pair of shoes worn by Captain Baxter, of Detroit, for two weeks in the bat- tle of the Somme, are shown in the same condition as after the battle. Sergeant Fox has been for a few days, and purposes to give men the opportunity to avoid the coming draft by treaty betweet England, Canada, and the United States. A list of 119 British subjects in the vicinity, who will be affected by the proposed treaty between the countries, is in the hands of the men in charge. Friendly aliens, exclusive of Americans, will be re- ceived by the recruiting officers after proper physical examination. The Canadian tank corps is highly recommended to college men as an interesting branch of service by the Sergeant. No one but a college stu- dent is permitted to enter, and ac- cording to the men in charge, appoint- ment for high offices will inevitably folloM. Another interesting branch is said to be the Royal flying corps, but this is open to others thn eobilege students. Barristers Initiate 10 Junior Laws Barristers, senior law honorary so- ciety, will initiate 10 junior laws this afternoon at its annual spring initia- tion. The initiates are to stand for two hours with hands and heads in stocks, having been convicted of contempt of court, and contumely of the law. Dancing Friday and Saturday nights at the Armory.-Adv. By the Act of 1837, a tract of lan was set aside on whih to locate a university where the higher banches of education might be taught to those settling in the middle west. But be- fore work on the proposed buildings could be started, it was found neces- sary to select a body of men to act as the executive head, to manage the uni- versity fund, superintend all construc- tion, and secure a faculty of compe- tent men. Twelve regents were chosen for a term of four years, to undertake the task, their appointment coming through the power of the governor, approved by the state senate and a chancellor to act ex-officio in the ca- pacity of president. The committee was made a corporate body and could make all laws governing the affairs of the University. Members Were Politicians Many of the members were poli- tical men, who made this work secon- dary to politics, and subsequent events proved the lack of real ability on the part of some of the men. To avoid public criticism, several cleogymen were placed on the board. Without considering the cost, the committee had a New Haven architect draw plans for a central building, which if completed, would have used up most of the fund set aside for the maintenance of the college. But after much discussion, it was decided to erect a main building, with two dor- mitories , and four houses for the pro- fessors. As the University gradually increased in size, the two dormitor- ies were converted into recitation rooms, and are now known as the north and south wings of University Hall, while the houses of the profes- sors became places to take care of the surplus students. Powers of Board 'Increased With the elapse of time, the powers of the Board of Regents have increas- ed until they have the control of re- gulating all courses of study, appoint- ing the prescribed number of pro- fessors, regulating their salaries, granting degrees, and giving diplomas. Since the natal day of this execu- tive body, June 5, 1837, there have been more than 130 regents, many remaining in office more than one term, and although some were hardly a credit to their position, the majority of these have performed their work well without recompense. MI LITARY NEWS Make up drills will be held from 10 to 12 o'clock this morning in Water- man gymnasium. If the weather permits a hike will be held from 1:30 to 5 o'clock this afternoon. The cadets will form in front of Waterman gymnasium. A number of exchanged uniforms have arrived from the clothing manu- facturers. Comiencing Monday the cadets, who requested a change of size, may obtain the uniforms between the hours of 1 to 3 o'clock every after- noon, in the old band room in the Natural science building.

Instructions from Federal Food Administrator Prescott read in part: "Will you kindly instruet your chief of police to see that no chickens or live stock are permitted to run at large, and deal with those who wil- fully ignore your orders, to the full extent of the state laws and your lo .cal ordinances." In accordance to these instructions, Mayor Wurster announces that the rule in regard to chickens, dogs and other live stock will be strictly en- forced, and people who own chickens or animals of any kind, are warned to keep them confined. Police have re- ceived instructions to take rigid means to secure obedience. "The great need of the present is plenty of food, and all people must understand that nothing that can be prevented will be allowed to inter- fere with production, or to endanger the most perfect possible results of the war gardens which the people have planted, or may plant this season." Mayor Wurster said yesterday. COL. PACKA -NAYAL RECRUITING OFFICER Col. A. C.
