Deans to Decide Credit No information regarding the ex- act conditions of credit or require- ments for taking examinations were given out last night.

Those who are not selected will be listed in relative order of mer- it as alternates, who will take the places of the cadets failing to attend the camp. "Students authorized by the profes- sor of military science and tactics to attend this camp will report in person to the commanding officer, Fort Sher- idan, Ill., early on June 3," states a memorandum issued by the military authorities yesterday afternoon. "They will be allowed three and one-half cents a mile from Ann Arbor, or from their homes, to the camp, and mile- age at the rate of three and one-half cents a mile from the camp, after the completion of the course, to their homes within the limits of the United States."

The applications will receive the im- mediate attention of Lieutnant Mul- len, and the announcement of the ca- dets who are to attend the camp will BEGIN INTENSIVE WAR STAMP DRIVE With the accountingiof the third Liberty Loan all over with, the Wash- tenaw War Preparedness board is now determined to put the county over the top in the war savings and thrift stamp campaign. An intensive drive is planned for the coming week. During the past week, a number of open air meetings were held at which a considerable amount of stamps were sold. The Varsity band was present at the meeting held Saturday night at the county court house to help boost the sales. Cer- tificates to the amount of $126.17 were sold at that time. From May 6 to 11 the stamp sale took a decided jump at the local post- office,, having reached the sum of $982.54 which is about the best record that has been made since the ppening of the campaign. The most encourag- ing part of the drive is that many of the latest investers in these "baby bonds" are people who have not been buying stamps before, according to Mr. F. Sanzi, assistant postmaster of Ann Arbor. Miss Mary Sullivan, who is in charge of the war savings and thrift stamp accounting at the postoffice, express- ed herself as being very optimistic with regard to the results of the cam- paign so far. WILL CANVASSCOUNTY IN RIO CROSS DR/E LOCAL QUOTA SET AT $30,000; VOLUNTEER SUBSCRIPTIONS SOLICITED Plans have been completed by the Washtenaw county war preparedness board for raising the county's quota of $30,000 for the American Red Cross. The campaign to secure this money by house to house canvass will be con- ducted from .May 20 to May 27 throughout the county. Because of the fact that the people who will be required to go out to col- lect this money must do so at the cost of their own time and energy, it is expected "that most patriotic peo- ple will consider it a pleasure to re- lieve their friends of the extra bur- den of calling on them for their sub- scriptions." May Volunteer It is therefore planned that all per- sons who desire to volunteer their sub- scriptions may do so on May 21, 22, and 23, in school houses in each dis- trict. Since all who volunteer their subscriptions will be considered as having met the wishes of the war pre- paredness board in full, a suitable badge has been prepared for such con- tributors to wear during the days of the Red Cross campaign. An attrac- tive window card will also be present- ed to each volunteer. Plan Demonstration Plans for a monstrous demonstra- tion are now under way for the open- ing of the campaign. There are to be a number of booths- throughout the city for the first few days for volun- teers, the entire work of canvassing being under the supervision of mem- bers of the war preparedness commit- tee. Mr. Herbert Tenny has been placed at the head of the parade for the day, and is planning to make it a decided success. WOME INEEDED TO HELP WITH WAR WORK AMONG DEPENDENTS Women are wanted to assist with the relief work in the dependent fami- lies of sailors and soldiers in service. The work will require special train- ing and such training may be secur- ed either at the Institute under the auspices of the Central division of the Red Cross which will be held in Mil- waukee June 25 to August 2. The first two weeks will be devoted to presentation of the broader princi- ples and general problems; the four following weeps to specific courses, with case work under an experienced instructor. Those- interested may ob- tain information from Dr. J. L. Gillen, American Red Cross, 180 North Wa- bash avenue, Chicago, Ill. A summer session course will also be held at the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy June 19 to July 26, which offers a course on problems of Social Work in War Tme. PLANS MADE-FOR FRESH-SOPH TILT. R. T. cDonald 'S, and A. W. Boyd, '18, To Instill Pep at Class Meetings WEIGHING IN FOR TUG-OF- WAR BEGINS TODAY AT GUI Relay Races and Cane Spree Also to Be held; Rope Contest Re- places Pushball Rules of the spring games to be held Friday afternoon and Saturday morning will be explained at meet- ings of the underclassmen to be held on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Robert T. McDonald, '18, will be the pep instiller for the freshmen at their meeting on Wednesday night, and Alan W. Boyd, '18, will act in the same capacity at the sophomore gathering on Thursday night. Both meetings will be held in the amphitheater of the Physics building. Captains for the teams, which will take part in the games, will be elected at these meet- ings. The games will consist of the usual tug-of-war and relay races but as announced before, the pushball con- test has been replaced by a rope con- test. In addition, the cane spree which was omitted last fall will take place. Classify According to Weight Weighing in for the tug-of-war will begin today from 3 to 4 o'clock in the locker room of Waterman gym- nasium and will be held each day at that time until the day of the contest. The entrants will be classified ac- cording to weight. The lightweight contestants must weigh less than 135 pounds, the middleweights less than 160 pounds,'and the heavyweights will include all weighing over 160 pounds. Three Tug-of-War Teams The Student council urges all sopho- mores and freshmen to be weighed as soon as possible, so that the teams may be chosen Thursday night. Each of the three tug-of-war teams will con- sist of 20 men from each of the under- classes. The relay teams will be com- posed of 10 men each and 20 from each class will take part in the cane spree. Giving Time Over 'PhonehIsStopped "Time, please," will no longer be a familiar question over the wire. From now on, at least until after the end of the war, the winding of the clock at night will become more im- portant than ever before, because the Michigan State Telephone company has found it necessary to discontinue giving the time of the day. "There are thousands of calls a day for the time," said Mr. Kelly, man- ager of the company, "and the handl- ing of these calls requires, for the entire state, a large corps of opera- tors. With the demand and need for workers increasing so rapidly, non-es- sential features that have heretofore been permitted over the telephone now become a waste, and there can be no justification for continuing any such features that requires a large number of people. "If the calls for the time are dis- continued, more operators are avail- able to handle bona fide connections. Furthermore, the percentage of work- ers required by the telephone company will be reduced proportionately so that all other lines of endeavor requiring the same class of help are benefited to a certain extent. The individual is being called upon to carry . his bundles home and do a number of little things that heretofore have been done for him. Looking at his clock is one of these little services that he can perform himself and thereby help the general situation greatly." COLUMBIA DEFICIT PREVENTS AWARD OF 12 FELLOWSHIPS New York, May 13.--Twelve fellow- ships valued at $650 each will not be awarded by Columbia university this year, it was announced recently. The reason assigned was "the treasury is depleted by losses 'of hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition fees from students who have enlisted." The endowed and annual fellowships, however, were awarded as usual. STRACCIARI ILL BREAKS CNTRACT Baritone Suffers From Appendiciis; Substitute to be Announced Later ALL-AMERICAN- CAST TO SING "THE BEATITUDES" THURSDAY Matzenauer, Martinelli, Middleton, de Luca, and Sharlow Will Sing in "Carmen" Riccardo Stracciari, the Italian bari- tone who was to have sung at tomor- row's concert of the May Festival in Hill auditorium, will be unable to ap- pear owing to an attack of appendici- tis. He is in the Waldorf hospital in New York. Arrangements are being made to procure a substitute, who will be announced later. The war,iwhich touches everything, will have its effect on the Festival. A choral union flag of 52 stars will be displayed at all concerts and each program will include patriotic selec- tions. Will Sing "America" Before the beginning of the formal concert Wednesday evening Fred- derick Stock will lead the orchestra, chorus, and audience in the singing of "America." In the same program, Margarete Matzenauer and Stracciari's substitute will sing arias and songs. Thursday evening, Cesar Franck's beautiful oratorio, "The Beatitudes," will give its initial An Arbor perfor- mance. The work will be given by an all-American cast, composed of: Miss Lois Marjorie Johnston, Detroit so- prano; Miss Emma Roberts, mezzo soprano; Miss Nora Crane Hunt, con- tralto; Paul Althouse, tenor; Arthur Middleton, baritone; Bernard Fergu- son, baritone; James Hamilton, tenor; Odra Ottis Patton, tenor; Robert Rich- ard Dieterle, baritone; Joel Thomas, Morgan, baritone.

Children's Chorus Sings At the Friday afternoon concert the children's chorus will contribute Ben- oit's "Into the World" and also "America" while Friday evening's program, in which Mme. Muzio will sing several arias, will be preceded by "The Star Spangled Banner." Joseph Bonnet, the eminent French organist, will give a recital Saturday afternoon on the Frieze Memorial or- gan consisting of a program from the forerunners of Bach down to works of Debussy and Cesar Franck. He will play also one of his own compo- sitions. This recital will be opened by the singing of patriotic songs lead by Earl V. Moore with accompani- ment by Mr. Bonnet. Present "Carmen" The performance of "Carmen" will be given Saturday evening, when the operatic stars, Matzenauer, Martinelli, de Luca, Middleton, and Sharlow, will be heard. As a fitting climax to the week of music, the audience, chorus, and orchestra will unite in a triumph- ant rendition of "America." The University Choral union, con- sisting of 300 voices from the Univer- sity and the School of Music, is one of the oldest organizations in the coun- try. "The Choral union is in splen- did shape," says Dr. A. A. Stanley. "Everybody is full of enthusiasm and waiting to deliver the goods." MIMES ELECT OFFICERS AND ,'ALL FOR OPERA SCENARIOS F. C. Bell, '19,was elected president, C. T. Hogan, '20E, vice-president, and C. J. Sullivan, '19E, secretary and treasurer, of the Mimes for the en- suing year at a meeting held last night in the Michigan Union. The meeting was almost entirly de- voted to the discussion of a book for the 1919 Union opera, and it was strongly urged that prospective writ- ers submit scenarios at an early date. A strong plot, about which to build the production, is urged by the Mimes.' Members of the organization believe that there is sufficient talent on the campus for the writing of the opera. A meeting will be held at 7:30 o'- clock next Wednesday night at theE Michigan Union for the prospective writers. Suggestions and Informa- tion concerning the work will be given out at this meeting. DEMAND FOR WOMEN BARRISTERS GROWS That women are beginning, and probably will continue, to play an i- portant part in the law profession, is a belief that is rapidly gaining strength in legal circles. "We are daily receiving requests for men," says Prof. E. C. Goddard, of the law school," which we are unable to fill on account of the small number of graduates this year. Many valua- ble practices and libraries are offered for sale by men leaving to answer the draft, and we are continually asked by offices in which we have placed men before, for graduates who will pro- bably be exempted from service. I "A consequence of the demand for grauates not subject to call for mili- tary duty is certain to present an ex- cellent opportunity for women in the profession. That women are consid- ering the legal profession more gen- erally than heretofore is indicated.by the number of inquiries concerning the law school which we receive." There is a marked tendency toward increased salariesdas a result of the shortage of trained men, although many offices show an unwillingness to meet it. That the pecuniary attrac- tiveness of the profession will proba- bly be increased seems to be evidenced by the fact that the close of the war will probably find this country, for the first time in its history, facing a shortage of lawyers.- CONFER CITIZENSHIP N 123U37 AIMENS IN RMY CANDIDATES MAY APPEAR BEFORE SPECIAL COURTS ADJACENT TO CAMPS Washington, May 13.-In co-opera- tion with the army general staff, the naturalization bureau of the depart- ment of labor set in motion today closely prepared plans to secure the speedy enforcement of the act ap- proved by President Wilson Saturday by which almost immediately will con- fer citizenship upon 123,377 aliens now in the national army, in addition to many thousands in civil life. Fail to Apply Through neglect or ignorance of the terms of old naturalization law, many aliens now classed as enemies failed to complete application before the United States court closed the doors to further proceedingslunder that law. Now those who meet the test will be permitted to acquire their citizenship papers. The provost general's figures show that in the first draft 467,703 aliens were called and of these 70,067' were certified for service. Examine Candidates Notice of the change of the law has been sent to commanding offices of all army cantonments and camps, and trained examiners are being sent from the bureau of naturalization to 'can- tonments and camps to examine the candidates and instruct them how to proceed. Arrangements have also been made to hold special terms of court adjacent to the camps and can- tonments before which the army can- didates can appear. Examine Each Case Civilians, eligible for citizenship, un- der the terms of the new act, are ex- pected to make applications to the clerks of courts to complete their pa- pers. Such applications will be cer- tified to the bureau of naturalization which has allowed 90 days to examine each case before the courts act. GOVERNMENT NEEDS MEN TO SERVE IN COMMERCE BUR.EAU Washington, May 13.-The govern- ment is- looking for high caliber men with foreign trade experience to serve as commercial attaches for the bureau' of foreign and domestic commerce, according to a recent announcement of the department of commerce.
