WOLVERINES ENTER
CHAMPIONSHIP MEET
New York, May 14.-Seventeen col-
leges and universities have entered'
teams for the annual track and field
championship games, of the inter-col-
legiate amateur athletic association, to
be held on May 31 and June 1, at
Franklin field, Philadelphia, Penn.
The list closed on Saturday.
A surprise was the entry of a team
from' the University of Michigan,
which recently rejoined the western
conference league, and will compete
in the Big Ten gamed on June 8 in
the middle west. The Wolverines
have a small group of high class per-
formers, and should the points be
well distributed at Franklin field,
Michigan may succeed in winning the
championship in the what probably
will be her final appearance in Eas-
tern college athletics for some sea-
sons.

Washington, May 14.-Twenty-four
states, and the District of Columbus,
were called upon tonight by Provost
Marshal General Crowder to furnish
the national army 61,600 more men
qualified for general military service.
A movement of drafted members,
under this call, is to extend under two
periods, from May 20 to 24, and from
May 29 to June 2. These dates were
fixed, because during the five days,
beginning may 25, approximately
223,000 men, called for recently, will
be moving to the camps.
In all, 284,600 men will be journey-
Ing from their homes to military
camps between May 20 and June 2
Including numerous calls for techni-
cal and specially qualified men, the
total number, summoned during May,
is something light 366.600-men. Near-
ly half of the 800,000 are expected to
be called this year.
The camps selected for'the regis-
trants, affected by. tonight's order, are
not all national army camps, showing
that men are to be sent wherever
room may be found for them.
The states drawn upon, and the
camps assigned them, do not include
Michigan or an assignment to Camp
Custer. .
140'MICHIGAN WOMEN OFFER
SERVICES FOR FARM WORK
The "back to the farm" idea as a
substitute for frivolous vacations is
increasing in popularity every day
among Michigan women.
Miss Alice Evans reports more than
140 applications, 66 of which have
been accepted so fa .
It is expected that more definite in-
formation concerning places of em-
ployment, and detailed outlines of the
work, which is to come from Lansing
this week with a special committee,.
will be effective in securing more "re-
cruits."
Miss Helen Frazer, the noted Eng-
lish war-worker, is also an enthu-
siastic supporter of this branch of
service, and will devote part of her
lecture next Monday morning to a
thorough treatment o its various as-
pects.--
100 Forestry Students Serve In France
"Nearly 100 former forestry students
are now serving the colors and a
large number of them are in France,"'
said Prof. Filibert Roth, head of the
forestry department, yesterday, "There
are at present only thirty students left
in the department as all of the seniors
and most of the juniors have left."
Professor Roth said that although
the forestry students were given the
opportunity to join the forestry divi-
sion of the engineering reserve corps
that none of them did so as most of
those eligible preferred to go into
service immediately.
"It would be mere guess work to
predict how many students will enter
the department next year," Professor
Roth stated, "but twice as many en-
tered last fall as did In 1916." The to-
tal number of Freshman foresters

ATHENA LITERAY SOCIETY
PLANS FOR "LIBERTY" CONCERT
Plans for the "Liberty" contest
were discussed at a meeting of the
Athena literary society Monday' night
in Mason hall. It was decided that,
in order to stimulate interest among
the members, topics of war propa-
ganda would be discussed in the reg-
ular meetings of the society.
A brief resume of Russia's position
in regard to the present war, was pre-
sented by Ida Mines, '20, at this meet-
ing, and extemporaneous discussions
on this subject were -given by other
members.
The election of oratorical board offi-
cers which will be held Saturday
morning was brought before the sb-
ciety as an event which should be
given particular consideration by wo-
men of the University interested in
oratorical activities.

POLICEMAN BIT BY MAD DOG
DECLARED OUT OF DANGER
The Ann Arbor policeman who was
bitten by a mad dog which he at-
tempted to capture last Wednesday is
reported to be out of danger from
hydrophobia. The dog was shot im-
mediately afterward and the remains
taken to the Pasteur institute at the
Medical building where a positive
diagnosis of hydrophobia was made.
The injuries sustained by the officer
were slight and he recived prompt
treatment.
The diagnosis necessitated the rec-
ent order of the police department
that no dogs shall be allowed to run
loose in thestreets.
The dog came from the country
north of Ann Arbor and is reported
to have bitten several other dogs
before he reached the city limits.
Merchants to Have Dollar Day
The merchants of Ann Arbor have
selected Thursday, May 23, as dollar
day. This day will be of unusual in-
terest to some who are looking for
real bargains.
Dollar day has come to be very pop-
ular with the public, because it real-
izes that the merchants are not try-
ing to unload upon them, unseason-
able or undesirable merchandise. Ev-
ery merchant will try to give his
customers the greatest possible value
for a dollar, upon this day. A greater
supply of those articles for which
there will be a larger demand have
been placed in stock. Every merchant
who took part in the last dollar day,
will participate in the sale.
Mrs. Raymond Wafer Dies at Hospital

RAISE QUOTA OF
$13,000
The University is counted upon to
do its part in raising Ann Arbor's
quota of $13,000 for the American Red
Cross.
The drive is to be distinguished from
other campaigns owing to the system
of voluntary contributions which has
been decided upon. The first three
days of the campaign, May 21, 22, and
23, will be used entirely for voluntary
subscriptions. For that purpose, five
booths are to be erected on the cam-
pus, to be under the supervision of
University girls. A booth will be
placed at each corner of the campus,
and one in the neighborhood of the
flag pole.
Large Contributions Not Expected
Large contributions are not expec-
ted from the individual student, ac-
cording to men in charge of the drive,
a dollar a student would be a splendid
showing for the University. However,
large subscriptions are being planned
by some of the societies in the Uni-
versity, and the School of Music,
which would otherwise be expended
for spring entertainments, group pho-
tographs, dance favors, and flowers.
The big feature that will launch
the campaign is the Red Cross parade
on Tuesday, May 21, in which most
organizations of the city are expected
to take part. Plans are being made
to include the army mechanics men,
the R. o. T. C., and the University
band in the parade. The work of re-
ceiving contributions will start im-
mediately after the parade. -
Money to be War Fund
Contributions made during this
campaign do not include Red Cross
membership. The money raised will
be used entirely as a war fund. It is
to be sent to the Red Cross headquar-
ters in Europe, and then disposed of
in the manner seen fit by them. Here-
tofore the money raised for the Red
Cross was used for local needs, but
this is to be used wholly for imme-
diate needs of the men in service.
Abner Larned to Speak
Abner Larned, one of the men who
was on the Tuscania when it was
torpedoed by a U-boat, has been secur-
ed to delived an addres on the even-
ing of May 17 in Ann Arbor. He is
known as one of the foremost orators
of the United States, and he is now
general chairman of the drive in De-
troit.
Dents to Enter Service June 1
Several seniors and Juniors of the
dental reserve have received noti-
fication from Washington that they
will be called into service June 1st or
possibly earlier. They will be dental
assistants., with the rank of privates
until examinations for commissions
are held. The news has thrown these
classes into some excitement due to
the fact that final examinations do
not begin until June 10. The faculty
is expected to make some provision
* in University hall to all seniors
* bringing their receipts for them.
* This will be the only opportunity
* for literary seniors to procure
* their invitations and they are
* therefore advised by the commit-
* tee to make sure of getting them
* on that day.
* Senior lit invitations have ar- *
* rived and will be distributed from *
