I- rSitr i an :43 at lx w DAY ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1918. PR: HILL . " STRIVE PASSAGE FORI iHY 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. 66 60 MEN TOL E FOR CAMPS BEFORE JUNE ows Heavy i1 Hun r in France, but import- Kemmel, ap- hands of the egan an as- and gained a at latest re- tenaciously French have s vigorously.

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."

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 Mrs.'Raymond Wafer died suddenly Sunday night at the Ann Arbor pri- vate hospital. She is survived by an infant daughter and her husband, Dr. Raymond F. Wafer of the psychia- try department of the University hos- ,U 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.
