"BE9lITUDES" SUNG ON
SECOND FESTIVI L NIGHT
CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA WELL
CONDUCTED BY DR.
STANLEY
(By Edna L. Apel)
"The Beatitudes," a poetical para-
phrase. of the Gospel, was given a
splendid rendition by the Choral union
and visiting artists in Hill auditorium
last evening.
The oratorio consists of an impres-
sive prologue and eight beatitudes.
The solo parts represent Christ.
Satan, the Angel of Death, the Angel
of Forgiveness, and the Holy Virgin.
The seventh Beatitude, the most
dramatic portion of the work, opening
with a brilliant and vehemently de-
clamatory air by Satan, was sung by
Arthur Middleton, whose voice is force-
ful with vibrant qualities.
Artists Pleasing
The rich, sonorous voice of Paul
Althouse was well adapted to the
strenuous tenor passages, and Ber-
nard Ferguson brought out a pleasing
depth of tone in his baritone solos.
Miss Lois Johnston was the Angel
of Forgiveness. Her voice is replete
with beautiful qualities, her tones
clear and true. Miss Emma Roberts
has a voice which sparkles with bril-
liancy. It was peculiarly fitted for the
"Mater Dolorosa."
The choruses and solo parts grew
more passionate and furious, the tend-
er voice of Christ trying to make it-
self heard above the chaos. Many
beautiful string quartet and tremolo
accompaniments and to this tremend-
ous climax, the celestial choruses
joining to bring the work to a close
with grand hosannas.
Dr. Stanley Exhibits Skill
Dr. A. A. Stanley exhibited skillful
conducting which might be likened to
that of Walter Damrosch because of
his dramatic force.
The first afternoon concert will oc-
cur at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
when Rudolph Ganz, the Swedish
pianist, will play Tschaikowsky's
"Concerto in B fiat minor." The
Children's chorus will sing Benoit's
"Into the World." There will be or-
chestral numbers by the Chicago
symphony.
Mme. Claudia Muzio, soprano, will
sing tonight, the Chicago symphony
also contributing to the program.
SENIORS ASSEMBLE FOR THIRD
SING AT BAND STAND TONIGHT
Seniors will again assemble tonight
in cap and gown for the third sing of

the year.
Inclement weather has made the at-
tendance at the first two sings small-
er than usual and with the promise of
a good day, a large number of '18
men and women are expected.
The sing will begin promptly at 7
o'clock at the bandstand for the bene-
fit of those wishing to leave to attend
the May festival concert.. Joe Palma,
'18, will lead the singing.

VULCANS INITIATE
ELEVEN ENGINEERS
Vulcans, honorary engineering so-
ciety, held its annual spring initiation

DETROIT WANTS 9 U. OF M..
GIRLS FOR SCHOOL GARDENERS
A number of University of Michigan
Iwomen are to have the opportunity of
becoming Urban "farmerettes" in De-
troit. Miss Agnes Wells, acting dean
of women, has received a call from the
recreation division of the garden de-
partment there, asking for nine girls to
report immediately as directors and
supervisors of the school gadens in
that city.
The girls who are to go will be
chosen from a large list of applicants
by a special committee from the liter-
ary faculty. Arrangements regarding
credit for the work missed during the
remainder of the semester must be
made before any definite contracts are
considered, but it is thought that for-
mulation of satisfactory plans will not
take long.

UNION CAMPAINS
FOR LIFE MEMBERS
$250,000 Must be Raised to Put New
Building in Condition For
War Service'
LIFE MEMBERSHIPS SET AT
$50 DURING PRESENT DRIVE
Liberty Bond to be Accepted as Full
Payment; Will be Treated
as Cash
In order to raise $250,000 to put the
new Union building in condition for
war service, a campaign will be
launched immediately to secure this
amount by life membership subscrip-
tions.
The drive will be conducted both on
the campus and among the alumni.
C. T. VanDusen, '19E, has been chosen
chairman of the campus committee,
which will open its campaign the week
of May 26.
It is planned that $25,000 will be
raised among the students, while the
remaining $225,000 is to be secured by
subscriptions from the alumni. The
latter will be reached through the
mails and by personal solicitors who
will begin their canvass about the
second week in June.
To Accept Liberty Bonds
Liberty bonds will be accepted as
full payment on life memberships.
Any one who has made one or two pay-
ments on his subscription may turn
in his Liberty bond, which will be
treated as cash.
Although the regular price of a life
membership is $100, by a special action
of the board of directors of the Union,
the secretary has been instructed to
enter, as of March 30, 1918, all mem-
bership subscriptions received during
the month of April, May, and June,
1918. By this arrangement, all men
eligible to membership who subscribe
$50 during this period, will be en-
titled to a life membership.
Little Difficult Expected
Union officials expect little difficulty
in raising the $250,00 necessary to
complete the Union sufficiently so
that it may be used as a barracks and
mess hall for 700, or more, army me-
chanics after Aug. 15, 1918. It is
thought that the alumni and students
will respond willingly and enthusias-
tically to the call for funds.
FEW STUDENTS EXPECTED AT
CAMP DAVIS THIS SUMMER
Only 30 or 35 students are expected
at Camp Davis this summer as com-
pared with 89 who attended last year,
according to Prof. C. T. Johnston, di-
rector of the camp.
"This number includes the civil en-
gineers in the reserve corps and a few
forestry students," professor Johnson
said. "We usually have five or six
students from the literary college,
but do not expect any this year."
Prof. L. J. Young, of the forestry
department, said that though only
three from his. department have thus
far signified their intention of at-
tending the camp, he believed that the
six members of the present sophomore
class would probably do so, as it is
required for graduation.

ety, held their spring initiation yes-
terday afternoon. Seventeen initiates

GERMNS "T'ERRORIZE"
FRENCH BY AIR RAIDS
DAVIDSON SAYS HUNS ATTEMPT
TO DESTROY MORALE OF
CIVILIANS
New York, May 16.-A German of-
fensive against the civilian population
of France was described today by
Henry Davidson on his return from
his 12,000 mile tour of inspection of
Red Cross work abroad. He comes
back to inaugurate the drive for $100,-
000,000.
"The outsanding feature of German
methods at the present time," he said,
"is the effort to terrorize women,
children, and'old men at home. 'While
the German troops are making their
drive on the front, airplanes are
bombing nearly every night towns be-
'hind the lines with the deliberate pur-
pose of terrorizing civilians.
"The purpose of this fight behind the
lines is to break down the morale of
the civilian population to such a point
that they will importune their govern-
ment for peace."

German Peace Proposals By
Accredited Persons
(By Associated Press)
Among the rugged peaks of the As-
iago plateau, east of the Brenta river,
the Italian front has again flamed in-
to violent action. The aggressive has
been taken by the Italians, and the
Austro-German forces, instead of
launching their assaults, have been
compelled to fight to maintain their
positions they have held since last
November.
Monte Assalone and Monte Pertica,
two heights -about three miles apart,
rising to the altitude of about 5,000
feet, have seen bitter fighting. The
Rome official statement says that the
Italians have entered the Austrian
trenches in two places.
Italians Take . Initiative
The fact that the Italian armies
have taken the initiative In the fight-
ing would seem to indicate that they
have sough to carry the fight to the
enemy in such a way to break up
any arrangement for the launching of
a Teutonic assault.
From Lake Garda to the Piave on
the Italian front, and to the sea, there
have been consoling engagements.
Heavy Artillery Fire
In Flanders and Picardy only heavy
artillery fire has marked the fighting
during the last few days. American
gunners have been at work in the
general bombardment that has been
going on. They have set buildings in
Montdidier in flames.
A raid on the Austrian naval base
at Pola has been made by Italian units,
and an Austrian battleship of 20,000
tons has been destroyed.
Soviets Call New Army
It has been announced from Wash-
ington that an official order has been
issued by the Soviet government of
Russia calling for the formation of an
army that will fight for the security
of the Rusian republic.
Arthur Balfour, British secretary
for foreign affairs, discussing in the
house of commons the famous letter
written by Emperor Charles, of Aus-
tria, to Prince Xixtus, of Bourbon,
,said that Great Britain is prepared
to consider proposals of peace from
the central powers provided they are
put forward by an accredited person
in a straightforward manner. He de-
clared that no offers thus far have
been made by Austria and Germany
that have been in the interest of a
fair and honorable peace.
