NIVERSITY HELPS IN MAKING
DEMONSTRATION HUGE
SUCCESS
RENCH OFFICERS TAKE
PART IN MERCY MARCH
res. McKinney, of Ypsilanti Normal
College, Praises Work of Amer-
- ican Red Cross
(E. A. S.)
Ann Arbor witnessed one of the
eatest celebrations in 35 years yes-
rday, as the parade, two miles in
ngth, passed through the thronged
.reets, for the opening of the $13,000
rive for the American Red Cross.
Never before in the history of the
ty have so many persons taken part
. such a demonstration, and never
efore have so many spectators lined
.e streets to watch. "We have just
itnessed one of the greatest demon'-
,rations Ann Arbor has ever seen,"
atid Henry W. Douglas, chairman of
e county Red Cross, after the par-
Lieut. Williams Praises Cadets
Lieut. Losey J. Williams, s in com-
menting on the appearance of the
cadets in the parade, said, "They did
very well, and kept their step during
the entire march." The army me-
chanics, the cadet band, members of
the faculty, and the graduates and sen-
iors in their caps and gowns, added
greatly to the success of the demon-
stration. .
"We appreciate especially the sup-
port of the faculty and student body
of the University," said Mayor Ernst
M. Wurster yesterday. "Such an event,
cannot be successful without the sup-
port of everyone." The only celebra-
tion that ever equalled this one in
Ann Arbor, said Mayor Wurster, was a
large presidential campaign about 35
years ago.
Many Subscriptions Made
Throughout the entire parade, "Fill
the flag" was accepted as the slogan
with enthusiasm, and "buckets of
money" were received by the commit-
tee. The booths erected in the down
town sections have reported a num-
ber of large subscriptions, -aside from
the smaller ones, some amounting to
$300. It is generally expected by the
officials that the quota will be over-
subscribed before tomorrow night.
"I congratulate you for the splendid
parade, said President McKenny, of
the Ypsilanti Normal college, in his
patriotic address at the conclusion of
the parade, "not because of its beauty,
but because it typifies the grim deter-
mination of the people of Ann Arbor,
Washtenaw county, and the United
States. I appeal to you as father of
two sons who are preparing for ser-
vice now in France, to stand firmly for
victory."
Speaks for Great Institutions
"The Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A.
are the two greatest institutions today.
that are carrying the love from the
home to the boys at the front," con-
tinued President McKenny. "Fifty
thousand French babies are rocked to
sleep by the Red Cross, hundreds of
thousands of Belgian babies are now
in the care of the Red Cross, and hos-
pitals and wrecked homes are being
provided for by them. I need not ap-
peal to you for a moment to do your
share. I am already sure that you
have done it.
"We are, in the war to win a just
and lasting peace. Let us fight it out
for once and for all. The dead men
will have died in vain unless we carry
oui victory. We are here to make up
the morale for the country, for it is

New Brunswick, N. J., May 21. -
Joseph Daniels, secretary of the
navy, in an address at the Rector
college commencement today, said
"We are building ships, but we can
not build them in a day. But, before
another summer, we shall have
enough ships, not only to carry a
million troops to France, but millions
to France, and enough destroyers to
see them there in safety."
"We are going to get out the greatest
naval ship that is produced--destroy-
ers," the secretary continued. "We
have 300,000 men in the navy now.
We will have 400,000 soon. They are
enlisting so fast that we have to ask
them to stay home for a few days un-
til we can build new ships."
'The day may come,' said the sec-
retary, "when, if necessary, congress
may change the draft age limit. If
the men between 21 and 31 can not
win the war, then they will call on
the men from 16 to 18 to win the
war."

dance and a waltz known as "In the
Pines," while the songsters are go-
ing to give a number called a Nether-
land Folk song which begins with
very little volume and gradually ris-
es into a crescendo, enabling one to
almost see the country peasant folk

May 20, to concentrate forces for t

(According to a London dispatc
dated May 13, German prisoners, ca
tured in France, inferred that Fie
Mar,3hal von Hindenberg was dead,)
Striking viciously at the enemy
various points along the western b
tle Iront, meeting each outburst
German artillery with a thunder
cannon fire, and maintaining the mas
ery of the air in every sector, the arm
ies of the Entente Allies are prever
ing the Teutonic army from quiet

coming battle. With the passing
each day, new American legions a
constantly brought to the front, a
the Allies are finding satisfaction
the fact that the Germans have be
unable to launch a new blow in t
struggle which Berlin is expecting
be the decisive one of the war.
Austrians Win Important Ground
The attacks of the French, ne;
Locre, on the northern side of t
Lys salient, and of the Australians b
fore Amiens, now appear 'to have be
more successful than was at first r
ported. Near Locre the French ha
not ontly taken strongly fortifi4
trenches but have made secure the
lines on each side of Hill 44, whi
they recaptured recently. The Au
tralians have won ground of practic
importance along the Amiens secto
They have gained higher groun
which lends itself well to defensiv
tactics, and will be valuable when th
time comes for a stern battle there.
On the American front there ha
been the usual lively exchange of arti
lery, but no infantry fighting has o
curred. The same is true of the situa
tion in the Italian theater.
Turks Mutiny in Asia Minor
A report from Athens states tha
Turkish troops in Asia Minor hav
mutinied, and that a force has bee
sent to squell the disorder. It is sa
that there have been many desertion
from the Turkish government in town
along the Asia Minor coast.
Japan and China have come to a
understanding, relative to the carry
ing out of joint military operations :
Siberia. It was announced sometin
ago -that -these operations would be d
rected only to insuring the securit
of each country's interests in Man
churia, Mongolia, and the far east.
