"A drive eastward from Verdun
which would penetrate no further than
the present German offensive has al-
ready gone would bring the war at
once to an end," according to an ar-
ticle by Prof. W. 11. Hobbs, of tfie
geology department, which recently
appeared in the New York Times.
"This is easily proved and has been
admitted since March, 1916, by a de-
putation from six of the most power-
ful industridl and agrarian organiza-
tions of Germany," the article contin-
ues. it then calls attention to the
fact that the guns and ammunition,
which are the sinews of the war, de-
pend upon resources of iron and coal,
and that though Germany has enor-
mous coal resources it has no import-
ant iron deposits outside of Lorraine
and those in the northern part of
France which she now holds.
The near border of this great iron
district," says the article, "is scarcely
10 miles from the present battle front,
on the heights of the Meuse east of
Verdun, and the further edge is only
about 20 miles beyond."
hiowGermany protected this most
vulnerable slot is then explained. The
article tells how, 10 days before war
was declared with France, Germany
sent one whole army corps and part
of another to that part of the frontier,
and how on Aug. 2, two days before
the declaration of war, she occupied
the iron district of the neutral ter-
ritory of Luxemburg and of northern
France. France, under the handicap
Of the loss of most of her iron-pro-
ducing district, has been forced to
bring much of her iron from her col-
onies across the Mediterranean and
from other sources. Germany, how-
eveh, might be cut off from all fields
by axi Allied victory.

Ui S. NAVY IS TO TRAIN
ENGINEERING OFFICERS
SCHOOL IS OPEN TO PHYSICALLY
FIT 3EN BETWEEN 21
AND 31
Washington, May 22. - The United
States navy department has.perfected
plans for the enrollment and train-
ing of engineering officers. A school
for this training, known as the United
States navy steam engineering school,
has been established at the Stevens
Institute of Technology, Hoboken,
N. J.
The course as planned consists of
five months' training divided as fol-
lows:: One month of military train-
ing at the naval training camp, Pel-
ham Bay park, N. Y., one month at
the Navy steam engineering school,
two months' practical training on
board ships and in repair shops in
the vicinity of New York and one'
month finishing course at the engi-
nering school.
Age Limit 21 to 31
The school is open to men 21 and
30, who are physically qualified, of
thorough ability and officer-like char-
acter, and who have completed the
engineering course at any recogniz-
ed technical school. The service that
a graduate will perform will be that
of an engineer-officer in the auxil-
iary service of the navy. A graduate
of the school will be commissioned as
ensign in the naval reserve.
Information has been sent to all
registered technical schools to be on
file at the president's office. For any
additional details application can be
made to the Civilian Director, U. S.
Navy Engineering School, Stevens In-
stitute, Hoboken, N. J.
Second Class Rating
Any men, graduates or under-grad-
uates, who are registered in the draft
can enroll with the proper officer by
securing from the draft board a let-
ter of release which in all proba-
bility can be obtained for this pur-
pose, provided the men are not in-
cluded in the current draft quota.
Special provisio has been made
for the continuane of the school
with proper material by a navy regu-
lation which permits under-graduates
of the freshman, sopho more and ju-
nior classes in recognized engineer-
ical school faculties of the country at
a rating of seaman second class, and
continue their courses at the institu-
tions where they have matriculated.
Such men will be called into active
service after their graduation and can
at that time, if they are physically
qualified to pass an officer's physical
examination, enroll for the course at
the Steam Engineering school.

Contemorariges
The University of Iowa announces
six new scholarships in the College of
Law, the gift of the late Judge John
F. Dillon, one of the founders of the
law college. The scholarships are for
students entering the law school
from the University of Iowa and are
for $100 each.
Professor J. C. Hutchinson of the
Greek departnient of the University
of Minnesota has just finished com-
piling a book of popular patriotic
sons translated into Greek. The
original metre and tunes have been
retained to such an extent that
"Goodnight Ladi-es" sounds almost
the same in Greek as it does in Eng-
lish.
Professor (harles E. Lucke, dean
of the mecha ical engineering depart-
ment of Columbia University, urges
Columbia to forbid all activities not
the winning of the war or reconstruc-
tion afterwards, and proclaim itself
a War Service university. All else
should be subserved to the more nec-
essary work of winning the war and
every course not vital to this end
should be eliminated, the professor
urges.
The university senate of the Uni-
versity of Kansas at its last meeting
passed a rule forbidding the display
of any form of advertising bills or
cards on the campus.

so as president of the Chinese Stu-

cles to the Chinese students' quarter-
ly, which circulates in every Chinese:
college.
"Especially do we try to boost the
engineering college. This fact is iv-

Chinese students here at present are1
in that college. The prestige of Mich-l
igan is what has led us to come, and
we are attempting to induce more to
follow."
At present there are but four wom-

tudent The general plan of the Chinese
students here is to obtain as gener-

when they return to China, they will

auditorium. The films were manu-
factured and released by the govern-
ment. They showed the various du-

A lecture on the real conditions of

at 8 o'clock Saturday night in Hill.

British Army. Colonel Atten has seen
many months of active service at the
front and is capable of depicting ac-
tual conditions existing "over there."
The government has notified the
military authorities that he would
speak here, and since this is the first
time that a soldier of such a high
rank has ever appeared in Ann Arbor,
the crowd is expected to be large.
Cadets are not compelled to attend,
although credit will be given for at-
tendance. Three center sections in
the auditorium will be reserved for
the cadets and mechanics, while the
remainder of the house will be open
to the public.
