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. MILITARY NEWS TFiERS 4 IAR PHONE 1 101 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. With College 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.

The films were manu- factured and released by the govern- ment. They showed the various du- ties of the soldier from the time he enters a cantonment camp until he is ready to be sent overseas. A lecture on the real conditions of the war will be given to the cadets at 8 o'clock Saturday night in Hill. auditorium by Colonel Atten, of - the 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.
