PREDICTS IS SUCCESS

TONIGHT'S CAST TO INCLUDE
FOREMOST CAMPUS
TALENTI
"I think the play will be a distinct
success," said Prof. R. D. T. Hollis-
ter, of the oratory department, yes-
terday, who is the director of "The
Silver Box," the play to be present-
ed at 8 o'clock tonight in Tjniversity
hall.
"'The Silver Box' contains many
opportunities for good acting and the
cast takes advantage of every single
one of them. It is a modern prob-
lem play and tells a story that is
worth while hearing in these days."
Final dress rehearsal was held last
night in University hall and the
smoothness and speed with which the
different acts were gone through por-
tends an excellent presentation.

In commemoration of Italy's entrance into the war, a message from

meeting in Washington. As another great Austrian campaign against Italy
is impending, special significance is attached to the anniversary in official
and diplomatic circles.

Soon after Provost Marshal General
Crowder had promulgated a drastic
amendment to the selective service
regulation requiring every man of
draft age to work or fight, Secretary
Baker appeared before the house mil-
itary committee and asked President
Wilson to be authorized to call to the
colors all men of draft age who can
be equipped and trained. The com-
mittee unanimously voted the author-
ity into the army appropriation bill
which is about to be reported to the
house.
[A w Made "To Win the War"
Under existing laws, power is given
to draft 1,000,000 fighting men. This
limit soon will be reached, with men
constantly going into camp to replace
those sailing for France. When the
law changes, the man power of the
country will be drawn upon with
whatever force that may be necessary
to win the war.
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
regulations is far reaching, it is hoped,
and touches not only habitual idlers,
but also requires that draft regis-
trants, now in occupations held to be
non-essential, must seek new jobs, or
take their places in the army.
"Non.Useful Jobs" Hard Hit
Clerks, in stores, waiters, bartend-
ers, employees at places of amuse-
ment, passenger elevator men, and
other employees around hotels and
clubs, as well as gamblers and fortune
tellers will fall into this class. *
Quips of Spring
Feature Gargoyle
Very appropriately after the long,
cold winter, comes the May issue of
the Gargoyle with pleasant thoughts
of spring and the countless joys that
the gladdest season of the year brings.
"Flowers That Bloom in the Spring,"
is the title of a unique double page
illustration of the things that invar-
iably mak their appearance in Ann
Arbor and on the campus at this rest-
less period of the year.
Thus with humor that is suggestive
of the' freshness of spring, the Gargoyle
merry-makers jest of spring initia-
tions, how prohibition is working out
in Michigan, and the thoughts of uni-
versity man and woman as they canoe
together on the Huron river. The
opinions of a number of students upon
the fairness of the recent Phi Beta
Kappa elections have also been col-
lected for this issue.
There is another excellent illustra-
tion of how the R. 0. T. C. boys are
expected to conduct themselves when
they meet the Germans, most of whom
have already been chased out of the
picture by the members of the form-
er organization.

Dedication of the new Worden Con-

MAY ESTABLISH -SCHOOL
FOR MUNITION MEN HERE
HICHIGAN ANM MASSACHUSETTS
TECH CONSIDERED BY WAR
DEPARTMENT
Establishment of additional schools
to train inspectors for government
munitions factories is being consider-
ed by the war department, and there
is a possibility that one may be es-
tablished at Michigan. The Board of
Regents, to whom the matter has been
referred semi-officially, will probably
make a preliminary decision in re-
gards to the proposed school at its
next meeting.
Two Possible Establishments
' Prof. Walter L. Badger, assistant
professor in the chemical engineering
department, has received a communi-
cation from Major A. E. White, form-
erly of the department, but now with
the ordnance corps, in which the pos-
sible establishment of two training
schools for inspectors was mentioned.
Major White said in the letter that the
two schools being considered were the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and the University of Michigan. He ad-
vised the chemical engineering head
to lay the matter before the Board of
Regents, so that a possible estimate of
costs could be considered by that
body, should it wish to accept a train-
ing school contract.
Matter Before Regents
Professor Badger, in commenting on
the letter, said that the matter had
been laid before the Regents, but that
action awaited the Regents, meeting.
The chief difficulty in accepting such
a contract, were it offered to Mich-
igan, would be the question of secur-
ing suitable room and board accom-
modations for the men; The chemical
erngineering department, he said, has
a sufficiently large staff of instructors
to successfully carry out the teaching'
program. The possibility is that the
men who would take such a training
course would not be drafted or en-
listed men, but istead, civil service
employees.
Word has also been received from
Lieut.-Col. A. H. White, former head
of the chemical engineering depart-
ment, of the possible establishment of
training schools for munitions plant
inspectors. Lieutenant-Colonel White,
who is now in the ordnance depart-
ment, wrote that it would be en ex-
cellent plan fol- Michigan to attempt
to secure such a school.

AUSTRIA WILL CONDUCT
CONFERENCE WITR POLES
CENTRAL POWER MAY BE ASKED
TO GUARANTEE INTEGRITY
OF POLAND
Amsterdam, May 23.-Extremee im-
portance is attached to a conference
to be held next month between Baron
Burian, the Austro-Hungarian for-
eign minister, and the leaders of the
Polish party, regarding the future at-
titude of the Poles in the Austrian
parliament. The Polish members, it
is indicated, will lay down three con-
ditions.
The first condition is a guarantee
of the integrity of Poland. Second,
a demand for the settlement, accord-
ing to Polish decrees, of the question
of the province of Cholm, along the
Polish border, which was awarded to
the Ukraine in the Prest-Litovsk
treaty, and which Poland desires to
reclaim. The third condition is a
stipulation that Galicia shall not be
divided. Whether the Poles can be
induced to support the government,
or will definitely join the opposition,
will depend upon the outcome of the
conference over these questions.
