THE MICHIGAN DAILY . OUTLiNE SERVICE FOR WOMEN DURING WAR MISS SALLIE SIMPSON TELLS WHAT AMERICAN WOMEN MUST DO "For God, for country, and for home," is the slogan for service which should be adopted by Michigan women according to Miss Sallie Simpson of New York, member of the National League for Women's Service, who spoke yesterday afternoon at the mass meeting for women in Hill auditor- ium. "Besides the more dramatic work of nursing and of making surgical dress- slngs," said Miss Simpson, "there will be certain social, economic, and in- dustrial emergencies arising from the war, which must be met by the women of America'"' Regarding the actual service work to be done, based upon a survey of what women have done in England, Miss Simpson outlined in the field of social service the work of safe-guard- ing girls in towns where there are military camps, and of maintaining day nurseries so that women can fill in vacant places caused by men en- listing. That women must conserve food in the home, and that they must assist in the cultivation of the soil was as- serted by Miss Simpson to be of prime importance. Among other things that she suggested for women to do now are to learn wireless telegraphy, how to drive a car, signaling, and map reading. Miss Helen Bacon, chairman of the Detroit commission for industrial serv- ice for women, spoke on what women may do in filling business vacancies in Detroit.' That women will be opening a way for themselves in business in the fu- ture by helping to maintain a stable economic condition now, was stated by Miss Bacon in the course of her address. She summarized the work of the industrial commission in pre- paring a standard for working condi- tions, and in recruiting women for temporary or permanent positions in the industrial field. President Harry B. Hutchins pre- sided at the meeting, and Mr. Francis M. Bacon told about the work of the local branch of the intercollegiate in- telligence bureau. AMBULNCE VOLUNTEERS TOLD OF REQUIREMENTS MEN HOLD FIRST MEETING AT UNION; EXAMINED SOON The men who have signed up to join one of the government ambulance units which are being formed here had their first meeting at the Union last night. Nearly the whole 120 were out. Dr. Louis P. Hall of the dental col- lege, chairman of the local ambulance committee, had charge of the meeting and explained by reading letters from his son, who is at present in the am- bulance service in France, just what the duties of the ambulance worker are. "You will be called upon to go out at all times of the day and night, over all kinds of wads and in all kinds of weather," he said in concluding his talk. Dr. H. H. Cummings of the health service, in speaking of the physical examinations said thit they would be essentially the same as those used for entrance to the army. He said that no one need apply who is less than five feet four inches tall or who weighs less than 120 pounds. The physical examinations will be iade at the health service at the fol- lowing hours: Saturday from 2 to 4 o'clock, Sunday from 10 to 12 o'clock, and the next three days between 2 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The committee received a telegram from Washington last night which stated that the regular enlistment and examination of the individual candi- dates will be held here at the Uni- versity. Enlistments will not be held before the first of next week. All men who are accepted will have to be vaccinated against both small- pox and typhoid fever. The health service will do the vaccinating in both cases free of charge, but each indi- vidual must furnish his own typhoid V.ccine.

In "The Victors" That Michigan's musical offerings are also acceptable to the outside world is shown in an excerpt from a letter just received by Registrar Ar- thur G. Hall from Prof. Edgar Ewing Brandon of Miami university at Ox- ford, 0. He writes: "I have read at various times about a Michigan song called "The Victors" and the statement that it has gone across the waters to the allied armies, through our ambulance boys, I sup- pose. We would like very much at Mi- ami to know about it, and the professor of music has asked me to find out if possible where it is published. Can you give me the name of the pub- lisher ?"

Ohio Sehools Dismiss Men for U.S. Work Universities in the state of Ohio now bold a unique, position in the educational world, following a recent action advocated by Governor James M. Cox. All men students at Ohio State uni- versity, Ohio university, and at Miami university, with the exception of juniors and seniors in certain special colleges, have been dismissed for the remainder of the year. Governor Cox asserted that the closing of the schools was an act of patriotism, and a sacri- ice necessitated by the exigencies of war. According to him, this will give the opportunity to teachers and stu- dents of working on the farm, in the factory, and in other branches of the national service. Some light may possibly be shed on the situation at Miami university by a letter just received by Registrar Arthur G. Hall from Prof. Edgar Ew- ing Brandon, vice-president of the uni- versity, dean of the senior college, and head of the department of French. Professor Ewing writes: "You will probably read in the pa- per about our scholastic revolutions in connection with the war; how first the men were urged to go to agricul- tural and other necessary employment, and finally today how that, on the re- quest of the governor, all men have been forced to leave and take up agri- cultural or other work in connection with the national defense. The result is that for the next few weeks Oxford will have three girls' colleges." Naval Militiamen to Get Sweaters Compaiy I and the University naval militia are to be provided with sleeve- less sweaters knit by Ann Arbor wom- en, if the plans of the Red Cross knit- ting committee go through. It is aimed to make the sweaters for the naval militia as soon as possible, and! to hurry along the work for Company I, so that tltey will have the articles by October. tkerinan Torpedo Rott Reported Sunk Amsterdam, May 17. - A German torpedo boat was sunk by a mine or torpedo Wednesday evening north of Schiermonaikog, according to word re- ceived here today. 'e'lE ATIIIC AL 31AN SPEAKS MEETING, TELLING OF PRO LEMS At the meeting of Masques, honorary dramatic society, Wednesday night, the following women were elected to memi- bership: Beatrice Failes, '18; Eva Herzberg, '19; Ethel Glanz.

"Most people wish the theater to express their methods of life and ask or answer their questions," said Mr. Morris Brown in an address before the society. Mr. Brown is a member of The Little Theater company of Chi- cago. "The character of the theater after Ibsen was its ti-uthfulness," the speak- er continued. "but lately that has not been considered sufficient. The mod- ern theater-goer wants reality, but he also wants delight and beauty. Up to a few years ago, the influence of the American people upon their drama was almost negligible." Mr. Brown con- demned the common practice of wait- ing until a play has been withdrawn from the stage. and th'en writing the managers that many people have not seen it and asking that it be produced for their benefit.

MASQUES ELECT WOMEN TO DRAMATIC SOCIETY FO0"D COMMITTEE ADVISES PLANTINGS OF EVERY AT ians: to Offer Credit to Farmers for P11rchasing of Seeds Lansing, May 17.-In the campaign of increased food production, which is vital to the success of the nation's cause, the Michigan food preparedness committee is advising every Michigan farmer to plant every acre of available land. The committee has secured accurate information from a number of the banks throughout the rural districts of the state and in almost all instances the banks have sufficient funds to ex- tend the necessary credit to the farm- ers to secure such seeds as they may require for increased plantings.

Agree onI Convention to Devise System for Governing Ireland London, May 17.-Irish nationalists today formally voted, rejecting premier Lloyd-George's plan for the petition of Ulster in the settlement of the Irish home rule question. They agreed, however, to adopt the premier's suggestion for a convention of 'Irishmen of all parties to devise a system of government for the island. As nationalist and unionist party members met to debate the govern- ment's scheme, the impression gained ground that the government has now s-icceeded in transferring the problem to Ireland itself. "One of the suggested solutions," said a high official, "would put de- cision squarely up to the Irish faction themselves. The idea that the gov- ernment is still seeking to evade set- tlement is wrong. The government will now accept anything to which Ireland itself agrees."
