MAY SIGN AT UNION
OR AT DAILY OFFICE
Attempt to Foster a Greater Spirit of
Honor Among Students
of.University
With the end of the semester in
sight the question of taking examina-
tions without faculty supervision has
again been raised on the campus. A
group of students, desiring to discover
the attitude of the undergraduates on
this question, has drawn up the fol-
lowing petition. All who wish to sign
it may do so at the Union or at The
Daly offices inthe AnniArbor Press
building, Maynard street.
In an attempt to foster a greater
spirit of honor among the students of
the University, and with the hope of
making that spirit felt by the faculty
and the people of the state, we have
signed this creed:
We believe-
(1) That Michigan has given up
something for which we owe a debt
of honor.
(2) That our class has an honor
spirit which we are in duty bound to
uphold.
(3) That we each as individuals
should preserve our self-respect and
honor.
(4) That our standards should not
be lowered by countenacing the giving
or receiving of aid by any individuals
among us.
(5) That one of the ways in which
we can fulfill our duty to our Uni-
versity, to class, and to ourselves is
to maintain a spirit of honor in exam-
inations as our conscience directs.

fully informed, for the Gargoyle im-

lege graduates.

By Robert Bender

Washington, May 21.-An over-
whelming desire to make the United
States dry, at least partially, de-
veloped in the senate today when food
control legislation came up for dis-
cussion. It met a flood of amendments
designed to cut everything in the way
of stimulants.
Many Amendments Offered
When the deluge passed, the senate
faced the following: An amendment
by Senator Jones, Washington, em-
powering President Wilson to com-
mandeer all intoxicating liquors in the
country, to be redistilled for use in
munitions manufacture; an amend-
ment by Senator Jones prohibiting the
use of grains and other food stuffs in
the manufacture of any intoxicants for
use other than the manufacture of mu-
nitions and mechanical devices and for
medicinal purposes; an amendment by
Cummins prohibiting the use of cereal
grains in the manufacture of intoxi-
cating beverages; an amendment by
Wadsworth of New York prohibiting
the use of foods in the manufacture'
of distilled spirits and establishing a
maximum of four per cent alcohol in
the manufacture of beers and wines,
and authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to stipulate the percentage of
alcohol in beers and liquors manufac-
tured in or imported into the United
States.
Senate Favors Prohibition
The senate displayed a tendency to
grant some form of war prohibition.
The drys are absolutely confident that
the manufacture of distilled liquors at
least will be stopped..

Italians Also Advance on
Austrians

With the British Armies in the Field,
May 21.-Field Marshal von Hinden-
burg is sending his shattered divisions
from the western front to the eastern
and northern battle lines, where they
are being reformed for a drive on
letrograd. Fresh divisions are being
shunted from the Russian front back
to face the French and English drives.
German prisoners revealed a two-
fold purpose behind "this plan. The
first objective is to force Russia into
a separate peace by taking additional
territory, and the second is to use the
gains on the eastern front as a lever
against the allies.
Germany's Eastern Line Thin
The eastern line is just now quite
thin and is being augmented by these
worn-out divisions from the west.
British headquarters estimated today
a total of 40 divisions (about 400,000
men) have been smashed since the
start of the offensive.
French Strike in Union with Haig

Bullecourt, the foundation of the
Oppy.Queant part of the Hindenburg
line. The French gains were all in
the Champagne district from Rheims
east to Auberive.
Singing Italians Push Forward
Rome, May 21.-Italian troops are
still pushing forward north of Gorizia.
They are climbing seemingly inacces-
sible hills, singing patriotic songs as
they advance. Numerous fresh Aus-
trian divisions from the Russian front

effort to stop their drive:

Rintelin, David Lamar, and H. B. Mar-
tin were each sentenced today to a
year in the Mercer county peni-
tentiary, Trenton, N. J., for attempting
to foment a strike in a munitions
plant.
The plea of von Rintelin that he be
interned as a military prisoner instead
of being imprisoned was denied by
Federal Judge Cushman, who held that
he had no jurisdiction.
Lamar addressed the court, point-
ing out his activities against the big
financial interests. He admitted that
this was selfish, but declared that he
had been converted to diffident beliefs
in 1908. He told the court that he in-
tended to carry on his work when he
regained freedom.
