c n vessel carrying a cargo destined
L)r Switzerland has been tropedoed
and sunk in the Mediterranean today.

Dean John R. Effinger and Regis-
trar Arthur G. Hall have endorsed the
work of the club in the following
statements:
"Hill auditorium should be crowded
for the Glee club concert, May 25. As
this is to be a joint benefit, the pro-
ceeds to be divided between the local
Red Cross association and the Glee
club itself, popular interest in the en-
tertainment should be especially keen.
The Red Cross certainly deserves sup-
port and the Glee club has done good
work for the University this year
which deserves substantial apprecia-
tion.
"JOHN R. EFFINGER."
"The University Glee and Mandolin
clubs are to be congratulated on the
real service they have rendered to the
campus and the University during re-
cent years. By their loyal and gener-
ous contributions to the interests and
welfare of University life they have
won the hearty and lasting apprecia-
tion and support of both officers and
students. They will receive this same
hearty response to this latest occasion,
on which a share of the proceeds are
to be given to so worthy a cause as
the Red Cross.

SENATOR DEFENDS
WILSON'S SPEECH
Answers. Critics of President's Recent
Address; Says Misappre-
hensions Must Stop
Washington, May 23.-In a remark-
able speech today, Senator Lewis of
Illinois replied to critics of President
Wilson's speech to the directors of the
American Red Cross, in which the
president said that this country has
no specific reasons for entering the
war.
"There has been great misappre-
hension as to what the president
meant," Lewis said. "I believe I may
say that he meant this country had
no one particular grievance, but did
have broad grounds in world democ-
racy and rights of mankind."
The senator later said that "If the
present misapprehensions were al-
lowed to continue, the government
would have difficulty in floating its
bonds and pursuing its military pro-
gram."
