Text Books Widely Used; Has
Varied Career in Me-
chanical Work
Had
Prof. John R. Allen, head of the me-
chanical engineering department, an-
nounced yesterday that he has ac-
cepted the offer tendered him by the
University of Minnesota to become
deaniofsthe engineering college of
that school, to take effect the begin-
ning of the coming school year.
In thL departure of Professor Al-
len, Michigan loses one of its oldest
and most noted professors, he,,having
been a member of the faculty for 21
years, and an international authority
on heating and ventilating problems.
His text books are the most widely
used of any dealing with these sub-
jects.
Well Known
' Particularly is he well known for
his efforts in determining the effect of
paint on heating surfaces. During the
past year he has also contributed val-
uable knowledge on the subject of heat
transmission through pipe coils.
Professor Allen has written widely
on engineering subjects. His most
popular book written in collaboration
with Prof. S. A. Bursley bears the
title, "Heat Engines," and is used in
75 colleges and universities. Another
is "Notes on Heating and Ventilating."
Many of his addresses before scientific
societies have been translated into
foreign languages.
After graduating from the Univer-
sity in 1896 in mechanical engineering
he spent two years as secretary of the
L. K. Comstock company at Chicago
and two years more as consulting en-
gineer with the Brush & Allen com-
pany of the same city. . He then ac-
cepted a position as instructor in me-
chanical engineering department here.
Goes to Turkey
In 1911, Professor Allen went to
Turkey as dean of Roberts college at
Constantinople, returning in 1913 to
again take over the position of head of
the mechanical engineering depart-
ment.
He is a member of the Michigan En-
gineei ng society. the American So-
ciety of Heating and Ventilating En-
gingers, the British Institute of Heat-
ing and Ventilating Engineers, Ameri-
can Society- of Mechanical Engineers,
and the Society for the Promotion of
Engineering Education. He is also an
honorary member of the American So-
iety of Stationary Engineers and the,
rational District Heating association.
With due respect to the nation's
fallen heroes, Ann Arbor will cele-
brate Memorial day tomorrow.
In the morning impressive services
will be held at Wall street bridge
shortly before 11 o'clock. The Wom-
en's Relief corps assisted by the chil-
dren of the city schools and members
of the Welch post No. 137, department
of Michigan, will assemble to do honor
to the sailor-soldier dead. Autos will
be in readiness at the courthouse at
10:45 o'clock to carry those who desire
to take part in the services. Walter
H. Jackson, the post's buglar, will
accompany the corps.
Public memorial exercises will take
place at 2:15 o'clock in Hill auditor-
ium. The various patriotic societies
and the members of the G. A. R. will
form at the front of the auditorium
and will march in a body to their seats.
Invocation will be given by the Rev.
Arthur W. Stalker, ex-Mayor William
Walz will read General Logan's first
memorial order, after which a short
talk by President Harry B. Hutchins
will be given. Lincoln's Gettysburg
address will be rea by Gustave Sodt.
The music, which will be comprised of
patriotic numbers, will be under the
direction of Prof. A. A. Stanley. A
salute by Company I will conclude the
program.
TROOPS FROM APANI TO
GUARD RUSSIAN BORDER
SEPARATE PEACE AND TEUTONIC
INVASION OF CHINA ARE
FEARED
Washington, May 28.-The dispatch
of Japanese troops in large forces to
the Russian front is apparently the
next big move in the world war, the
United Press learned late today from
high authorities. .
Fearing separate Russian peace
with Germany, Japanese leaders are
taking this course to save Asia from
German agression, was the declara-
tion. The informant is high in diplo-
matic circles here, and stated that
since little is known of .Russian affairs
one thought stands uppermost, that
Japanese armies must aid in maintain-
ing Russian battle. as the only course
to keep the Teutons out of China.
It is explained that, while the Jap-
anese soldiers are conscripted for the
primary object of defense, public senti-
ment would sanction sending troops to
distant foreign service in such a cause,
the object being "to thwart the ulti-
mate invasion of China and the orient."

VIOLINIST PLAYED
FOR SECOND RECITAL
Charles Peters of Hillsdale Presented
Varied and Interesting Pro-
gram Last Evening
The second graduation recital of the
season was given last evening in
Frieze Memorial hall by Charles Con-
way Peters of Hillsdale.
Mr. Peters is a young violinist with
a splendid musical and technical
equipment. With a large tone and one
of pleasing quality, his interpretations
are intelligent and artistic. His play-
ing last evening was somewhat uncer-
tain at first, but, as the uneasiness
wore away, the tone became more
sure.
Mr Peters' program was varied and
interesting, Fibich's "Poem," Bur-
leigh's "Indian Snake Dance," and
Vieuxtemps' "Ballade and Polonaise,
Op: 38" being perhaps the most pleas-
ing numbers played. Miss Genevieve
Seyler of this city acted a saccom-
panist and played in her usual artistic
manner.
Swimming and Canoe Contests with
Many Other Aquatic Events
on Program
FEATURES ARE MARATHON AND
COOK-BERRY CANOE CLASSIC
Interclass Canoe Struggle Expected to
Furnish Keen Competition
Among Racers
Swimming and canoe races, feature
contests and other aquatic events will
all be on the program of the Univer-
sity of Michigan Boat club's fifth an-
nual regatta which will be staged on
the Huron just above the boathouse
next Saturday afternoon.
The efforts of the club bids well to
supply the crowning event in spring
sports and to effectively break the lull
in University activities which the
cancellation of intercollegiate athletics
has caused.
A 25-mile marathon beginning at
Lakeland sometime Friday afternoon
and ending at the boathouse during
the events will probably be one
of the main features while the Cook-
Berry canoe classic between teams
representing the two women's dorma-
tories which the committee is arrang-
ing for at the present time, will attract
no little attention. In line with this
there will be the comic crab races
in which the contestants will paddle
from the bow of the canoe instead of
from the stern.
Interelass Race
Another event which now promises
to create unusual interest and be the
one in which the most competition
will be displayed is the interclass race
between teams representing all the
classes in the University. Each team
will consist of four men, two pad-
dling on either side of the canoe.
The first division of the afternoon's
card will consist of a 500-foot single
canoe race, a 500-foot 'double, a 500-
foot mixed, a 1,000-foot double. 1,000-
foot fours, and the feature races.
Swimming Races
The swimming races will consist of
a 10-yard dash, 100-yard swim, 150-
yard breast, 420-yard swim, fancy div-
ing, leaders for distance and other
carnival events.
Due to the short time now before
the regatta will be held the commit-
tee in charge of entries strongly urges
all those who intend to enter to do so
'as soon as possible. A big list in each
event is desired in order to make the
afternoon's program complete. Ar-
rangements have already been made
in the engineering college for each
class to select the men to represent
it in the interclass contest. The class
officers in the other colleges are urged
to get their men together and pick
out a team to represent their respec-
tive classes.
Entries
Entries for any or all of the con-
tests can be made at the following
places: Huston's, the Union, boat-
house, Ferry field clubhouse, the reg-
istrar's office or from any of the com-
mittee chairmen.
The men who have charge of this
year's regatta are as follows: Gen-
eral chairman, Waldo McKee, '18E;
N. J. Brazell, '18E, and Byron W. Mal-
froid, '19M, as assistants, and A. L.
Kirkpatrick, '18, as secretary. The
chairmen of the sub-committees are
Luther Beach, '18E, programs; Robert
Patterson, '18, arrangements; N. J.
Brazell, '1SE, judges and prizes; H. A.
Knowlson, '18E, canoe events; Waldo
McKee, 'SE, swimming and diving;
K. L. Wehmeyer, '18, publicity, and L.
A Glover, '18, finance.
The program will fill the whole aft-
ernoon. Decorations and other pro-
visions will be attended to by the com-
mittee and nothing left undone which
will promote the success of the re-

ARREST EIGHT IN A4NTI-
DRAFT PLOT IN DETROITI
Burglars entered the Phi Delta Chi
fraternity house at 1005 Lincoln street
yesterday morning between the hours
of 1 and 5 o'clock. robbing the mem-
bers of $150 in cash and three gold
watches valued at $150.
Residents of the house were sleep-
ing in the dormitory and were un-
aware of their losses until they pre-
pared to go to their morning classes.
The robber or robbers must have
gained entrance to the building by
climbing in at a second story window,
as all of the windows and doors on the
first floor were found unopened the
morning follwing the robbery.
It is believed that the thieves took
a ladder from a garage, which is un-
der construction on the lot adjoining
the fraternity, and climbed to one of
the second story windows, which had
been left unlocked, where they gained
easy access to the entire lower part
of the house. No trace of the rob-
bers has been gained.

ITALIANS ADVANCE ON CARSO
RIVER AND CAPTURE CANNONS
Rome, May 28.-Although hindered
by bad weather, Italian troops never-
theless extended and strengthened
their position on the Carso in the
Timavo salient, across the river to
San Giocanni, and captured a strong
series of positions east and south of
Jacuaur, official statements announced
today. Two big cannons were cap-
tured.
Two violent attacks around Vodice
and the heights to the east by the
enemy were repulsed. Around a hill
south of Giosigna the Austrians at-
tacked and penetrated the Italian
lines, but a counter attack drove them
back. the Italians retaining 156 pris-
oners.
John 1). Buys $15,000,000 of Bonds

CONSPIRACY
Detroit, May 28.-Mason L. Welch,
editor of a Michigan socialist paper,
was arrested this afternoon by fed-
eral authorities on the charge of con-
spiracy to interfere, with military reg-
istration.
handbills Say, "Kill the Draft"
The total arrests in the anti-draft
plot nipped by police here todayr
reached eight late this afternoon. The1
specific offense for which they were
held was distributing handbills bear-l
ing the caption "Kill the Draft." and

to that end for June 3. .
Circulars which urged workmen noti
to register are alleged to have been
issued by the Detroit local of the so-
cialist party.
"Law Seeks to Enslave Workmen"
"It is better to be thrust into jail!
than to comply with a law which seeks
to enslave workmen" the circulars de-
clared, after asserting that the United
States plunged into war in the inter-
est of the capitalist class.
Pamphlets cited the thirteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, providing against slav-
ery or involuntary servitude, in justi-
fication of the anti-draft movement.
LIBERTY LOAN DAY
iTO BE HELD SUNDAY
Plan to Buy Bonds Through Saving in
Order to Keep Finances -
Sound
Money from economic saving and
not that drawn from the banks is ex-
pected to be used in the purchase of
the liberty loan bonds. This method
has been adopted universally through-
out the United States in order not to
precipitate the finances of the country
into a chaotic state.
Bonds can be obtained by the partial
payment plan whereby the purchaser
pays $10 down and the remainder by
$2 payments. The bonds pay a three
and one-half per cent interest.
"Liberty loan" day will take place
in the churches of Ann Arbor Sunday.
A meeting of all the ministers will be
held at 1:30 o'clock today at the city
Y. M. C. A.

Reduce Amount for Insect Eradication
Washington, May 28. - By two
amendments late today, the senate re-
duced the appropriation of $4,500,000
for the eradication of food and animal
insects and diseases to $825,000.
London, May 28.-One hundred thou-
sand Americans on the fighting line,
construction of 3,500 war planes, and
the training -of 6,000 aviators-these
are some of the plans for immediate
aid to the allies which America is
formulating, according to a statement
issued today.
The 100,000 men include Americans
already in the fight, it stated. One
hundred thousand American positions
are presumably also included in the
list.
Official statement detailed at length
steps in co-operation which the United
States has taken since declaring war
on Germany.
The information was cabled to the
American embassy by the state de-
partment at Washington, and was
given out by the press bureau at the
request of the embassy.
Announce Character of Force
Washington, May 28.-The 100,000
Americans on the fighting line in
France mentioned in today's London
official announcement will be divided
practically as follows: Estimated 40,-
000 already fighting with French, Brit-
ish, and Canadian contingents; 10,000
doctors, 10,000 engineers, about 30,000
with General Pershing's forces, and
10 000 unclassified.
The United States cannot furnish
immediately 3,500 war planes and 6,000
aviators. Planes can be constructed
in this country in the course of some
months, but military experts say it
will take six months to do it.
The war department said the Bri-
ish estimate does not include any
forces already announced as going.
TOASTMASTERS TO HOLD FINAL
