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.

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." r 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- (Continued on Page Six.)

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.
