Lester E. Waterbury, '17, has been
appointed the managing editor of the
Inlander and John E. Campbell, '18,
the businessmanager, for the year
1917-18, according to Prof. F. N. Scott,
chairman of the board in control of
student publications, yesterday.
Waterbury was one of the associate
editors of the Inlander when it was
first revived in the spring of 1916.
Since then he has been a regular con-
tributor to the magazine. Campbell is
at present an assistant business man-
ager of The Daily.
Factions Prepare
for Deadly Battle
Owing to Strenuous Times, Formalities
Will Be Dispensed
With
Yesterday witnessed a great deple-
tion in the reserve supply of several
kinds of ammunition all around town.
Storekeepers seemed to be unable to
account for the rush until some kind-
ly person stepped forward with the in-
formation that this morning at 9:30
o'clock The Daily will meet the co-
workers of another campus publica-
tion in the annual baseball contest.
Both teams have reached a high de-
gree of efficiency of training (for
them). The crowd present is prom-
ised a home run thrill every inning.
The contest will be held on south
Ferry field under the auspices of
President Glenn M. Coulter of the
Union.
Owing to strenuous war times all
ceremony such as throwing out the
first ball by a governor, a mayor, or
any other high public official will be
dispensed with this year. Patriotic
celebrating will rather be the keynote.
Though not definitely decided upon
last night, peacemalers from the rival
camps hope to have reached a definite
decision for an appropriate sendoff
by this morning. Indications at a late
hour are that some one will start the
auspicious occasion by firing a can-
non, or possibly an imported 14-inch
gun.
This is not certain. It may be some
heavier object better adapted to such
times as the present.
MARRIED MEN WILL NOT BE
EXEMPT FROM CONSCRIPTION
Washington, May 29.-Married men
as a class will not be exempt from
draft in the new national army. It is
probable that married men who are
drafted will be relieved from military
service if they have families depend-
ent upon them, but merely because
they , are married they will not be
exempted.
"The act establishing the selective
draft," General Crowder said tonight,
"authorizes the president to excuse or
discharge from the draft those in a
status with respect to persons depend-
ent upon them for support which ren-
ders their exclusion or discharge ad-
visable. Only those whose dependents
must rely solely on them for support
should claim exemption, and, of course,
all married men between the ages of
21 and 30 inclusive must register."
INTERCOLLEGIATE PATRIOTIC
NIGHT TO BE HELD JUNE 1
Intercollegiate patriotic night, for
the purpose of considering what is be-
ing done towards organizing home
guards as authorized by the legisla-
ture, has been called for the night of
June 1 in Detroit. The meeting will
be held in the board of commerce
building and addressed by General
Harrah and others.
It is stated that the troops are to
be enlisted for the purpose of protect-
ing Detroit and its industrial plants
from mobs and fanatics after regular
troops have left for service.

COLEGE FURNISH 15011
FORMUACE ORPS
STUDENTS OF 32 UNIVERSITIESI
ASSEMBLED FOR EN.
LISTMENT
Washington, May 29.-The colleges
of the country have furnished 1.5001
picked men for the United States armyI
ambulance corps for service in France.4
The corps are organized in units ofI
36 men each for training near Phila-I
delphia. As soon as possible after
equipment is complete they will sail.
Students of 32 universities and col-
leges are assembled for enlistment.
Contingent organizations to meet the
need for medical service was pointed
out by members of the French com-
mission.
Upon arrival in France the various
ambulance units will be utilized byI
the French government until the ar-
rival of United States troops, and then
be turned over to the military forces
of the- United States. The total num-
ber to be enrolled in this corps is moreI
than 4,000.1
EXPENSES INCREASE
$900,000,000 Is Added to Government'sa
Expenditures
Washington, May 29.-The govern-!
ment's expenditures for the fiscal year1
thus far reached $1,600,000,000 today,
more than $900,000,000 in excess of1
last year's expenditure up to the pres-I
ent date, and a new high record in1
American history.
The chief item of the increase-
$607,500,000-was purchase of the ob-
ligations of foreign government in ex-
change for loans advanced to the al-
lies. The sum does not represent by
approximately $140,000,000 the total
amount authorized in loans. An in-
crease of approximately $245,000,000
in the ordinary disbursements of the
government, chiefly due to military
and naval needs, also is recorded. An-
other item going to swell the grand
total of expenditures was the payment
of $25,000,000 for purchase of the Dan-
ish West Indies.
Ordinary receipts also show an in-
crease of more than one-third com-
pared with last year, the total to date
being $818,000,000. The chief item of
increase is the income tax, payment
so far this year having reached the
total of $155,000,000, as compared with
$28,000,000 last year. Income tax re-
ceipts are flowing into the treasury
at the rate of nearly $4,500,000 a day.
CABINET UNION FAILS
Andrassy Unable to Bring Together
New Hungarian Ministry
Berlin, May 29.- Efforts to form
a coalition cabinet in Hungary have
failed, according to Vienna reports to-
day.
It is understood that Count Andras-
sy had been selected to succeed Count
Pisza in this task of forming the min-
istry, and had met with rebuttals in
attempting to unite all elements into
one cabinet.
The news is taken here to indicate
that Count Andrassy will be forced to
be content with the present state of
affairs, although Vienna dispatches
expressed hope that certain of Pisza's
followers would desert the former
premier.
Toll of Southern Tornado Increases
Memphis, May 29.-Revised reports
today from the sections of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Arkansas, and Alabama
swept by tornadoes Sunday place the
number of dead at 160, and the in-
jured at 550.
Southwestern Kentucky paid the
heaviest toll.
Property damage in Alabama is esti-
mated at $1,000,000. No accurate esti-
mate of the monetary loss in the other
states is available, wire communica-
tions being badly crippled.
County Fire Bells to Aid Conscription
Eugene, Ore., May 29.-The fire bells
of Lane county are to be used in con-
nection with the registration of men
under the selective conscription act
on the date to be proclaimed by Presi-
dent Wilson. It is planned to have the
bells sounded in this way hourly where
possible.
OF LIBERTY LON BONDS
INVENTOR WANTS CITIZENS OF
COUNTRY TO SERVE NATION
IN SOME WAY
Menlo Park, N. J., May 29.-With a
three days' stubble of white beard on
his face and with eyes tired from in-
cessant work for weeks, Thomas A.
Edison was coaxed out of his labora-
tory today, and made a statement urg-
ing his fellow countrymen to buy lib-
erty loan bonds.1
Need Spirit of Service
"The spirit of 1917 in America
should be a spirit of service," he de-
clared. "From the highest to the low-
est the uppermost idea should be how
we can serve our country. Some of
us are going to sacrifice our lives on
battle fields in France and on highj
seas, some of us are working night9
and day to solve scientific questions,
some of us expect to do our bit in farm
work or in factories. There is a place
for all of us if we but look for it with
patriotic eyes.
Pay What Citizenship Is Worth
"Pay what it is worth to you to be
American citizens. Figure it out cold-
blooded if you are built that way. Con-
sider what the country has meant to'
you and what it will mean to your
children and to humanity of the future
generation, and when you have
thought over these things, take your
pen in hand and do your bit for the
liberty loan. To buy a bond is to pay
the first premium on an insurance
policy against militarism, against fu-
ture wars and its horrors."
INLANDER APPEARS
Final Number of Magazine Meets
with Large Sale
Heralded as the most complete is-
sue of the year, the May number of
the Inlander met a ready sale yester-
day. The table of contents is ex-
ceptionally comprehensive and is typ-
ical of the standard which has been
set during the pat year.
The leading articles are both on
the same subject, "The University Next
Year." A woman student sets forth
her belief that the women will have
a great deal to do with the activ-
ities of the campus next year and that
their influence should prove of great
benefit to the men when they return
from the trenches. Her argument ie
met by Frank F. Nesbit, '17-'19L,
who believes that no radical trans-
formation of the University need be
expected.
Among the other contributions are:
"Space and Time," by a woman stu-
dent writing under the pseudnyom of
"Mary Langhorne"; "The Tie That
Bound," a story, by Helen G. Davis,
'17; "St. Martin's," a sketch, by Lucile
H. Quarry, 18; "Footprints and Foam,"
a prose poem by Isabel P. Snelgrove,
grad.; an .article on "The War Class
of '61", and several poems by Mr.
M. C. Wier, of the rhetoric depart-
ment, Mrs. Jane Harris Crane, and
Lester E. Waterbury, '17.
There are a few copies of the mag-
azine still on sale in the bookstores.
Discover Old Fort in Indiana
Gary, Ind., May 29.-An old fort, 450
by 420 feet, has been found in Porter
county, Indiana, five miles southwest
of Gary. The fort is similar to the
earthworks now used to fortify the
permanent camps back of European
battlefields, but is at least 150 years
old. Blockhouses at the four corners,
four foot embankments with perpen-
dicular, drained trenches on the inside,
form the chief features.
Dean Bates Goes to New York City

ing a program for the session of the

financial circles today.

Teuton Influences
Washington, May 29.--A campaign
by German propagandists to allign
South and Central American countries
against the United States was exposed
by the state department today.
In three South American republics
--Argentina, Venezuela, and Colombia
--the propaganda has assumed menac-
ing proportions.
In Brazil activities of propagandists
have proveda boomerang culminating
in the chamber of deputies voting
overwhelmingly to revoke the declara-
tion of neutrality for the declaration
of war on Germany by Brazil.
Argentina has become a hotbed of
pro-German and anti-American propa-
ganda, according to the information.
'Ihe aim of these propagandists brand-
ed by the state departmentais an effort
to create an irritation against this
country.
Plots Handled by Cable
There is evidence that the propa-
ganda has been conducted directly
from Berlin by use of the cable from
Spain to Buenos Aires. The govern-
ment of Argentina had no part in en-
couraging this propaganda, it was
stated.
German firms in Argentina have
been the agents of the Berlin govern-
ment in stirring up anti-American
feeling in that country, it was official-
ly declared.
May Be Clue to Destroyer News
No official would say that this cable
provided the means by which the news
of the departure of American de-
stroyers reached Berlin in time to
permit mining the port before their
arrival. but it was accepted as a clue
to the leak.
An inquiry, by the United States, of
the Argentine government to learn the
facts concerning the reported embargo
on shipment of Argentine wheat to the
allies was distorted by these propa-
gand4sts into an attempt by the United
States to dictate Argentine policies, it
was declared.
Feeling Strong in Columbia
In Colombia, the anti-American feel-
ing that has existed since the separa-
tion of Panema has been fanned great-
ly by the pro-Germans. A constant
effort has been made by the kaiser's
agents since the United States dec-
1 aration c°war to keep the Colombians
stirred up.
In Venezuela, the program has been
to revive the bitter feeling that existed
in the days of Castro's power. As in
Colombia the efforts have been exerted
not at the government but at the peo-
pne.
Chle has repulsed these German in-
fluencs. Indications now point to her.
e. .nen_ into the war with Brazil
against Germany. It is expected this
step will have a sobering influence
upon the other South American coun-
tries.
Be!iev +panisl Ships Aid Germans
Buenos Aires, May 29.-Belief that
Spanish ships clearing from Buenos
Aires have acted as supply bases for
submarines raiding allied commerce
off the Spanish coast, was increased
this afternoon by numerous'dispatches.
The Spanish steamer Leo XIII is
reported to have been taken to Likar
by the British recently and forced to
unload explosives and submarine air
apparatus.
Violent Storm Holds Train Stationary
Charleston, Ill., May 29.-The Char-
leston Courier prints the following:
"The force of the wind is indicated
in the experience of a Big Four south-
western limited, westbound, which en-
countered the storm between Charles-.
ton and Mattoon. So terrific was the
velocity of the wind that the train
remained stationary for. a while, al-
though the engineer had the throttle
open."
