INSIST ON PEACE MADE BY

England Decides to Send Delegates to

By W. S. Forrest
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, June .- France insists that
there be no peace except that which
all her people shall make. The govern-
ment will not recognize the efforts of
any single party to arrange a success-
ful termination of the war.
Premier Ribot, so declared in the
chambe r of deputies today, answer-
ing socialists as to the government's
attitude on the international socialist
"peace" conference at Stockholm.
Ribot announced amid tremendous
cheering that France will shortly pub-
lish all secret treaties between Russia
and France-thus acquiescing to the
request of the Russian socialists.
Strikes Due to Labor Conditions
"We have no reason to doubt the
patriotism of the Russian govern-
ment," the premier asserted emphati-
cally. 't'urning to the present situa-
tion in France, Ribot declared that the
strikes now on were due solely to
labor and economic conditions, and
were in no way connected with the,
war.
England to Send Delegation
London, June 1.-England has de-
cided to send delegates to Petrograd to
confer with Russian socialists. This
committee is to stop at Stockholwn
enroute for possible consultation with
other socialists called by the Russian
and international peace conference.

Washington Center of Opposition Prop-
aganda; Make Several
Arrests
By Carl D. Groat
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, June 1.-Steps for the
holding in of leaders of nation-wide
antiregistration propaganda were cen-
tered here today in the shadow of the
capitol dome.
Actual headquarters of ultra-social-
ists and anarchists are in New York
state, but devious propaganda trails
led to Washington. Two propagand-
ists were under the closest guard by
government agents.
Both secret service operators and
agents are working with redoubled
vigor to crush the menace before next
week.
William J. Flynn, chief of the secret
service, came here today from New
York personally to superintend the
work.. No officials of the department
of justice today would say why ar-
rests were made.
Attorney General Gregory issued a
call asking registration vigilance com-
mittees to be formed in every com-
munity. It is believed that such com-
mittees can do the effective work done
by vigilance committees in past crises
in the history of the nation.

TO FORM FOURTH
AMBULANCE UNIT
All men who are interested
in the ambulance service but
were unable to obtain places in
the first three units may have
an opportunity to enter a fourth.
Applicants should leave their
summer addresses at the Union
immediately in case a summons
should be necessary.
The prospective unit will be
organized on the same principle
as the former three and will
serve in the same capacity.

Following a talk on the "Engineer
of the Future," by Prof. John R. Allen,
before the sophomore engineer assem-
bly held last Thursday, the members
of the class attended to elections and
business matters. R. D. Smith was
elected student councilman for the en-
suing year, while John Herllhy was
chosen as captain of the regatta
canoe crew.
Adiscussion of the annual Pow-wow
resulted in a resolution that the affair
be abandoned this year owing to con-
flicting eventstand present war con-
ditions.
Theclass also expressed its appre-
ciation of the efforts of its retiring
president, R. D. Smith and presented
him with a gavel.
PRES. FARRAND OF COLORADO
SAYS U. S. IN FOR LONG WAR
Boulder, Col;, June 1.- President
Livingston Farrand of the University
of Colorado, who is to deliver the com-
mencement address at Michigan on
June 28, is of the opinion that it will
take three, five, or ten years for the
United States to accomplish the down-
fall of autocracy, according to the Sil-
ver and Gold.
Dr. Farrand further states that the
submarine menace cannot be success-
fully coped with for at least 10
months.
ITALIANS REPULSE COUNTER
ATTACK MADE BY AUSTRIANS
Rome, June 1.-A massed counter at-
tack thrown in force, against newly
won Italian positions on heights No.
592 and No. 652- in the Vodice sector
was thrown back and completely re-
pulsed, the Italian war office asserted
today. Heavy losses were inflicted on
the enemy. In the north near Carso
and around Garizia considerable fight-
ing activity was reported.

By Robert J. Bender
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington. June 1.-The first ac-
tual draft of America's citizen soldiery
will probably be Sept. 5. According
to present indications it will take that
long to prepare supplies, and to pre-
pare proper housing and equipment for
the first 500,000- men.
Every step is being taken with de-
liberation and care in order to reduce
to a minimum the possibility of mis-
takes. It is not the government's pur-
pose to get thousands of young men
into camp without every means at
hand to properly care for them, and
to equip and prepare them for service.
Bound to Be Mistakes
By the very nature of the war situa-
tion there is bound to be actions, which
appear at first to be clumsy and un-
wieldy. This officials expect in the
handling of America's part in the war,
but it is confidently stated that soon
the ground work of the structure will
be laid, and America's speed and thor-
oughness will begin to show itself in
rapid confirmation of the , work it
faces. In the meantime, it is claimed,
that a tremendous amount more than
shows on the surface is now being ac-
complished.
Bank Burglar Falls; Kills Self
St. Louis, June 1.-Failing in an at-
tempt to hold up the Kings State bank
at University station here by bluffing
the teller with what he declared was a
bottle of nitroglycerine, Franklin J.
Whitman shot and killed himself in the
bank today. Whitman had been a
lyceum quartet singer and was inter-
ested in the manufacture of aeroplanes
here at the present time.

LIBERTY BOND SALE STARTS
IN ANN ARBOR MONDAY
LOAN IS SOLE CONCERN OF MAR.
KET IN NEW YORK SAYS
REPORT
Ann Arbor's campaign for the sale
of the Liberty loan bonds will com-'
mence next Monday. In Chicago,
New York, Philadelphia, and all
of the larige cities great campaigns are
being conducted to aid the sale of the
bonds. Through channels of the
newspapers, public speeches, and gen-
eral canvasses, the end is slowly be-'
ing secured.
According to a report from one of
the biggest brokerage firms in New
York City the Liberty loan has beenj
the sole concern of the bond market
throughout the present month, every-
thing being made subservient to its
success. Intelligent and organized ef-
fort is being made to reach the most
humble investor and committees are1
vieing with each other to turn in big
subscriptions.
The placing of the loan is not as
easy a matter as it appears on the1
surface, say experienced financiers. In
the first place only one in 500 of our
population is accustomed to buying
bonds of any description. In the sec-
ond place, the United States govern-3
ment bonds have never been popular
because of their low yield.
Europeans have long been used to
high taxes. The people of the United
States have not, and it is but natural
that the heads of the family and of
different businesses should be figuring
what the bonds will bring in dollars
and cents. Then the bonds represent
what is normally invested in a whole
year by the American people..
Notwithstanding these obstacles, the
campaign which is now being pushedf
in every part of the country is bearing
excellent fruit, and if the subscriptions
continue to pour in at the present rate,'
their total will be most satisfactory.

University Drill
is Aid in Camps
Men Rise at 5 O'clock in the Morning,
Retiring at 10 O'clock After
Day's Work
A number of interesting letters from
students of the Law school, who are
now in camp at Fort Sheridan, have
been received by friends of the "rook-
les" in Ann Arbor. The men are all
enthusiastic about their new life, and
say the preliminary training gained
before leaving the University has been
of great value to them.
The work they say is interesting, al-
though no labor union would approve
of the hours the men must put in.
They rise at 5 o'clock in the morning
and are kept on duty until 10 o'clock
in the evening, having 30 minutes for
breakfast, one hour for dinner, and
an hour and a half for supper. Sat-
urday afternoons and Sundays belong
to the soldier. The period between 7
and 9:30 o'clock is reserved for study.
The men are handicapped in this, how-
ever, by the fact that they have no
tables and poor light.'
At present the work consists of
squad and company drills, manual of
arms and the bayonet, semaphore and
code signalling, classes in guard duty,
martial law, and rules of land war-
fare.
There is a good chance to make in-
teresting acquaintances at the camp.
There are men there from almost all
the universities in the country, and
college men seem to have a special in-
terest in each other. Some of them
have seen service in the trenches. One
man with whom the Michigan men
have had close contact, fought in the
trenches in France. He was a mem-
ber of the famous Princess Patricia
regiment, of which about 30 men sur-
vive. He carries a scar on his fore-
head which was inflicted by a German
rifle in a hand-to-hand fight. All the
men have had to be inocculated for
typhoid fever.
JAPAN WILL SEND
TROOPS IF NEEDED'
To Furnish Soldiers If Emergency
Arises; Now Supplying
Ammunition'
Washington, June 1.-Japan will
send troops to the Russian front or
to Europe "if an emergency arises,
making such a course advisable,"
Augusto Ciuselli, member of the Ital-
ian war commission, said today. The,
declaration bears out a recent United
Press dispatch based on authoritative
information obtained here in diplo-
matic circles.
"There are no Japanese troops fight-
ing with the allies now," said Ciuselli,
"because all Europe except France
has sufficient man-power. What is
most needed -is ammunition. Japan
has been supplying large amounts of;
this necessity." A shortage of ships,!
Ciuselli said, is another reason why1
Japanese troops have not been sent to
the allies' lines.1
