EVENTS

HIGHEST
DAY'S

ENTRY LIST LARGER
THAN EVER BEFORE
Twenty-five Mile Marathon Completed
in Five Minutes Less Than
Record Time
Although the weather was threaten-

ing, yesterday afternoon marked one
of the most successful regattas that
the University of Michigan Boat club
has ever held. With a crowd equal
to if not surpassing that of former
years and a larger entry list than ever
before, the program was carried off
without a break.
L. H. Beach, '18E, proved to be the
highest point winner of the day in the
canoe events, carrying off five firsts,
while C. E. Briggs, '18E, with two firsts
and two thirds was the high man in
,the swimming contests. Contrary to
all expectations the 25-mile marathon
from Lakeland was completed in just
five minutes less than record time,
most of the distance being against a
heavy head wind. L. H. Beach, '18E,
and B. Buell, '19, were in the winning
canoe and arrived in time to take part
in the other events. They made the
trip in four hours and 11 minutes.
Mixed Tandem Race
The 500-foot mixed tandem canoe
race, the only event in which the girls
took part, created more interest than
any of the others which the possible
exception of' the fancy diving. Six
canoes were entered. The race ended
with L. H. Beach, '18E, and Marie
Steere, '19, ahead and W. M. Bell, '19M,
and Catherine Acklen, '20, a close sec-
ond.
The 500-foot tandem canoe race was
perhaps the closest contest of the day.
The decision was made on a margin
of only a few inches. The 40-yard dash
in the swimming contests proved to be
the greatest drawing card of the a-
fair and was started off with 16 en-
tries. One other feature of the day
was the sailing race, an event intro-
duced this year for the first trime. R.
A. Hayward, '17E, won the event after
a speedy contest.

winners is as follows: 500-foot canoe

More than 2,500 students have reg-
istered at the registrar's office since
May 24. Yesterday was the final day
for registration, though any student
who has failed to register will be al-
lowed to do so tomorrow. Washtenaw
county students and foreign students
who have no permanent home in the
United States will register in the pre-
cinct in which they live on Tuesday in
Ann Arbor.
No names of the registered students
will be published by the University be-
cause of the fact that all the names
have been sent to the homes of the
students leaving the University. The
names of students who registered in
Ann Arbor will be published by the
county.
In virtually all cases the students
did not claim exemption from draft,
though medical and engineering stu-
dents were registered free from in-
fantry dr9ft so that they could serve
their country in a greater capacity.

Secrets to Be Told at Annual Break-
fast Held in Newberry Resi-
dence June 23
How many senior girls will take
lemon this year?
This question, the subject of grave
speculation in feminine circles, will
receive an answer at the annual senior
breakfast at Newberry residence Sat-
urday morning, June 23, when the
candle and the lemon are passed
around according to hoary custom, and
every engaged girl silently tells her
secret by blowing out the candle and
taking lemon.
The toasts for the breakfast, which
follows immediately after the senior
house party to be held Friday night
at the dormitory, are in charge of
Helen Davis, '17. Places are limited
to 138 for the night, although more can
be conveniently entertained at the

WILL SYMBOLIZE LIBERTY IN
NEW MONUMENT AT PRINCETON
Princeton, N. J., June 2.-A monu-
ment to celebrate the battle of Prince-
ton will be erected this summer before
the Princeton inn on grounds recently
purchased by the city. Three-fourths
of the $60,000 necessary for the con-
struction of the monument will be
contributed by the state and national
governments, and the remainder will
be raised by popular subscription.
Penn Hospital Units to Go Into Camp
Philadelphia, June 2.-University of

SLACKERS DECREASE
AS PLOTTERS VANISH
Government Frustrates Attempts of
Anti-Conscriptionists as Date
Draws Near
Washington, June 2.-America will
play her part manfully as to registra-
tion of her sons for army service.
That was the view of Attorney Gen-
eray Gregory tonight after receiving
word -irom all quarters that the anti-
conscription plotting appeared to be

partment today. Immediately it was
laid before President Gomez of Ven-
ezuela.
In secret possession of tho island
the Germans can menace the Panama
canal. The island is directly in the
steamship lane to the canal, and with
a secret U-boat base the Germans
could paralyze our shipping. It is
about 500 miles from Culebra and 1,000
miles from Colon, and dominates the
southern Caribbean sea. It is also
adapted for use as a naval base.
Quick steps have been taken by the
government to head off the work of
German agents. President Gomez is
expected to take action to halt activ-
ities of German plotters.
Although officials of the state de-
partment refused to discuss any phase
of the situation, it is known a pointed
note to President Gomez called atten-
tion to the fact that any such move-
ment by Germany would be a viola-
tion of the Monroe doctrine. If Ger-
many gained possession of,-or used it,
the United States plans instant action.
According to information reaching
the state departihent, German agents
are maneuvering to effect a purchase
of it from the Venezuelan govern--
ment.
GOVERNMENT TO SELECT DRILL
SITES FOR AMBULANCE UNITS
A camp site near Philadelphia is
now being selected by the government,
on which to drill the student ambu-
lance units which have been formed
throughout the country.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the departure of the three
Michigan ambulance units for this
camp, but the government assures
them that they will leave in the near+
future.
CAP NIGHT ARRANGEMENTS
* ARE REACHING COMPLETION
Arrangements for the celebration of
cap night are being rapidly completed
and will be announced definitely with-

to practically the same form of observ-
ance as that of previous years, in-
cluding the usual number of speakers,
class formations marching to the place
of the celebration, and the big bon-
fire. ,

Chicago, June 2.-A camyaign is be-

charge of the undergraduate council.

greatly curbed, though perhaps not en-
I tirely checked. He felt that slackers
would be few, probably less than 100,-
'oo.
That the arrest of plotters through-
out the land is having its effect is be-
yond doubt.
A big national election never passes
without difficulties somewhere, it was
pointed out tonight, but on the whole
authorities are more confident about
matters tonight than they have been
at any time since the propaganda
started. Fourteen arrests of alleged
anti-registration plotters were made
today at Cincinnati and a round-up of
others elsewhere is continuing.
