PEACE WITHOUT VICTORY
IMPOSSIBLE SAYS IBOT
FIIENCH PREMIER STATES THAT
NATION IS IN ACCORD
WITH U. S.
Paris, June 6. - Announcing that
France is in entire accord with the
United States, Premier Ribot this aft-
ernoon declared to a special sitting of
the senate that there can be no
"peace without victory",
"It is necessary to speak clearly,"
the premeier asserted. "We are in ac-
cord with the United States. Alsace-
Lorraine must be returned. No
Frenchman dare say that there can be
peace until that is accomplished.
"We do not want indemnities but
reparation for damages. We are mor-
ally backed by the world in this de-
mand. It is also necessary that there
be a guarantee for peace. The best
solution would be for Europe to be
so constituted that all nations be
masters of their own destinies. There
can be no peace without victory."
Ribots speech was made at a special
meti; of the senate, called in re-
sponse to Ribot's statement that he
wished to explain the 7rench position
as goon as possible

RUSH ALL PREPARATIONS TO'
EQUIP 625,000 MEN FULLY
More Than 50 Per Cent Claim Exemp-
tion; Army and National
Guard Gain
By Carl D. Groat
(United Press Staff Correspondent.);
Washington, June 6.-America's first
citizen army of 625,000 men began to
take definite shape today.
While registration in some districts
fell below the war department's ex-
pectations, others rolled up astonish-
ing totals. In some Pacific coast sec-
tions half the population registered.
Figures continue to come in slowly to-
night. Returns are not expected to be
complete for some days.
The next great task is that of dis-
posing of exemption claims. More
than 50 per cent of those signing up,
yesterday claimed exemption. It will
be necessary to call 2,000,000 in order
to get the 625,000, the war department
believes. Appointment of an exemp-
tion board will be the next step.
Meanwhile, America's war machines
are rushing preparations for equip-
ment for the first army. Contracts
for shoes apd other necessities are be-
ing placed rapidly. Rifles and ammuni-
tion are being manufactured as quick-
ly as munitions plants can turn them
out. When the 625,000 are called it is
expected to have the equipment ready.
Before the first draft drawing alle
cripples and other physically disabled
will be exempted. Then in two weeks
will come the drawing, and after that
the physical examinations. Gains ins
the regular army and national guard
recruiting are such that officials be-
lieve 'that- it will be unnecessary to1
employ conscription to fill the ranks
of these units for war strength. The
army today needs 82,000 to reach its
war power.
In many places registration con-:
tinued today, so as to take care of the:
overflow. In Missouri, Illinois, and1
other mid-western states heavy storms
are hindering reports. Severalccoun-
ties in Missouri are entirely cut off
from communication.
"GARGOLENSIAN" IS TITLE OF
HUMOR ISSUI O APPEAR SOON
Abandoning its policy of good-nat-
ured satire, it is rumored, the grin-
ning Gargoyle that symbolizes Michi-
gan's humor publication will eschew
the pen for the more forceful sledge
hammer, and with blows iconoclastic
proceed to smash many a campus idol
in the June issue which is soon to
make its appearance. The number
will be known as the "Gargoylensian"
and will recount the year's events in
a manner which is said to make plain
the woeful deficiencies of the official
year book.
Prominent members of the graduat-
ing class, honor societies, and campus
activities will suffer complete expos-
ure, 'tis whispered, at the hands of the
relentless ihage breaker. The dedica-
tion will remain a secret with the edi-
torial staff until the issue has been
placed on sale. Numerous "snapshots"
will enliven the pages, and merry
quips of modern vintage will make
for the success of the number.
BACON, '02, WANTS TO MEET

TORNADO SWEEPS THROUGH LOWER
PART OF STATE INJURING MANY
AND DAMAiGING MUCH PROPERTY
STORM LASTS BUT FEW MINUTES
AN )D IS MOST SEVERE
IN YEARS
TOWNS SURROUNDING
ANN ARBOR HARD HIT
Roads to Dexter Blocked by Fallen
Trees; Wind Plans Many
Strange Tricks
Several people were injured, and
unlimited damage was done by a ter-
riffle tornado which swept through
Dexter and the surrounding. country
at 1 ,O o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The storm lasted for 20 minutes dur-
ing which time the town was in almost
absolute darkness.
Houses were wrecked, trees up-
rooted, poles blown down, and roads
blocked by the tornado which left
acres of debris in its wake. Order
was brought out of confusion immedi-
ately after the passage of the cyclone
by the farmers bordering on its path
who cleared the roads for traffic. The
main road to Dexter, however, was
blocked by a mammoth tree which was
too large to be hauled away quickly.
Battle Creek Strck
This cyclone was the tail of the one
which swept through Battle Creek at
1 o'clock, damaging the Michigan Car-
ton company to an extent of $100,000.
The roof of the press room collapsed,
burying 28 presses, and more than
140 men and girls. Many were in-
jured. The main damage was dohe
along Merchen street and Battle Creek
street, where the cyclone left a path
of ruins 100 feet wide. Northwest of
Jackson at Strimrpgsburg two were
killed and five seriously injured.
Mr. J. S. Obrien of Detroit, travel-
ing for the Osborne Calendar com-
pany of New York, noticing the ap-
proach of the tornado sought refuge in
a D. U. R. waiting station a little ways
out of Dexter. The tornado lifted the
station up, carried it for a short dis-
tance and dropped it Mr. Obrien Was
found wandering in an adjacent field.
He sustained a smashed nose, crushed
head, and a broken arm. He was sent
to tie Maplehurst hospital.
Wife 11a Narrow Escape
Mr. Oit, driving with his wife from
Detroit to his home in Albany, drove
into a barn for shelter. The barn and
automobile w cre blown away. Mr.
Ott received a double fracture in his
leg. His wife escaped injury.
Two men who were driving Ford
automobiles to Grand Rapids from De-
troit were caught in the path of the
storm. Telephone wires which were
blown down in front of them caught in
the wheels of the .car and turned it
turtle. Th#' driver was slightly cut
on the forehead by pieces of the wind-
shield. First aid was administered to
him in Dexter. The men left the de-
molished Ford by the roadside an
continue in the undamaged car to
Grn iaiu..apids.
Dexer Untouched
The main center of Dexter was left
untouched, the neighboring territory
was the only part to suffer damage.
' communications to Dexter are im-
"nssible. The wires which carry pow-
er from Bartan dam to the city were
completely destroyed.
The farra of Jay Smith was entirely
ruined. T'he second story of his brick
house was carried away, leaving lit-
te but the foundation in good order.
.\ I the barns, fences, coops and trees
and fihe orchard were dismantled. H.
C. Clements, who was hitching up his
horse in the field, was uninjured by
the tornado.
The house of John Helber, two and
a half miles outside of Dexter, was de-
stroyed. Many hogs and chickens
were killed. The barn and silo of
Andraw Hughes was ripped up. The
farm and home of James Welch, near
Ann Arbor, was also struck by the
tornado. The kitchen of Mr. Allen's
home was torn from the side of his
house and moved to the center of his
yard.
Leaves Path of Debris

debris one mile west of Northfield.
Many cattle and horses were found
