Just six members of the Quadrangle
club are interested in seeing the Re-
publican presidential candidate take
the laurels in the coming election, ac-

taken in the course of a meeting held
last night.
The final count was 22 to 6 with

Secretary Baker.

thorized to give military instruction:

WILSON GREETED BY CROWDS
Vassar College Girls Aid in Reception
on Chicago Trip
(Robery J. Bender, United Press Staff
Correspondent.)
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Oct. 18.-On
his first swing through New York1
state since the campaign opened, Presi-1
dent Wilson was greeted at every point
by crowds, while on his way to Chi-
cago this afternon. At Harmon, a lit-
tle railroad junction, apparently every
shop man and his wife appeared in1
the yards and gave the 'president an1
enthusiastic reception.I
Word reached the train. that a great1
demonstration was being planned at
Syracuse when the president passes
through there tonight. Vassar college
girls contributed to the reception here.
There were several thousand men and1
women at the station.
4,000 See WiLon in Albany.
Albany, Oct. 18.-Four thousand per-
sons crowded into the station shed
here this afternoon and fought to
shake hands with President Wilson
when he appeared on the platform ofi
the special car which is carrying him
to Chicago.1
"I'm a very poor hand at commend-
ing my own actions," he said. "You
know what my administration hasc
done, and I feel perfectly safe to leavec
my case in the hands of the jury."
Dr. Bolt, Alumnu, Visits University
Dr. Richard A. Bolt of Peking, China,
visited the University yesterday to
see President Hutchins. He is con-
nected with the Tsing Hua college and
the United States Indemnity school
and is in this country on a leave oft
absence. He is an alumnus of lIichi-
gan.

(Henry Wood, United Press Staff Cor-
respondent.).
With the Armies Encircling Chaul-
nes, Oct. 18.-The most freakish trick
played by gunfire since the great bat-
tle of the Somme began resulted in the
death of two German majors, several
minor officers, and 20 men garrisoning
a steel re-enforced blockhouse in
Bovent wood. They were killed out-
right by the shock or one of the big
French shells which struck near by
but in no way damaged the fort.
The German blockhouse was con-
stituted of eight observation chambers,
and a machine gun towner. So strong-
ly was it built that it resisted with
comparative little damage the ter-
riffic force of the bombardment and its
machine gun kept sptting fire. Final-
ly French infantry was ordered to
take it by a storming action.'
They went forward with a rush after
a brief bombardment, swarming about
the blockhouse, surprised by the Ger-
mans' lack of resistance and forced at
way in.
Inside they found the entire Germant
garrison dead, unwounded, and ap-
parently sleeping. The shock of thet
nearby explosion had been transmitted
to the interior of the fort. It had been1
multiplied a thousand fold becausei
there were no outlets for the resultingt
virbrations, except for the peep holes
and machine gun~slips. The fort was1
large enough to hold 300 men.

ALPI{ONSO PUZZLES PARIS
Spanish King Meets Ambassadors in
San Sebastian
Paris, Oct. 18.-Considerable specu-
lation has been aroused over the ar-
rival of King Alphonso at San Se-
bastian, Spain. The Spanish king's
visit coincides with the arrival at San
Sebastian of the Spanish ambassadors
to France, Russia and Italy.
Other foreign diplomats are gather-
ing there, but diplomatic circles here
profess to know of no reason for the
meeting. Several months ago a sim-
ilar meeting took place at San Se-
bastian. It was rumored that at that
time Alphonse was sounding out the
allied governments regarding their
feeling toward peace.
WOMAN SHOOTS MAN IN CHI-
CAGO COURT DIVORCE CASE
Chicago, Oct. 18.-Holding her baby
in one arm, Mrs. Katherine Marek rose
in Judge Foel's courtroom this after-
noon and fired three shots at Jacob
Klaus, the third striking Klaus in the
back, wounding him. Klaus was in
court as the correspondent in a di-
vorce suit against Mrs. Marek.
Turks Warn United States Depaitment
Washington, Oct. 18.-The Turkish
government notified the department of
commerce today that the Turkish mili-
tary authorities have to fire on "enemy
ships" passing between Turkey and,
the islands of Khios, and Samos, and
that hence "neutral ships should not
navigate in those regions in order to
avoid any regrettable accidents."

Robert D. Elliott, '20E, is held in the
county jail charged, with taking an
automobile belonging to George Reed,
of Pittsfield township, and driven by
his two daughters, Mabel and Nellie,
from in front of a store on Main street,
Tuesday'afternoon.
The women notified Theodore E.
Schaebel, an automobile driver of
Ypsilanti, who drove to Ypsilanti to
wait for Elliott. When Elliott came
along driving at a high rate of speed
he was stopped by Schaebel. Schaebel
held Elliott while his wife summoned
the sheriff. He was brought to Ann
Arbor and lodged in the local jail.
Elliott says his home is in Detroit
where his father is in the lumber
business. Until a late hour last night,
the sheriff had not succeeded in com-
municating with the father. Elliott
has not yet been arraigned.

appear on the campus tomorrow morn-
ing.

dents of the literary department.
Among other stories and essays
mentioned previously, the first num-
ber will contain a dialogue called
"Gold Leaves," written anonymously,,
which will attract considerable atten-
tion.
The leading editorial will show the

"Political Speakers in Ann Arbor,"
and "Sophomores."

Irish Leader Declares No Conscription
Without Compliance
London, Oct. 18.-John Redmond,
Irish leader, met the demand for con-
scription in Ireland with a counter
demand for home rule in Ireland in
an address delivered before the house
of commons this afternoon. Any at-
tempt to enforce conscription n Ire-
land would be fruitless, Redmond de-
clared, so long as England maintains
martial law and a Unionist govern-
ment against the will of the Irish peo,
ple.
Redmond reviewed in detail the situ-
ation in Ireland, and declared that con-
scription would be an aggravation, not
a remedy. 'It cannot be denied that
the situation is full of danger," he
said after protesting against the con-
tinuation of the present government in
Ireland.
Several things, Redmond stated,
have harmed voluntary recruiting in
Ireland. One was the suppresson of
official mention of the landiig of Irish
troops in the Gallipoli peninsula; an-
other was the inclusion of Sir Edward
Carson, Ulsterite leader, in the coali-
tion cabinet.
Fresh Foresters to Meet Today
The fresh foresters will hold their
first meeting of the year at 4 o'clock
today in the amphitheater of the nat-
ural science building. Nominations for
class officers for the year will be held.
