LARGE NUMBER SIGNED UP
Employment Bureau, Students' Diree-
tory, Freshman and Rooming
House Are Other Committees
The Union's campaign for local
members will start this year with a
rush. The fall membership committee
who will conduct the campaign has
already been picked and will begin the
task of selling the blue buttons at
once. A large number have already
signed up at the new Union quarters
and it is expected that the membership
list this year will be a record breaker.
Besides the fall membership com-
mittee four other committees have been
chosen. These are the employment
bureau committee, the student's dl-.
rectory committee, the freshman re-
ception committee, and the rooming
house committee. Edwin B. Palmer,
'17, has been chosen general chair-
man of the football smoker committee.
'Chairmen and members of the vari-
ous committees as given out by Pres-
ident Glenn Coulter are as follows:

FIRST MASS MEETING FRIDAY
Freshmen to Get First Taste of Michi-
gan Spirit.
Freshmen will get their first dose
of real Michigan spirit Friday night
when a big mass meeting will be held,
probably in Hill Auditorium.
Michigan songs and yells will be
heard by many for the first time, and
prominent campus workers will be on
hand to help the newcomers to under-
stand the many old traditions of the
University. Incidentally, it will be the
first opportunity the students will
have of hearing the 1916-17 Varsity
band. This organization will play mu-
sic suitable to the occasion.
No freshman will be admitted with-
out his fresh "pot." The festivities
will begin at 7:30 sharp.
Engineering Society Improvements
The Engineering Society, in an ef-
fort to make this a banner year, is ar-
ranging a social program that will
bring returns far in excess of the dol-
lar membership fee. The popular
magazine subscriptions are now com-
ing in and a general smoker will be
held soon, also a dance at the Packard
Academy. A membership in the so-
ciety makes the member eligible for
full membership in the American So-
ciety' of Mechanical Engineers, the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers and the student civil and

New York, Oct. 2.-Cotton jumped
60 to 80 points on the New York cot-
ton stock exchange today following
publication of the Agricultural De-
partment's bulletin showing damage
to the middle states' crop. The in-
crease amounted to nearly $4.00 a bale.
Prices slipped back about ten points
after the first wild rush. The exchange
was in a turmoil as prices mounted at
new levels.
Washington, Oct. 2.- Automobile
owners in many cities are getting im-
pure gasoline and getting that in short
measure, according to reports to Sec-
retary of Commerce Redfield today.
At a conference with Director W. S.
Stratton, of the bureau of standards,
it was decided to appoint a commit-
tee to devise means of standardizing
the quality and insuring honest meas-
ure.
New York, Oct. 2.-Hetty Green's
estate, valued at $20,000,000 led the
personal assessments revealed by the
tax department this afternoon. Though
John D. Rockefeller last week broke
into the billionaire class his personal
assessment was placed at a paltry
$5,000,000.
New York, Oct. 2.-Brokers who bet
that the string of consecutive million
share days on the stock exchange
would exceed the Giants' string of
straight victories, lost their money
this afternoon. Sales today totalled
only 992,000 shares. There have been
20 consecutive million share days
while the Giants have won 26 con-
secutive games.
Washington, Oct. 2.-Rumors that a
train from Mexico City to Vera Cruz
had been dynamited by bandits were
radiographed to the State Department
today by Captain Burrage from the
Battleship Nebraska in Vera Cruz
harbor. The same report was contain-
ed in the dispatches to the State de-
partmnent today.
Galveston, Tex., Oct. 2.-Naval fore-
es of the allies have captured two
German submarine merchantmen
named "Bremen," according to Cap-
tain van Schoombeck, of the Belgian
steamer Elizabeth van Belgie, which
arrived here today. The captain said
one submarine was captured by the
British and the second by the French.

President Hutchins' Greeting.
Fellow Students of the University:
It is a pleasure to me and a privilege to extend to you through the
courtesy of The Michigan Daily, a word of greeting and congratulations.
And in doing so I beg to assure you that your welcome from those whose
duty it will be to instruct and to guide, is a most genuine and hearty
one. Never forget the university teachers and officers are in feeling and
attitude your fellow-students and your friends and that they stand ready
to help you to the extent of their ability whenever the occasion offers.
The year opens auspiciously. The prospects of the University were
never brighter. You ale all, I trust, animated by a common purpose to
profit, to the largest extent possible by the splendid opportunities so
generously given by the people of this Commonwealth. We expect, and I
am sure that we shall have, your hearty co-operation in all things that
make for the good name of the University and for the advancement of
its interests. That the year has in store for each of you much of happi-
ness and abundant success in the work of your choice, is the earnest hope
of your President.
Very sincerely yours,
HARRY B. HUTCHINS.

RUSS ADVANCE ON LEMBERG
Roumanians Invade Bulgar Territory;
British Capture Two Bulgar-
ian Villages.
London, Oct. 2.--General Haig's
men continued throughout last night
the smashing advance started yester-
day along the Somme, it was officially
announced today. After beating off
German counter attacks against the
newly won positions east of Eaucourt
l'Abbaye, the British established their
strength in that region and cleared
surrounding buildings of the enemy.
The new British "tanks" played an
important role in the advance and
helped make it possible for Haig's sol-
diers to win the German trenches with
slight losses. At several places the
British have reached the Gucudecourt-
Le Bars highway and crossed the two
highways leading to Bapaume.
Petrograd, ,Oct. 2.-A great battle
is now developing along the wide front
in Glicia and the Russians have re-
sumed their drive on Lemberg. It
was officially announced today that the
fighting is particularly stubborn along
the River Mariaucka, northeast of
Halitz, and also on the right bank of
the Zlota Lipa. Enemy counter at-
tacks have been repelled with great
losses to the enemy and 1,600 prisoners
have been taken.
Berlin, Oct. 2.-Roumanian troops
have invaded Bulgaria for the first
time since Roumania-entered the war.
An official statement from the war of-
fice this afternoon announced that the
Roumanians succeeded in crossing the
Danube south of Bucharest, gaining a
foothold on Bulgarian soil. The Bul-
garian fortress of Rustchuck, the
strongest Bulgarian position on the
Danube, lies directly south of Buchar-
est and the Roumanians' crossing was
made near this point. The Berlin
dispatch does not indicate how large
a force crossed.
Salonika, Oct. 2.-The villages of
Karazakoiballa and Larazakoizer, as
well as other parts of the Bulgarian
lines were captured by the British in
Saturday's fighting in the Struma re-
gion, it was officially announced to-
day. Enemy counterattacks were
beaten off with heavy losses,
Naval Forces Join
Allies At Somme
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent With the Allied
Armies.)
Peronne, Oct. 2.-Naval forces have
joined the allies here in the great land
battle of the Somme, 70 miles from
the sea. Iron-clad monitors utilizing
the magnificent net work of French
canals along the Somme, centered at
Peronne for participation in the daily
bombardment of Mt. St. Quentin, which
dominates Peronne from the east. They
have done much effective work.
Mt. St. Quentin, which is vital to
the defense of Peronne, is slowly and
steadily being encircled by the French
in the same manner that the allies sur-
rounded Combles. Marine gunners
who serve the pieces aboard the
monitors go about their business in
the same methodical clock-work man-
ner that ordinary workmen utilize in
their day's labor. After their morn-
ing's plunge in the canal and break-
fast, they begin tuning up the guns.
On land the same mechanical process
goes on. The artillery men eat break-
fast and then apparently without the
necessity of the officers' presence, be-
gin serving the guns on scheduled
time, like so many factory employes
beginning work on the whistle.

Crowds Watch German Craft
Earth After Lurid
Flight
Fall to{
(By Wilbur S. Forrest, United Press
Correspondent)
London, Oct. 2.-The heavy Zeppelin
shot down in last night's attempted
raid on London, crumpled up and
broke into several pieces after it
plunged earthward before the eyes
of thousands of Londoners. Frag-
ments fell from 50 to 60 yards around.
Thus far the corpses of 13 Germans
have been recovered. The command-
er of the destroyed Zeppelin was
found in a field near the wreck, still
alive, apparently uninjured. He had
been driven into the wreckage with
such force that the imprint of his body
was plainly visible when he was pick-
ed up.
Unlike previous raids in the vicinity
of London, last night's attack was sig-
nalled by no tremendous gun fire. A
few shots from anti-air craft guns
brought thousands to the roof tops
and streets throughout London, to
gaze toward the sky where search
lights converged their shafts on a Zep-
pelin whose engines could be faintly
heard. The Zeppelin was lost to view
for a moment. Then a small red speck
appeared in the sky, gradually grow-
ing into a red ball of fire.
The flames spread, like lightning,
lighting up the country for miles
around. The Zeppelin seemed to stand
still for a moment, its blazing fabric
visible in every detail. For several
seconds the burning air ship rested
on even keel; then it turned down and
shot to earth like a rocket.
President to Receive Independents
New York, Oct. 2.-President Wilson
has designated Saturday as Independ-
ent Voters' day, the national democrat-
In order that members of the Michi-
gan Union may view the progress1
upon the new million -'dollar club
house without difficulty, a wire fence1
will be built around the lot in place
of the customary high board fencet
which incloses such activities.
The active work will start this week,
as the bids for excavation were ac-
cepted by the building committee last
night. This work will take about a1
month to finish. Construction of the1
basement and sub-basement will be1
started by the first of November, it is
predicted. Owing to the massive
foundations which, make possible
about a story and a half of construc-t
tion under dirt level, this portion of
the work will take much longer tot
finish.-
That the committee in charge of na-
tional membership, campaign views
the amount yet to be gained as a small
hinderance is evinced by the fact that
they have given the building commit-t
tee orders to proceed with the workl
as originally planned. The construc-y
tion of the building will probably take
until June, 1918, to complete.
Ford Not to Contribute to Wilson Fund
Ashbury Park, N. J., Oct. 2.-After
a conference with President Wilson
at the summer White House this aft-'
ernoon, Henry Ford of Detroit said
he most likely would not contribute
to the Wilson campaign fund. 1
"The office should seek the man; the
man should not seek the office," was'
his stated reason for not contributing.
Ford had warm praise for the national
legislation of the Wilson administra-
tion.
New Campus Tunnel Heats West Hall
West Hall is to be cold no more. A
tunnel has been built during the
summer to accommodate heating and
lighting connections, this new tunnel
joining the large tunnel under the
diagonal walk at a point between the
Natural Science building and Univer-
sity hall. Heat and light will also be
furnished through this tunnel to New-
berry Residence.
Alumni Hall Open 7 A. M. to 10 P. M.
Alumni secretary, W. B. Shaw,
wishes to announce for the benefit of
the first year men that Alumni Me-
morial Hall will be open from 7 a. m-.
to 10 p. m. This building contains
many fine works of art besides read-
ing rooms where current periodicals
are available.
600 Members in Women's League
With a membership already exceed-
ing that of last year by almost a hun-
dred members, the Women's League is
bending all efforts toward making this
year a banner one in its history. Al-
most six hundred women have already
joined, as against 550 for last year.
R. P. Lane Recovers from Typhoid
Mr. R. P. Lane, instructor in the
political science department since his
transfer from the rhetoric branch, is
recovering from a severe attack of
typhoid at the St. Joseph's where he
has been confined for some time.
On or about the 18th of December
the University cf Michigan Glee and
Mandolin clubs will leave Ann Arbor
on the longest trip ever undertaken
by these organizations.
Chicago will be the first stop on
the list. From the Windy City the
clubs will go to St. Louis, Kansas
City, Laramie, Wyo., Denver, Sterling,
Colo., Colorado Springs, Salt Lake
City, Ogden, Berkeley, Cal., Los Ange-
les, Pasadena, Phoenix, Austin, Dal-
las, San Antonio, Huston, New Or-
leans, and Mephis, Tenn.
When interviewed last night, Man-
ager MauriceNichols said: "Due to the
deputation that last year's clubs es-
tablished among the alumni of the
west, we have had no difficulty in get-
ting all the engagements we desired.
In fact many large cities were refus-
ed concerts because of the short time
at our disposal."
According to present plans 50 men
will be carried on the tour. They will
travel in two sleepers and a special
baggage car will be provided for their
use.
Especial stress will be laid upon
"stunts" in this year's clubs. In the
past this feature has not been empha-
sized strongly but the "stunt" man
will be welcomed with open arms this
season. All students who have any
ability along this line are urged to
come out and make an attempt. These
men will be given every opportunity
to make good, and are assured of the
long trip if their acts come up to
specifications.
Tryouts for Glee and Mandolin club
positions will be held Friday and Sat-
urday of this week. A call for "stunt"
men will be issued later.
ROOSEVELT PLANS TO DELIVER
FOUR MORE SPEECHES SOON
New York, Oct. 2.-At least four
more carefully prepared speeches-will
be made by Colonel Theodore Roose-
velt within the next two or three
weeks. Theyx. will be of the same
"skin-'em-alive" variety as that de-
livered at Battle Creek Saturday, Re-
publican officials said today. Plans
tentatively decided upon call for the
speech at Chicago, another two days
later at Denver and a third at Louis-
ville on the way back to New York.
The fourth is to be made here in New
York within a few days before the
campaign closes.
