McMichael, (Continued on Page Twelve.) 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 Telegraph Topics 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.

LIT ENROLLMEF BEATS MR K 'LARST YE AR BY EXECT OVER 1,20 sTUDE I AU ENROLL BY IN DEPARTMEI WEEK-END 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. IWHAT'S GOING ON University notices for this column are particularly welcome.
