Simpson 's Team
Leads "Y' Race
An estimate of the number of mem-
bers in the student "Y" up to the end
of the second day in the campaign is
giren as 800, but a. much larger num-
ber is looked for when the results of
last night's canvass are totalled.
Teams under J. R. Simpson, '18; W.
M. Bell, '18, and O. C. Haywood, '17,
hold first, second, and third -places,
respectively, in the race for the high-
est number of memberships secured.
These teams have done exceptional
work through their persistent efforts.
Advantages offered by the associa-
tion this year are greater than ever.
In addition to the new building, a bene-
fit in itself, plans have been completed
for making the work of the associa-
tion more attractive to students. This
is especially true of the socialrservice
wcork carried on in Ann Arbor in
which all students interested may take
an active part.

slogan adopted by those in charge of

MCKIENSEN TAKES
IMPORTANT TOWNS
Chernavoda, Strategic Railroad Cen.
ter, Falls Before Continued
:Drive of Germans
WAY NOW OPEN TO BUCHAREST
With quiet, forceful eloquence, Lin-
coln J. Steffens, traveler, journalist,
and sociologist, last night told the
story, of Mexico to the audience of
more- than TOO' who gathered to hear
him in the auditorium of the Ann Ar-
bor high school.
The 'peaKer showed a masterly
grasp of the situation in Mexico, and
a complete ,understanding of Presi-
dent Wilson's policies toward that
country. Beginning with the over-
throw of Porfirio Diaz; h? described
in detail the details of the revolution,
the advent of American capitalists,
and the establishment of Poncho Ma-
dero, the impractical idealist. Mr.
Steffens briefly entered into a descrip-
tion of Madero's unhappy ending and
the events that led to the separation
of Villa from the armies of the north.
"Villa was induced to part from the
couse of the revolutionists," said Mr.
Steffens, "by the magnificient offers
made him by American capitalists.
These desired that the concessions and
advantages made them by the Diaz
regeme continue, and that the liberty
be taken from the Mexican people.
They were the ones most instrumental
In taking from the peons their com-
munal lands. Every counter-revolu-
tion has been financed by American
capital, and every raid over the bor-
der was plotted in this country long
beforehand. We are sending troops
into Mexico to avenge wrongs for
which we, primarily, are responsible."
The speaker outlined the policies of
Carranza with whom he traveled about
the country for a period of three
months. He graphically drew the
character of the leader, and asserted
that if left to work out the salvation
of his people, he would undoubtedly
meet with success, but if interferred
with by the intervention of a foreign
power, only more bloodshed and
carnage was to be looked for. Mr.
Steffen asserted that the land question
was responsible.
"The Mexicans are not a moral, but
an aesthetic people, they find no at-
tractions in personal accumulation of
wealth. They do not live to work but
merely work to live. Once they have
enough to satisfy their simple needs,
they are content. If left to them-
selves, they will develope a civiliza-
tion like to the ancient Greeks."
Following the lecture, Mr. Steffens
conducted a questionaire, and for 40
minutes proceeded ' to answer all
quiries put to him. These dealt with
Mexican legislation, with the hopes and
ideals of ,the people, and with their
customs and habits. He explained cer-
tain diplomatic moves on the part of
the United States, such as the landing
of the fleet at Vera Cruz, and the real
motivt back of the 'watchful waiting"
policy.

nally the plan was to have Hughes
3pring his biggest speech at the wind-
,ip of the campaign Saturday night,

lands, chairman, announced today. I
Two of the musical features have'
played the Keith circuit during the
past summer season, and in all likeli-
hood will accept an engagement for
the next. The other sketches are said
to be humorous in the main, and ex-
ceedingly clever in their execution.
The band will furnish the principal
attraction, and it is rumored that a
sextette will be recruited from its
ranks.
Herbert Garrison, '17, chairman of
the ticket sales committee, has an-
nounced that 200 men will co-operate
with him in disposing of the paste-

London, Oct. 25.-Armies of the cen-
tral powers struck crushing blows to-
day against the Russo-Roumanians.
Berlin this afternoon announced cap-
ture by Field Marshal von Mack-.
ensen's German - Bulgarian - Turkish
forces of .hernavoda, eastern terminusI
of the railroad bridge crossing the
Danube into Roumania. The victory
is considered one of the most Impor-
tant scored by the Teutonic forces
since Roumania entered the war with
the allies.
Only brief dispatches covering the
operatiots about Chernavoda had been
received, but the official accounts in-
dicate the Russo-Roumanian forces
suffered a disastrous rout. Large
bodies of Russian and Roumanian
troops are believed to have been cut
off in Dobrudja and are in imminent
danger of capture or destruction by
Mackensen.
Von Valkenhayn Advances.
Capture of the Chernavoda bridge
not only cuts off the retreat of the
allied forces, but also opens a way
for a drive on Bucharest, the Rou-
manian capital. Meantime the Aus-
tro-German armies of General von
Falkenhayn continue to advance from
the west in Transylvania. Berlin an-
nounced the capture of the famous
Vulkan pass after bloody hand-to-
hand fighting.
On the western front, developments
of the day were more favorable to the
^ause of the entente allies. Teutonic'
forces counter attacked fiercely north-
east of Verdun, striving to regain
ground lost to the French in a power-
ful smash yesterday, but all of their
attacks were defeated. The French
war office this afternoon announced
that all positions captured by the
French were strongly maintained. Ger-
mans are rushing strong reinforce-
ments to the Verdun front to protect
their lines from further onslaught.
Many regiments had been transferred
From the Somme front, according to
war office reports.

three days, the 1916-17 Students' Di-
rectory will go on sale at all book

worked harder than ever in an at-
tempt to defeat the record time made

RESULTS IN FRIDAY'S. DAILY
Only Hughes and Wilson on Ballot,
But Other Candidates May
Be Voted For
Michigan's faculty and students will
today designate their favorite candi-
date for president and cast a vote for
or against the proposed state law pro-
hibiting the sale of intoxicants. . The
result of this straw vote is expected
to be a crystalization of mid-western
sentiment.
Universities, colleges, and political
institutions all over the country have
been conducting such balloting, and
the final counts will doubtless throw
much light on the probable outcome
of the November elections. With many
important and conflicting issues at
stake, more interest seems to have
been taken in politics in the last few
-nonths than has been evinced for
many years, this being especially true
'f student bodies.
In the voting which is to take place
today from 1 until 6 o'clock at various
stations on the campus, not only tht
,tudents, but the faculty as well, will
be urged to cast their votes inlicating
their political preferences.
In addition- to the ballot boxes al-
ready announced, two more have been
established for the convenience of stu-
dents in the Medical school. One of
these will be located in the university
hospital, the other in the homeopathic
hospital. Members of the faculty may
-ast their vote at any one of the bal-
loting places.
On the ballots are printed the names
of Charles E. Hughes and Woodrow
Wilson, but the committee of student
councilmen in charge of the voting
tate that the addition of any one of
the otler candidates names will cause
it to be counted in the final returns.
The other question to be voted upon
is whether the state of Michigan shall
adopt a prohibition policy.
Harold E. O'Brien, '17, will act as
chairman of the committee, and will
be assisted by W. B. Steele, '17D; S.
F. Attwood, '18E; C. W. Attwood, '17A;
H. L. Keim, '17M, and D. W. Sessions,
