Reynolds calls the tention of freshmen and the student )dy generally to the following ordi- ances: Do not drive yoW machine faster ian 15 miles per hour within the city Fresh Entertain .Crod of Sophs Sing and Yell for Sophomores; Some Even Journey to Ypsi. "We're the greenest freshmen that ever came to Michigan," sounded sweet to sophomore ears last evening when chanted by 30 or more verd? ant yearlings as they marched down Lib- erty street in lockstep, with trousers rolled to the knees, coats inside out, and heads bare. The fun started shortly before 8:00 o'clock when freshmen were captured by twos and threes until a consider- able number had been gathered. They were escorted over State street to Huston's and there gave the best en- tertainment that was in their power in the form of songs and high school yells. One fresh who had been used to early retiring hours at home was pulled out of bed. Hd was made to put on his overalls which he had just laid neatly over a chair back, and was carried off to join the other un- fortunate members of his class. Then occurred the march down town to Main street, where the fresh paraded down the center of Main street. A few of the usual stunts were gone through with and then the sophomores conducted their victims to the Michi- gan Central station to meet the east- bound train due at 8:38 p. m. When the train arrived the fresh seemed proud of themselves, for they insisTed upon walking. from one end of the train to the other. Those in the lead were lucky, and got off before the train started, but nearly half of them were too slow, for the train pulled out and took with it a number of fright-' ened freshmen. Some wild jumps were made, but most of the boys remained aboard until the train reached "Ypsi" and returned to Ann Arbor by various routes. Meanwhile the men of '19 returned to the campus for fresh meat. It wasn't long before a few pros- pects were gathered in and given the task of passing out slips of tissue pa- per to patrons of the Busy Bee. Others were perched on the top of the Uni- versity Book Store sign where they gave their flattering opinion of the class of '19, bayed to the moon, em- braced each other lovingly and sang sourly. New recruits were obtained every little while until the sophomores got tired of the fun and quit. No one was hurt.

Imperial Headquarters Russian Army, Sept. 4, by Mail-Czar Nich- olas, ruler of Russia's millions, and Commander-in-Chief of her armies, works harder than any millionaire in Wall street. He puts in more hours a day than American trade unions allow, by just as much again. He lies down to sleep at night on a camp bed made of canvas. The Emperor was on his way to work, walking through the rain, when I saw him. He looks like his pictures except that he is quite brown from living much in the open. He walks with an athletic spring. Life at the front seems to agree with him. Nicholas rises shortly after 8:00 o'clock. At 9:00 o'clock he sits down to eggs, rolls and coffee. At 10:00 o'clock he goes to the staff headquarters and reads the report of General Alexieff, illustrated with maps and plans. By 12:30 at night the report is finished and the Emperor's orders to generals on the entire front are dispatched. Appeal for' Membership on That Club Holds Old Position Basis "Let's go to the Union." '% With these words as their motto the fall membership committee of the Michigan Union will make a house to house canvass of all the .students. The idea that the Union is the social center of Michigan has had knock- out blow in some student's mind by the fact that the old quarters have been torn down. This idea the com- mittee will strive to correct and as soon as the committees are complete- ly organized work will be commenced to get every male in the university a member of the Union. Jos. F. Meade, '17E, chairman of the fall membership committee said last night that the committees are fast rounding into shape and the house to house canvass would start soon. "Just as soon as the students realize that the Union is in better quarters than last year, there will be an en- largement of the membership list", said Meade, "and the purpose of the canvass from now on will take on the aspect of showing the campus what we really have."

BLACKMAIL REPORT IS FALSE Claim That Four Students Had Been Involved in Scandal Is Denied. Rumors that four university students had been questioned by a Chicago de- tective named Edmund Hill yester- day morning in connection with the nation-wide blackmail investigation, were found to be without foundation last night when Division Superintend- ent of Justice Clambaugh of Chicago wired that no such detective had been sent to Ann Arbor. The local police were instructed to hold any man claiming to be Detective Hill, and to notify the Chicago officials of his seiz- ure. According to a story which ap- peared in a Detroit afternoon paper yesterday, women were sent to Ann Arbor from Chicago at the time of the Junior Hop last February. These women were said' to have invigeled four men students 'into a compromis- ing situation and then extorted large sums from their wealthy Chicago par- ents. Thorough Investigation by the Ann Arbor authorities yesterday after- noon failed to verify the report in any particular. REACTIONARIES FORCE OKUMA'S RESIGNATION Opposition of Conservative Upper House Cause of Japanese Cabinet Upheaval Washington, Oct. 3.-Persistent op- position of the Japanese upper un elective House of Parlament to the policy of Premier Okuma is respon- ible for his resignation, news of which was cabled from Tokio today This is the belief of the Embassy here. Okuma's party controlled the major- ity of the Lower House but a coali- tion of the other parties in the House, was formed against him. It was said Okuma has for some weeks felt un- able to continue the government and! face the Upper House when it con- vened in December.- It is understood that the Premier has contemplated re- signing for some months and was waiting for a time when he thought he could arrange for a successor from his own party.

Okuma's opponents in, the Upper House are advocating the ap- pointment of Count Marshall Taren- chi, now Governor of Korea.

Few noteworthy changes in the en- rollment figures were reported at the close of registration yesterday. The greatest jump was shown in the law college. At closing time Monday 134 had signed up, while at dusk Tues- day there were 303 enrolled. This misses last year's mark to date by 39. The falling off is attributed to the in- creased literary requirements. Both the medics and the dents show an increase over last year. At the close of1registration yesterday there were 331 students enrolled in the dental college, and 311 in the medical school. The medical college enrolled 43 new students yesterday while 22 dents were added to the list. The literary college showed the slightest gain, only 20 students en- rolling. Most of these were old stu- dents, the new arrivals having prac tically all come in. To date the en- rollment in the literary college is ahead of the final returns of last year by 219. This total will be swelled somewhat by the end of the week. Re- turns from the engineering college show only a slight increase over last Health Service Indications that work on the uncom- not open muffler on your ma- pleted sewer on South State street near chine.

GRAD WINS FAME AS FILM STAR Graduates of the university are en- tering the ranks of the movie profes- sion. The following is a clipping from the Red Book: "William Webster Campbell is a graduate of the University of Michi- gan (1912). Shortly after leaving col- lege he embarked upon a stock career, where his good looks and undeniable talent soon placed him in the front rank of his profession. After seasons of stock in the middle west he went into picture work via Lubin's western studio, though now he is kept busy in strong, red-blooded roles by the Kay Bee, Broncho and Domino companies." Perhaps this is an answer to that querulous query of "Why is a lit?" Recommend Boiling Water in Spite of City Notice That It Is Safe.
