PRICE FIVE CE NEW EMPEROR OF AU STRI IAHUN GARY EXERCISES POWER, FIRST ACT OF CHARLES EIGHTH TO CONFIRM LATE RULER'S APPOINTMENTS FRONTS COMPARATIVELY QUIET Berlin Says Franco-Serbian Army Ad- vaneing North of Monastir Meets Repulse London, Nov. 23.--Emperor Charles the Eighth of Austria-Hungary, new ruler in the place where until Tues-- day sat the aged Francis Josef, today excerised his first power as sovereign. He issued orders confirming appoint- ments of all of the ministers which his ;grand uncle had established in power. Vienna dispatches also said he had issued the following manifesto: "Our aim has not yet been achieved. The enemy's illusion of their ability to overthrow my monarchy and those of my allies is as yet not shattered. I know I am in harmony with my peo- ple in my unbending decision to con- tinue the struggle until peace is as- sured, and to the monarchy existence' and deve pment are assured. I will do all in my power to banish as soon as possible the horrors and sacrifices of war, and to secure peace." British Fall to Gain in Attacks. Berlin, Nov. 23.-British attacks south of Guedecourt and assaults by the French against the northwest edge of St. Pierre Yaast wood failed last night. IRoumanian Forces Occupy Mt. Toaca Bunharest, Nov. 23.-In its second official statement of the day, the war office declared Roumanian troops after powerful artillery preparations, had attacked and occupied Mt. Toaca and Tolana Marcine, capturing an enemy machine gun and repulsing a counter attack: Aside from the Jiul valley, the statement said the situation was prac- tically unchanged. Retirement from the Jiul valley has been announced in a previous statement. Democracy May Gain in Austria. New York, Nov. 23.-A large gain for democracy in Austria-Hungary with increasing fall in the power of the Teutonic militarists may be the most important result of the Arch- duke Carl's ascension to the Hapsburg throne. The new emperor was not brought up as a probable ruler of the most aristocratic and precedent governed country in Europe. He is only a grand- nephew of the late Francis Josef and in his youth there were several lives between him and the imperial throne. For this reason he was educated much more informally than if the chance of his succession to the throne had been stronger. He attended public school for a time, and imbibed a strong liking for de- Mocracy which never has left him. He has the reputation of being the best "mixer" Europe has among her mod- ern monarchs, with the possible ex- ception of the late King Leopold of Belgium. The attitude of the new emperor to- wards liberal government is under- stood to approximate more nearly the learnings of the present German kais- er's father, than the militaristic in- clinations of the kaiser himself. For this reason the possibility of differ- ences developing between the German and Austria-Hungary thrones must be taken into consideration by the states of the central empires. 2,000,000 Bushels of Wheat for Canada Ottawa, Ontario, Nov. 2'.-About 2,- 000,000 bushels of wheat will be avail- able for export this year, according to the latest departmental estimates which place the total Canadian crop at 186,406,000 bushels.

DEAN WILLIAMS TALKS TODAY Head of Columbia Journalism School to Give Two Lectures Dean Talcott Williams, head of the Pulitzer school of journalism at Co- lumbia JUniversity, will give an ad- dress today at 3 o'clock in Tappan hall. He will give another address at 4:30 as a part of the program of the wom-- en's vocational conference, and his subject will be "Women in Journal- ism." Both these addresses will be open to the public, and all those Inter- ested s/n journalism are invited to at- tend. Dean Williams has been head of the Pulitzer school of journalism since 1913. This school Was established by means of a million dollar fund left for that purpose by the late Joseph Pul- itzer, editor of the New York World. Mr. Williams is a graduate of Am- herst college. He has had a long career of practical newspaper experi- once. He has at various times been connected with the New York World, the New York Sun, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Springfield Republican, and the Philadelphia Press. Besides his work as a journalist and as a teacher, he has written various articles on economic subjects and an appreciation of Horace Howard Fur-; ness, the Shakespearean critic. LAUDS CANADIAN SHELL SHOPS British 31lnister of Munitions Praises * Dominion's Factories London, Nov. 23.-Canada's part in1 the war was extolled in highest terms today by the British minister of muni- tions, the Honorable Edwin Samuel Montague, speaking at a luncheon in honor of J. W. Flavelle chairman of Cana Ta's munition board. "When victory is achieved," he said, "the full story of Canada's work will be told to her everlasting credit. The great Dominion's shell factory, which Sir Sam Hughes organized, and which Mr. Flavelle has now takn over, is be- coming more and more valuable daily, now covering 4,000 miles, for that is the Canadian area producing muni- tions. "The Canadian munitions board cre- ated a new industry of wonderful ca- pacity and output. Our enemies are increasing their output and planning far into the future. Our production is vast, but the consumption of our troops and those of the allies in this great long war means exhaustion of re-, sources. When they are exhausted we must incriasingly look to the patriot- ism and economic sacrifees of all, parts of our empire." Student implicated in Ticket Scalping athletic authorities stated last night they had secured absolute proof of one{ instance of ticket scalping by a stu- dent in the University. The student's name was not divulged and it will be several days before any official action will be taken, the board in control de- ferring action in the hope that thei names of more of the offenders can bet seenred. THIRD DORMITORYI SEEN FOR WOMEN Alumnae of the Entire Country Con- tribute to New Building; Esti- mate Cost at $100,000 GIRLS' GLEE CLUB TO ASSIST The movement for a third dormitory for Michigan women has received a de- cided impetus in the pledging of a thousand dollars by the Michigan wom- en of Grand Rapids. One-fifth of this sum has already been paid. The plan for the new dormitory is being fostered by the Micngan women of Detroit, who are interesting the women alumni of the entire country. The building is to cost something in the neighborhood of $100,000 and will accommodate from 50 to 70 girls. An especial effort will be made to house those girls who are in a measure self- supporting, and are now living in vari- ous private families in the city. A co-operative work room will be pro- vided in which the girls can do ap- proximately the same work they have been doing in the various houses, but the time required for this work will be systematically divided, thus allow- ing more time for recreation and par- ticipation in campus activities. This is somewhat lke the plan which was for many years in operation at Mt. Holyoke. The share which the Michigan alumnae have in the receipts of the county fair to be given in Detroit next week is to be given to the dormitory fund. The Girls' Glee club will sing at the county fair, and also at a con- cert for the benefit of the dormitory to be given in Grand Rapids in the near future. The Women's league has turned over to this fund nearly $4,000 in pledges,which were given to it for the first dormitory. POSTMASTERS TO AID MARINE CORPS IN SECURING RECRUITS Washington, D. C., Nov. 23.-Post- masters are to lend assistance to the United States marines in the securing of recruits and will be paid $5.00 for each accepted applicant, according to an official announcement made by the major general commandant of that or-, ganization. Hereafter the military-looking youth who appears at the postoffice may fail to be attracted by the gaily colored poster depicting the life of a marine, but he can scarcely escape the ap- praising eye of the postmaster or the latter's query: "Say young fellow- why don't you join the marines?" Scenario for Junior Girls' Play Chosen The scenario for the 1917 junior girls' play'was chosen at a meeting of the committee Wednesday night. The competition is reopened for the dia- logue of the play which may be writ- ten by anyone interested. The author of the scenario will be announced later. All girls interested in writing the dia- logue are especially urged to do so, in order that the best possible book may be secured. Red Cross Seals Selling Fast The Michigan Anti-tuberculosis as- sociation is daly receiving reorders of Christmas Red Cross seals. The city of Benton Harbor ordered 50,000 seals the first part of this month. Yester- day the association received a reorder of 200,000 from them. St. Joseph coun- ty, Michigan, ordered 20,000 in the first place and now they want 30 000 more seals. Greeks Figure in Sanguinary Contest More than 20 cuts about the face and neck were sustained by Tom Manos in a fight with a fellow Greek at Broad- way and Wall streets yesterday after- noon. The assailant, Dan Katapolis, is held for examination next Wednes- day with bail fixed at $500. A wood- worker's chisel was the weapon used. Cremate London's Body Today Santa Rosa, Cal., Nov. 23.-Without ceremony of any kind, the body of Jack London, novelist and adventurer, will be cremated at noon tomorrow at the Oakland crematory. No minister or priest will pronounce a benediction. No prayers will be said, no choir will sing hymns. Believing that death ends all and that there is no hereafter, London often said that when he died he wished to be cremated and buried without ostentation. His wish will be carried out. Only his wife, daughters and sister will accompany the body to the crematory. His mother, Mrs. Flora London is ill in her Oakland home and has not been informed of her son's death. London's secretary to- day estimated that the novelist's income from his writings at the time of his death averaged at about 20 cents a word. He habitually wrote 1,000 words a day and this would make his annual income from new literary work about $53,000 a year. At the time of his death London was working on a novel of Hawaiian life called "Cherry," which was well advanced. It is ex- pected Mrs. London will complete the novel herself, or will engage some other writer to complete it. PROF HATUR CROSS TO SPEAK AT IG SMOKER Takes Place of Prof. Herbert Sadler at Football Meeting Tomor- row Night Prof. Arthur Cross, of the history department, will speak at the football smoker tomorrow night, in place of Prof. Herbert C. Sadler. of the engin- eering college. The smoker will be- gin at 7:30 o'clock and Weinberg's coliseum is expected to be filled. Ed- win Palmer, '17, chairman of the con- mittee in charge, stated yesterday that the sale of tickets indicates a larger crowd than usual. 'When the students arrive at the coliseum they will find cigarettes. corncob pipes, tobacco, cider and doughnuts, in quantities to keep them busy all evening "stowing away the chov." And when the air is blue, James Schermerhorn, of Detroit, will get up and deliver a speech which is confidently believed to eclipse his wit- ty discourse given at the smoker two years ago, when he captivated the house with his "Latest News From the Front." Fourteen "M's" are to be given out to members of the Varsity squad as a recognition of their work on the 1916 Michigan football team. The band, the glee club, and quartet or two will help keep things moving. And every student present will have a sticky tin cup or two to take home as a memento of the occasion.

UNION MINSTRELS TO PRESENTCATCHY CTS Goldstick and Wood Put on Mirth- provoking Specialties; Mus- ical Program Large Hilliard Goldstick, '17D, uncorked a "dope" act at the Union Minstrels re- hearsal yesterday that would cause one who was unaware that it was only acting, to believe that Mr. Goldstick was a confirmed "snowbird." In ad- dition to the minstrel part, a num- ber of the speciality acts were gone through for the first time. Morrison C. Wood, '17, in an impersonation of Harry Lauder, which he has done pro- fessionally, brought roars of laughter from the small audience that was pres- ent. Abraham Gornetsky, '17, musical director for the entertainment, an- nounced that he would have a 14 piece orchestra to play the 20 "rags" and ballads on the program. Four of these numbers will be sung by quartets, two by the "colored" artists, and two by a double quartet comprising some of the best voices on the campus.r Tickets are going fast at the Union, and many telephone calls from facul- ty members presage a full house Tues- day night. Small POX Still Threatening' Ypsi A smallpox epidemic is still threat- ening Ypsilanti. Miss Marie Rander- son, a school teacher of Saline, is the latest victim, and was removed to the contagious ward In the University hos- pital yesterday morning. There are now 20 cases of smallpox among the students of the Ypsilanti normal. Four patients were released from their quarantine last week. The total number of cases this year have been 33. Three out of that number were sent to their homes to be treated. Dr. Cummings of the University health service urgently requests all students who have not been vaccinated for several years, to go to the depart- ment and be treated at once. If all the students of the University attend to this matter and cease visiting Ypsi- lanti as much as possible, the danger of a general epidemic will be mini- mized. Contrary to recent reports, the disease is not decreasing but is in- creasing with alarming proportions. Unless the warnings are seriously taken, drastic measures will have to be introduced. P. D. Buchanan, '18, Expelled R. D. Buchanan, '18, who was ar- rested Wednesday morning on an as- sault and battery charge, was ex- pelled yesterday afternoon by the facultyof the literary college at a special meeting called for the purpose of considering his case. Buchanan was released from jail Wednesday upon paying a fine of $50. APPLY KNOWLEDGE SAYS DEAN ANOLD1. IN FIRST AD DRS VOCATIONAL CONFERENCE ALSO HEARS MISS STEARNS ON LIBRARY WORK FIVE SPEAKERS ON TODAYSB ILL Dean Taleott Williams, Mrs. Gertrude Martin, and Miss Gertrude Login to Speak "What is Involved in Vocational Training" was the subject of the first address of the third annual Vocation- al conference, given yesterday after- noon, Dean Sarah Louise Arnold, the speaker, said in part: "We never see the field of women'-' work clearly unless we realize that it; involves both a major and a minor vo- cation. Maintaining one's self is only a minor vocation, yet success in this depends on six things, knowledge, power to use this knowledge, skill, judgment, professional spirit, and de- votion to one's work. Apprenticeship gives the necessary training and or- ganized schooling gives the interpreta- tion of experience. Theoretically, a college training should make you able to face the situations which confront you, but this is not always the case -too many things in college get into a notebook and never get any further. You must learn by working to apply your knowledge." Dean Arnold mentioned the fact that for the last 15 years Simmons College has been studying vocations for wo- men. There are at present 1,100 stu- dents in that institution, of whom 159 are graduates of other colleges. Miss Letitia Stearns, founder of the first library "children rooms" in the country, also addressed this meeting of the conference, taking as her topic tle opportunities of library work. "The tremendous problems before us today can be solved only by much thinking and much reading," said Miss Stearns. "Formerly, librarians were useful merely as custodians of books; but their task now is to get the right kind of books into the hands of a large num- ber of people. The modern library has three functions, to get people to read good books, to serve as a community center, and to help make better cit- izens." The method of placing the so- called travelling libraries was also described by Miss Stearns, who thinks the influence of good books in a home cannot be over-emphasized. The third speaker of the afternoon was Miss Mary Malcomson, of the Col- legiate Bureau of Occupations in De- troit, who is here to take the registra- tion of any girls who intend doing vo- cational work next year. There are many splendid opportunities in Detroit for college women with busThess train- ing, according to Miss Malcomson, and these opportunities she will discuss in detail at the Saturday luncheon. Speaking of this luncheon, Dean Jor- dan said, "It is very valuable for girls to attend this meeting, as Miss Mal- comson is planning to outline at that time her plans for actually placin girls in positions following their grad- uation." Miss Helen Humphreys, '16, former president of the Women's league, who introduced the speakers, also urged those present at today's meeting to attend the luncheon. The second session of the conference was in the nature of an informal re- ception at Newberry residence. Dean Jordan introduced Dean Arnold, who reviewed briefly the history of Sim- mons College and explained the methods and purposes of its various schools. "Simmons College is a vocation- al experiment," said Miss Arnold. "It was the idea of John Simmons to es- tablish a college where women might have adequate technical training for a definite vocation together with their academic work. Such an institution he provided for in his will, and Simmons College opened in 1902 with four de- partments, training women .in the fields of secretarial work, library work, home economics, and agriculture and horticulture. The college has now added five other schools, where wo- men may fit themselves for institution- al management, scientific research, so- cial service, teaching of salesmanship, and positions in the field of public health.
