The Ann Arbor Civic association has
issued the following letter to the city
merchants relative to the blue direc-
tory issued last week by the Ann Ar-
bor Directory company: "The commit-
tee of the Civic association has passed
upon the directory published by the
Ann Arbor Directory company as
legitimate advertising without recom-
mendation as to its value as advertis-
ing, but the directory is not published
under the auspices of the association
and has no further connection with it."
The book is a classified business and
professional directory of Ann Arbor,
giving the names, addresses and tele-
phone numbers of a number of the
merchants of the city.

STACKS READY APRIL 1
TEMPORARY QUARTERS WILL BE
OCCUPIED ABOUT TEN
MONTHS
Work on the new library stacks has
been progressing rapidly during the
past two weeks, and the contractors
state that unless additional difficulties
are experienced in obtaining materials
this part of the building will be ready
for occupancy by about April 1.
Mr. W. W. Bishop, university li-
brarian, stated yesterday that if the
wings are completed before the spring
vacation, the work of moving the
books and fixtures from the front of
the present building will be done at
that time. The work of razing the part
of the old building now occupied by
the reading rooms, offices and bindery
will be begun as soon as this part of
the building is vacated.
The west wing of the new stacks
will be used as the temporary reading
room, with an entrance at the north-
west corner. The basement of this
wing will be converted into a -tem-
porary reading room for freshman and
sophomore required reading. The
periodical room will be moved to the
second floor of this wing also. The
third and fourth floors will not be oc-
cupied unless the first and second floor
space proves inadequate.
It is expected that the temporary
quarters will be occupied for about ten
months, as the entire building is sched-
uled to be completed by the end of
February, 1918.

UTIS OF PTURE
RECOUNTS CAPTURE OF SHIP ANI)
206 PRISONERS BY CREW
OF SEVEN
Berlin, Jan. 23.-Lieutenant Bade-
witz, who became famous by bringing,
in the British steamer "Yarrowdale"
to Swinemunde after that ship had
been captured by a German raider, told
his ,tory of his experiences to a mem-
ber of the official press bureau today.
When Badewitz was asked how he
managed to elude allied warships on
various seas and enter through the
blockade with only 16 members of a
crew and carrying several hundred
prisoners he replied: "For such ac-
tion you only need the necessary cold
blood, especially if you have to deal'
with Englishmen and determined
bluntness. Besides, you need a hand-
ful of smart boys like mine who have
their hearts in the right place and a
Browning (a make of revolver) in
their pockets. Then you can fish the
devil from his own house."
The sailor told his story with becom-
ing modesty. He was a member of the
famous Moewe's crew and previously
performed the feat on the Moewe's
voyage of taking a captured ship into
Teneriffs with prisoners aboard, and
sinking her despite the port's protec-
tion, thus preventing the ship being
used by Germany's enemies. On this
occasion he had a crew of only seven
men to handle the ship and watch 20&
prisoners.
Telling of his voyage to Swine-
munde, Badewitz said: "The captains
of the captured ships which I had on
board were very sensible and did much
in order to keep their men in check.
The prisoners had counted on touch-
ing at Norway. Among the captured
men were six members of the British
navy, of 'whom three belonged to
English armed merchantmen' serving
as gunners."
Questioned as to how he controlled
his strangely mixed cargo of prisoners,
Badewitz replied: "The discipline was
first rate. Whenever the order was is-
sued 'Every down,' the whole crowd
of prisoners hurried to the lower decks
running like hares." Badewick said
he and his 16 men remained all the
time on the bridge with all the prepar-
ations made to sing the Yarrowdale
at a moment's notice. He said all his
crew knew this would have to be done
in case of revolt.

The Boston Symphony orchestra,
which is the most celebrated organiza-
tion of its kind in existence, will make
its fifth appearance in Ann Arbor next
Friday at 8 o'clock.
This select organization first appear-
ed twice in Ann Arbor during the 90's
and again shortly after. It was in 1913
that it -was least heard 'here, this be-
ing one of the last concerts given in
University Hall. On that occasion; as
on previous occasions, University Hall
was filled to overflowing and many
were turned away.
The orchestra consists of approxi-
mately 100 men, each one of whom is a
virtuoso who has been selected for his
particular place. When a vacancy oc-
curs in its ranks the most capable
man is located and immediately se-
cured. Through its pension fund,
whereby retired players are pensioned,
the inducement for accepting a place
in this orchestra's ranks is strong and
little difficulty is experienced in ob-
taining the best men available.
Once a year this organization makes
a short westerntrip.aThis year it left
Boston on Sunday last. Its itinerary
includes Syracuse on Monday night,
Buffalo Tuesday night, Pittsburg Wed-
nesday night, Cleveland Thursday
night, Anmi Arbor Friday night, and
Detroit on Saturday, whence the or-
ganization will return directly to Bos-
ton to continue its regular concerts
there.
Dr. Carl Muck, who conducts the or-
chestra and who is one of the world's
leading conductors and musicians, will
make his first appearance in this city
at this concert.

AT THE THEATERS
One of the dramatic treats offered
by the present season w l be enjoyed
by an Ann Arbor audience on the even-
ing of Friday, Feb. 2, when John Drew
will appear at the Whitney theater in
"Major Pendennis," a dramatization of
Thackeray's famous novel.
It is said that Langdon Mitchell has
reproduced the spirit and atmosphere
of the great novelist, and has, at the,
same time, provided Mr. Drew with a
character which shows him in an en-
tirely different light from any of the
other justly famous Drew roles.
The lover of Thackeray will have no
difficulty in disassociating Mr. Drew
from the modern drawing room coin-
edies of the past seasons in which he
has starred, and will be wholly de-
lighted in his portrayal of the irascible
but lovable Major Pendennis.
Mr. Drew's admirers, on the other
hand, will contend that the part of the
major aids in no small degree to bring
out the resources of the actor's per-
fect and versatile art. The company
surrounding Mr. Drew is said to sup-
port him ably, and it Is expected that
the production, will be long remem-
bered by those who witness it.
formerly wore, winter and summer,
have been discarded for a toque,
which if not more artistic are at
least better from a humanitarian
standpoint. Upperclassmen are not
as enthusiastic over the innovation
as the first year men. In former
years, it has been a chief source of
amusement to vigoriously thump the
ears of the freshmen when they
were red with the cold. And more-
over, there is a fear that with their
ears covered the freshmen will not
be so likely to hear the good ad-
vice of their older brethern.
Illinois: There are still mnany who
are willing to be martyrs for the
cause of science. The latest enroll-
ed are 40 students in Illinois who
are making experiments in metabol-
ism. To carry on the experiments a
number of them are going to starve,
that is, for a time. To increase the
visibility of the experiments the
thinnest and the fattest members of
the class are relinquishing the food
habit and subsisting on weak tea or
hot water.

A public recital will be given at the

invited to attend.
The following program will be of-

Cambridge, Jan. 23.-Despite the ap-
proaching mid-year examinations, al-
most 800 Harvard men are engaged in
organized athletics, ranging from the
varsity hockey team to the freshman
class in athletics. The varsity sports
of hockey, crew and track are draw-
ing by far the -largest .proportion of
the athletes, but the minor sports are.
also well supported.
Wrestling is becoming more an&
more favored among the Harvard un-
dergraduates, possibly because the'
football coach, Percy Haughton, rec-
ommended it as good training for the
football men. There is a squad of
more than 30 training daily under the,
direction of Coach Sam Anderson and
the prospects in this sport are very',
good.
In fencing and gymnasium the Crim-
son has a promising outlook, but in
swimming a great effort will have to
be made to bring the sport out of the
slump into which it fell last year. Th
number of boxers out ,for individual
glory is larger than last year, but theyt
have not been working long enough tc
show anything.
Minnesota Women Don't Like Bow Tie.
Minneapolis, Jan. 23.-Bow ties ar
not popular with the women students,
of the University of Minnesota. Out of
200 women who were questioned, 197
declared that they did not like them
Rumor has it that the three who ad
mitted liking the bow tie have been
ostracized-by the girls.

Vermont: A course in journalism has
been added to the curriculum at the
University of Vermont. Thirty-six
students, half of them women, have
signed for the course. Work is to
be given in all the fields of business,
management, proof-reading, news
gathering, editorial work, and copy-
editing.
California: California students are
now required to take compulsory
English courses if a paper is turned
in which is found deficient in Eng-
lish. The student is warned when
he is first found to be deficient in
rhetoric, but subsequently, if his
work does not improve, he is report-
ed to the committee on student's
English, and is required to take
work until his English is satisfac-
tory.

ON CULTIVATION OF PLANTS
Dr. Robert T. Fischelis, represent-
ing the H. K. Mulford company, man-
ufacturing and biological chemists of
Philadelphia, spoke yesterday on 'The
Cultivation of Medicinal Plants," under
the auspices of the Prescott club at 4
o'clock in the Chemistry building. Dr.
Fischelis stated that the growing of
plants for the production of medicines
is still in the experimental stage, but
that the relative strength of medicinal
properties in plants may be determin-
ed by chemical processes which is a
step in advance of the method of
evaluating medicinal strength by feed-
ing the plants to animals.
