Maud Fay, Christine Miller, and Ethel
Leginska Other Stars New
to Ann Arbor
Galli-Curci, Martinelli, Matzenauer,
Homer, Fay, Leginska, .Hinshaw,
Holmquist, Miller, Biggs, and Kings-
ton, all musicians of distinction, will
make up the role of artists who will
appear at the next May Festival, May
2, 3, 4, and 5, according to an an-
nouncement made by Dr. Albert A.
Stanley, director of the Univtersity
School of Music. The list includes
a number of former favorites and sev-
eral distinguished musicians who will
make their Ann Arbor debuts at this
time.
Amelita Galli-Curci, the famous
Spanish-Italian coloratura soprano,
who has made such a pronounced
sensation in the musical world, and
who is heralded as the greatest mu-
sical attraction since New York went
wild with enthusiasm at the appear-
ance of Jennie Lind. She will be the
attraction Friday evening.
Maud Fay, soprano of the Metro-
politan Opera company, whose splen-
did work there and with the Munich
Royal Opera company is familiar to
all, will take the part of Aida at the
Saturday, evening performance.
Christine Miller, an American con-
tralto of recognized merit, will make
her Ann Arbor debut in the "Dream
of Gerontius" Thursday evening. Her
record is enviable and she ranks as
one of the leading oratorio artists.
Woman Pianist Plays Friday.
Ethel Laginska, pianist, who is
known as the "Paderewski among
women," will be heard in the Friday
afternoon program in which the chil-
dren's chorus will also take part. Miss
Leginska is an English girl who
adopted a Russian name. Her career
has been spectacular and in a short
time she has been able to attain the
very front rank of the world's great
piano virtuosos.
Mme. Louise Homer, contralto,'
whose artistic performances, both in
concert and at the Metropolitan opera
house, are familiar to all, will be
heard in a miscellaneous program at
the first concert Wednesday after-
noon. She will sing several arias.
Margarete Matzenauer, contralto,
who made such a profound impression
at the festival last year and whose
brilliant record at the Metropolitan
and in Europe is unexcelled, will sing
the role of Amneris Saturday evening.
Morgan Kingston, tenor, whose ad-
miral work' as Samson at last year's
festival will long be remembered, will
be heard in "The Dream of Gerontius"
Thursday evening. His work both in
opera and in concert has been such
as to place him among the first.
Martinelli, Tenor, on Saturday.
Giovonni Martinelli, tenor, appeared
at the Friday evening concert of the
festival two years ago on short notice,
taking the place made vacant by the
inability of John McCormack to ap-
pear. He made a sensation and de-
lighted the audience which packed
Hill auditorium. At the Metropolitan
opera house he is second only to the
great Caruso. As Rhadames, Satur-
day evening, he will be heard to ad-
vantage in a role particularly suited
to him.
William Wade Hinshaw, late of the
Metropolitan Opera company, will
take the part of Ramphis. Mr. Hin-
shaw is a brilliant artist, as will be
recalled by those who were able to
hear him' at his appearance in Ann
Arbor several years ago. His work
is always of a high order and his
operatic career fits him particularly
well for the difficult role allotted to
him.
Gustaf Holmquist, bass, will be
heard on two occasions, in the "Dream

of Gerontius," Thursday evening, and
in "Aida" Saturday evening. His
splendid work last year was such as
to make his re-engagement a fore-
gone conclusion. He is a real bass of

SARAH BERNHARDT
CANCELS DATE HERE
Will Not Play in Ann Arbor This
Week Buie May Appear
in Spring
Sarah Bernhardt, who, according to
an early report, was to have ap-
peared in Ann Arbor this week under
the combined auspices of the Wom-
en's league and the Ann Arbor Wom-
en's club, has been unable to com-
plete her trip through the south in
time to fill an engagement here dur-
ing the winter. Her manager was in
Ann Arbor last week and inspected
Hill auditorium, so there is a good
prospect that she will give a recital in
April. The date will probably be def-
initely fixed as soon as her Chicago
engagement has been finally arranged.
Hazel Giddings, '17, chairman of
the dramatic committee of the Wom-
on's league, and Mrs. Edward Croark-
in of the Women's club are in charge
of the effort to bring "the divine
Sarah" to Ann Arbor.

Largest Appropriation for Naval De-
fense in History of Country
Passed by Big Majority
EMPOWERS PRESIDENT TO MAN
SHIP YARDS IN EMERGENCIES
Republican Amendment Reaffirms De-
termination of U. S. to Mediate,
Disagreements
Washington, Feb. 13.-Carrying a
total of more than $369,000,000, the
largest appropriation for naval de-
fense in the history of the country,
the navy bill passed the house this
afternoon by a vote of 353 to 23.
Amendments carried authorize the
president to commandeer private ship
yards and munitions plant "if a na-
tional emergency arises prior to
March 1, 1918," and provides $1,000,-
000 for the purchase of basic aero-
plane patents.
Construction Authorizations.
The bill authorizes the construction
of three battleships for a total. of
more than $84,000,000, one battle
cruiser at more than $26,000,000, three
scout cruisers for a total of $20,000,-
000, 15 destroyers for a total of $26,-
000,000, one destroyer tender for $2,-
800,000, one submarine tender at $2,-
200,000, and 18 coast submarines at a
total of $25,000,000. "Little navy"
men, unmoved by the present interna-
tional crisis, rallied in opposition to
the measures.
The navy bill was passed virtually
as reported by the committee and en-
dorsed by Secretary Daniels. The
house, however, refused to adopt
Daniel's recommendations that ship
yard employees must be subject to
draft in case of national emergency,
and that any person who induces an
employee engaged on government
work in time of national emergency
to leave his work, should be punished.
An amendment by Chairman Padgett'
asking $150,000,000 for immediate
completion of ships under construc-
tion was thrown out on a point of or-
der.
Mann Reads Amendment.
An amendment by the Republican
floor leader, Mann, which was adopted
read:
"It is hereby reaffirmed to be the
policy of the United States to adjust
and settle its international disputes
through mediation and arbitration to
the end that war may be honorably
avoided."
The army appropriaion bill carry-
ing $247,000,000 is expected to come
up Thursday.

.Pick This Year 's
Comedy Club Play
Jerome K. Jerome's Comedy, "Miss
Hobbs," Selected for Annual
Production
Jerome K. Jerome's English comedy
"Miss Hobbs," has been chosen by the
Comedy club for its annual produc-
tion. Tryouts for the cast will be held
held either the last part of this week
or the first part of next. According
to present plans the play will be pre-
sented about the middle of the sem-
ester.
"Miss Hobbs" is a lively comedy
bordering on a farce and deals with a
type of "emancipated" woman -who an-
nounces her views in an assembly
which met at the home of a friend.
In the audience is a young man, a
friend of the family, who wages an-
other gentleman that he will kiss the
"new" type of young woman ere a
month has passed. He makes a note
of the bet in a pocket' note book, which
he loses. Later Miss Hobbs finds it.
A surprising number of complications
grow out of this incident and end up
with a reciprocated love affair in
which the betting gentleman wins both
the wager and Miss Hobbs.

U-BOAT KILLS FIVE
London, Feb. 13.-Five per-
sons were killed when a sub-
marine sunk the 11,999 ton
White Star liner Afric. Seven-
teen of the crew are said to be
missing. The Afric was on gov-
ernment service.
Washington, Feb. 13. - The
smallest tonnage noted in any
one day since Germanystarted
U-boat blockade was reported
by Consul General Skinner at
London to the state department
today in Lloyd's reports which
showed only 6,808 tons sunk.
The report was made before the
White Star liner Afric was sunk.
BRITISH WARSHIPS ACT
AS STEAMSHIP CONVOYS
Seven Ships Arrive from English
Ports Reporting Protection
During Atlantic Trip
New York, Feb. 13.--Seven steam-
ers from various British ports
reached New York harbor today
within a few hours of each other.
This immediately suggested to ship-
ping men thit the vessels had been
convoyed across the Atlantic in a
body, and when passengers were in-
terviewed, they confirmed the convic-
tion that the admiralty had evolved
such a scheme for overcoming the
submarine menace.
When the Cunard liner Ascana,
which was among today's arrivals,
left Liverpool, 50 merchantmen were
concentrated near by awaiting their
convoy. As warships arrived the
steamers were escorted off on their
voyages in groups of three and four.
While traversing waters about Eng-
land, trawlers went ahead of the
ships with heavy steel nets stretched
between them to sweep up mines, and
guard against torpedoes, the pas-
sengers said.
For two days the convoy remained
constantly in sight of the liners and
merchant vessels. After that time
warships could just be distinguished
on the horizon.

HINT ISSENTION
OVER ISSUES IN
CAINETMEETING-1
MEMBERS CLOSE MOUTHED AT
END OF LONGEST SESSION
SINCE BREAK
U.S. GOVERNMENT MAY
TAKE FURTHER ACTION
Guesses Are Rife Concerning Reason
for President's Activity in
Seclusion
Washington, Feb. 13.-The subject
of the Yarrowdale prisoners detained
in Germany shared in importance
with the issue as to the arming of
American merchant ships, in today's
cabinet meeting. This developed a
longer session even than that at
which the president and his advisers
formulated plans for breaking off re-
lations with. Germany. It was in ses-
sion about two hours and 20 minutes.
There was strong indication that some
difference of opinion developed in the
meeting over the question of arming
merchantmen.
Secretary Daniels, always slow to
take any belligerent step, came out of
the cabinet room looking very grave,
with his face slightly flushed. He re-
fused absolutely to discuss any ques-
tion. Secretary Lansing was equally
short in dismissing the situation. He
said no decision had been reached, no
announcement would be made today,
and none in the near future so'far as
he knew. Other members of the cab-
inet when approached would say only
"not a word today."
Cabinet Takes Birdseye View.
It was learned in other quarters
that the cabinet canvassed every fea-
ture of the international situation.
Belief that this government may be
about to make another step bearing
on the situation grew when, after
working in his study until after mid-
night, President Wilson gave up his
usual morning golf game and spent
his entire time in seclusion in his
study. No word was forthcoming
from the White House as to what the
president was working on.
Among the "guesses" as to what
might be in the air were:
A communication to Austria with
whom negotiations have been going
on for 10 days following the official
report of the German U-boat decree;
a possible communication to neutrals;
or a possible address to congress re-
garding the arming of merchant
ships.
Carranza Stand Rouses Concern.
Four matters of tremendous im-
portance are awaiting decision by the
government. The mostimportant of
these is the grave possibility behind
General Carranza's move to stop ship-
ments of food, oil and munitions from
Mexico to belligerents. Carranza of-
ficials have frequently boasted of
their friendship for the German and
Japanese governments, and it was ad-
mitted that developments in Mexico
were being watched carefully.
BEGIN TO DISTRIBUTE MARKS

Grade cards for students In the

row, or at the latest Friday morning.

tee, and Prof. John R.Brumm, direct-
or, are to be the judges, and each girl

Big Advance in Canada Trade
Ottawa, Canada, Feb. 13.-The ag-
gregate trade of Canada is now well
over the $2,000,000,000 mark. For the
year ending Nov. 30 last it reached the
total of $2,060,501,658.

President Harry B. Hutchins has
received word from Captain William
Bryden of the U. S. field artillery
that an army officer has been detailed
by the government as instructor in
military training for the University.
The officer will arrive within a few
days to inspect and report upon con-
ditions prevailing here. After the in-
spection definite arrangements will
be made as to the amount of credit
to be awarded for the proposed
courses of instruction.
At the present time there are 140
students enrolled, but it is desired
that at least 500 sign the list in order
to form a battalion and make an ex-
cellent showing when the officer ar-
rives. The course is open to anyone
and carries no obligations to the gov-
ernment. One night a week is devoted
to practical training and drilling in
Waterman gymnasium.
All men who have signed the roll,
those desiring to join, and those wha
are in the least way interested are
urged to bring tennis shoes to Water-
man gymnasium this evening.

retary. The office where the books

pal aim of the exchange is to secure

could otherwise.
Illinois Passes State Wide Bill
Springfield, Ill., Feb. 13.-The state
wide prohibition bill passed the sen-

' Saxonian Survivors Landed
London, Feb. 13.-Survivors of the
steamer Saxonian landed today re-
ported that when that vessel was
sunk Feb. 7 by a submarine, she did
not attempt to escape, or to use her
wireless. There were three Americans
in the Saxonian's crew, but until the
remainder of the survivors land to-
morrow it is not known whether any
of these lost their lives.
