On the Somme front we seized a sec- tion of the enemy's trenches north of Gueudecourt and took 21 prisoners. The enemy's trenches south of Ar- mentieres were entered on a front of some 650 yards. Our troops penetrat- ed deeply into the enemy's position, inflicted many casualties, and captur- ed 44 prisoners. We also raided the enemy's lines southeast of Ypres on a front of 500 yards and reached his support line. Many Germans were killed and sev- eral dugouts and mine shafts were destroyed. Great damage was done the enemy's defenses. One hundred and fourteen prisoners were captured including one officer, and four ma- chine guns were brought back. In all these enterprises our casualties were slight. The total number of prisoners taken in the last 24 hours was 184. Our artillery was active during the day north of the Somme and at a number of points between Armentieres and Ypres. French Paris, Feb. 22.- Both artilleries were active in the region of Butte de Mesnil and on the right bank of the Meuse in the direction of the Cau- rieres wood and Bezon Vaux. Our artillery caused an outbreak of fire in the enemy lines on the western outskirts of Grand Chenay. An enemy surprise attack on one of our small posts in the sector of Cham- brette farm failed.

More than 80 names are also in from this University, although registration is not announced to begin until 3 o'clock this afternoon. Women of the various churches of the city have agreed to serve four meals to the delegates at a special rate. It was formerly planned to have these meals served in the Methodist church, but the increase in numbers of the out of town students necessitates serving in the Presbyterian church at the Ame time. Practically all of the delegates are expected to arrive in Ann Arbor by 6 o'clock this afternoon. Registration opens at 3 o'clock, and University stu- dents and townspeople who wish to attend the conference are asked to sign at Lane hall at that time. Those who wish to take meals with the del- egates from other schools may make arrangements to do so when they reg- ister. A tour of the campus has been made possible foqr the visitors, and each of them is to be furnished with a campus guide-book by the University. Boy scouts and camp fire girls of the city will act as guides to show the visitors to the places where they are to be en- tertained. Sessions of the conference are sched- uled for 7 o'clock this evening, 8:30 and 10:30 Saturday morning, 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and 7 o'clock Sat- urday evening.

"PNEUMATIC" MAIL DELIVERY NOW UP TO HEAD POSTMASTER Washington, Feb. 22.-All the man- datory provisions of the senate amend- ment to the postal bill continuing pneumatic tube service contracts in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chi- cago, St. Louis, and Brooklyn were struck out by the house today, but the provision of $1,000,000 "for the trans- mission of mail by pneumatic tubes or other similar devices" was left in. That would leave the matter of tubes to the postmaster general's discre- tion. The question, however, will come up again when the bill goes to con- ference between the two houses. Dr. N. S.

When -the reunion come. as come it will, the alumni here, almost to a man, will wEl- come it with the utmost enthusiasm. and will give thanks that all differ- ences are settled and forgotten." Present Situation Bad Mr. Sherman, in giving his persional opinion on the matter, says: "I am unqualifiedly and enthusias- tically in favor of renewing relations with the conference colleges, if such an arrangement can be made. I am in favor of forgetting the past and look- ing only to the present" and future. 1 believe that the present situation is productive of positive injury to both the alumni and the University. I be-) lieve that the resumption of relations with the conference colleges would mean a-re-awakening of loyality and spirit that will result in lasting good to' both under-graduates and alumni, as well as to the University itself." WHITNEY THEAE Mat. a ATHLETICLBOARD TO RE-INTER VOTES BIG NINE (Continued from Page One.) The investigations which have been going on in regard to the conference situation for the past several months were kept secret, and it is doubtful if many people knew that the athletic board was contemplating such a step. The "return-to-the-conference" agita- tion has been felt everywhere among Michigan alumni, however, and where the referendum was used a strong sentiment in favor of going back to the West was evidenced.
