Chinese Students Stop Coming to Michigan After Dr. Angell 's Death AT THE GARRICK The death of President-Emeritus James B. Angell a year ago is said by many to be affecting the number of Chinese students in the University of Michigan. Michigan, at present, has about 35 Chinese students. One year before Dr. Angell's death, she had more than 60, the largest number in attendance at any college in the country. It is a known fact that Dr. Angell's presence here served to draw to the University many Chinese students who would otherwise have attended eastern universities. Dr. Angell's service as the American ambassador to China won him the friendship and respect of the entire Chinese people; so much so, that the Chinese govern- ment has officially recognized its friendship for Dr. Angell by donating to the University several Chinese col- lections. The friendly attitude of the Chinese government was reflected in the at- titude of the large number of Chinese students sent here annually by their government in accordance with the treaty made with the United States at the close of the Boxer uprising. The majority of the newly emigrated stu- dents professed a preference for Mich- igan and not a little persuasion was sometimes used, it is said, to prevent too large a number from congregating here to the exclusion of other colleges. Michigan has therefore been known for the large number of Chinese stu- dents it attracted. Now, however, there is said to be a falling off. Chinese students are said to be joining the eastern colleges in as large a propor- tion as they were wont once to join Michigan. This movement to eastern colleges, however, is expected by the Chinese now at Michigan, to have a reaction. Michigan, they say, is too firmly con- nected in the Chinese, with liberal- ness, and sympathy, to allow it so soon to be forgotten. Mme. Alla Nazimova will appear a± the Garrick theater, Detroit, for the week beginning yesterday in Austin Adam's American drama, " 'Ception' Shoals." Few plays this season have attract- ed as much attention as this novel dramatic work. The theme of the story is the ignorance of Eve, the niece of the keeper of the Conception Shoals lighthouse. Blake the owner and skip- per of the Driftwood, a yacht which is stuck off the lighthouse is instru- mental in affecting the education of Eve in the mysteries of;life. At the end of the play, Eve leaves her uncle locked in the lighthouse and makes her final farewell into the waves below. Concrete Poured for Final Wall Late Last Week and Present Weath- er Favors Work Concrete was poured for the last footings of the new Michigan Union foundation late last week, a continu- ous wall now surrounding the excava- tion. Work has progressed, on the whole, satisfactorily though the contractors have been held up several times by inclement weather and shortage of supplies. At present the contract is about up to schedule time, and it is expected that the fouhdation will be completed at the specified date, April 1. Forms have been made for the series of columns which will support the.floor and concrete will be poured for them this week. A portion of the floor will also be laid. Workmen are now engaged in cleaning up the south- east corner of the big hole preparatory to beginning work upon the swimming pool. Gravel has been removed from sev- eral squares of the sub-basement, though a few hundred yards still re- main at the west end of the basement which is deeper tha'n the rest of the excavation. More than 3,000 yards of gravel has been derricked from the hole and will remain upon the grounds for grading and building purposes. The concrete has proved entirely satisfactory. In rem'oving a portion of one of the piers yesterday it was found that hard, flinty stones broke and split before they loosened from the cement. This is considered a severe test when it is known that the concrete will not set to its full ex- tent until warm weather. O You .engineers! Here 's a New One U. S. Marines Start Maddening Puzzle and Entire City Asks for Aid in Plight Washington, March 12.-With a cry for help that an entire city of 7,000 may be saved ftom total collapse and its inhabitants safeguarded against possible examination for insanity a newspaperman, of Visalia, California, has appealed to the United States, marines to give him the answer to a puzzle published in his paper, which was started by them. After trying for days the mayor and other officials, the police and fire departments, and other trigonometrical experts have failed to solve it. Here's the puzzle: There are three houses' in a row with a gas plant, a steam plant, and a water plant in the rear of them, and the grand central idea is to run a pipe line from each plant to each house without crossing line or going through a house. Hereafter the citizens of Visalia who bump into metaphysical or other per- plexities will "Tell it to the marines." iheostat Invenfe6 by Iowa Proessor lowa City, Ia., March 12.-A fool- proof and easily connected rheostat has been devised by an Iowa professor and put on the market.

'DECISIONS' IS SUBJECT .13HR.BLACK'S LECTURE LACK OF THAT QUALITY IN MAN MAKES HIM SPORT OF CHANCE "Decisions" was the subject of Dr. Hugh Black of the Union Philological seminary, who lectured last night at the Presbyterian church. Dr. Black emphasised the importance of making decisions and acting accordingly. "The man without decision," he said, "is the victim and sprt of anything that can command him. Lack of de- cision is the ruin of all character. "The college student especially is inclined to hesitate and remain in doubt. He comes to college confused and leaves it still without decision, because he does not attempt to as- semble and assort his knowledge into concrete form." Touching on the European war, Dr. Black observed that the Christian end is not peace and neutrality in the face of a moral issue. Belgium could have secured peace and *thereby received great pecuniary profit, but it would have been at the price of dishonor. Her decision to choose honor instead of remainint indifferent, he declared, will glorify her forever in the pages of history. Dr. Black has been secured to de- liver the baccalaureate address here June 24. Dartmouth Votes on Military Training Hanover, N. H., March 12.-In an ef- fort to hang the cloak of Jingoism in the closet and to hush the coo of the doves as wbll, during the present in- ternational crisis, the Dartmouth, daily newspaper of Dartmouth college, is preparing to learn the sentiment of the campus by means of a straw vote. A questionaire has already been sub- mitted to the students and after a few days consideration the questions will be voted upon in a straw vote. Op- portunity will thus be given to those who wish to voice their sentiments in the matter of military training, and will also allow expression to the ad- vocates of "let the people vote" plan.
