EXPECT GERMN'DRIV ON IIL__ND RUSSIA9 FOOD SHORTAGE PINCHES BOTH COUNTRIES SAY GOVERN- MENT OFFICIALS Washington, March 12.-Germany is not the only one of the warring na- tions on its last legs. Italyand Rus- sia are making a ,last stand, accord- ing to war department information, given out here today. Italy is in the same position as Ger- many when it comes to food, for her production is unequal to the demand, and coal shortage, a vital matter dur- ing the war, is another cause for Italy's weakening. This official predicted that Germany would start a great offensive against Italy within a short time, and by crushing Italy, Germany could estab- lish a submarine base at the southern toe of Italy, which would be one of the most effective points for the opera- tion of undersea boats in southern Eu- rope. Russia's food situation is no better than that of Italy. Russia is able to produce enough food, but her trans- portation facilities are inadequate. As a result, Russia is, or will be soon, hungry in spite of food. If Russia's man-power could be utilized, the war would be soon ended, but owing to the poor transportation facilities, shortage of arms and equip- ment, about 10,000,000 Russians, other- wise available for military purposes, are practically useless. IRON PANELS ON LIBRARY TOO LARVE, HAVE TO CUT 'EM DOWN' Among the numerous delays on the new additions to the : Library(, the east wing contributed its share yes- terday, accounted for, by a mistake due to the iron workers. The cast iron panels which are to be placed on the outside ,of the building, were found to be too wide. The, iron constructors in placing the angle iron did not al- low for its thickness and consequently the panels are from a half to nine- sixteenths of an inch too large. At present a University employee is cutting the plates to the required size on one of the machines in the en- gineering shop. This work on an aver- age takes the machinist two hours at a cost of 70 cents per hour, not only meaning a delay in the completion of the wing, but an extra expense to the contractors. Prof. C. Bonner to Speak on Play Prof. Campbell Bonner of the Greek department will address the Classical club at 8 o'clock Thursday evening in Memorial hall. Professor Bonner's talk will concern the coming Greek play, "Iphigenia in Turis." Conservatism in future trade is the prediction made in the latest news let- ter issued by Bradstreet. This con- servatism is due to prevailing high prices rather than to the uncertainty of international relations. There also arises the question whether certain ar- ticle's of food have not reached a price which prohibits their consumption. However, wholesale and jobbing trade is quite active. Retail trade is hampered somewhat by weather and road conditions. The boat building in- dustry is working to its full capacity. Automobile manufacturers report also heavy sales. The car shortage has modified some- what,-but is still a serious menace, especially to the lumber industry. A large number of lumber salesmen have been called in. Steel and iron show climbing tendencies. In the foodstuffs, eggs and potatoes have declined, but beef, prk, and mutton show a de- cided increase. Wheat and flour exports from North America during the week ending March 8 total 5,619,053 bushels, an in- crease of 1,106,716 bushels over the week previous. Corn exports aggre- gate 1,284,188 bushels, a decrease of 329,932 bushels. Bank clearing for the week are $5,720,502,000, showing an increase ofksix per cent over the preceding week. Conditions in Canada parallel to some extent those in the United States. Wholesale trade in dry goods is espe- cially active, but there is difficulty in getting the material from the mills. The export of lumber is seriously af- fected by the British embargo. Bank clearings show a large increase. RANK OSERATORY HIGH IN SCIENCE (Continued from Page One.) the Lick observatory, was elected di- rector of the Observatory. In the winter of 1905-06, the Observ- atory library and the residence of the director were reconstructed and en- larged, in 1916 the shop was estab- lished and repairs to the instruments begun, in 1907 the construction of the large reflecting telescope was under- taken, in 1908 the students' observatory was moved to a new location and a new building added to the original ob- servatory having a dome for the large reflecting telescope, clock and class rooms laboratory, photographic dark rooms and offices. In 1910 the grounds were enlarged by the addition of 26 acres of land. Made Director of La Plata In 1911 an arrangement was made with the Universidad Nacional de La Plata by which Professor Hussey be- came director of La Plata observatory, At this time Prof. Ralph H. Curtiss became assistant director of the Ob- servatory, in full charge during the absence of Professor Hussey. First to Give Instruction The University of Michigan was one of the first to give advanced instruc- tion in theoretical and practical as- tronomy. As a result of this policy, extending over more than half a cen- tury, many important astronomical positions have been filled by those who have studied here, and the work cone by these men has had a wide in- fluence on the development of as- tronomy in this country. What is now the principal building of the Observatory was begun in 1908 and completed the following year, with the exception of parts of the dome. It has a frontage of 44 feet on the north and a length of 112 feet from north to south. It terminates in the south end in a ciricular wall 43 feet high, which supports the 40 foot dome of the large reflecting telescope. The building has two stories, and a basement which is practically above the level of the ground. The main room contains of- fices, clock room, and class rooms. The second contains offices and dark rooms. The basemnent contains labora- Orpheum Theatre Matinees, :o-3:30; Evening, 6:45, 8:T5. 9:30. Saturdays-H olidays continuous.
