THE WEATHER PROBABLY RAIN. TODAY A6r fr ipn UNITED PRESS DAY A)ND NIGIT WIRE SERVICE VOL. XXVII. No. 122. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1917. PRICE FIVE CENT "FOOLS, PARADI~SE REPEATS ,SUCCESS TO LARGER THRONG LEAVES LITTLE MATERIAL FOR USE OF SATIRICAL DRAMAT- ISTS IN FUTURE REFLECTS FOIBLES OF STUDENTS' LIFE Seven Day Trip Starts April 9 CosmopolitanI State Club to Visit Cities on Inspection Tour of I Hiram, '20, Amuses; Georgie, fies Professor with Boldly Infinitive '17, De- Split By L. S. T. The engagement of Mips Daisy Gardner, '20, to Dick, '19, was an- nounced last night at a theater party at the Whitney, given by the parents and guardian of the young couple for 1,000 relatives and friends. The news came as a "culmination," according to the society editor, of a charming romance at Newport which had its inception at the time of the thrilling rescue of Miss Gardner by her fiance when her horse became ex- cited and ran away. Dick is well known to Michigan stu- dents as an aviator. The announce- ment was a distinct surprise to those present, inasmuch as several unfor- tunate occurrences over which the engaged couple had no control recent- ly estranged them and brought about Miss Gardner's withdrawal from the University. Play to Capacity House" This is just another way of saying that the Michigan Union opera, "Fools' Paradise," was given for the second time last night and before an audi- ence which "filled the house to the doors." For two hours and 45 min- utes the company of players held a mirror before the assembled company and made them laugh themselves into fatigue at their own whimsicalities. Prdduction Open to Criticism The production may be criticized Aecause it leaves little material for the next dramatist who may wish to satirize the life of Michigan's students. It shows conclusively what has been at the root of all our troubles here. Rev. Martin Supergood, who until last night was violently opposed to any pastime more boisterous than memorizing epitaphs, is completely disillusioned. He went into the new Michigan Union building, you know, and thought it suggested something unconventional. The clerk, his nephew, told him to go across the street to the Y. M. C. A. Of course he meant the Museum, but he was only working because his uncle had cast him off and he hadn't oriented him- self as yet. Professor Bookery Also Reformed Professor Bookery of the depart- ment of ancient relics, and eminent golf expert, also Joined the disillus- ioned class. The scene in which Georgie, '17, splits an infinitive right to his face and tells him "the faculty want to arbitrarily run the students" was the tIrning point when he tried to stop the dance at 9:30 o'clock. It is to be hoped that the other members of the ancient relics department will take the hint and profit by the les- son as Professor Bookery did. The audience was amused and pleased to see the rapid developemnt of Hiram, '20, who came to the Uni- versity last fall wholly unaware of the potential forces which only needed the co-operation of the local chapter of the Kappa Climax fraternity to let them blossom into flowers of young manhood. It was also gratifying to see the change that gradually came over Mr. Gardner, father of the Miss Gardner mentioned above, and brought him to the realization that Dick and Tubby were after all only live Ameri- can college students. Indian Chief Well Received Chief Tontagini (pronounced "Ton- ta-gee-nee.. with the accent on the penult), is something new in Michi- gan performances, but he is well worth listening to. He has some valuable advice and he knows how to deliver it with a voice and manner that never fail to impress. The rest of the people who take part in the performace are worth see- ing and hearing, too. They are clever and they know how to give the full benefit of their ability. The or- chestra. the songs, the lines, the Members of the Cosmopolitan club will leave Ann Arbor on Monday, April 9, for a seven-day trip, which will include some of the leading manu- facturing towns of Michigan. Monday, April 9, they will be ten- dered a luncheon by the Postum Cereal company in Battle Creek. The members of the club will visit the Nickels and Shepard company. In the evening they will attend a ban- quet at Dr. Kellogg's sanitarium. Tuesday and Wednesday, April 10 and 11, the club will visit Grand Rap- ids, where the Women's club has of- fered to lodge the visitors in private homes during their two-day stay. Thursday, April 12, the students will visit all the importfnt 'industrial plants of Muskegon. Friday, April 13, they will see the workings of the Reo Motor Car company's plant in Lansing. Saturday, April 14, they will be lodged in private homes in Detroit and will visit the Packard and Ford motor car plants, and several chem- ical factories in the city, returning to Ann Arbor from there. Members of the Cosmopolitian club desiring to take the trip will have an opportunity to sign up at 4 o'cock this afternoon, or from 11:30 to 12 o'clock tomorrow morning, with O. T. Kreuser in room 302 University hall. MONROE DOCTRINE IS A PAMEICAN POLICY HAS SUPPORT OF ALL LATIN-AM- ERICAN STATES, SAYS DR ALVAREZ "The Monroe Doctrine is not the doctrine of a single state; it is not the special enunciation of Monroe; but it is an All-American doctrine,. having the support of all the nations on the American continent," said Dr. Alejandro Alvarez in his lecture on "The Monroe Doctrine from a Latin- American Point of View," delivered in the Economics building yesterday aft- ernoon. Dr. Alvarez pointed out that in the event of war with any European na- tion the United States will have the whole hearted support of all Latin- American countries because of the sympathy and support given to the Latin-American countries by the Unit- ed States during their struggles for independence, and because of the ten- dency toward pan-American which has been the policy of all American coun- tries. This tendency is due to the growing intimate relations of all kinds between the North American republic and the South American states. Sets Forth U. S. Policies After an enumeration and explana- tion of the doctrine as expressed by President Monroe, in which was set forth the principles of the independ- ence of the new world, and the policy of the United States in not allowing meddling in American affairs by Euro- pean countries, and the principle that America would not interfere in Euro- pean affairs, the speaker stated that the United States has developed three policies, which are: 1. The maintenance, application, and development of the Monroe Doc- trine, which is the doctrine of all the states of the new world. 2. The development of a personal political hegemony. 3. The policy of a personal politic- al imperialism. Seeks Peaceful Expansion Dr. Alvarez gave examples to show that these policies have been followed by the United States, and stated that the attempt to further commercial and economic relations with her Latin-Am- erican neighbors shows that wealth and power can be obtained through the influence of peaceful economic de- velopment, instead of the armed op- pression of weaker states, as has been the case in Europe. In concluding, Senor Alvarez declar-; ed, "The Monroe Doctrine expresses principles of American public inter- nation law, because its principles are supported by all the states of the new world, and respected by all states of; the old." PLAN1TOINCREAS AI0R FLET 5000 Manufacturers Co-operate With Na- tion in Construction of Aeroplanes NEED 1,000 MORE AVIATORS ACCORDING TO PROPOSITION Aerial Squadron to Be Used as Coast Guard Against Attack of Enemy Flyers Washington, March 22.-A mam- moth fleet of 5,000 standardized types of air craft toaugmentthe present aerial forces of the United States is planned by the national advisory com- mittee of aeronautics, it was stated today. The committee, army and navy of- ficers, and some 30 manufacturers of air craft met here today to decide upon the quickest possible way to turn out this large air fleet in case of war. The manufacturers signified their willingness to co-operate with the government in the present emergency, and a committee consisting of three manufacturers and four members of the advisory committee was named to craft plans for the most modern type of aeroplanes. The work will be distributed among the manufacturers of the country in a manner which the committee will determine most advantageous. The proposition calls for the construction of 5,000 powerful air fighters which will mean an addition of 1,000 aviators to the present air force of the coun- try. For every aviator there is kept in reserve three aeroplanes, and the board figures that one air ship will be destroyed in training an aviator. This big fleet will be used to guard the coast against attack from enemy flyers, and may also, in the event of hostilities, participate in active war- fare, according to a member of the board. SEYMOUR LONG,'20, DIES FROM INJURY Fall Received When Alighting From Interurban Car Wednesday Proves Fatal Seymour Long, '20, died at 3:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Un- iversity hospital from a fall he receiv- ed while alighting from an interurban car at the corner of Packard and State streets at 1030 o'clock last Wednes- day night. His father, a farmer just outside of Urbana, Ohio, and his moth- er were notified of his death last night and will arrive today to take care of the remains. Long was returning from Detroit last Wednesday and according to by- standers did not attempt to g'et off from the car until it had started up at the corner of Packard and State streets. He fell on the back of his head and was knocked unconscious. Police Officer Sodt took him to the University hospital but he never re- gained consciousness. Six doctors were put on the cass. An X-ray of his head was taken but it showed no signs of any injury aid one of the doctors said last night that Long showed no symptoms of be- ing hurt until within a few minutes of his death. The city coronor will hold an autopsy today to find out the exact cause of his death. "BABY WEEK" WILL BEGIN APRIL 23 BY PROCLAMATION Mayor Ernest Wurster issued a proclamation yesterday to the effect that "Baby Week,'- will be observed in this city the week of April 23. Ann Arbor will follow the lead of other cities in the general campaign to provide information which is intend- ed to aid in the betterment of con- ditions under which children are born and live. His proclamation is in line with the plan of members of the Ann Arbor branch of the Collegiate Alumnae as- sociation, and the hospital circle of King's Daughters to conduct such a campaign as outlined above. During the same week a campaign against tuberculosis will be conducted over the country. The city board of health, city officials, churches, organ- izations of many kinds, merchants, physicians and all others are urgently asked to give their co-operation in the "Baby Week" plan. British Soldiers Still Advance Horror of German Retreat Grows Constantly Under Pressure of Anglo-French By William Phillips Simms (United Press Staff Correspondent.) (With the British Armies Afield.) London, Marci 22.-The British are within five miles of St. Quentin and are still pressing on toward Nord Can- al, which the enemy is utilizing for purposes of defense. The horror of the German retreat grew constantly today when it be came known that the Teutons, after Roy le Petit, collected about 200 old people and children in addition to the usual population of the place, and then deliberately shelled the vil- lage. A number of these defenseless and innocent people were killed. As the Germans fall back under the relentless Anglo-French pressure the ugliest side of the war is uncovered. Evidences of vandalism abound every- where. Most tragic . of all are the human wrecks left behind. They stare at the incoming British and French troops with eyes made mild by suffer- ing. The faces of babies and the younger children are especially pitiful. No one had tasted meat for six months or more. Wherever we went we heard praise of the American relief commission, whose efforts reached to thve foremost villages behind the German lines. However. the people declared that the Germans profited through these sup- plies. FIRST MILTRY BLL AT ARMORY TONIGHT STATE DEPARTMENT SQULHSALL MEDIATION YIVS:BRAND TALK AS PRO-GERMAN N AN T1Il-AMERICA~ EVENT MAY BE LAST ENJOYEDI BY NAVAL RESERVES FOR MANY MONTHS Representatives of numerous mili- tary and civil organizations will at- tend the naval ball to be held to- night at the Armory.

Hall, Prof. Herbert C. Sadler, Prof. Lewis M. Gram, Dr. Clyde B. Stouffer, Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, Mr. Wilfred B. Shaw, and Mr. Wilfred Wilson. This is the first formal ball of the naval militia, and yet it will in all probability be the last, according to Kenneth W. Heinrich, '17E. Heinrich expressed himself as being positive that the naval militia will be in serv- ice before April 1. The grand march, led by Kenneth W. Heinrich, '17, and Lois E. Donald- son, '18, will begin at 9:30 o'clock. A reception will be held from 9 to 9:30 o'clock. The dance will end at 2 o'clock with the sounding of taps by the field music corps. Navy Needs College Men Says Officer Princeton, N. J., March 22.-Lacking from 18,000 to 50,000 men and 2,000 officers, the navy is in pressing need of college bred men to man the sub- marine patrol boats which will be used in case of war, according to the asser- tion of Lieut.-Commanddr Marion Ep- pley of the United States navy, in an address to the Princeton branch of the- United States naval coast reserve. The prime requisite of the individual in this service is brains and the abil- ity to use them, he said, and for this reason the college man is most desir- able. Judge V. H. Lane to Speak Sunday; Judge Victor H. Lane of the Law school will speak Sunday night in Lane hall on "Law as a Profession." This is the fourth of a, series of lec- tures to be given in Lane hall on sub- jects of educational interest. German Measles Keeps Students In Lawrence A. Ransford, '19, 521 Walnut street, and Alfred B. Ware- ham, '20, 911 Monroe street, are quar- antined in their rooms with German measles. COMBINED MEMORIAS FROM SENIORS FAORED MOTHERS' AND FATHERS' DAY PETITION PRESENTED TO STUDENT COUNCIL The Student council will petition the Senate council for permission to hold a Mothers' and Fathers' day in co-operation with the University au- thorities at some date considered ad- visable by the two organizations. It was decided that Festival week would not be a good date for the event, be- cause tickets for the festival would not be available and because the Univer- sity would not be running under -nor- mal conditions at that time. Chairmen of the morial fund com- mittee of the senior classes, with the exceptions of the law and dent repre- sentatives, met last Sunday at the re- quest of the Student council and voted in favor of the plan of a combined memorial fund. The chairmen will take the matter up with their com- mittees and meet a week from Sun- day to report upon the decisions reached. It was decided by the council that the cost of a new tug-of-war rope to take the place of the old one, which was destroyed last year, should be apportioned among the entire student body. Bills varying in amount in pro- portion to the size of the classes will be sent to the class treasurers. These must be met promptly, because the rope will not be purchased until the money has been secured. " W. H. Hoga i, '17, and W. B. Steele, '17D, were appointed as a committee to consult with various campus organ- izations in order to determine a suit- able date for all-campus election day. In order to get a greater number of students to vote, it is probable that the election will be held in the center of the campus. If possible the coun- cil will secure a large tent under which the ballots will be cast. The second Sunday after spring va- cation was chosen as Cane day for the seniors. This will be the official opening day for the carrying of canes. H. A. Taylor, '17E, and H. S. Hatch, '18, were appointed to consult the editor of the Michigan handbook on the possibility of incorporating a stu- dent code of campus traditions and rules for athletics in that publication in the futui'e. ILLINOIS GUARD PREPARES TO MOVE Get Orders to Collect All Data -on Mobilizing Facil- ities Springfield, Ill., March 22.-Adjut- ant-General Dickson received orders from General Barry of the central mil- itary department, to rush to Chicago all data he can collect within the next few lours on the facilities for mobilizing the entire Illinois national guard. The Illinois national guard was the first sent to the border during the Mexican trouble. SUMME10 SALESMEN ARE GIVEN ENCOURAGING TALK ON WORK "You are going to be missionaries for Michigan, in that you are going to dispel many of the false ideas of col- lege men next summer in your work," said the Rev. Mr. George Knepper at Lane hall last evening -to the Michi- gan men who are going to sell the People's Home Library as summer work. - Rev. Knepper also pointed out how these men besides making money, were going to bring students to Mich- igan by exciting admiration among the younger gceneration. "Another thing you fellows and others who will work this summer will get, is ability to meet men and to adapt yourself to conditions." NO ('IL1GE IN ATTITUDE TILL SLATE WITH GERMANS IS CLEAN EXECUTIVE WORKS ON SPEECH TO CONGRESS Senate and house Members Pledge President Support; Fili- busters Join BULLETIN Washington, March 22.-Unof- lihcia reports circulated here as- sert that ihe United States is still on the verge of war with Ger- many. Rumors from department officals state that Germany will declare war before the United Stales. Such a move, it is held, will be to the advantage of the Germans, giving them ample time to prepare ai U-boat campaign be- fore congress can act to uphold President Wilson. By J. P. Yoder (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Washington, March 22.-The state department today squelched all dug gestions for neutral mediation be- tween the United States and Germany. This will continue to be the adminis- tration's attitude until the slate be- tween Germany and America is clean. No Parley Considered Suggestions that a neutral move to- ward mediation was proceedingbrought from the department the definite knowledge that this government is not now disposed to parley. Administra- tion officials, including Secretary of State Lansing, were frankly displeased at the mediation talk, branding it as pro-German and anti-American. The state department said officially it had not received a formal meiation offer aside from the several Swiss of- fers made at the time of the break with Germany to do anything that could be done. Just who was inspir- ing the mediat.ion talk was unknown, but there was a suspicion that it might he fostered by Swiss Minister Ritter. Wilson Prepares Message President Wilson today began tenta- tive work on his message to the war congress of April 2. Simultaneously senators and representatives of all faiths were wiring in pledges of sup- port to the White House. Among those who are responding to the de- numds for aggressive action against Germany are members of the little group of willful 12 charged by Presi- dent Wilson with placing the United States in a contemptible light before the world as a result of filibustering tactics in the last congress.
