NEW PEACE TERMS NOT TO TRICKGOVERNMENT SENATOR SAULSBURY FAVORS ABROGATION OF PXIST- ING TREATIES Washington, March 29.-If German Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg should present new peace terms in his speech scheduled for today, they will not trick the United States government into change of its present policy. In fact, the state department let it be known this afternoon that it stands on its previous assertion that Germany must without qualification withdraw her unlimited submarine warfare de- eees before there can be any dealings between the two countries. The ad- ministration, according to the state department suggestions, will not per- mit any false proposals to becloud the clear issues. Favors Abrogation of All Treaties Washington, March 29.-Abrogation of all existing treaties between the United States and Germany because of Germany's gross violation of Ameri- can rights in sinking American ships %nd taking American lives was ad- vocated by Senator Saulsbury, member of the foreign relations committee, and president pro tem of the senate. Since Russia's revolution Saulsbury declared, the war has resolved itself into a battle between democracy and autocracy. It is plain, he declared, where the United States' duty lies in the struggle. "Assuming that congress shall declare war or declare a state of war exists," said Saulsbury, "there should be no hesitation of any kind in doing what we can to bring an end to the war upon which we would then enter."

Iphigenia, the daughter of Agam- memnon and Clytemnestra, having been snatched away from her father's altar when he was about to sacrifice her, is borne by Artemis to the Taur- ian shores where she is later found by her brother, who does.not recog- nize her at first. He is seized and sentenced to death. However, in speaking with him, Iphigenia recog- nizes her brother and with Pylades, they effect their escape. Thoas, the king, is about to pursue them when the vision of Athena appears, telling him to desist from vengeance, and the play ends with a song of rejoicing to the goddess. Charlotte Kelsey, '18, in the role of the heroine, Iphigenia; displayed the same splendid -talent that has char- acterized her work in previous cam- pus dramatics. Clarence Hunter, '17, as Orestes, the long lost brother, and Ralph Carson, '17, as Pylades, his friend, act their parts admirably in expressing the emotions of forlorn wanderers in a foreign land. George Wilner, '17, as Thoas, the Taurian king, takes the part of the barbarian chief, and in threatening mein and harsh speech typifies the savagery of the northern races. Emily Loman, '19, as Pallas Athena features a remarkable scenic effect in the last act, and with the grandeur of the goddess, herself guides the un- couth babarians from revenge to wor- ship. More than 3,000 people attended the play, many coming in special cars from Detroit and Jackson. Prof. G. Sarton Speaks to Conference Prof. George Sarton of Mondelgem,j Belgium, who is at present lecturing on the history of science at Harvard university, will address the joint classical and mathematical conference at 1:30 o'clock today in the Alumnil Memorial hall. Behind a hastily organized band, and bearing the huge legend "Michigan for America," more than 2,500 Univer- sity students took part in an im- promptu preparedness parade last night which swept in ever-increasing numbers down State street, passed the Whitney and Allenel hotels, and halted before Regent Junius E. Beal's residence. Before the two hotels and the Re- gent's home, demonstrations of Michi- gan's support of military training were given. Later the parade wound back to State street to the tune of the "Victors." In front of Huston's they crowded together, and when someone suggested the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner," they compliM with bared heads. Next came "America" and "The Yellow and Blue," after which the crowd broke up. The parade was organized about 7 o'clock by some students in the Medical college, which department also furnished the band.

The total number of votes cast was 4,336. All ballots which were totally unsigned were not counted, but those bearing class numerals with class only were accepted. The Medical school led all the de- partments in the affirmative vote with but eight votes cast against compul- sory training in any form. Changing the form of the ballot the junior dents voted 77 to 15 for compulsory mili- tary training during the first two years of the dentalacourse. Definite steps leading toward urn- mediate preparedness were taken by students of two departments. A peti- tion is being circulated among the senior pharmics stating that in case of war the signers will offer their professional services to Secretary A. B. Stevens to be used as. he sees fit. Freshmen of the Medical school have organized two companies of infantry. Of this number 35 men have had pre- vious training. The election of offi- cers and the arrangement of drill hours will take place in a meeting of the corps today. "The vote today should express the desire of Michigan men to do their duty," said Dean John R. Effinger, who addressed the literary assembly held in Hill auditorium. "College men should be prepared to be the leaers in war," he continued. Before the vote was taken Mr. Lyman L. Bryson of the rhetoric department answered questions concerning the ballot. Results Please Deans Dean Fffinger-"However the de- tails are decided by the board of re- gents the vote clearly shows that the students are willing to make a sacri- , fice and assume the responsibilities of the hour." Dean Cooley-"I think the vote is magnificent. 'Heartening' is the word which expresses my sentiments. I think, however, that the confusion in interpreting the real meaning of the first question as a temporary and not a permanent measure may have se- cured favorable votes which it would not otherwise have received." Dean Myra B. Jordan-"I am thor- oughly in favor of training for every- one. The spirit shown by the vote is excellent." Dean Hinsdale-"It seems the log- ical thing to do at this time." Dean Mortimer E. Cooley spoke be- fore the junior engineer assembly, pointing out several facts about the question of military training. He .did not exhort the students to vote-on either for or against the proposition, but left the- matterto their judgment. Following he dean's talk a general discussion was held. No adverse opinion on the question of military training was expressedat the law assembly.' In speaking to the students Dean Henry M. Bates ex- pressed the wish that every member of the Law school take some srtof military training in order to be able (Continued on.
