ENGINEERING CO. CONGRESSMAN SMITH IN FAVOROF TRINING DOES NOT THINK WAR WILL MEAN SENDING ARMIES TO EUROPE "I believe that there should be com- pulsory military training in every high school and college in the United States," said Congressman J. M. C. Smith of the third district, when in- terviewed yesterday afternoon. "Of course," said Congressman Smith, "credit should be given for hours spent in training and drill the same as for any other course. And, since many are denied the privilege of attending high school or college, I be- lieve that some provision should be made for instructing this class of peo- ple." When asked about the Chamberlain bill he said, "I do not know whether the Chamberlain bill will pass con- gress or not. That is a question which it is impossible to answer at the present time. If the bill is passed it will mean that 4,000,000 young men less than 20 years of age and perhaps 10,000,000 men more than 20 years old will be set in motion immediately. This may at first seem extravagant and unnecessary, but something must be done to awaken our sensibilities to the necessity of preparation. When we consider that, until the last few weeks, more men were leaving the army- than were enlisting, we see at once the necessity of conscription. "I firmly believe," continued Con- gressman Smith, "that congress is called together next week for the pur- pose of declaring war. I think that President Wilson, in his message, will show that every resource has been exhausted in an effort to prevent war, but since these have failed there is but one thing to do if we are to pre- serve our national honor." Congressman Smith went on to show that a declaration of war is necessary at the present time if we are to make clear our status as a nation. Under our present status we cannot prevent intrigue, stop spying, or seize Ger- man ships in our ports. Neither can we open our ports to the ships of the allies under present conditions. "I do not believe that it will mean the sending of large armies to Eu- rope," said Congressman Smith, "al- though we can do it if necessary. I think that the war will end as soon as we master the submarine situation, and American ingenuity has never been wanting in time of need. Now, as we stand on the border of a great conflict, let every man determine to uphold the flag, and have for his watchword, 'once in, everything for victory,' and there will be no doubt of our success." Congressman Smith has a son, W. P. Smith, '19, attending the University at the present time. William F. Strecker, Ann Arbor Jeweler, died yesterday morning at his home, 529 Sixth street, after a linger- ing illness. The Rev. A. L. Nicklas will officiate at the private funeral services which will be held at 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home. Alumni to Banquet in Grand Rapids The University of Michigan Alumni association of western Michigan will hold its annual banquet tomorrow evening at the Peninsular club in MANY ATTEND CIVIC ASSOCIATION EXHIBIT DIRECTOR OF DAYTON MUNICIP- AL EXHIBIT PLEASED WITH LOCAL AFFAIR Containing many exhibits of inter- est to Michigan students, the Civic as- sociation exhibit at the City hall is at- tracting an/unexpected number of vis- itors this week. The attendance yes- terday was above the 700 mark. Many men interested in civic affairs have come to Ann Arbor for the exhibit. Dr. Upton of Detroit, who managed the exhibit at Dayton, expressed yes- terday his surprise at the splendid features and completeness of the ex- hibit. Exhibitions In the administration department are instructive to students of economics and sociology. The In- hoff tank for sewage disposal, the samples of sewers, the charts on city planning, and the exhibit of the Detroit Edison company afford sources of in- struction for the engineering students. A collection of weapons from the police department, each with the story of some crime back of it, are also on exhibition. TO RAISE $5,000 FOR BUSRAH RELIEF WORK Three Hundred Men to Campaign for Arabian Fund Second Week After Vacation Three hundred men will constitute the campaigning force with which the University "Y" expects to raise $5,000 for Busrah the second week after spring vacation. The sum of $5,000 is sufficient to send another doctor and nurse to Arabia. Interest of the University "Y" first turned to Busrah in 1910 when Charles E. Shaw, '10E, offered $10,000 and his life devotion to engineering work in Busrah if the Students' Christian as- sociation would send a doctor. The Bennetts happened to be already sta- tioned at Busrah and Mr. H. G. Van Vlack, 'OM, and Miss Minnie Holz- hauser, '13, sailed in 1913 for Arabia. This was the nucleus for the little colony of Michigan m.en and women who have done work among the na- tives in medical and missionary lines. Two years ago the war compelled Mr. Shaw and Mr. Haynes, '10E, to withdraw. Four of the colony are at Busrah now. Miss Holzhauser reached the city in time to be of valuable serv- ice during the fighting between the Turks and the British at Busrah. Lately the friendship of the most pow- erful sheik in Arabia has been se- cured. This will prove of value in the work contemplated at Busrah. TO USE BARBOUR GYMNASIUM FOR RED CROSS HEADQUARTERS The parlors in Barbour gymnasium have been turned over to the Ameri- can Red Cross for the headquarters of the local chapter recently organ- ized here; This action was taken at a special meeting of the board of di- rectors held Wednesday afternoon to determine what immediate activities are open to the women of the Univer- sity by which they can meet the pres- ent national crisis. The war 'relief work which the Women's league has been doing once a week will be greatly increased, and plans are now under way to have this FOR ELECTRIC REPAIRS OF ALL KINDS CALL Washtenaw Electric Shop The Shop of Qualty 11Jits net Right we make it Right Phone 273 200 East Washington St. CULTIVATING THE CLOTHES SENSE- No way to do it but to see as many clothes as pos- sible that are excellently made-of well-combined colors-and of graceful lines.

Hospital Notes Two more victims of the scarlet fev- er epidemic have been added to the list of student patients. Albert A. Clark, '19, came down with the disease Wednesday morning at the Alpha Del- ta Phi fraternity on State street. Clark was immediately removed to the contagious ward of the University hospital and the fraternity placed un- der quarantine. Four hours later, the house was fumigated and the quaran- tine lifted. V. J. Husted, '19E, is the other stu- dent who has been removed to the con- tagious hospital for scarlet fever. Husted has a slight case and will prob- ably be discharged in a few weks. Phillips B. Preston, '17, who came down with the fever at Chi Psi fra- ternity, has just passed the crisis and is on the road to recovery. Preston's mother has been with him during the past week. James P. Adams, '19, an- other victim, is now recovering and will be discharged next week. According to Dr. H. H. Cummings of the University health service, the epidemic is being successfully check- ed. Andrew D. Althouse, '19, has been removed to the University hospital be- cause of an attack of pericarditis. The epidemic of German measles is still prevalent among the students. So many cases of the fever have been re- ported that it is impossible to place the patients in the contagious ward of the University hospital, and they are quarantined in their rooms. Henry L. Smith, '20, is the latest victim. PROF. W. L.

I *At its April meeting, the Board in Control of Student Publications will choose a business manager and manag- ing editor for the Students Directory. It is the policy of the board in filling the positions on the publications un- der its control, to award them on the basis of merit to those who have serv- ed in minor positions on the publica- tions to which the positions pertain. It sometimes happens, however, that no one who has served on the publica- tions during the year is eligible or capable of filling one of the leading positions for the ensuing year. When such circumstances arise, the board finds it necessary to consider outside candidates. This notice should not be considered as an intimation that these circumstances will arise this year. All applications for these positions should be in the hands of Professor F. N. Scott, on or before April 2, in order to be considered. Each application should contain a statement of the ex- perience of the applicant and should be accompanied by the applicant's eligibility card and any letters of rec- ommendation which he may have.
