MORE THAN 150 EXPECTED; REG- ISTER IN ALUMNI BUILD- ING More than 150 Michigan alumni from the state of Michigan and the BIGGEST APPROPRIATION I ESTIMATE__ SUBMITTED BUDGETS FOR ARMY AND NAVY EXTENSION LAID BEFORE HOUSE Washington, April 30.-The first funds to finance the armies of the republic were asked of congress to- day. An appropriation of $2,699,485,- A bulletin issued by the central de- cities of Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, partment of the military training and Buffalo, will be in Ann Arbor camps association gives the following directions for men applying for ad- mission to the camps: Men who have already received their commissions for officers' reserve corps will be ordered by department officers to report at their designated camps from May 1 to May 8; all others May 8 to May 14; but only upon orders from the camp commander. The title "Approval Card, Second Tnd," on the application blank, taken by itself, seems to indicate that every candidate who receives this duplicate card from the examining officer is en- titled to attend the camp. Such is not the case. This "Second Ind." signi- fies that the candidate has been found "eligible" for attendance at the camp and has received a certificate to that effect. As stated under "directions" on the reverse side of the application blank, "From these certificates the camp commander will select and notify 2,500 men for each camp, if more than that number are certified to him as suitable." All .candidates who have received their certificates of suitability must therefore remain at their home ad- dress until they have received from the camp commander a postcard noti- fying them that they have been chosen for attendance at camp and authoriz- ing them to report at camp. A post- card so received constitutes the an- thority of each candidate, and will be brought to camp by him and presented to the camp adjutant upon arrival. Men passing the examination given by Major C. W. Castle for entrance to training camps will not have to pass further examinations. They will be limited, as the bulletin states, only by, the number of men applying for ad- mission to the training camp and the choice of the commanding officer. The examinations for admission to the camps were supposed to close y ester- day but will be continued for a few days. As the result of examinations held yesterday the following number of men were recommended to the camps: One to Leon Spring, Texas; two to Fort Snelling, Minnesota; three to Fort Benjamin Harrison; 25 to Fort Sheridan; four to Fort Riley. This makes a total number of 94 men rec- ommended from Michigan. UNION TO AID ALUMNI IN SECURING ACCOMMODATIONS With the prospect of more than 200.

The ambulance corps is being recruited in great part from fraternity members, while the mosquito fleet and the aviation corps have already taken many. A few are now planning on leaving for farm+ work, and it is possible that the next few weeks will see many who are too young for draft aiding in the produc- tion of crops. War Changes Campus Interest The interest of the campus has so changed that little consideration is being given to the parties and house dances that are usually so frequent at this time of the year. Only two out of all the fraternities and one of the house clubs are planning on hold- ing their anual spring house parties, while the preparations of the others have been stopped and the contracts cancelled.

All Lit Students Pay Dues Today Students Urged to Pay Due to Un. certainty of Existing Conditions Collection of class dues for the en- tire literary college will start this morning at 11 o'clock at tables placed in front of the Library. Hours of col- lection will be from 11 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Due to existing conditions outside of the University which make future plans uncertain, it is especially urged that members of all classes make an extra effort to pay up their dues either today or tomorrow in order that their respective classes may settle with all creditors before the end of the pres- ent semester. In case the present system of col- loecting dues sloes not meet with the success it deserves in the minds of the executives of the classes, there is a strong possibility that a house to house canvass of the members of the. department will 'be made soon. In case of rain at the hours set for the collection of dues, the collection ta- bles will be set in the west corridor of the Library. SINGING OF A EICA TO USHER IN FESTIVAL NOTED LIST OF ARTISTS TO PEAR IN ANNUAL EVENT AP. The twenty-fourth annual May Fes- tival will be ushered in with appro- priate ceremonies tomorrow evening in Hill auditorium when "America" will be sung by members of the Choral union and the audience as well. it is highly probable that all of the evening concerts this year will be opened by a patriotic hymn. Oliver Wendell Holnes' "Hymn of Consecra- tion," which has been set to music by IProf. Albert A. Stanley, and which was originally.intended to be sung at the celebration in honor of the naval re- serves, has been arranged for chorus and will be sung by the Choral union at the opening of the Thursday even- ing concert. The annual May Festival brings to a fitting close the musical activities of the year in this city. As usual, the Metropolitan Opera company is well represented and this year finds no less than six of their members upon the list, DeLuca, Maude Fay, Hinshaw, Louise Homer, Mar- tinelli, and Matzenauer all having a place on the festival program. Be- sides these Galli-Curci, Holmquist,j Kingston, Leginska, Christine Miller, and Biggs, whose reputations as mu- sicians and artists are no less firmly established, will appear on the pro- gram. The Chicago Symphony orchestra ofj 70 men, conducted by Frederick Stock, will contribute several orchestral' numbers besides playing all of the accompaniments. The University Choral union and the children's chorus, trained and con- duced by Professor Stanley, will also be heard at this festival FRESH LITS DRILL; TO HOLD SMOKER AND PLAN BATTALION More than 75 fresh lits reported for drill at Waterman gymnasium yester- day afternoon.

A fresh lit military smoker will be held at the Union tomorrow night, and plans for forming a battalion will be discussed. If such a battalion is formed drill hours which are con- venient will be arranged so that all members of the class can participate in the work. LOR NORTH CL1FFE ATTACKS BRITISH HENVAL STRUCTURE MOVEMENT ON FOOT FOR REOR- GANIZATION OF ENTIRE ADMIRALTY SUBMARINE LOSSES KEPT FROM PUBLIC Poor Coast Protection and Failure to Combat German Submarines Emphasized By Ed. L. Keen (United Press Staff Correspondent,) London, April 30. - Close on the heels of the news of the shakeup in the French army and the appoint- ment of General Petain in supreme command of the forces on the western front, comes the news of the crusade led by Lord Northcliffe, for the re-or- ganization of the British naval branch, both shakeups denoting in all proba- bility the preparation for an intensive summer drive. Demand Rehabilitation The entire British admirality was under a widespread public demand for rehabilitation today. Lord Notlchffe, the man who led the crusade of 191, which resulted in the great shakeup of the war office, and Lloyd George's appointment as first minister of mun- itions, was behind today's movement for re-organization of the naval branch. Press and public appeared to agree with him in every particular. Make Three Criticisms The admiralty is under attack from three directions; first, there is wide- spread criticism of its failure to'com- bat mbre successfully the German sub- marine menace; second, the admiralty is blamed for insufficient coast pro- tection, permitting a number of Ger- man destroyer raids on seacoast cit- ies; third, and probably most import- ant of all, the public is aroused over supressiop of the full facts as to the seriousness of the submarine cam- paign and allied losses. The opposition to. thg admiralty reached the house of commons today when questions were asked of the first Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Edward Carson. "As the number of German submarines is increasing, we must ex- pect a corresponding increase in the danger to shipping," he replied, refer- ring to the statistics of sinkings. Fail to Give Public Facts Lord Northcliffe is leading the way in the criticism of the navy, directing most his energy toward forcing the admirty to give full facts on the sub- marine operations. He advances the theory in which he is supported by the public that if England was aware o exactly how great the inroads on her food consumption has been due tc submarines, the government would have an easier time applying economy The misleading statements of losses issued weekly by the admiralty hav given a false impression of England's security, according to Northcliffe and his fellow crusaders. 'PICKED FOR DEATH' Note Reveals Assassination Ploti Against Wilson and Others Trenton, N. J., April 30.-Assassina- tion plots againt President Wilson Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard' Taft, and Senator- Tom Taggart, are believed to have been revealed today through the death of Charles G Mueller, Indianapolis architect, who dropped dead of heart disease last night in the hotel lobby here. Coroner Bray and United States Marshal Snowden found in Mueller's pocket a note book in which was memoranda stating that Wilson Roosevelt, and the others were "picked for death."
