The twenty-fourth annual May Fes-

last eveninginn Hlll auditorium by the

the ,following soloists: Margarete

Chase B. Sikca, all under the direc-
tion of Dr. Albert A. Stanley.
This i~nnortad opera, with its beau-
tifol solos and stirring choruses, is
wcl1 suited to be given in concert, and
its rendition last evening was, in every
repect, an inspiring one.

ICOMMITTEE TO CHOOSE MEN AT
TEN O'CLOCK THIS MORN-
ING
Nominations for next year's officers
of the Michigan Union will be made
at 10 o'clock this morning in the
Union by the nominating committee.

will be accepted providing they are
presented by 9 o'clock tomorrow at the
Union desk and signed by 25 or more
petitioners. The constitution of the
Union states that all nominations be
made at least four days previous to
the election. -Owing to' the fact that
campus election comes a week early
this spring, and that the sickness of
the Union president delayed some of
the club's business, it has been impos-
sible to open nominations sooner.
The nominating committee, compos-
ed of A. S. Hart, '17, chairman, rep-
resenting the literary college; Arthur
E. Hecker, '17E, the engineering;
George McClure, '17M, the Medical
school; Harry G. Gault, '17L, the Law

W. L. SAUNDERS OF NAVAL CON.
SULTING COMMITTEE
"HOPEFUL"
EDISON KNOWN TO
BE EXPERIMENTING
No Definite Single Proposal Now in
Hands of Men Chosen to
Make Defense Plans
New York, May 5.-Solution of the
submarine problem is in sight.
While the greatest inventive brains
in the government service were con-
centrated tonight on technical experi-
ment for the eradication of the U-boat
menace, Chairman W. L. Saunders of
the naval consulting board, avowed he
was "hopeful" of an early solution.
In this connection it was definitely
learned that Thomas A. Edison, presi-
dent of the board, has been away from
his laboratory at Orange, N. J., for
three days working on government ex-
periments. It is understood he is on
one of his famous "work Jags," which
frequently result in astonishing dis-
coveries.
No Definite Proposal
"There is no definite single proposal
before the naval consulting board,"
declared Saunders tonight, "but we
have submitted a number of inven-
tions to the navy department. All
have been tested and found practical.
Personally I am hopeful that one of
these or a combination of them, will
prove to be the solution of the sub-
marine problem.
"I am confident that the submarine
peril will be solved by some of the
inventions now before our board,"
Saunders continued. "Of course, this
is my personal opinion. There are 24
members of, the board and sometimes
they all hold different opinions."
Saunders Makes Denial
Saunders denied a statement quot-
ing him as saying the submarine ques-
tion "had been solved."
"It never will be' solved," he as-
serte'd, "until the submarine is elim-
inated. I think the perif right now is
just as serious as ever, but I do be-
lieve the inventions now in our hands
will meet it. The navy department,

Position Near Lassaux
Hill
Paris, May 5.-French forces have
captured nearly four miles more of
Cerman trenches on the Hindenburg

tween Moisy farm, the Lassaux hill,

day's fighting.
"On the captured frontage," the war
office said, "our artillery and ma-
chine guns inflicted exceptionally
Leavy losses to the enemy in repelling
counter attacks."

The capture of 1,800 prisoners on the
French front was reported in tonight's
official statement. Thirty-five machine
guns were taken.
"Near Lens and Fresnoy," the state-
ment said, "weak advances by the
enemy failed. The number of English
prisoners reached more than 1,200. Be-
tween the Aisne and Brimont heights
gn attack by four French divisions
broke down, thanks to stout resist-
ance on the part of our soldiers. East
of Neuville the French,, Who :tem-
porarily penetrated our lines, were
driven out. Here they lost 500 pris-
oners and several machine guns."
