tacks in the great battle now raging
north of Korytuica but have been re-

ing is occurring along the wide porti-
tions of both the Voihynian and Gal-

mania's army that invaded southeast-
ern Transylvania escaped to hiding
places in the mountains, said the mili-
tary critic of the semi-official' news

operations today. The Iirst Roumanian
army and a lager part of the second

Berlin, via wireless to Sayville, Oct.

the Somme beginning last Friday is

of the English, were greater than in
any previous attack on this front.
EXPECT BIG APPROPRIATION
Naval Department May Cost $380,000,-
000 or More This Year.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Naval ap-
propriations are likely to break rec-
ords again at the coming session of
congress. This became known today
in connection with the announcement
that the house naval committee, fore-
seeing a vast amount of work ahead,
will meet November 2, to begin con-
sideration of the naval bill.
In naval circles it was predicted
the appropriations, unless the "little
navy" members slaughter the bill, will
mount up to $330,000,000 or more.
The navy department is now working
on the estimate. The bill of last ses-
slo4 carried $313,000,000.

FROSH TO BATTLE
SOPHS IN RUSH
ON FERRY FIELD
ANNUAL CONTEST TO BE STAGED
ON SATURDAY AT
10 O'CLOCK
TO HOLD PEP' MEETINGS
Freshmen to Meet Wednesday and
Sophomores Thursday
Evening
Saturday is the day, 10 o'clock the
hour, and Ferry field the place where
and when the annual Fresh-Soph rush
is scheduled to take place. There will
the long-suffering yearling be given
an opportunity to avenge himself for
the many insults heaped upon him by
the second year men.
As on the morn of the M. A. C.
game of last year, and many years
previous, it will be the lot of the
younger men to defend the three poles
and the banners of their class against
the strategic onslaughts of the sopho-
mores.
Directly following the pole rush, the
cane spree will be staged. In this
event an equal number of men are
picked from each class and are paired
off with one member of each class on
a single cane. At the end of a certain
length of time the side having the
greatest number of canes wins the
spree.
For the past few years the second
year men have been victorious in the
fall contests while the freshmen have
evened matters by winning those held
in the spring.
As a stimulant for the fray, pep
meetings will be held Wednesday and
Thursday evenings. Here will be
gathered a battalion of speakers who
will do their best to impress upon the
minds of the underclassmen the kind
of spirit they must show when they
appear Saturday morning.

the club's program for the year, which,
besides the usual list of faculty lec-
tures, will include two plays. One
will be given shortly before the Christ-
mas holidays, and the other will be
presented in April. The program of
faculty lectures will not be ready for
publication until after the election of
a new director for the club.
The Cercle will hold another meet-
ing next Monday night, at which the
annual fall elections of the club will
be made. The officers for the year
1916-17 are: President, Lloyd Curby,

PLANS COMPLETED
FOR 1920 SMOKER
Fifteen Hundred Yearlings Expected to
Consume Cider and Smokes
at Union
Final arrangements for the Fresh-
men's reception next Tuesday evening
have been made and all that is needed
to complete the affair is the appear-
ance of 1,500 freshm'en at that time.
Some of the best talent on the
campus such as Grover, star of last
year's opera, DeButts, "shark" pianist
and his orchestra will help entertain.
McKee of the 'Varsity band, will per-
form on his saxaphone. In addition
to this, two 1920 men will offer some
violin selections.
All freshmen in the University are
urgently requested to come to enjoy
cider and smokes. It is not necessary
to be a member of the Union to be
admitted. The only requirement is
that every man wear his cap. Every-
thing will be free.
Freshmen are asked to come directly
to the Union at 7:30 o'clock. The en-
tertainment will begin promptly at that
time. The committees in charge are
as follows:
General chairman, H. E. Storz, '19.

Address Women
On Point System
EXPECTED TO ATTACK WILSON
Ira F. Landrith, Vice Presidential
Candidate, Accompanies
Hanly
J. Frank Hanly, Prohibition can-
didate for president; Ira Landrith,
candidate for vice president, and Oliver
W. Stewart, chairman of the Prohibi-
tion campaign committee, will arrive
this morning at 8:15 o'clock on the
Prohibition special train, enabling the
candidates to address the people at
the Michigan Central depot.
Considerable attention has been 5at-
tracted by the speeches of the can-
didates, who are attacking Woodrow
Wilson and Judge Hughes vigorously.
Democrats and Republicans have
turned out in great numbers to hear
what the Prohibitionists say about
their candidates.
Hanly has the distinction of being
one of the last of the "log cabin can-
didates," being born in a log cabin,
struggling hard in early life, and fight-
ing his way through difficulties to a
plane of power in the Republican party
and serving the people of Indiana for
several years as congressman and
governor.
Landrith is a southern statesman,
educator, editor, orator, and political
leader of national and international
reputation, sacrificing several hundred
dollars a week, because he believes in
the Prohibition cause. The editor is
one of the founders and held the posi-
tion of secretary for many years of the
Tennessee Anti-saloon league.
The Hanly-Landrith special will
visit more than 500 important towns
and cities throughout they United
States before election day. The tour,
which will probably excell any similar
tours by the Republicans or Demo-
crats, and which will eclipse all. past
Prohibition party campaigning, was
made possible through the efforts of
the Prohibition pioneer, Oliver W.
Stewart, of Chicago, and his co-
workers. The local visit was arranged
through supporters of the Prohibition
candidates in this section. The party
will leave here for Jackson, Mich.,
where a monstrous mass meeting is
scheduled.

FRESHMEN WOMEN POISONED
AT Y. W. C. A. BANQUET
It was rumored yesterday that
nearly 40 freshman women, who at-
tended the banquet tendered them at
the local Y. W. C. A. Saturday even-
"How Michigan women win their
circled 'M's' and sweaters under the
point system" was the essence of an
address given by Miss Ida M. Evans
to nearly 200 women at Sarah Caswell
hall yesterday afternoon. Consider-
able "pep" was instilled into the meet-
ing by frequent cheers led by Olga
Shenkman, '17, and her assistants.
After the address by Miss Evans, a
short business meeting was held at
which the officers of the women's ath-
letic board for the coming year were
elected as follows: Business manager,
Anna Lloyd, '18; publicity manager,
Marjorie Votey, '17; secretary, Con-
stance Winchell, '18; treasurer, Marie
Macaulay, '18; senior representative,

prize be given, the amount to be
named later, for the best chant for
putting "pep" into the hockey teams
this fall.%
The members of the athletic depart-
ment then adjourned to Palmer field,
where a committee had. prepared a
lunch composed of wieners and rolls,
the latter being toasted over a big
bonfire.
Before an audience of nearly 400,
Dean William Draper Lewis of the
University of Pennsylvania law school
last night addressed the Michigan Re-
publican club at the Union. Dean
Lewis explained his reasons for leav-
ing the Progressive party, of which
he was formerly a prominent member,
and his reasons for advocating the
election of Hughes for president.
He recited in detail the Republican
charges of the failure of Wilson in
handling the Mexican situation, ,the
Lusitania incident, and the Adamson
bill, the three problems that he con-
sidered the most vital and important
that the present administration had
dealt with. Each of the problems were
considered with special reference to
what Mr. Lewis characterized as "the
inability of the president to meet a
strong executive situation."
The meeting was enlivened by the
invitation of Mr. Lewis at the begin-
ning of his speech that his hearer ask
any questions that touched on the
present campaign, and his promise to
answer them to the best of his ability.
During the course of his address, Mr.
Lewis was obliged to go into the Pana-
ma tolls act, the Danbury hatters case,
the U-53 controversy, British censor-
ship of the mails, the Columbia in-
demnification bill, and several others.
