In each case the mative side won the debate. he contest held in University hall, which Michigan argued for the idonment of the Monroe Doctrine , part of our foreign policy, was a y contested debate, as was evi- ced by .the vote, which was 2 to 1. home team's rebuttal was excep- ally strong, while the Chicago de- rs failed to answer their argu- ts conclusively,avoiding, the real es of the question. Three Distinct Issues here were three distinct points: t, the negative contended that the rine is still one of protection, e their opponents argued that it been perverted to a policy of un- ifiable aggression; second, the af- ative asserted that the United es can defend itself by interna- al law without use of the Monroe :rine; and lastly, the negative ar- i that the document had remained ianged from 1823 to the present whereas the others stated that olicy was aggressive, entailing ecessary responsibilities. ie contestants in the local affair (Continued on page 4) AGE1MIENT OF "MISLEADING ADY" CANCELLE) BY lEAGUtE ue to the rise of unfortunate cir- stances, the engagement of "The eading Lady' ,for Wednesday night he Whitney theatre, has been can- d.

MAY OFFER PLAY TO J-HOPPERS Comedy Club Plans Presentation of "Pomander Walk" Wishing to add "PomanderIWalk" to the list of Junior hop festivities, members of the Comedy club are di- recting every effort towards the per- fection of the performance by that time. Nothing definite, however, can be predicted at present, as it is a ques- tion as to whether all the necessary arrangements can be completed before the end of examinations. Officers of the Drama league of Ann Arbor will witness a performance of the play today, in order to decide whether or not they will place the league's stamp of approval on the pro- duction. If ':ts report is favorable, it is thought that the townspeople will more readily fall in line to witness the To whip the cast into shape for the play, rehearsals will be conducted ev- ery night in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. It is also planned to have the cast go through its lines the Friday and Saturday afternoons before ex- aminations.

TO VOTE TODAY FOR ATHLETIC OFFIC-ERS Heavy Balloting Expected as Result of Large Number of Candidates for Different Offices RULES AGAINST SOLICITING APPARENTLY WELL OBSERVED Race for Interscholastic Managership !N arrows iDown to Three Men Athletic association officials expect that one of the largest votes in the history of the association will be cast at the annual election to be held today, owing to the large candidates for the different offices,. Although there has been a small amount of campaigning by friends of the candidates, there seems to have been very little organized work and pledging of votes for today's election. The candidates themselves have ap- parently kept well within the rules laid down by' the association. Yesterday's withdrawal of S. A. Op- penheimer, '15E, from the candidacy for interscholastic manager, leaves but three men running for that posi- tion. Immediately after the close of the election today, the annual meeting of the athletic association will be held, at which all members may be present. The annual report of the treasurer- will be given.

SEIDEL HAD START IN LIFE AS CARVER ARICNSOLOIST SINGS, HERE' JANE3O Socialist Leader Spent Many Studying Trade as Apprentice WORKEI) ACTIVELY FOR I Years I David Bispham, "Greatest American Baritone," to Appear at High School PAIRTY Emil Seidel, who lectures in Newber- ry hall tonight on "Socialism," had his start as a carver and designer. He was born of German parentage, in Schuyl- kill county, Pa., on Dec. 13, 1864, but his parents moved to Milwaukee five years later. He graduated from, one of the public schools there, and then entered his trade as an apprentice. When he was 22 years old, he went to Berlin, and spent his time there perfecting himself in his trade, and al- so attending night school. In 1892 he returned to Milwaukee, and then ad-' ded pattern-making to his other trades. In 1884 he helped organize the wood carvers, and later became a member of PROGRAM WILL BE IN ENGLISH David B.ispham, termed by many fol- lowers of music, "The Greatest Ameri- can Baritone," will appear in Ann Ar- bor on the evening of January 30, at the high school auditorium under the auspices of the university Y. W. C. A. He will be assisted by Woodruff Rogers, pianist. Mr. Bispham has the reputation of being the champion of English, for singing operas to English-speaking people, it being his policy to, carry through his programs in his native tongue. He will attempt to show the beauty and possibilities of song in the vernacular, not only with his singing, but with short talks on the subject. Paintings of William B. Gifford, in- clu ding a masterly executed canvas of the city of Jerusalem and several other equally effective oil reproduc- tions of Egyptian, Syrian, and conti- nental European scenes, will be put on exhibition to the public at 4:00 o'clock Monday afternoon, in the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. I. Howard, on the cor- ner of Church and Wahstenaw ave- nues. Mr. Gifford is a New York artist who has studied extensively in Paris and Florence, and, his portrayals of Holy Land life have been favorably passed upon by eastern critics. Di. UIMEINGS REPORTS SMALL POX SPrfEl AD NOW CONTROLLED Dr. H. H. Cummings, of the univer- sity health service staff, reported last night that no more cases of small-pox had developed, and that any possible spread of the disease had been check- ed. Lecture on "Les liserables" T'uesday "Les Miserables" is the subject of a talk to be given in French by Prof. Moritz Levi, of the French department, at 5:00 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, in Tappan hall. - Professor Levi gave two lectures in French at Kalamazoo during the past week, for the University extension service. the titles of which were "Mae- terlinck's Dramas," and "Parisian Life." FRESHMAN TRACK MEN TO MEET First Year Candidates Will Be Called Together Next Tuesday Freshman track candidates will be -alled together next Tuesday night, in. the trophy room of the gym, for their first meeting of the year. Although no official summons has been issued as yet, several of the first year men have been working out regu- larly in the gym for the past few weeks. Coach Farrell of the varsity squad, Captain Smith, "Hap"tHaff and "Jimmy"' Craig will speak at the fresh- man meeting. The 1918 squad, from present indi- cations, will be unusually strong in the dashes, as several sprinters of more than ordinary promise have put in an appearance. Scofield, one* of the members of the freshman relay team, which walked away with the inter-class race last fall at the Pennsylvania foot- ball game, has been running against "Hal" Smith and O'Brien, and, with a one yard handicap, has been forcing the two Varsity men to extend them- selves to the utmost.' Several promising milers have turn- ed up, and a couple of likely looking 440 men have put in an appearance. RIUY LOPEZ POPULAR OPENING IN HARVARD CHESS TOURNEY Ruy Lopez has established its popu- larity as an opening in chess tourna- ments once more, this time in the Har- vard-Michigan correspondence match that is at present being carried on. Of the five games, three have adopted the Ray Lopez moves, one of these being the double Ruy Lopez. In all three games Harvard is playing the white side. Michigan's two offensive games are of a more conservative type, the one being a Vienna game, and the other early changed from what promised to be a Queen's gambit to the French de- fense. In none of the five games has any advantage been secured by either side. The moves will be discusse'd at the regular meeting of the Chess and Checker club at the Union at 7:30 o'clock tonight.

Last year quartet music at intervals between an attempt was made to revive the so- several of the dances. ciety, but it failed. Just who will represent Michigan at Buffalo on February 5, against the University of Pennsylvania, in the medley relay race, is a big problem+ Coach Farrell stated last night that although the four fastest men in col- lege in the respective events would be taken along, as yet he hadn't the slightest idea as to who they would be. The medley affair is four laps, the first runner going 220 yards, the sec- ond a quarter of a mile, the third a half, and the last man a full mile. Captain Smith appears to be the log- ical selection for the first distance, as long as there is but one sprinter required, but 'O'Brien, last year's freshman crack, has been showing the captain the way down the floor on sev- eral occasions during the past week, and may possibly reverse the dope and land the place. 'Smith, however, is doped out to come through before the final selection is made. Whoever lands the position will have to run against Donald Lippin- cott. Lippincott, it will be remember- ed, finished second to Ralph Craig in the Olympic games in Sweden, in both dashes, but Coach Farrell stated that .he wasn't fearing this Olympic man as much as he was another. Smith's excellent performance at Har- vard in the 220 in the eastern inter- collegiates speaks for itself. In the quarter, however, an entirely different proposition is faced. Penn- sylvania boasts of a world beater in Meredith. He won this event in the eastern intercoilegiates last year, and holds the world's record for the half mile, besides. Murphy was the half-miler on last year's squad, but several other prom- ising 880 men have appeared, promi- nent among whom is Carver. Then again there is the possibility of switch- ing Murphy to the quarter, if Burby doesn't show enough speed. Several candidates appear for the mile, among them being Ufer, Carroll, Lynch and Donnelly. Ufer will be given a trial at both the mile and the half, so that the situation is about as complicated as one could wish. 4 EMTL SEIDEL i'raraaa.r uxa.s.ra.t j 4 II I .. y Admission E IL SEIDEL SOCIALIST EX-MAYOR OF MILWAUKEE WILL TALK ON 8:00 P.
