Burby, Max Robinson, Fontana,John, Huntington and possibly one or two others will be shifted to the half mile this week, in an effort to send two teams to the Des Moines event. The present prospects are good for a mile relay team, with Carroll and Ufer as the two mainstays. Carroll ran a sensational mile at Syracuse Saturday night, romping away with the field in handy fashion, and completing the distance over three seconds faster than any Syracuse man had ever done. He finished 50 yards ahead, lapping a couple of men, and was begging Farrell to let him enter the 880, almost before the perspiring Orange runners had crossed the line. Fox and Donelly can both step the mile in pretty fast time, and Michigan should boast of a fast four mile team. However, with Carroll, Fox and Uferi as the basis of a two mile team, a pret-i ty fast quartet could be developed to1 compete in the two mile event. Far-. rell will try to send a team to run in both distances, if possible., CLUBS MAY JOURNEY TO COAST Union Opera to Give Performance on: April 9 for Townspeople Michigan's combined glee and man-I ddlin clubs will make a trip to the Pa--f cific coast in the spring of next year,F according to plans announced by Man-t ager D. R. Ballentine, '16, followingl the action of the senate council lastz night. While the action of the council1 merely gave the musical clubs per-j mission to take a trip during the spring holidays in 1916, plans are al-t ready under way for the western jaunt. Permission was also granted thec Union opera to give an extra perform- ance in Ann Arbor on the night of April 9. This performance willb hec given especially for the benefit of the townspeople, although students will be permitted to attend. The added per-l formance will also serve as a dress re- hearsal for the cast, inpreparation forI the trip that has been arranged for thei Easter vacation. In allowing -this ex-4 tra date, the senate council ratifiedI the previous action taken by the Presi-I dent and the committee on student af-t fairs. No action in regard to the recent re-1 organization activities of the student council was given out last night, al-I though it was expected that the ques-i tion would be brought up at this meet-e ing. Progress of Orient Will Give it Equal Rank 100 Years Hence, He Thinks KINDS OF WAR PREPARATIONS "We cannot have a purely business relationship with the far East; we must also be their friends," said Ham- ilton Wright Mabie, in his lecture at Hill auditorium last night. "There have been prophesies of war with Ja- pan within the next 20 years. . As a matter of fact, Japan has never been guilty of a single discourtesy to the United States, and she has never vio- lated a single treaty stipulation since she came into the family of nations." After touching upon the character- istics of the eastern peoples, and es- pecially noting their qualities of stoi- cism, patience, discipline, patriotism, courtesy and passion for education, Mr. Mabie turned to a consideration of relations between the occident and the orient. He stated that the East would rank within 100 years with any of the western countries. Speaking of China, he remarked, "China has begun her progress, and though there may be halts, setbacks or even tragedies, the movement is started and will con- tinue. If the supremacy 200 years hence passes to Ohina, let'it pass. She will acquire it only if she. shall be de- serving of it, for the future field will be free for all nations and fair." Preparation for war, Mr. Mabie pointed out, was of two kinds, the ma- terial equipment and psychological at- titude. The latter, he claimed, has' been constantly growing, not as ai result of actual antipathies, but as an outcome of false ideas circulated and1 abetted by newspapers and alarmists. "The press in Japan is even yellow- er than in America, incredible 'as it may seem. The institution is only about 40 year old in Japan, and asf Japanese journalists are very ener- getic, publications are just as unreli- able, and issue the same sort of lies1 as American papers. My chief injunc - tion in this connection, is: Do not be-i lieve a report concerning the Japanese or Chinese until it is verified. Wheni it has been confirmed, exercise your judgment as you may see fit."s In concluding,- Mr. Mabie pointed to the employment of justice, imagination and courtesy as the key to our future conduct towards the East which, he said, has ever offered, and still offers,i unparalled opportunities for the ac- complishment of America's dream ofr world-wide peace. Elis Win Championship in Basketball Yale won the intercollegiate basket-I ball championship by defeating Dart- mouth Saturday night. Cornell finish-i ed in second plac~e in the standings, being only one game behind the Eli passers. Princeton and Columbia were tied for third place.

G. Mill interscholastic manager, wlh NOTICE. At its April meeting, the board in control of student publications will choose a business manager and man- aging editor for 1915 Students Direc- tory. It is the policy of the board in filling the positions on the publications under its control to award them on the basis of merit to those who have served in minor positions on the pub- lication to which the positions pertain. It sometimes happens, however, that no one who has served on the publi- cation during one year is eligible or capable of filling one of the leading positions thereon for the ensuing year. When either of these sets of circum-. stances arise the board finds it neces- sary to consider outside candidates. This notice should not be considered as an intimation that either of these' situations will arise this year. All applications for these positions should be in the hands of Prof. F. N. Scott on or before March 31 in or- der to be considered. Each application should contain a statement of the ex- perience of the applicant and should be accompanied by the applicant's ell- gibility card and any letters of recom- mendation which he may have.'

The pole vault in the interclass meet will be run off at the time of the "Dub" meet, the first three men to place in that event winning numerals. All the other events, scheduled for the "Dub" meet, carry with them as prizes, differ- ent varieties of such food as will coun- teract all good effect on physical con- dition, which training for the meet may have had. The trophies will be awarded in pro- portion to the number of entries in each event, the distribution of the food being in accordance to the place in which the men finish, under which sys- tem first may receive nothing, and last by the management. Because of the fact that the number of prizes will vary with the number of entries in the event, Intramural Director Rowe wishes no one to enter an event unless he expects to actually take part in that part of the program. The program of events will include the eight regular indoor events, high and low hurdles, shot-put, 35-yard dash, quarter, half and mile runs, and the pole vault. In addition to these, five more events have been added to, the program, entries, being looked for in rope-climbing, - dipping, chinning, standing broad jump, and standing high jump. Doctor May will act in the capacity of referee and starter, while Director Rowe will be clerk-of-course. The oth- er officials will be chosen from the ; Varsity track athletes. Closer Relationship Each one of the 160 foreign students in the university has -received an invi- tation to the Cosmopo-Night to be held in the big room of the Union, at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow night. The idea of the affair is to bring the foreign stu- dents here into closer relationship. with the Americans in the university. The exact program for the enter- tainment has not yet been announced, but a few of the numbers have been given out. George Moritz, '15, and Chase B. Sikes, '16, will render a num- her of songs, with Selden Dickenson, '13-'15L, accompanying them .on the piano. A game of shuttlecock, which is described as Chinese calisthenics,, will be played.
