WORK TO BEIN NEXT SUMMER
To Have Seminary and Faculty Read-
ing Rooms; Capacity of Stacks
600,000 Volumes
Work on Michigan's new half-mil-
lion dollar Abrary will begin next
summer. The regents have appro-
priated $350,000, and this added to the
value of the old stacks, will make
the value of the new structure close
to $500,000.
The building will have an imposing
appearance. It is to consist of four
stories with six or seven stories of
stacks in the rear. It will be built
of red brick with Bedford limestone
trimmings and a red tile roof. -
The architect is Albert Kahn, of De-
troit, who also designed Hill audi-
torium, the engineering building, and
the new natural science building.
According to the new plans the
main reading room will be on the see-
ond floor and will extend across the
whole front of the building. It will
be 50 feet wide, 170 feet long, and 40
feet liigh, and will be capable of seat-
ing 375. A reading room 50 feet wide
and 72 feet long, is. to be provided on
the first floor for sophomores and
freshmen. The magazine room will
be on the second floor and will hold
four times the number of periodicals
which the present reading room holds.
In all, it is planned that the various
reading rooms can easily accommo-
date 1,000 students, thus making it
large enough for a ~uniersity of
14,000.
The new stacks will be erected at
right angles to the present ones, and
will be capable of holding 600,000 vol-
umes. .Sufficient provision has been
made for future increases in the size
of the building which will make it
possible to hold over a million vol-
umes. This will somewhat surpass the
present capacity of the Harvard li-
brary.
The binding rooms will occupy the
basement and will give that depart-
ment the much needed extra floor
space.

Midnight Disaster Puts Several Thou-
sand Phones Out of Commission;
Great Lops Entailed
Several thousand subscribers will
be without telephone service for two
days at least, as a result of a disas-
trous fire in the basement of the State
Savings Bank building, which occur-
red at 12:18 o'clock this morning. On
reaching the scene of the conflagra-
tion, the local fire company discovered
that the basement was in flames. An
overheated furnace is reported to be
the cause of the fire,.
The bank building itself was injured
to no great extent, but several thou-
sand dollars' damage was done to the
telephone exchange located on the
third floor of the building. According
to a statement made by J. J. Kelly,
manager of the exchange, eight pairs
of tables situated in the basement
were destroyed.
Mr. Kelly got into communication
with Detroit at once, and was assured
that workmen would be dispatched im-
mediately. Owing to the fact that the
cables run up to the third floor

ATTACKST A TELL
.)E4LA)E LL(EliRE AD 'I 0 T
ANGELI UNIT OF DISCONTEN T
If Uned State Had Heeded Anigeips
Adriee it Would Now Be "Under
Heel of the Prussian."
Prof. Claude H. Van Tyne, of the his-
tory department, in an interview ltlst
night as to his opinion of Norman An-
gell, who lectured in University hall
Friday evening, gave out a series of
statements in which he regards the
noted pacifist as a theorist and a
dreamer, and his lecture a public
danger.
In the course of his statenonts,
which follow in full, he attacks the
method of answering questions which
Angell used at the close of his speech.
and by reference stated that the lec-
turer was ojuibbling and attempting to
sweep the audience to conclusion by
a "gust of sentiment." It is these his-
torical conclusions, wrongly conceived,
according to Professor Tan Tyne, that
has called forth this criticism of not
only that defect but also other effects
which he believes result from such a
lecture.
The statements given out by Profes-
sor Van Tyne are as follows:
"You ask my opinion of Norman
Angell, and I suppose I ought not to
give it, because I feel very intolerant
of a man who should be at home help-
ing to save his native land, but who
prefers to stay safely over here
spreading abroad ideas that may ruin
our country. Those who heard him
Friday night know that the report in
the Free Press this morning which, of
course his press agent gave out, doesn't
carry at all the message his real
speech did carry. On the subject of
preparedness, for example, every time
he said he was not opposed to that the
subtle innuendo, and the suggestion
which followed, showed that he was
decidedly opposed to preparedness.
Had his own country listened to his
advice and argument with which he
was so liberal for years before the l

IIenry Flord': Peace Ship Left Its Pier
- &P'day Afternoon Amid Will Talk on "Drift and Mastery" at
Mers 0' Throw Meeting at 3:00 r'clock rills
----After dO()n in Clubhouse
.._;New De:. 4.-Amid scenes ex-
traordinary, remarkal2e as to be ai-
mos ieyui oelief, Henry Ford's(
peace ship, Oscar II., steamed out
from its pier at Hoboken this after-
noon bearing a strange assorted com-
pany that has proclaimed that it will
stop the war.
The ship got away at 13 minutes
after 3:00 o'clock. A crowd of fully
12,000 that jammed the Scandinavian-
American line dock, boiled over with
cheerine-, weeming and laughing at
M. Ford whenever one or an-
other or his more or less celebrated
passengers came to the rail to make
a speech.
In all a careful count of the passeng-
er list shows that 142 sailed in the first,
and second cabins. At least a dozen
more came late and were not listed,
and probably 160 made up the party.
The probable actual peace delegates
did not exceed 50.
The last man to bid Ford good-bye
was former S retary of State Will-
iam Je'onngs Bryan. He stayed on
board the ship for half an hour.
Crowded close to the pier when the
ship sailed away were Mr. Bryan,
Mrs. Ford and Edsel Ford.
Among the crowd of college stu-
dents on board the ship was Lee Jos-
lyn, of Michigan. Students from all
corners of the United States were
gathered on board the ship.

News From Bethmnan-Hollweg Awaited
by All Governments; Press
Wants War's Close
New York, Dec. 4.-Captain Franz
von Papen and Captain Boy-ed, two
attaches of the German embassy,
whose activities in naval and military
affairs have been displeasing to the
administration, directed the sending of
more than $12,000,000 to prepare for
a revolution in Mexico such that it
would put Victoriano Huerto back in
power and bring that country face. to
face with the United States. This was
learned today from the Mexican con-
sulate in this city.
The story involves Lieutenant Franz
Rincelef, the wealthy German who for
several months was leader of the Ger-
man propaganda in this country, and
Andrew Gneloy, a proinoter with in-
terests in Mexico, who acted as a sort
of scout for Rincelef. These two men-
prepared the way for the warlike work
that was done afterward by the two
German attaches. It also showed how
the Germans employed Mexican wo-
men to help in their plans, how they
paid thousands of dollars to American
women to aid in gaining information
and in finding Mexicans who would
sell their passports obtained from the
Mexican government to Germans.
Germans Demand Evidence
Washington, Dec. 4.-Germany will
not permit the cases against Captains
Boy-ed and von Papen to be closed
with the mere requirements by this
country for their recall. Germany will
nsist upon the statement of the evi-
dence upon which the United States
Lias taken its action.
Although no instructions have so
aar reached Washington from Berlin;

Ihe German government will ask for

Washington, Dec. 4.-The 64th Con-
gress will start off Monday with the
Democratic leaders at odds over the
question of national consent as to'
what measures shall be introduced to
raise revenues and funds to prepare
the army and navy against the time
of possible warfare.
In the House of Representatives,
Kitchen, a Democratic leader, is op-
posed to the national defensive pro-
gram of the administration. Notwith-
standing the popular demand for pre-
parAdness, there is a deep current of
sentiment against the appropriation
for the two military establishments. It
is notably true of the delegation from
the southern states.
Representative Doremus, of Michi-
gan, dropped the remark that the
cause of preparedness was especially
strong in Michigan.
Washington, Dec. 4.-As a result of
action taken today by the Democratic
caucus of the House of Representa-
tives the southern states are once
