This was the outstanding result here tonight, after a meeting of the cabinet and conference between President.Wil- son and Chairman Stone of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations committee, and another day of stirring debate had occurred in the Senate chamber. The President, supported by his cabinet and Democratic leaders in Congress, is declared to be determined that the American government shall not be stampeded by war talk or cries of ven-' geance into rushing an army across tle Rio Grande to destroy in its in- fancy the new central government.

The merger is one of the marked oil amalgamations which has been put through since the original Standard Oil Company with all its underlying subsidiary concerns was formed. The other big companies which will join in the merger at once are the Associated Oil company, which is largely controlled by the Southern Pacific railroad company, and the Union oil company. There are several other smaller companies which are be- ing cosidered, but the time is not ripe for the announcement of their names. The California Petroleum com- pany will not be included in the merg- er at present, but may come in later, it was learned on the highest author- ity. It is believed that once the merger is put through that the 132 or more in- dependent oil companies operating in California and along the Pacific Coast will join the great organization. The company will be known as the Ameri- can Petroleum and Transit company and will have outstandifig $150,000,000 in stock and bonds. It is estimated that $125,000,000 will be needed to put through the merger, and this mount has already been arranged or. Union Will Help Leap-Year Girls Arrange Special Feature Danee for Jan. 21: Women to Invite Their Escorts A "Leap Year Party," full of fea- tures, innovations and surprises, has been arranged by the dance commit- tee of the Michigan Union for Friday, January 21, and will be a special dance, in addition to the regular weekly Sat- urday night dance. Its primary pur- pose is to furnish the women of thea campus their first real opportunity of Ithe year. The young women will have the privilege of inviting any man of theirl acquaintance who is a member of the1 Union, but in all cases the campus male must purchase the ticket and do the escorting. But even the purchas- ing of the ticket doeshnot give him the power to make out her program, for that is also -one of the special privi-t leges that the "female of the species" will enjoy for that evening alone. For the first time the men will have to be the "wall flowers" and are not even allowed the right of asking tol sit out a dance. It is not an equal suffrage dance, rather is it a complete turning of the tables upon the men. The committee expects that in the fu- ture the students will be more con-l siderate of the university women. Special music, special programs, and feature dances will be on the list< of the evening's pleasures, with the dancing lasting from 9:0 to 2:00 o'clock. The new ticket selling sys- tem will apply to this dance as well as to the regular weekly dances. l PROFS 0 TOWASHINGTON Dr. W. S. Franklin Delivers Lecture Before Physics Class .Dr. W. S. Franklin, acting profes- sor of Physics at the Columbia Uni- versity, gave a most interesting lec- ture yesterday on thy "Mechanical Analogies of Electricit y and Magnet- ism." Dr. Franklin believes that the best way to teach a student is toI teach by building up itihis mind phy- sical ideas with which he is familiar, t in much the same way that one would build a house. With this end in view, Dr. Franklin has drawn many parallels between mechanics and electricity, illustrating by means of some prepared apparatusf which he carries with him, the essen- tial way in which the most important electric phenomena are exactly anal- agous to the fundamental principles of mechanics. Dr. Franklin is at present making a tour of the country, giving lectures on this and other subjects of which he has made a special study. GERMANS IN NEED OF FOOD? Berliner Zeitung Declares Affairs Are DesperateF Lodon, Jan. 12.-Despite the asser- tions made in the Reichstag that food, is ample and starvation in Germany is impossible the German press con-; tinues to print denials of the authori-, ties' claims and to give indications of the increasing pinch caused by the British blockade. The Berliner Zei- tung says it is difficult to imagine that things could go worse just now with- out some crowning disaster. The masses of the people are hungry all day long, many articles of food hav- ing reached a price already beyond the reach of the families of the work- ing class. French Land on Greek Island of Corfu London, Jan. 12.-A French force has been landed on the Greek island of Corfu for provisional occupation, according to an Athens dispatch.

An exceptionally large crowd wel- comed Governor Woodbridge N. Fer- ris at the meeting of the Vocational Conference yesterday afternoon. Governor Ferris urged that women do all in their power to conduct edu- cation so that they can go out into the world and do something. He em. phasized the fact that if women want to get anything they must get it for themselves. "No woman should get married unless she can support a hus- band " Governor Ferris stated that in his opinion, the ideal of every woman should be to have a home, and that unless she were capable of car- ing for her husband and family in an emergency, she should not think of marriage. According to Mr. Ferris this will not disrupt the home but will. tend to make it even more firm and secure. In conclusion the governor knowledge. She is handling the pay envelopes of the nation, and should be educated to take proper care of them." He stated that teaching, li- brarian, shop and social service work have been ruined because of women's ignorance of business methods. In closing, Dr. Barnes urged women to study economics above all things, as he feels that a wide knowledge of the principles underlying the conditions in operation today are necessary if a woman desires to succeed in the busi- ness world. Last evening a social meeting was held at Newberry Residence, at which Miss Mary Snow spoke informally. Miss Snow was besieged by a stream of women desiring. information about various lines of vocational work. President Harry B. Hutchins an- nounced that conferences might be ar-- said, "If you take up a vocation, take ranged with Dr. Bertha Van Hoosen with you the ideal of a home.

WOMAN DELEGATE SPLITS FORD PARTY Automobile King Mortified at Actions of Associates; Rumor of Illness False FORD LEAVES PARTY HASTIIY The Hague, Jan. 14.-America's per- manent delegates to the Ford peace1 conference were elected only after bit- ter struggles over procedure. The dif- ficulty developed between a party led by Business Manager Plantiff on the+ one hand, and the associates of Mad-j ame Schwimmner on the other. Madame Schwimmer, with her clos- est associates, drew up a petition and presented it, wishing to have it passed upon as a whole. This was resented by Mr. Plantiff and many others, who] demanded the matter be opened to all delegates for free nomination and vot- ing. The Plantiff forces finally won out. It became possible to make public today certain details concerning the7 departure of Mr. -Ford from the ex- pedition at Christiania, in which+ Madame Schwimmer and her friends were again implicated. It is said that Mr. Ford's first difficulty with any member of the party was when he ex- amined Madame Schwimmer's peace+ document for the warring nations and found it a politely phrased declaration of nothing. Mortified, he returned to his cabin, and when the reception of the Scan- dinavian nations did not encourage the success of his party he .decided to leave. Madame Schwimmer, Mr. Loch- ner and others knew nothing of his plan. When they saw him departing from the hotel at Christiania they thought lie was being kidnapped, and rushed after the automobile loudly shouting for help. Mr. Ford's chauf- feur, however, showed fight and the Schwimmerites retired. It is a general belief here in The Hague that Madame Schwimmer is with the party in the interests of German propaganda. Iowa Team Loses Basketball Game Iowa City, Ia., Jan 14.-The Univer- sity of Wisconsin basketball team de- feated the Iowa five 36 to 31 here last night. MICHIGAN SECURES FOOTBA1LLTRAINER Harry Tuthill to Condition Gridiron f thletes; Farrell to Devote Whole Energy to Trlack FORMERLY WITH ARMY ELEVEN Announcement has just been made by the Athletic Association that a sep- arate trainer for the football team, in the person of Harry Tuthill, of the Detroit Tigers, will have charge of the conditioning of the gridiron men next fall. This action comes as the result of a long-felt need of more attention being paid to track work in the fall months, and will relieve "Steve" Far- rell of the necessity of taking his time from track and cross-country pros- pects to devote to the football squad. Track activities at Michigan will re- ceive a very timely boost by the re- tention of Farrell as an all-year-round coach, in that he can devote his per- sonal attention to the cinder men from the opening of school, thus doing away with the necessity of their working out their own salvation until the end of the football season. Cross-coun- try running will be especially bene- fitted, it is thought, and the Wolver- ines will undoubtedly be able to pro- duce better equipped teams in this sport in the future. The loss of "Steve" to the football squad seems to be partly compensated by the ability of the man selected to train the squad next year. Tuthill has been trainer of the West Point eleven for the past five seasons with very marked success, and during the summer seasons has been official con- ditioner of the Detroit Tigers. Michigan's action in this matter will place the university in much the same position in regard to track, as occupied by the other large univer- sities of the country. Cornell's suc- cess in track may be partly at least attributed to the fact that the coach- ing of the track athletes is not inter- rupted during the gridiron season. overnmuent Purchases Building Site Cheboygan, Jan. 14.-The govern- ment has purchased the V. S. Moloney site at Main and Elm streets for a federal building. Skating, Carnival Campaign Starts University Women Will Start to Raise Money for Clubhouse on Palmer Field As a means of raising funds for an Athletic Clubhouse for women, a skat- ing carnival will be held at Wein- berg's rink next Tuesday evening. The program, which has not yet been fully decided upon, will include among other attractions two hockey games between picked university teams, music by a local band, and skating for all. The event marks the opening of the campaign on the part of the newly or- ganized Women's Athletic Department for the erection of a clubhouse on Palmer Field. The need for some- thing of this kind has been felt over since the women's athletic field has been in use. Money for the purpose 1 has not been appropriated by the re-1 gents on account of other more im- portant demands, so the women of the university have taken matters into7 their own hands. It is expected that if their dream of a clubhause is real-< ized, its convenience and 42essibility will encourage a keener interest in 1 athletics among the women. It is planned to realize as much as possible from the present venture. By arrangement with the maagement ofE the rink, the money from the tickets1 sold at the gate will go to the man- agement, but all money realized fromt campus sales goes to the Clubhouse Fund. Students are therefore urged to procure their tickets beforegoing to the rink,. for that will be the only way in which money will reach its in- tended destination. Tickets have been placed on sale at, George Moe's athletic supply store on North University. The usual entrance fee of 15 cents will be charged. The program will start at 7:30 and laste till the usual closing hour of the rink. f DETROIT CHOIR FOR SERVICE William Howland, Director of Templet Beth El Musicc The choir of Temple Beth El, De-T troit will sing at the Third Unionc service at 7:00 o'clock tomorrow nighta in Hill Auditorium, when Dr. WilliamT Rosenau, of Johns Hopkins University,f will speak under the auspices of the Jewish Students' congregation.

The Monte- negrin kin, refused to sign any form of peace proposals with the invaders, until after the Austrian guns were tramed upon Cettinje, his capital, a day or two ago. The aged ruler is reported as hav- ing wept as he signed the armistice which is said to mean a virtual sur- render to the central powers. He first called his counsellors to him, and offered to retreat to the moun- tains and fight it out till death. He was somewhat bitter toward the en- tente allies for providing only prom- (Continued on Page Six) END MICHIGANENSIAN SALE Exhaust Edition Last Night; Receive Subscriptions Till Noon Today The wind-up of the Michiganensian subscription sale last night found the edition exhausted, but in view of the fact that there may be some who have not had an opportunity to subscribe, a table will be placed in the corridor of the general library this morning, and subscriptions will be received un- til noon.

Attempting to turn too short a cor- ner, the machine of Dr. D. M. Cowie of the university hospital collided with a taxi of the Ann Arbor Taxicab company last night about' 11:00 o'clock. The accident occurred at the junction of Liberty Street and Fifth Avenue, and was witnessed by several pedestrians, who assert that both cars were proceeding at a reasonable rate of speed, with the full quota of lights burning. Neither party to the acci- dent sustained personal injuries, but the right front wheel of the taxi was sheared off, and the fender on the doc- tor's car was crumpled. ca - - Newberry Hall Monday 8 o'Clock One of America's Greatest Socialists EUGENE V.
