Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Jan. 21.-"With'
Roosevelt on the Republican ticket I
would not hesitate to say that the
Republican party would be beaten,,,
said former President William Howard
Taft when interviewed today by the
press board %f Vassar college.
"With Mr. Whitman as the Presi-
dential candidate it would be hard
to tell what the result would be. It
would be the same if Mr. Hughes were
nominated but evidently he does not
want it. I am not only beaten out of
the race but I am kept out of it."
Mr. Taft said that although Presi-
dent Wilson minimized the question
of prepaiedness a year ago he made
it the. chief subject of his message
this year. He declared that he be-
lieved it would be difficult to put Mr.
Wilson's plans in operation, saying
that it would tak $200,000,000 to car-
ry them out.
Mr. Taft said that a large navy was
the most important feature of national
preparedness plans.

Only five tickets for the J-Hop are

of the fraternities and house clubs
have not definitely decided as to the
number of chaperones for their house

Was Started
El Paso, Tex., Jan. 21.-Governor
Nacio Emriquez of the state of Chi-
huahua arrived at Juarez this after-
noon accompanied by his staff.
"I came here to organize the civil
government of the State of Chihuahua
on the border." Governor Emriquez
said of the report of Villa's capture:
"I have no knowledge as to how the
report started and I have had no con-
firmation of it." The military author-
ities are trying to get news from their
outlying commands.
The governor declared that a cam-
paign against General Benjamin Ar-
gunedo and his allied forces was about
to be launched by some 4,000 men, un-
der personal command of General
Brebino, who has left Chihuahua City
for Torreon to assume direction of the
military forces against Argunedo.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Broadsides of
criticism were aimed against the navy,
the naval system, and those respons-
ible for it by speakersbeforedthe Na-
tional Security Congress today.
George von L. Meyer, former sec-
retary of the navy, asserted that in-
creasing appropriations would do no
good until the basic faults, one of
proper organization and lack of per-
sonnel, were remedied.
Charles E. Curtiss, president of the
International Curtiss Marine Turbine
company, criticized the secretary of
the navy for putting forth inaccurate
statements regarding the cost of build-

private plants and suggested an in-

HOBBS EXPRESSES
HIS OPINIONS ON
GARGOYLENUMBER'
CLAIMS PUBLICATION LACKED AN,
ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF ;
' ~THE FACTS;
AGAI NST CLASS DISCUSS ION
Michigt Man Offers Tract of Land
for Use of University if Mill-
tary Training Is Adopted
In airinterview yesterday afternoon,
Prof. W. H. Hobbs, of the Geology
department, in commenting on the,
:military training issue of the Gargoyle,
expressed the opinion that that pub-,
lication, in intimating that he was in
the habit of using his classroom as a
means of propagatng his ideas in re-
gard to military training, was acting
beyond its authority, and without any-
adequate knowledge of the facts.
1hProfessor Hobbs strongly condemned
the practice of using the classroom
for the purpose of expressing partisan
ideas -in regard to the war. He as-
serted that although he understood
that this was done in other classrooms,
he himself had been most careful to
'abstain from any word or action which
would afford students the slightest
opportunity to draw any such conclu-
sions.
He intimated that a full and free
discussion of the subject of military
training was at all times to be encour-
aged, but he did not regard the class-
room as the proper place to carry on
such discussion. .
In regard to the Gargoyle, he re-
marked, "I do not consider the attack
personal, but the Gargoyle is speaking
without a knowledge of the facts. I
am afways very careful to exclude all
matters of partisan interest from my
classroom. Entirely aside from facul-
ty regulations in that regard, I, per-
sonally, do not approve of that way of
doing."
Discussing the prospects for mili-
tary training at Michigan, Professor
Hobbs announced that Mr. W.rE Us-
derdown, manager of the Huron Farms
company, has consented, in case mili-
tary "training is adopted, to allow the
university the use of a large tract of
unimproved land situated near what
is known as the Blake farm, about
fwo miles down the Huron river. This
lend, now controlled by the Huron
Farms company, an adjunct to the

Only a Fe1nCop (lies Ava~ilble at Va-
rions News Stands
All previous sales records or the
Cargoyle were broken yesterday when
the Military Training issue was prac-
tically sold out within a few hours,
after its first appearance. Last night
no copies were available except a,
small number in various news stands.
The business staff reports the campus
sale to belarger than ever before, 250
copies having been sold in less than
.0 minutes during the period between
the 10 and 11 o'clock classes.
The issue really taken on the na-
ture of a philippic, -but the sarcasm
contains no touch of acrimony, and
the satire, being of the most genial
sort, in no way mars the general ef-
fect. A high standard of excellence in
both art and general reading matter,
combined with the discrimination
shown in selection of exchanges, un-
doubtedly form the basis for the great,
popularity which this number has won.,
DEAN LLOY MAKES
CLUBOOMPLANS
(.diate Department Will Try to Se-
cure Social Center for Grad-
nate Students
HAS BEEN PROVEN SUCCESSFUL1
Tentative plans ,are being made by
Dean Lloyd of the graduate depart-
ment to secure clubrooms for the use
of graduate students, which it is hoped
will fill a long-felt want in the social
line. Separate rooms will be pro-
vided for the men and for the women,
if the plan proves feasible, and a
recreation center will be established,
it is hoped, which will enable the stu-
dents of the department to meet often-
er and get to know each other better.
"The plan has proved a tremendous
success in other large universities,
notably Harvard, Columbia and Chi-
cago," said Dean Lloyd. "Of course
the one at Harvard makes no provi-
sion for women, since there are none
in the department.
"There is an immediate need for
something &f this kind," he continued.
"1 hope to procure temporary quarters
of some kind until something more
permanent can be arranged for. Ev-
entually, 1 think, rooms can be had
in the new Michigan Union building,
but that is anticipating a little.
"The rooms will serve as a read-
ing room and general meeting center.
When we get in the Union quarters
perhaps coffee and a light lunch could
be served. Receptions could be held
and at convenient times little depart-
ment gatherings of various kinds.
"At present there is very little so-
cial life among the students of this
department. Most of them are not
living at home, and so feel the need
of some kind of social diversion and
relaxation. And since they are older
than the general run of undergradu-
ates, and not quite so intimately con-
nected with student activities, their
pleasures must necessarily be differ-
ent."

Choosing of Representatives from Each
Departmient Has Proven to
Be Effective
I1T 1DEPARTMENT HAS THREE
At the meeting of the board in con-
trol of student publications held yes-
terday, the following seniors were se-
lected from the various departments
to act as associate editors of the 1916
Michiganensian:
Engineering - Humphrey M. K.
Grylls, Gordon D. Cooke.
Literary--Muriel M. Tyson, Edward
P. Wright, Irwin C. Johnson.
Combined courses--E. S. Thornton,
Homeop.
Law-John F, Scott, Clarence H.
Swain son.
Medicine-Sam W. Donaldson.
This action is in accordance with the
usual custom of choosing one or two
men from each department to work in
conjunction with the managing editor
n producing the annual. In past years
this practice has been found very ef-
fective, since it enables the staff to
get in close touch with the work of
the different departments.

CLOSE GONTEST;
IDGES TWO TO ONE
OUT OF 16 DEBATES WITH INSTI-
TUTION MICHIGAN HAS NINE
TO HER CREDIT
NEW SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESS
Teams Closely Balanced in Argument;
Michigan Speakers Superior
' in Delivery
Continuing her established record in
forensic activities, the University of
Michigan won a closely contested de-
bate from Northwestern university in
:Hill auditorium last night by a split
decision, two judges voting for the
affirmative of the literacy test ques-
tion, supported by Michigan, and one
casting his ballot for the negative,
as advanced by Northwestern.
The teams were closely balanced in
the argument they advanced, but the
Michigan speakers undoubtedly were
superior in presentment,. due to their
forceful, direct and earnest delivery.
Interest in the contest was height-
ened by th-e fact that a win for the
Methodists would even up the score
between the two schools. Last night's
debate was the sixteenth meeting be-
tween them, and the victory was the
ninth for the supporters of the Maize
and Blue.
* The debate was the first given under
the new method of allowing all stu-
dents free admission to university
forensic contests and 2000 were pres-
ent to welcome the inauguration of the
system. The presence of the band add-
ed additional interest.
W. M. Brucker, '16L, opened the case
for the affirmative. He pointed out
the change which had taken place in
the immigration problem and proposed
a remedy, the literary test, Such a
test was shown to be in line with our
present policy of immigration, to be
sound and reasonablegand to be one
which would make the solution of our
problems easier.
The opening speech for the negative
was given by E. E. Voight, who con-
tended that such a test would judge °
a man not by his ability or usefulness
but by the opportunities for education
he had enjoyed and that its adoption
would discriminate against the deserv-
ing peasant class in favor of a ques-
tionable city population.
J R.-Cotton, '16, continued the af-
firmative case by showing literacy to
be a qualification which could be eas-
ily secured if the prospective immi-
grant possessed the ambition and
stamina to prepare himself for it, and
that literacy was desirable as it made
the immigrant more likely to be assim-
ilated. The negative contentions of
Charles D. Lowry demonstrated the
lack of connection between literacy
and character.
A. J. Stoddard, '17L, closed the af-
firmative case by citing the benefits to

Post-
Pekin, Jan. 21.-The coronation of
Yuan Shi Kai as emperor of China has

southern China.
The foreign office notified the vari-j

government had decided that the en-

in February, but that Yuan Shi Kai
had issued an order cancelling the
arrangements, in view of the dis-

intimation was given when the en-

Government officials estimate that
not more than six months will be
recpuired to quiet the disturbances in

Jacob S. Shields, member of the
board of lectureship of the First
Church of Christ, Scientist, of Boston,
Mass., in a lecture on Christian Science
as the religion of divine law, in the
Whitney theatre Thursday afternoon,
said:
"The Mosaic law, 'Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me' is the origin
and basis of all true religion. Christ
Jesus taught the same law. Christian
Science accepts the law in all its
completeness, as expounded by both
Moses and Christ Jesus.
"Jesus came to present to the world
a godly wisdom by which sin, disease
anf death could be eliminated. That
there is a divine law, wisdom, and
power which was a secret from the
world, is evidenced by the marvellous
demonstrations of Jesus.
"He understood the law which leads
men to the realization of eternal life.
The same divine law is operative
and available today; is always pres-
ent, and universal because it is in-
finite"
