Advocating a federation of all Eng-
lish speaking peoples under a con-
stitution coniparable to that of the
United States, in order to oppose the
doctrine of sovereignty held by Euro-
pean nations, Darwin P. Kingsley,
president of the New York Life Insur-
ance company, contrasted democracy
with sovereignty i his speech before
150 i People fiN Hill auditorium last
night. "The Trilogy of Democracy"
was Mr. Kingsley's subject and his
talk, which was based upon an elab-
or ate comparison between ancient
Creek and tragedies and modern con-
ditions, was the first of a series of
free lectures on "Preparedness" un-
(er the auspices of the Ann Arbor
b)ranch of the National Security league.
"The doctrines of sovereignty and
the principles of democracy cannot
exisi in the same world," declared the

01/1916 Opera,
"T~res ilouge" to Ble Official Titlie of
This Year's Student
Production
"Tres Rouge" is the name of the
1916 Michigan Union opera, according
to an official announcement made yes-
terday by those in charge. The opera
is the product of W. A. P. John,.'16,
and H3. A. Schradzki, '15L.
The play centers about three red-
haired girls, which fact furnishes the
basis for the title. The first act is
laid at a summer home in Newport,
while the second act is a fancy dress
ball at the same place.
A rehearsal of the chorus and cast
parts was held yesterday afternoon,
under the direction of Mr. Morgan.
The cast rehearsal last night con-
sisted chiefly in going over recent
changes made in the lines. Another
chorus rehearsal will be held at the
Union at 7:00 o'clock tonight, and all
tryouts are urged to be present. The
cast will rehearse at 4:00 o'clock to-
day.
Director Morgan expects to go to
Detroit today to look after the scenery
now being made. Formal announce-
nient of the trip, cast, and chorus per-
sonnel will be made in a few days.

INVESTIATE "ATTEMPT

Passenger Train as Miraculous Fs.
cale When Workman Has Train
Signalled
Chicago, Feb. 14.-An investigation
of what may have been an attempt to
wreck the Detroit night express, a
Michigan Central passenger train car-
rying more than 300 passengers, has
been begun by the police of Hammond,
Ind.
Tae train had a miraculous escape at
10 o'clock Sunday night when it stop-
ped only a few feet from a switch
locked with a heavy brake-beam.
The train was stopped only by the
qui k action of the tower man, who
was notified of the defect by a work-
ian who rushed to the tower just
as the train was approaching. The
train ran almost past the tower when
the engineer saw the signal and threw
on his emergency brake. So far as
could be ascertained, none of the pas-
sengers were injured by the sudden
stop.
SAYS THIAT CITY HAS RIGHT TO
PUiMP WATER ON STE E FARM
Judge E. D. Kinne recently ruled
that the city of Ann Arbor can not
be deprived of its right to pump water,
from its wells on the Steere farm and
refused to enjoin the city on the pe-
tition of Gustave Schenk, a farmer
whose lands adjoin the Steere farm.
In an effort to obtain a pure water
supply, the city has been conducting
tests at the Steere farm and Schenk
charged that the tests have caused his
wells to go dry.
It was also held by Judgb Kinne
that the city is liable for damages if
its action deprives neighboring lands
of water and he assessed damages of
$100 against the city in favor of Mr.
Schenk. The case will be carried to
the supreme court.

EXPEC' PROTEST TO BE MADE
Copenhagen, Feb. 14.-The Standard
Oil tank ship Moreen, flying the Ameri-
can flag and bound from New York
to Copenhagen with a cargo of ben-
zine and petroleum, was accosted and
inspected by a German torpedo boat
February 5.
According to a statement by Capt.
Wheeler of the Moreen, his vessel
reached port at dusk and was met by
customs house officers. After their
inspection the crew began unloading,
a part of the cargo of benzine into
fighters; at 10 o'clock while this work
was going on a torpedo boat slipped
up alongside.
"This is an American ship, and we
are i.n neutral waters," protested Cap-
tain Wheeler, to no avail.
"I wish to see youropapers as well
as any wireless messages you received
en route," insisted the German officer.
Captain Wheeler complied with the
demands. The officer inspected them
and departed. A protest against board-
ing the Moreen in neutral waters is
expected to be made through the
American consul-general in this city.

CRISIS T4) (ET PRO-GERMAN
PREMIER
BULGARIA SWERVES TO ALLIES?
No Conlir'imaton of Report That Bul'
gari is Seeking Separate Peace
With Entente Powers
Rome, Feb. 14.-According to con-
fidential information available here,
Germany, previous to leaving Saloniki
and resuming the offensive on the
western and eastern fronts, decided to
try to compel Roumania to remain
neutral throughout the war.
Bulgarian troops are being secretly
concentrated on the Roumanian fron-
tier along the Danube, where Austrian
amid German soldiers are also being
concentrated. When this concentra-
tion is concl'uded Germany is expected
to demand formal assurances of Ron-
mania's neutrality, besides insisting
upon the demobilization of the Rou-
manian army. She will probably re-
sort to the occupation of the Ron-
manian frontiers, at the same time
promising to restore them after the
war.
Meanwhile, Germany is striving to
provoke a cabinet crisis in Roumania,
with the object of having a pro-Ger-
man premier replace the present gov-
ernment, which is suspected of being
favorable to the Allies.
Germans Try to Cow 11oumanians
London, Feb. 14.-There appeared
today no confirmation of yesterday's
unornial report from Athens that Bul-
gari is seeking separate peace with
the Allies.
The actual military situation in the
Balkan theatres of war, Macedonia and
Albania remains stationary, while "be-
hind the screen" preparations for a
sudden military stroke are very
marked.
All eyes are again turned eagerly
toward Roumania where the Kaiser's
special emissary has planned a rigor-
ous campaign, the substance of which
may be summed up in the threat,-"If
Roumania does not join the central
powers shortly she will suffer for it.
The Tpeutonic empires know how to
strike hard at the earliest moment."
Thus far, however, the Teutonic pro-
pagant(ia has failed to make any verl
great impression on Roumania. Mean-
while the Austrian and Bulgarian in-
vading armies are in Albania, the for-
mer threatening Durazzo and the lat-
ter Ablona. They have made no sub-
stantial headway toward actual at-
tack on the Adria-tic seaboard.
Bulgaria Mmay Swerve in Allegiance
London, Feb. 14.-The Evening Stan-
dard learned from its Athens corres
pondent today that definite negotia
tions hae been opened for a changE
of policy on the part of Bulgaria wbiel
will incline her to the side of the
Allies.
