This resolution came as the culmin-

OBJECTS TO HOLY
WIEEK FESTIVITIES~
Fr. Burke, of St. Thomas' Church, De-
nounces] Fresh and Other
Dances
TERSM AFFAIRS INSULTING
At a mass meeting on Sunday eve-
ning before 200 Catholic students of
the university, Rev. Fr. Thomas Burke,
of St. Thomas' Catholic church, de-
nounced in strong terms the freshman
and society dances held during Holy
Week and on Good Friday.
"These dances are an insult to the
Christian men and women students on
the University of Michigan campus,"
said Father Burke.
According to rumors which were
prevalent on the campus today, com-
mittees had been appointed at this
meeting to act in co-operation with
Bishop Kelly and Father Burke to
present a resolution to President Har-
ry B. Hutchins, requesting that he for-
bid any social events during Holy
Week, and also to make an appeal to
the board of regents to dismiss all
classes on Good Friday in future years.
Leo Covey, '17L, president of the
Catholic club, when seen late yester-
day said that all these rumors were
absolutely without foundation, as
nothing had been done up to the pres-
ent time in acting on the matter.
Several students who spoke at the
mass meeting Sunday evening criti-
cized severely the practice of profes-
sors in attacking articles of the Roman
Catholic church in their classes.

Mexicans on Border Think Americ
Forces Have Completed Their
MIission in Mexico
Washington, April 24.--Gene
Avaro Obregon, minister of war
the defacto government of Mexico,
on his way to the American border
confer with Major General Hugh
Scott, chief of staff of the Americ
army regarding the military situ
tion in Mexico.
Information to this effect was co
veyed this afternoon by Eleseo A
redondo, the Mexican ambassad
designate, to Secretary Lansing in
personal interview at the state d
partment. The visit of the Mexic
ambassador followed one made by hi
earlier in the day, when, on behalf
his government, he inquired as
vhen a'replyrmight be expected
Carranza's formal note 'suggestiu
that the two governments treat<
the subject of withdrawal of tI
American expedition.
Immediately-upon being informed
Carranza's agreement to the confe
ence, Secretary Lansing advised Se
retary of War Baker to send a tel
gram to General Scott at San A
tonio telling him to proceed at on
to El Paso. Secretary Lansing i
formed Mr. Arredondo of the effor
being made by Special Agent Jam
Lynn Rodgers at .Mexico City

When he returned to the state d

TINKER RESIGNS FROM.
UNIVERSITY Y, M, c,
Failure of Board to Allow Increase
Budget for His Work Cause
of Leaving
Wellington H. Tinker, for the pa
seven years religious work direct
of the Y. M. C. A., has presented b
resignation to the board of truste
of the institution to take effect Se
tember 1 of this year. No success
has as yet been appointed.
Mr. Tinker's resignation is occasio
ed by the fact that he planned a wo
for the association for next ye
which necessitated a greatly i
creased budget, which the board fe
in view of the fact that the associati
is now erecting a new building,
would be unable to undertake.
During the past several months, m
Tinker has received several offers
take up a larger work in the nation
organization of the Young Men's Chri
tian Association, and while up to ti
present time he has accepted none
these offers, it is likely that he w
become associated with that body up<
his departure from this city in Se
tenmber.
While he has had charge of the r
ligious activities of the associatiq
during the entire time of his incun
bency, during the past year he has al
assumed the duties of financial se
retary, taking up the position left Op~
by Carl Smith, who a year ago le
association work to go into busine
in Detroit.
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin had
changed the situation. Secretary Lans-
ing considers the situation unchanged.
The submarine crisis awaits Germany's
reply to President Wilson's last note
demanding that Germany immediately
declare an abandonment of present
methods of submarine warfare.
There is nothing tangible yet to
show what that reply will be or when
it will be forthcoming.
