LOR CHARNWOOD TALKS 'BOUT IRISH QUESTION REGULAR FEES TO COME BACK SECOND SEMESTER Time for Paying Fees May tended Where Immediate ment is Impossible Be Ex- Pay- Students honorably discharged from the S. A. T. C., naval unit, or other branches of the military or naval service who decide to remain in school for the rest of the semester, will not be required to pay full tui- tion. This is a concession on the part of the Regents, because heretofore all students entering late have had to pay the full amount. Charge to Be Made By Wkeeks ,According to the decision of the executive and finance committee of the Regents. "The annual fee in each of the sev- eral school and colleges will be pro- rated on the weekly basis, 36 weeks to the year. The registering students will be charged for the remaining weeks of the University year, count- ing from the beginning of the week of registration plus the proper matricu- lation fee in the case of students who have not previously paid same," That is, the regular fee will be di- vided by six and this amount will be vided by six and this amount will be charged for each week of the remain- ipg time. "Registrations are not to be accept- d during the last two weeks of the first semester except for the second semester. "No laboratory fees will be charg- ed such students for the remaining weeks of the first semester. Regular Fees Next Semester "Beginning with the second semes- ter regular fees, including laboratory fees, are to be charged all students as provided in the catalogue. Charges herein provided are to apply only to students now in service; for all oth- er students, registration fees will, at all times during the year, be on the regular basis as provided in the cata- logue. "All refunds during the remainder of this year to these students will be in accordance with the spirit of the above regulations. Can Extend Time to Pay Fees In the case of S. A. T. C.tstudents or naval unit students of this Uni- versity who continue their studies -without break and who satisfy the University treasurer that they are not financially able to pay the required fees at once, an extension of time may be arranged in individual cases, post- poning payment of fees until - the opening of the University exercises after the holiday vacation, Jan. 7." + This ruling also affects "all meP or women in Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., K. of C., Red Cross or other organ- ized service, with status comparable to that of enlisted men.", REORGANIZATION OF VARSITY BAND SURE Michigan's Varsity band will be re- organized immediately after the de- mobilization of the S. A. T. C., accord- ing to Prof. John R. Brumm, faculty manager of the band. Many of the members of the S A. T. C. and the naval unit bands, which are to be dis- banded, will make up the Varsity. Mr. Wilfred Wilson, former director of the University band and at pres- ent in charge of the military bands, will again take the directorship. It is expected that the band will be com- posed of about 60 men. "There is no reason why the Varsity band this year should not be as large as in former years," says Professor Brumm. An entertainment will probably be given sometime during the second semester in order to raise a fund from which to pay those members who remain at the University for the June commencement. This has been the PROBLEM OF HOME IRELAND ARISES WAR OVER RULE WITH IN "The settlement of the Irish ques- tion will depend and be based upon the agreement the people of Ireland make among themselves," said Lord sharnwood in his lecture yesterday on "English Domestic Problems Aris- ing from the War." Lord Charnwood stated that he fav- ored any development of self-govern- ment which would satisfy the Irish people. The unrest is caused mainly by historical actions, influence from without, and the fact that the bulk of the population is dominated by Ro- man Catholicism. "The descendants of the Irish people do not know the Ireland as it exists today," he added. "Irish sentiment of those living out- side the island," said Lord Charn- wood, "has somewhat of a distorted aspect towards England. The advance in prosperity with the aid of English and Irish legislation, has been more rapid than any other country of Eu- rope. Yet it has been dmemonstrated by the experience of Englishmen Scotchmen, and others that they are unable to understand the Irish pro- blem, and neither can the people of Ireland itself solve it. Home Rule Nat Yet Granted "In 1914, England put a mqasure on the statute books for home rule in Ireland, but it has not yet been granted. If it had been given then, a civil war would have resulted on the island. Such a war would have torn England as well as Ireland into dis- union." Lord Charwood said that the actions during the war, of those living in cer- tain sections have resulted in separ- ating England and Ireland farther apart. He believes that the question of self-government for Ireland is an impractical one, for the present at least. England a Socialism Center In discussing the English labor problems, Lord Charnwood stated that England being a great industrial country makes her a center for so- cialism. England has experimented with the problem of minimum wage, and will press it into use more widely now that the war is over. The major- ity of the English people favor the state ownership of the larger indus- tries. England is going to have a great movement in the housing of the working classes, and such advance- ments as the granting of pensions to the soldiers are also to be made. "England is making great strides on the question of education," he said. "Elementary schools are to be given closer attention and the work- ing man is to receive a better chance along the educational lines."k Lord Charnwood closed his talk by stating his view of what we mean by democracy. "The real ideal of government," he said, "is one in which the superiors and the more ed- ucated will give themselves to the service of the people, thought to thought, and heart to heart. The rul- ers must act as to the aspirations of tLe masses, and in the spirit of Chris- tianty." Organizations and classes have been given until the end of this week to get in their Michiganensila copy. An unex- pected delay made this extra time possible. Absolutely noth- ing with be accepted after Sat- urday. MEN MAY DEPART AFTER EAMINATIN Medical Officers to Start Working on Section B Men This Morn- ing 385 NAVAL UNIT MEN PUT N APPLICATIONS FOR RELEASES S. A .T C .men will receive their discharges immediately after being physically examined and will be free to leave town the same day if they wish, according to a statement from military headquarters yesterday. Physical Exams Begin Today Physical examinations of men in section B will begin this morning in rooms on the fourth floor of the Nat- ural Science building. Major Roscoe C. Hubbard, a medical officer detailed here especially for this work will be in charge., He will be aided by two other medical officers. A number of men from headquarters have been de- tailed to handle the clerical part of the work and it is expected bythose in charge that the examining of the men will progress rapidly. Many men of this section will be free to go home tonight. Men in section A who wish to leave college mas make application to their company commanders and will be ex- amined before the other men in the section. The men in section A will receive their discharges within a day or two after having their examina- tions. 385 Apply for Navy Release Three hundred eighty-five men of the naval unit had applied to head- quarters for release from active duty up to 5 o'clock yesterday. These ap- Ilications will be sent to Great Lakes aval training station for approval by Captain Moffet, commandant of the station and 7in harge of this naval district. As fast as the approved applications are returned the naval unit men will be released from active duty and the naval authorities here expect that all the men who wish will be placed on inactive duty before Christmas. Gargoyle Plans Big Circulation Several new policies were adopted at a meeting of the Gargoyle staff, held Tuesday afternoon in the Press building. An effort will be made to enlist the co-operation of the alumni of the University. Personal letters are to be sent to each of the former stu- dents subscribing to the Alumnus, to all who have made donations to the Michigan Union, and to all who have shown an interest in the University in other ways. It is hoped that many subscriptions will be received from them and through the returns secured from the increased circulation, a larger and better Gargoyle will be produced. Another of the new policies inaug- urated was the appointing of a wom- an to the business staff of the publi- cation. Miss Margaret Spaulding, '22, is the second woman to hold a position on the ad. getting side of the University's funny magazine, since that publication has been founded. Miss Marjory Van Zandt, '19, appoint- ed at the beginning of the present year, was the first to receive the hon- or. The lack of men with ability has necessitated this action, and one of the most staunch of publication traditions has, seemingly, been done away with. Other appointments to the business staff made at this time were Sidney Sarason, '22, and Milton Geige, '22. The present staff now consists of Wal- ter Reiss, '21L, business manager; Wiliam Angell, '21, publication mana- ger; William Fortune, '20, assistant circulation manager, Miss Marjory Van Zandt, '21; Miss Margaret Spauld- ing, '22, Sidney Sarason, '22; and Mil- ton Geige, '22. For the first time in the history of the Gargoyle a faculty man is the managing editor of the magazine. Ed- ward Everett of the Rhetoric depart- ment was called upon to take the place of Roy Fricken when he left the Uni- versity just before the first issue was, off the press. AMERICA TO SEND TONS OF EVIDENCE (By Associated Press) dence of the preparedness of the dence ,of the preparedness of the American government to entei into peace negotiations was given tonight in an announcement that an advis- ory commission of 23 experts, who have made a year's study of political and economic conditions in Europe and Asia, will sail with President Wil- son- and his fellow delegates on the George Washington. With them will go several tons of maps and records, together with other documents of evidence in Paris or on the way, ,comprised of a collection of international data, said to be without parallel in history. WILSON LEAYE5 TODAY FOR PEACE CONCLAE PRESIDENT APPOINTS M'AD00'S SUCCESSORATO U. S. TREASURY (By Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 3.- Just before President Wilson left Washington to- night enroute to Europe an announce- ment was made of the appointment of the treasurer to succeed William G. McAdoo. His name will be made public tomorrow in New York. There was no reference to the director-general of railroads, and it is inferred that this official is not yet determined up- on. Crosses Ocean on Hun Liner Washington, Dec. 3.-President Wil- son tonight began his trip to Europe to the peace conference. The Presi- dent left on a special train to New York where he will board the George Washington, on which the voyage across the Atlantic will be made. No announcements were made as to the President's itinerary, but it was understood that the George Washing- ton would steam from New York with her naval convoy, sometime tomor- row. About seven days will be re- quired for the trip, and the ship will dock at a French port, presumably Brest. Wilson to Be Absent 6 Weeks The President does not expect to be abroad for more than six weeks, which would give him just a month on Eu- ropean soil. Before the peace confer- ence meets he will confer with Pre- miers Lloyd George, of Great Britain, Clemanceau, of France, and Orlando, of Italy, and probably with King Al- bert, of Belgium, to discuss the salient points of the peace treaty. While in Europe, Mr. Wilson plans to visit England and Italy, as well as France. He also may go to Brussels. He also is understood to intend to make a prilgrimage to some of the battlefields in France. Great prepar- ations have been made in London, Paris, and Rome, for the President's reception. Joseph P. Tumulty, the President's secretary, accompanied Mr. Wilson to New York, but will not go abroad. He will return to Washington to conduct the business of the White House. Save Your oney ICircus Day Soon Hear ye-Hear ye-all ye who are fond of red lemonade and the tight wire. The Women's league celebrat- ed circus is coming. Posters are all about town with photographs of the world's only nonsensical clowns and of the only colored mule in captiv- ity. The advance agents say that the cir- cus train will arrive at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon and the parade will start promptly at 3 o'clock from Bar- bour gymnasium. They also say that because of the cessation of the war the circus this year will be embellish- ed with brand new side-shows, for- tune tellers imported from the orient and stunts introduced from the Fiji islands, stunts hitherto unimaginable in this hemisphere. The advance agents furthermore have announced another ovation namely, that all who have paid the nominal entrance ad- mission of 10 cents will be given a place in the big procession, and so all are urged to come in fancy at- tire. ,' ;* JEWISH STUDENTS TO HAVE MEETING The Jewish Student Congregation will hold its first service of the year Suxday afternoon in Lane' hall. Dr. Lee M. Franklin, supervising Rabbi of the congregation, will address the Jewish young men and women on a topic of the day. A. J. Gornetzky, '19L, president, and the executive board have arranged, besides this ad- dress a special program in the way of an entertainment similar to that staged three weeks ago. Invitations are being sent to all civilian stu- dents and S. A. T. C. and naval unit men are being reached through their respective heads. SITICI TO RE-REISTE, PRESIDENTANNOUNCES ALL MEN ADVISED TO REMAIN IN COLLEGE TO COMPLETE COURSES "The reconstruction period will be one of the most important in the his- tory of the world. Problems which will call for highly trained men and women will arise and those with a University training will have a tre- mendous advantage," President Harry B. Hutchins declared in addressing the men of section A, of the S. A. T. C., yesterday afternoon in Hill auditor- lUEm. 'I do not guarantee that if you have a university education that you will be preid'ent of the United States; a governor, or manager of one of the large business concerns of the coun- try, but unless you have the educa- tional foundation which is most eas- ly acquired in a university, you will most likely not be among the lead- ers," the president said. Urges Remaining in College He urged the men to remain in col- lege, telling them that things would be made as easy as possible for them to complete their present courses successfully and called to their minds that there would be no more of the duties and compulsory study which they dislike. President Hutchins explained to the men that much of the confusion at the beginning was caused because the University knew that a unit of the S. A. T. C. would be established here only four weeks previous to the open- ing of the present school term and that in the intervening time the Uni- versity officials had to provide quar- ters, make arrangements for a mess hall, revise the curricula, arrange new courses and hire new instruc- tors. He said that, despite the difficulties, increased by the intensive military work which the government properly required that things were so 'right- ing themselves at the end of the first month that he was able to send in a satisfactory report to the govern- ment. To Give Credit for Drill in explaining the new arrangement he said that to give the men a chance to complete their college course with- out taking extra work the faculties of the several colleges had agreed to give four hours University credit for military training to each man who completes six hours of other work with a grade of C. "The first semester will not end until Feb. 7, which is one week longer than the first semes- ter has been in ofrmer years," Presi- dent Hutchins stated. "The time left will be sufficient to allow any man who desires to receive at least 10 hours' credit. "Beware of disgusts, for disgust has ruined many a man," he said in closing. "Put the disagreeable things you have experienced in the last two months, if there have been any, be- hind you and start in anew." Men discharged from the S. A. T. Heir to' To Throne Claims He 14te Air and Sea Raids, and French Deportations WILLING TO RETURN TO WORK AS LABORER IF NATION FORMS DEMOCRACY PRESENT CONFLICT TOO SOON FOR BOCHE AIMS CROWN PRINCE FAILS TOSIGN PAPERS; KAISER'S SON SAYS GERMANYLOST WAR AFTERl VICTORY Of MARNE BY FRENCI (By Associated Press) Oosterland,. Holland Dec. 3. - "I have not renounced anything and I have not signed any document what- ever." Frederick William Hohenzollern who claims the title of crown prince of Germany, thus answered the ques- tion of the Associated Press in the course of a lengthy conversation to- day on the island of Wieyingen, where he is interned. Prince Willing to Return "However," he continued, "should the German government decide te form a republic similar to the United States or France I shall be perfectly content to return to Germany as a simple citizen ready to do anything to assist my country. I should even be happy to work as a laborer in a factory. "At present everything appears to be chaotic in Germany, but I hope things will right themselves." Asked in what in his opinion was the turning point of the war, he said: Huns Lose War at Marne "I was convinced early in October, 1914, that we had lost the war. I con- sidered our position hopeless after the battle of the Marne, which we should not have lost if the troops of our gen- eral staff had not suffered a case of nerves. "I tried to persuade the general staff to seek peace then, even at a great sacrifice, going so far 'as to give up Alsace-Lorraine. But I was told to mind my own business and confine my activities to commanding mny armies. I have proof of this." Speaking of the beginning of the war Frederick William asserted: "Never Desired , War" "Contrary to all statements hither- to made abroad, I never' desired war, and thought the moment quite inop- portune. I was never consulted, and the report about a crown council be- ing held in Berlin to decide about the war, I deny on my oath. "My father, also, I am sure, did not desire war. If Germany had sought the best opportunity for mak- ing war she would have chosen the period either of the Boer war or the Russo-Japanese war." Ludendorf Responsible for Loss Ludendorf and his staff continually underestimated the enemy's forces, he declared, and never believed that America's contribution of soldiers was as great as it actually proved to be. Frederick William declared himself to be an admirer of President Wil- son, whom he felt assured would bring about a peace of justice for the German people and concluded: Germany "Cannot Be Crushed" "Any humiliation of a nation con- taining 70,000,000 would leave a feel- ing of revenge. Such a nation can- not be crushed. "The armistice terms are very se- vere and almost impossible of'execu- tion, as the Entente powers are tak- ing away a large portion of the means of transport." Asked whether Gerjany, if victo- rious, would have imposed even more severe terms, he expressed the belief that such would not have been the case. Prince Opposed Sub Raids When the Brest-Litovsk treaty was mentioned he said its terms were hard because in Russia the Germans were confronted by the Bolshevik. With regard to air raids on forti- fied cities, the fierce submarine war- fare, the bombardment of Paris and the deportation of women from the C. will be obliged to register in the occupied districts to work in University if they wish to remain many, Frederick said that he ha as their registering in the fall will ways entirely disagreed with I not be accepted. policies.
