EXPOSES BOLSHEVISM Washington, Jan. 23. - Testifying before the senate committee investi- gating German propaganda Archibald Stevenson, of the military intelligence committee,' said that representaties of the Russian bolsheviki have al- ready organized soviets in this coun- try and that their plans contemplate eventual seizure in this country. ]luns Start Propaganda 3 Mr. Stevenson also said evidence exists that Germans in the United States have begun a post-war propa- ganda with a few of them exerting an Influence which would make the peace; terms imposed on Germany appear to be less onerous. He called the con- mittee's attention to a recent editorial in a German paper published in. New York which he said endeavored to 'convey the idea that American sold-'1 lers overseas had been regarding the Germans in a light other than that of enemies.I Russian Reds Furnish Money Leaders of the bolshevik movement in this county, Mr. Stevenson testi- fied, included John Reed, who he said was the counsel general at New York of the Russian soviet government, and! Albert Rhys Williams, of New York. Schools for the teaching of the bol- shevik doctrines to civilians has been established by the local organizations, the witness said, and lectures have been sent out. He told the commit- tee that Hapgood, of New York, was one of the lecturers, and that Leon- ard D. Abbott, of New York, was head of the school for the teaching of rad-! icalism. Money for the bolshevik propagan- da work, Mr. Stevenson asserted, was sent from Russia. Urges Allen Deportations, "The element that is furthering radi'calism here is the same element that is fighting American soldiers in Russia," said the witness. Asked by Senator Overman for a remedy for bolshevism Mr. Stevenson said he would recommend deportation of alien agitators. ENVOY OFFERS SOLUTION New York, Jan. 23. - The world's most effective weapon against bolshe- vism is prompt and definite action guaranteeing to labor a standard day, a living wage, protection against un- employment, and sane regulation of child employment, is the opinion of G. S. Beeby, minister of labor and in- dustry for New South Wales. This was made public tonight. His conclu- sons are based upon an extended sur- vey of the industrial conditions in the United States and Australia. U. S, Still Discusses 8-Hour Day Mr. Beeby said he was impressed by the absence of a cohesive policy on the part of labor in the United States, which he attributed in a de- gree to the country's periodic indus- trial unrest. America, he said, is still discussing the eight-hour and lidndred problems, long since gener- ally recognized in England and her more important colony. He said he believed that a centralized system of industrial control and adjustment of disputs would entail government rec. ognition of trade unions and collec, tive bargaining, and woud put Amer J-HOP WORK BEGUN; TO BE FORMAL BALL The J-Hop will be formal, according to the definite decision of the junior lits made at a meetings of their class held yesterday afternoon in University hall. T'ohe op comittee announced thn, conracts are being sought and Ihat work on the hop has begun in earnc'3. Nothing definite has been de- cided about fraternity house }parties. It was announced that all dues must be paid within a short time. A place of collection for payments of dues will be announced later. The meeting had a small attendance and the social committee will offer an entertainment at the next meet- ing which will be held after the second semester commences. FROS'HREMAIN ELIGI6BLE FOR CAMPUS ACTIVITIES (j)Mr'igEE CO1NCLI)ES YEAR M'EN IIAY ACT VIRST The committee on eligibility has made known that for the remainder of the year freshmen may continue to take part in campus activities. Last fall the rule prohibiting fresh- men and other first year students from taking part in public activities was suspended, under certain condi- tions, but in order that the activities concerned may not new be disorgan- ized that suspension of the rule is contin ned for the -second semester. One of the conditions announced was that the need for freshmen help must in each case be made clear. With the relief afforded upper class- men by the passing of the S.A.T.C. and with the expected return of many upper classmen from military and naval service, it is likely that this condition will restrict freshmen par- ticipation more than it has during the present semester. "In administering the eligibility rules," said Prof. W. I. Humphreys, chairman. of the committee, "the com- mittee will keep in mind the desire, ,haied equally by faculty and stu- dents, that freshmen be. not unduly rushed into campus affairs." Professor Humphreys explained that for this year at least the only check on freshmen activities will be the appearance of more able men in the field. , MATERIAL FOR 1919 OPERA NOW IN HANDS OF PRODUCERS All three acts of the 1919 Opera are now in the hands of the produc- ers.

STATE COMITE Committees to Consult with Faculty to Make Plans to Improve University THEE CONFERENCES FOLLOW- ED) IN PAST BY GOOD RESULTS State legislature committees from both the house and the senate arrived in Ann Arbor last evening to make their regular bi-yearly inspection of the University, and to receive recom- mendations for improvements and changes from the University author- ities. To Go on Tour of Inspection The committees will be shown around the buildings this morning and will then hold a consultation with faculty members to decide ways of bettering the University. No infor- mation could be gained yesterday as to what ideas for improvement will be put forward at this time. Any plans accepted by the commit- tees will be brought up before the state legislature for passage. In for- mer years good results have resulted from these consultations between rep- resentatives of the University and committees of the legislature. Used to Make Gay Time of It Up to a few years ago the whole state legislature used to come to Ann Arbor by special train and hold a ses.- sion in University hall. The Glee club would entertain the members of the legislature, and the latter often join- en in the 'songs. This custom had to be abandoned when the legislature grew too large. The committee will lunch at the new Union building with President larry B. Hutchins and later in the afternoon will return to Lansing.

SLIM CHANCE FoR POLISH BOLSHEISM Prof. F. W. Pawlowski Believes Poland Offers Little Encouragement for Movement PEOPLE NATURALLY PEACEFUL BUT LOOK TO ALLIES FOR AID "There is not much chance of so- called bolshevism in Polaid," was the statement of Prof. Felix W. Paw- lowski yesterday afternoon while dis- cussing the necessity of sending Al- lied envoys to Poland for the sake of suppressing the threatened Bolshevik movement. Poland, fearing the results of bol- shevik; propagandists, appealed to the nations who are represented at the peace conference for immediate assistance. The supreme council of the.peace conference decided to send a commission, comprised of eight del- egates, to Poland at once. This is the statement made by Pro- fessor Pawlowski when interviewed regarding the Polish situation: No Cause for Reaction "If we consider the bolshevist movement as a form of reaction evok- ed by unbearable oppression or ex- ploitation of one class by another, or as a result of extreme social con- trast in' the country, that is, extreme poverty and excessive concentration of the wealth of different classes, then Poland offers much less ground for such a movement than any other Eu- ropean country. "The present Polish government, at the head of which are the most liberal and progressive-midne men, is plan- ning wide reforms which no doubt -will make Poland, as it was during its past history, one of the most pro (Continued on Page Six) DIRECTORY MAKES DEBUT THURSDAY The 1919 Student Directory will go on sale next Thursday, Jan. 30.

YOUNG POLISH STAR TO AID IN CONCERT Miss Anna Kowalska, rising young soprano, of Detroit, member of the Ganapol School of Musical Art, will appear in the Polish concert to be giv- en tomorrow night in the High School auditorium. Miss Kowalska made her debut in grand opera last season, singing the leading role of Halka in the opera "Halka," by the most conspicuous of Polish composers, Moniuszko.

Szul- czewski, pianist. All of the Polish artists are rendering their services gratuitiously. OCHES TO DECIDE ON NEW PROVISIONAL GSOVERNMENT Parley eign NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTION AT ON FEB. 6 (By Associated Press) Berlin, Jan. 22 (delayed).-The Ger- man national assembly, which will convene at Weimar, Feb. 6, is expected to be in session about three months. The first business before the assem- bly will be the selection of a provi- sional government because the pres- ent government considers its exist- ence at an end with the convening of a constituent assembly. The assembly will then take up the adoption of a constitution. The pres- ent government, as set, will not pre- sent any proposal to the draft as drawn up by the minstry, but will merely submit it as a preliminary bas- is for discussions. Peace Question to Be Omitted The obligatory task of the constit- uent assembly will be finished with the adoption of a constitution, but it has the right to make of itself a consti- tuted, instead of a constituting body, and this probably will be done. In that case the assembly will be oblig- ed to regulate tasks and financial mat- ters by legislation. The peace ques- tion probably will not be considered as it is not expected that the Ger- mans will be admitted to the peace conference before the adjournment of the assembly. Lodging Facilities Inadeqaute The matters of lodging 3,000 per- sons, who are expected to attend the convention, is a serious one because Weimar is a small city with limited accommodations. The municipal au- thorities there are considering the question of billeting the delegates and journalists with private families, if necessary, and in adjacent cities. Tele- graph, telephone and postal commu- nication will be enlarged and train service will be increased. Great prog- ress has already been made in this line. The constituent assemblies of the various German states probably will not convene until after the national assembly has completed its work. WILL NOW BE HARD FOR COAL AND LUMBER PRICES TO SINK During the war real estate and lumber prices started rising, and it seems that they acquired such a mo- nientum that now they cannot stop,- or even slow down. For the present market still holds to war prices, de- spite the fact that the war ended two months ago. Lumber dealers and own- ers of real estate say that spring prices show no decline, and in some cases they are increasing. LIT STUDENTS, NOTICE! Election blanks for the second semester in the literary college must be filled out by all stu- dents and handed in to the Registrar's office today. The committee on elections will hold consultation from 3 to 5 o'clock in University hall, and the class- ification committee will meet at 5 o'clock in room 104, University hall. TO ADOPT WEIMAR -CONSIDER 4 HUGE WORLD PR OBLEMS. BOLESHEVIKI WIN BIG VICTORY IN PARIS ASSERTS PRINCE LYOFF BRITISH SUPPORT WAR COUNCIL'S DECISION (By Associated Press) Paris, Jan. 23. - The ' supreme council of the peace. congress today considered international legislation on labor, responsibilities and punish- ments in connection with the war, reparation for war damage, and the international control of ports, water- ways, and railways. The council then took up consideration of the proce- dure to be adopted regarding the ter- ritorial question. The text of the official announce- ment reads: "The President of the United States, prime minsters and foreign ministers of the Allied and associat- ed powers, and the Japanese repre- sentatives met this morning at the Quai d'Orsay. The meeting proceed- ed with the examination of the agen- da for the plenary meeting of the conferenc on Saturday. The follow- ing questions were considered for this purpose: "First, international legislation on labor. ''Second, responsibility and punish- ments in connection with the war "Third, reparation for war dam- age. "Fourth, international regime of ports, waterways and railways. "In addition the meeting began con- sidIerations hof he procedure to be 'adoptedwith regard to territorial questions. "The supreme war council will meet tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. Marshal Foch, Field Marshal Haig, and General Diaz will be present, as well as the military representatives, at Versailles, of the Allied and asso- ciated powers." BOLSHEVIKI WIN VICTORY Paris, Jan. 23.-Prince Lvoff, for- mer Russian premier, in a statement here strongly depreciated the decision of the supreme council regarding Russia. "We never thought," said he,-"that the conference would commence its peace work by renewing relations with tyrants. "The Bolsheviki have won their greatest victory in Paris. "The decision of the council not only is of danger to us but to the whole world. It gits new impulse to anarchy. BRITISH FAVORS DECISIONS (By British Wireless Service) London, Jan. 23.-There is no rea- son to suppose that this "wise and high minded offer will be rejecte'd by any Russian government," says the. Daily News in commenting on the ac- tion of the supreme inter-Allied war council in asking representatives of all Russian governments to meet del- egates of the Allies and ,associated powers in Princes Islands for dis- cussion of the Russian question. Islands Near Constantinople (The Princes Islands are a cluster of nine islands in the Sea of Mar- mora, from 10 to 15 miles southeast of Constantinople, and near the coast of Asia Minor. The one nearest to the Bosphorus is Prot, which is about a mile in length; the next is Antigone, of about the same size; then comes Halki, nearly twice as large, and Prinkipo, the largest of all, lies still farther to the east.) Counil'Offers Real Solution "It affords them all a chance of es- cape from a future full of menace," the paper adds. "It relieves them from threats of foreign interference which would have made fiercer class antag- onisms and accentuated their material miseries that have so long tormented the hapless Russian people. But it is not only Russia that President Wilson has probably saved by this resolution: It is the hope of the lea- gue of nations." Offer Relieves Threats of For. Interference Claims Londlon Daily News WINE, WOMEN, SMOKES, AND PIE THEY ALL RHYME TO GARGOYLE'S EYE 'Th time has come, The Daily said, To write of many things, Of tales and skits and would-be jokes, Of which the Gargoyle sings. But often in a minor key,. For many jokes are sad, And some are short and some are long But all of them are bad. Really, they aren't all bad. But the Gargoyle itself knows from exper- ience that lies are often necessary to make rhyme. It's what you call path- etic fallacy-no, not that-poetic lic- ense. The cover is among the ones that arn.'tsoh ad. The vlIw and blue color scheme shows a healthy amount of Michigan spirit, and no one can deny that talent was exhibited in the drawing. The only trouble is that the idea has already been used at least once by every other known magazine. Of course it's a great pity, but there's nothing wrong at all with the parodies, except the metre. That is only a side issue and quite unessent- ial in really good verse like this. The Gargoyle seems to favor that old saying, "Brevity is the soul of wit." We do, too. All the short jokes are good, the shorter the better. So, fol- lowing our own adfice this will stop, too.
