Washington, Feb. 18.Opposition in
the senate to the league of nationsI
began today.j
Senator Borah of Idaho, a republi-
can member of the foreign relationsj
committee, formally declined to ac-
cept Wilson's invitation to the White
House dinner Feb. 26. Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington announced that
he would speak tomorrow in criti-
cism of the plan. General debates
may follow the address.
"League Unconstitutional"
Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi,
Domocrat, declared the league was
unconstitutional, and criticised Pres-
ident Wilson for asking congress to
remain silent on the subject until he
returned to Washington.
Several Republican members of the
senate committee stated privately to-
day that they would not regard them-
selves bound by confidences and that
they would accept the President's in-
vitation with reluctance.
Senator Borah is one of a group of
senators, which includes some Dem-
ocrats as well as Republicans, who
oppose any sort of internationalization
and whose opposition to the league as
proposed has been regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
Debate in the senate, which has
been exptted to break out at any
moment in spite of the President's re-
quest that it be withheld until after
his meeting with the committeemen,
probably will begin tomorrow.

PROFESSOR, RISKS
LIFE IN RESEARCH
Capt. Paul H. DeKruif, who has
been overseas with the medical corps,
has returned to the University, where
he will resume his activities as as-
sistant professor of bacteriology.
Although Captain De Kruif is si-
lent as to his work in France, fellow
officers have asserted that on several
occasions he was nearly killed while
experimenting in shell craters in No
Man's Land to reduce the loss of life
caused by gas gangrene. Along this
line he is said to have made valuable
discoveries.
Captain De Kruif intends to con-
tinue his research work in the Uni-
versity. In New York, where he em-
barked,.he stated that he was bringing
with him trillions of microbes-a fact
which the custom officials were will-
ing to believe without searching the
knapsacks containing the germs.

Caruso to Make'
Debut Jarch
Vividly colored posters announcing
the spotlight vaudeville, to be given
Friday, Feb. 8, in Hill auditorium,
for the benet of the American Univer-
sity union in Paris, have appeared in
the windows of the campus shops. The
placards were designed by Margaret
Jewell, '20, who has also hand-paint-
ed a number of them with water-col-
ors.
Unusual Poster
The poster represents a romatic-
visaged youth singing to the tune of
and playing. a stringed instrument the
like of which cannot be found even in
Stearns collection. It is said to be re-
lated ot the banjuke, violin, mandolin,
and guitar. The exact identity of the
instrument in question, however, is
not a matter of importance on the art-
ist is allowed a certain amount of po-
etio license.
The poster is attractive regardless
of liberties taken by the artist, and it
is xexpected to be quite an effective
means of creating a demand for tick-
ets when they are put on sale.
Ten Acts Scheduled
The poster promises "ten big acts,"
and present indications point to the
promise being kept. Music, magic,
dancing, and specialties will be in-
cluded on the varied program which
will be offered at the vaudeville.
The program itself, together with
the fact that the show is to be pro-
duced for the benefit of the American
University union, is expected to bring
a capacity audience to Hill auditor-
ium.
Economics Essay
Contest Opens
With the view of compiling the ad-
ventures as well as the historical in-
formation of the American fliers
overseas, the director of milita''y
aeronautics of the war department, in
a letter to President Harry B. Hutch-
ins, asks the co-operation of the Uni-
versity in assembling personal stor-
ies of the aviators who have come
from this University.
Information Valuable
"The information thus assembled,"
says the letter, "is important to the
air service of the country and may
be of yet more intimate concern to
the locality and to the instittuion with
which you are associated. It seems not
unlikely that the better part of each
story is contained in letters to friends
and relatives.
"Such informal records may supply
information of historical value to be
had from no other source, information
which should find a place in the writ-
ten history of the country."

Enried Caruso, the distinguished
Italian tenor of the Metropolitan
Opera company, will make his Ann
Arbor debut Monday evening, March
3, when he will be heard in a miscel-
laneous program of arias and pa-
triotic songs.
During the many years that Mr.
Caruso has been the leading star of
the Metropolitan Opera company, he
has seldom appeared in concert. In
fact, during the last 10 years he has
been heard in concert in the West and
Middle West not more than eight or
10 times.
Postponed Concert
Last fall when arrangements were
perfected for a brief tour, Ann Arbor
was fortunate in being able to secure
one of his four appearances. Owing
to the state-wide ban on public gath-
erings because of the influenza epi-
demic, it was necessary to ve up the
concert at that time.
The significance of his coming here
will be appreciated when it is real-
ized that it is the first time in the
history of his long career that he has
left New York during the opera sea-
f son.
Same Program
He will give the same program as
announced last fall and will be as-
sisted by the same artists: Nina Mor-
gana, the remarkable soprano; Elias
Breeskin, the young Russian violin-
ist, will also be heard in the same
program, while piano accompaniments
will be played by Salvatore Fuccito
and Isaac VanGrove. r

21 NURSES BENEFIT
BY SCHOLARSHIPS
Of the 23 nurses who have enroll-
ed in the public health nursing course
to be given this semester in the Uni-
versity, all but two were sent on
scholarships given by hospitals, or-
ganizations, individuals, and Red
Cross chapters in the state.
One of the nurses, Miss Edna Shane
of Jackson, has recently returned
from overseas where she was en-
gaed in public health work among the
civilian poulation. Another of the
nurses has just been released from
duty in a general military hospital in
New York.
More nurses are expected to enroll
at the registrar's office in the near
future.
The course is being given under the
direction of Prof. Dora M. Barnes.
The first phase of the work, an emer-
gency course, will extend over a pe-
riod of four months and will be di-
vided between theoretical problems
and field work in neighboring cities
and towns. The field work will in-
clude the work of a general visiting
nurse and also specialized forms of
public health nursing.-
Those eligible for the course are
graduate registered nurses and senior
pupil nurses of approved schools. The
course is offered to fill the demand
for specially trained public health
nurses and, judging from the present
enrollment, it will be a permanent
one in the University.

A prize of $1,000 is offered by the
National Industrial Conference board
for the best essay dealing with in-
dustrial economics, the subjects to be
from a list of eight formulated by the
board. '
While all these assigned subjects
deal with labor and industry, they
cover a wide range of important
questions. They include: what means)
are there-for securing; adequate rep-
resentation of workers in the deter-
mining of laboring conditions and
settlement of disputes; causes and
remedies for unemployment; high
wages and the means of securing ef-
ficient workers for this highly paid
employment; wages related to govern-
ment interference, to cost of living
to efficiency and contentment of la-
bor; open versus closed shop, and re-
sponsibility of trade unions and em-
p!oyers' associations.
Manuscripts will be received by the
National Industrial Conference board,
15 Beacon Street, Boston, on or be-
fore July 1, 1919.

Oratory Helps End
War--Sh a rfman
"Oratory has been an important
factor in bringing the great world
war to a close," declared Prof. I.
Leo Sharfman of the economics de-
partment in his address, "Temper-
ance," at the annual banquet of the
Adelphi House of Representatives held
last night at the Allenel hotel. "The
success of the many Liberty Loan and
War Savings Stamp campaigns and
those stimulating recruiting has been
due largely to the eloquence of the
men picked for their marked ora-
torical ability, who have conducted
them."
Mr. Ray K. Immel of the oratorical
department spoke on the future of de-
bating at Michigan. The past year
has been marked by its lack of de-
bates and Mr. Immel assured the
Adelphi that with the new semester
oratory would be restored to its pre-
war basis.
