HADPANE POSTERS ADVERTISE VAUDEVILLE MARGARET JEWELL, '20, PAINTS PLACARDS NOW IN WINDOWS 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.

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.

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." All Letters Desired{ 31 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 Three Lits Asked to Withdraw Three students will be asked to withdraw from the College of Litera- ture, Sciehtce, and the Arts by action of the committee on delinquences last night. .I story, a new plot, with excellent music and catchy lyrics." 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. ca,..,t, p a.ll5fg the pruie Jurs, UUL- How the bird who sports seven pins, gets away with it, and how the female of the species grabs 14, is also reveal- ed.

Mulheron, '06, sailed Feb. 15 for France on the steamship La France, where she will be engaged in library work.

President Hutchins desires that all letters, or copies of such, be either brought or sent to his office, where they will be filed and later forwarded to the director3of military aeronau- tics. U. S. SEEKS AIDES FOR MEDICAL WORK 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. R. C.
