(By Associated Press)
Paris, March 3.-The council of the
great powers considered today the
military, naval, and aerial terms for
the disarmament of Germany, but did
not reach a conclusion. The main
new point was that enemy airplane
restriction will be rigid.
Paris, March 3.-(Havas Agency.)-
The question ,of the left bank -of the
Rhine will figure in the preliminary
peace treaty according to the Paris
editiol of the London Daily Mail, and
in certain quarters, it adds, there is
serious consideration of the formation
of an independent German republic
on the left bank of the Rhine.
The Allies, it is said, would con-
tinue to hold the present Rhine
bridgeheads until Germany completed
her indemnity payments.
In discussing the indemnity reg-
ulations as fixed by the peace con-
ference committee on reparations the
* newspaper says Germany will have to
pay a certain sum before the end of
1919 and the balance during a period
of from 20 to 30 years.
The Allied powers will decide on
measures to suptply Germany with
raw material and the manner in which
commercial relations will be resumed.
All these questions, the Daily Mail
continues, will be settled at one ses-
sion of the supreme council after the
return of Pre:dcnt Vilson.

quainted with the other members of
his own group.

LATE WIRE NEWS
There were those who had given1
up all hope of attending the J-hop.
There were those who had more
hope, and Smuck was buying, for a
sum payable in advance, clothing for
the next five years.
There were those whose hopes were
very high, and pawn shops were do-
ing a remarkable business in watch-
es, cigarette cases, and fraternity
pins.
Still the J-hop seemed as far off as
ever.
But Uncle Sam has taken a hand.
He has seen to it that every student
will be able to attend the J-hop. He
has said that every man honorably
discharged from the United Statesj
army will be given $60.
And now hope runs high. Even
those who had no intention of going
to the big party are -thinking seri-
ously that perhaps it would not be a
bad idea to look in.
But the army takes its own time
about doing things, and the hop is
only a month away. And that is why
about $60 will buy a perfectly good
mortgage on the future. Uncle Sam's
word is good, and the J-hop only
comes once a year.

CARUSO ARTISTE HONORED
Miss Nina Morgana, assisting
artiste at the Caruso concert,
was initiated into the local
branch of Mu Phi Epsilon, na-
tional honorary iusical soror-
ity, immediately after the con-
cert Monday night. Following
the initiation, Miss Morgana was
one of the guests at a dinner
given by Mr. Caruso at the
Hotel AlleneL
N. Farquhar, literary secretary of the
national council of the Y. M. C. A. for
India and Ceylon.
Authority on India
Since 1891 Dr. Farquhar has been
on the foreign field with the exception
of seven years, during which illness
compelled him to return to his native
country, England. Many of his works
on the oriental religions have been
used even by leaders of various In-
dian groups as more correct, and more
interpretative of their own thoughts
and ideals than native scholars have
been able to produce.
. "The Crown of Hinduism," "A
Primer of Hinduism," and "Religious
Movements in India" have come from
the pen of Dr. Farquhar during the
course of his work. At present he is
engaged in writing a series of books
for the Y. M. C. A. to be used for edu-
cated India.
Honored by Oxford
Dr. Farquhar has received three de-
grees from Oxford university, and up-
on the conclusion of his lecture tour
in the United States and Canada'will
return to the University.

UP.. MA Y PLANS ON STARTING
UP INTERCLASS COMPETITION
During the past year interclass riv-
alrr has not been as keen as in for-
mer years. This is shown by the fact
that during the present season, no
interest was shown in interclass bas-
ketball. The coming freshmen track
meet will fur.m h the only competi-
tion in track.
Dr. May is planning for a successful
interclass baseball schedile, in the
near future. Athletes from the differ-
ent classes must display their inter-
est in this event to make it a success.

THRONGS CROWD AUDITORIUM TO
HEAR NOTED ITALIAN
TENOR
BREESKIN'S VIOLIN WINS
HEARTS OF AUDIENCE
Caruso and Nina Morgana Sing "The
Star Spangled Banner" for
Closing Number
(By Edna Lucking Apel)
Generous encores following every
number interspersed by thunderous
applause distinguished the program
given by Enrico Caruso and assisting
artists: Nina Morgana and Elias
Breeskin, Monday evening before an
audience that filled every available
seat in Hill auditorium.
Principals Capture Audience
Three types of personality radiat-
ed from the platform enrapturing
those in the audience. Caruso was
emotionally dramatic, yet jovial and
democratic; Nina Morgana won all
hearts the moment she appeared by
her sweet, charming, and engaging
maner, unassuming and quiet, gain-
ing confidence and friends immedi-
ately, Elias Breeskin did not display
.any of the eccentricities common to
most virtusoi.
Caruso is the model of the present
generation in the field of singing. He
represents the top notch of the art.
His facial expressions in his operatic
arias showed the concentration of the
man upon his work. He gave of him-
self completely in these numbers.
Breeskin Wins Audience
Elias Breeskin is a serious, litter-
pretative violinist. He playsawithout
affectation, with a clearness and ease
of execution that shows magnificent
technical equipment. It is Impossi-
ble to find a doubtful overtone or har-
monic in his playing. Some of his
legato passages, especially In Sara-
sate's "Gypsy Airs" were so subtly
and beautifully modulated that it was
impossible to detect just when they
ceased. Kreisler is a favorite com-
poser of Breeskin as most of his en-
cores showed.
Nina Morgana Sings "Dinorah"
Nina Morgana has all the virtues
of youth, an abundant supply of emo-
tion and a freshness of spirit that is
entrancing. In the Shadow Dance
from Meyerbeer's "Dinorah" the in-
tricate stacatto passages were sung
with a clean-cut pureness of tone. Her
voice is unusual in that it has so
much body and depth in the lower
tones.
National Air Closing Number
Caruso's powerful voice rather ob-
literated Miss Morganas in the joint
rendering of the "Star SpangledBan-
ner" which closed the program, send-
ing the audience home with a sense
of overwhelming wonder.
A material contribution to the even-
ing's triumph was the masterly, sym-
pathetic, and highly intelligent aceom-
panying of Salvatore Fucito and
Isaac Van Grove.
Leave for New York
For the first time in its history the
1:30 Wolverine made a special stop
at Ann Arbor to take Caruso and his
party to New York, where he will sing
"Le Prophete" and the "Star Span-
gled Banner" at a special reception
for the return of President Wilson
from the Peace Conference in Europe.
Youngest Army Major Returns
Major David W. Shand, known as
the youngest major in the United
States army, has returned to resume
his studies in the University. He serv-
ed for about six months with the
quartermaster's department in France.
Shand enlisted in June, 1917. This
year he is a senior lit and a freshman
law student.

important business meeting at

noon in room 205, Mason hall.

elected at this time.
