Washington, March 11. - William
Jennings Bryan issued the statement
tonight endorsing the League of Na-
tions but suggesting amendments to
the proposed constitution which among
other things would preserve specifi-
cally the Monroe Doctrine, enlarge
the proportionate voting power of the
United States, and make it clear that
each member nation might decide for
itself whether it would support de-
crees of the League's general council.
Less Risks in League
While pointing to imperfections, Mr.
Bryan uirged that they should not be
allowed to lead to rejection of the
plan, declaring that risks to be run in
accepting the League were less than
those involved in rejection and return-
lug "to the old ways of blood and
slaughter." -
Friendly Criticism Needed
Mr. Bryan dictated the statement
from his sick bed at the home of
friends, where he has been confined for
nearly three weeks. He said the

unsuccessful. Theodore Harrison, the
director, was unable to secure enough
first tenors in the tryouts Thursday
night at his studio to fill the vacancies
in the club.

University to have a Glee club, he will
again try at 7:30 o'clock Thursday
night at his studio in the University
School of Music. This is absolutely
the last time that the University stu-
dents will have to back this musical
organiation.
"Every one should turn out, no mat-
ter what chance he thinks he has.
One man made, the club this evening
who had not come out before because
he thought he had no chance. Every
one will be given a fair chance, and
you may make the club despite your
supposed deficiencies," says Mr. Har-
rison.
The Mandolin club tryouts were sue-
cessfal, and the temporary personnel
of the club will be announced as soon

U. S. Fleet Given
Hearty Send Off
(By Associated Press)
London, March 11.- Officers and
men of the grand fleet miss their'com-
rades of ' the American battleship
squadron whicll shared the war virgil
of the British navy. The text just
made public of the messages ex-
changed by the two forces when the
Amercian ships departed Dec. 1,
shows how strong was the friendship
between them.
As the American dreadnaughts
steamed away, the British commander-
in-chief signalled:
"Your comrades of the grand fleet
regret your departure. We trust this
id only temporary, and that the inter-
change of squadrons from the two
great fleets of the Anglo-Saxon race
may be repeated. We wish you good-
bye, good luck, and that you will have
a good time and come back soon."
In reply came the following:
"Your friendly and brotherly signal
of God-speed is deeply appreciated by
the officers and men of your sixth fiat-
tle squadron. We will never forget
the hospitality, which has made us
feel a part of ypur big family, and we
intend to maintain that relation for
all time. We all hope to serve under
your command.".
The use of the word "your" was lost
upon no one in the grand fleet, least
of all Admiral Beatty. Another mess-
age was immediately sent:
"This is indicative of the intimate
brotherly unity and sympathy which
exists on both sides of that greatest
ocean highway, the Atlantic, and, as
it is not joined by land, is kept warm
and alive largely by men of the sea."
To which- the American squadron
made answer:
"The officers and men of the sixth
battleship squadron appreciate more
than can be explained the never-end-
ing hospitality of the officers and
men of the grand fleet.

cisions
LIVE 1P 'TO RULES AND
MAKE IT SUCCESS-VELDE
For the interest of those fraternities
contemplating the holding of house
parties in connection with the J-Hop,
the following rules regarding the 1919
Hop are published:
First, r6le 10 in the petition to the
University senate provides that house
parties shall commence not earlier
than Friday morning and end not later
than Sunday afternoon.
Second, the selection of dhaperons
for house parties is, of course, left in
the hands of the groups concerned,
but the chaperons should be definitely
informed of the wishes of the Univer-
sity in the following matters: there
should be no dancing at the house
after the Hop. After a reasonable
time for refreshments and rest the
party should break up; dances or
other festivities on Saturday night
should end promptly at midnight.
Prof. Louis A. Strauss, chairman of
the committee in charge of student af-
fairs said: "These rules will prob-
ably apply this year. The above rules
will undoubtedly not be changed, but
amendments may be made when the
committee meets to decide upon the
question. Letters will then -be mailed
to all the fraternities informing them
of the decisions of the committees."
Karl Velde, '20, chairman of the
J-Hop committee, said: "I hope that
the fraternities will live up to the
rules and confine themselves to the
limits prescribed by them. The fra-
ternities should attempt to make their
parties a greater success than ever."

THREE TO BE CHOSENt
FOR BANK SCHOLRSHIPS
SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS TO
BE GIVEN PREFERENCE IN
SELECTING
Three recommendations will be
made by the University department
of Economics for scholarships that arer
offered by the National City bank of
New York city for its college training
class for foreign service.p
Preference in rendering theses rec-1
ommendations will be given to mem-
bers of the sophomore and junior
classes, although senior and graduate
students are not excluded.
The men proposed will be interview-
ed by an officer of the National City
bank, either in New York or in some
other convenient place, and if accepta-
ble will be given this opportunity fors
'one year's work in the bank before
being sent for foreign service.
The students accepted by the bank
will apportion their one year's time
as follows:
Sophomores will spend two summer1
vacations at the bank, one between
their sophomore and junior years, and
the other between their junior and se-
nior years. The remainder of their
training course will consist of six
months at the bank, to be completed
before or after graduation at a time
convenient to the bank and to the
student's university, as close to the
date of the student's graduation as
may be possible.
Juniors will spend the summer va-
cation between their Junior and Senior
years at the bank, and will complete
the course by spending nine months
at the bank at a time to be determined
in a similar way as that of the sopho-
mores.
Seniors and graduate students who
are accepted by the bank will be in-
cluded in the existing class of under-
graduates in exactly the same status
as their classmates, except that their
year of study at the bank will be con-
tinuous from the date of their en-
rollment.
All students desiring to apply for
these fellowships will meet Professor
Sharfman at 4 o'clock Thursday after-
non in room 102 of the Economics

MEDICAL RESERVE MEN
OBTAINED
Information received at Major Dur-
kee's office in the Union building from
the quartermasters corps headquar-
ters states that members of the engi-
neer reserve who were not called in-
to active service until Nov. 15 are
eligible to receive the $60 bonus due
to discharged and released service
men.
The local S. A. T. C. office has been
flooded with inquiries as to whether
the University men who were mem-
bers of Engineer Reserve and were
not called into active service until aft-
er the armistice was signed can apply
ofr the bonus.
Though no definite information can
be had relative to the bonus for the
Medical Reserve men who were called
into active service after Nov. 11 into
the Naval unit it is probable that the
act will effect them similarly.
