SAYS LENROOT
CONGRESS HAS POWER

America Has Accomplished Her Pur-

many Is Unnecessary
(By Associated Press)
Paris, March 18. - An important
conference between President Wilson,
Premier Lloyd George, Premier Cie-
menceau, and Premier Orlando began
at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Lord
Robert Oeci, the British authority on
the League of Nations, was to dine
with the President at the Paris White
House tonight.
Washington, March 18. - If Presi-
dent Wilson does not negotiate a peace
treaty satisfactory to the senate, Sen-
ator Lenroot, of Wisconsin; republi-
can, said in an address on the League
of Nations before the Washington
Commercial club here tonight, con-
gress may pass a joint resolution sum-
martly ending the war with Germany
without a treaty, leaving American
participation, in the League of Na-
tions to future determination.
Lenroot Favors General Plan
Senator Lenroot declared he favored
the general plan of the league as pro-
posed but would not be coerced into
voting for the constitution as now
drawn without amendment.
"Ideals Endangered"
Asserting that the United States
today is in a most critical situation,
with American principles and ideals
endangered by the plans for the
league, Senator Lenroot continued,
"We are told that the President will
not permit peace with Germany unless
there is made as part of the peace
treaty the constitution of the league
as drawn in large part by.Great Brit-
ain. We are told that this will be
done to force the senate to accept
without amendment the British con-
stitution, revolutionizing our govevn-
ment and its foreign and domestc
policies. In other words the senate
is to be coerced to do something
which it otherwise would not do, and
public opinion in America is thus to be
coerced into demanding ratificaton.

'PROFESSORS NOT NEW,
SAYS WHITNEY
Prof. Allen S. Whitney, of the Edu-
cational department and chairman of
the Appointment committee, was in
Lansing last week when there was
considerable discussion on the pro-
posed bill which provides that a com-
mittee of University of Michigan fac-
ulty men shall prepare all text books
for grammar and primary schools in
the state.
"This is not the first time that such
a bill has been suggested at the leg-
islature," -said Professor Whitney,
"and it is a question as to whether
its reception will be better weir
corned."
In the event of the passage of the
bill the president of the University
will appoint the committee to see to
the selection of texts and another
committee will be named annually to
revise the stereotyped plates. Those
engaged in this work will be reim-
bursed by the state for their time.
'I do not believe," said Professor
Whitney, "that university faculty men
are the ones to determine the courses
in grammar schools. It would be a
difficult matter for the average col-
lege professor to write a second grade
text book."
Y psilanti Normal
Chorus Coming
Ypsilanti's Normal choir gowned in
medieval costumes will come to Ann
Arbor to sing a program of French,
Italian, and Russian songs,. and a
number of little masterpieces of ec-
clesiastical music at 8 o'clock Wed-
nesday evening in Ann Arbor high
school.
DAYLIGHT SAVING
PUTS TIME AHEAD
Students who have been finding the
o'clock class an almost impossible
feat are doomed to even greater trou-
ble. The Daylight Saving Bill will
again go into effect April 1 and the
much hated 8 o'clock will become still
nearer the cold gray dawn. The cam-
pus clock will be turned ahead one
hour.
One consolation alone remains, no
longer will it take two hours to reach
Detroit as the time basis will become
the same over the entire state. This
is accounted for by the fact that when
the clocks were moved back last fall
Detroit, Port Huron, Alpena and a few
other places in Michigan adopted
eastern time, which is one hour ahead
of central. It is now their plan'
to retain their present standard,
whichwill automatically equalize time
throughout the state.

WAR TAX TO BE PLCED
ON ALL 1-KOP- TICKETS
PROF. AIGLER DECIDES THAT
UNIVERSITY AFFAIR IS NOT
EXEMPTED
Payment of war tax is required on
all J-Hop tickets.I
After thorough investigation of the
matter, Prof. R. W. Aigler of the law
department has judged it necessary for
the Hop committee to collect a tax. He
has just returned from Washington,
where he investigated the question
of a tax on the opera, and at the
same time he secured information
which has helped him in this deci-
sion.
RED CROSS BONUS
HELP ROOM BUSY
More than 300 have applied at the
Red Cross Home Service rooms in
Nickels Arcade for blanks and assist-
ance in making them out for the $60
bonus due to discharged and released
service men.
During the last few days the local
office has been working to capacity
but -the ladies are anxious that every
man whom they can help come to the
office. Every one is welcome and
no charges are made.
A notary public is in the office ,at
all times to - make out duplicate
blanks which are to be kept as a proof
of service should the original be lost
in the mail.
Several men holding two discharges
have inquired at the rooms as to
whether they are entitled to two
amounts. This is not the case as the
first discharges were out of reserve
corps which were not in active serv-
ice.
There has also been some misun-
derstanding as to the dates of serv-
ice of the men entitled to the money.
Only men who have been discharged
since April 6, 1917, and those who had
enlisted before Nov. 11, 1919, are en-
titled to the gratuity.

At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce
held yesterday a committee was ap-

Bonisteel.
"This question, at the present time,
is one of the biggest prblems that
has yet been taken up by the new
Chamber of Commerce. The situation
has been studied thoroughly, and we
are heartily in favor of seeing a bill
passed in the state senate granting
this added appropriation to the pres-
ent allotment made to the: Univer-
sity."
Secretary Shirley Smith is going to
Lansing this morning in the int!rest
of this proposed appropriation from
