W. Pawlowski of the aeronautical engi- neering department when asked what he thought of the organization of such a olub here. Professor Pawlowski believes that such an organization consisting of every one in the University interest- ed in aviation and those who have served in the various flying units would be beneficial. ' Of Value to Ex-Airmen Through the club they could keep posted on the current developments in this line, study the latest problems and in this manner make ,it a headquar- terstfor the men who have served in aviation. Professor Pawlowski's ideal club would be open to all interested in aeronautics, students of aviation and service men whether commissioned or not. He would have a club well bal- anced both technically and socially, technically for the students and so- cially for the former flyers. Mould Advertise University Selfridge aviation field will continue to train men for the air service and cross country flights will no doubt be made, a .club in Ann Arbor could en- courage the flyers to stop here, en- tertain them and these men from ev- ery part -of the country would carry the Michigan spirit to their home towns and advertise the University. A similar club was started in 1912 and survived about five years. The members built models and gliders but there were no practical airmen here at the time and a Wright hydro air- plane given the club by a Mr. Alger of Detroit was smashed within a few days after it had been set up. Club Started Soon Anyone interested in the organiza- tion of such a club may call at Pro- fessor Pawlowski's office, 333 Engi- neering building and if enough prove to be interested a meeting will be. called soon. Professor Pawlowski will assist in the launching of the club but wants -it to be a student af- fair and does not wish to assume charge. - Buy Victory Bonds -- .

BROCKDORF-RANTAU TO HEAD GERMAN DELEGATION OF SIX (By Associated Press) Paris, April 21.- The Italian ques- tion reached a culminating phase to- day when President Wilson refrained from attending the meeting of the Council of Four and consulted with the other members of the American dele- gation concerning the advisability of issuing a public statement. The President later joined the coun- cil but it was said he would issue a public statement if the deadlock was prolonged. The council of foreign ministers ap- proved the proposed provision of the treaty intended to forestall any effort the Germans might make to re-estab- lish a military machine by utilizing outside forces. The article prohibits the sending of German military in- structors to foreign countries. Paris, April 21. - The German del- egation at Versailles will comprise six high personages at the heat of which will be Count Von Brockdorf-Rantzau, the foreign minister. Marshal Foch was so informed this evening, says official announcement. The delegates cannot arrive before April 28. - Buy Victory Bonds Sophomores Set Prom For Mlay 2G Mme. Breshkovsky, "little grand- mother of the Russian revolution," who is to speak at Hill auditorium at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening, April 29, is well qualified to deal with questions: concerning Russia, for she has the' true understanding of the Russian sit- uation. She understands the Russian people as only one can who has spent years in Siberian prisons and camps. Mme. Breshkovsky speaks, not as a dispassionate onlooker, but as one who has lived, suffered and fought under an oppressive political regime. The present lecture tour which Mme. Breshkovsky is making in America is not her first. Her first tour was made some 15 years ago. At that time she was recdr nized and greeted as one who had cnsecrated her life to the great cause of Russian freedom. Hardships and privationes have not impaired the splendid intellect of the "little grandmother." Though she is now 75' years old, she is the same vig- orous, active worker as in days long past. - Buy Victory Bonds - 1,000 COPIES OF INLANDER DISTRIBUTED TO FRESHMEN More than 1,000 copies of The In- lander have been distributed among the freshmen of the University during the past two weeks.

YOUNG PRIMA DONNA INTO OPERA IN MONTHS SINGS WAY FIVE Rising from a singer in the movies, in cabaret, in vaudeville, to grand opera in the incredibly short space of' ,five months has been the unique' achievement of-Rosa Ponselle, the 23- year-old prima donna of the Metro-s politan opera house, who sings sev- eral arias in the first concert Wed- nesday evening at the May festival, which takes place May 14 to 17 in Hill auditorium. Willed to Succeed Miss Ponselle is another of those1 geniuses who without wealth, influ-: ence, or educational opportunities hasI nevertheless attained a pre-eminent position in the artistic world by means# of unusual equipment and the will to do in face of every obstacle. 1 She was born in Meridian, Conn., of Italian parentage. Her childhood was spent with meager opportunities for artistic development. She first sang as soloist in church. In the spring of -1918 she was booked at a New York vaudeville in a "sister act" with her sister, Camela. In the audience one day there happened to be a man named William Thorner, well known vocal instructor in New York. He was im- pressed by the voices of the girls, es-E pecially that of Camela, and offered to I tutor her. Shortly after her sister be-t gan her studies Rosa became restless,t deciding that she wanted to study, al- so. Although it was against the judg- ment of the maestro to accept two pu- pils from the same family, Mr. Thorner finally consented, and Rosa began her arduous duties in company with herc sister. Caruso Hears SistersC Mr. Thorner set his pupil at sev- t eral operatic arias and then arrangedr a soiree for the sisters. The musical cognoscenti were there and declaredv that Caruso should hear Rosa.- Not long after that the great tenort confirmed the opinion of the others. Mr. Gatti-Casazza, general manager of8 the Metropolitan, engaged her at once after hearing her sing. Miss Ponselle. was not engaged for minor roles butI made her debut last November oppo-J site the great Caruso in the premierI performance of Verdi's opera "La For- ' za del Destino."
