Executive
(By Associated Press)
Paris, April 24. - The statement is
sued by Premier Orlando today says
nothing of, the intention of the Ital
ians to quit the peace conference. I
merely states Italy's case concernin
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast an
does not appear in the form of an ul-
timatum.
Premier Orlando declares that Pres
ident Wilson's proclamation is an at-
tempt to place the government in op-
position to the people
"He is treating the Italians as i
they were a barbarous people withou
a democratic government," stated
Premier Orlando.
Premier Rebukes President
The premier rebukes the Presiden
for addressing himself to the Italian
people over the head of the Italian
government, and says he never con-
sidered America bound by the Treaty
of London, but that Italy's case is bas-
ed on right- and justice.
The premier.says he has never de-
nied the Pact of London did not ap-
ply to Fiume, but the Italian claim
was based on the principles of Pres-
ident Wilson's 14 points.
Publication Angers Italians
The premier and other members of
the Italian delegation are much more
angry over President Wilson's world-
wide publication of his position on the
Adriatic question than over his oppo-
sition to the claims and the fact that'
diplomatic procedure has been violat-
ed. The alleged violation consists in
what is termed an insult offered to
the Italian government because the
President made his position known to
the Italian people over the head of the
peace delegation.

WOMEN MEET TO DISCUSS
NEW SOCIAL REFORMS
Social Service for women was the
special topic for discussion at the
year's last Vocational Conference, held
yesterday afternoon in Barbour gym-
nasium under the auspices of the
Women's League and the Y. W. C. A.
Miss Melita Hutzel of the Girls'
Protective league of Deroit described
the work of that organization, em-
phasizing especially the psychological
clinics.
The subject of industrial education
was discussed by Miss Mertland. At
present the federal government furn-
ishes the State of Michigan a certain
sum of money for this work provid-
ing the state itself furnishes an equal
amount. The greatest factor of this
work, the purpose of which is to pro-
mote the happiness of men and wom-
en in Industry, is occupational analy-
sis, which consists in testing all
workers for skill, education, and the
physical requirements for their indi-
vidual positions. Miss Mertland stat-
ed that the one requirement for it is
the overcoming of social prejudices.
Dr. W. G. Norton, who is at the
head of the Community Centers of De-
troit, gave a general summary and de-
scription of all the branches of service
into which social work has developed
in that city. There are nine of these
different branches and each has its
special organization and corps of
workers. Dr. Norton also emphasized
the dearth of workers existing at pres
ent.
Women who are interested in the
work elsewhere should write either
to the School of Civics and Philan-
thropy in Chicago or to the National
Social Workers' exchange in New York
City.

FORTY FORMER AVIATORS AND
STUDENTS MEET AT UION
rThe University is to have an Aero
club. This was definitely decided
TThursday night when forty former air
*service men and aeronautical students
met at the Union.
Most of those present were former
pilots and among them were men who
served in the French flying corps,
Royal air service and the American
army, naval and marine service. Sev-
feral have been decorated.
William Smith, '20, was elected tem-
porary chirman and Harry M. Carey,
'20, Lewis H. Mattern, '19, Tom McAl-
lister, '21, and William Clarkson, '20,
were eleted,to the organization com-
mittee.
'Prof. F. W. Palowski of the Aeronau-
tical engineering department gave an
outline of the work of the formerUn-
iversity Areo club and brought up the
'question of whether a new club should
be started or the old one revived. This
will be decided later. Professor Paw-
lowski is very anxious to see the club
started as he believes it will be of
value both educationally and socially
to the air service men and the aero
students.r r
If the organization can be completed
next week it is probable that the club
will entertain Capt. Eddie Rickenback-
er when he comes May 3.

GENERAL SENIOR EXAMS FOR
YALE, PRINCETON, HARVARD
Examinations along some general
field of college work will be required
of seniors at Harvard in order to re-
ceive a college degree.
This plan has been put into effect
at Yale and Princeton, according to
the Harvard Crimson and it is believ-
ed other American collegiate institu-
tions will follow the lead taken by
these three. This plan cannot be car-
ried out where a student is specializing
in some one subject.
The new plan is expected to em-
phasize the importance of a general t
education.

MORTAROARD TO
HOLD CONVENTION
CAMPUS SALES DECLINE
TO $2,500 THURSDAY
City Campaign Closed But Campus Has
One More Day to Raise
Hoped For Total
"Buy Victory bonds."
Michigan failed to do this and to
uphold their record of the first two
days of the fifth Liberty Loan drive
when subscriptions to the amount of
only $2,500 were taken Thursday.
With the end of the campaign Friday,
every effort is being expended by the
general committee to make the last
day the biggest of thee drive. The
total subscriptions taken -so far total
$37,550 which is below the amount
the committee expected to raise.
In consequence of this the commit-
tee urges the class presidents to see
that their workers are busy urging
people to buy bonds. For the last time
the student committee headquarters in
the registrar's office will be open at
9' o'clock Friday morning, and at 5
o'clock the opportunity to buy bonds
here will be gone.
Special Effort Friday
Commenting upon the results of the
third day of the drive Ralph. Gault,
'21L, chairman of the general commit-
tee, said, "In the last day of the drive,
we are going to endeavor to raise a
sum of which Michigan may be justly
proud. The amount of bonds sold
Thursday was a disappointment, but
it will not discourage us from bigger
efforts in our final attempt Friday.'
Thursday marked the close of the
city volunteer campaign when the
banks volunteered to take the part
of Ann Arbor's quota, then unsubscrib-
ed. This does not mean that the cit-
izens of Ann Arbor will not have the
opportunity to invest their money in
bonds, for they may still do so at the
banks.
University Campaign Not Over
The closing of the city campaign did
not affect the University camaign in
mny way except that sone students
thought the campaign in the Univer-
sity was through, which is not so.
This is not the case, for the cam-
paign will not end until Friday night,
and during the remaining day the ef-
forts to raise a larger sum will be
unremitting.
"They're watching Michigan's rec-
ord."

RUGS SHOWN AT UNION
National Women's Honor Society to
Begin Biennial Meeting
Tonight
BANQUET ARRANGED FOR THIS-
EVENING BY THIS CHAPTER
With Michigan chapter as hostess,
the first biennial convention of Mor-
tarboard, national honorary society for
senior women, will begin at 6:30
Friday night with a banquet in the
Michigan Union. Arrangements have
been made for 48 people, including the
20 active members, 10 visiting dele-
gates, and 18 alumnae members from
Detroit and Ann Arbor.
National Organization
The local chapter was established in
the University in 1906. In June, 1918,
it sent representatives to a convention
at Swarthmore college, Pennsylvania,
and in their adoption of the present
charter, occurred the first step toward
the nationalization of the society. In
place of a Greek letter name, Motor-
board, the title of the Michigan chap-
ter, was adopted, and the membership
requirements, scholarship, leadership,
and personality, were made nationally
uniform. That the vitality of the or-
ganization is assured for the future, is
evident in the number of petitions to
be presented at the convention here.
Program Announced
The program for tonight's banquet
is as follows:.
Toastmaster, Groeso Gaines, '19;
Response, Huldah Bancroft, '15; His-
tory of National Mortarboard, Emily
Loman, '19; Swarthmore college chap-
ter, Miss Isabel Myers; Ohio State
university chapter, Miss Anna Cor-
nell; University of Illinois chapter,
Miss Marie Croisen; Cornell univer-
sity chapter, Miss Helen Spalding;
-University of Minnesota, Miss Ada
Brown; University of Missouri, Miss

"Y" WILL OPEN CAMPAIGN TO
INTEREST HIGH SCHOOL MEN
To create a wider interest in the
University, and tobring to the high
school men of the state an idea of
what the institution stands for, the
University Y. M. C. A. will open a
campaign next week for the estab-
lishment of sectional clubs.
Efforts will be made to secure ac-
tive organizations of the men 'from the
various towns. Notice will be sent
out to these men by the "Y," which
will take charge of the meetings until
definite arrangements can be made.
Oriental rugs, amounting in' value
to nearly half a million dollars, are
being shown under the auspices of
the Ann Arbor Art association April.
24, 25, and 26 in the new Union.
This collection is said to be the
largest of any now in existence due
to scarcity of rugs as a result of the
war. In many of the oriental coun-
tries, particularly Armenia, where rug-
weaving has been for centuries one
of the major arts, that industry is vir-
tually destroyed.
By far the most valuable rug in. the
colection was a Saracenic masterpiece
from the Charles Yerkes collection. A
very old and rare Armenian specimen
worth $10,000 was also on exhibit.
This is a large rug with the Armenian
coat-of-arms, sometimes called a sun-
burst, woven twice in the design.
Prayer rugs, whose triangular de-
sign of pattern dlistinguishes them
from any other type of oriental rug,
were shown.
A price is set on all these specimens
so that they may be purchased by any-
one desiring to take advantage of this
unusual opportunity.
