(By Associated Press)
Paris, April 25.-While the Ameri-
can delegates expressed regret over
the temporary break with the Italians,
they were confident that some settle-
ment would be effected when the pre-
mier confers with the Italian parlia-
ment.
The general opinion in American
circles is that the making of peace
will be somewhat delayed. There is
no hint, however, that President Wil-
son will yield in the slightest con-
cerning Flume, and in the opinion of
the Americans an agreement can only
be reached by a change in the Italian
attitude.
Not a rupture, but a suspension of
Italy's collaboration in the peace con-+
ference - that is how the rituation
was defined in conference circles here.
The Italian delegation feeling that its
representative character has been call-
ed into question in certain quarters,
considers it its duty to refer to the
Italian parliament, but it is believed
to be probable that Premier Orlando
will be back in time for the opening
of the negotiations with the German
plenipotentiaries at Versailles, which
will not occur before May 1, or 2.
Until the Italian prime ministers re-
turn, the Italian delegates will not
attend the sessions of either the con-
ference or its commissions, but in or-
der to show that Italy desires to
maintain good relations with the Al-
lies, the Italians will continue to col-
laborate on the inter-allied commis-
sions not depending upon the peace
conference, such as the economic coun-
cil, the armistice commission, and the
commission on supply, transportation,
raw materials, etc.
Forty-two thousand dollars!
This is approximately the
which was raised by voluntary
sum
sub-
scriptions in the campus campaign for
the Fifth Liberty loan, during the four-
day campaign which began Tuesday
and ended Friday at 5 o'clock.
First Two Days Best,
The first two days of the campaign
were the two best, for on those days
$35,000 was raised; approximately
$13,000 on Tuesday; and $22,000 on
Wednesday. Thursday and Friday the
campaign slackened, for on each day
only $3,400 was raised, which brought
t he total up to $42,000.
The largest single subscription on
the campus was given by Ada Arnold,
'19, who bought bonds to the amount
of $5,000. The nearest approach .to
this sum was $2,500, and there were
several subscriptions of this size.
ommuittee Satisfied
ralph Gault, '21L, chairman of the
general committee in charge of the
drive, speaking of the work which had
been done, said, "We appreciate the
efforts of everyone who has worked
for this drive, and the spirit with'
which 'vfchigan students have entered
into the campaign. The amount which
was raised by subscriptions was en-
tirely satisfactory and the committee
wishes to thank the students who so
heartily entered into this campaign,
subscribing' for bonds and by their
work. '
"No small credit is due to those
members of the faculty who talked at
the fraternity and sorority houses, and
to those students who talked up the
campaign. The work of the archi-
tects in making and placing the Vic-
tory signs over the campus, helped
greatly. All worked in unison, and

DETROIT SWIMMERS
DEFEAT MICHIGAN
Considering that the Michigan
swimming team has had poor facili-
ties for training and that they were
competing with a championship team,
their defeat at the hands of. the De-
troit Athletic club tank stars was not
as bad as the score of 37 to 13 might
indicate.'

as follows 60 yard free style, Rob-
erts, D. A. C. 35 sec; Dave Nixon D.

Mrs. Malcomson of the D. A. C., Cen-
tral Association champion and second
in the National championship, gave
the Arm Arbor spectators a real treat
in the form of a fancy diving exhibi-
tion.
The diving contest, won by White
of Michigan, was of the most inter-
est. There were the four compulsory
dives, swan, back, front jack-knife and
back jack and three optional dives.
Briggs, state champion fancy diver,!
White, M won the diving contest with
a score of 77.7 out of a possible 100.
who took second place, was handi-
capped for the reason that he has
been diving from a 10 foot board and.
had no time to get used to this board,
which was only two feet from the wa-
ter. However, White's dives could
hardly be improved upon and he won
much -deserved applause. Moses, tak-

Malcolm W. Bingay, Managing Editor

Speaker
NEW MEN ADMITTED FRIDAY
NIGHT AT BANQUET AT UNION
Malcolm W. Bingay, managing editor
of the Detroit News, was the princi-
pal speaker at the spring initiation
banquet of Sigma Delta Chi, profes-
sional journalistic fraternity, Friday
night at the Union.
"The world is flooded these days
.with propaganda of every conceivable
kind; propaganda for good, as we un-
derstand it, and propaganda for evil.
We are being suffocated in a flood of
printers' ink. The world is a mosaic
of warring factions and each faction
is yelling and howling from its press
box," said Mr. Bingay. "The newspa-
per man must rise above blind parti-
sanship, must grasp the sorry scheme
of things entire, and leave propagan-
da to the propagandists.
Responsibility Grave
"In this waste, this weltering chaos,
in the center of this tumult and strug-
gle, there stands the newspaper man.
It is a time for iron nerves, calm
courage, and a sense of humor. He
has a responsibility as grave as that
of the churchman or the statesman.
"I thin* we will all agree that in
the reporting of man's social activi-
ties, his industrial, political and eco-
nomical development, there is but one
thing to do-learn all the facts and
report them honestly. The work of
the journalist in truly sensing his re-
sponsibilities, in the inculcating of
faith and charity and broad under-
standing in the public mind, is a big
and worthy task. I know of no higher
calling."
- Mr. Bingay's speech upon the re-
sponsibility of the newspaper man,
followed addresses by Prof. J. R.
Brumm, who discussed the profession-
al spirit in journalism, and by Cyril
Arthur Player, special writer on the
Detroit News, on "The Twenty-first
Century Newspaper." Prof. F. N.
Scott, of the rhetoric department, gave
a short talk on the relation of ideals
in journalism to the cry for sensa-
tionalism.
Initiates Welcomed
Milton Marx, '19, was toastmaster of
the evening. Clarence Roeser, '19,,
managing editor of The Daily, wel-1
comed the initiates, and Mark K. Ehl-
bert, '20, responded to the welcome.,

'ITALIAN SOLDERS IN FIUME
Paris, April 25.-An American
offier who left Fiume three days
ago and who has just arrived
in Paris says it was reported
there that a total of fourteen di-
visions had been moved to Fiume
by the Italians. He said the city
was full of Italian soldiers who
were arriving constantly.
Virtually all the inhabitants of
Fiume except Italians had left
the city before the officer de-
parted. Even many of the Itali-
an civilians, the officer added,
have departed.
Another American officer who
reached here today from Rome
says the feeling against Am-
ericans there is very bitter. He
asserts that he was asked in
Rome to leave cafes because the
proprietors said Italian officers
-..eclined to eat in the same places
with Americans.
ESPERANTO IS, POSSIBLE
INTERNATIONAL TONGUE
"Esperanto has nothing to do with
internationalism, or advanced social-
ism," said Dr. T. Sigel of Detroit in
a lecture on the subject Friday even-
ing in University hall.
"Dr. L. L. Zamenhof, a Russian-Pol-
ish Jew, invented it merely as an in-
ternatioial auxiliary language, be-
cause he believed that people of dif-
ferent races and tongues could settle
their differences more peaceably if
they could understand each other's
ideas and principles."
This is the 33d year that Esperanto
has been in practical use. Before that,
over 300 different systems were tried
but none survived.
Esperanto is based upon 16 different
Indo-European languages, but is ex-
peeted to take the place of none. It
is intended to be the long hoped-for
and often scoffed-at international
tongue. 4
In a one-half hour study a day for
four weeks, a reading, writing and
speaking knowledge of it may be ob-
tained. A man who knows the Eng-
lish language thoronehly has aboumt RE;
Forestry Club To
Return To Nature;
Rolled in their blankets, and sleep-
ing around the camp fires on the Sag-
inaw Forest farm, the members of the
Forestry club will spend the Friday
night before their annual field day.
Saturday, May 10, has been set as the
date and committees are already at
work getting plans under way.
The events of the day will begin
with a baseball game in the fore-
noon.
An old fashioned barbecue will be
held at noon. The meat will be sup-
ported on steel rods and cooked over
an open bed of coals, and, as the
club boasts of several experts in this
line of work, unusually good results
are expected.
As has been the custom at the field
days in the past, contests in rifle, pis-
tol and trap shooting will be held in
the afternoon. Talks will be given
by members of the department facul-
ty, and under their direction exhibi-
tions in camp breaking and packing
will be held. Prizes, the nature of
which is being held a secret by the
committees, will be awarded the win-
ners of the various events.
ART STUDENTS TO
SEE TILE MAKING
Students of the College of Archi-
tecture and members of the Ann Ar-
bor Art association will visit the Pewa-
bic Pottery, of Detroit, Saturday
morning, for the purpose of studying
the process of tile making for decora-
tiye and architectural purposes. The
party will leave on the 7 o'clock Mich-
igan Central train.
Through error in the Friday issue
of The Daily it was announced that1
a trip of this nature had taken placef
last Wednesday.

(By T. F. McAlister)
Disposing of the most important
matter up for determination, that of
the acceptance of the presidency by
Prof. James Rowland Angell, of Chi-
cago, by adjourning for further Con-
sideration until next Thursday, the
Board of Regents occupied the session
yesterday afternoon with the adoption
of the R. O. T. C. military training
system at Michigan, the acceptance of
several donations, the award of de-
grees, and the appointment of fellow-
ships for the ensuing year.
It is understood that before the next
meeting the members of the board wil
have arrived at a definite decision re-
garding the conditions stipulated by
Dean Angell, and by that time it is
believed an understanding wil be
reached.
Accept Government Proposal
Acting upon the report of the co-
mittee on military, the Regents adopt-
ed the proposal of the war department
to establish a reserve officers' training
corps at the University. This organ-
ization beginning with the next fall
semester will be concerned especially
with the signal corps, and coast and
field artillery. Because of the nature
of the work, it will be confined for the
greater part to the engineering col-
lege, as over 90 per cent of the work
must be of necessity carried on in
conjunction with the various courses
in civil engineering and surveying.
Against Drill and Uniform
Introducing an attractive feature,
there will be no military drill nor
wearimg of uniforms about the campus.
During the college year, the work
done will be of a theoretical nature,
the practical application of the prin-
ciples thus studied to be put into ex-
ecution during the summer camps.
There will be several of these vaca-
tion training schools throughout the
country, and attendance during two
summers is necessary to receive cred-
it in the work. After two years thus
spent, students will receive 40 cents
a day from the government, and after
the passing of the examinations the
commission of second lieutenant will
be given those successfully completing
the course. During the six weeks of
the summer training, students will
receive army mileage to and from the
camps, and while no provision has
yet been made for pay, all uniforms,
food, housing, and equipment will be
given by the government.
Dr. Warthin Honored
Donating $6,000 to medical studies

Interdepartmental Social Hygiene
board specified that the sum should be
used in Dr. Aldred S. Warthin's work
to discover improved methods of dem-
onstrating the presence of spirochete
pallida in human tissues. Consider-
ing Dr. Warthin's researches of great
value and importance, the hygiene
board, interested in all discoveries and
methods in the treatment of venereal
disease, chose the Michigan man for
this special study. Dr. Warthin states
that the fund will be used during the
next three years for materials and as-
sistants in the work. The Regents
also authorized Dr. Warthin to pre-
sent an exhibition in mustard gas at
the June meeting of the American
Medical association.
The board accepted with a vote of
thanks, a gift of $1,000 from Mr. H. H.
Service, of Detroit, and formerly of
Ann Arbor, to be used as a loan fun
for la*..students.
University Given Paintings
Three valuable paintings were pre-
sented to the University by Mr. J. A.
Wetmore of New York, and were grate-
fully accepted by the board. Two
landscapes, "A Scene in the Catskills"
by Thomas Cole, and "A Scene in the
