PRICE THREE CENTS LEGUE COVENNT ADOPTED WITHOUT DIVISION, CHANGE CONSTITUTION MOVED BY WIL- SON; BRITON NAMED AS FIRST I SECRETARY-GENERAL TAX EQUALITY CLAUSE; NOT INCLUDED IN TEXT1 French and Nipponese Amendments Left for Consideration by League Itself (By Associated Press) ' Paris, April 28. - The revised cov- enant of the League of Nations was adopted at 5:17 o'clock this afternoon by the plenary session of the peace conference without division and with- out amendment. The covenant had been moved by President Wilson. The President said it was not neces- sary to emphasize the significance of the great covenant and the hopes en-; teftained that the conference of the nations of the world would maintain justice in their international rela- tions.] Representatives to Committee The President moved that the pow- a name representatives to form a c mmittee of nine to prepare plans for the league and to establish the ' sept of it. Sir Eric Drummond of Gveat Britain has been named as the7 first secretary-general of the league,' the President announced. Regarding] the composition of the pxecutive coun-_ cil he said Belgium, Brazil, Greece and] Spain, in addition to the five great] powers, would be represented on the council until a permanent choice had' been made.] Japanese Amendment Baron lakino, head of the Japanese] delegation, who spoke after Presidenta Wilson, moyed the Japanese amend- ment on racial equality. Hesaid it' was a race question with the possi- bility of becoming acute. The equali- ty of nations, he asserted, should be a] fundamental principle of the league.' Regret of Nipponese' The Japanese statesman added that] he felt it his duty to voice the regret] of the Japanese delegation over the failure of the League of Nations com- mittee to do justice to the Japanese] demand, which was based on a deep-' rooted national conviction. Baron Makino announced that the effort would be continued to have the racial] equality principle adopted as a part of the covenant. TLatiAmerian View Chairman Acevedo of the Uruagalan delegation said he saw in the league a great aid to the realization of Latin- American industrial and commercialj prosperity.. Leon Bourgeois, former premier, spoke for France. He said that the] French amendments to the league, in- cluding a demand for an international" army and police force and the limita- tion and verification of armaments of all nations, had not been adopted.] France, however, would sign the pact, he declared. Amendments Withdrawn' The Japanese and French amend- ments were withdrawn and it is un- derstood that they have been left for decision by the League of Nations it- self. The text of the labor principles for insertion in the treaty was adopted and the conference adjoined without considering responsibilities. M. Clemenceau announced the with- drawal of the amendments and Presi- dent Wilson's proposal that the cov- enant be adopted was carried. There was, not more than a moment's pause, in the honor of the league of nations creation. When the decision was tak- en President Wilson was surrounded by delegates and friends who congrat- ulated him on the constitution of the league which he had steered past many quicksands. 1919-20 CHAIRMEN OF LEAGUE CHOSENAN Chairmen of all Women's league UC ed yesterday by Marguerite Chapin, president of the Women's league.R E Following is a list of the commit- LASS tee chairmen: membership, Cornelia Clark, '21; social, Nellie Yerkes, '22; house, Norma Judson, '22; dramatic, CARL T.

BRESHKOVSRY SPENT HER LIFE FIGHTING CGAR'S TYRANNY Mme. Catherine Breshkovsky, who speaks tonight at 8 o'clock in Hill auditorium upon the subject, "Rhe- claiming Russia," is 75 years old. She was born in 1844 on an estate in the district of Vitebsk in Little Russia. Her father was the son of a Polish aristocrat, her mother came of a no- ble family of Great Russia. Impressed by Injustice From her earliest years, Catherine Breshkovsky had been impressed by the contrast of living conditions ex- isting between her father's serfs and that of her own family. - Throughout her girlhood she was constantly thinking of ways in which the evils about her might be remedied. At the age of 25 years she married a young nobleman of Liberal tendencies. Her husband was in sympathy with the revolutionary movement in Russia but was not prepared, as was she, to make great personal sacrifices in the way of .the cause., Hated Autocracy The longer Mme. Breshkovsky studied the problem, the more she be- came convinced that autocracy must be overthrown if the suffering peas- antry weret to be relieved. §e did not quail in the knowledge of the inev- itable results which would follow an open profession of her beliefs. She con- sequently became an active agitator against the Russian political system. After a few years of campaign work Mme. Breshkovsky was apprehended and imprisoned. She served two years of solitary confinement under the most revolting conditions before her trial was heard. Sentenced to Mines She was the first woman to be sen- tenced to the mines as a hard labor, convict. She was given a five year, term, the same punishment as that meted out to a murderer. After serving her term, she return- ed from Siberia and immediately set about organizing once more disguised (Continued on Page Six) DETROIT PAPER GIVES FALSE IMPRESSION OF DR. ANGELL'S ATTITUDE HOLDS ATHLETIC COACH MAY PERFORM MISSION Would Have Head of Athletics Prove Real Element for Good Among Students (Herbert R. Slusser) "The Michigan Daily: - "No truth whatever in the report concerning Mr. Yost, nor in my alleg- ed intention to attempt to prevent in- tercollegiate athletics. My views on athletics are in part contained in pa- per read before New York meeting of National Intercollegiate Athletic asso- ciation. "J. R. ANGELL." The preceding telegram was receiv- ed by The Daily Monday afternoon from Dr. James Rowland Angell, f the University of Chicago. The mess- age is a direct denial of a report pub- lished in a Detroit paper to the effect that, if Dr. Angell should accept the presidency of the University of Michi- gan, he would demand Michigan's withdrawal from intercollegiate ath- letics. The report, the falsity of which is established by Dr. Angell's telegram, caused much excitement on the campus and in educational and athletic circles throughout the coun- try. Follows Regents' Session Following the all day session of the regents Friday, during which they fail- ed to come to a final decision regard- ing the conditions to Dr. Angell's ac- ceptance of the presidency of the Uni- versity, a Detroit paper presented as the bone of contention Dr. Angell's "alleged intention to attempt to pre- vent intercollegiate athletics. The Sunday edition of the paper went farther, raising the questions, "How far would he go? Would he dismiss Coach Yost?" In {his own words, Dr. Angell de- nes any intent either to dismiss Mr. Yost or to abolish intercollegiate ath- letics. He refers to his views on ath- letics as expressed in a paper read be- fore the annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic associa- tion held Dec. 27, 1918, in New York. In that speech Dr. Angell pleads for a different and higher conceptio of the duties of the athletic coach, and for a less w'arped conception of the rela- tion of sports to the college. Dr. An- gell's conception of the head of the athletic department is given in the following extract from his paper: Gives Opinion of Duties "If, then, physical education in the largest sense is an intrinsic part pf the work of the college, why should there longer be hesitation in recogn'iz- ing that fact and accepting the full responsibility which goes with it? Why should there not be professorships of physical education, presided over, as is already the case in certain highly rep- utable institutions, by men of profes- sional rank especially trained for the work? It is an ignorant observer who does not know that the successful coach or athletic director exercises a far greater moral influence over the average college men than any but the most exceptional preacher can do. Moreover, it is an influence which the (Continued on Page Six) ti.4_ i1 G1^lri7r. .. _ . __ ..: .. FACULTY MEMBERS, NOTE!
