Paris, May 5.-The announcement that Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino, the leading Italian delegates to the peace conference, had left Rome for Paris, and the further news that the Belgian crown council had given its assent to the signing of the peace treaty by the Belgian dele- gates regardless of the unsatisfactori- ness to Belgium of the financial ar- rangements, have resulted in relieving the embarrassments of the confer- ences. These developments had the effect of producing a call for a plenary ses- sion in the conference to be held to- morrow for the purpose of laying the treaty before - all the participating countries. Paris, May 5.-The policy of Japan ,is to return 'the Shantung Peninsula in full sovereignty to China, retaining only the economic privileges granted Germany and the right to establish a settlement under the usual conditions at Tsing Tao, it was declared in a statement issued today by Baron Ma- 'kino, head of the Japanese delegation at the peace conference.

(T. F. M.) The University of Michigan plans a war memorial to its great number of children who have served in the world war. For the Civil war and the con- flict with Spain, Alumni Memorial hall stands as a splendid and fitting monu- ment to the glory of Michigan col- lege men, who were the fighting cham- pions of battles long passed. Today, as al other universities and colleges are formulating plans to express in en- during ways, their recognition for the heroic dead, and the victorious living, interested discussion is taking place on the University campus, and ques- tions are being asked concerning the nature of the memorial to be raised to the "Men of Michigan." At the University of Minnesota a most gigantic conception is in way of becoming a reality. It is proposed that such a memorial consist of three parts, an auditorium with a seating capacity of 8,000, a great wall 250 feet long, extending from the audi- torium to the campus, and an im- NAVY A9IRMEN SET FOR OCEAN FLIGHT Three United States Hydro - Air- Planes Ready for Start Today DAMAGE DONE TO PLANES BY FIRE PRACTICALLY REPAIRED (By Associated Press) New York, May 5. - A score of nav- 'al aviators-youths in the twenties 'and early thirties, yet experts at fly- ing-navigation and motor mechanics were ready tonight -for a start soon after daybreak tomorrow in their at- tempt to drive three giant hydro-air- planes of the American navy across the Atlantic. With favorable weather officially predicted both in the vicin- ity of the home station at Rockaway -Point, Long Island, and along the coast of Newfoundland, terminus of the journey's first leg, the air met ex- pected to launch at least two, and possibly all, of the three planes sched- uled to make the cruise. The NC-1, whose starboard wings were destroyed early today in a fire which also damaged the NC-4, was nearly fit for the flight again when darkness fell on a small army of me- chanics who had worked on the Graft for more than 18 hours.. The NC-4 had been completely restored by mid- :afternoon. There was a possibility that the NC-1 might be, delayed in her jump- off a few hours or even a day or more, if necessity of unexpected ad- justments of the new wings developed at the last moment, but the NC-3 and NC-4 were scheduled to take the air sometime between dawn and 7 o'clock. SCENERY DESIGNED FOR MASQUES PLAY All the scenery and property to bej used in "Quality Street," the. annual play of Masques, has been designeda and supervised by Prof. J. R. Nelson, director. He has had to contend with the disadvantages of the size and equipment of the stage in Sarah Cas- well Angell hall but has producedk some successful results with it. Two rehearsals are being held every day and the production is near- ing completion and will be fully ready< for its presentation on May 8 andt 9. In speaking of the work of thee 25 girls of the cast Professor Nelson said yesterday, "The production of the1 play has covered six weeksAOf inten- sive work and I have never seen greater loyalty and devotion." Tickets will be sold today, tomor- row and Thursday in University hall and may also be obtained at Wahr's book store. Inasmuch as the cafaci- ty of Sarah Caswell Angell hall is lim- ited to 400, the public is urged to ob-t tain tickets as soon as possible. S. S. ATWOOD, '18E, LEAVES r SCROOL FOR ACTIVE WORKf S. S. Atwood, '18E has left the University to do appraisal propertya work for engineering concernsr throughout the state; Since his dis-a charge from the navy he has been en-t rolled in the Graduate school.c mense campanile with chimes and a bronze memorial bearing the names of Minnesota soldier dead. Plans have already been drawn up by the archi- tects and the alumni association has already started the campaign. Bronze Tablets at Princeton At Princeton a chapel with chimes and bronze tablets is proposed, but as yet not determined, while Wisconsin is to have a memorial union and as- sembly hall given by the state, as a memorial to all Wisconsin soldiers. The University of Utah has also been suggested as a site for a state memo- rial. An elaborate grove and system of parks is being planned by several famous landscape architects for Kan- sas. A memorial hall is being given to the University of Pennsylvania by the state. At Indiana, subscriptions are being raised to erect a great me- morial hospital at the university, while Grinnell has approved the first drafts for a campanile and chimes. To sum up the fundamental quali- fications of a memorial, it must be dignified and symbolic, reminding the campus of the memories and deeds it seeks to perpetuate. Furthermore it must be useful to the undergraduates and have some important part to play in the life of the campus. Further than purely a memorial, it should serve the pu'blic use, as the men it commemorates have served. Public Benefit to People Not only should the memorial be beautiful to look upon, dignified In use, but of large public benefit that the people may be reminded of what it seeks to remind them, not only by its appearance, but by the service it will yield to them as long as it stands. By commencement time definite ideas should be fairly well formed re- ,garding the memorial, for it will aug- ment greatly for its success and early .erection, if the first reunions of old classes since the end of the war agree upon the nature of the second great war memorial in University history. M' ' E. F. M N TO EMBAK NEXT WEEK SECRETARY BAKER REPORTS RAPID HOMEWARD MOVE- { MENT OF TROOPS (By Associated Press) New York, May 5.-The one mil- lionth man of the American expedi- tionary forces will embark for the United States next week, Secretary Baker said today on his arrival home from France. The homeward return of troops is progressing in a most sat- isfactory manner, and he added that the 300,000 a month mark would be reached in June. Mr. Baker left here April 7, accom- panied by Warren Pershing, the gen- eral's only son. Army in Good Condition Speaking of his trip Mr. Baker said, "The American army abroad is in splendid condition. The third army which I inspected on the Germanj frontier is beyond doubt the best equipped in the world.- It is every- thing an army should be in all its departments. Rapid Movement of Troops. "The men are anxious to get home and we are moving them as rapidly' as possible. I expect to see the 300,- 000 a month mark to be reached in June." ' Mr. Baker said he visited only one embarkation camp, Brest. "Its condi- tion is ideal and you can get the same expression from any doughboy on this ship. I did not see any of the others, but I was informed that the same gool condition prevails at all." GREEKS EXPRESS GRATITUDE FOR SERVICE OF RED CROSS (By Associated Press) Xanthi, Greece, May 5.-Greece is indebted to the United States for many things, but she probably will remem- ber longest the aid given by the Amer- ican Red Cross to the 50,000 or more refugees who have been coming back from Bulgaria and Asia Minor over every road and mountain pass. King Alexander, Premier Venizelos, and the Greek government have al- ready testified their gratitude for this assistance which was made possible through the generosity of the Ameri- can people. Prof. Gordon, War Prisoner, Lands New York, May 5.-Capt. William H. Gordon, formerly assistant professor surgery at the University of Michigan, arrived from overseas today on the transport Alfonso XIII, which brought 3,000 men of the 82nd division.

VETERAN NURSE MADE HEAD SERVICE WORKER MISS L l. IHAVEY APPOINTED AFTER LONG SERVICE OVERSEAS Miss . M. Havey who has spent a year and a half with the American army overseas, has been appointed bead nurse for this country in the recently organized home service work. The home nursing idea is to be car- ried out throughout' the country, the low physical standards set by draft registrants showing its urgent need. Considered Great Task Red Cross authorities consider this work a greater undertaking than the war work just completed. The plan is such that several nurses will be stationed in each county. They will give lectures at the schools on social hygiene, will instruct mothers in home nursing and will be available -at any time to give advice on public health questions. Washtenaw will have seven nurses, three are already on duty, two in Ann Arbor, and one in Ypsilanti. Those Competent Will Qualify The University recently graduated a class of nurses who will form thei nucleus for the various county or- ganizations. Only the most competent will be put in charge of the work. All who attended the University recently, taking the home nursing work were required to be trained nurses before they could enter and it is planned to keep up these requirements. This district, with headquarters at Chicago, established a record during the influenza epidemic last fall by placing 1,000 nurses in the local train- ing camps within a week. The local district composed of seven states is planning to make another record for efficiency in the new work.

This was an increase of $145,751,000 since Satur- day. A plea for larger Victory Liberty Loan subscriptions was voiced in a telegram received Monday by The Daily from Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury. The message follows: "The Victory Liberty Loan cam- paign is two-thirds over, but subscrip- tions have been reported for little more than one-third of the loan. "Is it conceivable that the American people, who with heart and soul wag- ed the fight for freedom, will permit this loan of victory and thanksgiving to fail? "Our sons gave of their health, of their strength, and of their lives that freedom might not perish. There are one and a half million American boys in France and Germany. Now that the war is ended it would be as reasonable for them to dishonor the nation by 'deserting the flag as for the nation to dishonor itself by deserting them. Is it a large thing that we are now asked to lend our money to pay the cost of victory? Is American money less will- ing than American manhood? "Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds buy Vic- tory notes, and success is sure." PROGRESS IN WORK ON OLD EDITIONS "Photo-stat" work on copies of the Kentucky Gazette for the years 1787 to 1800, which is being done by the Library, is nearly finished.
