THE WEATHER CONTINUED FAIR; t ~WARNER 131k ttl ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY .AD NIGHT WIME SEUVICE VOL XXIX. No. 153. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1919. PRICE THREE CENTS } t FAOR SUGGESTION CAMPUS THEATER AS WARMEORIA WOULD IE FITTING MONUMEN' FOR HEROES OF WAR MAKES POSSIBLE NEW DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA Dedicated to "The Living Expressioi of the Sol of a People" (T. F. M.) With the approach of Commence- ment day and the first reunion of old classes since the end of the war, a tentative plan for the University war memorial is being seriously discussed in faculty circles and by the students on the campus. Many Suggestions Several suggestiqZns havie already been made, including proposals for a commemorative arch, chimes, a clock, shafts, or a building of spine nature to be erected on the campus and to be used by the students. For the most part these plans have not met with favorable and enthusias- tic reception because it is believed that, intrinsically, they are too trivial for the great character of the thing they, are to represent and symbolize. An immediate comparison can be seen in Alumni Memorial hall which stands as a monument to the heroes of the Civil war. Dig- nified in form, impressive in appear- ance, it partakes of the quality of beauty and might, an' enduring and worthy memorial of former fighters on Michigan's roll of honor. It is thought that the proposed memorial should be as large in conception and as grand in execution. Campus Theater Suggested Perhaps the best suggestion so far submitted is proposed by Pi Delta Ep- silon, the honorary journalistic fra- ternity - that of a campus theater.' Several faculty men also approve of this plan, while two or three prom- inent alumni in Detroit and Ann Ar- bor believe it to be the most suitable proposal yet offered. Not purely utilitarian, nor solely a memorial, a campus theater could well embody both the practical and the beautiful. By a combination of its purposes it would be of such a na- ture, from the material and aesthetic point of view, as to be fitly commem- orative of the participants in the great event that it seeks to immortalize. A campus theater would at once fulfill the requirements that such a memorial be dignified, symbolic, and useful. It would be vastly more than something to look at as a reminder of the military service of Michigan's sons, for it would be at the same time a memorial, and further, would serve the public use, as the men it com- memorates have served. Of large pub- lic benefit, such a memorial would re- mind people of what it seeks to re- mind them, and would yield service to them as long as it stands. It is eas- ily apparent that a campus theater would play an important part in the life of the campus. Makes Drama Possible With a campus theater, an entire new department might be introduced into the curriculum - dramatic com- position, play construction, stage di- rection, and all the similar subjects that may offer instruction in the high- ' est form of literary art. Such pro- posals are favorably entertained by interested authorities, but the absence of a proper "laboratory" for such ex- perimental work stands in the way of realization. To dedicate the use of the memo- rial to "the; living expression of the soul of a people" seems a most appro- priate sentiment. To permit the stu- dents the enjoyment of the finest works of the drama will not only add to their lives, but will inspire them with the true significance of that ideal conception that should be found in ed- ucation--culture. And it would stand, living and forever serving, a great memorial to the men who fought for the ideal. It will be well to consider seriously for a University war memorial, a campus theater. NATIONWIDE CELEBRATION TO HONOR MOTHERS OF AMERICA NEXT SUN gDAY With nation wide observance, Moth- ers' Day promises to be one of fit- ting tribute and deep reverence for the mothers of America. Greater signifi- cance than ever before will be at- tached to this day of days, Sunday, May 11, for the mothers of America's fighting sons are happy in their proud possession of men who have done' their share in the recent great war and who are now returned to them. Honor for Mothers And, too, we honor the patriotic mdther who cherishes the memory of her son who sacrificed all for his coun- try and we spay homage to her. To mothers of sons and daughters of America this day is dedicated. By personal request of Secretary of War Baker every officer and enlisted man in the army has been asked to write a letter home on Mothers' Day "in recognition of the wonderful part the mothers of America played in making the world safe for democ- racy." This message was conveyed today to the commanding generals of all the departments by the adjutant general. Churches Plan Services Churches in Ann Arbor are plan-- ning appropriate services and special music will be rendered for the occa- sion. The Reverend Dr. Stalker, of the Methodist church, will deliver a sermon in the morning entitled, "Moth- er o' Mine," the theme of which is taken from one of Rudyard Kipling's famous works. The choir and a soloist will give several special numbers and the thought of the day will be im- pressed in the Sabbath school., Special Music and Sermons Services in the Congregtional church will be conducted by the Rev- erend Lloyd C. Douglas, whose ser- mon will be "Demobilizing Mother." Musical numbers fitting in with the theme of the day will be rendered by the choir and solos are also included in the program of the morning. Communion services will be held in the Presbyterian church and the Rev- erend Leonard A. Barrett will deliver the address of the morning's wor- ship. Special music is also planned for these services. Hearty co-operation the country over has made "Mothers' Day" an annual tribute, a day of symbolical remembrance for our mothers-moth- ers of America. GE6RNY REDUCED TO MILITARY IMPOTENCE BY CRUSHING TERMS OF TREATY; TO-BE DEPRIVED Of' COLONIES; MUST MAKE REPARATION FOR DAMAGES WARRIORS ADMIT 10 NEW INDIANS While the lazy Shawandasee, Lazy south wind Shawandasee, Whispered softly Indian legends, Forth there sprang from lodge and wigwam, Warriorsofhthe Michigamua; Donned their war paint and: their feathers, Echoed loud blood- curdling war cries, Swiftly darting toward the oak-tree, Swift as arrow the red deer, So they sought their helpless victims, Went they first to ancient wigwam, Where had dwelt the Great Chief An- gell, Whom they loved and whom they honored, In their songs they sung his glory, While the pale-face, weak as women, Waited there to run the gauntlet, Fearful, made to bear the torture, Soon were carried to the campfire, Taken to the tribal wigwam, There to smoke the pipe of friend- ship, Hailed as "Indians" by the nation. Thus came into Michigamua: Harry M. Carey, Arthur G. Cross, Gerald W. Froemke, Carl T. Hogan, Kenneth T. Knode, William A. Leit- zinger, Carl E. Johnson, Bruce I. Mil- lar, R. O. Rychener, and Archie B. Weston. WILSON AND LLOYD GEORGE WILL PROPOSE TO THEIR GOVERN.

Combined with this will be the se- nior sing, which is given by the grad- uating class in their caps and gowns at the first open air concert of the band. The two promise to give a va- riety of music.' The band has been practicing since Christmas, and after its concerts in Chicago, Saginaw, and Detroit, is in good condition. Several times before the band has expected to begin its open air concerts, but inclex nt weather and campus activities have caused the initial one to be post- poned. Captain Wilson expects to begin promptly at 7 o'clock, providing the weather permits. SALARY INCREASE GAINS POPULARITY "On account of the promised in- crease in salaries of the instructors in the University, I find it very diffi- cult to entice any of the faculty mem- bers away or to even have them con- sider changing colleges," stated Clyde A. Duniway, president of Colorado col- lege, who was visiting'the city Wed- nesday. President Duniway visited the Uni- versity for the purpose of securing prospective instructors for his col- lege. Every few years he makes a tour of the various colleges and uni- versities in the country to' look for such prospective material. STEWARDS TO CUT COST OF FOOD BY CO-OPERATIVE PLAN Co-operative buying for fraternities and. house clubs received an impetus Tuesday evening at the meeting of 22 stewards of the various organiza- tions. The plan is to lower the cost of food by buying all the goods to- gether. Further progress will be made at a meeting to be held next Tuesday evening at the Union at which all the fraternities and house clubs are ex- peded to be represented for it is de- sired to have 40 houses enter into the agreement.I MASQUES READY FOR SHOW TONIGHT (By Associated Press) New York, May 7.-The treaty of peace, submitted to the German. dele- gates at Versailles today by the repre- sentatives of the Allied and Associated powers reduces Germany to military impotence, deprives here of her colon- ies, restores Alsace-Lorraine to France, and provides for reparation to the nations injured by her in the war. This was made known today in an official summary of the treaty, cabled from the American peace commission to the committee on public informa- tion in New York. At the same time "Quality Street" Fea'uring Humor J. M. Barrie to be Shown of Germany Humbled In Treaty GORNETZKY AND GIRLS' GLEE CLUB WILL FURNISH MUSIC "Quality Street" is fully prepared for its opening performance tonight in Sarah Caswell Angell hall. The mu- sic, costumes, and scenery are fin- ished and after six weeks of careful preparation Prof. J. R. Nelson pro- claims the play a finished production. Play Tasks Ability This play by Barrie is a great task of the ability of Masques, with its four acts of sustained interest and the famous, subtle Barrie humor. "Those awful Barrie pauses," said Professor Nelson, "we think we shall get them over effectively, except one where we always succeeded in giving the im- pression that every one on the stage had forgotten his lines, and that we cut." Play Is Ambitious When Masques presented Pinero's "Amazons" last May, it was consider- ed a daring but highly successful pre- sentation, but "Quality Street" is a still more ambitious play and has been mastered well by the cast. Cast Is Announced The cast is composed of Mary Over- man, '19, as Phoebe Throssel, Wini- fred Parsons, '19, as Susan Throssel, Mildred Reindel, '19, as Capt. Valentin Brown, Blanche Howell, '19, as Pat- ty, Helen Osband, '19, as Miss Wil- loughby, Hilda Hagerty, '19, as Fanny Willoughby, Dyme Bodenstab, '19, as Henrietta Turnbull, Melba Bastedo, '19, as Ensign Blades, Anna McGurk, '20, as Lieutenant Spicer, Marion Ames,.'20, as Sergeant, Beatrice Mc- Knight, '19, as Charlotte, and Isabel Kemp, '22, Elaine Tappan, '19, Eliza- (Continued on Page Six) JUNIORS NOMINATE THREE COUNCILMEN David B. Landis, David D. Nash, and J. P.Hart were nominated as can- didates for the position of student councilman at a meeting of the junior literary class which was held Wed- nesday afternoon in Mason hall. William D. Craig, manager of the class track team, issued a call for more juniors to take part in the in- ter-class event to be held May 10. So far only about one man had applied for each event, he said. Class num- erals will be given to men capturing places in the events. David D. Nash reported for the J- Hop committee that about $200 to $250 was netted to the class as profit on the affair. (By Associated Press) Germany, by the terms of the treaty, restores Alsace-Lorraine to France, accepts the internationalization of the Saar basin temporarily and of the Danzig permanently; agrees to territorial changes towards Belgium and Denmark and in East Prussia, cedes most of the Upper Silesia to Poland, and renounces all territorial and political rights outside Europe, as to her own or her allies' territories, and especially to Morocco, Egypt, Siam, Li- beria and Shantung. She also recognizes the total independence of German Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Poland. Her army is reduced to 100,000 men, including officers: conscription ithin her territories is abolished; all forts 50 kilometers (31 miles) east of the Rhine razed; and all importation, exportation and nearly all produc- tion of war material stopped. Allied occupation of parts of Germany will continue till reparation is made, but will be reduced at the end of each of three five-year periods if Germany is fulfilling her obligations. Any violation by Germany of the conditions as to the zone 50 kilometers east of the Rhine will be regarded as an act of war. The German navy is reduced to six battleships, six light cruisers, and twelve torpedo boats, without submarines, and a personnel of not over 15,000. All other vessels must be surrendered or destroyed. Germany is forbidden to build forts controlling the Baltic, must demolish Helgoland, open the Kiel canal to all nations, and surrender her fourteen submarine cables. She may have no military or naval air forces, except 100 un- armed seaplanes, until October 1, to detect mines, and may manufacture aviation material for six months. Germany accepts full responsibility for all damages caused to Allied and Associated governments and nationals, agrees specifically to reimburse all civilian damages beginning with an initial payment of twenty billion marks, subsequent payments to be secured by bonds to be issued at the discre- tion of the reparation commission. Germany is to pay shipping damage on a ton-for-ton basis by cession of a large part of her merchant, coasting., and river fleets and by new construction; and to devote her economic resources to the rebuilding of the devastated regions. She agrees, to return to the 1914 most-favored-nation tariffs, without discrimination of sort: To allow Allied and Associated nationals freedom of transit through her territories and to accept highly detailed provisions as to pre war debts unfair competition, internationalization of roads and rivers, and other economic and financial clauses. She also agrees to the trial of the ex-kaiser by an international high court for a supreme offense against international morality and, of other nationals for violation of the laws and customs of war, Holland to be asked to extradite the former, and Germany being responsible for delivering the latter. The League of Nations is accepted by the Allied and Associated powers as operative and by Germany in principle but without membership. Sim- ilarly an international labor body is brought into being with a permanent office and an annual convention. A great number of international bodies of different kinds and for different purposes are created, some under the League of Nations, some to execute the peace treaty, among the former is the commission to govern the Saar basin till a plebescite is held 15 years hence; the high commissioner of Danzig which is created into a free treaty under the league, and various commissions for plebescites in Malmody, Schleswig and East Prussia. Among those to carry out the peace treaty are the reparations, military, naval, air, financial and economic commissions, the international high court and military tribunals to fix responsibilities, and a series of bodies for the control of international rivers. Certain problems are left for solution between the Allied and Asso- ciated powers, notably details of the disposition of the German fleet and cables, the former German colonies, and the values paid in reparation. Certain other problems, such as the laws of the air and the opium, arms, and liquor traffic are either agreed to in detail or set for early international action. official announcement was made that President Wilson had pledged himself to propose to the senate an agree- ment that the United States in con- junction with Great Britain would go to the assistance of France in case' of an unprovoked attack by Germany. The announcement of this proposed agreement was made in a statement supplementing the official summary of the peace treaty. The supplement reads: "In addition to the securities af- forded in the treaty of peace, the President of the United States has pledged himself to propose to the sen- ate of the United States and the prime minister of Great Britain has pledged himself to propose to the parliament of Great Britain, in engagement sub- ject to the approval of the council of -the League of Nations, to come immed- iately to the assistance of France in case of an unprovoked attack by Ger- many." Versailles, May 7.-In opening the session of the peace congress Premier Clemenceau, the presiding officer, speaking to the German plenipoten- tiaries, said: "It is unnecessary to express need- less words. You have before you the plenipotentiaries of the small and great powers united in this most cruel war, which was imposed upon them. The hour has arrived for heavy settlement of the account." Paul Dutastas, secretary-general of the peace conference, delivered a copy of the treaty to Count von Brockdorff- Rantzan, head of the German delega- tion, who made a brief reply. He said: "We declare that we do not deny the extent of our defeat. We know the power of the German armies is broken." He was unable to admit that Ger- many was solely culpable and demand- ed that the Allies make peace ac- cording to President Wilson's points, Germany pledged herself to repair the wrong done to Belgium and gave assurance of the reconstitution of the territories in northern France. The German spokesman asked for the lib- eration of German prisoners and said that Germany adopted the League of Nations. Paris, May 7.-The council of three has decided upon the disposition of the former German colonies. -A mandate for the German Samoan Islands goes to New Zealand and for the former German possessions south of the Equator to Australia. Japan- is to be mandatory of the islands north of the Equator.
