PRICE THREE r , RHNTZAN PHESENTS T REATY DEMANDS DECLARES REQUIREMENTS CAN- NOT BE MET BY ANY PEOPLE "WEEK OF MOURNING" DECREED FOR BERLIN Goternment Bans Frivolity to Give Expression to Sorrow Caused By Peace Terms (By Associated Press) Berlin, May 10.-Count Von Brock- dorf-Rantzau, a despatch from Ver- sailes says, has presented to Premier Clemenceau, chairman of 4he peace conference, a note declaring that the draft of the peace treaty contains de- mands which could be borne by no people. Many of the demands, more- over, in the view o the German ex- perts, are incapable of accomplish- ineit. The German program for a League of Nations has also been presented to Premier Clemenceau. Despatches from Versailles say that the German dele- gation complained that Germany was asked to sign the Allied plan for a league although not among the states invited to enter it. "Week of Mourning" 'A week of mourning" has been de- creed by the government to give ex- pression to the "sorrow and depres- sionu" called forth by the announce- ment of the peace terms. The week wilt begin Sunday. Frivolity Banned The decree provides that public fri- volity must be stopped for a period of eight days. Its provisions affect the first class theaters in the same man- ner as the popular cabarets. Dancing, horse-racing, and gambling will be suppressed for the week, and the oc- casion will be used to put a definite end to the gambling trenzy which is holding greater Berlin in its tenta- cles. A season of soul searching would seem .to be. the most probable reac- tionto the frivolity and gambling which has been in progress. Paris, May 10.-The Allies can ad- mit" of no discussion of their right to (Continued on Page Six) FRENCHAPROVE LEAGUE OF NATION- RO ILLAIN WILSON DID NOT CONSIDER SIT- UATION, SAYS RETURNED LIEUTENANT "Contrary to the general 'belief, the French people were heartily in favor of the League of Nations project," said Lieut. Eugene Rovillain in talk- ing to some of his former pupils Fri- day afternoon. "In the opinon of France, Wilson made his big mistake in laying down his 14 points without considering that the whole European situation might be changed when victory was finally won-0 Explain 14 Points Lieutenant Rovillain said that Wil- son when he proposed his league plan, declared that every nation should make concessions; and that the United States would suspend the Monroe Doctrine and recognize the equality of nations. Republican opposition in this country forced him to tell Cle- menceau that the United States could mwt make their concessions. This gave the "old fox" the opening that he 'wanted for the insurance of France's safety in the future. But it also caus- ed all sorts of other trouble for Japan and Italy both declared their right to annexations. Lieutenant Rovillain ex- pressed the opinion that there was no doubt but that Italy would get Fiume in the end. Lands Yank Soldiers In speaking of the fighting ability of American soldiers, Lieutenant Ro- villain said that they did remarkably well, considering their lack of tain- lug and experience. They never were minus courage and their main fault was confidence, to the point where they would not listen to the advice of their more cautious French teach- ers. The officers were so untrained for fighting that in attacking a ma- chine gun nest, for instance, they would lose 1,000 men taking the posi- tion where the French would lose but 100.f "But the Americans always took such positions," said Lieutenant Ro- villain. "Often they would throw away their guns and go after the Boches with their sleeves rolled up." He said that only about 250,000 Amer- ican soldiers of the 2,000,000 in France participated in the actual fighting. "V"' LIBERTY LOAN OVERSUBSCRIBED (By Associated Press) Washington, May 10.-The fifth and last popular war loan of the United 'States has been oversub- scribed. Although the approximate total will not be known for nearly two weeks figures available tonight showed that the American people had responded generously to the appeal to "finish the job." Like all of its predecessors the Vic- tory Liberty Loan on the last day of the campaign suddenly jumped above the mark set as its limit. The day brought an avalanche of subscriptions which banks could not attempt to count until next week. None of today's -harvest was includ- ed in the total of $$3,849,638,000 of- ficially tabulated tonight by the treas- ury, and officials would not be sur- prised to see the final figures grow to nearly $6,000,000,000. Only $4,500,- 000,000 will be accepted. A6NN UAL BOUNE Six Acts Besides Musical Numbers Will Form Entertainment at Hill Auditorium MAY 27 ANNOUNCED AS DATE; PROCEEDS FOR NEW UNIFORMS Participating in the entertainment to be given under the auspices of the Varsity band, Tuesday, May 27, will be comedians, impersonators, and man- agers wh, were ,prominent in past Bounces or other entertainments pro- duced by the students. The six acts or more which togeth- er with popular and college music by the band, will form the program for the evening which will be given by men who have won applause for previous performances in Hill auditorium. A vaudeville skit, acted by leading com- edian talent, and musical numbers, given by talented musicians, are billed for the entertainment. Experienced Men in Charge The production side is composed al- most entirely of men, trained by form- er band bouices. E. G. Edwards, '20, manager of the band received exper- ience in band work and H. S. Simpson, '21E, assistant manager of the band worked on last year's bounce. B. R. D'Ooge handled the publicity and sales policies of the bounces before, as he will again this year. John Kasberger, ex-'18, and Charles Boos, ex-'18, director and assistant director rpspectively, managed other performances of a like nature and Kas- berger has participated in several Un- ion operas. Frederick Storrer, stage manager, was employed in a like cap- acity with the Spotlight vaudeville and the Union opera this year. Best Talent Secured In, every respect the management is endeavoring to make this entertain- ment equal band bounces in past years. The best available talent has been secured for the occasion, and re- hearsals will start soon. The profit goes to pay the expenses of the band during the past year and will probably enable the members of the organization to secure new uni- forms. During the past year the Var- sity 'hand has played at Chicago, Sgag- inaw, and Detroit, at all of which plac- es, it has won praise by its playing. WILSON TO DIRECT '14 POINT' REPLIES (By Associated Press) Paris, May 10.- President Wilson will personally direct such answers which may be decided on concerning German inquiries into a peace treaty differing from the President's 14 points. This was announced in higher quart- ers today, according to the instruction which Chancellor Scheidemann has given the German plenipotentaries at Versailles to address a note to the Allies comparing the terms of the treaty with the 14 points and making a counter-proposal for verbal negotia- tions.I Thus far, however, no such note or counter-proposal has been received and it is the present opinion that nothing is likely to take such form for a week, as the Germans probably will wish to study the treaty before taking action. 1,600 ARRESTED IN HAMBURG FOR RIOTING AND PLUNDERING Berlin. May 10. --More than 1,600 persons are under arrest in Hamburg charged with rioting, plunder, and disturbing the peace in connection with recent disorders there. BUCKEYE CONTEST, LCALED BCAUSE SOF WETGROUNDIS OFFICIALS' ATTEMPT TO LOCATE FIELD IN CONDITION, PROVES FUTILE THIRD GAME OF FOUR DAY TRIP, CANCELLED Wolverines Visit Notre Dame, Purdue and 0. S. U. Without Being Able to Play Single Game Although more than 2,500 tickets had been sold for the Michigan Ohio State contest to be played at Colum- bus yesterday afternoon, the game was called because of wet grounds. After a fruitless attempt upon the part of the officials of both the home team and the visitors, to locate a field upon which to play the game, the Michigan nine was forced to leave Co- lumbus without having played the Buckeye team. Grounds Too Wet An attempt upon the part of the home nmanagement to secure the American association field for the game failed when the ground keeper refused to let them play upon it be- cause, as he said, it was too wet for a game. For the same reason the University grounds could not be used. Despite the fact that the game was called, excitement concerning it was running high in the Buckeye capital, and there was talk of asking the Michigan team to remain in the city to play Sunday ball. f Betting was running high, with the Ohio State fans looking for all of the money they could get. The Scarlet and Gray fans were of the opinion that they could win from the Maize and Blue. Third Game 'Called This was the third game in a three day trip taken by the Wolverines,. that was called as the direct cause of the weather. ThedNotre Dame contest which was scheduled at South Bend, and the Purdue game to have been played at Lafayettee, were both called off because of the condition of the grounds. Despite the fact that every possible effort was made by both teams, to have' the game at Columbus played, it was necessarily called off. Coach Lund- gren said last night that he was sorry that he didn't get a chance to play the Columbus team. Every member of the team, also expressed his regret at hav- ing been forced to return home with- out playing a single game. The team arrived at 10:42 o'clock last night in the city from the capital of the Buckeye state. The next oppo- sition to be given the Wolverines will be in Ferry field, Wednesday after- noon. By a resolution of the Congress of the United States, on this, Mothers' Day, all the people of the country are requested to display the flag of the United States as a suitable tribute to the American motherhood. Many of the Ann Arbor churches will observe "Mothers' Day" with fit- ting sermons and ceremonies. A spe- cial service for Mothers' Day will be held at 10:30, at the Church of Christ. The West Side Methodist Episcopal church has combined Bible school and preaching service to honor mothers in special exercise and song. Mrs. . V. Palmer will speak on "A Mother's Message to Mothers." John Mason Wells, pastor of the First Baptist church, will have as the subject of his sermon, "The Glory of Mother." "On this day everyone is desired to wear a flower in memory of the one who brought him into being and car- ed for him in helpless years of in- fancy," is the keynote of the day. The Ann Arbor floral shops report' a good sale of flowers for today. Spe- cial bouques and favors have been made up and are at a premium among the students. Jiother's Day being Observed In Ann Arbor And Entire Nation COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES FINAL PLANS FOR CLASH BETWEEN, LOWER CLASSES SECTIONAL CLUBS GAIN POPULARITY Plans for reorganization of the In- diana club are being projected by University students of that state. It is expected that a meeting will be held some time within the next two weeks to put the old Indiana club on a firmer basis. For some time Hoosier students have been advocating such a *movement, and they have finally gained the con- sent of Prof. Jesse S. Reeves to pre- side when a meeting is called. Pro- fessor Reeves is an old Indiana man, hailing from Richmond, and favors an Indiana club. The exact date for a meeting to reorganize the club will be announced later. Two more sectional clubs are to be organized by the Y. M. C. A. Monday night at Lane hall. All men from Calhoun and Shiawassee counties are asked to meet at the Y Monday even- ing at 7 o'clock for a short but very important meeting. The purpose is to discuss plans for clubs from counties. these TWO NAVY REACH PLANES TREPASSY EXPERIENCED ACTORS IN, COMEDY CLUB. PLAY RICHARD FORSYTH AND HELEN CADY TAKE LEADING ROLES By no means lacking ing'dramatic experience, is the cast announced for the Comedy club play, "Green Stock- ings" to be presented on May 22 at the Whitney theater. Carrying the leads are Richard A. Forsyth, '20, in the role of Colonel Smith, and Helen G. Cady, '20, who will appear as Cecilia Faraday. The former will be remembered for the character interpretations given in "The Tragedy of Nan," "The Silver Box," under the auspices of the Ora- torical association, and in last year's Comedy club play, "Miss Hobbs." The leading part in the Junior Girls' play, "Gold," was credited to the latter this year. Union Opera Stars In the supporting cast will be seen Elizabeth Oakes, '20, whose work in the Classical club plays of the last two years will be recalled by many; Gilbert R. Byrne, '19, the George Jes- sep in "Miss Hobbs," and a member of last year's Union opera, "Let's Go!" and Mabel Bannister, '19 ,who played the part of the Unknown Lady in "The Silver Box." Elwyn G. Davies, '21, the gruff, kind hearted father in "Green Stockings," gave first proof of his ability in "Come On, Dad," in which he appeared as the irate wife, Mrs. Broadhead. Paul A. Shinkmnan, '20, playing the part of Henry Steele, was a member of the "Let's Go!" company. Remainder of Cast The remainder of the cast, including Marian Bath, '21, who previously play- ed in "Green Stockings" in Muncie, Ind.; Carrie C. Smith, '21; Joseph A. Avery, '21; Frank Andrus, '21, and Edgar L. Rice, '20, are of unproved talent. Talks and Pep Speeches Will Prepare Fresh and Sophomores For Interclass Games CLASSES TO CHOOSE CAPTAINS AT LARGE FOR CONTESTS Final plans for pep meetings, this week, of the freshman and sophomoi'e classes, and arrangements for the Spring games were decided upon at a meeting of the Student council spring games committee, Saturday morning at the Union.' All freshmen will meet at 7 o'clock, Wednesday night in the West Physics lecture room and the games will be explained to them. Speakers have been arranged for. Besides telling the freshmen what to do at the games it is planned to get them prepared for the coming conflicts with a number of pep speeches. Captains to be Chosen The sophomores will meet at the same time and the same place the fol- lowing night to be addressed by upper- classmen. Although the procedure of the games is already known to them there are a few new quirks that need explining. Captains will be elected from the classes at large at the meet- ings instead of proportioning them to the engineers and lits. Members of the Student council will attend the weigh-in of the tug-of-war men. Freshmen will be weighed in from 10 to 12 o'clock Wednesday morn- ing and from 4 to 6 o'clock the same afternoon in Waterian gymnasium. The sophomores will be weighed in at the same time and place Thursday. The three teams of 40 men each will be of the following weights per man: Lightweight under 135 pounds, mid- dleweight between 135 and 160, and heavyweight over 160. The same site used in former years, has been rented for this year's tug- of-war. The contesting teams will be arranged in the same manner as usual. All men entered in this contest will have to wear tennis shoes. Tug-of-War, Friday The tug-of-war is scheduled for 4 o'clock Friday afternoon and the bag rush, cane spree, and the obstacle races for 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Carl T. Hogan, '20E, is chairman of the Spring games committee and is assisted by William W. Hinshaw, '20, and G. D. Anderson, '20; "'QUALITY STREET" SHOWS LAST TIME Ann Arbor was given a third oppor- tunity to enjoy the quaint atmosphere of old England at the time of the Napolenoic wars, when "Quality Street" was again presented by re- quest yesterday afternoon in Sarah Caswell Angell's hall The first setting showed with what skill and detailed care J. M. Barrie's play had been worked out. It was a typical eighteenth century living room carried out in blue and gray. An old- fashioned melodeon, now so rare, stood In one corner and when the prim, dainty maidens and gallant military of- ficers entered the scene, no imagina- tion was needed to carry one back to the "good old days." Every member of the caste from Mary Overman, '19, the quaint little Miss Phoebe in curls, down to Donald Williams, the dunce of the school, for "genteel children only," formed his part in the life of "Quality Street." Winifred Parsons, '19, as Phoebe's timid maiden sister, and Mildred Rein- del, '19, the "dashing" Valentine Brown were well adapted to their roles. These three leading members of the caste were supported by others who displayed professional ability in their minor roles.

A H G ARTHUR G. HALL, (By Associated Press) Washington, May 10.-Arrival at Trepassy Bay, Newfoundland, of two qf the three American navy sea- planes which started from Rockaway, New York, on the transatlantic flight insures the success of the whole enter- prise, naval officers here believe. When the report reached the navy depart- ment tonight that the second of the planes, the NC-3, had reached Tre- passy Bay in today's flight from Hali- fax after it had been forced to turn back because of a broken propeller, officers were unable to conceal their deep satisfaction. While detailed reports from Com- mander John H. Towers, commanding the seaplane division on the flight of the NC-1 and the NC-3 from Rockaway to Trepassy Bay probably will not be received for a day or so, it is be- lieved he would have communicated promptly had he encountered any se- rious difficulty either with his ma- chines or with the arrangements for guiding the flight by radio-compass signals.
