Berin, May 22. - The majority so-
cialists held a demonstration of pro-
test against the peace terms in the
Wilhemsplatz today. The crowd, in
contrast with earlier meetings, re-
ceived the speeches of the leaders in
frigid silence.
Philipp Scheidmann, the chancellor,
said he hoped in the interest of hu-
manity, to attain a peace by under-
standing on the basis of the German
counter proposals.
Germans Favor Coneiliation
While the German delegates at Ver-
sailles were working for this under-
stan~ing, he added, it was the task of
the government to raise it yoice on
behalf of conciliation, not the aliena-
tion of peoples. A peace by concilia-
tion only, was possible if Germany is
inclugded as an equal in the league of
nations. The league, he declared was
a necessity, but the government was
against the spirit of its present form
which made the Germans the slaves of
other nations. He concluded by call-
ing for cheers for the league.
Present Treaty Impossible
Herr Mueller, for the Independent
Socialists, said the socialists of all
countries must regard peace as im-
possible under the present treaty.
Frau Juchacz, said that If the al-
lied peace terms were carried out
they would perpetuate a war of hun-
ger.
The Independent Socialists held a
demonstration in the Lustgarten.
Serlin, MVay 22.-The German reply
to the allied peace terms will be in
five sections; dealing with political
and territorial issues, the league of
nationi, and financial and economic
questions.

DAILY IAM19 O ARTISTS
PREPARE FOR CONTEST
Setting out to prove the superiority
of the organized press over the in-
sufficient mongrolisms of the slap-it-
on cartoon, the blank verse and ribald
humor, the athletic association of The
Michigan Daily has already begun to
muster its exponents of the national
pastime, for the annual tilt on Me-
morial day with followers of the grim-
visaged idol, the Gargoyle.
It Is rumored that certain of The
Daily team formerly wore white stock-
ings, but that is as much as could e i
learned for publication. On good au-
thority, however, it is said that a num-
ber of former big leaguers will be
found on The Daily line-up.
With its characteristic humor, the
Gargoyle claims that its chances for
victory seem unusually bright. They
probably expect to mHake the Daily

ALLIES DRIVE OUT
BOLSHEVIK FORCES
(By Associated Press)
London, May 22.-The allied troops
on the north Russian front have car-
ried on a successful turning move-
ent against the main Bolshevik po-
sition, forcing the enemy to retire
southward, according to a north Rus-
sian official communication received
here this evening. Several towns were
captured, many prisoners taken, and
the enemy suffered heavy casualties.
The communication states that the
urning novement was carried out May
20, north of Medvyejyagora, six miles
outh of Lumbushki on the railway and
that the enemy was expelled from his
position and is now in full retreat. The
towns of Lumbushki, Ostreche and Ko-
lobari were taken.
London, May 22.-A Bolshevik wire-
less message from Petrograd today
denied reports that Riga and Dvinsk
had been captured by other Bolshevik
forces. The Lettish information bu-
reau in Copenhagen announced today
that Riga had been occupied by Let-
tish troops. Nothing was aid of
Dvinsk, which is on the Lettish front.

Prof. Iwuis A. Strauss Furthers Talk
in Report to University Senate
Commtee
'RECOMMENDS SELECTION OF
MAN WHO WILL BE RESPECTED
The Senate committee on stude
affairs, in regard to its proposed Unf-
versity policy for the creation of an
oce It Dean of Men which is now be-
fore the University Senate, has enlarg-
ed upon the original discussion of the
proposition that was offered to the
Senate council. In addition to what
was published in a recent issue of The
Daily, Prof. Louis A. Strauss, chair-
man of the committee and speaking
for it, furthers the discussion of the
question.
Excerpts Given
Several excerpts taken from this
development of the matter are here-
with given:
"There is but one important point
that the committee would wish to im-
press upon the University Senate with
regard to its idea of the type of man
who should be chosen to fill this po-
sition if created. Primarily this ofil-
cer's duties would begin with the
functions now inadequately fulfilled by
the chairman of this committee. How
far his efforts would extend in the di-
rection of personal contact with the
individual students, his private life,
his part in college activities, his schol-
arship itself, no one can, at present.
say. But I venture to predict that,
however we may seek to emphasize the
social bearing of his work, a very few
years will serve to convince the
academic deans that this officer is
their most valuable ally in the creation
of better ideals of schlorship.
Two Kinds of Interest
"For do you not see that regulation
of student organization and incitement
to better scholarship are one and the
same thing? Student interests, aside
from their studies, are theoretically of
only two kinds: those that are detri-
mental to scholarship and those that
are beneficently supplementary to it.
I categorically deny the existence of
the first kind.
"Even dancing of the right sort and
in the right amount is good, not bad.
No one can say there are too many
dance, but it is easy to prove that
this boy and that girl attend far too
many. Here is the evil, and it is en-
tirely personal, not corporate in na-
ture. It is so with all other student
activities: no member of the faculty'
denies the value of the Oratorical as-
sociation, the Classical or Biological'
club, the various dramatic and musi-
cal societies; yet each and all of
these interests may work harm to the
individual student who devotes him-+
self to them to the' neglect of his
studies.
Argument Sound
"The argument that the editor of
the Michiganensian or .he winner of
the oratorical contest is getting more
solid good out of his experience than

Unique Plot of "Green Stockings"
Holds Interest of Appreciative
Audience
FICTITIOUS CHARACTER ADDS
SPICE TO FARCIAL SITUATION
(By Milton Marx)
If you should happen to be the eldest
daughter in a family of marriageable
girls, and your younger sisters seem-
ed, to be more attractive than you, and
received all the attentions of the eligi-
ble young men in the community, and
you were very lonesome for company,
and didn't know what to do to become
popular, you might invent a fictitious
lover, place him in some far off coun-
'try, and engage yourself to him.
That this will prove-successful be-
yond all expectation was shown last
night at the Whitney teather, when the
Comedy club presented A. E. W. Ma-
son's comedy, "Green Stockings," to a
large and appreciative audience.
Plot Is Farcial
Celia Faraday is in the predicament
stated above, and to make the mem-
bers of her family take notice of her,
she engages herself to "Colonel Smith,"
who has just left for parts almost
unknown. For eight months she has
a most delightful time, and then she
decides to kill him, which she does to
the horror and pity of the family, and
the intense amusement of herself and
an aunt who is in the conspiracy.
But the fictitious lover appears in
the flesh, and many are the compli-
cations that result. But all ends hap-
pily, as it should in a comedy, and
Celia decides that after all a man who
has been waiting for 20 years for the
right girl to come along ought not
wait any longer.
Helen Cady, '20, Stars
Helen Cady, '20, as Celia Faraday,
easily deserves first mention. First as
the plain, unattractive "spinster" who
must wear the green stockings for the
third time, then as the attractive fi-
ancee of the absent "Wobbles," and
lastly as the embarrassed woman,
face to face with the result of her
foolish joke, she is delightful through-
out. She appears perfectly at home
on the stage, and her naturalness is
one of the treats of the evening.
Robert Tarver, who is running for.
Parliament, and must have everybody's
help in order to win his seat, is the
comic character of the piece, and Gil-
bert Byrne, '19, makes the most of the
part.
Three Sisters Allring
The three sisters who cause all the
trouble by being more attractive than
Celia (at first) are most alluringly
portrayed by Mabel Bannister, '19,
Marion Bath, '21, and Carrie Smith,
'21. Elizabeth Oakes, '20, is Aunt Ida,
who has the audience in an uproar
when she takes a bit too much brandy.
Richard Forsyth, '20, is the hero, the
fictitious "Wobbles" who appears so
unexpectedly on the scene. He is as
stately and gentlemanly as we would
expect of such an army officer. His
scenes with the "trinkets" of the late
departed colonel are excellent.
Every Role Well Taken
The minor characters must not be
neglected, but to name all worthy of
mention would be just to repeat the
cast. Every role was well taken, and
the campus has- shown once more that
it can stage a regular play in a reg-

G. P. SCHAFER ELECTED
RECORDING SECRETARY
Careful Planning of Committee Gives
Every One Opportunity
to Vote
With a total of almost 2,000 votes
cast, yesterday's election is considered
to be the best and most complete that
has been held on the campus in many
years. Careful planning of the com-
mittee,, headed by S. S. Slavens, '21L,
resulted in the booths bing placed
where every student had an opportu-
nity to vote. Promptly at 5 o'clock
the polls were closed and the ballot
boxes taken to the Press building,
where Student councilmen counted
the votes.
Hogan Union President
Carl T. Hogan, '20E, won in the close
race for the presidency of the Union
and G. P. Schafer, '20A, was elected
recording secretary. Rollin Winslow,
'20L, came out ahead for law vice-
president; Clayton S. Shoemaker, '20E,
engineering; Harold Makinson, '21M,
medic; William W. Hinshaw, '20, lit-
erary, and C. J. Clemo, '20D, combined
departments. Prof. Henry C. Adams,
lit; Dean Henry M. Bates, law; and
Prof. John C. Parker, engineering,
were elected faculty members for the
board of directors of the Union.
Student Counelmen Chosen
The following men were elected Stu-
dent councilmen from the various
classes David Nash, junior lits; Law-
rence Butler, sophomore lits; E. J.
Blackert, junior laws; Jos. A. Kerwin,
junior medics; F. 3. Helbig, pharmics;
G. H. Benjamin, junior architects.
Voting for the officers of the Ora-
torical association resulted as fol-
lows: president, Carl G. Brandt; vice-
president, Florabel Ellis; secretary,
Olive Smith; treasurer, James K. Pol-
lock; delegates at large, Jane Bart-
land, Earl Boxell, Earl Dunn, Leland
Gault, Kelsey Guilfoil, Earl Miles,

TALKS TO ENINEE8111RS
President Harry B. Hutchins ad-
dressed the meeting of the senior en-
gineers this morning speaking of the
engineer and his profession. His talk
was to the effect that the engineer
must have a comprehensive working
knowledge of the English language if
he desires to make a success of his
profession, for he must be a broad-
man.
Both the president and vice-presi-
dent of the class were unable to at-
tend the meeting. An urgent plea was
'made for the payment of all class
dues.
At the sophomore engineering class
meeting Dean Mortimer E. Cooley was
the speaker. In an inspiring talk he
warned the men that the need for
learning to think for one's self, in-
stead of letting others think for one,
was greater today than ever before.
"It is this way," he said, "that the
wave of Bolshevism sweeping over not
only the campus but the entire coun-
try, can be checked."
Plans for Cap night were discussed
and completed at the meeting. A com-
mittee was appointed to request the
faculty to allow the class to hold more
frequent meetings next year. It was
announced that soph engineers would
play the fresh laws for the inter-class
baseball championship in the near fu-
ture.
Dean Cooley also addressed the ju-
nior engineering class. These are the
three last regular class meetings of
the year.
