Washington, May 17. -- Desir6'"to
Prussianize the navy department" wa
ascribed by Secretary Daniels today
as one of Rear Admiral Sims' under
lying motives in criticising the de
partment's conduct of the war. Th
secretary, testifying before the Senat
Investigating committee, also charge
that most of the testimony supporting
Admiral Sims' position was from offi
cers who wished to remove civilian
control of the navy department and
make the secretary a "rubber stamp.
Charge Shows Hostility
"The original charge showed hostil
ity to certain officers and a desire t
damage the ranking officers who di
rected th'e operations during the war,
aid Mr. Daniels. "And the evidenc
has disclosed a desire to misrepreset
the secretary of the navy because hE
was not a rubber stamp secretary.
"But deeper than egotism and preju"
dice you will find a deep seated deter
mination to organize the navy depAri
ment upon the approved Prussian plat
of giving all power to the militar
and taking all away from the clvi
lian."

Glenn k. Plumb, whose plan for the
solution of the railroad question has
been adoptet by the American federal
tion of labor, spoke to a capacity audi-
ence in the Natural Sciegce auditorium
last evening. His address -emphasiz-
ed the principles underlying his plan
rather thanthe details of its applica-
tion.
Mr. Plumb presented his plan, which
he says, "is not a remedy, but a diag-
nosis. of the disease condition of ~our
railroads," in an earnest appeal to the
men whom he believed will direct the
country in the coming generation. -
the college students: His plan is found-
ed on the belief that the railroads
came into being through the need of
the public, the capit~ists who under-
took to fill this need, and the labor
which produced theme His plan is an
attempt to give these three equal rep-
resentation and shares in the profits.
Members of the faculty of the eco-
nomics and sociology departments en-
tertained Mr. Plumb at a dinner at
the Union before tpe address. Many
of his hearers remained after the lec-

tance a result of five Conference victories,
com- the ,Michigan nine will return homel
rmin- to face Ohio State Wednesday in one
with of the crucial games of the season,
how- the Bucleye school boasting a strong
rt of aggregation. The calling off of the
re- Iowa game gives the Wolverines only
r and one chance to win over the Hawkeyes,
ike a and this opportunity comes Saturday
;ation with a. contest on Ferry field.
Victory over Iowa at this time will
g the eliminate Iowa from Conference run-
nmis- ning, and leave only Illinois as a se-
local rious obstacle in the Wolverines' way.
rough Whom Lundgren will start in the

can ler will also be ready for a turn in

, and HURLEY ASKED TO
r the SPEAK AT PURDUE
stat-
talk
George Hurley, '18L, general secre-
tary of the Michigan Union, has re-
ceived ,an invitation to be the prine-
pal speaker at the convocation exer-
cises to be held at Purdue univfrsity
Thursday. It was asked that he stress
_ the importance of eampus activitis in
his address, and bring to the tudents
of Purdue some idea of the wly these
activities are carried on at the Uni-
versity of Michigan.
- It is as yet uncertain' as to whether
. or not it will be possible for him to
accept, on account of previous busi-
ness engagements.
Blanket presentation ceremonies,
scheduled. for this coming Saturday,
have been cancelled because of th in-
ability of the committee in charge to
secure'blankets jf the right size and
high quality' desi d.
The plan as authorized by the board
in control of athletics included the
presentation of a blanket to every
graduating athlete who had won two
or more "M's" while in school. The
blankets were to bear an "M" for every
form , of athletics in which the man
Id won an "'M" and also a star under'
these "M's" for each one receivgd in
-that spdrt
-Traditional Ceremony
The Student council had planned to
present these blankets from the steps
e ;the Liblary with fitting ceremo-
nies and to make the presentation of
blankets a traditional ceremony. .
Athletic Board's Decision
. The athletic board has tried through-
out the country to secure blankets of
the necessary quality, but, upon dis-
covering that none better than . army
blankets could be obtained, decided
that it would be better to wait until
-the right kind ofjblankets were avail-
able. In case they can be secured
this summer, they will be sent to the
min who are to receive them.-
Reports from other schools, which
follow this custom, show that they
have experienced the same difficulty in
obtaining blankets.
Welsh Choristers
Receive Applause
(L. H.)
'Large appreciative audiences, in-
sistent applause for encores, artists
whose talent and ability have won for
them fame in their own country and
in America - these facts attest to the
successful concerts of the Famous
Mountain Ash Welsh Choir, which ap-
peared at the Congregational church
Sunday afternoon, and again at the
Presbyterian church that evening.
The soloists of the choir were es-
pecially well received. John Williams,
second bass, scored a decided success
with his remarkable interpretation,
his best offering being "I Fear No
Foe." D. Penj.r Williams, basso; sing-
ing "The Trumpeter," was well ap-
plauded, as were also M. J. Edwards,
tenor, who has been awarded 300 priz-
es for his meritorous work, and'Ben
Davies, noted Welsh elocutionist.
Prof. T. Glyndwr Richards deserves
special mention-for his able leadership
of the concert.' The solo offerings as
well as accompaniment of Prof. 'W.
Evans, pianist, also are to be com-
mended.
