GEORGE HURLEY ASKS STUDENTS
TO AID IN STOPPING
CRIMES .
Property, valued at more than $150,
has been stolen from various places
in the Union during the past 10 days.
The list of stolen goodp includes two
suit cases, two overcoats, and two or
three caps and hats. The thieves
have become so bold that George
Hurley, general secretary, had his
cap taken from a chair in his. office,
when he stepped out for a few mii-.
utes, and one of the suit cases was
stolen when the clerk's back was
turned.
Huse Detective Consklered.
Union officials are beccming alarpaed
at the extent of the thefts a have
even considered engagig v house de-
tective to stop the losse:. Several

"MUNICIPAL BON IJ
BEST INESTMENT"
"Municipal I :xls" was te subect
of Dallas Boudeman s lecture on in-
vestments Tuesday afternoon. In dis-
cussing the subject Mr. Boudeman
stated that he thought that this type
'of bond was the best for investment
purposes because it was safe, profit-
able, and demanded practically no
care.
Cites State Issue
To illustrate the way these bonds
are handled, he cited the $50;000,0WQ
highway bond issue in this state. The
voters of the state voted in favor of
this bond last spring. Recently
$2,000,000 of the issue was put on the
market and a Detroit bank bought
$1,500,000 of it. The bank will sell
these bonds at a slight increase to
people who wish to buy them foi in-
vestments. The state will also sell
the remaining $500,000 of this block
to the citizens in smaller amounts.
"Know that Znunicipal bonds are
authoized by the legislature," said
Mr. Boudeman, in explaining the way
°o tell whether a bond issue is good
or not. "Then ascertain- whether the,
issue was properly voted, that is
whether the election was given the
,;roper amount of advertising.
"Reliable bonding houses always
have a capable attorney to investigate

STUDENT COUNCIL TO DECIDE
1MP4ORTANT MATTERS TONIGHT
Friday night's pep meeting, the
:hoosing. of an official cheer-leader,
nd plans for the meeting of all class
fficers are among the matters of im-
oortance that will come up before the
Student council at its meeting at 7:15
o'clock Wednesday night att the Union.
Michigan's official cheer-leader, who
will be picked at the Student council
meeting Wednesday night, a live lot
of speakers and the Varsity band will
combine in making Friday night's pep
meeting in Hill auditorium, in favor
of which the Wednesday afternoon
open-air mass meeting was cancelled,
a success.
Speaking of the meeting, Carl E.
Johnson, '20, president of the Student
council, said, "This meeting, coming
just before the O. S. U. game as it
does, is of the utmost importance and
with this fact in view a short but
snappy program is being arranged
which should send the student body to
the game keyed to the top-notch with
spirit."
While David D. Nash, '20, chairman.
of the committee on arrangements has
not definitely picked the speakers for
OFFICIAL CHE-EAELIVE SPEAKERS, AND
VARISITY BAND ASSURE PEP- MEETING SUCCESS
the evening, his ten' ative list includes
men who have in the past proved suc-
cessful in instilling lfe into mass
meetings.
The first official appea:'ance of Mich-
igan's yell-master with his staff of as-
sistants will be one of the features'of
the evening. With this added incentive
it is expected thAt spirit both at the
meeting and at the game will reach a'
point higher than it has been able to
during the time that the student body
has een without an officially recog-
nized. cheer-leader.,
The full significance of the import-
ance of this neeting can be gained
through realizing what this game
means to Ohio State, whey' the campus
has beer completely postered with
signs reading, "Beat Michigan." It is
expected that Ohio will bring a full
band and some 2,000,students to Ann
Arbor for the game.

SHOW DOWN LOOMS

Reservations to Be Sent Before For-

MUST VOTE AGAINST TREATY
TO KILL PROPUSALS, DECLARED
(By Assocaited Press)
Washington, Oct. 21.-The question
of accepting peace treaty reservations
was earnestly considered by Demo-
cratic senate leaders under the press-
ure of developments pointing to an
early show down and a ratification
fight.
The treaty prpvision forces opposi-
tion announcing at last an agreement
on a reservation program by the sen-
ate majority brought the situation to
an unexpected issue, serving notice
that their proposal would go before
the foreign relations co inittee to--
morrow when the administration
would be asked to go on record as
accepting or rejecting it.
Program Pcsented
The reservation program as it is to
be presented was not made public but.
it was understood to embrace nine res-
ervations evolved from suggestions
gathered from many sources. The ufb-
jects .are said to have covered the fol-
lowing: The right of this cauntry to
judge whether its obligations had been
fulfilled in case of withdrawal from
the league; unimpared power of con-
gress to decide questions of peace or
war under article 10; domestic decis-
ion of all domestic questions; Mogroe
doctrihe; refusal to be a party to the
Shantung settlemgnt; setting equal
voting power ip league; congresional
selection of American representatives
at league; limitiation of powers of
such representatives to international
commission and right of international
labor conferences to challenge the
elgibility of American representatives
on international commissions.
Only One Chance of Defeat
Behind the proposal, it is declared
by their sponsors, will stand all of'
the 49 Republicans and at least six
Democrats leaving as a -maximum 41
Democrats opposing them. The ad-
ministration was told their only hope,

Original Plan to hold Dedication at

Abandoned
HOPE TO MAKE DECISION AT -
ANNUAL LUNCHEON NOV. 2
Selection of the type and cost of a
memorial to be dedicated by the "M"
club to winners of the "M' who died
in the war will be postponed because
of the wide divergence of opinion' on
the matter, until a re-union meeting
of the organization is held here at the
time of the Minnesota game.
Letters Sent Each Member,
"At first it was intended to solicit
the opinion of the club by circular
postal cards, but too many different
memorials were mentioned by the
members. Letters have now been sent
out to every member of the club, ask-
ing him to be present at the re-
union to be held Nov. 22.
As more than 100 men are expect-
ed to 'attend the luncheon, which is
an instituted custom at the big game
of tdie year, it isthought that a. repre-
sentative memorial can' be chosen
then. Originally it was the idea to
dedicate the memorial at the Minne-
sota game, but it will now have to be
postponed until a later date.
Bronze Tablet Favored
The greatest number of men favored
a bronze tablet, to be placed in the
Ferry field club house. Such things
as an arch. entrance or an athletic
scholarship fund were also suggest-
ed. More than 400 men belong to the
"M", club, membership in which is
limited to those who have won a letter
in athletics.

National Canpaign Started
A national 'campaign for $1,000,000
has been started by the women of the
country to purchase the birthplace of
Theodore Roosevelt at 26 West 20th
street, New York.
The house' in which our ex-pre i
dent was born has been demolished
but the house next to it is an exact
reproduction. The plan is to buy the
property of both and build on the
spot where the original stood an ex-;
act replica. In this house will be all
the family portraits which are avail-
able, the original furnishings copied
exactly, all the books *hich Colonel
Roosevelt wrote, and a cotuplete 11-
brary, of tle books on thei subject in
which he "'as interested, This collec-
tion will be open to the public as a
free circulating library and slipport-
ed by the fund which will soon bea
raised.
Will Be Used as Hall
The copy of the Roosevelt house1
will be used as a hall in which lec-
tures may be given on the subjects in
Which.,Roosevelt was interested and
for the promotion of his ideals,. Amer-
icanism and education. Classes f9r
foreigners to teach them Americ n
ideals will be held here also.
This campaign is entirely separate
from the one which is being conducted
for $5,000,000, to be used in the pur-l
chase' of the family home at Oyster
Bay, the building of a memorial and
the establishing of a memorial fund
for better education, about which
there will gpon be an article.
Mrs. Leonard Woo is the honorary
'president of the organization which
