Mr. Ewald was the chief speaker off
the evening. In his speech he said
Anerica was being regarded in a new
light by the South American rpub-
lics and that they were changing their
former allegiance in cusoms and
ideas ,from Europe to the United
States. "Before the war and for-many
years previous, the attitude of South
America toward the States. was ex-
pressed very well in the statement of
an' army officer to me when I first
went there 16 years ago. He said, 'We
consider the Monroe Doctrine as con-
strued by the United States as, The
Americas for North America.' The

Eleven-weary seekers after the rid-

and parched-throats, successfully trav-

heartening trail that leads, over the
shifting sands of the African desert
to the spot where the.great dumb idol
waits in the shadow of thb pyra-
mids.
Fortitude had its true reward and
the following juniors are now partak-
ers with the Sphinx of the knowledge

Pharoahs: C. M. Campbell, Barry

vak, Jack Dunn, Robert McKean, G.
L. Rourke, and Paul .Burkholder. J.
P. Hart, '20, who was to have become
a member of the junior literary honor
society in the spring of 1917 but could
not be initiated before entering the
service, was made a worshiper of the
graven figure without undergoing the
usual ordeals.
In spite of the ;.fact that, in the
words of the songster, theadesert of
Sahara ceased to be a "land of milk
and 'honey" when "King Ramases
passed a law 7,000 years ago that
Egypt should go dry," the neophytes
were proffered a very creditable re-
past at the Union after the initiation.
Harry Carey, '20, Carl Johnson, '20,
Bruce Millar, '20, and Fred Petty, '21,
gave short talks. Prof. Claude H. Van
Tyne, who' was on the program as a
speaker, was unable to be present be-

Roosevelt Jtay
Give Talk ,Here
Lt.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt will
speak in Ann Arbor if plans now be-
ing fostered by James G, Frey, '20,
materialize.
Frey was a delegate from a Penn-
sylvania post of the American Legion
at the Legion's first convention, held
in Minneapolis on Armistice day. At
that time he had the opportunity. of
meeting Colonel Roosevelt, and he
took it upon- himself to ask the col-
onel whether he world consider vis-
iting Ann Arbor to give a talk. Al-
though he had already refused num-
erous delegations which had ap-
proached him on the same mission,
Roosevelt said that he would be glad
to come to Ann Arbor providing a{
suitable date could be arranged.
As yet no definite time has been
agreed on, but Frey is in correspond-
ence with Colonel Roosevelt, and feels
that he will be able to arrange a sat-
isfactory date.. University authorities
will not say anything on the matter
due to the present lack of definite in-
formation, but it is understood that

there is no conflict of events, Frey

.Chicago, Nor. '26.--National lead-
erp of the four great railway brother-
hoods held a secret session today at
which the insistance of many local
unions that a general strike of all,
(railway workers in the United States
be called by Dec. 1, to enforce de-
mands for increase in pay was given
serious attentipn, according to in-
formation obtained tonight fron un-
ion railway men.
Especial Puirpose
It was said by one union official that
many of the delegates who, are now
in Cleveland went there for the spec-
ific purpose of fpreing the general
.committee to 'call a nation-wide
strike.
It became known tonight that the
Kansas City local of the brotherhood
of railway trainment had telegraph-
ed national officials of their organiza-
tion asking permission to call a strike
of trainmen and yardmen tomorrow.
It was reported that the national of-
ficers replied in such a way as to leave
the question entirely open and sub-
ject to the decision of local officials.
Nothing Definite
The union officials of Chicago, from
whom the information was obtained,
stated so far as they were aware the
secret conference in Cleveland had
not yet reached the point where re-
solutions or motions for the strike
actually had been presented but that
the discussion concerning it today,
according to -their information was,
favorable .for the project and that
the tieup would be expected within
tfree days. A similar announcement
was made today at the newly organiz-
ed' labor party here .
Plan Escape
The barrier was erected after dis-
covery that several Reds planned es-
-cape by exchanging clothes with
friends and after some visitors - had
passed revolvers to the radicals.'
In a letter to the house emigration
committee which is in New York in-
vestigating the emigration and de-
portation system they reiterated that
they would not attend deportation'
hearings held by emigration inspect-
ors and would go on a hunger strike
in addition. Three summons to the
dining room were unanswered. Drink-
ing water"and oratory had been their
only diet tonight for 24 hours.
Refuse Answer
About a half dozen voluntarily at-
tended hearings but joined in the hun-
ger strike. One attended a hearing
but refused to answer questions.
The strikers with the exception of
two young women are segregated in a
large room. All are anxious to be
deported to Soviet Russia or "go there
voluntarily.

Pargmient
To Cerci
"To go to France is considered a dif-1
ilt undertaking by most students in
merican universities," said Mr.
ichaeLPargment'in an informal ad-
ress before a meeting of the Cer-
e Francais in their rooms last
ight, "but in reality the trip is but
ttle more difficult or expensive than
ie from New York to California."
Mr. Pargment -stated that a student
ho had studied French for only two
ears would experience no difficulty
i understanding the language or mak-
g himself understood at the end of
six weeks' stay in France if he
ould make use of every available op-
ortunity to converse in French. An-
ther fact brought out in the address.
'as that in Paris, numbering half the
opulation of New York, there are
stablished exactly 140 public libra-
ies.
"So large is the Louvre, which would
ractically cover our campus," said
[r. Pargment, "and so numerous are
s art collections that if one were to
pend only a minute befgre every
ainting or sculpture, it wo ld neces-
itate the spending of. three months

Your Part In the
Solution of the
Athletic Problem
Will you permit a.repetition of the
football situation this winter? From
present indications such is likely to
happjen unless something is done.
Coach -Mather, the mentor of the
Varsity basketball squad announced
yesterday that there is a shortage of
men for the quintet squad.. "Surely
-there are more than 30 men who can
play basketball in this school," he
says, and rightfully, so. Shortage of
material was blamed for the failure'
of the football season. Will it spoil
the five man game for Michigan?
Take Coach Yost's advice. Per-
form a "real service" for your:school.
Go out for the game if you can; If
not, talk Michigan to that athlete-
in your home town when you go hpme
for Thanksgiving. Talk Michigan to
him when you go home Christmas.

Reach Partial Agreement
Cleveland, Nov. 26.-Five hundred
general'chairman- of the four princi-.
pal railroad brotherhoods in confer-
ence here to consider the offer of Di-
rector General Hines granting time
and one-half for overtime in slow
freight service and a uniform 16 hour
rule for crews h'eld away from home
terminals today voted to accept the
"away from home 'rule," but did not
reach a vote on the overtime propos-
ition, which many delegates bitterly
opposed.
From an authoritive source it was
slearned that in all probability the del-
.egates will reject the offer of time and
one-half for overtime in slow freight
service in tomoriow's meeting.
The railroad administration offer is
in response ,to the brotherhoods re-
quest for. an increase in wages of
approximately 50 per cent.
Cosmopolitan club will present a
varied program in the All-Nation en-
tertainment to be given in Hill au-
ditorium the latter part of January.
This year's entertainment, which]
will be produced under the directidn
of Mr. George Wilner, will consist
of a prologue and six short plays
written around an outline prepared
.by K. Horiuchi, '20. It is pfunned
to present the humorous side of var-
ious' phases of foreign life, in the
plays, filling in the time between the
acts with musical and novelty num-
bers.
The program follows: Prologue by
Mr. Ralph Carson, '17; "Samurai on
Duty," by J. Adams, '20; "Lifein the
Latin Quarter," by Mr. E. L. Hackes;
"A' Geogr'aphy Lesson in China," by
John Adams, '20; "His Majesty, the
King of Sahara," by Kelsey Guilfoil,
'20L; "A Mystery in London," by C.
Wilner, '21; and "Babel in Nagusaki,"
by Albert Jacobs, '21.
