The so-called Lodge reservations are of such form and na- ture that they virtually have the ef- fect of textural amendments while the so-called Hitchcock reservations are merely interpretive in character, stat- ing to the world how the United States understands the treaty, but not changing the treaty in content or meaning. The Hitchcock reservation states plainly inf accordance with the evident meaning of the article, that thie advice which the council of the league of na- tions is authorized to give in article 10 is to be considered as' nothing more than advie; which the congress of the United States may accept - or reject with perfect freedoip, and that the United States could not be in- volved in a war under advice of the league unless the congress of the United States then in being should adopt a declaration of war. The United States and all other signatory powers jointly promise that. they will permit no aggression* against one another's territories, and that if any one of them is threatened by territorial aggression the entire league will come to help in some manngr, of the nation thus threat- ened. ? But in the light of our own res- ervation the ways and means that each{ nation is to employ in preserving the "integrity and independence" is left to each individual nation to 'determine. The only function of the council will be to advise each nation as -to what ways and means it will be best. to use.- PROF. TURNER FAVORS LEAGUE 'AS FIRST STEP TOWARD END OF WAR Following Saturday morning's re- view by'Prof. Henry C. Adams of the much discussed Shantung provision, The Daily prints in this column a second article of information for stu- dents and faculty who intend to -vote intelligently on the treaty referen- dum Tuesday. In it,' Prof Edward R. Turner of the history department ex- plains hii view of the Le gue of Na- tions;, without doubt the greatest storm center of treaty opposition. Commenting on the campaign of preparatory information to date, Fred J. Petty, '21, chairman of the Student council committee on the ballot, said Saturday: "Information given to those who attended the meeting last Friday evening may clear up many points which might have been misun- derstood. The discussion was clearly and concisely stated, in such a' way that each one amight weigh the advan- tages to be gained or lost by each proposition. Open formus may be held at the Union any time that is conven- lent, before the election, and those wishing to take part in such discus- sions should leave word with Mr. Hur- ley, at the Union. Wants Representative Vote "The committee hopes the vote tak- en next Tuesday will be a truly rep- resentative one, of both the student and faculty bodies; for the results will be combined with those received from other colleges and universities in the country, and given immediate public-+ ity." Professor Turner's statement in fav- or of the League of Nations follows: "I am heart and- soul for the plan to make a league of nations.

I Hillsdale 22 to 18 last night. The ne Michigan defense 'was in a large" easure responsible for the victory. "Whitie" Wilson, the stocky little card, was the individual star for the, olverines. His guarding of the fast ill dale forwards was little short of arvelous. Rae, Dunne, and Hender- n did .the bulk of the offensive work, hile Weiss was responsible for two ectacular goals in the last two min- es of play, Ely Star of Visitors Ely was the star of the visiting ag- egation. His play was uniformly >od and his ability from the foul line oved a great aid to his team.

"Persons commonly believe that t entire northern part of the' world continually covered with snow,, a they have just right to think so f It is the common story told in m all of the books of the north," IV Stefansson continued, "but the nort ern coast of Canada has its seaso: the same as Michigan. In fact, 0 temperature has been known to rea 90 degrees. There are iany winte n .Iceland when the thermometer ne er goes below zero." North Pole Not Coldest Place Another point brought out by 1 stefansson was that the north pole neither the coldest nor the most i accessible place in the Arctic rego Its temperature does not go as low other places because it is situated water, which tends to a more tet perate climate than land and becau; of its low altitude. Mr. Stefansson made his Arctic tr on principles that were fundamental different from any other successful e: plorer's ideas, the principdl diftreni being the question of diet. All othe trips have been made only on pros sions that were brought on the tri This necessitated many extra me dogs, and sleighs, besides the tin needed in looking out, for them. Stefansson's pr~visions were secu ed from the seal and bear meat th he found throughout the Arctic cou try. Shows Slides Towards the end of his' lecture M Stefansson showed slides which gai an eye impression to the audience< various detils of his trip. One of thei was the method employed in buildht a snow house, which took four me 45 minutes to build. Another Wir shown was the method used inctel ing seals. The speaker of the evening was i troduced by Prof. William Hobbs o the geology department. Previous I this the appearanbce here next Satu day evening of ex-President Wllia H. Taft was announced. BASKETBALL TICKETS. AWAIT DISTRIBUTNI v Qf mp- 3pr.- The game'started with a rush, Grime making the first counter with a long' shot from the middle of the floor. The play continued fast and furious. throughout the first half. The feature of the game came when Dunne, rush- ing down the floor, received the ball and shot a difficult basket just as he crossed the end line of the court. The second half started with Mich- igan in the lead by a 10 to 9 count. The visitors soon. forged ahead, how- ever, with baskets by Taylor and Ely. Then Michigan took a brace, long goals by Rychener aad Weiss evening mat- ters up. lea also scored a difficult one froi the sideline, putting Mich- igan 'in the lead. Rea made a foul shot as the whistle blew. ' Michigan asss Well Besides the goad defensive work, Michigan showed somQ excellent pass- ing. The visitors were also strong in this- department, although they were unable to get close to the Michigan basket. Henderson was having,..hard luck ou his 'shots. Time after time W111 missed difficult ones by the nar- rowest margins. The fight exhibited by both teams made the contest exbiting from start to fnish. Wilson defended the Mich- igan goal spiritedly and repeatedly tok the ball away from the opposing. forwards and passed it out of danger, Hillsdale made no substitutions throughout the contest, while Mich- igan made but three. In the second half Weiss went in for Rychener', Mason for Henderson, and Peare for Mason. The temporary bleaehers were crowded to their capacity. Between halves Carl Mason led the crowd in cheers.

Green smilax fiom southern Georgia, and Spanish moss, interspers- ed with many colored flo'ers, will be used to canopy the entire gymnasium. According to present plans, the booths, which will surround the etdre fo or, will be separated by birch bark trees ?u t here from the irxn Moun- tin region of northern Michigan. The trees were cut during vacation by F. S. Kingsford, '21. The programs, which are to be of grey -leather lined with blue silk, will be furnished by the Charles H. Elliott company of Philadelphia. The covers are to be made in such a form that it will be possible for the girls to use them as picture frames after the Hop, while those for the men are to have the form of card cases&, There are to be two orchestras but as yet only one has been secured. It is reported to be one of the best in this part of the country, the Ponchar- train orchestra of Detroit, and will be composed of two pianos, one violin, twq bauans, seven saxaphpnes, and trap. As the dancer who was presented last year caused considerable criti- cism the committee has obtained four saxaphonists to perform during the intermission. A quartet will also ren- der several songs at this time. May 1-Chicago at Ann Arborw May 7-Purdue at Ann Arbor. May 8-Wisconsin at Ann Arbor. May 12-M. A. C. at Ann Arbor.
