Premiers
EXPECT MESSAGE WILL BE -
CABLED SATURDAY NIGHT
Washington, Feb. 19.- 'President
Wilson today prepared and sent to the
state department a reply to the , en-
tente premiers' note on the Adriatic
question. He was understood to have
re-stated the position of the American
government with a degree of finality.
Although the president dictated his
communication in less than two
hours, it. probably will not be put on
the cables before tomorrow night or
Saturday. An impression first went
out that it might be transmitted to-
night.
Dr. Burton Wants To Know Student
Body And ichigan Traditions
Pleased at Michigan's One Point Win
Over Minnesota; Interested in
Athletic Situation
(By Joseph A. Bernstein)
Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, president-
elect of the University of Michigan, is
visiting in Ann Arbor.
A Regents' meeting scheduled for
this morning, various social functions
last right, and a speech before the
Detroit Alumni association tomorrow,
night make up the program for the
new Michigan executive's visit to the
University, yet he had time to send a
message to the students of the Uni-
versity.
Interested in Students
"You know," he told reporters who
succeeded in gaining a few minutes
with him, "I want to get just as close
to the student body as I possibly can.
I want' to think I am one of the Uni-
versity like any student here, and I
want to know all about the student
affairs. They interest me."
GTERNENTCONTROL B
SOCIALISTS PREDICTED
Dr. Burton was at Martha Cook dor-
roitory at the time, visiting with his
daughter, Theodosia Burton, 122. He
did not keep the reporters waiting,
bud came into the reception room to
meet them. Descriptions -carried by
newspapers of the coming head of the
University of Michigan hardly do Yiim
justice. His personality is felt the
minnte he comes into sight, for the
strong smile that greets the person
who meets him can create only ad-
miration.
"You understand that I can say but
very little in my present situation,"
he said. "I know you are anxious to
get from me opinions on your affairs
here, but it is hard for me to give
them while I am still outside the Uni-
versity.
Studying History
"My job at the University of M-]
nesota allows me but little time to
learn as much as I would like to about
Michigan. In fact, I have been try-
ing to read the history of the Univer-
sity, but I have made but little prog-
ress because of the heavy work there.
I will get through it before the end of
the semester though," he said with de-1
termination.
Although it is but a littlething, it
was with surprise that- the reporters

in here tonight the platform upon
itch he believes the party should go

g of his proposals were:
Decentralization of the executive

ign in the civilized world."
Approves Amendments
Ratification of the peace treaty with

With ni new cases of influenza re-
ported and no resulting deaths re-
corded, conditions have become so
favorable that President Harry B.
Hutchins today deemed it safe to is-
sue a notice stating that the ban on
University dances would be lifted be-
ginning Monday, Feb. 23. .
Adheres to Position
The president is understood to have
adhered to the position taken in his
note of Feb. 10, in which he informed
the Allies that if they were to proceed
in a settlement of the Adriatic ques-
tion without active participation of
the American government, a situation
might be created where the United
States might have to consider wheth-
er it could become a party to the
treaty of Versailles and the Franco-
American pact.
Meets Arguments
While conciliatory,. the premiers,'
reply to this original note was argu-
mentative. Mr. Wilson in. lis anr2wer
is understood to have met this argu-.
ment point by point and is believed
to have again called attention to the
principle of self-determination as
enunciated"in his 14 points and his
other declarations during the war
which were adopted by the central
powers as the basis of peace.

HILQUIT SAYS RADICALS WILL
COME INTO POWER
PEACEFULLY
Albany, N. Y., Feb. 19.-Morris Hil-
quit, Socialist leader, today predicted
that control of the United States gov-
ernment would pass peacefully into
the hands .of the Socialist party when
it enrolled the working class. He is-
sued a warning, bowever, that "it is
not impossible that the people of thisN
country will be compelled to supple-
ment their political action with a lit-
tle shogting, If' the profiteering class
revolts after the majority of the peo-)
ple are ready to endure "substantial
reforms" by "legal, constitutional
methods."
Testifying before the assembly ju-
diciary committee at the investigation
of the five suspended Socialists, as-
semblymen charged with disloyalty,
Mr. Hilquit stated that the Socialist
party intends to promote its program
by no other than "legislative action,
parliamentary action, and in a peace-
ful way..:
Mr. Hilquit made his "prophesy"
towards the close of his grilling cross-
examination by Martin Conboy, a com-
mittee counsel, who quoted Mr. Al
Berger as saying Socialists and work-
ers must be "prepared to back up
their ballots with their bullets."
REGISTRAR MAILED OUT ALL
LITERARY GRADES YESTERDAY
heard Dr. Burton use the word "Job"
in speaking of his office with the Uni-
versity-of Minnesota.'It characterizes,
however, the democracy of the man.
"It gave me pleasure the other
night when I read that your team beat
Minnesota by Just one point,"- he
laughed when he thought of it. "They
both seem to be pretty far down in
the Conference standing, but I was
really glad to see Michigan Win--
and by Just one point."
Dr. Burton is interested in the ath-
letic situation and was anxious to
learn of the eligibilty rules for var-
sity athletes. He, however, reserved
any cominent upon the present situ-
ation, pleading for an opportunity to
learn conditions thoroughly.
Magnetic Personality
Dr. Burton is as tall as reports have,
declared and is of the athletic type.
His grip is firm and when he clasps
one's hand and asks his name, one
feels thatdhe is really glad to meet
him. His biography, repeated before
in The Daily, is none too thorough,
for his personality is a ma netic one
and one that cannot be described in
mere words.
"I am going to make it a point to
learn this University from the in-
side," he said. "For a little while aft-

"More important than all," Mr. Root
aid, "is the necessity that we shall

ons upon official power, and put an

believed that the influenza epidemic
was at an end. *
Prompt and efficient care .on the
part of University and city health
authorities has prevented the disas-

though many people died of the dis-.
ease, a comparison with last year's
toll shows extremely gratifying re-
sults.
Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health of,-
ficer, reports that no new cases have
been reported in Ann Arbor for the
last three days, and no new cases are
reported in the hospitals.
AMBASSADOR SHARP, '81L, IS
HONORED BY OHIO ALUMNI
Miss Marcia F. Wood, instructor of
occupational therapy at Newberry
House in Detroit, addressed the vo-
cational conference held Thursday aft-
ernoon in Barbour gymnasium.
Miss Wood explained the meaning of
occupational therapy as curing
through occupation, and summed up
tote aims of the work" under three
heads , "Occupation of the sick during
convalescence, the curing of a disa-
bility through occupation, and the vo-
cational training and guidance of
those disabled by sickness or acci-
dent."
Miss Wood stated that almost every
hospital or institution now employs
one or more workers, so that women
taking the courses to be offered next
rummer at Newberry House in Detroit.
may be sure of securing positions.
"It is neither an' occupation for
nurses nor for doctors," said Miss
Wood, "but it is a new and highly
specialized social work."

RICKY MOUNTAIN CLUB PLANS
TO GIVE BANQUET AND DANCES
McANDREW SAYS IT WOULD BET.
TER-ATHLETIC CONDI-
TIONS
That athletic conditions at Michigan
would be more promising were there
a greater participation in health-
full sport by students, was the de-
claration of William McAndrew, asso-
ciate superintendent of schools -in
New York City, who spoke to the Un-
iversity of Michigan club in Detroit:
Wednesday.:,
Wants More Athletics
"The salvation of athletics at the
University of Michigan as elsewheri,
is more athletics," said Mr. McAn-
drew. "By this I 'mean the greater
participation of the full membership
of the University in healthful sport.
I never regretted anything so much
as the fact that I was given no ath-
letic training at Michigan when I was
there 30 odd years ago."
Referring to the teaching profession
Mr. McAndrew stated that because of
the low opinion of the profession held
by the community, our school sys-
tems are facing a serious crisis.
Should Consult Teachers
"On great public question's," he
said, "the opinions of lawyers, doct-
ors, and business men weres freely
consulted, but no teachers were ever
called into consultation, despite the
fact that they are supposed to be, pri-
marily, men and women of brains.
"This is due,.largely, to the fact that'
a living wage, is no longer paid to
the men and women engaged in the
profession,' and in this country, at
least, the whole subject of education
has reached a serious crisis," he con-
cluded.
Crane Advocates
Nelv Amendmen
Prof. Robert T. Crane of the pol
ical science department yesterd
termed as "very desirable" the propo
ed constitutional amendment requi
ing the determination of the supren
court of a president's fitness to di
caurge his .duties in case of illnes
Two bills have already been intr
duced in the house with this inte
in view.
"There is unquestionably a nece
sity for some sort of action in rega
to a president's incapacity to act di
to illness," Professor Crane said. "U
fortunately, the constitution does n
say anything about such an emerge
cy. A constitutional amendment pr
viding for a 'definite arrangement
such a case would be desirable. I .b
lieve. however, that a federal statu
might accomplish the same purpo
as an amendment.
