Peace Conference to Work Out Military
Details; Armenia Included
London, March 10.-The Peace Con-
ference spent the day in trying to
work out the details of military and,
naval plans in connection with Tur-
key, giving particular attention to
Armenia. Beatty, Winston Churchill,
secretary for war, and others were
called to give their opinions. Premier
Venizelos of~ Greece was also pres-
ent and again insisted that the allies
should take the sternest measure's
against the sultan*
The .general plan of action was not
changed, however; as a result of the
conference. It became known today
that the military demonstration at
Constantinople is likely to take the
form of allied military control of cer-
tain TurkIsh governmental activi-
ties, afoong :them the war department.
The conferees were careful to make
clear that this does not mean the
taking over of the Turkish govern-
ment at the outset, and would not in
the future if Turkey shows an inch-
nation to abide by the terms of the
armistice and cease massacres.

WIEMA EIGIBLE
Coaching at Los Angeles High School
Not of Professional Nas
ture
EX-CAPTAIN NOT PAID FOR
HIGH SCHOOL SPORT SERVICE
Rumors that "Tad" Wieman, half-
back on the Varsity football teams of
'16 and '17 and captain-elect for the
team of '18, would be ineligible for the
team when he returns this next fall,'
were denied after investigation by
Prof. Ralph W. Aigler, chairman of
the .athletic board.
Prof. Aigler Makes Statement
Professor Aigler's statement is as
follows: "When the report first came
that Wieman had taken a position
with the Los Angeles high school and
was coaching the school football team
many concluded that he had thereby
lost his amateur standing. I have
taken occasion to look into the situa-
tion very thoroughly and the fact is
that Wieman's athletic ability
played no part in securing the position
with the high school and his coaching
was done wholly gratuitously.
Work Was Gratuitous
"His work with the football teair
was-no part of his duties and he re-
ceived no compensation for ha'ndling
it., He did exactly the same work
that other teachers in the high school
were doing and received therefor ex-
actly the samve pay received by other
teachers of like experience. le coach-
ed the football team because he en-
joyed athletics and dealing with bys,
not because he was paid for it,.either
dircctly or indirectly."
Left Here in 1918
Wieman left school at the second
semester in '18 to join the ai' serv-
ice in which he received a commis-
sion. This fall he started teaching in
Los Angeles and has made up his
mind to return next fall to complete
his remaining year in the college of
literature.

in which they laid plans for future
joint- monthly dinners for both1
squads. Coaches Lundgreq and Math-
er were on the list of speakers. The

TREASUREROF ORATORS
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION CHOOSES
MICHIGAN MAN As
OFFICER
Mr. Ray K. Immel of the oratory
department has been elected treasur-
er of the National Association of
Teachers of Speech, the first time that
a Michigan man has been officially
connected with that organization.
Mr. Immel was also made business
manager of the publication put out
by the association, "The Quarterly
Journal of Speech Education.''
The National Association of Teach-
ers of Speech is an organization of
instructors in and those connected
with the teaching of speech. Five years
ago it broke away from the English'
council, the national organization of
teachers of English, to form an organ-
ization for, those interested in the
teaching of oratory alone.
The Journal has been published
quarterly since the beginning of the
-association and treats subjects other
than those dirpctly connected with
oratory. Amateur theatricals, defects
in speech, and other similar subjects
besides oratory are dealt with in-its
articles.
For the rest of this semester Mr.
Immel's University work will, in part,
be done by other men of the depart-
ment, as his duties in his new office
will take considerable time at first.
Prof. Thomas. C. Trueblood will take
part of his work, while Mr. Louis Eich
and Mr. George D. Wilner will be in
charge of the debates and Northern
Oratorical league contes't, respectively.

S O lDUSDANGEROUS
HOUSE LEADER DECLARES PANIC
WOULD PROBABLY
RESULT
Washington, March 10.-A bond is-
sue to pay adjusted compensation to
former service men, Republican-Lead-
er Mondell of Wyoming told the House
Ways and Means committee today,
"would endanger a panic and send
prices ballooning."
He opposed such legislation at this
time on the grounds that heavy addi-'
tional taxes would be necessary what-
ever plan of relief was adopted.
Representative Swope, Republican
of. Kentucky, urged the adoption of a
bill granting an extra year's pay to
all those in the service, except men
who served less than two months. He
estimated that- such a plan would re-
quire an outlay of $1,350,000,000.
Soldier relief also came up in the.
senate, where opponents of such leg-
islation outnumbered those advocat-
ing it.

WAR FILM SHOWS
COMMITTEE'S WORK
The work of the American commit-
tee for devastated France was clearly
and interestingly shown in the film
"The Heritage of France" which was
presented.,last night at Hill auditor-
ium under the auspices of the Wom-
en's league of the University.
The film was made last summer in
the department of the Aisne and the
actors are the peasants of that dis-
trict. It show their life before and
after the invasion by the Germans
and the reconstruction now in pro-
gress.
After the showing of the film, Miss
Grace Parker of New York City told
of her experiences while working in
England and France during the war
and explained the need of American
aid to France. "America must keep
the faith of France and the American
committee for devastated France is
doing that by helping the people
back to their former state. The
French government is doing what
it can but there is much to be
done and the present poverty of
France makes aid imperative."

Was First Vice-Dean of Engineering
College; Had Active
Career
(By J. A. B.)
Joseph Baker Davis, '68, professor
emeritus of the University of Michi-
gan, died Tuesday night at Braden-
.town, Fla., where he had been spend-
ing the winter, according to a mess-
age received yesterday by friends and
associates on the campus.
The death resulted from a number
of years of illness, friends -say. Al-
though it came as a surprise, Profes-
sor Davis' advanced years were felt
by many sufficient to have caused him
to succumb to the illness. He was
just 74 years, nine months, of age
when death came.
Spends Winter in Florida
It was customary for him, since
having retired from the active serv-
ice in the engineering faculty of the
University, to spend his winters in
Florida. Professor Davis' home is in
Dexter.
Professor Davis, after whom Camp
Davis, the summer camp for engi-
neers in northern Michigan, was
named, was retired from work on the
staff of the engineering school, fol-
lowing a most active career. With
the organization of the engineering
department as a separate school from
the literary cqllege, in 1895, Professor
Davis, at that time head of the sur-
veying department of the University,
,was made vice-dean of the engineer-
ing college. Later when the name of
the office was changed to associate
dean of the engineering department
he held this position. He was suc-
ceeded by the present Assistant Dean
Butts.
Graduated in 1868
Professor Davis was born July 31.,
1845, at Westport, Mass. His early
education was, attained in public
grammar and high schools of New
Bedford. It was in 1864 that he en-
tered the University of Michigan,
graduating in 1868 as a civil engi-
neer.
Government surveys of .the Great
Lakes which were made shortly after
he graduated called him into practi-
cal service. He assisted in survey-
ing the shore lineof Lake Superior.
in 1872 an appointment as assistant
professor off civil engineering was ten-
dered him in the University of Mich-
igan. He accepted, beginning his ca-
reer as an educator. In X1891 he was
made professor of Geodesy and Sur-
veying. He held this position until
-1895, when the engineering depart-
ment was separated from the literary
college, and he was promoted to the
office of Vice-Dean, of the same de-
partment.
Was Considered an Authority
During his career he was recog-
nized as an authority upon matters
pertaining to engineering and sur-
veying. Professor Davis was also
chief engineer for the state of Michi-
gan during the St. Clair laka survey;
He was a number of times elected
president of the Michigan Engineer-
ing society, and was-a member of the
American Society of Civil Engineer-
ing.
After having retired from service
in, the engineering department of the
University, he was succeeded as head
of the surveying iepartment by Pro-
fessor Clarence Johnston.
Besides his widow, one son, Charles
Baker Davis, Birmingham, Ala., sur-
Avives the death. The body vll be
accompanied to Ann Arbor for bur-
ial..
