PRICE FIVE CE U.AC H IE VEMENTS IN HAITI LOST, IF ARMY WITH DRAWS LONG OCCUPATION NECESSARY, BELIEVES AMERICAN REP. RESENTATIVE' GENERATION REQUIRED FOR SELF GOVERNMENT General Knapp Claims Reports Alleg- ing Cruelties to Women and Children Untrue (By Associated Press)f Washington, Oct. 20.-"Achievements of American intervention in Haiti will have been lost unless military occupa- tion of the country is continued a great many years," Rear Admiral Har- ry S. Knapp, recently sent to Haiti by the state department, declared in a statement made public tonight. Admiral Believes We Must Remain Replying to a question, as to when the United States could withdraw from Haiti, Admiral Knapp's state- ment said: "I cannot answer this for the administration, but in my personal view of the work of American inter- vention will have been practically lost, if the United States withdraws its forces for many years to come." "I believe it will take at least a generation, to develop in Haiti suffci- ent men of a high enough standard of ethics, to provide personnel of an hon- est administration, and a background of honest population, for its supp'ort," said Admiral Knapp. No Crnel Practices Used Replying to qpestions regarding treatment of natives by the Americans, Admiral Knapp denied that women and children had been killed, or that cruel practices had been used to ex- fract information from natives.'. "A full answer could not be given to the the latter question, however, until cer- tain allegations had been investigat- ed," he added. "The political administration of Haiti is being conducted in strict ac- cordance with the constitution adopted in 1918," Admiral Knapp declaredi.

A. A. LAUNCHES MEMBL4RSHIP DRIVE With the launching of the meiber- ship eampaign for the Women's Ath- letic association, Thursday morning, Oct. 21, women of the University will be given an opportunity to show their interest in one of the largest fields of women's activities. The association numbers among its annual affairs two picnibs, a banquet and a cotillion. Through an honor point system, awards of arm bands, pins, and sweaters are given those who make class teams and take an ac- tive interest in tennis, archery, hiking and indoor gymnasium work. Awards are made only to members of the asso- ciation. Membership tables will be placed in University hall, Tappan hall, the Li- brary, and Barbour gymnasium. BANDB6OUNCE SET FR HNOVEMBER-15 Proceeds Will Cover Columbus and St. Paul Trips; $5,000 Needed CONCERT NUMBERS AND VAUDEVILLE STUNTS PLANNED With the intention of securing funds for sending Michigan's 68 piece band to the Ohio State and Min- nesota games, plans have been made for a Band Bounce to be held Friday, Nov. 5, in Hill auditorium. Oficiah figure that the fg mer trip will cost about $1,000, aid while no definite figures have been secured as to the expense of the latter trip, it is esti- mated around $4,000. Speaking of the program for the Bounce H. P. Lindsay, '21, stated that in addition to the usual concert num- bers there would be five vaudeville acts drawn from the best of campus talent. "The program will be one of the biggest' nights of real Michigan entertainment ever offered," Lindsay asserted. Only once before has the Varsity band attempted such a long trip as the one to Minnesota. In 1914, when Michigan played Harvard, the idea of a Band Bounce to raise money to send the team to Cambridge was conceiv- ed, and the affair was successful. Since that time it has become an an- nual event.' FOREIGN WAR VETS TO ASK STATE AID At the meeting of the Veterans of Foreign Wars held at the Union last evening plans were made for obtain- ing action from the Michigan legisla- ture in behalf of Michigan ex-service men. A committee under the leader- ship of Byron Field, '21, was appoint- ed to get in touch with the candidates for legislative positions and to secure their sup ort for measures for the pecuniary aid of the thousands of men in Michigan who served during the war. It was pointed out at the meet- ing that sixteen states have already passed laws of such a nature and it is hoped that Michigan will take her place with them. A marger with the Overseas club was the subject of some discussion, it being pointed out that the two organ- izations are covering practically the same field in the University. The sentiment of the members present fav- ored a merger of the two clubs, but official action upon the matter was de- layed until the Overseas club could have opportunity to consider it. NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN GREAT BRITAIN COAL STRIKE (By Associated Press) London, Oct. 20.-Today brought no new development in the coal strike, neither side to the dispute made any offer to the other and no outside med- iation was instituted. It was still hoped tonight that the proposal of William Drake, president of the South Wales miners, may event- ually lead to renewed negotiations; but it is admitted it must first be adopted by the miners' executive com- mittee, which as so far been unable to act. Advocacy by some extremists of withdrawing the pumping staffs from the mines drew few supporters among the miners generally, a number of leaders being strongly against it. GLEE CLUB MAY STAGE OLD TIME MINSTREL SHOW UNION ASKS PERMISSION OF COM- MITTEE ON STUDENT AF- FAIRS PLAN TO TOUR STATE AT CHRISTMAS TIME William Wheeler, of School of Music, Secured to Train Large Chorus Request for permission to stage a Glee and Mandolin club minstrel show was made yesterday to the Committee on Student Affairs by the Michigan Union. Present plans are for the pro- duction of a minstrel show of the qual- ity of those that were popular on the campus some five years ago, and a tour of the state during the Christ- mas vacation. Officials Hopeful While the Committee on Student Af- fairs has not as yet signified its ap- proval of the project, Union officials do not expect to encounter a refusal. The musical organization is under the auspices of the Union this year and this plan is the initial step in the Union's effort to make the season a successful one.4 It is the Union's idea to make the Glee and Mandolin activities compare favorably with the op@ra in popularity and merits. In line with that aim, the services of William Wheeler, of the School of Music, have been secured to train the chorus. Mr. Wheeler is re-~ puted to be one of the country's ex- perts in handling large choruses, ac- cording to officials of the Union. Frederick R. Storrer, '21E, has been named general chairman of the club and he will act as student executive in producing the minstrel. A chorus of 50 voices will be taken on the trip, which will last a week and include all the large cities of the state, according to present plans. Try- outs for the Glee club have been asked to report at 7 o'clock tonight at the second floor reading room of the Un- ion. By an almost unanimous vote at its meeting held last night the University of Michigan Glee and Mandolin club approved the resolution to affiliate it- self with the Union and put all of its business affairs in the hands of the latter organization. Club Remains Unit The project, which was explained at the meeting by R. A. Campbell, treas- urer of the University and faculty ad- viser of the club, provides that while the business management of the club is to be in the hands of the Union, the organization is to remain as a unit, elect its own officers other than busi- ness manager, and retain its social or- ganization. Officers Elected An expression of opinion was voiced at the meeting in regard to the type of music that should appear on the programs, nearly all voicing their sentiment that more strictly Michigan songs should be given the* preference. Officers of the club were elected as follows: President, E. T. Jones, '21M; vice-president, N. W. Bourne, '22M. AMBULANCE CORPS MEN DINE TONIGHT Ex-service men who served in any branch of the ambulance corps at home or abroad during the war will hold a get together dinner in the Union at 6 o'clock tonight. There are between 50 and 60 men on the campus who have been in the ambulance service and it is hoped that all these will attend. If possible an organization will be formed and dinners will be held throughout the year. Frank L. Walters, '21L, is in charge of the arrangements for the first meeting. All those who desire to at- tend are requested to notify him by phoning 1855. American field service men, United States 'army ambuiance men and Red Cross ambulance work- ers are invited. (By L. A K.) Although the present Chimes sub- scription drive has already netted be- tween 200 and 250 new subscriptions, it has been decided to hold the cam- pus stands open until noon today. Most of the signers to date have been men, and the staff of the publication expect the women to take advantage of this opportunity to back the Uri- versity magazine. Due'to the inability of the publish- ers to have more than 125 copies ready by yesterday, it was not possi- ble for delivery to be made to all sub- scribers, but enough of the magazines are now on hand to insure immediate elivery to all who have been forced o wait. The cover on this year's first issue SEVEN KILLED IN RAILROAD WRECK Two New York Central Trains Side- Swipe, as Result of Open Switch OCCUPANTS HURLED FROM SEATS AS PULLMAN OVERTURNS (By Associated Press) Erie, Oct. 20.-Seven persons were killed and 20 injured, three probably fatally, when the New York Central train No. 60 eastbound side swiped train No. 23 westbound, within 200 feet of the Union depot here at noon. A switch thought to have been thrown by members of a section gang, work- ing at the scene of the wreck, was be- lieved to have caused the accident. Car Leaps Rail The westbound train had just left the station and the eastbound was coasting into .the station when the crash came. A car of the eastbound train suddenly leaped from the rails and crashed into a pullman, tearing its steel sides away as if it were pa- per. The occupants of the car were hurled from their seats, as the heavy pullman toppled over with the open side up. Use Ladders in Extracting Dead Policemen and firemen were forced to use ladders in taking dead and in- jured from the wreckage. All of the dead were badly mangled, and it was impossible to identify three of them until the Pullman list could be check-* ed up. New York Central officials will be- gin an investigation tomorrow. '89 Alumnus In Medical School Dr. Harry L. Canright, '89M, who has been doing missionary work in China for the past 29 years, is taking a graduate course in the 'Medical school. Dr. Canright was connected with the hospital at Chengtu, China, during the first 24 years of his stay in the Orient, while for the last five years he has been dean of the medical de- partment of the West China Union university., Cyril M. Canright, '24M, is a son of the doctor. CLASSICAL CLUB MAKES PLANS FOR YEAR'S WORK For the purpose of making further plans for the year's work, the Classi- cal club met Monday night in Alumni Memorial hall. The reports of the various commit- tees appointed at the first meeting were heard and discussed. It was decided to hold a dance on the even- ing of Nov. 12 in Barbour gymnasium' instead of Oct. 26, as formerly an- nounced. Plans for a membership campaign were discussed at length, and ar- rangements made to get the drive un- der way at once.' of Chimes is worthy of note, being a photograph of President Marion L. Burton taken on the steps of the pres- ident's home. The picture, which is in colors on the magazine cover, is one of 11 copies which have been sent out to different papers, and which has appeared in the rotogravure sections of both the Detroit News and the St. Louis Post Dispatch. It has also been used as a cover by the Flint Saturday Night and has appear- ed in the Grand Rapids Herald and the Adrian Telegram. To Enlarge Magazine Copies of this picture, for use in memory books or for framing, may be purchased at the Chimes office, on the second floor of the Press building, any atternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock. The first issue this year contains 48 pages not including the , covers, which is larger by eight pages than any issue of last year previous to the April number. Next month it is ex-I pected to increase this number, when the magazine will probably contain from 56 to 64 pages. November Issue Planned The November issue will contain a number of interesting articles, fore-a most among which is one by prof. Robert M. Wenley of the philosophy' department, entitled "The Lit." This. article is one of a series of four to be written by members of the facul- ties of the Literary and Engineering colleges and the Law and Medical schools concerning their respective students. Moreover, the November is- sue will contain an article on the sub- ject of an editorial career, written by Stuart Perry, '96L, editor of the Adrian Telegram, which should be of interest to all students but more es- pecially to those who are contemplat- ing journalism as a profession. Reeive Aviation Article A manuscript has recently been re- ceived by Chimes from Laurence La Tourette Driggs, '00, which will be run in an early number of the maga- zine. The paper, which contains some 7,000 words, is on the subject of avia- tion from the pen of an authority on the subject, as, among other things, Mr. Driggs is president of the Amer- ican Flying club, and has written nu- merous papers and books on aeronau- tics. PLANS PROGRESS FOR 19 21 OPERA Plans for the 1921 Michigan Union opera are progressing satisfactorily, according to E. A. Krueger, '21E, gen eral chairman of the opera. A meeting of the book committee was held a few days ago and several books were considered. The final choice is to be made within a few days. As soon as the book is determined upon, work on the music will start. An effort is being made to get a professional dancer here so that try- outs for the chorus may secure in- struction in this line. The success of last year's opera was in a large meas- ure due to the quality of the dancing and special efforts will be made along that line for the 1921 production. FORESTERS HAVE SMOKER; ELECT CLUB OFFICERS The Forestry club opened its initial meeting of the year last night with a smoker on the fourth floor of the Natural Science building.- An elec- tion was held. F. X. Schumacher, '21, was elected president, M. W. Sample, '22, vice-president, J. S. Barnes, '21, secretary, and L. M. Tur- ner, '23, treasurer. Prof. 'ilibert Roth, head of the for- estry department, gave a short -ad- dress, in which he explained the op- portunities that are being opened up to foresters and in which he encour- aged the men of the forestry depart- ment to do some intensive work the coming year.

Julius Kahn, of California, opened the Republican campaign in this county last night in the Whitney theater with a speech dealing with national issues. After a brief introduction by V. E. Van Ameringen, local chairman of the Republican committee, in which he stated that Mr. Kahn had been in- dorsed by the Democrats in 1918 and was being supported by both tickets this fall, the congressman scored the administration for assuming it had won- the war. Against League "Out of the 21 members of the Mil- itary committee only three of the Democratic members were for ' the Conscription bill. It was for the Re- publicans to carry it to victory," said Mr. Kahn. "I believe that we should be Americans first and then talk poli- tics. The Democrats tried to make it a Democratic war. "I do not believe that the League of Nations will prevent war and with article 10 in it I believe it will bring war," said Kahn in referring to this issue. Confident of Winning Mr. jKahn attacked the administra- tion's present policy of increasing the army to its fullest extent of 507,- 000 enlisted men and officers, for it would mean a deficit of millions of dollars to equip it. In conclusion Mr. Kahn stated that he knew that Harding would be elect- ed this fall and that President Hard- ing would give the United States the best cabinet it had had in a long time. He would not make it a one man government.
