tentative plan of action designed to
make such readjustments as the
rilo ads consider necessary for effi-
Went and economical operations. The

action.

"A College Child's Garden of Verse,"

G6ERMAN INDEMNITY
FINALLY AGRIEDONi
Supreme Allied Council Agrees
Sum to be Paid as War
on
Reparation
42 ANNUITIES WILL TOTAL
226 BILLION GOLD MARKS
(By Associated Press)
Paris, Jan. 29.-Full agreement on
reparation, German disarmament and
all other important questions before it
was reached by the Supreme council
of the Allies when it adjourned at
5:40 o'clock this evening to meet again
in London, Feb. 21.
The great result obtained, as M.
3riand, the French premier expressed
it after the closing session was, "main-
tenance by the Allies of a front as
united in making peace as it was in
waging war.' Count Sforva, the Ital-
ian foreign minister, and M. Briand
said the conference had resulted to the
satisfaction of everybody concerned.
A protocol was signed approving the
,reparation scheme as agreed by the
special committee appointed by the
council to consider the subject and'
also the report of the disarmament of'
Germany as presented by the military
committee. Under this agrement Ger-
many must disarm by July 1, disband-'
ing all her civic guards not provided
for in the Versailles treaty.
Germany will be 'called upon to pay
42 annuities on a sliding scale of 226,-
000,000,000 gold marks. Her exports
will in addition bear an export duty
of 12 per cent that will go to the Al-
lies on the basis of last year's exports,1
this would give the Allies 1,250,000,000
gold marks or 12 per cent of whatever
moneyinswhich the exports are paid
for. Thus it is estimated 'the first
payment made by Germany will be
3,250,000,000 gold marks, the export'
tax being paid entirely in cash.
TO CONSIDER MICKELSON
STAR MEASURING PLAN
PROF. HUSSEY AND DR. SAWYER
TO GIVE TALKS BEFORE
DISCUSSION
The physics department will hold
a special open discussion at 4:20 Mon-
day afternoon in the east lecture room
of the Physics building, to give both
the physical and astronomical view-
point of the recently developed Mick-
elson method of measuring stellar
diameters.
This process, which gives the actual
diameter of any star within range of
astronomical instruments has caused
considerable interest in scientific cir-
cles and the public at large, accord-
ing to Prof. H. N.. -andall, head of the
physics department'
Dr. A. A. Nickelson, who developed
the methbd, is head of the physics de-
partment at the University of Chicago,
and is the recipient of the Nobel prize,
which is given every few years to the
man making the most important ad-
vancement in the realm of science.
The idea depends on the interference
of two beams of light. Dr. Micelson
has been using the same principle in
determining the legth of the standard
meter, kept in Paris, in terms of wave
lengths of light. It is believed that
the length of metal changes in the
course of time and that the length of
light beams does not. Dr. Mickelson
has also been making investigation
into the distortion of the earth by the
tides, by this same process.
Prof. W. J. Hussey, of the astronomy
department, will open the discussion
by presenting the astronomical side
of the possibilities foreseen in this
method. Dr. R. A. Sawyer, formerly
with the physics department at the
* University of Chicago, will describe
the principle itself in non-technical
terms.

Princeton, . 4., Jan. 29.-Princeton

A membex of. the board of trustees
said tonight that a survey had shown
that it nw cost Princeton $500 an-
aually to educate each student.

MICHIGAN MISSES GOAL,
BUT SHOWING IS GOOD
Chinese Club Most Active in Securing
Contributions from Campus and
Outside Sources
Last night saw the close of the Uni-
versity Foreign Relief fund drive,
with the total receipts far below the
quota which, had been set. The
amount taken in from the general
student drive was $6,660.04; the dance
returns show $169.85; and the Majes-
tic is turning over at least $73.80 to
the fund. This makes $6,903.69 which
Michigan will send to the national
committee.
"While Michigan did not succeed
in reaching her full quota," said Fred
J. Petty, '21, chairman of the fund
committee, last night, "she certainly
made a most creditable showing. We
will no doubt rank high among all
contributors who have helped to al-
leviate the suffering from hunger and
cold among the Chinese and Euro-
peans. This need is unquestionably
an imperative one; and the spirit
shown by Michigan is to be com-
mended, for this request, although a
humanitarian one, depended upon the
attitude of the student body for its
support.
Clubs and Societies Aid
"In the putting across the campaign
all sectional clubs and honorary so-
cieties were asked to assist in sol-
liciting students and faculty. Some
organizations failed to co-operate.
However, the most of them did their
share and more. The Chimes club in
particular did exceptionally fine
work. They not only contributed
$125 from their own treasury, but
went to friends in Detroit from whom
they secured $150 and to others in To-
ledo from whom they secured $125.
In addition to this they have many
smaller contributions which brings
their total above that of any other
club. Another of the organizations
which deserves special mention is the
Men's Educational club.
"The Commercial club, Quarter-
deck, the South African club, the
Newark club, Triangle, Vulcans, the
Cosmopolitan club, Les Voyagers, the
Saginaw club, and the Westerners'
club all came across in fine shape.

DUEMLING GIVEN
FULL EXONERATION
A. H. Duemling, '23, of Fort Wayne,
Ind., received a full exoneration from
the charge of drunkenness, for which
he was arrested last Sunday morning
with three others in connection with
a disturbance on Ingalls street, and
all records of the arrest have been
erased from the police and court
books.
Duemling, who left college in No-
vember on account of illness, had re-
mained here to tutor and was plan-
ning on coming back to college in
February. At the time of the arrest
Duemling was trying to get the other
men back to their rooms. He ran
with the others when the officers ap-
peared. When brought up before the
court he pleaded not guilty and the
officer making the arrest substan-
tiated the charge.
August C. Muehlhauser, '23, of San-
dusky, Ohio, who was shot and seri-
ously injured by Patrolman Clark ear-
ly Sunday morning, is resting com-
fortably, according to the hospital
authlorities. While not yet out of
danger, the young man is much bet-
ter and if nothing occurs to cause a
relapse, will soon be well on the
road to recovery.
Clark has Peen suspended by Mayor
Ernst Wurster pending investigation
of, the affair. The faculty will take
no action upon the case of Muehlhau-
ser until he is able to appear before
them.
