OVERCOME
NOTE KEEPS LEAGUE OUT
OF BOUNDARY DISPUTE
New Basis for Association Believed
Acceptable to Both
Countries
(BY Associated Press)
Washington, March 14.-A new basis
for association is bdlieved by officials
of the state department to be accept-
able to both Panama and Costa Rica in
settlement of their boundary dispute
outlined in a note dispatched to Pan-
ama today..
Replying to Panama's protest against
Secretary Hrughes announcement that
the arbitral award of Chief Justice
White must be put into effect in en-
tirety, the latest communication, while
adhering to the previous declaration
regarding the fixing of the boundary,
opens the door to settlement by agree-
ing to further discuss the Atlantic
end.
Note Considered Death Blow
The note is considered by diplomats
here to have dealt a death blow to
any possibility that the league of na-
tions might be called into the con-
troversy by citing provisions of the
treaty drawn in 1915, whereby Panama
and Costa Rica agreed to submit dis-
putes to the United States as mediator.
This treaty signed by the three powers
was negotiated by William Jennings
Bryan, then secretary of state, oas a
means of. safeguarding American in-
terests in Panama.
Today's note was interpreted as
meaning re-definition of the boundary
line would be favored by the United
States.
Dispatches Show Tranquility
A formal reply cannott be expected
from Panama until the latter part of
the week. Dispatches at the Panama
legation today indicated that complete
tranquility had been set up in the dis-
puted territory.

WIEMAN WITHDRAWS
Le Grand A. Gaines,
President, Student Council,
Dear Sir:
IDregret very much that r am
unable to accept the candidacy
for membership on the student
advisory committee. The urgency
of other matters would mike it
impossible for me to serve effici-
ently, if elected, and I ask, there-
fore that my name be removed
or membership on the student
from the ballot, or at-least from
consideration at the polls._
Respectfully,
E. E. Wieman, '21.

"C'est ]a Guerre" to Consist of Varied
Acts In Typhleal French
Settings
FEMININE TALENT TO APPEAR
AS PARISIAN MADEMOISELLES
Promising to be one of the most un-
ique andtoriginal productions ever
given to the campus, "C'est la Guer-
re," the doughboy show, will be pre-
sented at- 8 o'clock this ovening in
Hill auditorium by the Richard N.
Hall post of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars. Contrary to the opinion of
many, the production is not in French.
Settings Typically French
Amid a typical French cafe setting,
crowded with -doughboys fresh from
the trenches chatting gaily with chic
mademoiselles who flit charmingly
from table to table, while an old gar-
con hobbles about busily, a series of
varied acts will be presented. Almond
Fairfield, '21, plays a dual role when
he takes the part of an old French
veteran of 1870, and later the part of
a British Tommy. Swanee humor
transplanted to the mud of Flanders
will bloom in the person of William
Braybrooks, '22, who will interpret
the latest variations of African golf.
The part of the dainty, petite madem-
oiselle from "gay Paree," whose agil-
ity will be displayed in the famous
Apache dance, is to be taken by M. B.
Small, '21, with whom every Yank in
the cafe immediately falls in love.
Two prominent members of the R. O.
T. C. are to appear on the stage in the
the persons of Major Robert Arthur
and Lieut. J. B. Hoorn. The
former will play the part of a spruce
American officer, while the latter rep-
resents an old garcon.
' British Humor a Feature

flowing, is to be presented in the act

no exceptions, all agreed that the af-

up a party of the type that Michigan

Acting on the request of Gov. Alex
J. Groesbeck and the state administra-
tive board, Prof. David Friday, of the
economics department, yesterday pre-
sented to the board an analytical re-
port of the finances of the state of
Michigan, in which he disclosed the
fact that the financial needs of Mich-
igan for the year 1921 will exceed the
present available funds by $5,140,000.
In the report, which is the first ac-
curate statement of the state's finances
made in recent years, Professor Friday
not only shows the reasons for the
state's bankruptcy, but has also out-
lined a plan which, if put into opera-
tion, may act as a solution to the finan-
cial situation.
Borrowing Power Limited
"Even if special appropriations are
wiped out, and if no new building pro-
jects are undertaken," says Professor
Friday in his statement, "the state will
absolutely be without funds for the
operation of its departments and in-
stitutions shortly after Oct. 1, 1921,
since it is not allowed to borrow in ex-
cess of $250,000."
On Jan. 1, 1921, the balance in cash

upon tfe results of their work. Out-
side of a few inconsequential details,
there were absolutely no objectional
features during the entire evening."
Prof.. Emil Lorch, of the architec-
tural department, when asked his
opinion concerning the Prom, said:
"You may quote me as being glad of
the opportunity to say that it was a
splendid dance, that the committee
deserves credit for the excellent way
they handled the affair, and that I
have never seen a University dance
that was better conducted." Mrs.,
Lorch was equally enthusiastic about
the party. ,
Prom Called Pretty Affair
"I consider that this Prom easily
surpassed the one given by last
year's sophomore class," said Mrs.
William C. Hoad. "It was an excep-
tionally pretty affair and the commit-
tee certainly deserves credit for the
way they managed to bring the Prom
to such/ an excellent 'degree of per-
fection."

Score in Judge
Michigan scored heavily in the num-
ber of contributions printed in the Col-
lege Wits' number of Judge,' which
appeared yesterday, although no de-
oision as to the actual points 'secured
has been rendered.
The art staff were prominently rep-
resented with drawing by Lee Boyd,
'22, W. W. Gower, '22, Charles H.
Wolfe, '23, F. S. Randall, '23, and
James House, '23. Clement Smith, '23,
of the Gargoyle, and Jack Kelley, '23,
editor of The Daily Telescope, were
well represented with, jokes to their
credit. J. G. Newton, '23, also contri-
buted with his "Thoughts a la Green-
wich Village.".
Many schools contributing to this
number of Judge have not been enter-
ed in previous contests. Lack of space
has made it necessary to reprint some
of the winning jokes in next week's
issue in which the winners will be de-
finitely announced.

SHIELDS' SAYS ABILITY
fRADPERSONAITY COUT
DECLARES MAN'S COLLEGE WORK
DOES NOT AFFECT RATING
IN WORLD
Declaring that what a ihan does
in college has no effect on how the
outside world rates him except as it
has an effect -upon his personality,
Edmund C. Shields,, '96L, of Lansing,
who spoke Sunday afternoon in the
Union, endeavored to talk "as one
of the boys" and to give an accurate
account of what is demanded by em-
ployers of university graduates.
"When you get out of college you
are measured by your own personal-
ity and what you can do. You gill
forget almost all you learn here as
a matter of memory. What you do
here has no effect upon you unless
it develops your, personality, individ-
uality, originality and ability to do
things," he said.
- No Royal Road to Suecess"
"There is no royal road or formula
to attain success simply by relying on
your education. It is what you really
are. You will get what you are enti-
tled to on that basis alone."
Referring to his subject, "The Man
Out 'of College," he defined the char-
acter as a man of the "right blood,
right brain and the right spirit. We
come to college expecting that it will
help us to adapt ourselves quicker to
other surroundings.
"You are getting academic knowl-
edge. That's fine. But it isn't worth
anything if you can't practice it," he
declared. "Nothing is closed to you,
however, so get down and dig. Be as
