CONFERENCEWORK
OF COMMITTEES
FAR EASTERN QUESTION GIVEN
TO BIG FIVE MEMBERS
FOR SOLUTION
ENGLAND MAY DIFFER'
ON HOLIDAY LENGTH
Great Britain and Japan Both Likely
To Agree "In Principle" to
Plan
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Nov.14.-The real work
of the armament negotiations was
transferred today from the open con-
ference to the more secluded precincts
of the committee.rooms. After a de-
bate which. developed widely separate
views on the advisability of giving
publicity to the negotiations, the big
five, comprising the chief delegates of
the United States, Great Britain,
France, Italy and Japan settled on the
committee plan as the only acceptable
solution.
.4
To countries whose membership will
be identical with that of the full con-
ference itself was assigned the task
of working out a solution for the Far
Eastern question. Another, composed
of all the delegates of the five great.
powers, was created to take over the
negotiations on the main topic of arm-
ament limitation. Since only the dele-
gates of the five powers are qualified
to act on armament limitation in the
conference, the result in each case
will be to resolve the delegates into a
"committee of the whole."
Although no official would make a
prediction prior to the assembling of
the two committees, the presumption
everywhere tonight was that the meet-
ing would be held behind closed doors
and that the public would get a
glimpse of the proceedings only in
their capacity as committee men.
Great Britain's acceptance "in prin-
ciple" of the American proposal em-
bracing suggestions for alterations of
the plan in several important details
will be presented in tomorrow's ses-
sion of the conference by Arthur J.
Balfour. Japan's acceptance "in prin-
ciple," although it has been forecast
by the statement of Baron Admiral
Kato, may be delayed as the Japanese,
mission is obligated to confer with
Tokyo.
Mr. Balfour may not outline the de-
tails of the reservations Great Britain-
wishes to make, but they are substant-
ially described this way:
Instead of a flat ten year holiday
Great Britain wants to replace a pro-
gram which will be an elastic one-
spread over a period of years.

tween the different classes and the

"The November Gargoyle is indu-

ill-conceived efforts of Omar the Cig-

"Louie the Lit" in the magazine this
month proves conclusively that Kip-
ling had no monopoly on that very
scarce article - knowledge of wom-

blanket at a game should prove help-
ful to those who take girls to the
game as well as those who do the

Sport devotees will find much that
is edifying in the "Fake of the News,"
especially the article showing con-
clusively why Joe Gans and Jack
Dempsey should be brought together
at a very early date.
"Sweet Alice" and the "Charge of
the Bright Brigade" should satisfy
the most exacting lover of true poet-
ry, while "Hilduh," a French play in
five acts, is a delectable morsel for
those who have ever felt the cosmic
urge of the theater.

coined, according to the Union recep-
tion committee, of which James G.
Frey, '22, is chairman. This is the
first large affair given officially by
any University organization in honor
of Mr. Frost, although a few recep-
tions have already been arranged by
smaller groups on the campus. The
meeting tonight will be altogether in-
formal in spirit, in accordance with
the wish of Mr. Frost.
A special gift to the University an-j
nounced last year by ex-Gov. Chase
S. Osborn has provided that the poet,'
who is 'recognized as among Ameri-
ca's leading literary men, should stay
in Ann Arbor for one year to meet
.he student body and influence it by
personal contact. The experiment is
a new one among American universi-
ties ,and will probably be continued
for some time if successful.
Welcomes Opportunity
In "commenting on the reception
yesterday, Mr. Frost said, "I will wel-
come this opportupity to meet the stu-
dents of the Uni'versity in an infor-
mal way, as I have been limited in my
acquaintanceships so far during my
stay here. There are a great many
men in various departments of thep
University that I have so far been
unable to meet and'I hope they will
appear at the reception tomorrow
night. I haven't the slightest idea of
what I will say at the meeting, but
I will be sincerely glad to form new
friendships among any University
men that care to be present."
It was hoped that President Marion
L. Burton would be able to attend the
reception, but he was forced to make
a trip to New York today that will
prevent his appearance. Mr. -Frost
will be introduced by R. Emerson
Swart, '22E, president of the Union.
Music will be provided during inter-
missions by a special orchestra.

YEAR, $5.50 CASH OR $6
IN PAYMENTS
More than 200 students signed up

campaign for subscriptions. The sales-
men who got the largest number of

'23, with 15 subscriptions; Elizabeth.
Forsyth, '23, with 13, and Douglas Se-
well, '24, with 11.
Salesmen will be stationed in the

Secures Leave of Absence t
A telegraph message was received1
yesterday noon by Professor Talamont

November Chimes 1
Hardy Heth, '20, will tell about Eu-
ropean advertising in the November
issue of Chimes, out this week. Heth
is on the staff of the Chicago Trib-
une, Paris edition. The young man
interested in advertising will find
much of interest in the experiences of
this former Michigan man who has
not been out of school so long that he
cannot understand the problems of
the beginner in the field.
Prominent among the features of
Chimes this month is a symposium of
student opinion concerning the Yost
situation, which has been said to con-
tain the keenest analysis and clearest
thought of anything yet written upon
the subject, either here or elsewhere.
Captain Penberthy is the subject of
the cover, from an original photo-
graph by George Stone, photographic
editor of Chimes. James C. House,
Jr., '24L, art editor, has drawn -a por-
trait-frontispiece of Robert Frost,
which is accompanied by an interest-
ing article by Edwin R. Meiss,- '23,
concerning the poet.

Captain Dunne Says Wolverines Will
Retain Possession of Little
Brown Jug
Anxious. to show their appreciation
of the efforts of the team in battling
the powerful Badgers to a tie, more
than 4,000 students packed Hill audi-
torium last night and cheered the 1921
squad with songs .and yells.
Frank Murphy, '17, speaking for the
alumni asserted that in his opinion the
team today had brought more glory
to the University than any other team
in Michigan's history and that in the
game at Madison had showed more
fight and real football than any team
before it.
Murphy branded as unspeakable the
action of certain alumni groups who.
on the eve of the game with Wisconsin,
made sweeping attacks against the
team and the coach. "For every voice
which is raised against Yost there are
ten for him," he stated, "and there are
thousands of alumni throughout the
who believe and who ,always will be-
country who believe and who always
will believe that our coach Is the
greatest figure in athletics in the
country today."
Prof. John Parker, of the engi-
neering department, in a brief address
advised the student body to stick to
the team to the final whistle Saturday
and said that only those who were
willing to back their assertions to the
end were qualified to make accusa
tions concerning the team or any of
the coaches.
R. J. Dunne, '22, was called on for
a few words and promised that the
game with the Gophers would be a
real battle from start to finish with
each team fighting for the possession
of the little brown jug. Emerson
Swart, '22, was chairman of the meet-
ing and was assisted in conducting
the assembly by Al -_Cuthbert, '22E,
who led the cheers and the songs.
