WEATHER AND COLDER TODAY . 4p an Da1133 ASSOCIATED PRESS DI AND NIGHT WIRE SElLVICE J1. No. 44 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1921 PRICE FIVZ CENTS 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. CLASS OFFICERS TO MEET COUNCIL Class presidents and other class of- ficers of the University will meet with members of the Student council at 7:30 o'clock at the Union this evening. The purpose of this meet- ing is to " instruct the new ofi- cers in the various duties they will have to perform and to set a time for "Class Dues day," at which time all class fees will be payable. John W. Ross, '23E, treasurer of the -Student council, will address the meeting, speaking on co-operation be- tween the different classes and the council, especially regarding finances. Other business of importance will be discussed.

Gargoyle, on Sale Today, Features SArtling C over "The November Gargoyle is indu- bitably, undeniably and irrefutably 'hot stuff', or to use the words of the famous. Aristotle, it's the 'berries'," said a prominent member of the rhet- oric department when shown the Football Number of Gargoyle which makes its appearance on the campus this morning. A three color cover by Elmer G. Wellin '23, depicts the futile, though ill-conceived efforts of Omar the Cig- arettemaker to stop the onrushes of a flock of haremites. The debut of "Louie the Lit" in the magazine this month proves conclusively that Kip- ling had no monopoly on that very scarce article - knowledge of wom- en, while the advice of the football star on the proper method of using a blanket at a game should prove help- ful to those who take girls to the game as well as those who do the rooting. "The Log of a Rum Runner," tells graphically the perils encountered in a voyage from Windsor to Detroit. Lovers of the mysterious and Ec. 1 will find an intellectual treat in the hair-raising experiences of the nefar- sous Dr. FewKanchu. 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.

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.

After a. meeting with President Marion L.

Mrs. Talamon willt accompany him.t An Experienced Man Professor Talamon is eminently ex-z perienced for the duties which he! will assume, having acted as inter- preter for the French government at the Paris conference and was also in-E terpreter at the American general1 headquarters at Chaumont, France, from Oct. 1917, to Feb., 1919.t Heth, '20, Tells A bout PFaris In 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. The story of Cornell's athletic su- 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.
