FAR EAST, LAND ARMAMENTS AND

FRANCE QUESTIONS
RIGHTS OF CHINESE
Premier Briand Wants Guarantees
from Other Powers Before
Disarming
Washington, Nov. 23. - When the
arms delegates quit -work for the
Thanksgiving day recess, these con-
siderations embraced the central
points of interest in their discussion:
Whether the effort to apply gener-
ally accepted principles to specific
cases in the Far East would bring
definite accomplishments or only lead
to futile debate.
Whether, in view of the position of
France and the general situation in
Europe, any serious attempts could be
nade to agree on a limitation- of land
armaments.
Naval Plans Move Slowly
Whether a way can be found to has-
ten consideration of details of ,the
naval limitations plan, which is pro-
ceeding smoothly but too slowly to
satisfy some of the delegates.
Of these questions the first was
brought sharply to the fore tonight
by several direct clashes regarding
elements of the Far Eastern negotia-
tions. At today's executive session of
the nine delegations, the right of the
Chinese delegates to speak for the
whole of China was reported to have
been questioned by France, and lat-
er a British interpretation of the
general principles already adopted
was challenged by some of the Chi-
nese.
Earlier in the day the land prob-
lem had been debated behind closed
doors by the delegates of the five
great powers, without further result
than the appointment of a sub-com-
mittee to consider collateral subjects
like the use of aeroplanes and pison
gases. Premier Brand of France,
making his farewell speech to the con-
ference, used the argument that his
country could not dis'arm unless he
had guarantees from the other pow-
ers, and although there were expres-
sions of sympathy from every other
national group, no one proposed any
formal joint separation of policy.
Delegate Impatient
Ow the side of th naval reduction
program developments were so com-
pletely out of the picture that some
of the delegates showed impatience
and pointed out the possible danger
that the negotiations might become
confused by too exhaustive discussion
of details. It is possible the naval ex-
perts will be asked to simplify their
methods so as to expedite action.
Tomorrow will be a day of rest so
far as meetings of the conference and
its sub-divisions are concerned, al-
though it may see some real progress
through consultation among .the va-
rious individuals and groups.
Dr. Herrington, '10D, Dies in Canada
Word has just been received from
Morse, Saskatchewan, Canada, of the
death of Dr. Grover Herrington, '10D,
who was for three years a member of
the Michigan Varsity football team.
His death was caused by an attack of
pneumonia.

BISHOP REMINGTON
TO SPEAK SUNDAY1
Eminent Episcopal Churchman De-
livers Three Addresses That
Day
PRESIDENT OF CHRISTIAN
ASS'N WAS FAMOUS ATHLETE
With the coming of Rt. Rev. Wil-
liam P. Remington, D.D., bishop suf-
fragan of South Dakota, to Ann Arbor
next Sunday, activities in University
religious circles will move with add-
ed impetus. Bishop Remington will
speak at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morn-
ing at St. Andrew's church and again
at 7 o'clock as the principal speaker
at the University service in Hill audi-
torium.
Leads Discussion
He has also promised to be present
at the Harris hall supper at 6 o'clock
Sunday evening as well as conduct a
discussion group in Lane hall follow-
ing the University service.
Bishop Remington is the youngest
bishop in the church and he is leaving
a string of worthy achievements be-
hind him. He is president of the Un-
iversity Christion association and is
said to "kick holes in the sky" in his
mission work in South Dakota. While
in college he won the intercollegiate
hurdles in 1900 and represented thej
University of Pennsylvania in the
Olympic games at Athens. During the
World war he served in France as a
chaplin.-,

In addition he will be the principal
speaker at the annual dinner for Un-
iversity Episcopalians to be held at 6
o'clock Wednesday, Nov. 30, in the as-
sembly room of the Union. The toast-
mater will be Dean Warren L. Rog-
ers, '07, of St. Paul's cathedral, De-
troit. Douglas Dow, '22, will speak
for the undergraduates. Tickets for
the supper may be obtained at Harris
hall or at Wahr's.

miss the turkey and cranberries, and
that nice, stuffed, after-dinner holiday
feeling, sitting around the fire, "too
full of a number of things" to do more
than blink wonderingly and ruminate
on your suppressed philosophical ten-
dencies, and feel vaguely what a great
person you might be if you tried-to-
morrow, sometime, only not just now.
And bluebooks are fover, or are
coming, - it doesn't matter much.
You're feeling too comfortable to care.-
All a blue book means today is an A,'
like the a in apples, and cramming is
something nice, like what's inside the
turkey and will spill out on the plate.
And the bluebook blue is a faint azure
of peacefulness.
And if Tranksgiving can do all thatf

their turkey, and enjoy the day as

Professor Parker Lauds Engineering
Firm for Giving Problems
to Students
PLAN INCLUDES CRITICISM
OF PAPERS BY OFFICIAL
"Among the biggest constructive
steps made in recent years to aid en-
gineering education," is the way Prof.
John C. Parker of the electrical engi-
neering department, characterizes the
newly inaugurated practice of the
Western Electric and Manufacturing
company at East Pittsburgh, Pa., of
making actual mechanical and elec-
trical engineering problems available
to students in the nation's leading
technical schools.
A Bona Fide Plan
"The active interest of this organ-
ization in the improvement of engi-
neering education is not an advertis-
ing dodge or a bid for men," states
Professor Parker. "Rather it is due
to a realization that anything-that ben-
efits technical education is to the ad-
vantage of every engineering concern
in the country." The most remarkable
part of the proposition in Professor
Parker's opinion is that B. G. Lamme,
chief engineer, has undertaken per-
sonally to review papers selected by
the faculties each month as the best,
and criticise them for the benefit of
the students who prepared the ans-
wers.
Mr. Lamme, says Professor Parker,
is the biggest electrical machine de-
signer in the world, and students
should find it very much worth while
to compete for the opportunity of ob-
taining his criticisms.
First Series Received
Professor Parker has received the
first problems in the series. "They are
of an extraordinarily high grade," h
states. "These problems selected from
the day-to-day experience of a very
practical business firm show to a
striking degree a distinct interest in
pure, fundamental theory."

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BACKS
CAREFUL INVESTIGATION
Expert investigation of alleged high
prices in Ann Arbor is expected to
follow the action taken by the deans
in their conference yesterday. Thee
committe composed of Dean J. A.
Bursley, Dean H. M. Bates, and Dean
M. E. Cooley, which was appointed
some time ago to investigate price
conditions, made its preliminary re-
port.
Want Action
The deans are determined to get to
the bottom of the situation, and ac-
cordingly are requesting the Board of
Regents to appropriate a sufficient
sum to enable the University to en-
gage the services of an expert, who
will make a thorough and disinter-
ested investigation.
It is the sentiment of the deans that
no war is being waged against any
particular class, that the University
does not propose to align itself against
Ann Arbor business in'terests, but they
do propose to make a thorough sift
of existing conditions, and if profiteer-
ing is disclosed, to fix the responsi-
bility upon the responsible individ-
uals, and at the same time take defi-
nite steps to relieve the situation.
Business Men Agree
On the other hand, the Ann Arbor
Chamber of Commerce speaks with
equal zeal that the whole matter be
given a' thorough probe. In an inter-
view last night, Paul L. Proud, pres-
ident of the Chamber of Commerce and
chairman of the retail division which
has charge of the investigation of liv-
ing costs, said he believed prices are
as reasonable, considering the class
of merchandise and services given by
Ann Arbor stores, as anywhere else.
As to the attitude of the Chamber
of Commerce toward an investigation,
Mr. Proud said: "The Chamber of
Commerce desires to leave no stone
unturned in an attempt to arrive at
the facts of the situation and to this
end would be willing to raise any rea-
sonable amount of money necessary
for a thorough investigation."

SUGGESTIONS MADEI
FOR MOVE PLOTS
. t
Faults in Scenarios Already Submit-
ted Bring Comment From
Company'
PRODUCIBILITY SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED CHIEF ELEMENT1
Technical faults in the plot outlinesI
that have already been submitted for
the University motion picture that will
be produced on the campus within a
few months caused the issuance yes-
terday by a representative of the
cinema producing company, with
which The Daily has arranged the
picture, of some more definite sugges-
tions for the construction of scenarios.
Simple Story Wanted
The first element in a good plot, ac-
cording to the instructions issued yes-
terday, is its producibility, a thing
that involves both moderate expenses
of production and a simple and di-
rect appeal. Conservative manage-
ment requires that the scenes be easy
of construction and, in a University
picture such as the one planned, near
to the normal experienc'es of every-
day college life, where unlimited pos-
sibilities are offered for original
themes.
The simplicity of the plot should
not be complicated by irrelevent coun-
ter plots, an involved cast of char-
acters, excessive jumps in time, or
unnecessary shifts in locations. A
mere series of sprightly incidents
however unusual or well worded will
not make a plot unless they are cen-
tralized and subordinated to one con-
trolling objective. Each action and
motive must be logical and explainable
of iself, for the fast moving scenes of
the photoplay do not, allow the audi-
ence opportunity to settle the doubt-
ful points of the action.
Truth Not Necessary
The story does not have to be true,
in fact truth to recognized principles
is far more desirable than accuracy in
describing actual events. The inci-
dents must have more than a local ap-
peal, for general plausibility, combin-
ed with a recognized local color, is the
only thing acceptable to the national
audience before which the picture will
be given a showing.
