Telegrams Reeeived - Downing street, where stands the official residence of the prime minis- ter, was inundated with telegrams of congratulation from all over the world. One of the first results of the peace -probably arranged for at the con- ference when the treaty was drafted -was the royal proclamation liberat- ing more than 3,000 prisoners intern- ed in Ireland. It is reported also that there may be reconsideration of the sentences imposed on thoseIrish men convicted of political crimes. Choir Presents Noel Jiusic f Nations Sunday .

Prof. Louis C. Karpinski, of the mathematics department, Leon H. Leonian, graduate student in botany, and Warren Lee McCabe, '22E, were chosenaas fullbmembers. The four associate members were John B. Leighly, '22, Elmore Shaw Pettyjohn, '22E, Elton B. Tucker, 122E, and Jo- seph T. Woolfenden, '22E. Initiation of the new men will be held at a later date. Original Work Fostered The object of the society, as explain- ed by Prof. Peter Okkeberg, of the zoology department, secretary of the organization, is to encourage original investigation in pure and applied sci- ence. Only such graduate students are elected 'who have by actual work shown an aptitude for scientific inves- tigation, and undergraduates are chos- en on the basis of scholarship and fu- ture promise of ability to do con- structive work. Students admitted to associate membership may later be- come full members upon demonstra-, tionof actual ability in original work. Policy Changed This Year .This is the first time that a fall election has been held by the Michi- gan chapter of the society, but Pro- fessor Okkelberg declared that this was due to the fact that it was the purpose of the organization to bring worthy students into contact with the members while they are still in col- lege, rather than at the close of their college careers orafter graduation. Christmas Issue Of Chimes Mlakes Scoop Of Cam us Christmas is more than two weeks1 off, but Chimes has accomplished a scoop, the Christmas issue going on sale today. This month's magazine is brimming over with attractive stories. The cover is a three-tone Christmas scene by Clayton Seagars, '23. "Is Michi- gan Democratic", in which Leo J. Hershdorfer, '23, takes the affirma- tive and Maynard Newton, '22, the neg- ative, presents an interesting subject from two angles. Fred C. Kelly, '04, has contributed "After Twenty Years", an account of the trials that he met while in college, and how he rose to the front rank of magazine writers after leaving school. The frontispiece is a life-like draw- ing of E. Mortimer Shuter, director of the Michigan Union opera, by James House, Jr., '24L. Accompanying thisi sketch, is an article by Mr. Shuter on "Thank God for the Fire", in which he explains how he has coached the Michigan operas to success.

TO SPEAK TONIGHT Well Known War Leader of New York Gives Oratorical Association Lecture IS KNOWN AS AUTHORITY ON ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE Charles S. Whitman, a reformer who became governor, will speak in Hill auditorium tonight on "The Ad- minstration of Criminal Justice", in the fourth number of the Oratorical association lecture series, of which Judge Ben Lindsey will be fifth, in a lecture here on Jan. 7. Mr. Whitman served as governor of New York state for two terms, from 1915 to 1919, throughout the entire war period. He is considered an au- thority on his subject of criminal jus- tice, not only through his adminstra- tion during a particularly stringent crime wave which swept through the state during his term in office, but' through various judicial positions held in New York city. While he was acting as district at- torney for the county of New York it was one of his achievements to con- vict Becker, one of the most notorious gunmen in the country. Since his re- tirementfrom office in 1919, Mr. Whit- man has continued his law practice in New York city. Mloore Plays At Today 's Recital Earl V. Moore, head of the organ department of the School of Music, will give the next recital in the Twi- light Organ series at 4:15 o'clock this afternoon in Hill auditorium.

In one the President said, "This conference will demonstrate the wisdom of internationally comingto- gether - nations facing each other on settling problems without resort to arms." PROFSSIONA AI PERVADES OPERA ON SECOND NIGHT MUSIC AND COSTUMES IN "MAKE IT FOR TWO" ACHIEVE EXTRAORDINARY INCIDENTAL DANCES SCORE BIGGEST HIT Book Gives Occasion for Al Actors to Fill Roles With Equal Excellence (By Paul Watzel) Music, costumes and feature4ancing that compare favorably with any of the professional productions now on the road, that in a word sums up the sixteenth Michigan Union opera, "Make It for Two", which appeared for the second time last night at the Whitney theater. With a plot that, while in itself is interesting, furnishes varied opportu- nities for interspersed singing and dancing, the production this year seems to have accomplished what pro- ductions of other years have failed to do. And these opportunities were made the most of, for in the feature work every one of the actors were ca- pable of giving the audience the high class specialties that are demanded of the musical comedy.' Dancers Successful Earl C. Powers, '22, George Z. Hoff- man, '24, Julian L. Zemon, '23, Gordon Loud, '22, and Gordon D. Wier, '24, were the leaders in making the danc- ing in the performance what it was. Powers, who seemed to dominate every time he appeared, was especial- ly good. Zemon's solo dance was an equal to any act of its kind that has been seen here for years. Costumes and scenery, especially the former, were more than the most critical could desire, and by far the most gorgeous that have ever been seen in Mimes productions. In the "Four Seasons" and the "Garden of Girls" the costumes were as much as could have been expetced from a first class Broadway company. The four back-stage drops, in the "Four Sea- sons" were effective and added to the impression created by the girls. No Stars Stand Out To pick out any particular member of the cast and lay finger upon hini as the outstanding figure would be a mistake. One of the strongest points of the production is that the entire cast was strong, Wilfred R. Laurie, '22L, and William A. Sutherland, '2, portraying the much used type of re- versed domestic relations, put a punch in their portrayals that will not soon be forgotten. Arthur H. Holden, '24, carried the hero's part well, supported by Howard L. Donahue, '24, and ably aided by the schemes of lawyer Skinem, which part was well taken by Howard S. Stimp- son, '24. Carl W. Guske, '22, again showed well in his interpretation of the one-horse potentate. Albert F. Schirmer, '22E, and Thomas I. Under- wood, '23L, were an ideal team, with James Dresbach, the "poet" trying to interfere. The chorus showed the effects of the good training that it has had during the past weeks, and with a few more rough spots taken out by their continued stage appearance, will show up to the best advantage, a thing now within an ace of a reality. Reception Given at Observatory A reception was given at the Ob- servatory yesterday afternoon and evening for the faculty and towns- people by Prof. W. J. Russey, head of the astronomy department, and Mrs. Hussey, and Prof. A. S. Whitney, act- ing dean of the School of Education, and Mrs. Whitney. 9 y AT BOOKSTORES n r sI 0 nes ON CAMPUS ON SALE TODAY!
