CONFERENCE MEN REACH AGREEMENT Encounter Difficulties in Discussion of Far East Prob- lems NAVAL QUESTION SETTLEMENT NEAR; ONE OBSTACLE REMAINS (Byy Associated Press) Washington, Dec. 14. - The arms :-onference delegates have reached an agreement on all the major issues of the naval ratio, but are encountering new difficulties in their discussion on the Far East. "5.5-3" Forms Basis The American "five-five-three" ratio forms the basis of the naval settle- ment, but there are to be readjust- ments in the original American plan to permit Japan to retain her new bat- tleship Mutsu. The United States and Great Britain will be given a compen-. sative quota of additional ships not yet determined in detail. In the Far Eastern negotiations th latest element of controversy is a re- quest by China for abrogation of the reaty resulting from Japan's famous "21 demands." When the request was ?resented to the Far Eastern commit- 'ee of the whole today the Japanese promptly objected and the committee adjourned. Shantung Negotiations Critical Coming at a time when the Shantung negotiations are at a critical stage the Chinese abrogation proposal has somewhat beclouded the prospect of a Far Eastern agreement, but most of the delegates remain confident of an ultimate solution. Another meeting of the "big three" late today advanced the naval question nearer to the point of a final and de- tailed settlement, unless some minor points still to be determined. FOWTYFR DTSCUSSES BRIDGE STRUCTURE Charles Evan Fowler, of New York, designer and chief engineer of the De- troit-Windsor bridge, delivered an iI- lustrated lecture upon "The Evolu- ion and Architecture of Bridges." be- fore a capacity audience in the Natur- al Science auditorium last night, un- der the auspices of the Engineering society. Mr. Fowler outlined the develop- ment of bridge building from the mud brick arches built 4,000 years before Christ, found in the ruins of Babylon, to the proposed Hudson river bridge with its span of some 3,000 feet. "Most of the architectural qualities of bridges must lie in beauty of struc- ture, rather than in external decora- tions," said Mr. :Fowler. For this reason, he explained, there can never be the extensive development of differ- ,nt types of bridges that is found in most kinds of structure. NO MAIL SITUATIONS FOR STUDENTS DURING HOLIDAYS Students will not be employed by the railway mail service during the coming holiday season because of the great number of unemployed men throughout the country.

Six Numbers Recorded The University of Michigan is said to have without a doubt the greatest amount of genuine music published of any school. Six of the most popular; of these songs have been recorded by the Brunswick people. The Criterion Quartette (which will be called the "University Quartette"1 on records) sing "When Night Falls, Dear" and "Ann Arbor Days". The Criterion Quartette seem somehow to have gathered an infinite amount of real Michigan spirit which they have succeeded most effectively in putting into their singing. An interlude of the Campus Chimes lends an atmos- phere to the singingrwhich will per- haps make "Ann Arbor Days". very vivid to the "Old Boys". "College Days" and "Yellow and Blue" have also been produced by the same quartette, both of which are rendered with a strong swing, serving to bring out the true beauty and pow- er of these old favorites, but retain the dignity necessary to make them effective. "Victors" and "Varsity" Good "The Victors" and "Varsity", play- ed by Walter Rogers and his band, have caused hearers to say that only the presence of football men are need- ed to make any graduate feel that he the month, when they will be issued as special releases.

NOTED NEGRO ORATOR TO LECTURE HERE TONIGHT1 News of the Day IN BRIEF New York, Dec. 14. - Seeking re- moval of the "stone wall" which they declared minor leagues have placed aroun star players by asking prohi- bitive prices for them, officials of the National and American leagues, in their respective meetings today, pro- posed an amendment to the national baseball agreement that would rein- stitute the draft. Dublin, Dec. 14.-The question or ratification or rejection of the agree- ment arrived at in London between the representatives of the British government and the plenipotentiaries of the Dail Eireann to settle the dis- cord which for centuries has existed between Great Britain and Ireland was debated today'at a public meeting of the Dail and later at two secret ses- sions. Another secret session is to be held tomorrow. De Valera and the members of the delegation were sharply divided on the question. De Valera contended that the treaty should not have been signed without its having first been referred to the ;Dublin parliament; Delegates Griffith and Collins insisted that they and their colleagues had the power invested in them to sign an agreement but not the authority to conclude it. Mr. Griffith, of the dele- gation, asserted that the representa- tives of the Dail Eireann and the British cabinet in this respect were in identical position as each was obli- gated to refer the treaty to their re- spective legislatures for ratification. UNION FORMALS ESTABLISHED FOLLOWING INITIAL SUCCESS Another formal dance for the Union general membership, similar to the one given early in December. will be given somhe time during January. The dance committee, of which Edmund Fox, '22E, is chairman, decided recently that the general interest of the cam- pus in the first formal party warrant- ed the attempt to continue them as regular monthly events.
