ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1922 PRICE IVE CENTS FRANCE ACCPT PRINC IE Of U.Sl SUBAINE PLAN ITALY AND JAPAN EXPECTED TO JOIN ENGLAND IN APPROV- AL OF PROPOSAL DEFINITION OF TERMS DELAYS FINAL ACTION Would Take Immediate Effect Between Five Great rowers of the Conference (by Associated Press) Washington, Jan. 3.-The American proposal to prohibit use of submarines against merchant vessels, now the pre- dominant issue of the arms negotia- tions, has been accepted in principle by France, but her delegates have de- ferred finial approval pending a discus- sion of the precise language of the declaration. Italy and Japan to Approve British acceptance previously has been given, and although neither the Italian nor the Japanese have receiv- ed final instructions tonight; there were indications that neither Rome nor Tokio would interpose serious objec- tions if the proposal received France's full approval. The exact nature of the French res- ervation was not revealed, but the im- pression was gathered in some quart- era that it might concern just what conduct would be expected from mer- chantmen in view of their immunity from submarine attack. What Is "Merchant Ship" Should that point be raised, an inter- esting and many sided discussion might result for in several quarters there has been apparent a tendency toward the opinion that the terms "merchant ships" will be strictly de- fined with express stipulations as to whether merchantmen are to be per- mitted-to arm and whether it is to be permissable to disguise warships as vesse s of commerce. The French delegation, however, in making known their acceptance in principle, has emphasized that they not only agree to the original propos- al of Elihu Root that the new provis- ion on submarine warfare becomes ef- fective when all nations have agreed to it, but also to the amendment of Arthur J. Balfour which would make the provision immediately effective as between the five great powers. Other Acceptance Awaited At the same time the French have accepted the additional Root declar- ation under which any submarine commander violating the rules of in- ternational law would be liable to /trial for an act of heresy. In regard to this also acceptances still are awaited from the other foreign govern- ments. It is possible the deelgates' instructions will be sufficiently com- plete, however, to' permit a meeting of the naval committee of the whole tomorrow. CONGRESS FACES FLOOD of LEGISLION IN 19722 ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO DIS- POSE OF THE NEWBERRY CASE SOON (By Assolated Press) Washington; Jan. 3.-Congress will start 'upon the 1922 legislative pro- gram tomorrow faced with the pro- spect of being kept steadily at work unitl late in the summer. In addition to debate over the rou- tine appropriation bill, there confronts the senate the probability of one fight or a series over new international agreements resulting from the Wash- ingotn firms conference. ,President Harding is understood to be prepared to forward all of them to the senate for consideration once the arms confer- ence has concluded its work. For the first time, house and senate. will deal with the measures supplying money to all governmental functions in budget form. They are slated to be started through the house Jan. 5, when the treasury appropriation is taken up. Under the program laid down by Chairman Madden of the house ap- propriations committee, a money bill would be put through the house each week until all are turned over to the senate. The senate will begin Work with three agreements respecting import- ant matters pending on its legislative calendar. The first of these, the resol- ution decalring Truman H. Newberry,' Republican, to be the duly elected sen- ator from Michigan is to be acted on with speed early next week. F. P. GLAZIER, '80, DIES SUDDENLY Frank P.

He was paroled after serving less than half that term, and his sentence was .simultaneously com- muted. HINDU STATESMAN* TELLS OF INDIA DPSY FATAL TO 'BUILDING PROGRAM FORMER TRESRROK RGESN SrnWvasa Sastri Glorifies Major Harrison Soule, Connected with University 25 Years, Dies at Age of 89 SUCCUMBS AFTER PERIOD OF RAPIDLY FAILING HEALTH Major Harrison Soule, treasurer of the University for 25 years, until he resigned in 1908, died early Mondayl morning at his home, 720 south Uni- versity street, at the age of 89. Drop-1 sy was given as the cause of his death. Had Many Friends Major Soule was known to Ann Ar- bor and University people as one, of the most lovable and interesting men in the community and incidents areI told of his career, of his humor and his popularity among all those whol worked with him or knew him. Originally a New York state man. Major Soule came to Michigan: and was educated in the Marshall schools, later spending two years at- tending Albion college. After spend- ing a short time in business he went into the employment of the Michigan Central railroad which after three years he left, at the outbreak of the Civil war, to raise and drill the Al- bion Rifle Rangers. This organiza- tion later became Company I of the1 Sixth Michigan Infantry. Major Soule was first a captain, and later promot-I ed to major. He was mustered out of the army in August, 1865. Became Treasurer He then returned to 'the employ of the Michigan Central, where he re- mained until 1883, when he accepted the position of treasurer of the Uni- versity. A gradual failing of health for the past two years led up to the death of Major Soule, but his rapid dec'ine sta'ted last summer, and he had been very ill for some time before his death. He is survived by his widow, a daughter, Mrs. L. L. Clark of this city, three grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Clements Library, Dental Addition and Physics Building Are Underway 80 HOUSES WILL BE RAZED ON EAST UNIVE4RSITY AVENUE Much progress hastbeen made in the past two weeks on the new building program. With ground being broken in differentrplaces about the campus preparatory to the erection of new buildings, a greater Michigan is fast becoming a reality. Work on Clements' Library Great strides have been taken in the work on the Clements' library. Over 20 feet of the old Engineering build- ing were razed in a few days, four class rooms and six offices being torn down in the process. At present a steam shovel an a number of work- men arebusy removing the ground staked off for the site of the new li- brary, and it will be but a short time before all will be in readiness for the laying of the foundation. Addition to Dental College Plans fot the Dental addition have been completed and excavation has be- gun. The Buildings and Grounds de- partment of the University has been given charge of this part of the work and will lay the foundation, after which estimates will be obtained from different architects and the contract let for the construction of the build- ing proper. Contracts Being Let Work on the new Physics building will soon be started. Borings have al- ready been made and construction companies approached regarding es- timates. A contract was given last week to the Ann Arbor Asphalt Construction company for the razing of some thirty houses on the University property across the streets from the present Medical building, prior to the erection of the new Medical building on this ground.

CRITICS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE TO OPERA Future of His Native Country in Lecture PREDICTS DOMINION FORM OF GOVERNMENT IMMINENT "The Political Situation in India" was the subject of the lecture given by Srinivasa Sastri, Hindu statesman and orator, and India's delegate to the armament conference in Washington, last night in Hill auditorium under the auspices of the Oratorical associa- tion. Has Representative System The speaker stated that the present government is but onetyear old and is at present a machine representative of the people but up until the time of the adoption of "The Government of India 1,Act " of 1919 by the British parliament, the Indian government was distinctly not representative. The speaker then told of the vastness of his native country and told of the di- vision of the country into provinces which correspond roughly to states in this country. Each state or province has its governing body and then the whole is loosely controlled by the cen- tralized power which is under the 3ritish government. Expects Dominion Form Soon Interesting to many was the state- mnent by Mr. Sastri that he believed dominion government to be very near at hand for India which would put that country in an equal plane with Canada and Australia. However, the speaker stressed the point that India would never attain the status by en- couraging a feeling of hatred towards Englandf and declared that his people could never attain absolute independ- ence by brute force because the na-1 tives could not oppose so formidable a power as the mother country. Great Future for India The keynote and summing up of Mr. Sastri's lecture was that there is a great future for India as a domin- on of the British empire when that status is attained and that that future will, come about through the co-opera- tion of the natives and the govern- ment of Great Britain. Mr. Sastri is of the Brahmin caste in India, that is those of the priest- hood, and received a very liberal edu- cation in his native land. He is spending his lifetime in working for she upliftment of India and is a thoughtful and eloquent critic of gov- ernment. He is at present a member of the Viceroy's council. BASKETBALL SEATS STILL PLENTIFUL Tickets for basketball games will be open to the public at large after Jan. 10, until which time they will be sold to students only. With the return of the students from the vacation the tickets have enjoyed a slightly better sale, say the officials in charge of the distribution, but there are still a number that have not been disposed of. These will be placed on general sale after the first conference games have been played. Officials of the Athletic office state that the proposed boycott of basket- ball by some of the students was un- fair and unwarranted in that Michi- gan has done everything in -athletics in the way of improvements by the proceeds from the contests, and has not depended upon contributions and notes for large amounts from its alumni and students. Since the inaug- uration offbasketball the association has seen fit to grant admittance by. coupons from the athletic books, a pol- icy not obligatory, much to the con- trary of what some have thought. This year that policy was shown to be inadvisable. The two groups of tickets are now on sale at the Athletic office and students may purchase both of the series.

Financially it was the most successful opera ever put on by the Union, the advane indications based on its reception in Ann Arbor being fully carried out. Meets with Great Success The success of "Mae It for Two" is declared to be a still greater ac- complishment by Union officials be- cause of the new territory in the Middle West that was covered, a num- ber of towns that had never been vis- ted being on the list. The Middle West is now declared to be opened for the annual operas of Michigan, since the enthusiastic reports of all who saw the 1922 show can be expect- ed to advertise the University among the states of the Middle West. Critics Applaud / One Cincinnati paper declared that "nothing better has been seen in this city" and that "the University of Michigan has made a place for itself in Cincinnati." A Grand Raptds pa- per said that "it surpassed all operas of previous years." Another critic, in Lima, Ohio, said that "professional producers have much to learn from the men who directed the Michigan production." All other reviewers along the route of the opera were en- thusiastic, the costumes, scenery, and dancing receiving the greatest share of praise. Coipany Entertained The members of the cast, choruses, and committees received an uninter- rupted series of entertainments throughout the two weeks from alum- ni in the towns visited. Dances in the afternoons and receptions and dances in the evenings gave proof of the hos- pitality of Michigan graduates and their friends toward Michigan's repre- sentatives in the student opera. NATIONAL SOCIETIES MEET IN JOINT SESSION Members of the American Philolog- ical association and the Archaeolog- ical Institute of America were en- tertained by the University in a joint conference Dec. 28-30 in Ann Arbor. Dean J. R. Effinger, of the literary college, delivered the welcoming ad- dress Wednesday evening, a smoker for the men was held on the same evening, a large luncheon for the vis- itors was given at the Union Dec. 29, followed by a reception that evening at Betsy Barbour house. Practically all leading American universities were represented at the meeting. A number of papers were read, including ones written by Prof. Campbell Bonner and Dr. J. P. Har- land, of the Greek department, and Prof. F. W. Kelsey, of the Latin de- partment. A large number of visitors attended the exhibition of Greek and Coptic papyri which was purchased for the University by Professor Kelsey last year. During the meeting, officers for both oragnizations were elected, the Arch- aeological institute electing Ralph V. D. Magoffip, professor of violin at Johns Hopkins and a Michigan gradu- ate of the class of '02 ,as their presi- dent, and Prof. F. G. Allinson, of Brown university, being elected pres- ident of the American Philogical as- sociation. Dr. F. E. Robbins, assistant to the President, was responsible for the success of the meeting, acting as chairman of the local committee on VICK SELECTED ON IMYTHICAL ELEVEN BY WALTER CAMP PLAYS STERLING GAME IN LAST YEAR ON VARSITY SQUAD PLACED AT CENTER IN CHOICE OF HONOR TEAM Makes Tenth Man to Be Picked from Among Yostmen for High Award Once again Walter Camp has chos- en his mythical All-American football team. Once again the name of a Michigan man adorns that list of eleven. In choosing "Ernie" Vick, Wolverine star of the past four seasons, for the center position of his mythical 1921 All-American eleven, Camp has paid "Ernie" the most singular honor, in a football sense, that any college foot- ball player is capable of receiving. Position of Honor When the "dean of football critics" places a man on his mythical eleven, the stamp of that man's superiority over the hundreds of other college men playing at the chosen positio upon the public mind is the only nat- ural and immediate sequence. His opinion commands respect in the foot- ball world. Not-only is the man se- lected honored but in no small way is the glory reflected upon his coach and school. Coach Yost prides himself in hav- ing had such an adept pupil as Viek. To hear him speak of "Ernie" and to watch that broad, characteristic smile of his come into play as he does so would leave little question as to that score. g "Camp made no mistake in select- ing Vick for his center," said the veteran Wolverine football mentor in making mention of the 1921 mythical All-American football team, yesterday afternoon. "Ernie" is the most ac- curate passer that ever put a ball into play. Under pressure he was as de- pendent and reliable as at any time. Any sort of a player can show up well while the sun shines, but it takes a real player to stand up during- the storm. Defensively "Ernie" is a won- derful tackle. Fourth Year on Team "He is a good diagnostician-yes, he is wonderful in diagnosing plays and his judgment in sizing up the oppos- ing attack is most uncanny. 'Ernie' is one of the boys wiho has played upon four Michigan teams, that is including the S. A. T. C. eleven. He came from Scott High school of Toledo, where he played at half, but in casting about for much needed center material Vick was selected." This, in short, is the tribute which Coach Yost paid his now famous pro- tege. "Chuck" Webber, '15, Visits City Charles C. Webber, '15, more famil- iarly known to Varsity baseball en- thusiasts of those days as "Chuck," spent a day in Ann Arbor enroute to Denver, Colo., where he is pastor of the North State Community church. Mr. Webber is chairman of the edu- cational committee. of Denver Labor college and conducts a course in trade union problems in that institution. Mrs. Webber, nee Ardelle Perkins, '17, is secretary of the Denver Labor col- lege and conducts courses in public speaking. Interurban Schedule Changed Important changes were made yes- terday in the schedule of the D. J. & C. railway.. East bound express cars will leave five minutes earlier, the new time being 7, 8 and 10:05 o'cldck in the morning, and every two hours,, thereafter until 8:05 o'clock at night. The first eastbound limited is the only one effected, leaving five minutes ear- lier at 6 o'clock. Westbpund limited cars will leave one minute earlier ,at 8:47 o'clock, and every two hours un- til 8:47 o'clock at night. Westbound express cars leave two minutes later, at 9:50 o'clock ,and every two hours until 9:50 o'clock at night. DAILY TYPE CHANGED In order that The Daily may I render the campus a more com- plete news service it has been I decided to print the paper in I eight point type on a nine point base, instead of in eight point type oi a ten point base which was formerly used. This means j that while the type will be of - the same size as before there will I be less space between the lines which will mean more actual I reading matter in any given I amount of space than was possi- I ble hitherto. This innovation will add approximately 30 inches I 1 reading matter to the average Is- I sue of The Daily. I *1
