Sweeping Progress s6 sweeping was the day's progress- tt little save perfunctory details're- ,in tonight to bring all the diverse ks of the conference to a simultene- s conclusion. Some of the more op- aistic among the delegates were. pre- Aing that the final wind up would we within a week. [n its two day incursion into the berian field, the Far Eastern con- ttee contented- itself with listening and spreading on the 'conference cords, detailed statements of the re- ective views of the Japanese and nerican governments. Japan's de- ration disclaimed territorial designs Russia, but set torth the reason for lding troops'in eastern Siberia, and e reply of the United States reiter- ed the desire that there would result permanent infringement upon Rus- n integrity. Naval Treaty Settlement The last difference over prfhelple in e naval treaty, relating to the fort- cations status quo in the Pacific, s swept away in informal consulta- ins among the chief delegates after has help up completion of the treaty xt for many days. Under the settle- ent, the British plan of defining a ;itude and longitude boundary for e status quo zone is replaced by the panese suggestion that instead'there a list, by name of the islands which, ist not be further fortified. The panese agreed that the Japanese lnin group should be iicluded under e provision. A further cause for delay develop- , however, when the Japanese plan- otentiaries declared their desire to bmit the fortifications article in ex- ,t phraseoloegy to Tokio for approval. ie Tokio ofilcials already have agreed all but the finer details of wording d a favored reply is expected within SECOND ISSUE, OPF WHIMSIES ON SALt' "Why not a lyric to cinnamon toast and tea, a limerick to an olive-nut sandwich; an ode to omelets?" is a sentence to make one laugh and think a little, taken from "Cakes and Cream," by Lois Whitcomb, one of the prize winning essays from the Whim- sies' contest, which is published in the second issue of the year on sale today in the book stores. "Road-Sides"4 by Forman Brown, the other prize win- ning essay, in contrast to the whim- sically humorous tone of the first, is a dreamy consideration of country roads. Best among the contributions of poetry are "Last Hours" by Marjorie Rosecrans, "The Organ Grinder" by Ruth Lechlitner, and. a "Road Song" by Rosalie Dunlap. "The Organ Grinder," written in the style of Va- chel Lindsay, is perhaps a little long to sustain intreest. "Far Hills" by Stella.Brunt, although it expresses a good idea, is weak in places. Two unusual articles are "A Flower of Old Japan" by Clara Eastlake and "A Coyote Hunt with Russian Wolf- hounds" by Wessel Smitter. The for- mer is a translation from the Japanese Sof one scene from a longerdrama that is widely read in Japan. The article by Wessel Smitter is a vivid descrip- tion of a coyote hunt, and should be interesting both to native westerners and to those who have never seen-such a hunt. Included in the contents is a short story by Adelaide Adams, and poems by Margaret Walker, Irene Kingston, and Darrell Dwight. NOTED LECTURER AND WRITER ON ORATORICAL PROGRAM FOR JANUARY 28 PRODUCTION UNDER E. MORTIMER SHUTER IS PROFESSIONAL IN TONE: Blotting out the "blues" From the final blue books, the Union annual Spotlight vaudeville under the direc- tion of E. Mortimer Shuter, scored a marked success with its variety and originality of unique acts last night in Hill auditorium. James J. Johnson, '23, started the show off at high speed with his clever songs and pieces of humorous patter. His work of professional pitch was supplemented by William C. Kratz. '24E. ' Johnson's "My Baby Blues" made a particular hit' with the audi- ence. In the second act, Arthur H. Holden, LIT -STUDENTS MAY TAKE HONOREXAM '24, and Howard B. Welch, '24, suc- deeded in getting the lively approval of the house with their chinning, sing- ing and dancing. Holden's singing of "Molly 0" was followed by a dance, while their total of three dances of originality and their patter placed theni on a par with the artists of the first act.. Kratz accompanied the two and Welch's work as the.demure but sophisticated "country girl" recalled to mind the favorites of "Make It For Two." Appealing to the audience with their close harmony, the "Harmonizers Ex- .raordinary,"'Paul Wilson, '23L, Thom- is I. Underwood, '23L, Albert F. Schir- mer, '22E, and Don C. Reed, '23, brought out the enthusiastic plaudits f their audience which called them back again and again with yells and whistles. Myron E. Chon, '23, ssisted by Paul Wilson, '23L, and their able synco- pators presenteela musical act of great merit. "'Celeste" from Verdi's "Aida," was blended into "Gpysy Love So'ng," followed by "Gypsy Blues, and 'Stars." "Mike" Chon again display- ed hi finertechnique, color, and gen- eral mastery of th% saxaphone in his playing of "Tiger Rag." Phil Diamond ,t thepiano carried his listeners away with "Koddin' on the Keys." The whole production should be commended for its high professional tone and good judgment of the tastes ofsa college audience. Mr. Shuter .and ,he committeemen under the general, -'hairman, William W. Michales, '22, deserve credit especially for the smoothness of action in the staging and other details necessary for such success.: ARIED PROGRAM Of SPOTLIGHT PLEASES AUDIENCE PLAYERS PRESENT PROGRAM TONIGHT Members of the Players club will present the two plays "Neighbors," written by Zona Galeand "The Wond- er Hat," written by Goodman at 8:15 o'clock tonight in Sarah Caswell Angell hall.
