RUSSiAN THINKS

I - A
SELF-GOVERNING PEASANT BOD-
IES NOTED BY FORMER
AMBASSADOR
ARE INDEPENDENT OF
MOSCOW DOMINATION
Lenne Sees Moderate Element as Foe
to Control by the Present
Regime
(By the Assoclated Press)
Paris, Sept. 26.-Boris A. Bakhme-
teff, lately Russian ambassador at
Washington, is sailing on Wednesday
for America, after an extended trip
of inquiry and observation which led
him to believe that the present bol-
sheviki government of Russia is being
slowly displaced from below by the
growth of self-governing peasant com-
munities.
"The peasant populations of the old
communities and 'volosti' of Russia,"
said ,. Bakhmeteff, "have succeeded
in establishing independent govern-
ment, using the local soviets, but
transforming them into what ap-
proaches local zemstovs. These peas-
ant groupings have populations of five
to 5,000, with the local administration
In the central village ('volosti') com-
posed usually of the well-to-do, ma-1
ture and .mre capable peasants, who
atrechosen for the committee by some
sort of 'elect on. These committees
administer justce, do the policing and
take care of all local functions. The
strength and efficacy of thir govern-
Ment varies from place to place. It is
usually stronger where the population
is better off. Sometimes the govern-
ment is in the hands of a local 'patri-
arch,.''
Evolution from Below
"These local rudimentary govern-
ients have sprung up by hundreds
all over Russia. They are an evolu-
tion from below. They are not what
one could call a revolutionary oppo-
siton to Moscow, but they are really
independent of Moscow. The commun-
1st commissaries have been pushed
out and forced to leave. The same
things have happened to the younger
rufflan elements that went about rob-
bing and terrorizing. Many of these
undesiables have been killed.
"The central authorities are prac.ti-
cally powerless to combat this growth.
Collectors sent out by the soviets to?
take the taxes in kind often do not
return. Something happens to them.
They simply disappear. It is impos-
sible to send troops against these for-
mations. These local authorities are'
not in 'open' rebellion against the so-
viet regime. Moreover, these com-
munities are so numerous that the'
central authorities would have to
maintain garrisons or 'conauer' the
whole of the land. Lenine has long
since realized this new and uncon-
querable foe of communism-the peas-
ant.
Fail to Win Peasant
"All the so-called 'new policy' has
been an attempt to 'win' the peasant.
It has not worled. The peasant dis-
trusts the bolsheviki official .and will
not co-operate. The peasant has grim-
ly entrenched himself, leaving the
central power to shrink :and die. The
sources of the central power are con-
sequently drying up month by month.
The left, or extreme, wing is again in
control at Moscow. But there is a vio-
lent feud between the factions within
the party itself.
"The situation in certain respects
may be compared to the French revo-
lution at the time of the fall of Robes-
pierre. Robespierre was overthrown
by the more moderate elements in the
convention, who saw no future for
France in Robespierre's sterile ideas

and terrorism. Something of the same
sort may start the next phase of
events in Moscow."
M. Bakhmeteff concluded by saying
that the basis of the present peas~ant
movement was the right of property
and respect for law. The intellectual
and the cultured, forced by circum-
stances, he said, are leaving the cities
for the country, where they become
the leaven of the new movement. The
railroads are being run by the old of-
ficials and personnel, while the soviet
commissaries for local administra-
tions are slowly disappearing, he said.
It was his opinion that the present
Russian situation would be met by the
local governments and the railroad
men.

GRADS IN NEWS WORK,
Five Members of Class of '2 Get
Positions on Papers
Five members of the graduating
class of 1922 have entered the field
of journalism, and from reports all
are succeeding admirably in their
work.
Brewster A. Campbell, managing
editor of The Daily last year is on the
staff of the Baltimore Evening Sun.
With him is Byron Darnton who was
a member of the class of '22 but who
left before graduation.
Gerald P. Overton is holding a posi-
tion with the United Press in New
York.
Two women graduates who are at
present on newspapers are Agnes

Urbana, Ill., Sept. 26.-Total regis-
tration figures, as checked over last
night, reached 7,087for the two days
of registration, or 616 more than had
registered in the same period last
year. There were 4,532 who finished
registration yeserday.
Unusual smoothness was the out-
standing characteristic of the day's
work. There were few long lines and
the checking was done rapidly.
Detailed figures of °registration by
colleges and classes will be available
later in the week.
Registration in the Library school,
yesterday morning showed a larger in-
crease over last year than any other
school. Last year the number enrolled
was 25 juniors and 16 seniors, while
this year permits to enter have al-
ready been issued to 26 juniors and
16 seniors. Although this is a small
increase in actual numbers, it is a
large increase in the per cent of stu-
dents registered in this school in for-
mer years.
Madson, Wis., Sept. 26.-A loss in
enrollment in every college and school
in the university but, the College of
Letters and Srience, the course in
Home Economics, and the School of
Music was shown by registration fig-
ures announced- yesterday by the reg-
istrar's Wfflce.
A total registration of 7,150 through
Thursday shows a gain of only two
over last year's figures on the same
day. The smaller registration on
Thursday of this year is accounted for
by the fact that Thursday was the first
day of classes in 1921, while It was the
second day this year.
A gain of more than 400 students
in the College of Letters and Science,
a gain of 17 in the course in Home
Economics, and a gain of 12 in the
School of Music make up for losses in
other departments of the university
organization. The course in Com-
merce lost more than 200 students this
year, ,while the College of Engineering
lost more than 100 students.
The exact figures for this year are
as follows:
College of Letters and Science,
3,891; Course in Commerce, 956; Med-
ical School, 153; School of Music, 116;
College of Agriculture, 486; Course in
Home Economics, 247; ,College of En-
gineering, 1,095; Law School, 179.

Smart Set Has Work of Two Forier
Michigan Students
Appearing in the current number of
the Smart Set magazine are two stor-
ies written by former Michigan men.
They are "Exhibit A," by Harold H.
Armstrong, '05, and "Harold C. Mills,"
by Byron Darnton, ex-'22.
Harold Armstrong, author of "Ex-
hibit A," has just published, "For
Richer, For Poorer," which bids fair
to become one of the season's suc-
cesses. Under a pen name he has also
published two books, "The Groper,"
and "Zell." The latter novel was con-
sidered by critics to be one of the
outstanding works of 1921.
Darnton, author of "Harold C.,
Mills," was a student in the school
of journalism, p. member of The Daily
staff, and is at present a member of
the staff of the Baltimore Evening
Sun.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The drastic
temporary injunction order asked by
Attorney General Harry M. Daugher-
ty against shop crafts strike leaders,
was put in -force today by Judge
James H. Wilkerson, without any of
its effectiveness being modified.
Judge Wilkerson signed the order
after Attorney Richberg, defense at-
torney, said he was unable to suggest
any' form of order which would "give
legal sanction to, the exercise of
an authority which we respectfully
urge is not within the power of the
court."
"To call this proceedings in its
method and result 'due process of
law' to justify the denial of consti-
tutional rights of the defendants by
this judicial finding based on exparte
affidavits, seems to me disregard of
the fundamental laws as well as ex-
ercise o da power specifically denied
to. the federal courts by an act of con-
gress passed in order to prevent the
very deprivation of liberty and prop-
erty which is here accomplished,"
Richberg said.
Following the short plea by de-
fense attorneys' that the government
petition for an injunction be denied,
Judge Wilkerson denied their motion
to dismiss, added the phrase "with in-
tent to further said conspjracy" in
several paragraphs and signed the
order.
The date for hearing of the de-
fendants not heard'in this action was
set for 10 a. m., Oct. 5.

CHASe SINK .,DECLINES
NOMNTO OSENATE
MAKES FINAL STATEMENT IN
REGARD TO REPRESENTING
TWELFTH DISTRICT
Senator qharles A. Sink of Ann Ar-
bor has declined to accept the nomi-
nation for the state senatorship from
the twelfth district, it has been
learned.' Although he has been urg-
ed repeatedly by staunch Republican
supporters to re-accept this offer;
Senator Sink has made his final state-
ment regarding the nomination. In an
interview Senator Sink remarked
that, "it is merely a gentleman's
agreement which restrains ma from
accepting the nomination again.
Nothing would please me more than
to remain in the service of this dis-
trict; but I must step aside for the
present and put my own support back
of another deserving candidate."
The twelfth senatorial district com-
prises two counties, namely, Oakland
and Washtenaw. By an agreement
arranged several years ago by Repub- 1
lican leaders of both counties, the nom-'
intion for senatorship is to be made
in one county for not more than two
consecutive terms. As it happens,
Washtenaw county has now had the I
nomination for two terms, Senator
Sink being the last.
Had there been no candidate in
Oakland county for this term, Sena--I
tor Sink would have automatically ac-
cepted; but this county has named as
its candidate the Hon. Andrew B.
Glaspie of Oxford. Through the ne-
cessity of Senator Sink's having to
refuse the' nomination, the University
will undoubtedly lose an influential
friend in the state senate, but it is
hoped that he will again consent to
run when the opportunity returns.

CHINA ARRANGES
BIG BOND ISSUE
(By the Associated Press.)t
Pekin, Sept. 26.-The cabinet Mon-
day authorized a $10,000,000 bond issue
by the government. The issue goes1
to the Chinese bankers of Pekin for
absorption in the face of the strenu-
ous opposition of Cantonese parlia-
mentarians, who declare the author-
ization unconstitutional. . .
Premier Wang Chung-Hui said to
a representative of the Associated:
Press that at best the loan can be
considered only a means of giving thet
Pekin government a breathing spell.,
With funds to meet immediate
pressing demands, every effort will be1
made to bring about a comprehensive1
adjustment of the country's finances,
it was declared. This task can be ac-
complished, said Premier Wang, by
reorganization on a gigantic scale.
Anything less, he declared, would only
plunge the country into further bank-
ruptcy.
The proposed bond issue, which will
net the government a little more than
$8,000,000, is being taken up by the
bankers with the understanding that
the proceeds shall be devoted to ad-
ministrative purposes and the pay-
ment of police and troops maintained
within Pekin.
BOTANISTS WORK
DURING SUMMER
Many members of the botany de-
partment have been working through-
out the summer in the interests of
the profession. Prof. Bradley M. Davis
visited Yosemite National Park and
Grand Canyon. During his stay in the.
west Prof. Davis taught in the Marine
School at Stanford University.
Prof. Harley H. Bartlett, director
of the botanical gardens, attended the
botanical research camp at Woods
Hole, Mass., and also included a visit
to Washington in botanical interests.
Prof. James B. Pollock will teach in
Hawaii this year and Prof. Bergman of
Hawaii will take his place here.
Profs. Calvin H. Kauffman and John
H. Ehlers studied fungus diseases of
the forest trees in the Montana and
Idaho sections, also collecting plants
for the herbarium.

All De Molays, whether members of

asked to register at the main desk in
the lobby of the Union. The first
meeting of the year will be held a
week from today at a place which
shall be announced laterin The
Daily, according to Horace Sodt,
'26, acting master councilor of the
chapter. The first meeting of the year
will be of the nature of a get-together,
meeting mainly for the purpose of
getting acquainted.
Lucian Lane, '25L, who was elected
master councilor of the chapter for
the first term of the present school
year, may not return to school in
which case Horace Sodt will assume
his duties.
The Order of De Molay was organ-
ized last year, and had three success-
ful terms, spending the last two prin-
cipally in installing chapters in Mich-
igan towns. Other trips are planned
for this year.

Prof. Robert Craig, assisted by
Prof. Russell Watson, both of the de-
partment of forestry, have been con-
ducting a land survey in all counties
in the upper peninsula as far west as
Marquette county for Marquette uni-
versity, Marquette, Wis.
The object of the survey was to
find out the exact condition of the
forest cover in this area. In order
to accomplish this, the party re-ran
enough of the land office section lands
to determine accurately the location
of each 40 acre parcel of land. Fol-
lowing these locations, a 10 per cent
cruise was made by running two
strips, each a chain wide, through
each 40 acre lot.
Data Compiled on M1ip
The data thus obtained for each 40
acre tract was compiled on a 'large
map, the final result being a map
showing various kinds of swamp land,
hardwood land, burned over land and
marsh areas. In addition to actual
forest cover, special topographical
features, such as rivers, lakes, and
roads, were recorded. When open
marsh area was encountered, speclat
analysis of the soil was made'to de-
termine the depth and the quality of
the sub-soil. Areas with standing tim-
ber were given a value according to
present stumpage rates, the quality
and quantity of the timber being
taken into consideration.
In addition to the two men men-
tioned above, the party consisted of
two foresters of the class of '22 and
four men from the New York State
Rangers' school.
It is the intention of Marquette uni-
versity to continue the work next
summer.
Valuable Timber Found
According to Professor Craig, a
survey of such intensity has seldom
been conducted except where it was
known in advance that valuable tim-
ber existed. As a result of such a
survey, Marquette university will be
able to establish a permanent forest
policy which will be carried on for a
period long enough to grow a stand
of timber. The forest crop will be
harvested when mature timber is
found and where improvement cut-
tings will benefit the timber left to
tgrow.
'"What is needed in Michigan," said
I Professor Craig, "is a definite, far
1reaching policy which will restore the

Chicago, Sept. 26.-Figures . fur-
nished by the examiner's and record-
er's offices point to an unusually large
enrollment of students in all depart-t
ments of the university. In almost
every case an increase is reported
over the number entered upon the uni-
versity's books at this time last year.
Especially is this true of students en-j
tering with advanced standing.-
An increase is reported in the num-I
ber of students coming in from high
schools; 496 men and 365 women, a
total of 861, is to be compared withI
the 458 men and 353 women, a total+
of 811, admitted last year. With the1
applications for admission still coming1
in at a rapid rate, it appears that the
class of 1926 will be one of the largest
in years.
Men with advanced standing to the
number tof 260 have been admitted
this year, as against 114 last year,
and the women number 149, while 163
gained admission in 1921. This year's
total exceeds that of last year by 132.

to Major Brooks, the Michigan boys
upheld the traditions of the Univer-

they put into. their work created a
most favorable impression both on
the part of the students and the in-

Contributions from any student in
the University are welcomed, and all
manuscripts will be carefully read
