London, Sept. 27.-(By A. P.)-Sur-
prise and regret arose in British po-
litical quarters over the decision of
the allied ambassadors conference to
award tIaly the 50,000,000 lires de-
posited by Greece and a guarantee for
Indemnities in the, case growing out
of the massacre of the Italian official
mission near Janina.
It is understood that the Marquis of'
Crewe, British member of the am-
bassador's conference, was at first in-
structed to oppose this award on the
grounds that Greece culpability in the,
affair had not been proved. The Brit-
ish government, however, it is asserted
realizing that it would be the minor-
ity of one against Italy, later decided
for reasons of "diplomacy and expedi-
ence" to modify its attitude.
Political observers are now wonder-
ing whether the permanent court of
International justice to which the in-
demnity question was to be entrusted
will accept the action of the ambassa-
dors.
It is believed the members of the
court may have their own views con-
cerning the merits of the case and that
they have it within their power to
refuse to endorse Greece's check if
they are unconvinced of the justice of
the ambassadors' decision or believe
their own authority is being usurped.

GRADUTES WIN HONOR
IN OAR EXAMIINTIONS i
Lansing, Mich., Sept. 27.-(By A,
P.)-The University of Michigan law
school carried off the honors in the
recent state bar examinations, accord-
ing to a study of the results. Of the
39 university graduates who took the
examinations, 34 passed, or an aver-
age of 87 per cent. In addition, Ed-
win D. Dickinson, of Ann Arbor, pass-
ed all his subjects for the only per
fect score.

The Detroit College of Law stoodt
second with an average o 55 per
cent. 50 of its graduates passing out
of 89. The University of Detroit was
third with 36 per cent. Forty of its
63 candidates failed.
Five of the seven women taking the
examinations passed. As a further
honor to her sex, Catherine E. McIn-
tosh,toftthe University of Detroit, was
one of the, four candidIates to pass all
subjects but one. The other thtree
were Benjamin F. Smith, of the Uni-
vesity of Michigan; Donald J. Mec

results this year were approximately
the same as a year ago. This year
88 out of 206 passed and a year ago

Clear Up
Berlin, Sept. 27.--(Ty A. P.)-Chan-
cellor Stresemann this evening notified
the entente ambassadors of the Ger-
man government's decision to cease
passive resistance in the Ruhr and
Rhineland.
Dusseldorf, Sct. 27.-(By A. P.)-
A Berlin dispatch received here an-
nounces that the German government
has issued orders to the officials in
the Ruhr to resume work and cease
passive resistance.
Berlin, Sept. 26--(By A. P.)-Ger-
many's troubles are just about to com-
mence and the time to speak of "capit-
ulation' has not yet exactly arrived,
for the state of the Ruhr and Rhine-
land is intimately interlocked with the
impending resumption of the repara-
tions lproblem.
This is the gist of a candid statement
by a government leader to a private
audience of Berlin editors who were
frankly told that the government con-
templated the immediate future wit
profound skepticism, if not pessimsnsm
"Our troubles are only just begin-
ning," he continued, "as we have yet
to learn the intense attitude toward
our abandonment of passive resistance
and the other occupying powers are
sincerely desirous of cooperating with
us in the complex task of restoring
order."
The question of whether the admn-
istration of the German railways is to
revert exclusively to German nationals
and whether the evicted officials will
be reinstated constituted only one of
the points on which the government is
not yet in a positon to express any
opinions:
Paris, Sept. 27.--(By A. P.)-Al
orders and regulations issued by the
allied authorities in the Ruhr will be
retained -it was announced in official
circles tonight until the situation in
Germany clears and it becomes known
to just what extent the passive resist-
ance has ceased in respondie to Presi-
ldent Ebert's proclamation.
Today's dispatches from Berlin gave
no basis for any conclusion as to

which way events m1ay turn. The I
allies card only continue to sit and
watch.
FoIrmer Chancellor Guno's repara-
tions offers are regarded by the allies
as having been superceded by the later!
developments, and the Germans will

los~als. If they decide to (d0 s0 thenl

Organization
ITINERARY FOR YEAR
INCLUDES CHICAGO TRIP
Members of the Board in Control of
the University Glee Clubs last night
approved of the annual program sub-
mitted by the club members for the
ensuing university year. The pro-
gram this year is more extensive than
that of any year previous, say the
club members.
This year the club will make appli-
cation for admission into the Inter-
collegiate Glee Club association.
fichgan will enter the competitions
given at Chicago, where 10 mid-West-
ern schools will send their glee clubs
in an effort to determine which club
ill this section of the country is the
best. If the University is allowed to
enter and is fortunate in winning the
frst prize, the association will send
the Wolverines to New York City,
where they will enter the Eastern In-
tercollogiate competitions. All ex-
penses for this trip will be paid by the
association. In the East Harvard,
Dartmouth and all of the leading
schools in that part of the country
will sendl their clubs to New York.
Last year Wisconsin attended the
Eastern competitions. IMichigan did
not enter due to the JHop's coming on
the same time.
Bowen Will Again Direct
The coiing season the Glee club
will restrict membership to fifty.
George Oscar Bowen of the faculty .
of the School of Music will again be
(iretor. Mr. Bowen's policy this
coming year will not attempt to em-
phasize the vaudeville part of the
Club. Acts will be given, but the
music will be of a more classical call-
ber than has been the custom in past
years, and performances will attempt
to attract the concert going public of
Ann Arbor.
Several short trips, besides the
major one to Chicago, are bping
planned. There will probably be one
at Thanksgiving and several week-end
trips. The club will again give two
local concerts. Cs the Opera goes on
its trip (uring Christmas vacation the
Glee club will postpone all its activi-
ties at that time and lend as many
voices to the Opera as will be needed.
Denis-Shalwn Will Be Here
In entering the collegiate competi-
tions Michigan is attempting to bring
back some of the old student spirit in
this activity. Years ago the Glee club
made a yearly trip to the Pacific coast
and even this year several cities on
the coast have signified their inten-
t'ons of having Michigan make the
trip again but it will not be attempted
this year.
The Denis-Shawn dancers will give
another performance here this year
inder the auspices of the Glee Club on
Monday night, November 26.
ILLINOIS EX-GOVERNOR
URGES 'CENTRALIZTION'
White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.,
Sept. 27:-Centralization of all exe-
cutive functions of the federal govern-
ment within designated departments
was advocated by former Gov. Lowden
of Illinois in an address here before
the National Tax association as a
means of lessening the tax burden and
of eliminating the "deadly inertia o
boards and commissions."

Mr. Lowden deprecated the growth
of boards and commissions declaring
that they worked to bring about un-
necessary expenditure and enabled of-
ficials upon them to evade responsibil-!
ity for their acts. He recited the steps!
taken by the state of Illinois during
his administration as governor to cen.
tralize all executive functions In de-
partments and recommended the same
I course for the federal government.
Governor Lowden will be the first
ispeaker on the course of the Orotor-
1 ical association for the University.

PRESENT GENERATION
LACKSMORAL ENERGY
Popular Speaker Charges.Students
Are Controlled by Mob
Psychology
"Leading the Crowd or Following
It" is the subject on which Dr. Albert
Parker Fitch delivered the last of a
series of three lectures at 7:30 o'clock
last night inHill auditorium. He pre-
sented the subject as, applied to the
universities of today and made clear
the moral obligation of the present
generation of students to lead the
crowd.
"The human race is deficient in
moral courage," Dr. Fitch declared,
plunging directly to the heart of his
subject. Most men have a good deal of
physical courage but are afraid to
stand up for their convictions. Two
out of three college students are al-
ways ready for a real stand up fight
but are afraid to foster their own
ideas."
Men Lack Daring
"Everyone is desperately anxious to
stand well in the opinion of his peers.
They do want to stand well with the
crowd. Even a college professor seeks
the approval of his colleagues." This
desire is especially evident in the uni-
versities according to Reverend Fitch.
It takes the form of similarity of
dress and actions among the men stu-
dents to a very marked degree. "Such
students are ruled by mob psychol-
ogy," continued the speaker. "There
is no daring of individuality." It is
simply patterning yourself on your
fellows. It is the law of the gang or
group dominion."
Treating the subject in a broader
sense, Dr.,Fitch went on to say that
"the greatest tragedy of modern civil-
ization Is inability to stand against
the crowd." Many men in history
might have been significant if they
had not been afraid of significance,"
he said. "However if you go against
the crowd you annot have the crowd's
success. If you follow your own con-
victioni you cannot have the worldly
thnigs of the crowd. You must choose
between them."
Need Men of Baring
"There must be boys and girls who
want to, try new experiments in sci-
ence, in physics, in economics and so
on," the speaker continued in a more
hbpeful vein. "Great new forward
movements have come out of uni-
versities such as Lutherism from Wit-
tenberg and they will come again.
Students cannot be satisfied with the
present economic and political hell.
"My generation has neither spirit-
ual insight nor moral energy to solve
the problems," said Dr. Fitch in clos-
ing. "The hope of the future lies in
the present generation, still econom-
ically free. , If the universities follow
the crowd they are breaking their
trust. .And it is-the men who would
give their breath for an idea and their
lives for the'tru4h who are the salt
of the earth."
