to do homage to its unbeaten Varsity.
The spirit which will not be downed is
already gripping the student body,
flushed as it is with he season's vic-
tories, and filled with the desire to
see the Maize and Blue emerge un-
scathed from the autumnal battle
fields.
Reports indicate that large numbers
of alumni, planning to attend the an-
nual homecoming, will arrive in Ann'
Arbor early in order to attend the gi-
gantic pep-gathering. As it is the
second such meeting to be held this
fall, the committee in charge feels
confident that it will be one of the
largest gatherings ever held at Mich-
-igan on the eve of' a difficult battle.

Resolutions Calling a Convention at
Detroit Are Adopted
By Group
Omaha, Nov. 21.-Resolutions form-
lly calling a convention at Detroit,
December 12, endorsing Henry Ford,
for president on a ticket to be known
as that of the "people's progressive
party" and outlining three planks of
a platform to be submitted to the con-
vention, were adopted by the group of
progressives, farmers laborites, inde-
pendents, and liberals headed by Roy:
M, Harrot, national temporary chair-
man of the progressive party, here
today.
Fifteen states were represented ac-
cording to a statement given out by
Mr. Harrot. The names of those who
issued the call, Mr. Harrot said, in-
cluded: F. S. Hammond, Elizabeth,
N. J.; W. Bennington, Cleveland; and'
representatives of the progressive
party in the West and South.
The three planks of the proposed
platform endorsed at today's confer-
ence are: To relieve the distress of
agriculture and industry; (1) the es-
tablishment of a debt paying system
of government owned banks instead of
the private owned monopoly of mon-
ey and credit, the federal reserve sys-
tem; (2) making the transportation
system a means of public service and
not speculative gain, through govern-
ment ownership of railroads, same to
be paid for at a fair valuation in full
legal tender currency; (3), prevent
future chaoticunemployment condi-
tions and future squandering of nat-
ural resources by wasteful and fraud-
ulent contracts and subsidies to mon-
opoli stnd profiteers through the de-
velopment of our natural resources to
be paid for in full legal tender is-
sued direct by the government.
SEINTOR LAD URGES
FORD SHOALS PROJECTI
Washington, Nov. 21.-A statement
urging acceptance of Henry Ford's of-
fer for the Muscle Shoals Alabama
Power and Fertilizer project was is-
sued today by Senator Ladd, republic-
an, North Dakota, who also quoted
from a recent letter by Bernard M.
Baruch, former chairman of the warI
industries board, on the Ford offer.
Senator Ladd said he had sought Mr
Baruch's opinion since the sale of the
Gorgas power plant had changed the
basis of Mr. Frod's offer.
Mr. Baruch believes in the devel-
opment of Muscle Shoals as a great
industrial plant for the manufacture
of nitrogen compounds and fertilizer
for use in agriculture, said Senator
Ladd.
"My own studies have led me to the
same conclusion and my investigation
made during the past summer in
Germany and Norway only the more
strongly confirm my belief in the
possibilities of the great undertaking
at Muscle Shoals for the manufacture
of commercial fertilizers.
"If there was any other offer more
favorable than Mr. Ford's offer, they
would not hesitate to accept. Mr.
Ford's offer is the only one that pro
poses to utilize the opportunities of-
fered at this plant."
Mr. Baruch in his letter to Senator
Ladd referred to his letter of last
January to Graysilver, of the Amer-
ican farm bureau federation in which
he said concerning the Ford offer that
"after all it is the ftxing of nitrogen
that is the crux of the whole contract.
I am quite sure that the contract
means to cover this point, but it
should be made clear."

Poincaire's Representatives Drop Ob-

Freedom
Paris, Nov. 21.-The allies through
their representatives in the ambassa-
dors council tonight agreed to notify
Germany that the interallied military
control mission will resume its func-
tions in the Reich and that the Berlin
government is bound to afford it facili-
ties and protection. They also decided
upon a second communication in which
they noted the formed crown prince's
letter renunclating the throne of
Prussia and voiced expectations that
the German government will see to itJ
that Frederick William faithfully ob-
serves the promises made therein.
Under those conditions the allies will
not insist upon laying hold of the
Prince, but they declare the German
government must rigidly adhere to
its assurance that the return of form-
er Kaiser Willam to Germany will
not be tolerated
This is the first time the allies have
agreed upon a question relating to the
execution by Germany of the treaty of
Versailles since the partition of upper
Silesia was referred to the League of
Nat'ons two years ago.
The unusual sensation of leaving a
meeting in full accord appeared par-
ticularly agreeable to the members of
the council, who came out of the clock-
room of the foreign office radiant.r
Marshall Foch, who usually passes1
the line of reporters with military dig-
nity, stopped to say the cheer word,
'everything is all right.'
The agreement was reached py mu-
Stul concessions on the part of France
and Great Britain. The former with-
drew from its stand that the notes'
should take the form of an ultimatum
and indicate to the German govern-
ment the measures to be taken by the,
allies if the demand were not met.
The British consented to a change in
the wording to satisfy objections on
the part of the French cabinet.
The spirit of give and take which re-
sulted in saving the entante is re-
garded as the best augury for settle-
ment ofthe other question on which
Fr'ance and Great Britain are divided,
although there appears to be some ap-
prehension in French circles as to
how parliament will receive the am-
bassadors'. conclusion.

torium as the. third concert in the
Choral Union series. William Wade
Hinshaw, who presented the "Impre-
sario" which was so successful here
last year, is in charge of the produc-
tion.
Shortly after Mr. Hinshaw organ-
ized the present company for a tour
of the country, the Metropolitan
Opera company announced it as one1
of their new operas for the season.
So great was its success that it was
repeated in, New York several times.
The English version for the opera
was written by the late Henry Ed-
ward Krehbiel, dean of American mu-
sic critics.
The theme of the opera is woven
around the assertion that it is wo-
man's nature to flirt. The efforts of
one man to prove the assertion and
two to disprove it, make up the story,
with the result of a mirthful mix-up,
allowing for unique and even dramatic
situations.
The cast is made up of able Ameri-
can artists who have found great fav-
or with the critics in their presenta-
tion of this Opera. Elliott Schenck,
noted conductor, has been chosen for
the position of musical director. Thej
characters are cast as follows:

Oklahoma City, Nov. 21.--J. C.
Walton failed today in his second ef-
fort to obtain federal intervention
in the action of the State Senate
Court of Impeachment which Monday
removed him as governor.
Judge John H. Cotteral, in federal
court here, reaffirming a ruling hand-
ed down at Lawton, Okla., the day be-
fore the impeachment trial opened,
held that his court had no jurisdiction
in the case and sustained a motion by
George F. Short, state attorney gen-
eral, to dismiss the deposed execu-
tive's suit..
Walton entered an exception to the
decision and announced that he would
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court.
The former governor sought a re-
troactive restraining order to nullify
all proceedings of the impeachment
courts. He alleged his impeachment
resulted from a conspiracy between
the Ku Klux Klan and members or
the legislature.
At the conclusion of the hearing
Walton went to the Oklahoma county
court house and announced that he
expected to be indicted by the district
I court grand jury now in session. He
said he did not know what the 6harg-
es would be but desired to be present
to submit to arrest at once. He
waited for some time but the grand
jury did not report today.
SIGA UELTA CHI PICKS
UPPING NAI NAL ED
"Man's problems of life can only be I
solved through his knowledge of the:
properties and habits of the 'daemons'l
of science," said Prof. H. E. Pulling of 1
the plant physiology department of
Wellesley college in a University lec-
ture yesterday afternoon in Natural
Science auditorium.
"These daemons or spirits of sci-
ence are still the same as those of old.
They have habits, most of which are
permanent. The ancients did not.
know this; therein lies the secret of
our superiority over the scientists oft
old. But this knowledge has been
costly, as some daemons kill the men
who seek to know them better."
The lecture was illustrated by a var-
iety of slides. Among them was one1
that showed the mathematical relation'
1of the spirits as the ancients knew
them: air, water, earth, and fire, and
their intermediates, dry, cold, heat,
and wet. It was formerly believed that
this circle contained some of the
fundamental properties of man's mind.
Professor Pulling said that instead
of calling this the age of industry and
progress we should call it an age of
dissipation of free enrgy. "It is hard
to control the daemons of energy," he
said. "Some escape and some lie
dormant as potential energy.
