S., AND THE PROTOCOL The refusal of Japan to sign the League of Nations protocol providing for trbitrati r by the Ite national court at The iihgue ofdiues ri ngl between nations appears to have end- ed temporarily at least hopes for world agree nentC on 't is imprtailht question. Added to this,' the fact that the United States, not being a mem- ber of the League, ha not been ;a party t the agrement would seem to foredain its failure. With these two world powers refusing to co- operate, no pli for arbitation gould hope to be sucessfui, even so well- founded a scheme as the one consid- ered by the Lea'gue. The arbitration agreement was to be part of the general disarmament plan whichsis being fostered by Pre- mier Ramsay McDonald of, England and Premier Edouard Herriot of France and proposed that decisions at The Hauge should be final upon questions of international law. France 1ts wished that arbitration be purely arbitrary and the pact has been drawn along that general line. It has been proposed, however, in the course of the conference that the definition of an agressor should be a nation which will not arbitrate or accept ran arbitral decision.- In the statement made to the League, Japan insisted upon the crea- tion of concilation jurisdiction which would permit of a review of the case in case the losing party appealed to the international court. This provision was opposed by Australia in the pre- liminary discussion and hence was not made a part of the protocol sub- mitted for approval. Various reasons have been advanced for Japan's action, the most commonly accepted being the fact that inter- vention by this nation in China's revo- lution may be deemed necessary in the near future. Japan is evidently not certain what the consequences would be if she were bound by the decision of the world court in this matter and in several other important controver, sies confronting her at the present moment. It is understood that the test case will be an hypothetical appeal to -the court to determine the legality of the United States ifimigration law. In case the court upheld the law as of lurely domestic concern, under the provisions of the plan Japan could not ;appeal and if she ever resorted" to war she would automatically be considered the agressor. These are] ser-ious. -questions. for. -the Nipponese, nation, touching the very foundation of her relations with the outside world, and it is not to be wondered that there is hesitation on her part to It is hardly to be expected,. o course, that United States would approve the plan for arbitration. The predominating feeling in this country seems to be opposed to iactive co- operation with anything actuated by the League. The very name of the organization carries with it a taint o party prejudice and controversy. But why should this be so? Few people would deny that the plan is a good one and would ultimately work to- ward the establishment of world peace,' and It is the opinion of officials th't the whole scheme would be endanger-' ed by the failure of the United States to cooperate in the matter of refus- ing to sel supplies and to lend monley to a nation judged by the Leagueto' be an aggressor.; Just because the p an is proposed by the League is no a son for ourignoring it. The gove i- ment should take steps which i1. lead to our passive approval and ulti- mate accord with the project. Japan has turned down the pact; the United States will probably take no faction. Bpth nations should realize their responsibility in the matter of promotion of world security and con- sider seriously the protocol of the League of Nations which has the ap- proval of the majority of the world and minor powers. STUDENT SKIDDERS The year's first serious automobile accident occasioned by reckless driv- ing on the part of a student has o- curred, and it is not yet definitely certain whether, or not the woman who was injured will recover. Two things, it is charged, were responsible for the accident-violation of the speed laws on the part of the student, and a car unequtpped with brakes. Some students have a way of con- sidering themselves above all restric- tions and, in vehicles which sho ld have been relegated to the junk heaps along with the 'one-horse shay,'' they tear around the Ann Arbor streets unmindful of common safety. Anyone of a number of those who operate their automobiles in this manner might well have been responsible for last Thursday's catastrophe. That similar accidents have not already oc- curred is due to good fortune and happenstance. Now that a serious accident has occurred something will be done to stop reckless driving. Steps have al- ready been taken in this direction by a combination of Ann Arbor organiza- tions. Students may as well fall in line with the movement now as well fs later, before their speed carries ,them, to far. I r CAMPUS . OPINION. VARIETY LOSES IT SPICE 'The student bodyof. the :Universit does, as a rule, laud to its friends and relatives upon every occasion, te'beauty and magnitude of the Uni- versity buildings. It' is very common,' on days of big games and other fete days, to see the student walking about, showing his Mother, Sister, or Sweet- heart the Union, Hill auditorium., the Science, building and all the other great structures thatgrace our cam- pus. This year there will be the new Literary building and the Lawyers' Club to feast the eyes of our annual sightseers. These buildings add two 'more to the already pleasing of ar- chitectural achievements of the Uni- versity. That the variety' gives to our University life a spice of the most pleasing type, no one will deny. However, upon one of the busiest corners of our "University City," there is in process of construction at the present time a building (it debauches 'the name) of the worst possible type. Is it some strange trick of fate that places a two million dollar symphony in stone on one corner of our campus and ia cheap, cement block, "ham- burger joint" on the other? Is the stu- dent body of our school going to allow this mismatching or architectural treasures and structural atrocties? Is 'it not time for the student body to rise up and declaim the inroads of com- mercialism upon our campus-the place that should be an inspiration for great scholastic achievement by its structural beauty? We, as students, are not able to build all the beautiful buildings that we might likt to but we can make manifest our feeline against the building of ugly, public eyesores. A building permit was issued by the City of Ann Arbor for the construc- tion of this insult to the public eye. At the city limits, every thoroughfare is posted with a sign which states to 'the wide, wide world that Ann Arbor; is the place where Commerce and, Education meet. They do. But 'how 'they meet.

(CURTAIN) musIc AND DRAMA TiHE MATINEE MUSICALE The Matinee Musicale is to open its season Wednesday, October 8, when Mr. Reber Johnson, the assistant con- cert-master .of the New York Sym- phquy Orchestra, and Mr. and Mrs. 'Guy Maier will give a violin and piano recital in the Michigan Union ball- room at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. Reber was at one time a stu- dent in the, School of Music inder Henri Ern, while Mr. Maier, now the acting head of the piano department during the absence of Mr. 'Lockwood, is well known for his two-piano re- citals with Lee Pattison. Mrs. Maier is also a player of ability, and is a former teacher at the David Mannes School in New York city. The program which will be an- hounced shortly, will include the Kreutzer.sonatia and a Brahm's group. In accordance with the general tcheme recommended by the National Pederation 'of Music Clubs and adopt- ed by many of the state clubs, the Matinee Musicale has adopted a study course for its program ' this year. The course will be illustrated by the usual number of programs offered to all its members, while there will be in addition a number of meetings , for the active members alone. The Matinee Musicale year book I for 1924-25 is now off the press, and will be mailed to the members in a few days.

This in- cludes many things, admitted and otherwise, but among these there are a few outstanding advantages. Athle- ties, it is assumed, is one; fellowship, the boosters claim, is another; there are some dozen of the more brilliant professors that make their classes in- teresting; and there is also-admit it or not--there is also music. Every year the School of Music or- ganizes two concert courses, which in 'their- thirty odd years have in- cluded every artist of reputable cali- be'. The first, the Choral Union series,' is always subscribed to year after year 'by the majority of the faculty and many of the townspeople. The question for te average student is not whether he should avail himsel: of such an opportunity, but 'whether by any stroke of good luck he can buy, beg, borrw, or steal a ticket. The extra C ncert series, however, is -much newer, and is not so over- whelimingly patronized. The course this year includes Sousa's Band and the Kibalchich Russian Choir as two of the numbers-both interesting attrac- tions, which ybu can regard as you choose-but the important feature of the series is the three appearances of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The course resolves itself, fundamentally, into a symphony season. It would seem unnecessary to ex plain that the Detroit Symphony un- der the direction of Ossip Gabril- owitsch has become one of the great- est orchestras in the country-cer- tainly Mr. Gabrilowitsch is quite un- eqtalled--but somehow a complete local appreciation is strangely absent. Perhaps it is the old story of a pro- phet in his own land. 128 in30 .

NEWS ITEM: New York, Sept. 25.-Fedeml action against the Broadway success "What Price Glory' as a violation of the national defense act was talked of by the U. S. district attorney's office to- night. . According to members of the Fed- eral attorney's staff the general (Bull- ard) and the admiral (Plunkett) com- plained that the drama with its pro-' fanity-besprinkletl portrayal of life with the Marines abroad during the world war "curtailed enlistments and in that way violated the national de- fense act." It would certainly never do to have it get about that the Marines were accustomed to curse in the trenches.. Mr. Jason Cowles.?

With the new style of bobbed hair However, Mr. Gabrilowitsch's tri- umphs in Europe this summer should add another striking proof of his un- disputed ability. Following the last concerts given in Detroit last April he went immediately to the Pacific coast where he gave ten piano recitals with great sucess. Returning to De- troit the latter part of May, he was informed that the King of Roumania had bestowed on him a decoration making him an Officer of the Crown. In June Yale University gave him the Honorary' Degree of Master of Arts-and by the way, isn't it strange that the University of Michigan has never thought of that? Late in June he sailed for Europe with his family, where he was shortly invited to conduct two concerts of the Berlin -Philharmonic Orchestra, and this was followed by an urgent in- vitation from William Mengleberg to conduct a concert of the famous Con- cergebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and to appear as solist at another. He played his first concert in Ber- lin on September 10 and according to private advices received in Detroit his conducting caused a vieritable sensation, the press pronouncing him as one of the few very great con- ductors of the world. On Sunday night, September 21, he made his debut a sa conductor in Amsterdam, and a cable from Mr. Mengleberg's secretary reported that you want it. . : t. Work Save guaranteed. 15% Open ELvenings.
