Briand, the French foreign minister, today in a private consultation of the two statesmen. The consultation stands out as the biggest single event since the opening of the security con- ference. The two leaders stole quietly away, from Loca-rno, and meeting at a se- cluded spot on the north shore of lake Maggiore, had a frank talk.or. Europe's problems as a whole and especially how best to consolidate the peace of Europe. The meeting of the conciliation marked by an expression of the de- termination of both statesmen to do everything humanly possible to ban- ish the Franco-German war spector has injected a new ray of optimism into the political atmosphere despite the fact that it did not result in the fashfoning of a formula whereby France can guarantee in a special way the territorial integrity of Poland land Czecho-Slovakia, her allies. That problem will require a con- sultation of the cabinet at Paris and Berlin, for France and Germany wilh find it difficult yielding from their original position without the support of their home governments and home parliaments. The conference itself, which mfrt for only an hour today, achieved no substantial progress. The spokesmen of the various delegations admitte l this but they qualified it with thc' declaration that fresh suggestions were forthcoming concerning the il-' cessity of a clear cut understanding that compulsory arbitration must be the guiding principle of the Rhine pact.. Compulsory arbitration is a feature of the Geneva peace protocol the funda-. mental principles of which the French are eager to keep to the fore inflex- ibly and which many other nations a the recent League assembly also ap- proved as the only sure safeguard of world peace. 1 F i ; 11( BIN, R1"l'HIVEN, PHI LS, AND 4TS]' A FSON (1E A YA RDS WORK VARIES (A'oi fxy, 1bolany, Zoology, and Hlistory Are I1eloartm111en#ts Included; 110lowsitips Granted To defray the expenses of further s'tudy and experimentation in their respective fields, three professors and one instructor in the literary college have been allote research grants to C (OJI:ItTIT I?

Trueblood, of the public speaking de-! partment. They are Michael Ramsey, Geoffrey Lloyd, and Patrick Devlin. All three men have taken, an especi- ally active part in practical politics. Raymond L. Alexander, '27L, Ly- man J. Glasgow, '26, and Elmer Salz- man, '27L, have been chosen to rep,, resent Michigan in the debate. The men selected have taken an active in- terest in public speaking throughout their college career, and have repre- sented Michigan as varsity debaters in previous contests. The subject as previously announc- ed will be: "Resolved: That This House Pities Its Grandchildren." The proposition is such that a variety of subject matter can be injected into the debate and a tinge of humor can be added without reducing the effec- tiveness of the speakers. Issues will be decided upon at a later date. The debate is being held under the auspices of the Oratorical association. CYRAND DE BERSERAC' SELECTED AS FAVORITE C Of C.

In the open session which was per- functory but for a last minute objec- tion which sent the report of the world peace committee to the resolu- tions committee for amendment. The only business perfected was selection of Philadelphia for the 19261 convention and the awarding of the 1927 meeting to Paris. The remain- der of the time was devoted to ad- dresses by army and navy officers and messages, from the American Red Cross and Knight of Columbus. The aeronautical committee, theI Legion's first such body, fought heat-1 edly all day over whether to recom- mend endorsement of Col. Mitchell's caustic critique of the nation's aerial defense. A resolution in which Mitchell's name was not mentioned al- though one point he has urged, reor- ganization of the pational defense under one cabinet officer with sub- divisions of equal importance for land, sea, and air was finally adopted. It was the product of the pen of Reed Landis, America's second war ace and son of Kenesaw Mountain Landis. It was on that point that the all day fight was centered. No other change was made in the proposed resolution as drawn last Monday. The committee's action did .not dis- pose of the Mitchell matter which from the first day of the legionnaire's gathering has been a subject of para- mount interest. The concessions of the Mitchellites seems to be that not all that Colonel Mitchell has said should be recom- mended, but that hie should be praised by name for bringing to the Ameri-I EN(14-INEEI{S TO PICK C('IJAIIIMAN Tills YEAR TO CHOOSE 14 MEN I ate forNaming o MI embers Advaitced On Recommendation Of Last yYear's Comuittee ing a course of over a mile, return to its starting point.
