Headed by Count Volpi, the rmn-
mission from Romut combined several
of the more or less marked char-
acteristics of their predecessors. Their
country is poor, this they admitted,
but they wanted to pay. y aying
the cards face up, they made settle-
ment of the debt based on ability to
pay; they wished to drive no bargain.
nor to hide the true conditions of
affairs.
Working from facts, the negotiators
were able to decide upon something
like this: the debt, with accrued l-
terest, of $2,133,000,000, in round
numbers, is to be funded on a 62 v'ear
basis, the annual payments of which.
according to the "standard" terms of
the British agreement, would amount
to about $70,000,000.
With vivid recollections of previous
Senate action on treaties and the like,
we wait to see what they can do to
what appears to be the only possible
debt settlement. The question of ac-
ceptance on the other side causes lit-
tle worry. It is vitally important that
this business of debts be settled, the
sooner the atmosphere is cleared the
better. Unsettled debts offer no little
cause for irritation, besides assisting
the blockade to complete reconsitruc-
tion.
Looked at from this angle, the at-
titude displayed on both sides in pre-
paring this tentative settlnement of
the Italian debt was nothing short of
beautiful-a fine precedent for further
negotiations.
CHICAGO.ON-TI-S'
Bringing the ocean to Chicago, six
tramp steamers have doked at the
Lake Michigan port with cargoes frozei
Europe and South Anerica. Their
success should be an advertisement
of the possibilities of the St. Lawrence
waterway system. Others will follow
these pioneers, but no vessel of more
than 3,000 tons can navigate the Wel-
land canal. The locks on the upper1
St. Lawrence are another barrier toI
large ocean ships. Chicago will never
be a big ocean port until these condi-
tions are remedied.
Ex-Governor Lowden, of Illinnia,
said recently that the Great Lakes
have tributary to them the "greatest
agricultural area on the continent."
He pointed out that almost two-thirds
of the agricultural wealth of the na-
tion is within this area. It produces
75 per cent of all the wheat and 85
per cent of all the iron ore in the
United States. This territory would
be opened to world commerce by mak-
- ng Chicago a world port.

in which the first verse opens with a
request that the male students pro-
gress toward victory. It then statesi
one of the oldest dictums of football,
following which it expresses the Uni-
versitys optimaitie forecast us to the
result of the contest. Then come sev-
eral ejaculations, followed by a plea
for victory for the institution.
The chorus opens with a request
that the first string players advance
toward the goal-posts It then stiates
that they should under no circum-
stances give way in the slightest. The
next line begs them to elevate some
sort of unknown devise, at least in
Iootbal. Following this it requests
thm to parade toward victory for the
Sniversity of Michigan antl two op-
posing colors of the septrum. It
then continues with the statement
that the singers are on the players'
account, in fact, that they are there
to(1 (chr themu.!
It closes with the encouraging
statement that the singers have no
fear for the players; another ejacula-
tion, and the repetition of the slang
for first eleven.
Now on the whole, you must admit
that that is not exactly pregnant witl
deeply emotional or logical meaning.
Still it's a good fighting song.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, Nov. IS, 1925.-
Miss Effie Snorp who is positively
no relation to the laten Dean Zilch, at-
tended her first class (a Polish quiz
section) amid the howls and cheers
of tle caumpus in general. Occupying
three seats in the middle of the front
row, Miss Snorp acconplisihe a total
eclipse of the instruct or. Other co-
eds at the rear of the room were
much agitated, and plan to report this
to the dean. Miss Snorp announced
that she would not try out for te
football team, despite the many let-
fcrs ]'T"!Ivd by her from ost.
"I rmbt Eli1e to marry Harold
:ralnve, but I wont play football my-
sel," she said.
Miss Snorp had her first blind date
m townt1 lst night. The lucky man
called for her in a Ford, ut on meet-
ing her, abandoned the vchicle
promptly. On walking down toward
the iMlaj, Miss Snorp was forced to
inake a detour because of the En-
gineering arch. "Why do they make
th1e streets so narrow here?" she de-
ma adcd. To which her complan ion
-iv a.foced to admit "that the ini-
,ersity was not designed to accommno-
dat e persons of her caliber."'
Further discourses upon Ann
Arbor's tiniest co-ed will follow
as soon as the three hundred and

tizes herself.

"iiESIJIE UNDIER TUE ELMS"
A review by Kenneth Wickware.
"When ye kin make corn sprout out
o' stones, God's livin' in yew. They
wa'n't strong enuf fur that! They
reckoned God was easy. - They laugh-
ed. They don't laugh no more. Some
died hereabouts. Some went West an'
died. They're all under ground-fur
follerin' arter an easy God. God
hain't easy."
In the small, meanly furnished bed-
room of a New England farmhouse.
Ephraim Cabot thus recounts na part
of the story of his early struggles-to
his newest wife, Abbie Putman, whom
he has married because "a hum's got
t' hev a woman. .. It was lonesome
too long. I was growin' old in the
spring-growin' ripe on the bough."
He pictures for her the bitterness and
the unceasing toil of his first years
of combat with the stubborn forces of
nature, the stones without number
which he has "hefted" from the al-
most sterile fields to make fences, how
the three sons, Simeon, Peter, and
Elben have slaved their very souls out,
"plowin', hayin', weedin', milkin','
learning to hate their father for his
relentlessness; how two wives have
already died-"though they were good
workers, and meant well enough." But
they were without understanding, and
Ephraim has never found solace for
his lonesomeness.
"She died," he says. "After that it
wa'n't so lonesome fur a spell. I lost
count o' t e years. I had no time to
fool away countin' 'em. Sim an
Peter helped. The farm growed. It
was all mine! When I thought o' that
I didn't feel lonesome."
And so he runs on-monotonously-
in his harsh, grim voice, putting sim-
ple words together laboriously, as if
he were building one of his stone
fences. But Abbie does not listen to
what he says; she is thinking of Eben,
on the other side of the partition, the
"dead spitin' image" of old Ephraim,
but "soft, just like his Maw." Eben
is thinking of Abbie; the faint sound
of her voice coming through the wall
makes him half rise from bed, his
arms outstretched, nu ti, at the mem-
ory of his hatred for her, lie shrinks
back with a curse. At their meeting
in front of the house one day, Abbie
has said, "Ye can't. lt s agin nature,
Eben. Ye been fightin' yer nature ever
since the day I come-tryin' t' tell
yerself I hain't purty to ye."
At the last, Eben and Abbie are
taken away by the sheriff, to answer
to the law for the murder of their
baby, a son, who, in Abbie's first
greed, was to win the farm for her-
fearlessly, protesting their love for
each other. Simeon and Peter, the
older sons, have long run off to the
gold fields in Californi-a. Old Ephraim
is alone.
"Purty good fur yew," lhe says, when
Ebl)en declares his intention of sharing
Abbie's guilt, "Waal, I got t' round
up the stock. Good-by."

TILE LAST CHANCE
The Interfraternity council ha;
agaLin "acted" on the question of fra-
ternity dances, this time with credit
able effect. The plan adopted, whil(
perhaps not as satisfactory as ii
nmight be, is at lerast something defi
nite and tangible, and can be made
into a real, workable pact,-if it re-
ceives the proper support from the
members of the body that passed it-
tlie respective fraternities and the
mermbers thereof.
Conditions are nothing short of dis-
gusting when such a resolution be-
comes necessary, when men who arc
supposed to be in training for the
future leadership of the world must
be forced to act like rational, re-
spectable beings. There is no word
that will adequately describe the sit-
nation if this plan, adopted by the
representative body of the fraternity
group on the campus, is not supported
by the various houses.
The council has not provided any
intricate system of policing to enforce
this latest rule, and good, common
sense should repel any such sugges-
tion. Yet if the motion passed and
accepted by the council in regard to
fraterity parties is not given the
nctual support -that it deserves, some
method of patrolling the parties will
have to be found and adopted.
The Uiversity and the individuals
who mtk-o t up cannot afford to allow
week-cid booze parties at any recog-
nized house on or in any way con-
rccted Yitli the campus. The fratern-
ities have been given an opportunity
to eradicate them themselves, and
have outwardly accepted. If the plan
mldopted does not meet with immediate
success, the fraternities will have no
grounds for objection if all semblance
of self-gbvernment is taken away
from terim.

WHERE WEALTH ACCU7fLATES
(Boston Evening Transcript)
Bishop Thirkield, of the ]\ethodist
Episcopal Church, expressed, at a.
meeting of the board of bishops otr
that church in Buffalo, the other day,
the opinion that America is "traveling
the path along which Route staggered
to her doom." Our country, he said,
is "beastly rich," andl our weal,!t
everywhere engenders such "softness,
luxury, lawlessness and coirulption"
as will surely ruin us, unless we
arouse a keener degree of religious
impulse and forget our craze to make
money. Is the right reverend bishop
quite warranted in his gloomy fore-
bodings? Is wealth the sole cause of
our crime wave?" Bishop Thirkield's
position entitles him to a respectful
consideration of his main charge. Bu1
is our country's great wealth driving1
it to the devil? Somehowv the present
course of American life does not ap-
pear to prove that. Ia a general
way, to be sure, abounding wealt
conduces to evil doing. Where riches
abound, tenmptation allounds. (:a

'The Sound 'Basis
for S uccess
in the Bond Business
ANYcollege men are influenced to choose
the bond business for a career because they
count on a ready-made clientele among wealthy
friends. That is a weak basis upon which to
make so important a decision. Experience will
disillusion them.
A man must know his business to succeed in the
bond business, as in any other. Men of wealth
are good enough business men to demand
competent service in return for their invest-
ment patronage. The man who is, first, qualified
for the bond business-then well trained and
well-informed, will find that his progress is
little dependent upon friendship.
College men who obtain employment with
Halsey, Stuart& Co. are immediatelygiven prac-
tical training in the fundamentals of the busi-
ness before they are assigned to actual work.
Thus they begin with a good foundationwhich,
together with accumulation of experience, de-
velops ability-the only sound basis for success.

We have prepared a paper which gives much informa-
tion about the bond business, of pertinent interest
to those who might be considering it as a career.
We shall be glad to send you a copy upon request.
