(By Associated Press) BRUSSELS, Jan. 19.-Cardinal Mercier is sinking slowly, but with the end not yet imminent. He is devoting what apparently are the last hours of a great life to furthering the cause of the union of churches at which he has been working ever since the war. Gently declining to yield to the doctors' entreaties, the Cardinal spent a goodly portion of the afternoon discussing the prospect with Abbe Portal, missionary priest of Paris, who took part in the famous "Malines Conversa- tions" between Catholic and An- gelican church ecclesiastics in May, 1925.

The lecture, which is the seventh 'of a series ar- ranged in connection with Prof. Kir- sopp Lake's seminar in the moral is- sues of modern life, is arranged by the Michigan School of Religion. The degree 'of 'honorary Master of Engineering was conferred on Mr. Dow by the University in 1911. He acted as electrical engineer to the city of Detroit for three years, 1893-96, and several years later became water commissioner to that corporation. He is now general manager as well as president of the Detroit public utilities corporation. The executive is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, and of the British Institute of Electrical engineers. Through his' extended associations in the business and professional world Mr. Dow is said to be well fitted to discuss the various moral problems which con- front the man of business today. i These lectures have been arranged in order that prominent men in the various- business and professional fields may express before the students of the School of Religion and other interested persons, the moral prob- lems peculiar to their field. The ques- tions suggested by the lecturers are later discussed in detail by the mem- bers of Professor Lake's seminar. PRES, LITTLE ADDRSSES CHAMEROf COMMERCEI President Frges Idealization Of Ann Arbor Childhood Emphasizing the need of an "or- ganized reserve interest", toward which we can bend j part of our ef- forts all of the time, President Clar- ence Cook Little, speaking before the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, urged that the childhood of Ann Ar- bor be idealized as a common interest between the city and University. "Ef- forts made for the benefit of the adults die when those adults die," he said, "but efforts made in the behalf of the future generations are self- perpetuating." President Little spoke of how the children grow up in the public schools, then go through' high school, and finally come to the University. He gave this principle of holding an "organized reserve" of interest as one+ of the ideals underlying the educa- tional system. He likened this idea to the winner of a foot race, who of- ten is trailing until the end of the con- test, then, calling on his reserve strength, sprints ahead and leads at the tape.E Rev. Henry Lewis, of St. Andrews Episcopal church', appealed for a wid- er study and knowledge of great re- I igious problems. The appalling ig- norance of the public on religious matters gives rise to one of our great- est problems, he said. Mayor Robert A. Campbell was oastmaster at the luncheon, at which men from various professions spoke, considering what the Chamber of Com- merce could do in the way of coopera- ion with those professions. Briand Faced By Cabinet Problem r HELD MILE RECORD Was Member Of Team Which Bung Up Michigan's Fastest Four Mile Relay Time Grant T. Hicks, '26, former Varsity trackman, died Monday afternoon o an acute malignant disease at his home in Tacoma, Wash., according to a telegram received from his father Hicks entered Michigan unknown to track authorities and developed into one of the best milers ever to run for the Wolverines, and, had he been able to continue his running, would have been the leading Conference miler this season. He holds the field house record for the mile run with the remarkable time of 4 minutes and 23 seconds, and he won the mile run in the Cornell meet a year ago. Hicks ran at the anchor position on last year's four mile relay team. In the Illinois Relays a year ago, he won the four mile relay for his team from the best of the middle western milers. At the Ohio Relays last year, in addition to helping the four mile relay team win the relay, he took first place in the mile run. Hicks' most spectacular race oc- curred at Cleeland, a year ago. Hee was running anchor in an invitation medley relay and had as his chief opponent Conger of Iowa State, a Conference record holder. Hicks ran second to Conger the whole distance and beat him by inches in the last few yards. The four mile relay team on which Hicks ran at the most important p-1 sition holds the fastest time ever run by any Michigan four mile relay team, according to Coach Farrell. His last race was the four mile re- lay at the Penn Games last year, where theeMichigan team took third. Shortly after this meet he underwent a severe operation. He tried to get back into condition for the Conference championships last June, but Coach Farrell would not allow him to run, and from that time until the end, his health gradually failed. The members of the track team are sending flowers. CUDMNCHOOSES TOPIC FOR LECTURE ON FEBi2 Speaker Selects "Dawn Of Now Day" As Subject Of Address Dr. S. Parkes Cadman ,noted preacher-lecturer and head of the American Federation of Churches, has selected "The Dawn of a New Day" for the subject of his lecture to be given Feb. 2 in Hill auditorium as the seventh number of the season course' of the Oratorical association. This speaker has been compared to Henry Ward Beecher as a preacher and lecturer by those who have heard him speak and by those who are per-' sonally acquainted with him. Dr. Cadman is now pastor of one of the largest churches in Brooklyn, N. Y., and has held important pastorates in greater New York for the past 30 years. He was born and educated in Eng- land and came to the United States in 1890 to begin his career. His academic and theological training were received at the Wesleyan college, Richmond, London. At present, the strenuous duties of his large parish do not per- mit him to give much time to his lec- ture work, and officers of the associa- tion feel fortunate in securing him to lecture before an Ann Arbor audi- ence. WASHINGTON.-Japan is the chief Asiatic market for American electrical equipment, with British India second and the Philippines third. Dr. F. S. Onderdonk, instructor in the College of Architecture, will in- terpret a picture ?dialog entitled "Is Life Worth While" at 4:15 o'clock to- morrow afternoon in Alumni Memorial hall under the auspices of the newly organized Tolstoy league, a society which he has been instrumental in 'founding at the University. The dia- logue will deal with the philosophies of Leo Tolstoy, the Russian writer. Dr. Onderdon's recent lectures on world peace have been attracting con- siderable notice in Detroit and Chi- cago newspapers. He was a student at the Technical university of Vienna throughout the late war, and was one f of the few American students who were allowed to pss a doctor's de- gree in that country while the United States was at war with' Austria. Since returning to this country last fall he has been lecturing on sub- jects ranging from world peace to evolution. (Continued oi Page Two) PROFESSOASMIDOY WILLTAL1,K TO DAY First Irish Minister Wili Discuss "Present Policies Of Irish Free State" STUDIED IN EUROPEI Prof. Timothy A. Smiddy, minister plentipotentiary from the Irish Free State and professor of economics at Cork university, wil' speak at 4:151 o'clock this afterndon in Newberry Hall auditorium on the subject "The Present Policies of the Irish Free1 State." Professor Smiddy is the first min- ister of the Irish Free State to the1 United States and has been in Ameri- ca on ministerial business since 1924, although he first came to this coun- try in 1922 when he was appointed by Michael Collins, one of the fore- most figures of the revolution, to pro- mote trade relations between Ireland and the United States.f Many articles from different news- papers, magazines and periodicals ap- I pearing at the time when he first as-c sumed his ministerial duties state that Professor Smiddy was exceedinly wellr liked in Washington and won the re- spect and friendship of the official world at- the seat- of the American government. One article states: "Of t unassuming and attractive manner Professor Smiddy has borne with dig-c nity the long period that precededr recognition in a way to command thet fullest admiration. Of high scholastici attainments, refined and cultured, hisf diplomatic bearing will d much tod raise the prestige of Ireland and bring to her side the powerful weight ofa American sympathy in matters ofc mutual interest between the two na-e tions."p Professor Smiddy was educatedI abroad in France and Germany andr has traveled extensively. I-e took I honors in mental and moral sciences 0 in the Royal Union in Ireland. Hisd knowledge of Irish industry is by not means confined to the theoretical study of the classroom, he having had some business experience before he took a professorship.! Miners Vote To Continue Strike!( (By Associated Press) SCRANTON, Pa., Jan. 19.-The twin spectres, privation and bankruptcy, are stalking through the hard coal III fields as the miners tighten their belts and the merchants inventorys their wares for an indefinite prolonga-t tion of the anthracite strike.H Although keenly feeling the pinchi of need, the miners at three mass f meetings in the last three days voted to continue the strike, now in its fiftht month', rather than accept the arbitra-I tion of what shall go into a new waget contract. TREASURY ALARMED By Raising Tax Rate To 13 Per Cent $43.000,000 Addition To Revenue Estimated i(By Assocated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Sen- ate compromise tax reduction bill was looked upon with hopeful but skepti- cal eyes today at the White House and at the Treasury. It was stated at the White House that, while President Coolidge was in favor of retirement of the federal gov- ernment from the field of inheritance taxation in favor of the states, he was not prepared to state whether the time had come for repeal of the federal levy, as proposed by the bill. Compilation of estimates on the total reduction provided for in the bill, meanwhile, brought a quick alarm from the treasury when it was dis- closed that the measure would make a slash of almost $400,000,000 in the nation's revenues this year. The Sen- ate finance committee was immediate- ly called into session, and, dividing on party lines, the Republicans voted to increase the corporation tax to 13 1-2 per cent, effective upon enact- ment of the bill into law. The committe previously had voted to increase this levy from 12 1-2 per cent to 13 per cent on taxes paid this year and to 13 1-2 per cent next year£ to offset the loss of revenue expect- ed from the proposed repeal of thet capital stock tax. By making the rate 13 1-2 per cent immediately Chairman Smoot estimated that this would yield $43,000,000 additional revenue this year and cut the reduc- tion total of the bill to $352,000,000.3 Even this excess over the $330,000,- 000 limit approved by Secretary Mel-t lon, was frowned upon by the Presi-I dent, who felt that, while the treasuryt might stand the additional reduction,I difficulties might be encountered if there was a depression in business which would result in a decrease int government revenues. Senator Sim-I mons, of North Carolina, ranking Democrat on the committee, announc- ed that he would propose to the Sen- ate that it meet any tax reduction above the treasury surplus by amend- ment of the sinking fund provisions rather than through increases in taxes. Senator Simmons proposed thatX the amount of the sinking fund, creat- ed to retire the public debt, be in-1 creased from 2 1-2 per cent of the do-I mestic debt to 3 and 1-2 per cent and that the cost of this be cut by apply-a ing to it the payments received froms foreign nations on account of war t debts.7 This would increase from $253,000,-a 000 to $350,000,000, the annual amount? of the sinking fund, Senator Simmonsr estimated, but of this sum, about $175,- 000,000 would be provided by debt I payments, and he estimated that thet public debt could be retired under thef present program and at least $75,000,- 000 additional be allowed for tax re-l duction than calculated by thee treasury. i OHIO STATEPORFSSORSe DENY COMMUNIST CHASE Comnittee Is Told That Student Body t Has Improved Morallyg COLUMBUS, 0., Jan. 19.-FourF Ohio State university professors whot have been accused of being commun- ists today denied before the univer- sity trustees' investigating committeeb that they ever had any connection with communism or the slightest lean- ing towards socialism.

HIL. COOLIDGE REIAINS SILENTi REPEAL OF FEDERAL LEVY ON SPECIALIST SAYS U.TS. LAGS IN TREATMENT OF CANCER I( (By Associated Press)I NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-America lags far behind Europe in at- tacking the problem of cancer and should organize more of its resources to combat the disease. This was the assertion of Dr. George A. Soper, managing di- rector of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, tonight ' at a dinner of the society at- tended by many of the foremost cancer specialists in America. England leads in research, while Franceand Switzerland are foremost in establishing clin- ics to treat the disease in its I early stages, when it can be I treated successfully, Dr. Soper ( said. FRAYER DISCUSSES ITAIANSITUATION Calls Mussolini"Creation Not Creator" Of Fascist Ideals; Movement But One Step In Nation's Growth PEOPLE IN "EPIC MOOD" "Benito'Mussolini should be consid- ered as the creation, not the creator, of Fascism and its ideals," according to Prof. William A. Frayer, of the history department, who spoke to the Circulo Italiano last night on "The Present Political Situation in Italy." The Italian people, he said, are in an "epic mood," which will produce great things if the Fascist government is successful. Professor Frayer emphasized that the revolutionary movement in Italy should be considered as but one phase of the long struggle of Italy to gain the position of a first rate power. The Italians of today remember the Italian contributions to civilization, yet they feel that they have been patronized by other nations, and that they are only a third rate power.. Fascism he characterized as an at- tempt to bridge the gap between Italy's aspirations and her political position. He mentioned the Constitu- tion of 1850, saying that it was a com- bination of the influence of England, France, and Belgium, and that it has never functioned perfectly. Speaking of Italy's part in the war, and of the necessity of bargaining for what she could get out of it, both before and after, Professor Frayer said that "Italy came out with as clean hands as any other allied nation." In the peace negotiations, however, Orlando, in a select group of four statemen,' had little chance to get much for Italy. The disillusionment of the Italians" at their small gains from the war, he said, led, with Bolshevist influence to a communistic rising in the country. This, however, was replaced by the actions of the Fascisti, who were, like most Italians, not communistic, but intensely nationalistic. ProfessorFrayer mentioned the in- teresting comparison to be made be- I tween the cultivated D'Annunzio, the first Fascist leader, with the former "good blacksmith", Mussolini. The latter, by his great personality, clev- erness, and ability as a "stage mana- ger," has been able to cow the talian people into submission to a verysmall group of men, under his leadership. The people, he asserted, have no lib- erty; they have sacrificed their free-' dom of speech and their liberty of the press. When it comes to the point where the most able writers, men of real worth to the nation, are quieted, the matter may become extremely dan- gerous. "Fascism should not," Professor Frayer continued, "be censured for not being democratic. Its very aim is to set aside democratic institutions. if it were democratic, it. would not be Fascism.

The Administrative board considered Adams' case yester- day, according to a statement made by Barton last night, and declined to act favorably upon his petition for re- moval from the warnedst because of his deficiency in academic work. Robert J. Cooper, '26M, acting pres- ident of the Union, who was elected to i that office temporarily by the board of directors last Saturday, pending the disposition of Adams' case by the Ad- ministrative board, will hold offce un- til the election tomorrow noon. Coop- er isralsoevice-president of the Un- ion, representing theMedcal school. According to directors of the Union last night, the new election to the presidency tomorrow will- be perman- ent for the remainder of the school year. The five vice-presidents of the Union, or any male student on the campus, is eligible for the office, al- though a student familiar with the ac- tivities of the organization is desired, it was stated. Adams was placed on the warned list of the literary college Dec. 17 and automatically became ineligible for participation in campus activities. Learning that the Union president in- tended to appeal to the Administra- tive board for special consideration of his case, the board of directors took no action in the matter until last Sat- S urday when Cooper was elected tem- porarily. Had he succeeded in being removed, from the warned list, Adams would have resumed his office in the Union. Union officials emphasized the fact last night that the investigation of the organziation, which was instigated by charges of gross inefficiency with- in the Union made in- petitions circu- lated about the campus early In De- I cember, will be continued as usual, notwithsanding the recent develop- ments in the executive office. The re- port of the investigation committee will be made public as soon as it is completed. The special meeting of the board of directors tomorrow will be held at 12:15 o'clock.
