GENEVA, March 9-A sudden con-
Rultation between Sir Austen Cham-
berlain, British foreign secretary and
Chancellor Luther and b)r. Strese-
mann, of the German delegation, im-
mediately after receipt of the news
from Paris that M. Briand had agreed
to form a new cabinet, was the most
striking development tonight in the
League of Nations council meeting.
From German sources emanated
the renort that in order to remove the
council from the hands of the signa-
tories of the Rhine pact and eliminate
possible discontent of other members
of the league on the grounds that the
Rhine signatories were assuming too
much responsibility, the British for-
eign secretary was anxious to arrange
an unofficial meeting between the
members of the council and the Ger-
mans.
Chamberlain Forsalls Crisis
In the meantime the assembly lead-,
ers headed by Sir Austen Chamberlain
succeeded in staving off embarrassing
complications by obtaining immediate
adjournment of the sub-committee
which had been appointed to investi-
gate Germany's application for league
membership. The rules require the
presence of the German delegations to
respond to any questions to whether
Germany has been fulfilling her in-
ternational obligations.
"In view of the fact that the Ger-
mans have expressed their determi-
nation not to enter the league until
assured they can enter the council
with permanent membership unac-
companied by others, the leaders did
riot wish to put Germany n the posi-
tion of having to refuse to appear be-
fore the investigating committee."
Interest in the unsettled council
crisis wandered momentarily tonight
to the question as to whether Geneva
will be definitely selected as the home
of the League of Nations. The as-
sembly must vote credits for the erec-
tion of the proposed assembly hall
but the still unsolved conflict between
Switzerland and Russia over the Vo-
rovsky affair had caused some of the
delegates to consider whether the
league should not be established in a
communty which would enjoy clearly
defned extra-territorial rights.-
The problem came up at a confer-1
ence between Lord Cecil and repre-
sentatives of the British dominions.
A delegate of one of the dominions
suggested the desirability of the cre-
ation of a definite territory similar to
the District of Columbia which would
render impossible the interferences of
conflicts between the country which
was the seat of the league and other
nations.}
PARIS, March O.-Aristide Briand
who went to Geneva, Saturday a
beaten man will in all probability re-
turn to the League of Nations dis-
cussions at that place Thursday as
premier of France again, for the ninth
time.
M. Briand has accepted President
Domergue's invitation to form a ca-
binet and he has alreday advanced
so far as to choose all his ministers
except that man who is to take charge
of the delicate financial situation.
President Consults Ilerriot
The cabinet crisis resolved rapidly1
today. President Domergue ex-
hausted all sources of information by
noon and immediately summoned
Edouard Herriot, former socialist
premier to offer him the premiership.
The leader of the radical party be-
lieved that this was merely courtesy
to the head of that party and he
promptly declined. He recommended
that M. Briand be asked once more to
form a new government. M. Herriot
told M. Domergue that it was neces-
sary to send Briand back to the coun-
cil and the League of Nations with
all the authority he had when the
Locarno pact was negotiated, and the
president of the republic passed this
idea on to M. Briand when he called
at Elysees Palace soon afterward.
Furthermore the president informed
him that it was his duty to stick by
the ship until all financial questions
were solved and the franc was saved.
The outgoing premier who had en-
joyed one good night's rest in four
dlays and had already recovered his
spirits abandoned hope of being abl

CHICAGO, March 9. - Herbert
Hoover, secretary of commerce to-
night outlined a complete inland wat-
erways system, pointed out its eon-
omic necessity for the Middle West
and said he believed a nine foot chan-
nel from Chicago to the Gulf was in
sight. .He appealed for settlement
of the lake level disputes by spending
money "on concrete and steel rather
than at the lawyers."
He addressed the 32nd annual ban-
quet of the John Ericson Republican
League of Illinois.
Secretary Hoover's prepared speech
did not touch upon politics.
He pictures the Middle West as girdl-

FISH ERTO DISCUSS
FAR-AS Q SUESTION
Conprises Second Lecture In School
Of Relig'ion Series On Moral
Issues Of Modern Life
IS NOTED ORIENTALIST
Dr. Galen M. Fisher of New York
city, noted authority on Japan, will
discuss "The Far-Eastern Question in
its Relation to Japan", at 4:15 o'clock
Thursday, March 11 in Room C, Law
building. Dr. Fishers lecture wll
comprise the second number of the
current series, offered by the Michi-
gan School of Religion in connection
with Prof. Charles T. Paul's seminar
in the moral issues of modern life.
The coming lecture is designed as a
sequel to the recent address of Dr.
Paul Hutchinson, on China.
Professor Paul in commenting on the
speaker said, "Dr. Fisher is an ex-
perienced and eminent authority on
Japan, and is particularly competent
to discuss the moral problems arising
from the modern development of Jap-
anese nationalism, and from the im-
portant place the Empire holds in in-
ternational relations, especially with
America. A keen student of the im-
migration question, he will doubtless
deal with the effects of the Exclusion
Act."
The Orientalist went to Japan as
secretary of the Young Men's Chris-
tian Association in 1897 following
graduation from the University of
California, and Harvard.I He has
spent 20 years in the Empire, en-
gaged in religious and educational
work, with headquarters at Tokyo.
Under his direction the Association
established branches in 13 cities, and
at 25 student centers, including the
leading Japanese universities. He de--
veloped a Student's summer assembly
at the base of the Sacred Mount Fuji,
comparable to the American Lake
Geneva.
In 1918 Dr. Fisher was one of the
organizers of the National Christian
Council of Japan, a cooperative union
of all Christian agencies, Japanese
and foreign, at work in the Empire.
He was a director of the Christian
Literature society and is famous in
Japan as a linguist, translator of
works into Japanese, and contributor
to Japanese magazines.
"Dr. Fisher," Professor Paul said,
"through his acquaintance with Japan-
ese leaders, is among the foremost
promoters of amicable relations be-
tween Japan and the United States."

PARK USE NDOAUSES
Prof. George C. Cone of the land-

at 8 o'clock tonight in the landscape
department lecture room, south wing
of University hall, on "Park Uses and

recently connected with the O. C.
Simonds Landscape company of Chi-

Professor Cone's lecture is the first
of a series of discussions on land-
scape design, that will meet every
two weeks. According to Prof. Au-
brey Tealdi, head of the landscape
design department, these meetings
are of vital importance to students
enrolled in the professional landscape

further rate reductions cannot be

He visualized two great inland wat-

latter of first importance despite the
great economic value of the lakes to
the Gulf route, completion of which is

Gilbert Play
Revival Will
Open Tonight
W. S. Gilbert's "Engaged," present-
ed tonight, tomorrow night and Fri- S
lay in the Mimes theater, will, ac-
cording to its producers, present its
audience with the amusing situation,
of a triple burlesque. Parody settings,
a barnyard for a parlor; costumes in
keeping with the settings; and gruff
bass voices to represent the sopranos
f of the ladies. The cast of ten per-
sons, embracing four women char-
acters, is entirely composed of men,
not with the intention of imitation,
but rather comedy-satire. The music,
staging and mode of presentation areI
all done in the mid-Victorian style
that the play represents.
The cast that played "Engaged" i
last fall as a Mimes production is not
in entirety the one to appear in the
revived engagement. The changes,
four in number, are: Warren Parker,
'26, for Earl Sawyer, '26A, in the role
of Angus MacAllister, William Mac- 1
Vay, '26M, as Mrs. MacFarlane for
Donald Johnson, '26, William Bishop
for Barre Hill,' 26, as Major McGilli-
cuddy, and Phillip Brooks, '28, for;
Valentine Davies,' 27, in the role of
the servant. The first mentioned,,
Parker, has done much work in De-k
troit in the services of Jesse Bon-
stelle and is by no means new to the
stage.
The University women are suport-
ing the production and one-half of the
proceeds derived from it are to be do-j
nated to the fund for the Women's
League building. This represents thej
contribution of the men's dramaticj
organization to the proposed struc-
ture.
The tickets, advertised on sale at
Graham's and Slater's bookstores
will be removed to the box office of
the Mimes theater at 1 o'clock this
afternoon Band will remain on sale
there for the entire three perform-
ances. The curtain will rise at 8:30
o'clock sharp each evening.

SHEFFIELD SENDS
NOTE TO MEXICO i
Ambassador Insists That Religiousc
Policy Not Interfere Witht
American ChurchmenI
THREATEN ONE ARREST
(By Associated Press)f
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Mexico's
new policy governing religious teach-
ings has brought forth a note fromE
Ambassador Sheffield to the Mexican
war office insisting that American
churchmen should not be made to
suffer unduly from its operations. c
The note was prepared by the am-
bassador after he had received in-I
structions from the state department
as to the American attitude and ad-a
vices that it had been delivered, came
coincident with efforts in the Senate
to force government departments to
furnish information to that body on
questions affecting American relations
with the southern republic.
Threatened arrest in Vera Cruz
state of the Rev. F. J. Krill, an Amer-
ican Catholic priest was the immedi-
ate case taken up by Ambassador
Sheffield and he reported that it had
been "satisfactorily settled," although
the nature of the settlement was not'
disclosed. It. was indicated that au-
thorities of Jalata were inclined to
allow the priest to remain in Mexico.
The ambassador's purpose in pre-
senting a note to the Mexican govern-
ment was largely to put the Wash-
ington government on record. The
document is believed to concede Mex-
ico's right to expel churchmen, but at
the same time to make clear the be-
lief that American citizens in Mexico
whether churchmen or not have the
right to expect full consideration and
to be given ample time to prepare to
leave.
MUSCLE SHOALS MEASUREj
IN HNDS OF CONFERINCE]
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Congress
today approved appointment of a joint
committee to negotiate sides for a
private leasing of Muscle Shoals. A
resolution drafted to carry out a
recommendation of President Coolidge
and already adopted by the House
was accepted by the Senate, 51 to 26,
and sent to conference.
The Senate added two amendments.
One, by Senator Caraway, Democrat,
Ark., would require that surplus
power developed at the big war-time
project be distributed equally to
states adjoining Alabama. The other,
by Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis.,
would give the proposed joint com-
mittee until April 26 to submit a pro-
posal to Congress for lease of the
project, instead of April 1, as voted
by the House.
Proponents of the resolution, led by
Senator Heflin, Democrat, Ala., fought
vigorously for its adoption without
amendment to avoid the necessity of
conference adjustment with the House

BAES, GOODRICH SPEAK
AT SECOND LAW SMOKER
Members of the Lawyer's club held
their second smoker of the year last
night in the lounge room of the club.
The club members and their guests,
the Law school faculty, were address-
ed by Prof. Herbert F. Goodrich and
Dean Henry M. Bates of the. Law
school, who treated upon some of the
recent trends in legal education and
the rise in importance of the Law
schools of the country.
Judge Frank Murphy of Detroit,
who was to have addressed the club,
was unable to be present due to the
critical illness of his father. He stat-
ed in a telegram that he would be very
willing to speak before the Lawyer's
club at a future date. In his absence
Prof. Goodrich spoke, tracing some of
the more recent developments in legal
education. He called attention to the
change in the study of law from the
old "rule and regulation" method to
the more modern study by case. Pro
Goodrich emphasized the importance
of the Law schools in interpreting and
formulating opinion upon legal prob-
lems existing today.
Dean Bates touched upon the value
of adequate and selective preparation
in the study of case law and showed
how its value increased with business
legal problems. He spoke especially
of the worth of scientific research to
the lawyer.
