A resolution reaffirm- ing that action was rejected by a large vote after speeches had been made that the World court had become a political question and that to adopt the resolution would be violating the1 Legion constitution which provides that the organization cannot be used for the dissemination of partisan prin- ciples. The merits of the World court were not discussed by those who op- posed the resolution. The question of a unified air service for the army and navy went over for another year after the convention committee on aeronautics had adopt- ed a recommendation that there be. one department of air services with secretaries of equal importance for land, sea and air forces. The com- mittee after long conferences was prevailed upon to "change the recom- mendation to an expression that "it looks with favor upon" the proposi- tion. The committee also agreed to the appointment of a committee of; nine to study the entire question, and report to the next convention. , San Antonio, Texas, won the 1928 convention of the legion after a con- test with Miami and Denver. Detroit, withdrew her invitation with the un- derstanding that it will be renewed for the 1929 meeting. Next year's convention will be held in Paris, France. The convention will adjourn tomor-f row after the election of a national' commander and five vice-comman- ders. Asks Army Increase The report of the military affairs committee, adopted by the convention, stated that the American Legion be- lieves that the minimum requirement for national defense should be a reg- ular army of 12,000 officers and 125,- 000 enlisted men, in addition to the recently authorized increase in the air corps. There also should be, the report stated, a national guard of 190,000, to be increased by annual in- crement to 250,000 by 1936; the train- ing of all field, line and staff officers of the reserve corps, together with the enlisted personnel of the organized reserves for a period of 16 days every three years; a reserve officers train- ing corps adequate to provide 5,000 of- ficers annually; a citizens military training camp of 50,000 men and the procurement, development and main- tenance of such material and camps as will properly equip all the afore- mentioned components and the further maintenance of an adequate war re- serve for three field armies. Support Draft Bill The delegates cheered when the committee reported that it favored the immediate passage of the Johnson- Pepper bill, known as the universal draft bill, "not as only as a measure of preparedness but also to prevent future wars, thus eliminating slackers and profiteers." The committee endorsed the work of the National Rifle association in its efforts to spread the doctrine of rifle marksmanship in high schools. The report also contained the fol- lowing: "Believing that teaching of national defense to the youth of the nation is the highest patriotism, the American Legion stands resolutely for military training in the high schools, coleges and universities, and pledges itself actively to oppose those pacifists, radicals, communists and others who are endeavoring in every possible way to stop such training." Thefts Reported In University Offices HARVARD SCHEDULES INDIANA FOR INTERSECTIONAL GAME IN 1927 (By Associated Press) CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 14.-Wil- liam J. Bingham, director of athletics at Harvard, announced tonight that the University of Indiana would ap- pear on Harvard's 1927 football sched- ule. The game between the Crimson and the western conference eleven will be played at Cambridge on Octo- ber 29.I At the same time it was rumored in Harvard athletic circles that a tem- porary interruption of football rela- tions between Harvard and Dart- mouth was possible, due to the fact that the powerful western team had been added to the schedule for next year. Officials declined to confirm ule is that which Tufts fills this year. Director Bingham let it be known that only four of Harvard's 1927 dates had as yet been decided definitely. Negotiations with Indiana were opened after a home and home series with Michigan for the season of 1927 and 1928 had been discussed and abandoned. Reports that Harvard 1 planned to drop its Princeton game next year in order to meet Michigan at Ann Arbor resulted in a conference of Big Three athletic heads in New Haven last week. After that con- ference, it was announced that there was no danger of a rupture of Prince- ton-Harvard athletic relations.

Co-education or not, Miss Janis is very enthusiastic about Ann Arborl and the Union and as she wandered up the long corridors, recounted many experiences that she had had playing in the old Michigan Union. She was very much interested in the college and all that is connected with it. Commercialism, though, she feels is getting its hold on all that is American.

Regard- ing languages, Miss Janis is skilled' in Italian, French and German her- self, and is studying Spanish at the present time "between jumps."

Day of the School of Business Admin- istration imformally addressed the faculty and students of the school on the problems confronting the school at the present time. He stressed the point that business men and college students must be con- verted to the idea of college prepara- tion for a business career. An increas- lng minority of business men, iclud- ing many leaders, recognizethe ces- sity of this training, accordin to Dean Day, and with the period of transition for the business school nearly over, more college sudekits are beginning to realize this truth. Although freely admitting that cer- tain types of students do not need ex- tensive university training to enter business, Dean Day advocated for the great majority of men who have no special business capacity, a program of study containing a period of indense specialization, as weltl as a' well- rounded view of the whole subject. He concluded his address by emphasiz- ing the importance of the right at- titude of the students in their col- lege training for future positions in the business world. Plan Mass Protests For Queen's Arrival (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Preparations were completed by the New York sec- tion of the International Labor de- fense for an open air mass meeting on the day that Queen Marie arrives, protesting the "medieval tortures" it alleges are being inflicted on 2,500 political prisoners in Roumania. . A call was issued to the city's workers to meet in Union square, shortly after the hour of the Queen's debarkation Monday, to "express their condemnation of the Roumanian au- thorities for thir brutal treatment of lpolitical prisoners." In nmany cases, the announcement said, the men and women held in jail "by the government represented by 'Queen Marie," have no charge against them more serious than expression of opinion or the reading of some labor journal which is freely circulated in the country." Los Angeles Begins Flight Io Detroit (By Associated Press) LAKEHURST, N. J., Oct. 14.--Head- ed for Detroit the navy dirigible Los Angeles was flying through the dark- ness tonight on a course considerably to the north of the air trail that ended a year ago in the fatal crash of its hangar mate, the Shenandoah. Delayed four d"ays by inclemen weather, Lieut. Com. Charles E. Ros endahl ordered the dirigible cut loos at 11:05 this morning.

Dr. William Darrach, associate editor of Archives of Surgery and dean of the college of physicians at Columbia university, will deliver the first ad- dress on "Why Study Medicine?" Tuesday in Natural Science audi- torium. Dr. Charles Phillips Emerson, dean of the medical school at Indiana uni- versity, has accepted the invitation to be the second speaker. Invitations have been extended to Dr. Hugh T. Patrick of Chicago and Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller institute although definite arrangements have not yet been made.

Safety Men Taken rom British Mines (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 14.-By a district vote in the coal fields, the miners have endorsed the decision of the recent miners' delegate conference to with- draw the safety men from the mines. The delegate conference decided upon withdrawal of the safety men when it was found impossible to reach a settlement of the strike under the government proposals. The miners' federation will meet to- morrow and decide whether to act on the vote, but as the federation con- trols only 40 per cent of the safety men, while the union controling the other 60 per cent has emphatically de- cided against withdrawal, it is con- sidered doubtful whether .the confed- eration will go to this extreme.

SENTECOMMITTEE ON CAMPAIGNfUNDOS REOPENS__HEAINGS ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE HEAD CALLED TO TESTIFY " IN INQUIRY FIVE MEN SUMMONED j Investigate Charges That Mc~inley Spent $350000; Smith $250,000 In Illinois Primary (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 14.-The reopening of hearings in Chicago was announced today by the United States Senate campaign funds committee, and sub- poenas were issued to five persons to appear as witnesses. At the request of Hicklin Yates, secretary of the committee who came to Chicago after conferring at St. Louis with Sen. James A. Reed, Demo- crat, Missouri, chairman of the com- mittee, the United States marshal sent summonses to Dr. George A. Safford, Illinois superintendent of the Anti- Saloon league; James D. Simpson, president of Marshall Field company; Elmer William, chairman of the Bet- ter Government association and Cle- ment Studebaker, public utilities ex- ecutive. To Conclude Testimony The hearing was called for 10 o'clock Monday morning, ostensibly to conclude the taking of testimony not heard at the previous session here when the committee developed the ex- penditure of $250,000 in the primary campaign of Col. Frank L. Smith, Re- publican senatorial nominee and of $350,000 by Sen. William B. McKinley, seeking renomination. It was pointed out, however, that the place of meeting is convenient to Indiana, where charges have been made that political corruption in- volved United States senatorships, and that the committee can summon Indi- ana witnesses handily if they conclude the charges come within the scope of its authority. Secretary Yates said he had no in- formation that the reopening of com- mittee sessions here was prompted by the Indiana charges, or that those charges would be considered. No subpoenas were issued here to- day for Indiana witnesses, and no re- quest 'was made to Palmer Anderson, United States marshal, he said, to summon any. Safford Testifies At its former hearing in Chicago, the committee represented by Chair- man Reed and Senator Lafollette, Re- publican, Wisconsin, summoned Simp- son, Studebaker, Safford and :Mrs. Morrisson, but adjourned without hearing any but Safford. The committee developed contribu- tions of $125,000 to the Smith cam- paign fund by Samuel Insull, public utilities executive, and was told by Allan Moore, Republican national committeeman and Smith's primary campaign manager, that Studebaker had been a contributor. Safford testified that the Anti-Sa- loon league gave its endorsement both to Smith and McKinley in the pri- mary. Simpson was reported to have been a contributor to the primary fund. Mrs. Morrisson was mentioned by officials of the McKinley campaign as having helped to arrange meetings among clubwomen to endorse Ameri- can adherence to the World court for which McKinley voted. t r s SENIOR CLASSES IN TWO COLLEGES ELECT OFFICERS Senior class elections were- con- cluded for the week yesterday after- noon with. the selection of officers in' the College of Denistry and the Col- lege of Pharmacy. - The one remain- ing senior class election, that in the Law school, will be held next week. Robert Turner was elected presi- I dent of the senior dentistry class. The other three offices were filled as fol-. 'lows: Frank Orliman, vice-presi- dent; William Riley, secretary; and Sherwood Lee, treasurer. All officers were elected unanimously. In the pharmacy election, Darwin Sacheroff won the presidency over Ray Patelski by a substantial margin. Saul Cohen was elected vice-president although there remains a question as to his eligibility. In the event that 'his name is not approved at the office of the dean of students, Helen Young will fill the office. Herbert Noel was chosen secretary of the class, and Stanley Pettier was elected treasurer. Thei W ifhprI f t 3 REED ADVOCATES RETENTION OF PRESENT SYSTEM OF PRIMARIES Four robberies were reported yes- terday as having taken place late Monday in and about the University offices. Miss Frances H. Buntin, a clerk in the Recorder's office reported the loss of a bag containing money and football tickets. Miss Helen Loftus, grad, also reported the loss of a black mesh bag, containing $9 and football tickets, from the office of the rhetoric department. Several If the universities do not enable their students to learn politics and to judge candidates from personal 'ap- pearances, they are failing in one of their important functions, said Dean Hugh Cabot of the Medical school yes- terday in commenting on the activi- ties of student political clubs. "We cannot separate democracy and edu- cation," he continued, saying that it is essential that college students take an interest in the government of their The number of college graduates is increasing, Dean Cabot explained, and the government will probably be con- trolled almost entirely by college trained men. "It is not characteristi- cally American," he stated, "to learn from others. We must learn by our experience." Therefore these students who are to govern the country must hear candidates speak, judge them, and cast their ballots in the elections. football game tomorrow. A general information desk will be located in the lobby, at which will be found a campus directory, map of the city, and railroad, bus and electric car schedules. Rooms for alumni will be in charge of a rooming committee which will list rooms available. Ann Arbor resi- dents have already listed, and may still list rooms for football games with this committee. "I believe in the retention of the primary system, certainly till we dis- cover something better to which to go," declared Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the political science department in an interview given out yesterday. The interview followed an attack upon NV'ice-President Dawes' stand on the system by both Republican and Dem- When asked as to the relative ex- penditures of money in the two sys- tems, Professor Reed remarked that "it may be true that less money was spent in getting nominations under the convention system. If so, it is chiefly due to the fact that conven- tions could be bought more cheaply than the electorate."
