"I hope for the time," stated Mr. Lawrence, "when precedence will be given by newspapers to arguments, soundly conomic and for the benefit of the country, over political speeches which are harsh and cynical." The speaker indicated that this time could come only when editors see themselves as public servants and trustees of knowledge rather than as supporters of a political party. tI In discussing his observations as a Washington correspondent, Mr. Law- rence predicted that in ten years our system of government would become much morescomplicated, with particu- lar emphasis upon its economic as- pets. In the latter connection, he declar- ed that the economic features of the government are already rapidly gain- ing on the political ones, and that "we are in the midst of an economic-mind- ed administration." Neutrality For Correspondents "A Washington correspondent has no business with either political party," stated the speaker in explain- ing this theory of the work in which he has been engaged since his assignment to the Capitol city in 1912. The news value of the material itself should govern its inclusion in a story, or its use by a newspaper. Eric C. Hopwood, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, who was the first speaker on the evening's pro- gram, outlined the qualities and ideals which newspapers and its staff mem- bers should possess to be of the great- est service to the community. Referring to the dislike of begin- ners in the journalistic field to serve an apprenticeship, the Cleveland .edi- tor declared that advance to higher positions in this realm could only be soundly gained through the lower staff positions. Fielding H. Yost, director of inter- collegiate athletics, addressed the journalists after the pep meeting in Hill auditorium, Present Film After the addresses of the program, an Associated Press film, entitled "The Romance of the News," which illustrated the various steps in the collection, preparation and distribu- tion of news was presented before the journalists. In discussing the newspaper and in- ternational relations at the afternoon session, Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the political science department appealed to the normal, well-meaning editors to publish more foreign news with a fair viewpoint, as a means of promot- ing international good will. Since the knowledge of the average citizen on foreign affairs is dependent entirely upon the daily press, such news stories should be so written that, while the difference of opinion will be evident, an understanding of the viewpoint of other nations will be given to the citi-1 zensrof this country, he continued. Adoption of such a policy in the news and editorial department of the great mass of our newspapers, indi- cated Professor Reed, would almost completely offset the harm which is being done by the jingoistic publica- tions. CHEERING SECTION J All students enrolled in the cheering section are urgently re- quested by the Student council not to leave their seats until the close of the game this afternoon. A number of students left before the final whistle sounded last Saturday, disrupting the design of the block "M." MURPHY SPEAKS AT FIRST PEP MEETING1 Judge Pays Earnest Tribute To Yost Amid Absolute Silence of 5,000 Students In Audience COACH GIVES ADDRESS Chacterizing the present Michigan eleven as a "magnificient team coach- ed by ,a peerless crew," Judge Frank Murphy, '13L, of Detroit, brought thunderous applause from 5,080 stu- dents last night in Hill auditorium at the first pep meeting of the year when he expressed his assurance that Mich- igan would triumph over Illinois in the game today. Judge Murphy's speech came as a climax to the program and the stu- dents remained in absolute silence as. he paid the following tribute to Coach Fielding H. Yost and his teams: "We have one of the best teams in our his- tory at present and we must pay a tribute to Coach Yost who has coached our teams for the last quarter of a century. He has brought fairly and squarely great honor io Michigan. It isn't the fact that he has taught foot- ball that makes him so great, but it is the fact that he has taught fair play and has built character. A Yost team represents democracy, fair play, and equality." Coach Yost hushed the students when he exclaimed in a loud voice during the course of his talk, "I wouldn't be surprised if Michigan loses tomorrow." However, they were relieved from theirssuspense a minute later when he added, "but I'd be greatly disappointed if she did." He went onto point out to the students that the team of 1927 has undertaken a schedule more difficult than any other team. "If we lose we will lose like sports- men," said Coach Yost, "our team is (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-John G. Shedd, 76, financier and merchant, died early today at St. Luke's hospital, where an emergency operation was performed for appendicitis. To the business genius of Mr. Shedd was credited a large measure of the success behind the growth of Marshall Field & Co. from Chicago's "biggest store" in the seventies, to the rank of the largest wholesale and retail dry goods house in the world. REED HAS FEARS FOR EUROPEAN DEMOCRACY Political Science Professor, in Radio Speech, Fears New Dangers From Radicals and Reactionaries WIEMAN ANDWILE SPEAK "Democratic institutions are actively menaced in every important European state in which they have not already succumbed, and the most vital politi- cal fact in Europe is not to be found in the international conflicts, the re- verberations of which tend to obliter- ate all other sounds, but in the peril of democracy," was the opening state- Ment of Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the political science department in his radio talk broadcast last night from University hall. Speaking of the World war, he as- serted that although victory had put an end to hereditary monarchy it had also brought with it new dangers to representative government. "Democ- racy is threatened from two directions at once-from the radicals of the left' and the reactionaries of the right," he continued. "Communists inspired by the deeds of their co-believers in Rus- sia seek to overthrow the existing gov- ernment by 'direct action' and to es-I tablish in their place dictatorships of the 'proletariat.' The forces of con- servatism and property, hitherto the bulwarks of orderly government, fol- lowing Italian example are everywhere organizing to establish by force dic- tatorship on the Fascist pattern. Caught between these two extremes there are stormy days ahead for de- mocracy." Discusses Italy of Mussolini Professor Reed then demonstrated how Italy under Mussolini is steadily moving toward a constructive solution of her problems, while France, Ger- many, and Belgium gyrate from one ministry to another without any real progress. It is little wonder, said the speaker, that they turn in despair to the glittering promises of dictatorship. "Nothing saves the French Republic from overthrow but the absence of a political personality with the making of a dictator." In conclusion, Professor Reed ex- plained the methods of Bolshevism and Fascism, and finished with the statement that "before these methods, simple, direct, elemental, the struc- ture of representative democracy so powerfully reared, has fallen in Italy and is trembling all over the contin- ent." Prof. Udo J. Wile of the medical school, discussed the prevention of social disease from the standpoint of a real public menace. He showed how tuberculosis and cancer had been taken into control through the dissem- ination of proper knowledge through educational programs, the newspapers, journals, and magazines, and the speaker evidenced regret at the fact that social disease cannot be brought into control through the same chan- nels. Illinois-Michigan Rivalry Football relations began with Illi- nois in 1898," said Elton E. Weiman, assistant director of intercollegiate athletics, in his four minute radio talk, and "Michigan won 12-5, and since that time the two institutions have met Son the gridiron 11 times, Michigan winning 8 and Illinois '." However since the advent of Coach Zuppke in 1912 and Michigan's return to the Conference in 1918 the two teams have met six times, he explained, of which each has won an equal number of games. Also during this period Illi- nois has won or tied for the Confer- ence championship on three occasions. and Michigan four. Union To Assist Visiting Alumni FRENCH UNVRABLE TO DEBT RATIFICTION PROPOSED BY MELLON WORDING LEADS TO BELIEF THAT CHAIRMAN OPPOSES RATIFICATION REPORT IS VOLUMINOUS Will Not Cote Up For Discussion For Several Months Because Budget Is To Be Passed First (By Associated Press) PARIS, Oct. 22.-Adrian Gariac, chairman of the special debt com- mission of the Chamber of Deputies has concluded his report on the debt question which will be presented to the finance committee of the chamber next Wednesday. The report is a voluminous docu- ment covering 101 typewritten pages. It makes no outright recommendation, either favorable or unfavorable, to ratification by parliament of the Ber- ringer-Mellon accord, but the argu- ments are presented in such a manner as to leave no doubt in the minds of the readers that M. Gariac is opposed to ratification of the agreement as it stands. "I am not hostile to the principle of ratification of the debt agreement signed by France," M Gariac told a correspondent of the Associated Press, "but we must be safeguarded against the future. If ass4rance were given by the United Stats for the creation of an international commission com- posed of bankers and experts from all countries interested, and if this com- mission were intrusted with the task of adjusting differences arising be- tween the governments, and to stip- ulate upon each country's capacity to pay at all times, I would unhesitat- ingly recommend unrestricted ratifi- cation." Article Makes Trouble "If I had a letter from the United States government similar to that re- ceived from the British debt agree- ment, safeguarding against transfer upheavals and safeguarding against commercialization of the debt, my recommendation would be: 'Ratify at once.' " M. Gariac then referred to Artic seven of the Berringer-Mellon agree- ment which provides for the issuance by France to the United States at the request of the secretary of the treas- ury, of debt bonds suitable for sale to the public. "I don't mind telling you," he said, "that Article seven of the Berringer- Mellon agreement is the cause of all the trouble. "It created the greatest disappoint- ment among the French people. We know we are safe against commercial- ization of the debt bonds under the present American government, but who knows what will be the disposi- tion of future American governments against France in the course of 62 years? Who knows the trend of the policy of French government 20 years hence? This Article seven Is a per- petual menace above the heads of Frenchmen." M. Gariac's report quotes extensive statements made by American con- gressmen and other political figures and financiers favoring either the an- nulment or the downward revision of the French debt. . No Discussion Soon The report which will be presented by M. Gariac has received consider- able attention from Clemenceau who has been kept informed of every phase of its development. Discussion of ratification of the agreement will not come up in Parliament before Jan- uary, it was announced today, as the premier is anxious to put the French budget through before the Christmas recess. The debt question, however, may crop up in the course of debate upon the budget figures either in the Cham- ber or Senate and it was said today in French ministerial circles that the American public must be prepared to read some disagreeable things said about the United States.

Tear Gas Used By Police In Routing "Raid" Of Students Tear gas was used by police to dis- pel the mob of students which col- lected to "rush" the Arcade theater and which afterwards gathered in front of police headquarters, where a stone was thrown through the glass door last night. Six students were arrested and are to appear in police court this morning. A crowd that soon swelled to more than 800 students left the pep meet- ing, at the Union, and attempted with- out success to raid the Majestic and Arcade theaters. When the crowd re- fused to disperse from the latter, po- lice made a rush, shooting tear gas. COUNCIL BANS OPEN FRATERNITY DANCES Committee On Student Affairs Seeks To Aid In Control of Parties By New Plan BAND TO MAKE NAVY TRIP In an effort to aid fraternities in controlling dances, the "open" fra- ternity party was abolished by the University Committee on Student Af- fairs at a meeting yesterday after- noon. The new ruling goes into effect at once, applying to all parties held this week-end. Under the .new arrangement, the1 dean of students is authorized to give permission for dances only to fratern- ities who are willing to conduct "closed" parties, which were defined as those open only to members of the fraternity, undergraduates or alumni, 'and to others presenting written in- vitations at the door. All those pres- ent under this system are known to members of the fraternity giving the 'dance, and the fraternity will be held responsible for their conduct. The large majority of fraternities have been giving dances under this plan for the past year, and the new ruling will mke the practice uni- versal. The action was reached when investigations revealed that miscon- duct at dances was chiefly due, not to members of the fraternities, but to un- invited guests, and that the large crowds resulting from "open" parties made them almost impossible to han- die. It is the belief of the committee that the restriction will eliminate only the undesirable element. In addition to discussing the fra- 'ternity dance problem, the committeel approved the trip of the University1 Band to Baltimore for the Navy game, and authorized several proposed short trips by the Glee club. The life mem- bership campaign of the Union and the Women's league and the annual financial drive of the Student Christ- ian association and the Y. W. C. A. were also approved. PACIFIC COAST REPORTS QUAKE Tremors Recorded By Seismograph Recall 1906 Disaster (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-San Francisco residents were awakened today by earthquake shocks that startled the guests of the downtown hotels. Not a building in the city, even of the oldest and flimsiest con- struction, was damaged except for a few broken windows and cracked plaster. Some hotel guests dressed and sought the open spaces where they remained a short time and then re- turned to their rooms. The shocks, of which four were felt here, extended from Santa Rosa, 60 miles north, to Paso Robles, 180 miles south. The first tremor was registered by the University of California seis- mograph at 4:56 a. m., the second an hour later, and two others at 6:42 and 8:04. The first was the sharpest and the others of mild intensity, the others not being felt generally, CONSTANTINOPLE-The Turkish government has inaugurated its first airplane factory at Cesaree. l F J i t i 1 i 1 ILLINI AND WOLVERINES RENEW OLD R IVALRY ON GRIDIRON TODAY WITH SERIES EDGE IN BALANCEo PETERS AND DAU6HERITY TO BEAR BRUNT OF ATTACK OF CRIPPLED ZUPPKE TEAM Michigan and Illinois, represented by two of the strongest teams in the Western Conference, will renew their keen rivalry on the grid- iron of Ferry field at 3 o'clock (city time) today in one of the feature games scheduled on the country's football program for this afternoon.
