SAYS KINGIS9 DEAD Various European Capitals Receive Report Of Death Of Ferdinand. King Of Roumania MARIE INLIMELIGHT (By Associated Press) BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, Nov. 29.- Reports have been in circulation here today that King Ferdinand of Roumania is dead. These reperts ap- parently originated from several sources, but they have not been offi- cially confirmed, nor have any details been received establishing their au- thenticity. The death of King Ferdinand . has been reported several times from var- RELIGION IS ONE THING THAT HOLDS RUSSIANS TOGETHER-C:ROELL 1PROPOGANIDA OF COMMUNISTS I" INGENIOUS, MICHIGAN GRADUATE SAYS GOVERNMENT IS ATHEIST Speaker Is Regent of Universty Oi California And Was Editor Of Fresno Republican "Propaganda of the communist movement is vastly ingenious, but all the churches in Russia are filled to overflowing with praying people; re- ligion is the one thing which holds Russia together," stated Chester Har- vey Rowell '88, in the course of his lecture on revolutionary Russia ycs- terday afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. The former student of the university is a regent of the Univer- sity of California and was at one time editor of the Fresno Republican. Of late he has been interested in interna- tional affairs and a student of the work accomplished by the League of Nations. His lecture was made up of a recital of the different phases of red Russia as he has observed them in the course of his stay there. ,'iuntioin Is Paradoxical Mr. Rowell said that from the min- ute that one entered that country he was immediately impressed with the great contrasts which are apparent everywhere, and that for this reason it was difficult to understand Russia exce t in narodoxical terms.

Gould. Republican, by a majority of approxi- mately 50,000 over Fulton J. Redman, Democrat, as senator from Maine. He will complete the term of the late Sen. Bert M. Fernald, expiring in 1931. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Election of Arthur R. Gould, Republican, to the United States Senate from Maine, was received with unv.eiled enthusiasm to- night in Republican circles here, where, since the congressional lee- tions four weeks ago, eyes had been turned on the northeastern state to break the 47-47 membership tie be-' tween Republicans and Democrats. With the Maine vacancy filled bp another Republican, the 70th Congress will begin next year with a Republi-! can majority of only one in the Sen- ate and a much more comfortable margin in the House.

The round table talks will be! held in various comlmittee rooms of the Union Friday afternoon. "The Honor System and Student Government" will be led by Charles C.

To Discuss Athletics The discussion on "Athletics" will formances in the thirteen citiesI where the opera will play on its tourI through the East and the Middle West.

Pet- erson, grad, with additional music and lyrics by Dorothy Stone, who is co-starring with her father, Fred Stone, in, "Criss-Cross", now playing in New York city, and William M'- Lewis Jr., '29, who will be featured in the production in the leading fem- inine role of June. The arrangement of the dance routines was done partly by Roy Hoyer, leading man with Fred Stone, when he was the guest of Mr. Shuter last spring, and partly by Lewis. Trained Since Spring The choruses of "Front Page Stuff" have been trained in their routines since last spring, and since the earlyt fall have been practicing two hours daily under the direction of Lewis. A departure from the chorus arrange- ments of past years is that six spec- alty dancers have been added to the usual women's and men's choruses. The "Adorable Girl" number by Lewis, is sung by Robert Graham, 29, 1 who plays the part of Isidore, the i poet, while the men's chorus continue with a clog dance, followed in turn by the specialty dancers who perform a high kicking and eccentric dance. This number is featured in the show, being sung in the finale by Russell Gohring, '27, and Lewis, with a final reprise of the dance of the specialty, chorus. Other Feature Numbers Y .n,.ad "Mv Lady of the Aaron Saenz Foreign minister of Mexico, who de- clares that the oil laws recently en- acted by his government are being en- forced without difliculty. American oil magnates had declared that they would not abide by the laws when first passed. I Love You anii y- 1 Snows" are the other featured num-f bers, the former being sung by Rus-! sell Gohring with a dance by theS mixed chorus following, while "My Lady of the Snows", sung by Graham, is the feature of the second act. A novelty dance of 16 snow men is followed by a ballet by the special- ty dancers and a tge dance by Lewis. This is the first time such a combina- tion has been used in a Union opera. The "Reporters frpm the Press" by{ the men's chorus and the "Valentine" dance by the mixed chorus are two varied numbers of the typical musicalj comedy type. "A Friendly Game of1 Golf" sung by Lewis and the mixed chorus with a dance by the special girls is one of the most unique and graceful routines ever created by Roy B oyer, according to Mr. Shuter. "Play Us a Tune" sung by B. Lorain Norton, '27, in the character of an; Italian baron, contains a dance by -Lewis, and the men's chorus is con- chided by a piano solo by Lewis. Tickets for Ann Arbor performances of "Front Page Stuff" may be secured at the desk in the lobby of the Union from 2 to 5 o'clock today by students and the general public.

(By Associated Press) PEKING, Nov. 29.-With its enemies organizing for a concerted attack up- on it, the Peking government once more is without a cabinet or recogniz- ed head. In telegrams sent toay to the war lords who appointed them and dictated their acts, the cabinet members declared the determination to quit the responsibilities of office. Daily reports have come to Peking of the successes of the armies of the Cantonese government, of one province after another going over to, the south- erners whose battle cry is one gov- ernment for all China, and China for the Chinese. In addition the Kuomin- chun (national army) of the Peking government, deposed last April, is said to be preparing to march from Kansu province to join the Cantonese troops coming north after their vic- tories in the Yangtze provinces over the forces of Marshals Wu Pei Fu and Sun Chuan Fang, not long ago styled dictators respectively of central and eastern China. Shifts Responsibility Faced with this situation, without power to enforce its orders, even in the vicinity of Peking, and with an empty treasury, the cabinet quit as a body and requested the war lords to assume responsibility for the govern- ment which they actually controlled. LONDON, Nov. 29.-"The gravest crisis since the Boxer rebellion," is how British correspondents in China describe the present situation there as their concern is fully reflected in of- ficial quarters. The government, however, maintain- ing its wary attitude which has pre- vailed throughout the prolonged Chinese troubles, still declines to be harried into a precipitate action based on what possibly may turn out to be nadequate information. Macdonald Speaks Former Premier J. Ramsay Mac- donald, making his first appearance in the House of Commons today since a holiday for his health, asked Foreign Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain to give the house information on affairs in China. Sir Austin outlined the serious de- velopments which have occurred in Hankow during the past week growing out of a threatened general anti- foreign strike and boycott there. . Apparently the government has no present intention of' ordering further naval units to China. T'welve de- stroyers and an aircraft carrier, sent to China from Malta in September, are ready for eventualities in addition to the regular river control. . May Require U. S.- Action It is understood that the situation will be left largely to the chietnaval commanders on the scene and it is hoped that if any action should be- come necessary, it shall be of inter- national character. There is con- siderable interest as to what action the United States shall take if the threatened general strike should af- feet America. The advance of the Cantonese forces and the resignation of the Peking gov- ernment have resulted in close atten- tion to this phase of the entire Chinese situation. 'Whether the Cantonese government can become a concrete governing body with which the for- eign nations can properly deal is a question on which opinions differ widely. The prevailing view and that ac- cepted generally in official quarters is that the Cantonese ' government, should it gain control of all China, is too completely Bolshevist in its in- tentions and aims to be trusted and that it will force an anti-foreign pol- icy, including renunciation of foreign treaties to the utmost extent. On the other hand, the opinion in liberal quarters favors an attempt to negotiation with the Cantonese.
