It went into the record after' I a ruling by Justice 1loehling of the Supreme court of the District of Co-_ lumbia that the trial court alone was authority on what may or may not go. before the jury.

Fielding H. Yost, himself, none oth- er, Bennies Friedman and Oosterbaan, captain-emeritus and elect, and ap- parently everyone else connected with the athletic department of the alma jmater, were there.1 Michigan cheers and songs, and heroic addresses from the old grads whose memories proved worthy, if not imaginative, mixed happily into the feast night for the "Champions of the West." Undefeated in the Conference, tied for Big Ten honors, there was suffi- cient enthusiasm stirred anew in the breasts of those who once filled the classrooms of "Michigan" to set free cheer after cheer at the appearance of new speakers, familiar faces. Down from the skies trooped Maj. Thomas G. Lanphier of Selfridge field, in charge of the first pursuit squadron and a former football stars at West Point, and it was his reference to the "old man" as "the world's greatest football coach," which threat- ened to bust the bust. Major Lanphier talked of "overcon- fidence," paid a compliment to the Navy team which downed Michigan this year after their "walloping" by the Wolverines last year and said he had felt the Navy would come back. The Army man also praised his own team, declaring that though men did not go to West Point to play football alone, rigorous training there places them in splendid condition when foot- ball comes along. Benny Oosterbaan was given a tre- mendous ovation when he rose to his feet to pledge his strength in carrying on the banner tossed him by Mich- igan's all-American quarterback. IRENCH BUDGET IS PUT THROUGH (By Associated Press) PARIS, Dec. 4.-While the rise in the franc is causing business depres- sion, Premier Raymond Poincare has accomplished his self-imposed task of Shaving France's largest budget passed by parliament in the shortest time in history. The premeier, three weeks ago, set jDec. 3 as the date for the adoption of the apropriations, totalling 40 billion francs, and he was only three hours behind schedule when the chamber, at 3 a. m. today, by a show of hands, voted the appropriations as a whole. The haste of the premier in driving through the budget was. due to his desire that the income side might be approved and the budget become law New Year's Day. Since he started his work of get- ting the budget out of the way, the premier has been brisk and alert. He kept the noses of the deputies to the grindstone week days and Sundays, tearing down obstructions and quoting figures in answer to objections. v The premier's rosy budget predic-1 tions are not shared by all, however. This notably is true in business and financial circles. The continued riseI in the exchange rate on the franc yesterday was attributed to the suc-' cess with which M. Poincare's budget proposals were going through the Chamber of Deputies. The phenomenal rise in the value 'of the franc within the last few! [ months seemingly threatens another economic crisis like that of last July, 1 when the franc fell to the lowest levels on record. Serious business depression and unemployment have! followed the rise, which brought the unit of value to 25.82 to the dollar vesterday, as compared with a quota- tion of less than 2 cents in New York in mid-July. A month ago the quota- tion was 31.10 to the dollar and two months ago 35.52.

The time of the meeting, by action of the delegates is tohbe the first week in December. The Uni- versity of Nebraska was chosen from a list oft six claimants for the honor. These were Ohio State university, the University of Ohio, the University of Nebraska, Leland Stanford uni- yersity, Cornell university and Mt. Holyoke college. Features of the meeting were the speeches in foreign languages by del- gates representing foreign units simi- lar to the Federation. Heinrich Drier, representing the German Stu- dent Cooperative association, address- ed the Cbngress!in German;Lntl extend- ed the greetings of his organization and their desire for a closer under- standing between the students of Germany and the students of the United States. He was answered in" German by Lewis Fox, the retiring presdent. Following this Max Ha- bicht, representative of the Confedera- tin Internationale des Etudientes and .a student at Harvard addressed the meeting in French and translated it into English for the meeting. He ex- plained some of the activities of the organization and expressed the thanks of the organization for the cooperation extended them at all times by the American Federation. The meeting openel with the re- ports of the committees on fraternities and honor systems and the reading of the reports brought several members of the meeting to the floor in protest. The findings of the committees were accepted, however, and the resolu- tions placed before the executive board. The committee on fraternities protested in their-report the idea that the fraternities and sororities are centerslof vicelynd immorality and that they conform members to a certain mold which is inevitable. T-he com- mittee on honor systems recommend- ed that those schools who were con- sidering the installation of systems should do so slowly amd with care, emphasizing the groundwork neces- sary for the -successful operation of such a system. Lewis Fox, of Harvard, the retiring president, closed the meeting with a speech at the request of the new presi- dent, Fred Berger, of the University of Cincinnati. He revived the events of the Federation's work during the past year and made a plea that the work go on with new, courage and a new vision. He stated the work that some of the organizations of a simi- lar nature had been doing in Europe and told of some of his experiences with the work of these organizations. And he requested that, although it was not regular procedure, the meet- ing closed with a prayer for the com- ing year. At the conclusion of the prayer the convention was declared officially closed. China To Terminate All Unequal Pacts (By Associated Press) GENEVA, Dec. 4.-China has de- cided to terminate all unyqual treat- ies on their expiration, Chu Chao- i Hsin, Chinese representative at th League of Nations, announced today in a statement on China's recent de- nunciation of the Sino-Belgian treaty of 1865. The statement says that China will refuse to submit to the World court the question of interpretation of the treaty, since 'it considers the contro- versy political rather than juridicial. China, howevr, is willing, to submit the case to the league assembly, the statement declares. Sixteeen powers have treaty rights in China, including Belgium. Denun- ciation early this month by the Peking government of the Sino-Beligna treaty was the first cancellation by China ofi one of its series of treaties which have long been enforced, and led to fears that China would denounce their remaining treaties as their terms ex- I
