PARIS, March t-A. delna-
tion by France to be represented
even by "an observer" at the
forthcoming three power navial
conference is understood to have
been the decision of the Poineare
cabinet at a long discussion today
on President ('olidge's invitation
that France be represented in
"some manner."
WASHINGTON, March 15-Invita-
tions to France and Italy to partici-
pate "in some manner" in the three
power naval conference at Gleneva
were made public today at the State
department. While similar in frm
and also in language in part, they
differed in that reply was made to ar-
guments advanced by each country
in rejecting the original five power
conference invitation,.
Assurance was given both govern-
ments that, while the United States
had no desire to reopen questions as
to naval limitations already settled
by treaty, it regarded all other ques-
tions as open for discussion and had
no preconceived ideas as to French or
Italian tonnage ratios in the classes
of auxiliary ships to be dealt with.
To the French suggestion that suc-
cess of the preparatory commission
Kt Geneva, organized by the League
of Nations, might be risked by simul-
taneous treaty negotiations between
the naval powers, the American note
said:
U. S. Gives Opinionj
"The government of the United
States is of the opinion that all. ap-
propriate measures taken by the
large naval powers cannot but con-
tribute towards facilitating the task
of the commission."
"Italy's assertion of the interde-
pendence of every type of armament
was answered similarly that in thel
American view "limitation of the,
naval branch of armament must
greatly contribute in advancing the
solution of the problem as a whole."
Dealing with Italy's suggestion that
her geographic position and strategic
considerations made it impossible for
her to enter into binding agreements
to limit naval armaments without
grave risks, the American note said:
"It is feared there may exist some
misapprehension regarding the terms
of the proposal of the President of
the United States.
Americans Open To Ideas
"The American government has no
preconceived ideas regarding definite
ratio for the limitation of Italian ton-
nate in the classes (of ships) referred
to, but regards this question as one
to be determined during the proposed
conversation."
It was further explained to Italy
that the Washington government be-'
lieved that partial agreement on limi-
tation of armaments "could expose
no power to danger from the navies
of the powers not included in such an
understanding, since no agreement is
contemplated which would not be
subject to reconsideration or revision
should the security of any party to it
be menaced by the naval program of
a nation not included in the under-
standing."

Mimes Organized In 1913 As Permanent
Society Offering Training F o r Opera

NOTED ENGLISH DEAN 1Profound Faculty Men Fail On Feature
Conflict Of Freshman Fellowship GrouO

Editor's Note: This is the seventeenth of a
series of articles by Daily staff mnernbers on
various campus institutions and organizations,
published in an effort to make clear their
functions and their particular features of in-
terest to prospective participants.
Though the history and continu-
ance of Mimes, campus honorary
dramatic society, and the Michigan
Union Opera have, in the main, been
inseptarable, it was only after several
annual Opera productions had shown
the need for a dramatic organization
of some solidarity that the existing
society came into being.
Formerly the Opera had been an
Independent yearly affair, but it was
to build up a permanent organiza-
tion in which experience and a num-
ber of years in cast and chorus work
or on committees should count to-
ward higher positions that brought
about Mimes' organization in 1913.
Further considerations in buildng up
such a body were the desirability of
working out opportunities for stu-
dents with dramatic and musical tal-
cut as preliminary to the Opera for
the following year, and the possibil-
ity of offering additional attractions
from timje to time throughout the
1year.
Among the charter members of the
new group were Homer Heath, for-
mer manager of the Union, Earl
Moore, director of the University
school of music, Mathew Blish, then
president of, the Union and Philip
Fletcher, general chairman of the
Opera at that time.
The present Mimes theater was
built in 1912 and used as a ballroom
addition to the old Cooley home
which acted as the Union. It was not
constructed into its new form until
1921, when the stage was added and
the entire floor dropped for the in-
stallation of seats. Rehearsals before
AVIATOR TO DISCUSS
RECENT WORLD[FLIGHT
Evans, Accompanied By Wells, Lowers
By Seven Days Previous Record
Made By John Mears
WILL ILLUSTRATE TALK
In an illustrated University lecture
held under the auspices of the geol-
ogy department, Mr. Edward S. Evans
of Detroit will speak at 8:15 o'clock
tomorrow night in Natural Science au-
ditorium on his recent airplane flight
around the world which established
the new low record of 28 and one-
half days. In addition to his talk Mr.
Evans will present the moving pic-
tures which were taken during the
trip.
Acompanied by Linton 0. Wells of
New York, Evans left New York on
the morning of June 16. From Cher-
bourg they made their way to Mos-
cow by automobiles and airplanes
with which they made connections ac-
cording to a previously arranged sche-
dule. Through the courtesy and co-
operation of Russian and Japanese
government officials, Evans and Wells
were granted special landing field fa-
cilitles on their trans-Siberia flight,
and they arrived at Yokohama on July
3. A nine day voyage across the Pa-
cific brought them to Victoria on July
12. The. Evans-Wells schedule broke
down more completely after their ar-
rival in the United States than on any
other leg of the joruney, for it took
two days to cross the continent, and
they arrived at their starting point on
July 14. The actual time elapsed from
start to finish was 28 days, 14 hours
and 5 seconds, according to Vilhjalmu
Steffansson, noted explorer and official
timekeeper.
Mr. Evans remarked on his arrival
'in New York that among the three
things particularly impressive on the
journey was the backwardness of
j American civil aviation, in compari-
son to the perfection of civil flying
in Germany. "The other outstanding

impression," Mr. Evans said, "was
our friendly treatment by the Rus-
sian and Jananese officials who did
everything they could to falicitate
our journey."
The .record made by Evans and{
Wells lowers by better than seven
days the previous record of 35 days,
21 hours, and 35 minutes which was
made by 4ohn Henry Mears of New
York in 1913.
AITON TO TALK ON
MONROE DOCTRINE
Prof. Arthur S. Aiton, of the his-
tory department, will address the
Hispanic-American club on the sub-
ject "The Changing Monroe Doctrine"

"Red Feather," by DeKoven, wasI
presented by Mimes in 1920, and suc-
ceeding presentations gained for the
organization the distinction of being
the leading producer of legitimateI
plays on the campus. *1A its present
home, recognized as being the most
complete of all college theaters, the
organization has presented in the
past, such works as Verhaen's "The
Cloister," "The Thirteenth Chair,"
and "Release." Last year Gilbert's fa-
mous burlesque, "Engaged", "The
Beggarman", an old seventeenth cen-1
tury farce translated by Prof. 0. J.
Campbell of the English department,
and Eugene O'Neill's trilogy of sea
plays, "S. S. Glencairn," were pre-
sented.

Missouri Politician Declares

He Will1

Not Be Candidate To Succeed
Himself In 1929
GIVES TALKIN DETROIT
(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, March 15.-National po-
litical circles were provided another
riddle today in the somewhat vague
statement here by Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri that "he is out of
politics.d
The statement made during an at-
tack on reform agencies of the nation
made at a dinner Monday night, was
characterized by Senator Reed as his
farewell message to the people of the
nation on matters of public policy.
The senator, who has been men-
tioned as a possible presidential can-
didate in the next election, did not
elucidate further regarding hs politi-
cal status other than to mention that
he will not remain in the senate. He
had announced previously that he
would not be a candidate to succeed
himself at the expiration of his term
in 1929.
"I am out of politics, so I can speak
impartially," the Missourian said in
launching into his attack. "For 25
years I have fought the encroach-
ments of the semi-Socialist, semi-
feudal idea, that government and law
are instituted and maintained for the
purpose of directing the individuals
conduct.
"Speaking as a citizen and from the
background of my entire career in
public life, I wish I could get a mess-
age to the American people with all
the conviction possible, that we are
going to wreck this government and
destroy this nation unless we get back
to the principle upon which the con-
stitution was founded-the doctrine
of an inalienable right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness, the right
of every man to realize his own ideal
without infringement by any other
man or set of men.
"I am not going to stay in the
United States to carry on this fight.
Someone else must take it up and
carry on."

man yesterday.
The banquet, which will be attend-

CLUB TO PRESENT
SPANISHPICTURE
At a meeting of the Romance club
held Tuesday afternoon at the Union,
it was decided to present a Spanish
motion picture, "Jose," at Hill audi-
torium on April 5, provided 400 tickets
could be sold between then and Thurs-
day. The picture is entirely Spanish,
the story being laid in a fishing vil-
lage in northern Spain.

VAUDEVILLE SHOW
Definite postponement of the Mimes
Spotlight vaudeville, scheduled for1
tomorow, Friday and Saturday nights i
in the Mimes theater was announced
yesterday by officers of Mimes. The
postponement was made necessary.
due'to the fact that the late arrival of!
the books for "To The Ladies," the
next offering of Mimes, will make it
necessary to utilize all of the time
available for rehearsals of that show.,
"To the Ladies," a farce comedy by
George Kaufman and Marc Connely,
will open Monday night, March 22, in
the Mimes theater. Tickets for all six
performances, which will be given
every night next week, will go on
sale Friday at the box office of the
Mimes theater and may be reserved
by phone at the Union. They are pric-
ed at 75 cents. Rehearsals for "To
the Ladies" started Monday.

Today will be the last opportunity
for senior men of the literary class,
to order their canes, according to an

at the table in University hall.
Plans are being made for the dis-
