is quite probable that foreign cititzens
will occupy a vastly different situa-
tion, if any, in the Chjna of the fu-
ture. The popular Cantonese partyl
which is objecting so strenously to'
control by foreigners promises to be
the successful one in the present civil
strife. In a general settlement, their
demands will have to be satisfied to
some extent or prove a source of
trouble thereafter. Ilow far world
powers will insists that certain privi-
leges be reserved to their citizens re-
mains Problematical. It is almost
certain, however, that they will not
repeat the gunboat methods of open-
ing up the interior of China which
were used after the Boxer affair in
1898.
The test of the Cantonese party- will
come in governing the territory which
they have and may conquer. If the
reports are, true, they have wisely
planned to set up a dictatorship until
the masses have become sufficiently
educated that a constitutional form of
government may be established. Their
success in attaining these ends will,
of course, be another matter. Prob-
ably because of the great bulk of
their nation, however, the Chinese
have always developed slowly and
gradually.
Ingthe diplomatic settlement of the
present difficulties, America will very
likely play a leading and important
role. Having no consession or sphere
of influence in China, as well as being
highly respected by the Chinese ,she
is preeminently fitted to regard sthe
situation with fairness, and to seek a
statesmanlike remedy.

HOSPITALITY LACKING
Nearly forty Cornell athletes were
disappointed last Saturday night
when, for the first time in years, no
banquet was tendered them follow-
ing the track meet at Yost Field
house.
To make matters emphatically
worse, "'a banquet at the Union" was
- scheduled, on the program which the
visitors were given upon their de-
parture from Ithaca, the information
for which was furnished by the track
management here. TIfe net was
finished before 10 o'clock. 'The Cor-
nell ,eam had nothing Ito do except
wait -until well past midnight for the
train home.
Michigan teams are entertained
with a banquet or smoker at Ithaca
every other year and the same custom
did exist in Ann Arbor until this year.
The Union arranged and financed the
affair until two years ago when Blue
Key took it over. The reorganized
Blue Key society attempte'd to handle
the affair this year but could raise no
funds for the purpose.
It is regrettable that the Athletc
association does not make some pro-
vision for defraying the expense of
occasional entertainment for visiting
teams. Michigan teams in various
sports are feted every now and then
yhen they play out-of-town, and not
always by the alumni. -
A banquet in honor of the Cornell
team would have been particularly'
fitting this year considering that
Michigan won. Instead, an annual
custom was broken. The 'Union can-
not be expected to finance such a pro-
ject, nor Blue Key for that matter.
Could not the Athletic association
take the responsibility on such oc-
casions?
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES {
With the general exodus of Amer-
icans and British from the Yangtze
valley, significant changes and prob-
lems of far reaching importance seem
to be appearing in the Chinese situa-
tion.
To some observers, the foreigners
are evacuating this territory with
little hope of returning. By the time
the affair is settled, many of their
possessions will have been seized or
destroyed by the Chinese. Their

ARTICLE v AE
The Alumni Memorial was chosen
as th4 home of this club, because no-
body ever goes near there and the
professors can raise as much racket
as they wish. They do.
* * *
Dignified professors throw aside
dignity and bluebooks, when they en-
ter the portals of their club. They
play billiards - and even checkers.
And-sh!--they have a soda fountain
down there.
* * S
Our investigajtor found out that pro-
'fessors arrange to give as many blue-
books as possible the same day so that,
they can all take the next day off for
correcting them, thereby losing only
the one day from the billiard table.

And-vone thing is absolutely taboo:
lecture jokes.
