that the issuance of the loans will not
affect in any way the relations if-the
United States with the country which
is seeking the loan.
Since the matter is vested by the
Constitution in the hands of the
President, and since the President has,
at afl times, shown himself ever
vigilant and wise where the interests
of the United States are at stake, it
would seem that his pledge that such
a practice is necessary ends the mat-
ter for once and all. England main-
tains the same policy. And for the
same resason which is given by the1
President-the protection of her for-
eign policy.
Carter Glass may have had good
reasons for the charges which he pre-
fers, but they are reasons that have
little weight in the face of the fact
that the President of the United
States, in his capacity as advisor and
administrator of the foreign policy
of the nation, has seen fit to inaugu-
rate and continue the policy. The
matter should be considered settled.
LIGHTING FIRES
As the latest broadside from the
mayoral guns, the mayor of Chicago
has announced that the trial of Wil-
liam McAndrew, former superintend-
ent of schools, will extend its scope
to the whole world issue of pro-
British sentiment in the United States.
-e has .lso made it knokn that this
is a campaign to prove that Great
Britain is secretly and insidiously
disseminating its propaganda in this
country. Lastly the executive has it
that this campaign will make Chicago
the center of an interest that will "be,
national if not international."
As to the last assertion, no doubt
Chicago will again be the heir of a
vast amount of attention from the,
public of this and other countries-I
especially that of Great Britain. But
if ballyhoo is all that is wanted, there
are ever'so many other and pleasanter
ways of going about getting it. The
present state is saved from serious-
ness only by the comical figure that
is cut by Mayor Thompson.
Moderately out of reach of his per-
sonality, it is difficult for an average
individual to believe that Thompson
is carrying on his work in all serious-
ness, believing ideas that were in
vogue during the days of the Lexing-
ton minute-men, and expecting to
arouse in his countrymen a fear that
"the British are coming."
The total effect of the great Chicago
crusade is that of a back-handed slap
at a neighbor, delivered in burlesque
fashion. The humor may perhaps,

The unfortunate Freshmen who
have looked up the location of their
seats for the Ohio game have at last
been brought face to face with the
sad news that they must wait until
they are alumni before they can act-
ually see a Michigan football team in
action.
* * *
Those of us who have been here a
little longer are able to take a more
philosophic view of the matter, since
it won't be so long until we oureselves
will be alumni. But we can still sym-
pathize with the Freshmen for their
freshly provoked grief.
* * .
The trouble isn't that the powers
(that be object particularly to the stu-
dents. They just have too many
friends to take care of.
* * *
Some day it may be possible for
the Athletic association to allot stu-
dents other than the most inferior
positions in the stadium. Some day,
too, it may be possible to escape the
blundering wing of an unwelcome
paternalism. Some day our Univer-
sity may be administered upon a code
other than the tenets of the S. P. C. A.
But all this, of course, is hopeless
idealism.

HIDING THEIR LIGHTS UNDER
A BUSHEL
Much surprise was manifested
about The Daily office yesterday upon
the appearance of the modest an-
nouncement of the identity of the hero
and heroine who are to represent us
in the Michigan special film produc-
tion of University life.
* * *
Evidently the ones who boss our
Daily, the managing editor and wo-
men's editor respectively, were going
to keep their secret as long as possible.
But when the Detroit papers came out
with the full story, they decided they
might as well confess.
* * *
Screen names have not as yet been
selected by the prospective stars, but
we hope the selections will be in ac-
cordance with the plot, which was
characterized as mild.
* * *
DUE to their overwhelming sense
of modesty, the guilty parties have
banned all press notices from the
columns of The Daily. However,
Rolls will always be on the job,* and

"ON APPROVAL"
Last night the cast of "On Ap-
proval" spent a bad four hours with
Mr. Shuter perfecting the lines and
business of Frederick Lonsdale's lat-
est contribution to British social his-
tory. For although it is outwardly
a rather normal play of the sophisti-
cate gentry of Mayfair, it is not easy
to transfer to the boards.
There are three acts of parlor talk
-interesting, witty, occasionally dirty,
and without an abundance of plot.
Then there are but four characters
and the problem here is to insert color
and variety into its goassamer bril-
liance and brittle situation. The cast
has to be perfect-perfect in the art
of splitting double entendres and bon
mots with precision and dispatch.
In short, it is Mimes' task to cap-
ture this brilliance that must remain
fresh and brisk, and to insulate the
action against any tenedency to drag
or halt. In short, there is a reputa-
tion for well prepared drama that has
to be born out. "On Approval" should
maintain this standard. It looks good
in rehearsal.

GRACE MOORE FOR THE
METROPOLITAN
Grace Moore, of the "Music Box
Revue" and sundry musical comedies,
and even the Paris Opera-Comique
has signed a contract to sing at the
Metropolitan this season. This is the
most sensational announcement Gatti-
Cazazza has made this season, except
perhaps that Greta Stuckgold is going
to sing in the Wagner cycle which
opens tonight.

THE MUSICAL DIGEST
With a cover like something out of
Cabell-a brass cymbal striking fire
into black noon; it has improved de-
cidedly of late-This Vanity Fair of
Music; it has smart articles, clever
sketches, and an aire decidedly of ex-
clusiveness--oddly enough for a music
magazine:
An outstanding article is Mussolini's
plan for Italian music. In one word,
"Avanti." A determined advance,
progress hell-bent is his dream and
to the end of achieving it he has taken
the usual dictatorial measures. Mus-
solini has a lot of fingers, one of
which is now deep in the Musical pie.
But then, the Italians are an amazing-
ly recuperative race.
Another article deals with Opera
as an art form and more or less sum-
marily damns the boors and louts who
have so vociferously insisted on de-
crying the artistry and art of Opera.
But author Hatton admits that per-
haps there is some truth in the mat-
ter for it was only a short while ago
that Wagner was born, the saviour of
opera for the intelligent and critical.

"CAMELS," by Daniel W. Streeter;
New York; G. P. Putma's Sons;
1027; $2.0.
A review, by Merle Rane.
The lure of the Sudan! What is it
and why do men do it? The answer is
"Camels." Streeter gives evidence of
a Mark Twainian humor in this nar-
rative colored with the vivid descrip-
tive power similar to the genius
of Stephen Crane. It is another
"travel romance" as irresistible as
"The Royal Road To Romance," or
"The Glorious Adventure" that have
come to take such a prominent place
in the public eye. "Camels" is span-
gled with humor. Streeter and his
companion are as "babes in the wood"
hunting for bush buck with an Arabic
dictionary. We are both thrilled and
amused to find that they learn that
infuriated buffalo have a "touchy"
disposition, that tempestuous ele-
phants that haunt their "forest
primeval", are capable of masticating
acacia +rees as an "hors d'oeuvre,"I
yes, they were "playful fellows" as
they uprooted great trees that thund-
ered to the earth a few feet away fromI
these safari adventurers.
The author finds himself annoyed by
the regurgitating "coo" of the camel,
the inconsistent effort of his sleepy
donkey, the honey complexes of his
shikaris (trackers), the roistering
roar of the lion at night, and a thou-
sand other bothersome trifles that in-
flict the trespasser in these savage
woods. He never knows from one
minute to the next when he will re-
ceive his first instruction on the gold- 1
en harp, and while, thus contemplat-
ing, there is a charge of wild ele- !

"HUMANIZING" FIREMEN

Sunday's Daily wvas an announcement
of prime importance, a symbol of the
University policy of humanization.

Three shart blasts on the fire siren
to signify the end of any fire on Uni-
versity property is the plan adopted
to forward the great policy.

One of the chief interruptions of the
regular duties of the firemen is beingk
summoned to many fires of minor im-
portance. Even though they usually
arrive just in time to complete the
wreckage, it has always been con-
sidered necessary that they be called.

One lone suggestion was received
yesterday, just 10 minutes after the
cc '9.
AUDACIOUS ENGINEERS are filling our
popular publications with descriptions
of the cities of the future. We have all
seen their prophetic pictures: tiers of
gigantic buildings rising one hundred,
two hundred, three hundred stories
above four or five levels of street.
All the ingenuity of these prophets
is required to explain away, even
theoretically,=certain problems of con-
struction. IF this material can be made
to bear so much more strain; IF means
can be devised to ensure a solid foun-
dation -IF, IF.
One important detail, however, is
always taken for granted. "There will
be express elevators," they say, "from
the various street levels to the hun-
dredth and two hundredth floor."
THERE IVILL BE! We find no."if
in connection with the elevators.
For all builders have come to expect
a perfect solution of every interior
transportation problem, no matter
how audacious. As the cities of the
future are being planned, the OTIS
COMPANY expects that dependable
vertical transportation will continue to
be taken for granted by architects, en-
gineers, and the public.
