The party sailed aboard the Mor- rissey, famous ship of the Arctic, and captained by Robert Bartlett, of Peary fame. Aboard it was a party of scien- tists who were to collect specimens of the flora and fauna of the region ex- plored. Numerous museums and insti- tutes are interested in the expedition. Stop for final supplies for the Mor- rissey was made at Brigus, N. F. The entire town turned out to greet the ship. The ship sailed north from there and little word has been received from them since. They have been in radio communication with the outside world,1 but reports seeping through have been scanty in news value. As the party progressed farther north the ice floes grew thicker and they were bothered by the ever preva- lent Arctic fog. Captain Bartlett had to use the "questing lead" to pick his way through the shallow waters. A close watch was constantly needed to ward off dangerous icebergs. Members of the party have radioed tales of hunts for polar bears and killings at short range with revolvers. Two..Plankton nets were lowered for specimens whenever the ice permitted in order to collect specimens of the sea life. The shallower bottoms were dredged with clam-shaped instru- ments attached to lead weights. Inside of Fox Basin a whaleboat was sent from the Morrissey to explore the coast line. Professor Gould hopes by a study of the fossils of that region to correlate the history of North America with that of Europe. While the land expedition was *out, the Morrissey sailed up the opposite coast of Fox Basin to a rendezvous with the whale- boat. It was while making this trip LEGION FIGHTS MITCHELL PLAN First Convention Skirmish Conies When Aviation Resolution Is De-. feted; Government Entertains. I (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 21.-The American Legion today had it first convention fight and General "Billy" Mitchell, who not long ago stirred up much commotion in the American aviation service, lost his stand for immediate creation of a separate air department in the Cabinet. The convention, how- ever, adopted a resolution favoring consolidation of all branches of na- tional defense into one Cabinet de- partment... It was a day of final cleaning up of routine, and tonight was given over to electioneering in behalf of candi- dates for national officers of the Legion and tlre auxiliary. There were more patriotic cere- monies today, more big excursions to battle fields ald provinces and the best air circus the French army fliers could present to startle, amaze and amuse their brothers in arms. The solemn touch was given the day's proceedings when the great Os- suary at Verdun was dedicated to the memory of the French who died there. The men and women were feted at social affairs and there will be a few tomorrow. The last big affair and perhaps 'the most magnificent will be the French government ball tomorrow night. The Legion convention open meet- ing which furnishes plenty of color was not lacking in that element to- day when a short but snappy air fight occurred. The skirmish came over resolution recommending organiza- tion of an aviation department in the American government. The fight led by General Mitchell resulted in defeat for the former American aviation chief.

The first program will be inter- spersed with musical selections, mostly University numbers, by the Uiversity band, under the direction of Nicholas Falcone. Included in their part of to program will be "Varsity," "Victors" and "Yellow and Blue." CHEERING SECTION SEATS AVAILABLE TODAY AT UNION Due to the demand for seats in the improved and enlarged cheering sec- tion which has been arranged in the new stadium by the studet council and 'which will function at all of the 'home games, the office for the re- ceiving of applications for seats in, the section will be open again this afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock in the main lobby of the Union. The section is rapidly being filled, according to the statement of the of- ficials in charge, but there are a few choice blocks left. Applicants who have not yet made arrangements to sit in this section will be able to do so this afternoon. Under the new plan all of the seats in the section are located between the 33-yard lines. Students who elect to sit in these seats will be allowed to transfer their seats for others so that they may sit with their family or with friends at one or two of the home games. This arrangement is made possible by a cooperative plan of ex- I change between the student council and the athletic association. There will be no practice or nc organized sessions of cheering. The uniforms will be the same as last year and will be distributed at the time that the applicants present themselves at the Union. ARBITRATION, SECURITY. A N ) DISARMAMENT TEIMEI VITAL PROBLEMS EXPECT OUR COOPERATION Arms Connittee Unanimously Ap. Proves Graduated System of Se. curity A Propoed By France (1k, Associated P ress)., GENEVA, Sept. 21.-The weaving of the peace fabric at Geneva advanced swiftly today, bringing out in sharp relief the colors of arbitration and se- curity as vitally essential to the com- pleted tapestry, of which disarmament constitutes the third necessary ele- ment. Unanimous approval was given by the disarament committee, the most important organ of the League of Na- tions assembly, to a project, introduc- ed in its original form by the French delegation, whereby the League of Nations preparatory disarmament commission, while arranging for a general conference on limitation and reduction of armaments, will center its activities simultaneously on ex- tension of arbitration agreements and 4 a graduated system of security among the nations. Resolution Adopted A comprehesive resolution, which is considered certain to be approved by the assembly, was adopted today requesting the Council of the League to urge the preparatory commission, on which the United States is rep- resented, to hasten completion of its technical work, thus enabling the Council to convene a conference for the limitation and reduction of arma- ments at-the earliest possible date. While the United States is expected actively to continue its co-operation with the disarmament commission, the Washington government is not expect- ed to assume membership on another special commission which the resolu- tion envisages. The commssioh will discuss the best means of developing a workable system of arbitration and security among the nations. It will labor simultaneously with the main prepara- tory commission, but its membership will be restricted to nations belonging to the League. Jurists probably will sit on the commission because of the complicated judicial nature of the problems to be considered. .This special commission will be re- sponsible, however, to the main dis- armament commission on which the United States is represented. It will study means of. re-enforcing the League covenant by suggesting se- curity agreements, so that nations may graduate their commitments in proportion to the degree of solidarity existing between them and the elab- orate measures which the nation would be prepared to take in support- ing any recommendations or decisions of the Council in the event of a con- flict breaking out in any particular region. Physics Department Has New Professors Three new additions to the facully of the Physics department have been made this semester. Two of the Pro- fessors, Dr. Uhlenbeck and Dr. Goud- smit, are from the University of Leiden, Holland, wh'ile the third, Dr. Dennison, a Michigan graduate, has just returned from three years. at the University of Copenhagen.

Jones, Who Resigned I Spring INTRODUCENEW METHODS Robert W. Desmond, recently an editor on the Paris edition of the New York Herald, and formerly connected with the Milwaukee Journal and the Miami Herald, a graduate of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, has taken charge of the journalism classes, filling the place left vacant by the resignation of Mr. Howard P. Jones. Mr. Desmond came to the Univer- sity during summer session after spending a year in Paris on the New York Herald. He has had a varied ex- perience in journalism, working on the Milwaukee Times Weekly, going from there to Florida to work in Miami, and then to Milwaukee again to work on the Journal, staying there three years. He is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity, and graduated fron Wisconsin in 1922. ,Mr. Desmond will lecture and also direct a laboratory course which is an inovation, and aims at several things; to provide the students with a closer supervision, with more person- al attention, and to open up markets for the literary efforts of classes. There will be three laboratory sec- tions, meeting twice a week, for twb hour periods. To further facilitate the work of journalism students, a secretary-li- brarian has been added to the staff, who is in charge of all periodicals and books of the department. This is a step in the final acquirement of a library for the department. As was done last year, a free-lance class of writers will again be held this year. Prominent journalists and free- lance writers will address the class at frequent intervals. Besides the' addition of Mr. Des- mond, Mr. Haines has also been added, to the journolism department as a part time instructor and will have charge of the laboratory sections.
