over the reigns for the moment, but
conscientious though he may be and
undoubtedly is, the hand that staved
off the return of Carol is dead-and
there seems none to take its place.
It is stating it very midly indeed to
say that the intervention of death at
this time is little short of disastrous
for Roumania. The security of the
monarchy of Michael was a security
of Bratiano, and lest some equally
powerful man take the helm and take
it at once it is almost inevitable that
Carol will attempt a return, and that
there will either be civil war or sub-
mission to one of the most despicable
and dissolute men who has ever claim-
ed a contemporary European throne.
It is possible that this saving lead-
ership may arise, and that the same
Providence which took Bratiano at the
crucial moment may arise up an equal-
ly powerful successor. It is almost
inconceivable, however, that this
transmutation can be accomplished
without instability, suffering, and
possibly bloodshed. Roumania's sit-
uation is far from enviable.
Because of the tremendous moment
of his death, however, we must not
overlook the eulogistic estimate of
this man Bratiano which stamps him
as one of the mightiest figures ever
reared in the Balkans. Coming as he
did, from an old and powerful family
which led in the overthrow of Turk-
ish control in 1848, and which placed
the house of Hohenzollern on the
throne in 1868, Ionel Bratiano has
from his earliest connections wielded
a tremendous influence over Rou-
mania. During the past few years
this influence has steadily increased,
and since the war Bratiano, whether
as foreign ininister or as premier, has
enjoyed the prerogatives of a practical
dictator.
The stability and progress of Rou-
mania during this period has been
a testimonial to his capability; and
what incalculable effects his fall at
this crucial period may have on Rou-
mania can only be conjectured.
"Tank" Wieman, head coach of the
Michigan football squad, must go at
once, ,s the ultimatum issued by the
Grand Rapids Alumni association,
makers of Michigan's football reputa-
tion.
* * *
"Wieman asked for our advice in
running the team and we're giving it,"
declared the ultimatum. "Our best
advice to him is to turn the job over
to someone else."
* * *
"Any so-called coach who allows a
Michigan team to lose two games in a
season is a positive detriment," de-
clared the association. "We believe
an amateur could do better."
"Wieman is an egg and looks like
one," declared Harry Bullyawn, secre-,
tary of the association. "The sooner
we put him on the pan the better."
"It only took us eight years to get
rid of Yost as head coach," concluded
Secretary Bullyawn. "We are doing1
our best to give Michigan the greatest
football teams in the country, and
we'll do it if we have to coach them
ourselves."

"MR. PIL PASSES BY"
A review, by R. Leslie Askren.
For their Thanksgiving matinee the
Theater Guild allowed Mr. Pim to pass
by, with the natural bombshell results
in an English country home when the
wife becomes a bigamist, at least for a
few minutes, and the husband becomes
a moralist. A. A. Milne, in this delight-
ful comedy of high-blown morals, has
woven an amusing web of situations
which in the end solve a problem of
young love that much deserved the
solution arrived at.
But "Mr. Pim Passes By" is a com-
edy hung on the peg of the wife's
character. Florence Eldridge played
this part, which leads to the observa-
tion that as a comedienne Miss Eld-
ridge is a beautiful young lady. Per-
sonally, we can forgive beautiful
young ladies anything including a
'flubbed' part, but we feel it our duty
in critical capacity to mention the
fact. Undoubtedly she is a capable
actress, a# .splendid dramatic actress,
but when -ure-fire comedy lines flop
under a burden of drama it is safe to
say the actress is miscast. George
Gaul on the other hand was splendid
as George Marden, English country
gentleman. Ile gave an inspired per-
formance-whether inspired by his
genius or some more artificial stim-
ulus hardly matters. The spontane-
ous 'ad lib' in the third act was ex-.
tremely clever. It may be an illustra-
tion in point.
Erskine Sanford, of course, practic-
ally stole the show with his perfectly
charming playing of poor old Carr-
away Pim, who so innocently cast
the bomb into the unsuspecting house-

The Parents' Paper
INDORSED BY
PRESIDENT LITTLE
"I think the idea of the pro-
posed Michigan Weekly is a
very good one and hope that It
may meet with success. It
seems to me calculated to keep
those who have an Interest In
the University, but do not live
in Ann Arbor, in touch with af-
fairs here In a very sensible and
efficient way. I know that there
must be many parents of Michi-
gan students and many alumni
who would appreciate such a
paper as the students have In
mind to publish."
i
The Michigan Weekly, the newest mem-
ber of the Michigan student publications, has
been established. The purpose of this pub-
lication will be to give parents of Michigan
students and other people interested in the Uni-
versity a source of reliable information con-
cerning University events.
The Michigan Weekly will carry only
news of campus events, sporting news and
editorials from the Michigan Daily. There
will be no advertising in the paper.

LATE AS USUAL
The many lectures and concerts
which have been held on the campus
this year have proved again that Ann
Arbor audiences are among the tardi-
est in the country. It is not an un-
usual thing for performers 'to start,
their program a .quarter or half an
hour late on account of a lackadaisical
attitude on the ; part of those whom
they expect to entertain.
This lack of punctuality was shown
to best advantage at the Hofmann-
Luboshultz concert, last Wednesday
night. The concert was scheduled for
8 o'clock; it really started at 8:15;
and at least 400 people were admitted
when the first part was over at 8:30.
These tardy ones are a source of
great annoyance to the artists, and it
is a wonder that many of them return
for other perforiances after such
treatment and. disturbance. It is no
easy matter <to sing or play before
5,000 persons4 no matter how much1
experienced. ,It displays an extreme
discourtesy on th part of those who
are to benefit fr6in the artist's talent.
It would be a distinct improvement
if the audiences were in their seats in
time for concerts and lectures which
are to be given throughout the re-1
mainder of teschool year.h

CHANGE OF HEART
Before a dinner party of more than
a thousand New York representative
business men and bankers, Manue
Quezon, president of the Philippin
Senate, a few days ago declared him
self in favor of a compromise in th
island political situation. The Philip
pine statesman has always in the pas
been the strongest advocate of com
plete and unqualified independence
and his announcement came as a dis
tinct surprise to such a gathering
He declared himself rather in favor
of a mutually advantageous arrange
ment whereby both countries should
receive what they desire most.
It is evident that 'the Philippine de-
sire is for political independence
'while that of the United States is fo
freedom to protect its Far East trade
and to develop commercial enterprise
Quezon pleaded most for an early
settlement, stating that American
capital was too conservative to come
in at present without a decision one
way or the other. Despite the fact
that it is to the advantage of this
country to mantain its Philippine
trade relations, and to the advantage
of the islands to affect an early settle-
ment, it would certainly be unwise to
hastily arrange to maintain commerce
without regard to future politics. The
consequences of future disarrange-
ment do not seem to enter into the
president's scheme.
Throughout the Quezon speech, par-
ticular emphasis was put on self-gov-
ernment, although It was definitely
s'tated that this should not mean an
end to American sovereignty. Un-
doubtedly the predictions of a great
increase in the volume of trade in
that quarter and also of a spreading
movement for nationalism throughout
the Orient are correct, but the time is
not so short as to warrant too hasty
action.

THE FAKE
In view of the assertions of the
United States weather bureau offi-
cials, and the past record of Frederick
Giles, it appears that the recent al-
leged attempt to fly to Honolulu from
San Francisco is what would be term-
ed a fake. Giles first asserted that
he was forced to turn back by a ter-
rific storm at sea, and when confront-
ed with the report of the weather
bureau showing that there was no
storm, altered his statement to de-
clare that 'the disturbance was merely
atmospheric, and could not have been
noticed by the ships from which the
weather bureau receives its reports.
The American public will not too
hastily condemn, to be sure, and if
Giles is serious in his attempt and
returns to achieve his goal that pub-
lic will surely display the charity for
which it is noted. Just now, however,
it seems that there can be vary littlet
popular sympathy for a man, who hav-
ing spent $150,000 of his backer's
money, is involved in a situation
before your life is ended.
What are you doing today to
make those desires a reality?
The day of believing in miracles and wonderworking

We must work our own miracles today.
Money, when used in the right way, will make your life more
complete because you will be able to add to the common
run of life those things that the heart wishes most to have.
