(By Assoiated Pres)' GENEVA, Sept. 24.-Germany-once regarded as the greatest military pow- er in the world-is now disarmed and calmly waits for her neighbors to do likewise, Dr. StrVemann, the' German foreign secretary declared tonight in a plea from the -rostrum of the As- sembly of the League of Nations for. the speeding up of preparations f/r an international conference for re-I duction of armaments. Hitting at former enemies in the Great War, he continued by citing an incident" of a citizen who appeared among the peaceful crowd in the ancient Roman forum armed to the teeth, and who, when justifying his arms on the ground that he feared he might be attacked, was asked, "Who did you leave to be so afraid?" . "We in Germany," quietly remarked the Reich leader, "are often tempted to say tlfat to our neighbors. Scores Use of Arms. Dr. Stresemann insisted that arma- ments could not and should not form the basis of security, arguing that their inevitable defect was a threat to other nations. Imploring the dele- gates of more than 50 nations not to shake the faith of mankind that a better future will follow the dark days of the war, lie asserted the League of Nations could not endure r. unless the duty of general diXima- iment was discharged. Dr. Stresemann, M. Paul-Boncour. of France, Dr. Loudon of Holland, and Senator DeBrouckere, Socialist parlia- mentarian of Belgium, all spoke /nen the. disarmament plans were sub- mitted to the Assembly. It was a powerful address of Ser, ator -DeBrouckere who acted as re- porter for thQ disarmament committee, w 1hi p u.allen ed the most attention. With years of experience in thf League's disarmament efforts, he solemnily warned his hearers that the road to success would be long and perilous; yet he eloquently painted a picture of ferij.nt faith that the goal will finally be reached. Interest Growing Stronger. He emphlasized, however, that the slowness o disarmament was causing the mumurs of the people to grow louder and louder, and declared that =multitudes are determined to know the exact nature of the obstacles im- peding peace, and determined also to prove that a man is not a primitive brute destined forever to slay h fellows. An impr.ive feature of today's session, which was adjourned until Monday morning for resunttion of the disarmament discussion, was a solemn roll call on the question of the acceptance of the Polish for outlaw- ing wars of aggression and the settle- ment of conflicts of whatever nature by pacific means. Every nation vpt- ed "Yes." Pact System I Favored. The general tenor of today's speech- res was that If the system of security pacts like those of Locarno can be extended, every country will be ready to accept lower standards of arma- ments when the disarmament confer- ence is held. Pedro Iniguez, former minister of jAstice of Chi le, advocated region as well as general security agreements and emphasized that the interdepend. once of the interests of all nations which are primarily economic, is daily takings the world toward the neces- sity of stjilizing peace. Dr. Loudon, who is president of the League's preparatory commission, on which the United tSates is represent- ed, said that America's idea of the outlawry of war deserved earnest, consideration. ars Not Banned- At Northwestern' (;y Associated Press)j EVANSTON, Sept. 24.-A ban on the Autaomoblle Ban Seems To Have Played Havoc With Commuters BY KERNEL The, Union and its dances have changed. Motorized dates have ended, and in place of the wheezing cars of " a popular make".and the purring eight cylinder sport models that grac- ed the parking space last year the lights in the Union yard show nothing but long rows of emptiness. In the lobby the gentlemen are using ill language because some sorority has moved a mile further out, and several conscientiously resolve never to take another woman student from that house to the Union. During the early hours of the evening an in- termittent taxi glides up to the side door of the building, discharging a plutocratic non-conformist who draws nothing but slight sneers from the on- lookers. Whether the exceptionally large crowds at the dances both last night and the/night before were due to the automobile ban or the fact that they were the opening nights is a matter of conjecture, but the fact remains that rarely, with the exception of football week-ends, has the ballroom been so well filled at a week-end party. Most of the women students seem to have accepted their hard fate of walking with resignation,- for there was not diminution of customary cheerfulness at the parties either night; and one would never guess from the outside that the frail crea- turesthere in attendance had walked anywhere from a block to two miles to reach the place, and faced another similar stroll on the way home. The idea that the abolition would reduce Michigan to a democratic basis, however, is a delusion, for as long as there remains a 70 cent difference between a taxi and no taxi th Uni- versity will be no more nearly demo- cratic than it ever has been. If gas lights were installed in the Union, however, and a row of hitching posts placed before the building, together with a giant stove in each room to heat the place and a bar around the corner, the automobile ban would certainly contribute its share for an excellent atmospheric background to an old-fashioned party. FOREIGN STUDENTS URGED LITTLE TO SEEK GOO1) IN AMERICANS COSMOPOLITANS HEAR UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTi AT OPENING MEETING1 BY1 I Naval Inquiry Into Magruder's Conduct Centers On Violations Of Regulations .... -- LEGION, LEAVES PARIS AS CONVENTION ENDS Verdun, Rheims Belfort, Soissons and Rome Are Centers of Attraction For World War Veterans. ITALY OFFERS WELCOME (By Associated Press) PARIS, Sept. 24.-The American Legion is marching away from Paris. Verdun, Rheims, Belfort, Soissons anji Rome were the destination of sev- eral thousand legionnaires who left the French capital today. Belfort, that stout old French citadel in th'e East- ern frontier, provided a fireworks for the French reception to the Americans today. The great exodus began with the de- parture from Gare Lyons of a special train for Rome. The train will stop at Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo. Premier Mussolini will greet the legionaires on their arrival at the Italian capital and today three French' I ministers wished them Godspeed as they set out for Italy. From the highest official to the last novice, there was nothing but satis- faction with the success of the con- ventin and gratitude to the French for their welcome. At -Belfort, which city is now known as France's 1871 Verdun, Premier Poincare himself came from his summer home in Lor- raine to bid his American friends goodbye. He made the most concilia- tory address towards his late ene- mies that he has pronounced since the Armistice. "We know that if mistrust is the mother of security, excessive mistrust may cause wars," he said. "Attempts at cooperation have been made re- Scently, but they cannot for the moment bring us complete security. "The absence of the United States from the League of Nations constrains us to consider, if not probable, at least possible eventualities which would place us in the necessity of protecting ourselves and our friends. "France is animated by the most peaceful of dispositions. Belfort, in- violate, both in 1870 and 1914, stands for the symbol, stands in defense not in attack." M. Andre Tardieu, minister of public works, speaking in English', recalled his old Washington acquaintances during the war. It was remarked today that Foreign Minister Briand had retained a dis- creet reserve and kept religiously away, not attending any Legion func- tions. There were many rumors that the French cabinet was divided concern- ing the manner in which the American Legion should be received. A few straggling legionaires are are still visible on the boulevards of Paris but they seem to be in fear of the "M. P.'s. The banking companies are especially besieged for them. They stand in lines around these offices cashing checks to defray the expenses of the voyage home.

DANA SPEAKS AT ANNUAL CAMPFIREI "While the School of Forestry hasl expanded considerably, it still is keep- ing up the traditions which have made Michigan one of the best forestry schools in America," Dean Samuel T. Dana declared at the annual camp- fire of the foresters of the University TELLS OF GENEVA TRIP Told That United States Is Too In- volved With Own Internal Problems To Help Other Nations President Clarence Cook Little urged all foreign students of the Uni- versity to look for the good in Ameri- cans, showed them why America at the present time had too much to do right here in the United States to at- tempt to help the rest of the world settle their problems, and gave his views on the Geneva situation at the first meeting of the Cosmopolitan club held Saturday night at Lane hall. Opening his remarks with a tinge of humor President Little said, "Amer- ica will turn out plenty of Fords to make the world a smellier and harder place to live in, it will continue to give the world all the latest improve- ments that give speed and comfort, but it has not, as yet, found itself enough to forecast just what is going to be its intellectual contribution, its gift of culture to the world. At the present time I am wondering if we would not be better off without all these appliances that America is giv- ing. It appears to me that we would be accomplishing far more worth while things if we did not have them. For our brains are becoming para- lyzed, we are becoming quite sluggish, and the whole attitude of the Ameri- can nation is far from one conducive to the best in mental achievement."i Explains "Three Pitfalls" Explaining that the United States as a nation had, in its cojparatively short history, fallen into three pit- falls, the first being at the very out- set, when things tended to mediocrity, and from which we recovered, the' second the Civil War, from which. we had a remarkable recovery, and the third this present danger cheapness in thought and achievement. Declar- ing his belief that all of America was well tied up in this tangle, saying that : most of the citizens had managed to fall into the swamp, President Little expressed concern over the outcome. Having just returned from a trip abroad, having had a chance to view the conditions at Geneva from a first hand angle, President Little contend- ed that the world at large is better off with the United States out of Euro- pean politics. "There are too many religious and racial problems right here at home," he said, "and too many political tangles for us to solve for our own country before we could be of any value as far as co-operation or advice is concerned. We have politi- cal parties that have not had an original thought for years, we boast religious toleration and have some of the most intolerant Christians the world knows. All we can lend the world is bulk, and that is not always'1 a desirable factor." Urges Independent Tliiking In conclusion President Little urged all the members of the Cosmopolitan club, who are thinking in internation- al terms, to get each others views as' well as the American's, not to become biased by the University, and to air their questions. doubts, and sugges- tions through the channels of their club. Raja Howrani, new president of the Cosmopolitan club, presided over the meeting, which was more in the form of a social affair than a business meeting. He announced the program for the year, and introduced the new officers.I Maugazine Article Of Rear-Admiral Is Studied By Officials (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The Navy department's informal inquiry into the conduct of Rear-Admiral .Thomas T. Magruder, in writing a magazine article criticizing the Navy turned today on what regulations may have been violated by the officer. This will be determined before any official steps of a disciplinary nature will be taken, but it was said at the department that some action undoubt- edly would be taken. . Admiral Magruder's article is be- ing studied by high officials of the de- partment to determine if it contains specific misstatements of facts, wheth- er in writing he was disrespectful to superior officials, or whether he could be charged with insubordination. Secretary Wilbur, who has refused to discuss the case, disclosed today, however, that the admiral had failed to follow the usual practice of sub- mitting articles to the department be- fore they are published. In reply to inquiries, he also said that it was the admiral's second offense as he did not submit a previous magazine article dealing with cruisers., The naval regulations do not state whether articles written by naval per- sons shall be submitted to the depart- ment before or after publication and there is a division of opinion among naval officers as to whether Admiral Magruder could not abide by the reg- ulations by filing copies of the articles with the department now. A young officer is now in the midst of a courtnartial for failing to submit his manuscripts before publication. His case, however, also included an- other alleged violation for writing un- der an assumed name. Officials of the navy explained that it is not the department's policy to attempt to "gag" officers, but the regu- lation is designed to prevent inac- curacies from creeping into publica- tion and to safeguard against divulg- ence of military information. Commenting on Admiral Magruder's strictures on the organization of the Navy, Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, said: "I would like to have a Magruder in every department in Washington." .. i AUTO BAN VIOLAT( MAY BE DISCIPLI? If ABUSE CONTINI POLISH BILL.ADOPTED BHY LEAQUEASSEMBLY Resolution Outlaws Aggressive Wars; Provides Peaceful Means for 1 Settling Disputest PRINCIPLES BIND STATES (By Associated Press)r GENEVA, Sept. 24.-The League ofj Nations assembly today adopted, by a unanimous roll call vote, the recentlyi introduced Polish resolution outlaw-t ing wars of aggression. t The resolution solemnly delarest that "all wars of aggression are and always shall be prohibited and that every pacific means must be employed to settle disputes of every description which may arise betweent states." It binds states which are me'inbers' of the league to conform to the prin- ciples thus enunciated. M. Sokal, the Polish delegate who introduced the resolution, described itt not as a diplomatic instrument but as= a strong recommendation by the as- sembly. The next item adopted was the report made by Senor Gue'rero of Salvador on the private manufac- ture of arms and the publicity of3 manufacturing figures . A resolution attached to the re- port asked the league council and the special committee studying private manufacture to work upon a single text so that the council will be able' to call an international conference on the subject as speedily as possible. M. de Bruckere, of Belgium, then presented a report on the work oft the preparatory disarmament commis- sion and on the resolution concerning' arbitration, security and disarmament which is a compromise upon the ideas of the French, German, Finnish, Swed-' ish and several other delegations. The resolution is regarded as one of the most important to come before the assembly. AYTON AVIATIOR WINS PRIZE RACE (By Associated Press) SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 24.-Lient. E. C. Batten, of Wright field of Day- ton, Ohio, won the Spokesman-Re- view free-for-all trophy race for Army, Navy and Marine corps planes, hurl- ing his Curtiss hawk over a 120-mile course at a speed often exceeding 200 miles an hour in the national ovr races here today.

Courses =in Chinese history, offered by the history department for the firstI time, have been proved popular by the immediate enrollment of more than 45c upperclassmen and graduate students. Dr. Esson M. Gale, an Amercan ad- niinistrator in the Chinese Govern> ment Salt Revenue department for the 13 years, is giving the courses. "While the basis of o' ciental civil- ization must continue to be studiedl through the early history of the na- tions of the Mediterranean basin and+ the comparatively recent history of Europe, American Interest is turn- ing more and more towards specific Asia." according to Dr. Gale.+ "It is largely due to American cul- tural influences that both China and Japan are adopting the poitical con- cepts of the West in their present re- form programs. The' strikng events in China of the past two years,. seriously endangeri'ng American and Chinese relations cannot be under- stood, and the situation cannot be met! so long as there is a neglect of Orient- al studies in American schools and colleges. This need is being recog- nized and courses in the development of far eastern civilization have now been established at several of the prin- cipil Ufniversities and Colleges in the United tSates. The lectures will be comprehensive, including the origins of the Chinese people and their enlargement through- out Eastern Asia, their cultural and institutional development, which in- clude the principles governing the written language as expressed in the idegraph. One of the lecture courses will phow the increasing interest of other countries in China, emphasis laid especially upon the interest ofE modern times. All the present fast- changing governmental affairs, suci' as the rise of regional, control by mil- itary chieftains and the nationalist movement, will be covered. Mr. Gale has recently returned to this ,country f)ijm China to conduct. the courses. He has been engaged in studying the Chinese people since hIs appointment to the American legation at Peking in 1908. While there he studied the Chinese language with Dr. C. D. Tenney, a well-known authority on Chinese. Mr. Gale has traveled extensively throughout China and has received two decorations, Order of the Chia Ho (Golden Grain), for services to the Chinese government.

MICHAELSON WILL STUDY1 kiV II7 lr-UtC nn n ~i ?Arj' NO DRASTIC ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN YET TO PUNISH RULING BREAKERS LICENSE FEE IS REDUCED New Bus System Inaugurated At First Of Week Is Functioning Well According To Emery At the end of the first week of an auto-less campus, no students have been subpect to drastic disciplinary' action for violation of the ruling of the Board of Regents, placing a ban on student operated automobiles. "It is probable," declared Assistant Deant Harvey C. Emery, "that with contin- ued deliberate violation of the ruling more severe action will result." During the past week more than 100 permits to drive have been issued bringing the total number to more than 275 student permits. The license fee charged by the University for:per- mits has been reduced from five dol- lars to one dollar. Students who have already obtained their permits and paid the five dollar fee will be granted refunds. This change has been made because it has (been decided that the former fee was unfair, in view of the fact that a large percentage cf the permits to drive have been granted to students who operate their cars in order to earn part of their livIng ex- penses in school. The new bus system inaugurated at the beginning of the week is function- ing very efficiently, according r, As- sistant Dean Emery. The students in general have co-operated with this phase of the situation in the spIrtn with which they have accepted the ruling. University authorities are well pleased with the co-operation of the students, says Joseph A. Bursley, dean of students. Assistant Dean Em- ery, who has charge of the enforce- ment of the ruling, declares: "The automQobile rule has ,been -accepted In" fine spirit by the students and people in general. There have been objec- tions, of course; but it would be un- natural if there were not."' Students of the University living in Ann Arbor are receiving the same treatment as students from o0tside of the city. Permits for Ann Arbor students have been granted largely in the case of these students wishing to chauffeur for their families. It is un- fair to allow students from outside the -ity to drive between their home towns and Ann Arbor, even if only to their place of residence here, says Dean Emery, for Ann Arbor students are not allowed this privilege, if they do not have permits. The automobile ruling will be in- terpreted by University officials to mean that students should not have automobiles at their disposal, accord- ing to Dean Bursley. iAny, methods employed by students is a patent ef- fort to evade the ruling, such as the employment of chauffeurs, or the keep- ing of automobiles outside of AnnAr- bor, will be considered as violations of the ruling, and will be treated as such, declares Assistant Dean Emery,. AUTIORITIES SEIZE SIX REELS OF FIGHT FILMS (y Associated Press) CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-A general con- spiracy to distribute throughout the country Tunney-Dempsey and Demp- sey-Sharkey fight films was seen by authorities here today following the seizure of six reels of the champion- ship match as they were about to be taken out of the state b/y airplane. United States attorneys declared they would look to the grand jury to handle' the affair, Oscar R. Luring, assistant attorney-general, intimating he expected a number of indictments. Fiive of the six reels seized were re- leased by Federal Judge James A. Wilkerson, who ordered one film, showing the entire fight, Impounded.
