Mr. Abbot characterized the pro- grain arranged for tomorrow night as one of the best of the current series and an excellecent one with which to inaugurate the new year. Four speak- ers will be heard through the micro- phone and two musicians will appear on the ttiusica side of the program. Gould Will Speak "Some Adventures in Remaking the Map of Baffin Island," will be the subject of Prof. Lawrence M. Gould of the geology department. Professor Could, who is a veteran explorer of the Arctic, at the present time is one of the leading candidates for member- ship in Commander Richard E. Byrd's South Pole expedition. While the per- sonnel of the group will not be chosen until March, it is quite probable that Professor Could will be included as chief geologist and geographer. Dur- ing the past summer, Professor Gould was in charge of the geographical work of the Putnam expedition, and before that accompanied the first University of Michigan expedition to Greenland. Dr. Reuben Peterson, professor of Obstetrics and Cynocology, and Bates professor of Diseases of Women and Children in the Medical school of the University will be the second speaker on the program, taking as his subject, "The Early Recognition and Cure of Cancer." Last year Dr. Peterson con- ducted a state wide campaign for the treatment of cancer. Prof. Daniel L. Rich of th physics department of the engineering college, who is a specialist in the elimination of noises in machinery, will be third speaker on tomorrow night's program. He will discuss, "Measurement of Noise in Automobiles." Professor Rich has done important work for many large automobile corporations and other manufacturing companies in the elimination of obnoxious noises. Recently, as the result of his research, an annoying squeak was eliminated from a milk separating machine, anl he has also devised i more perfect radio horn. Will lear Nelso "Dramatics and the University" will be the subject of the fourth talk of the evening by Prof. J.Raleigh Nelson of the English department. Professor Nelson has had charge of the Univer- sity of michigan Comedy club plays for many years and at the present time is direcin - one of Barrie's plays to be presented in fnn Arbor Jan. 11. His talk will have a particular appeal for those interested in amateur dra- matics and the theater. On the musical side of the program, three musical interludes will be pre- sented by Anthony J. Whitmire, in- structor in the violin at the University School of Music since 1913. Mr. Whit- wire Vas for three years a pupil of Witek and Barmas in Berlin, and has given many recitals in this part of the country as well as appearing in sev- eral ensemble groups. His home is in Ypsilanti. Ii addition to the interludes by Mr. Whitmire, several vocal selections will be rendered by Elizabeth Rarden, soIiol of Music soloist who was award- ed second place in the state Atwater Kent audition contest recently. Her home is in Greenville. Many Letters Ileceied More than 235 letters on the sixth Michigan Night program, broadcast Friday night, Dec. 9, have been re- ceived at the local studio. This is the largest number in the history of radio broadcasting at the University, ac- cording to Mr. Abbot, and letters are still pouring in to his office.

The vehicle has' been in rehearsal for some time past, as it was originally intended that it be !given before vacation began. Opera ' preparations crowded the work and it was postponed. Helen Mencken, who recently played the leading role in "The Captive," and who is now in the London company of "Seventh Heaven" played the part of Diane in the original production. Phyllis Loughton, '28, who last ap- peared in the title role in Comedy Club's "Dulcy" will carry the Mencken part. Others who will feature the cast will be Thomas J. Dougall, '28, f William M. Lewis Jr., '29, Robert M. Wetzel, '28, and Charles D. Living- stone, '28L, Livingstone is also di- recting the piece. "Seventh Heaven" has been carried over into the moving pictures, and that version of it, starring Janet Gay- nor and Charles Farrel, was recently exhibited at a local theater. It has b d of thfib. 10 best pictures tversity and is well known as a writerI and~ lecturer. Under the auspices of the Bu1eau of International Research of harvard university and Rfadcliffe col- lege, lie spent 15 months during 1925- 1926 in Africa niaking an investiga- tion in the territories. He visited the Lnion of S'outh Africa, Basutoland, Rhodesia, the Gold Coast, Liberia, Tanganyika, Zanzibar, Kenya, Ugan- da, Belgian Cono, French Cameroons, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and French West Africa. He also visited the European capitals responsible for the administration of. many of these ter- ritories, returning to the United Stat- es in September, 1926. Dr. Buell's report of lisAfrican investigations will be published soon in two volumes. The purpose of the report is to set forth the problems which have arisen out of theimpact of primitive peoples with industrial civilizations, and to show how andto what extent these problems are be- ing stved by the governments con- cerned. The list of books and articles he has written show the extraordinary range of Dr.sBuell's technical know- ledge. His books "The Washington Conference" and "International Re- lations" as well as his African stud- ies, are all accepted as authorative in their respective fields. He has also written "Contemporary French Politics," "The Native Problem in AC-- rica," "Japanese Immigration," "The International Opium Conferences,' and a number of other articles. REPRESENTA TIVES GiVE REPORTS AT COUNCIL MEETING' CHICAGO CANCELS ROYDEN LECTURE (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 4-Smoking and drinking in moderation have nothing to do with religion, in the opinion of Miss A. Maude Royden, English wo- man preacher, who arrived to/.y to learn that lectures she had pannea 'to give in Chicago and Boston have been cancelled because of reports about her views. Both cancellations were for lec- tures to be given under auspices of the Woman's Home Missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal church. The one in Chicago was cancelled when it was reported Miss Royden smoLel cigarettes and the one at Boston when it was said that she believed in companionate marriarge. Miss Royden acknowledged that she smoked, but she said she had always opposed any form of companionate marriage. Miss Royden is scheduled to speak at a special Sunday nxorning con- (ation in Hill auditorium here on Feb. 112. FRECHMAIONTTES 'WILL PERFORM HERE PI1'ay Productions 'io Sponsor Noted Puppets In Twio Performances Early In February JEAN GROS IS ORGANIZER Pursuant of a new policy to bring outside attractions to the campus, Play Productions will sponsor the Jean Gros French Marionettes in two plays to be given at Hill auditorium Feb. 2, according to an announcement made yesterday by Earl Fleischman, director of the department. Arrange- ments for tickets will be announced later. Jean Gros is one of the more famou's makers and organizers of puppet shows at the present time, and this organization is reputed to be the larg- lest and most complete of its kind in existence. Performances have been given at various universities and have been highly commended by the dram- atic faculty. The company is under the management of . J. Rupert, who was in Ann Arbor la'st fall to make ar- rangements for the showing. Two performances will be given, one a matinee particularly for school chil- dren, at which the attraction will be "Huckleberry Finn," adapted from the Mark Twain stories. At night the play will be Maurice Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird" produced with special effects. The "Blue Bird" has a com- plete musical accompaniment, and it is claimed by those in charge that the fantastic nature of the piece can bet- ter be brought out by the puppet per- sonfications than by regular stage I presentation. The marionette company is com- posed of experienced actors, trained to manipulate the puppets and speak the parts from behind the scenes. The puppeteer science is European in origin and little is known of it in this country. The Jean Gros company has the largest stage and the largest marionettes used in any 'show of the kind. KELLOGG'S NOTE CREATES FUROR I (By Associated Press) PAWIS. Jan. 4.--secretary Kellogg's note to Foreign Minister Briand of December 28, suggesting that the pro- posed amity pack to outlaw war be- tween France and the United States be enlarged to include other nations was made public by the Quai d'Orsay tonight. It was given the utmost prominnnce in the French press and became the center of discussion in all circles of French life. The impression gained in official circles in Paris today was that France and the United State's are approaching the point where they will be able to sign a pact "to outlaw war." The negotiations, looked at from this end, and in the absence of official com- ment, appear to be near conclusion although there was some apprehen- iion as to the extension of the accord 'o an indefinite number of powers as i s proposed by Washington. The idea of a pact to outlaw war which was generally popular here when considered as a proposition be- tween France and the United States, becomes complicated in the average French mind when it is proposed to extend it to other countries. The reason for this, it is said in the best informed circles, is the feel- ing that a general pact of such a sort would look too much like competition with the League of Nations. t EXPERTS PROVE HEARST EXPOSE1 'WAS UNFOUNDEDi CONGRESS RECONVENES AFTER1 HOLIDAY PERIOD; FACED j WITH MANY PROBLEMS DEBATE NICARAGUAN 'WAR' Plunge Into Discussion Of Coolidge's Nicaraguan Policy; Sidestep S.4 Disaster (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Refreahed by the Christmas vaction, Congress got back on the job today to plunge headlong into discussion of adminis- tration policy in Nicaragua, but to face a neatly executed administration coup de1s ignedtoemovethe S-4 dis- aster fom' the p~resenit from thme realm of debate.

Director Wiederhold was former concert maestro at the Black- stone theater of South Bend, Ind., and came here from Detroit where be was conducting a school of music. Thie orchestra will consist of two vio- lins, one cello, bass, piano, flute, clar- imet, trumpet, trombone, and traps. The main portion of the orchestra was brought from the Majestic tmea- ter because of the satisfactory work they performed there, he said. Entrance to the theater is made at Liberty street. A sign in the maize and blue colors of the University hangs above this entrance, and the regular block "M" is placed above the poster stands.

Documents Said False WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Mexi-! can documents published in Hearst newspapers were pronounced "spuri- ots" today by five handwriting ex- perts, three of them employed by Mr. Hearst, in a report submitted to the Senate investigating committee. I Called to the stand after submissioni of the reports, Miguel Avila, procurer of the documents, insisted he still be- lieved them authentic but added the expert's findings might indicate other- wise. Avila quickly explained he never had examined the documents, one of which reported to show the creation of a $1,215,000 fund for four Uniteds deavors, both abroad and in New York city. President Dodge was appointed to his position as the head of the Uni- versity in 1923.
