PEACE PLAN RCVE APPROVL O BRITISH (By Associated Press) LONDON, May 10.-Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign secretary, an- nounced in the House of Commons to- day that the British government de- sires to cooperate with the American government in outla.wing war. He was speaking on Kellogg's proposal. A similar welcome o the American move to achieve world peace was voiced by Ramsay McDonald, leader of the Labpor opposition, who intro- duced the subject,. Sir Austen said he would proceed in the ordinary diplomatic channels in treating on the proposal, although at first he had favored submitting the matter to a conference of inter- national jurists, as in the case of the Locarno pact. This idea was dropped, however, he explained, when "one of the governments concerned"-under- stood to be the United States-indi- cated that it did not approve of this. method. The B'ritish attitude, the foreign secretary continued, already had been forwarded to the' governments of the dominions in order that all elements of the empire might take a common position toward the proposal. He ex- pected to transmit the reply to Secre- tary Kellogg soon after the response of the dominions were received. Sir Austen was heard with profound interest by the whole chamber. The only mark of disapproval came when he said that war never had been used as an international policy by any British government of thc4 present o..a ,arn r a a l Y ~hP,TB urs et Hulse Selects Department Heads For '1928-1929; Wachter Th Manage Michigan Weekly WAGHTER WINS PROMOTION Appointments to the business staff of The Daily for the coming year were announced yesterday by Edward L.

Hobbs a:t1 the third University Greenland expe- dition from Copenhagen to Holstens- borg, was stuck in the ice off the southern coast of Greenland en route to Copenhagen. caused a sudden post- Sonem'ent yesterday of the expedi- tion's plans to leave. First news of the Disko's plight reached Ann Arbor Tuesday night in a radiogramx from the Disko, signed(j by Oscanyan and Bangste, two mem - bers of last year's expedition who caught the boat at Holstensborg to re- turn to civilization after spending tne winter at Mt. Evans station. Professor Hobbs imnmediately wired New York to hold the expeditions. freight, which was being loaded, and cancelled the reservations for rim- self Friday night and for the rest of the party on May 19.

Girls' Glee Club Event Is Only Major Honor Taken By Another School;' It Goes To Bay City 1 WINNERS TO GIVE CONCERT; Flint high school musicians scored, an outstanding success in the finals of the state school orchestra and chorus' contest held here yesterday when they carried off highest honors in every field except girls' glee club, ywhich went to Bay City. More than 2000 con- testants from high schools all over. the state participated in the competl-. tion. Schools were classified into three groups, A, B, and C, according to tLeir size, and there were seven fields of competition: boys' glee clubs, girls' glee clubs, mixed choruses, string en- sembles, wood wind ensem-bles, brass 1ensembles, and orchestras. Results of the contest were an- nounced yesterday afternoon at a mass meeting and concert at Yost Field house. Other outstanding per- formers in class A were Grand Rap- ids, with three second places, and Flint and Saginaw, with one second place each. In class B, Ypsilanti won first in boys' glee, Three Rivers in who have won two or more let ters. Members of all classes are requesi ed to meet at 7:15 tonight on ti campus to form a procession whic will march to Sleepy Hollow, led b the Varsity band.

Tile Disko left Copenhagen about the first of April on its first trip o? the year to the various seacoast ham- lets of Greenland. On this trip it car- ried William S. Carison of the geol- ogy department to Holstensborg, the Greenland port of call for the Mt. Evans observatory of the University. On its return trip it evidently was caught in the floating ice off the sou- them coast of Greenland. Professor Hobbs said yesterday that while the ship was probably perfectly safe, it was a question of the wind when the ship would be released. A south wind would jam tihe ice up against the ship I and pin it to the shore, while a north wind would break up the jam and free the ship in short order. In any case the second sailing from Copen- hagen, originally planned for June 1, will have to be postponed a fort- night or a n;onth, which would be too late for the Greenland expedition. Professor Hobbs left yesterday for New York, and will proceed from there to Baltimore, returning tg Ann Arbor S'unday. This trip will be con- cerned with matters pertaining to the expedition.
