French Resolution on
Evacuation.
GENEVA, Oct. 22.-(1P)-Japan
refused today to allow the Council
of the League of Nations to set a
time limit for the withdrawl of
her troops to the Manchurian Rail-
way zone.
In setting forth this position,
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, J a p a n e s e
spokesman, declared h is nation
purposed to remove troops as soon
as security conditions permitted,
but could not accept a definite
date. ,
Briand Loses Move.
This was his answer to a resolu-
tion by Aristide Briand, French for-
eign minister and chairman of the
Council, suggesting the evacuation
be completed by Nov. 16, the date
set for the next session of the
Council,
The Briand resolution was at-
tacked also by Dr. Alfred Aze,
China's spokesman, who said it fell,
short of his Government's desires..
He asked time to seek instructions
from Nanking.
Since neither of the parties di-
rectly involved approved the reb-
lution, the Council adjourned until
tomorroW afternoon when public
debate will be resumed.
Security Pledge Sought.
Today's meeting was the first to
which the public was admitted
since Prentiss B. Gilbert, United
States representative, took his seat
six days ago.
The Briand program also, re-
quested the Japanese and Chinese
governments to enter into direct
negotiations to arrange the details
of the troop withdrawl.
The resolution recommended that
China pledge the security of the
lives and property of Japanese na-
tionals in Manchuria, and suggest-
ed that when the evacuation was
completed China and Japan should
set up a permanent conciliation
committee to deal with problems
arising from the present clash.
M. Briand announced that the
terms of his resolution were sub-
ject to modification in public de-
bate.
China's request for participation
by neutrals in settling the conflict
was recognized by a recommenda-
tion that Chinese authorities en-
gaged in protecting Japaneselives
and property should have assist-
ance of the representatives of oth-
er nations.

Freshmen Receive
First Reprimands
in 'Pot' Ordinance
Eight freshmen reported at the
offices of the Student Council yes-
terday to answer charges of not
wearing the traditional "pots" in
the first seige of the fight to the
finish between the Student Council
and first year men who do not fol-
low this custom.
Most of the freshmen attempted
to excuse themselves by saying that
they did not know that the caps
had to be worn. Others said that
they had been wearing the "pots"
but forgot them occasionally in
their hurry to classes.
The leader of the fall games of
the Sophomore class informed the
members of the council that he was.

mores, some time next week, to co-
operate with the council.

campus at large is helping with the
campaign.

pearance of the following freshmen
at 2 o'clock today in their office in
the Union: John Secord, Charles
Leonard, Mark Davis, Valentine
Saph, Phil Singleton, Harry Walker,
Gilbert Shaw, Laurence Grill, John
Harrigan, and Richard O'Conner.
Freshmen appearing yesterday
stated that the best appeal could
be made to their fellovk classmen
was that to wear the pots is a valu-
able campus tradition.

WOODCOCK URGES STUDENTS TO AID
IN REVEALINGPROHIBITION TRUTHS
Urging college men to help in re-
vealing the truth about prohibition
"which they should be able to do
better than any other group," Amos
W. W. Woodcock, federal director of
prohibition, stated in an interview
yesterday that this would help put-
ting a machine in motion that
would cause the public to look upon
the subject from a scientific, rather
than an emotional point of view.
"Conll T" he said "have an on-
ganda scheme but because "... We
have been dabbling in liquor ex-
periments for 100 years and I feel
that it is time to collect these so
that the man on the street can see
what the question is all about."-
When asked what he thought
about the fraternity liquor raids on
the campus last year Woodcock
said that he remembered only
vaguely hearing about them, and so
could make no comment.
He said that he felt that the bu-
