TWO ~THE mt1 MhTAN nAitY "~ 4PIDAY, OCTOBER 18,,1931 Ethiopian War En.ds Hope For Disarmament Iuge Loan Discussed To Enlarge British Navy To Former Size LONDON, Oct. 17. - (/P) - What- ever else develops from the Italian- Ethiopian embroglio, authoritative opinion here believes it has killed disarmament in Europe. Many responsible British statesmen are outspoken in their belief that the slow, grim roll of war drums has pro- vided the dirge for the official burial of the policy of beating swords into plowshares. There is a general feeling noted here that Mussolini never would have gone to the present length, had he known a powerful British navy and lnted British public stood between him and his ambitions. And these qiarters believe a peerless British navy must be reestablished in the interests of the British imperial heri- tage. Chancellor Calls For Action "The time has come when we must face realities, when we must bring our forces up to the minimum re- quired for our own self-respect," said Nivville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, recently. "We have been gravely handi- capped by the fact-the knowledge of which is widespread upon the con- tinent-that our defensive forces have fallen to audangerously low1lev- l' added Chamberlain, who, in his present capacity, must find the mon- ey for British rearmament. There already is talk in respon- sible financial circles of a "defense loan" of 200,000,000 pound sterling, qr $1,000,000,000, to finance the re- ca.pturing of Britannia's supremacy of the waves. So, judging from present indica- tions, ends an epoch in history-an eapoch born amid the enthusiastic declarations of the World War weary statesmen at the Washington naval conference, and successively crippled in far Manchuria and along the Rhine. Coup De Grace In Africa It remained for the coup de grace to be administered in distant East Africa. For the apparent collapse of naval limitation, indicated by recent events, is in large measure attributable di- rectly to the Ethiopian adventure. It was the necessity of safeguarding British interests in that disturbed theatre which brought home to all Englishmen their real weakness on the seas they once ruled. Britain was forced to bulwark the mobilization of almost her entire ef- fective fleet in the Mediterranean with bids for French support to in- sure checking an Italian navy once reckoned here as inconsequential. It was upon the waves only that post-war diplomacy had achieved any signal success in the field of disarma- ment. Washington and London con- ferences succeeded in declaring and prolonging naval building holidays, but Geneva failed to slow up land and air armament. War Clouds Kill Optimism The African warclouds already have obscured all optimism noted earlier this year for air limitation security pacts. There has been no further talk of cutting down air ar- madas since it became apparent that Mussolini was not to be thwarted by words. The question of national defense is expected to provide one of the key- stone issues in the forthcoming na- tional elections, with the present na- tionalist government taking the view outlined by Chamberlain. The la- borites have agreed to support League sanctions but the party is being lam- basted from all sides for its military economy and the treaty commitments of the MacDonald government which, opponents say, brought British forces below subsafety levels. This view was expressed by Ad- miral Sir Roger Keyes, a member of parliament, who said: "Whatever else may be the out- come of this present unrest, I think it has brought home to the whole country that if we are to exist as a great empire we shall have to set to work without delay to put our de- fenses in order." Prides Of British Navy In Mediterranean Library Has 198 Volumes Of Incunabula Classified DOrectory Colonel T. Adds 17 Collection M. Spaulding Volumes To Of Books -Associated Press Photo. "Britanunia Riles the Waves" used to be sung lustily wherever Eng- lishmen foregathered but the nation now is told that the sentiment belon gs in the past tense, a fact emphasized by the appeal made to France for naval support in the Mediterranean. This photograph shows part of Britain's conibined home and Mediterranean fleets with the od'ney and Nelson, prides of the navy, in the foreground. Old Resident Of Ann Arbor Recalls University's istory The General Library now has 211 titles of incunabula in 198 volumes, increased by 17 during the past year, it was announced by Ella M. Hymans, Curator of rare books. Incunabula are books printed within the first fifty years of the invention of print- ing, to be exact, those books printed before 1501. There are about 20,000 titles known in the fifteenth century, according to Miss Hymans. The earliest is the Bible known as the "Gutenberg Bible" which is one of the rarest and most beautiful books in the world. Most of the volumes in this collection are bound in vellum and boards which have been eaten through by worms. Nevertheless, the print has not been disturbed; neither is the beauty of the volumes diminished, remarked Miss Hymans. One of the most constant con- tributors to the library collection of incunabula, according to Miss Hym- ans, is Colonel T. M. Spaulding, '02, who is responsible for the addition of the 17 volumes during the past year. They are given as a memorial of his son, Stephen Spaulding, '27, who died in 1925. The books are accompanied by a special bookplate witha portrait of his son. In all, the Spaulding incunabula collection numbers twenty-four titles bound in 19 volumes. This offers a vivid contrast to the number of in- cunabula owned by the library twenty years ago which numbered nineteen, it was stated by Miss Hymans. and a well-frequented whispering gal- lery surrounding the Art Gallery. Among other attractions in the Art Gallery were a cast of the bronze doors of the capitol in Washington, this cast, as well as others, had been prepared by Randolph Rogers, a for- mer resident of Ann Arbor. He was said to have molded figures out of bread dough while working in a bak- ery on North Main St. Later he went to Italy where all of his principal) sculpturing was done.- It was while acting as janitor in the old General Library that Mr. Lutz became acquainted with Professor D'Ooge. Of him he relates this little tale. "He never calne into the gallery but that he would stop and talk, al- ways in German, and if I were read- ing, would always want to see the title. One day I was reading one of the works of Josephus. He asked me if I thought that that was good read- ing for me. I answered by saying, 'My father always said to try every- thing and retain that which is best.' He immediately replied, 'Yes, but can a sheep go through brambles without losing some wool?'

By way of introduction it might be said that previous to the present century the Medical School was confined to the West Medical Building and a small two-story frame building on the present location of the West Physics Building. This latter struc- ture contained a dissecting room on each of the two upper floors and a storeroom for cadavers in the base- ment. One morning Mr. Lutz happened to notice a very lathered horse pulling a buggy containing three men into the drive alongside the smaller building. Two of the men jumped out, collared the third, and hauled him over to the basement door. The two men then drove away. Naturally Mr. Lutz was not surprised to find the sheriff of a nearby town investigating the livery stables in town. In a short time two men were arrested, and were proven to have removed a body from a grave forty miles away, and to have driven for several hours with that body be- tween them. Such incidents are now history, and as such recall to the present genera- tion that the University is constantly changing. But to George Lutz these recollections are the reward of his 47 years in the service of the Univer- sity. WANTED WANTED: Used typewriter, portable or office model.

(Continued from Page 1) ed overnight into several hundred pieces. These were gathered up, very carefully, placed in a cart, and very ceremoniously buried as befitted the great m~an. And as Mr. Lutz notes in passing, the law class which bought that statue had been rather badly tricked into taking something that, although resembling bronze in ap- pearance, was less suitable for statu- ary than brittle pewter. Another instance illustrating the high esteem in which statuary was held during the earlier days of the University is the fact that visitors to the Museum in 1871 were required to pay an admission charge to see a statue of Nydia. At that time this attraction, now in Alumni Memorial Hall, was exhibited in a room built onto the north side of Mason Hall. The expansion of this same mu- seum, which needed only two floors in Mason Hall in 1871, down until the present has carried it through a floor in the old library, through the building now known as the Romance Languages Building to the present spacious University Museums built in 1928. Likewise the great increase in the engineering college plant has been almost wholly contained within the span of Mr. Lutz's service. The orig-, inal engineering shops were built in 1885, and housed the nucleus of the future mechanical engineering de- partment, headed by Professor (now Dean-Emeritus) Cooley. In the base- ment of the old building was a black- smith shop, on the first floor a Cor- liss engine which ran the machinery used, on the second floor a carpenter shop where the models and patterns were made, and in the attic were stored the old patterns. Here, too, Mr. Lutz at one time found himself working. And it so happened that upon him Professor Cooley once placed the job of firing up an old steam boiler with which the class of future mechanical en- gineers was experimenting. So Mr. Lutz began shoveling the coal in- and kept right on shoveling it in for some time in an effort to bring the steam pressure up to the level de- sired. He shoveled harder than he had ever before shoveled in his life, but the pressure remained far too low. When finally Professor Cooley appeared on the scene to demand an accounting for the delay, he found Mr. Lutz's strenuous heavings apparently producing no result. Naturally he then looked over the boiler itself and quickly announced, "No wonder, the old boiler leaks so badly the steam all goes up the smoke-stack." After the engineering classes had grown out of the shops and a one- story addition to them (now the Au- tomotive Laboratory), the West Engi- neering Building was erected in 1902, and the East Engineering Building in 1923. During the existence of daily chapel exercises the first floor of University Hall was given over to them. In this large chapel room ten-minute serv- ices, beginning at a quarter to nine, were held every week-day morning, and Mr. Lutz had the duty of tolling a bell located in the tower of the old General Library for five minutes preceding the exercises. The students attending were led by Professors D'Ooge, Frieze, Olney, and Kelsey in the services. All of the student assemblies for commencement, lectures, and concerts were also held in University Hall be- fore Hill Auditorium was built. Mr. Lutz mentions that a large organ from the World Fair of 1893 had been placed in the hall, and that Joseph Jefferson, Grover Cleveland, Theo- dore Roosevelt, Corporal Tanner, and many others have given addresses in the hall. While these famous personageswere bringing the flavor of then current events to the students in University Hall, there was another sort of col- lection of eventful happenings grow- ing in another part of the campus. The library was laying the founda- tions for its present extensive array of books. In those days it was housed in athree-story building with semi- circular frzont located on the same site as the present library building. This buildingbesides the stacks, in- cluded several reading rooms, a cir- cular Art Gallery on the third floor, rwls Thrills! ele! 15c to 6 P.M. WHI!TN-EY Daily 1:30 to 11 P.M. Now Edw. G.
