Session
(By Associated Press)
London, Aug. 7.-Laying of the foun-
dation for the important work facing
the Allied governments in connection
with German reparations and kindred
problems was begun at a preliminary
meeting of the principal representa-
tives of these governments here to-
day.
No agenda for the conference, in
which Prime Minister Lloyd George
and Premier Poincare, of France, were
the principal participants, had been
prepared in advance, and one of the
first concerns of the initial meeting,
presided over by Mr. Lloyd eGorge,
was to decide the order in which the
various subjects would' be brought
forward.
The conference began its session
shortly before 11 o'clock, adjourning
at 1:15 p. in., to reassemble at 4:30.
No one aside from the delegates was
admitted to the session. A statement
from Sir Edward Grigg, the British
premier's private secretary, as to the
course the proceedings had taken was
at first promised for the early after-
noon, but later it was stated that an-
nouncement would not be forthcoming
until evening.
BRITISH MINER ASKS
REVISION OF TREATY
Frankfort-on-Main, Germany, Aug-
7.-Immediate revision and modifica-
tions of the Treaty of Versailles and
world-wide unity of labor to resist
"capitalistic politicians" and prevent
future wars were demanded here to-
day by Frank Hodges, secretary of
the British Federation of Miners, in
an address formally opening the con-
gress of the International Federation
of Miners. Mr. Hodges did not re-
fer to the coal strike in the United
States.
The veteran British labor leader's
words were received with thunderous
applause.
"War time promises to labor have
-been shattered," said Hodges. "The
capitalists are trying to destroy the
workers' hard won rights. In Great
Britain and in America these at-
tempts have been supported openly
by the governments. i
"We cannot have a member of the
civilized organizationof nations cut
off and the rest of the body continue
in perfect health. It is an elementary
truth that prosperous Germany and
Austria mean prosperous France and
Britain.
"The Treaty of Versailles must be
radically changed. Not hesitatingly
and in piecemeal, but radically and
immediately. Our statesmen begin to
realize that a colossal mistake has
been made."
Engine Trouble Forces Blake Down
Agra, British India, Aug. 7.-Maj.
W. T. Blake, the British aviator who
is attempting a round-the-world
flight, was forced to land here yes-
terday en route to Allahabad owing
to rain and engine trouble. Due to
repeated interruptions caused by mot-
or mishaps, he is trying to obtain a
new machine.
Recent tendencies in English polit-
ics toward guild socialism, the weak-
ening of the representative form of
government, the change of Britain
from an empire into an association
or league of states, the disappearance
of the liberal party, and the disin-
tegrating of the bouregoise class, said
Prof. Cephas D. Allin of the University
of Minnesota yesterday in Natural Sci-
ence auditorium, are due to the war-
time reactions and the incoming storm
of the Russian revolution.
Professor Allin remarked that to-
day Europe has become the new world
with radical ideas and that the Un-
ited States was the old world of strong
conservatism. Europe is torn between
the spirit of' revolution and attempts
to return to the condition of normalcy.
"Europe today," continued Professor
Allin, "is furnishing the ideas of the
world." In England the war has up-
sat men's economic and political
ideas."
England Constantly Changing
The speaker pointed out that more
changes have occurred in England
during the four years following the
war than in the previous four genera-
tions. At the first part of the war
England struggled to maintain her
own integrity, the neutrality of Bel-
College Audienes
Most Responsive,
Says Miss K earns
"If there is a difference between
college audiences and others, the dif-
ference is in favor of the former,"
said Elsie Herndon Kearns wvho plays
ed some of the leading women's parts
in the Shakespeare Playhouse company
productions here' Thursday, Friday,
and Saturday of last week. "They are
quicker, keener and more responsive.
It seems as though I were telling them
a new story, which is not always true
of the theater going crowds in cit-
ies," Miss Kearns continued.
"You know, I feel that I am going
home when -I come to Ann Arbor. I
have played here a 'good many times
,nd I love it all-even the street cars,"
she added smiling. "The town has
character-distinct from all others."
Harry Neville who was Timpson of
"The Pigeon," and Earl of Loam in
"The Admirable Crichton," besides
playing comedy roles in the Shake-
spearean plays, is an Australian act-
or who has toured all parts of the
world.
In commenting on his visit here he
said that one of the notable things was
co-education. "In my part of the
world, it is not customary at all and
I have been immensely surprised since
my residence in this country 'at how
well it is coming off in the States ;
I think that the reason for it all is
that the American university woman is
a sportsman at heart."
Here Mr. Neville put a cigarette in
his tortoise shell holder and contin-
ued: "She doesn't force a man to pro-
pose to her in self defense."
Another thing that Mr. Neville men-
tioned was the tact that so many stu-
dents earn their way through school.
"To do this back in England would
mean that you must lose your social
position, for the time being at least.
I consider that we have much to learn
in this respect from America."
Frank McEntee who plays leading
roles in tihe Shakespeare Playhouse
company, his own company, expects
to return to Ann Arbor early in the
fall. When he was here Mr. McEntee
looked over the stage facilities of Hill
auditorium, in which the productions
of this company, which will be brought
here later this year, may be given.
gium and sacredness of treaties, but
later the working people demanded
something more substantial, asking
what they were to receive in returnF
for their sacrifices. In response to
these requests many of the labor lead-
ers were given position of great re-
sponsibility in the government.
While the war was in progress, Eng-
lish industry according to Professor
Allin, was nationalized and socialized.C
"England became in the last two yearst
of the war," added the speaker, "an
great socialized state."t
Another wartime dejelopment wasv
the change in the prin ple of wealths
distribution not according to the re-
lative economic strength of the indi-
vidual or the value of the man's serv-
ices, but according to his needs.,
Frown on NormalcyI
When the war nad been terminatedd
the working class swore against a re-d
turn to normalcy and pre-war condi-
tions, declared Professor Allin. Anj
example of this was the miners' strikes
which was precipitated by the inten-
tion of the government to return the
mines to their former owners. Thist
meant a lowering of wages to thet
former stadard of living or below andI
was met by a challenge of the work-I
men advocating the'nationalization oft
the mines. The strike failed becauset
many of the people were not in sym-
pathy with the movement, but a corn-
promise was effected which gave the
miners a minimum wage and a di-
vision of the excess profits between the
capitalists and the laborers.
Professor Allin stated that the
French idea of syndicalism has not
been accepted in full in England but
that it has been modified to the formF
of a guild socialism, rather than or-
thodox socialism with the latter's in-1
terference in the natural rights oft
groups. The speaker believes thatt
the individual has nearly disappearedf
in England and has been replaced by1
the system of recognition of the na-
tural rights of the group.-
Parliamentary omnipotence has beent
lost, so that labor congresses and con-t
ventions of the chambers of com-
merce now assume more importancet
than the meetings of parliament.-
Britain a League of States t
The change in the idea of the con-!
trol of foreign policy by England alone
came about during the negotiation of
the peace treaty at Paris when the
English colonies and dominions were
represented. The results is, said Pro-
fessor Allin, that "The British nation
today is an association or league of
states and not a great empire. An-
other tendency to be noted, declared
the speaker, is the great loss of the
bourgeoise class, the dying of the'lib-
eral party, and the alignment of Eng-
lish politics into the opposing camps
of the capital and labor.

FORMER VARSITY STAR LOSES1
SINGLES CHAMPIONSHIP f
TO PARTNER1
(By Associated Press)a
Chicago, Aug. 7.-In two of the most
closely fought matches over seen in
the finals of a Western tennis tourna-
ment, John Hennessey of Indianapolis,
three times Indiana state champion,

Class To Offer
"fruilting Pot
Thursday Night
Preliminary to the public perform-
ance of "The Melting Pot," to be of-
fered Thursday evening in University
hall by the class in Play Production,I
the cast, which has been working on
the play for the past four weeks, last
evening held its final dress rehearsal.
Prof. R. D. T. Hollister, who is direct-
ing the production, expressed his con-1
fidence that the cast has now reached
the point where only a few minor de-
tails remain to be altered.
As a play, "The Melting Pot," writ-
ten by Israel Zangwill, is an intensely
interesting study. It deals with the
timely subject of the foreign immi--
grant in his new and strange environ-
ment, and offers a very gripping char-
acterization throughout.
Costumes for "The Rivals," the play
to be presented Friday evening, have
arrived from Chicago, and prepara-
tions are being made for the dress re-
hearsals and other final arrangements.
"The Rivals" is a very different type
of play, abounding as it does in amus-
ing situations and extremely humor-
ous characters. Its mirth is always
contagious, making of the play a thor-
oughly delightful comedy.
Tickets for both performances are
on sale at Wahr's bookstore. Reserv-
ed seats are being sold for 75 cents.
and general admission, 50 cents.

Union Spokesmen Indicate They Will
Not Accept New Offering
for Settlement
(By Associated Press)
Washington, Aug. 7. - As "a final
call" from the government for an
immediate settlement of the rail
strike, President Harding today com-
municated to railroad executives and
heads of the striking shop craft
union proposals that the men be sent
back to work, that the managements
take them back, and that adjustment
of the crucial seniority issue be left
to decisions of the railroad labor
board.
Though the President was said to
cjonsider this the only practical
course the government could take,
union spokesmen indicating its re-
jection, summoned their associates to
meet here Wednesday to pass upon
the proposal.
The rail executives had made no
response to the White House tonight,

"Skyline Inn" is the name of a new
novel by Donal Hamilton Haines,, of
the department of rhetoric and, journ-
alism, which will be published next
