Parley Reaches Agreement to Elm-

1Irn Not Discussed
Atlantic City, July 28-(By A.P.)-
Anthracite miners and operators, hav-
ing adjourned for the present their
agerconferences when they failed
yesterday to reach an understanding
on the check-off, are waiting for
something to turn up to permit them
to resume negotiations.
The present wage contract under
which the miners are working expires
in five weeks. The interruption of
the negotiations which came rather
unexpectedly to the public, was not
a surpirse to those following thene-
gotiations .Fo anthracite ;conference
in the past has ever reached a point
where substantial progress was made
toward an agreement five weeks in
advance of the expiration of a con-
tract.
Srtike Probable /
Instead of sitting day in and day
out discussing the demands as here-
tofore the two sides have decided fo
suspend discussion until either side is
inclined to resume the meetings. This
was indicated by the action of the op-
erators in asking that the secretary
be authorized to reconvene the meet-
Ing when necessary.
Close observers of the stuation be-
lieve there will be a suspension of
mining on Sept. 1 unless the govern-
ment presses both sides to agree. The
mines have been working full time
since they resumed operations after
last year's long suspension and the
transportation of coal has been going
forward a little above normal since
last spring in anticipation of a shut
down this fall.
Check-off is Obstacle
The discussion of the demands has
not gone'-far. At the outset the oper-
ators agreed to the demand of the
miners to eliminate as far as possible
the 12-hour day and that decisions
of the umpire in cases from the con-
ciliation board referred him should be
decided in 30 days.
The wage question discussed in on-
ly a general way at the opening meet-
ing, had not been touched since. The
break, if it can be called a break.
came on the question of the check-
off, which has been under discussion
at every wage conference in the an-
thracite fields since 1902.

REPORT DECLARES 10 PER CENT
OF STUDENTS ARE "HERMITS"
In his annual report included in the
president's annual report which was
recently published, Dean Joseph A.
Bursley, dean of students, states that
considerable thought and attention is
being devoted to the problem of in-
teresting the "subnerged tenth" of
the student body-those students who
take no part in campus activities and
who confine their attention entirely
to their studies.
It is stated in the report that 10
per cent of the students do not bene-
fit by the opportuities offered for
exchange of ideas either by voluntary
contact with other students, .or by
participating in some activity.
Neglets Opporunities
"It must always be kept in the
student's mind," Dean Burseleys re-
port states, "that his primary reason
for coming to college is to study, but
at the same time he should not be
urged not to neglect this opportunity
for contact with men and with inter-
ests other than his own."
Would Require Activity
The report recommends that stu-
dents take part in activities during
their underclassmen career, due to
the pressure of time on student body
of the professional schools.
Dean Bursley has made a close
study of this problem for more than
two years and has discovered that the
problem almost. requires that the
"hermit" student be forced to mix
with his fellow students in order to
acquire the benefit of close associa-
tion.

OFFICIALS LOOK FOR NEW
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND
Paris, July 28-(By A.P.)-The
French note to Great Britain in re-
ply to the British suggestions as to
a joint-response to Germany's repar-
ation memorandum was said author-
itatively today to have been drafted
with the determination to exhaust ev-
ery means of reaching a full acord
with the British.
Delivery of the Frenh note is
awaiting only word )from Brussels
that the Belgian note to London also
is ready. The Frenh communiation
in any case will be deliveerd by the
beginning of next week, whether the
Belgian note is ready or not, because
Primier Poincare is anxious to com-
ply with the desire of Lord Curzon,
the British secretary of foreign af-
fairs, to receive France's answer be-
fore the British parliament adjourns
for the summer recess.
The chances of rewelding the en-
tente, with Great Britain co-operating
in the effort to obtain guaranties for
the payment of reparation by Ger-
many, is believed by those closely in
touch with reperations question to
be better than at any time since the
split of last January.
The rebirth of the allied supreme
council is predicted now as a likely
consequence of the exchange of
notes.;

HOUSE NEEDED FOR FALL
YOST ANXIOUS TO GET VARSITY
ATHLETES AWAY FROM
GYMNASIUM
Yost Field house is urgently' re-
quired for use in the fall, according to
a statement by Coach Fielding H.
Yost, director pf intercollegiate ath-
letics, firstly because the gymnasium
will be full to overflowing with in-
tramural athletics, with the physical
education program, and with the
physical work required of undergrad-
uates; secondly, because for five
rponths of the year beginning the first
fortnight in November bad weather
necessitates carrying on indoors the
work in the intercollegiate program
and in the physical development of
candidates for intercollegiate athlet-
ics. In addition to the University
teams in training there are usually
1,000 freshmen candidates to be train-
ed for the teams, in anticipation of the
timbe when they become eligible.
The program of training to be car-
ried out incluudes track work, bask-
etball, baseball, wrestling, boxing,
handball, and the general development
of athletes. Men taking the four
years' physical education course will
have most of their games at Ferry field
Space has been alloted for the use of
men engaged in intramural work, as
during the spring and fall outdoor
work is carried on at Ferry field.

Athletic association offices, and there
are facilities for the storage, repairing
and washing of equipment.

Joy Marks Passing
Of Tar Sidewalks
IThe tearing up of the last of the
tar sidewalks and their replacement
by concrete walks is an incident which
will be received with joy by many who
have walked, skidded ' and stumbled
along them for many years. 'these
walks, resembling washed out foot-'
paths in some places have literally'
grown up 'with the trees to some ex-
tent and in their many years of serv-
ice have caused much cursing as stu-
dents and townspeople have tripped,
shuffled,. or staggered along them on
dark nights, or jumped over the pud-
dles they form after a rain. Many a
toe has been stubbed and many an
ankle has been splashed as their mole-
hill-like surfaces have been trod by
thousands of feetsince their growth
upward with the roots of nearby trees.
OPTICA WORK ON
LENS UNDER WAY
I8 Inch Crystal For Refactor Being
Ground By The Brashear
Company
$40,00 TELESCOPE IS GIFT
OFROBT. P. LAMONT, 991E
Optical work on the 18-inch rough
glass disk for the large refracting
telescope at the Olbesrvatory is under
way at the John A. Brashear com-
pany in Pittsburg. The lens, which
the University Observatory has been
awaiting for for the past 10 years,
was cast in Jena, Germany, by Shott
& Sons..
In 1911 efforts were made to secure
the necessary glass for the telescope
but European glass works failed in
their attempts to manufacture the es-
sential disk. The war prevented furth-
er attempts in its manufacture and it
was not until February last that the
crystal was received in this country.
The grinding and polishing of the
lens Is now under way at the Pitts-
burg firm where considerable work.
must be done and time expended in
the perfecting of the glass. The other
parts of the big telescope, ultimately
to, represent an expenditure of ap-
proximately $40;000, have been con-
structed at the University Observatory
shops and now await the securing of
the lens.
Robert P. Lamont, '91E, donated the
telescope under construction and Prof.
W. J. Hussey, of the department of
astronomy, designed the 'instrument.
There are now in exjstence only sev-
,en telescopes with lenses larger than
the one now in construction.
As soon as the lens is received in
Ann Arbor the instrument is to be as-
sembled and tried out at the Univer-
sity Observatory shops. Upon com-
pletion the telescope is to be taken
to the southern hemisphere, South
Anerica or Australia, where Professor
Hussey will complete his survey of
the southern heavens and his observa-
tions on the measurement of the
double stars.

Paper Drafted in Cabinet; Ebert
Present; Urges Germans to
Sacrifice
Berlin, June 28-(By A.P.)-In a
fervent appeal to the German people,
the .Cuno :government' pleads for
unity, maintenance of law and or-
der, fdrbearance with the prevailing
economic difficulties and 'for niation-
wide emtulation of the spirit of pat-
riotic sacrifice and devotion mani-
fested by the population of the Ruhr
and Rhineland in the face ok over-
whelming pesecution and privation.
/The proclamation drafted at a full
session of the- Cabinet today, at which
President Ebert also was present, .set
forth the genesis of the economic
clash .which is now reflecting acute-
ly in the worthlesness of the nations
currency, deranged business condi-
tions, and disorganization of the food
supply, all of which says the state-
ment, "is directly traceable to the
French action in the Ruhr nation,
which proved a mortal blow to the
nation's economic and financial or-
ganization, and which 'is primarily
responsible for the monstrous drop
in the value of the country's cur-
rency." -~
To this dafy, the statement contin-
ues, France's willful interference
with every effort to achieve a solu-
tion of the reparation poblem which*
would concede to Germany a chance
to live has resulted. Until such time
as the reparation is definitely ad-
justed, the German people must, ,and
will sustain themselves by virtue of
their own powers and resources-
