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. iillerand Comniuts Sentence , Dusseldorf, July 28.-(By A.P.) - President Millerand, of France, has commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence passed b court-mart- ial on Paul Georg, German engineer for, the Badische Anilin company, Ludwigschafen; he yas convicted at Mayenne, June 13, of sabotage against the Ruhr Occupation allies.

Christian Endeavor, as usual at 6:30 lA'f / r 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.; COCH SAS NEW IELD 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.

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.

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- WOMEN'S EDUCATIONAL CLUB TO_ HOLD PICNICy Plans for the annual Women's Ed- ucational club picnic to be held at the Island Monday evening, at which 50 members and their friends are ex- pected to be present, have been com- pleted and tickets may be obtained at Tappan hall.
