Louis J. Roth, with Lieut. T. B. Null as aide, evidently dropped into Lake Erie late Thursday night or early Fri- day. Lieut. James H. Strong, United States Navy, who went to Port Stan- ley today and shipped the wrecked balloon and its basket, which, with the body of Lieut.,Roth, were recov- ered from the Lake, to the Naval Air Station at Lake- Hurst, N. J., said on his return trip tonight that he had, come into posession of a journal giv- ing the account of the flight. The last entry was made at 11 o'clock Thurs- day night. It showed that the bal- loon was flying at an altitude of 12,- 000 feet. The balloon passed over' some isl- ands at 10 o'clock according to an entry in the journal and flew over (Continued on Page Four) d KILLS TWO :AR YPSILANT EDITORIAL CAMPUS OPINION The American student is often ac- cued of being an intellectual sponge by his European brother. The same accusation is often heard from the lips of the young skeptics (most of whom we know are middle-aged, however), i, this country. Is there such a mark- ed devouring of knowledge administ- ered in doses, measurable only by cel- lular capacity? A year in a democra- tic university will furnish sufficient evidence to the contrary. The Am- erican student does think as he learns and the young skeptics are the victims 'of a super-consciousness aggravated by their own mental condition. The sponge brain is in evidence, however, and markedly so in the stu- dent reader. He swallows news re- ports in large quantities without de- termining whether they are concocted from the proper ingredients. During the past two weeks rticles have appeared in The Daily which .have excited the opinions of persons on the campus. In reply to these ar- ticles, only three intelligent commun- fcations were received in The Daily office. Two of these were written by professors. The' question has arisen in the past: "Have students opinions and, if so, are they capable of expressing them?" From the experience of campus pub- lications, including Chimes which was established as a campus opinion mag- azine, the answer is no: students do not have opinions. If they had them they would express them for an opin- ion is a form of thought which is most apt to "out." The Summer session, thus far, ,has seen a disappointing lack of regen-' eration of campus opinion, in that it. might be expected' from the older stu- dents. There is no reference made here to the professional skeptic or the habitual pessimist, but to the aver- age student, who takes 'and takes but never gives an opinion. PROPOGANDA Revolutionary movements in every walk of life received a share of their impetus from the war, so say the psy- choanalyists and the socioligists. It is certain that the war did effect changes in many institutions, notably the English language. Words which' had fallen into disuse wete given new life and significance. "Atrocity,"1 "Hun," "Patriotism," Expeditionary,,," "Hypenated,' and the most popular of all war words, "Propaganda," receiv- ed a new lease of life through the Al- lied press. The word propaganda came to mean something akin to the word "plague" in the eyes of the American public and when it was preceded by the word "German" it referred to something es- pecially abhorrent. The singular point to this is that while the words of our erstwhile enemies were banned, this country was being floo'ded with pro- paganda favorable to the Allied cause. Propaganda, then, is a war measure as much as a machine gun or a bayonet or a hand grenade and if we are to forget the war we must forget the word propaganda, in its war meaning. The power of propaganda was real-{ ized during the war and its effective- ness was such that it is still retain- ed as a soothing balm and as a meas- ure to effect closer international bonds between countries. A striking ex- ample of this "peace propaganda" is' seen in the English publicity that is flooding the country at the present time. Such a type of propaganda is (Continued on Page Two) Two Drown as Boat Capsizes Indianapolis, Ind., July 10-(By A.

Bone, and territor- ial and city officials. The ideal weath- er which had attended the Alaskan trip gave way today to ram and fog here but the towns lpople paid no at- tention, gathered on the wharf in the business section to give the party a hearty welcome. FRANCE PEAE FOR POSSIBLEWAR Offiical Statement of Plans Made Pub- lic; Will Build Up Air Forces FRANCE MUST BE READY TO STRIKE BLOW, REPORT STATES Paris, July 1.-(By A.P.)-The official plan for th ereorganiation of the French army in preparationi for war, was issued here late to- day, The announcement is report- ed to have state that although the ,French government would do all In Its power to prevent war, it would not bear the risk of military weakness in any department. Paris, July 10.-(By A.P.)-The plan for the reorganization of France'c army of 660,000 men was distributed among the members of parlamtent to- day by Col. G. Fabry, reporter for the chamber army commission. It con templates an organized force based on-the 'lesson of the Great war, with serious attention to- develoments in aviation and war materials. Aviation and gas, the record says, ,are men- aces of the future. Germany, by force of circumstances, must seek her field of action in the air and therefore France must be strong there. "We are preparing the arny for war, which we are resolved to pre- vent," continues the report, "but must be ready to strike the first blow. France is now superior to other na- tions in aviation except perhaps bomb- arding planes, but she cannot rest sat- isfied an dmust not be content with machine guns in the air, for perhaps' the time is near when aerial can- nons will appear." ._.1 6 DIE IN EXPLOSION Alton, Ill., July 10.-(By A.P.)- At least half a dozen persons were, reported killed and a score injured in an explosion this afternoon at the plant of the Western Cartridge com- pany in East Alton. The explosion occurred in the salvage department. It was characterized by officials as one of the most serious accidents in the history of the company.- Some of those injured are stated to be in a critical kondition and ex- pected to die. The plant has several hundred men and women employes.- Those killed are reported to be women. The actual cause of the ex- plosion is not yet determined. Coron- er C. M. Streeter, of Alton, was sum- moned to take charge of the dead. A gu-ard was thrown about the plant and no one was permitted to enter. Rum Runner Shot At; Escapes Highland, N.

Agricuhural Dean be Appointed Director of Extension Lansing, July 10-(By A.P.)-A re- port submitted to the state adminis- trative board today by Secretary of State Charles J. Deland recommend ed that county agents hereafter re- ceive their entire salaries and expens- es from either state, federal or coun- ty funds. It also suggested that the dean o agriculture of the Michigan Agricul tural college be given the direction of the college extension work, of which the county agents are a part. In effect the report demanded that the practice followed in the past of paying county agents partly with money advanced by county farm bureau organizations be abolished. Mr. Deland was named by the admin- istrative board to investigate the manner in which county agents were paid following the controversy which recently resulted in the resignation of Dr. David Friday as president of the Michigan Agricultural college. In his report Mr. Deland mentions that three members of the state board of agriculture are directors of the Michigan State Farm bureau. During the Friday controversy it was charged by Gov. Groesbeck and others that the county agents, paid partially by farm bureau organiza- tions might have devoted some of' their time to furthering the interests of the farm bureau members on the state board of agriculture, which ac- cepted Dr. Friday's resignation. The report devotes considerable space to pointing out that county agents appear to be working for the county farm bureaus rather than for the state. The report suggested that the dean of agriculture of M. A. C. be required to submit immediately a revised bud- get of salaries and expenses, and if there is insufficient money available to carry on the county agent work as recommended that further action be taken by the board to insure county agents .being paid entirely by the state, the federal government and the counties. Mexico Recognithin Rumor False Washington, July 10.-(By A.P.) Officials at the state department to- day made the statement that they knew of no basis for rumors current in Wall street that the American rec- ognition of Mexico was imminent or that negotiations in Mexico City had been successfully concluded. The last of teh reports from the commissioners, it' was said, reached the department more than three days ago. It was to the general effect that negotiations were proceeding in what the American commissioners re- garded as a favorable manner. The commissioners gave us no indication as to when they hoped to be able to reach a conclusion, and report to Washington for approval..

Maughan, halted yester- day on his attempted dawn to dusk flight from New York to San; Fran- cisco when a short turn in avoiding a cow as he was forced down near St. Joseph to correct engine trouble wrenched away part of the landing gear, probably will fly back to New York Wednesday in preparation for a fresh attempt at the transcontin- ental flight within a week. Maughan, who left New York yes- terday at 3:56 a. in., eastern standard time, was forced to descend at 12:03 by an obstruction in the gasoline flow pipe of the airship. His ship will be reaired in the pasture where he alighted. But for damage to the landing gear he could probably' have had the gas pipe oh- struction removed and continued on west.

F. Shull o the biology department said in a le ture yesterdy afternoon on "The St tus of Evolution," "It is just as r diculous for a fundamentalist of t type of Bryan and his allies to o pose the doctrines of evolution on t grounds that biologists themselve disagree about evolution, provided o .course that they mean the fundame tal background of evolution, s would be for them to say that Joh nie who has been playing with t mud has hands as clean and sweet a baby's because his mother and s ter disagree as. to how he got h hands dirty." "Bryan's belief that scientists As disagreed as to evolution is true," 1 went on, "in so far as biologists dis gree only as 'to the cause of evoli tion, the direction that the progre takes, or the time that It has take to bring animals up to their presei state through the process of evol tion. No scientist of any repute," M Shull asserted, "will deny the funda mental background of the theory Bryan's assertion, therefore, that tI biologists disagree that there, is at such thing as evolution is false at ridiculous.
