"WITHIN THE LAW"
Mercenary interests of real estate
owners in New York City have reach-
ed a stage under the new "ironclad
lease" agreement of the United Real
Estate Owners association which puts
the tenants of East Sidle tenement dis-
tricts in a place only compara le to
that, of serfs under feudal o)pre sion
!of medieval times.
Running directly in conflict to the
Rosemman law which was recently en-
acted to protect the le ssee from unfairI
treatment at the hands of crafty land-f
lords, this new plan of the 'landlord's
union' is depriving the tenants of al-j
most every privilege it is theirs to!
possess They are allowed to pay rent,
to pay for all of their light, heat, wat-
er, and repairs. Aside from this per-
,mission to disburse their meagre re-
sources, there are no other allowances.
All else restricts their privileges.
Each apartment is limited as to
number of tenants which may occupy
it under a fixed rental and for every
additional person living in it .there
is an prorata charge annexed to the
regular fee. The promulgators of the
new agreemen$ which deprives the
lessee of his legal rights of posses-
sion have announced that .they adopt-
ed the measures under fire as pr6-
tection against false charges against
landlord, superintendent, janitor, and

Drives 25 Miles
To Attend College
Students may grumble and groan
over a cross-campus walk to a 10
o'clock class, and flivvers may revolt
against the cruel fate that put them
in the power of a student, but here's
B. G. Sutton of Maybe, Monroe
county, who drives 25 miles every,
day to attend classes in the Univer-
sity, and he never "bolts" or fails
to be on time.
Although close to the half century
mark in years, Mr. Sutton can keep
up with most of his younger class-
mates, when it comes to early morn-
ing vigor or lasting animation.
While many summer students at='
tend classes half-heartedly, then drift
lazily down to the river for a swim,.
Sutton goes to the library to studyj
for the next day's work, before driving
back to Maybe where he performs
his duties as pastor of the Congrega-j
tional church in that town.
Mr. Sutton graduated from Adrianj
college in 1898, where he received his
Ph.B. degree. He also received de-
grees from Kansas City, but still not'
satisfied with his education, he en-
rolled in the School of Education here.
He is looking for- new ideas, new hob-
-bies and methods.

They have virtually accussed the
occupants of their buildings with
mpss action wholly unjust and giving
the tenants an undue advantage since
they ordinarily outnumber the own-
er and his employees about ten to
)one. What sort of results they expect
to obtain by such treatment of the
men and women who furnish the main
portion of their income are hard to
imagine.
This organization is another highly
organized unit which has as its pur-
pose, staying "within the law." Sam-
kiel Untermeyer, attorney of the Fed-
eration of Tenant's Associations of
Greater New York, that is now bring-
ing suit against the landowner's or-
ganization, characterizes the action'
as bringing suit against the land-
as a "grotesgue and unlawful scheme
to circumvent the law." Going con-
trary to the spirit of the law is as
great an offense as direct disrespect
of it, and these manipulators are as
deserving of prosecution as those who
brazenly challenge the legal authority
of the state.

Progress in the organization pre-

for the Michigan Women's League
building, is reported by Mrs. Mollie
Price Cook, campaign advisor. The
lists of the University alumnae and,
alumni which will be used in the drive,
have already been compiled.
Charts showing the relation in
numbers of alumnae and alumni in
each istate have just been completed.
These will be used as a basis for the
district quotas to be established; also
the publicity organiration will kie-
pend largely upon the figures of these
charts. Most of the alumni come from
the states of Michigan and Illinois,
the proportion of women and men
being 4,634 to 12,689 and 620 to 3-178
respectively, while the lowest number
come from South Carolina and Dela-
ware, the proportion there being 3 to
34 and 5 to 17. In 30 of the southern
states, no city has over 101 alumnae,
which means that no permanent group
organixation can be formned there.

London, July 18-(By A.P.)--
The drafit of the British note to
Germany was completed today
it is expected that one sitting of
the cabinet council tomorrow will
suffice to obtain approval of the
ministries in which case the note,
with covering letter, will prob-
ably be despatched to the allied
governments Friday for their ap-

Arrangements Secret
Paris, July 18.-The French foreign
office indicated today that it expected
to receive the British communication
on the reparations problem Friday.
It has been pre-arranged by both
the French and British foreign offices
that the precise terms of the note
shall be guarded with the greatest
secrecy until the two governments
have reached an agreement or have
become convinced that they cannot

It is not supposed in the highest,
political levels here that the note will

Beginning with a summarization of
the universities of the Spanish-Am-

ies constantly being developed in
them, Prof. Julio del Toro, of the
Romance langue department of the
University delivered an illutrated lec-
ture yesterday afternoon on education
in the Spanish colonies.
He stated that during' that period
theology was the subject most stress-
ed, After the South American col-
onies gained their independence, the
governments took control of the high-
er educational institutions in the
country.
La Plat, a university in Buenos
Aires, Argentine,. he stated, is the
most modern institution up to the pre-
sent time and has just opened the
first dormitory for non-resident stu-
dents in Spanish-America. The med-
ical school is far more important than
any the 'branch of learning, al-
though law comes i na close second.
"Most teachers are prepared in
normal school, those in Chile and Ar-
gentine being the best," said Profes-
sor del Toro, adding that in the last
year the first woman ever to be
granted a professorship was appoint-,
ed to the chair of psychology in Chile.
