T4r # 'ummrx ,.r., THE WEATHER FAIR AND WARMER TODAY rb Ia tAJW qqw l ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY AND NIGHT WIRE SERVICE i VOL. XV. No. 32 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS CONFERNCE STILL ON LOAN REPRESENTATIVES RENEW EFFORTS FOR PEACE London, July 26.-Renewed efforts were being made today to effect a compromise between the apparently irreconcilable attitude of the French delegates to the inter-allied confer- ence and the stand of the internation- al financiers on guarantees for the proposed 40,000,000 pound loan to Germany which will launch the Dawes plan on reparations. Notwithstanding the week-end holi- day, the leading representatives of the allied governments here did not relax their endeavors to break the dead- lock which has assumed such serious proportions. An acceptable compromise, it is said, would - still permit the French to maintain their rights under the Versailles Treaty and at the same time provide such guarantees that the financiers could offer the German bonds to investors with assurances of perfect safety. Much Accomplished Despite the delays which have oc- curred, the atmosphere of the confer- ence negotiations is not altogether ofl a pessimistic character. A British official sid the technical work of ther conference had been completed and that the conferees were ready fort their next plenary session Monday at 4 p. m. This is taken by many to in- dicate that an agreement between thec delegates from France and the inter-c national bankers is impending. Only three problems remain to be dealt with. The first is the all-im- portant one of reconciling the bank- ers to the conference experts' pro- r osed methods of dealing with Germ- an violations of the Dawes plan. TheI .econd is a minor question of rail- road control in the Ruhr and the third the question of German repre- Atation at the conference. It is evx- ted that Berlin will be requested immediately to send delegates to Lon- ;On. g g ganag It is increasingly evident that the British and French premiers d not intend to give way entirely to the de- S ands of the financiers who wouldr float the German loan. It is believed! or either premier to do so. Two that it would be politically suicidal inch bankers are said to be hurry- ing to London to strengthen Premiert Edouard Herriot's hands on the loant guarantee matter. The, summoning of these financiers suggests that inc launching a comparatively small loant under the Dawes plan reliance need not be placed exclusively on any one international banking group. In the meantime considerable in- terest was expressed here over the announcement that J. P. Morgan isI wiling for Europe. Notwithstandinge the statement given out by the finan- cier in New York that he was sailing for his annual holiday and that his trip had nothing to do with the Lon- don conference, many were inclinedr to believe that his appearance here might have considerable effect on conference negotiations. MAN.GRADUATES AT ONCE FROM H.5e. AND COLLEGE Carl W. Connors, of Denver, Colo., recently received diplomas from high school and from the University of Colorado within 48 hours. In 1917 after attending a Denver high school for a year, he enlisted in the navy. When he returned fromt service overseas he resumed his 'ed- ucation by entering the University of Colorado as a special student. Ar- rangements were made for his credit hours at the university to apply to- wards his high school diploma. When he graduated at the university the high school presented him with sheepskin, also. He had' incurred physical disabilities during his naval service and his educational courses were under the supervision of the United States Veterans' bureau.

WOOD, MRS. WOOD-SIMONS SPEAK IN MEETING Legislation regarding the status of women and of children in industry is a very definite measure of the social progress of a nation and therein the United States is somewhat behindt many of the European countries, ac- cording to Professor A. E. Wood, ofc the Sociology department who open- ed the final meeting of the Institute of Politics of the Women Voters Sat- urday morning at 10 o'clock. Child Labor Law Necessary E The first part of the lecture was. given over to a discussion of wo- man's position in that field with a omment by Professor Wood that the proposal to rectify the present condi- ion by an amendment to the Federalt constitution would be an unfortunate development because it would annul ,ll the existing laws, some of which would not be replaced; and thatt might work a hardship in many cases. Child labor needed no regulation until industry was transferred fromr the home to the factory, for under the )ld apprentice system a personal rela- tion existing between the child and1 the employer was a very material1 crotection which safeguarded thet child from unfortunate results. t Under modern conditions this pro-E tection must be supplied by law and the standards set up by the National Children's Bureau are worthy of ac-t ceptance as uniform requirement in[ the field. Teacher Must Developt Mrs. May Wood-Simons, chairman )f citizenship schools in Illinois, lec- tured Saturday morning in the audi-, orium of University High School on1 Popular Methods of Teaching Gov- ernment.t According to the speaker, the teach- r must be a growing person who has .he diea of research and study. This s important because of the fact thatt political science is continually chang- ing. The very fundamental thing con-1 2rning the material to be taught inE citizenship schools pertains to govern- I iental functions, rather than to the machinery of government. We have ary few real sources of information. Aagazine articles and editorials are al right in their way-covering ma- erial rather well, but governmental documents are the essential source of' knowledge. In one Illinois high' school they are utilizing the real gov- ernmental documents instead of text ;ooks. There is no better source of erial tha state reports, and all women should pass them. One hun- dred women in Chicago have been studying the Dawes Report as a foundation for intelligent discussion. In teaching citizenship the lecture method is to be avoided and consid- red as the least effective means of, presentation-the project method t .e used, in its place. The slogan which has bien taken in illinois is "A citizenship school with- n reach of every women in the state." In some counties in this state, as many as seven of these Ichools have been established.I they were greeted by an enormous throng and triumphantly escorted into.

"The Institute will be continued for many years," stated Mrs. May Wood- Simons, chairman of the Institute. "It has to be, until we have brought into the schools the seriousness of citizenship." And then she added, half seriously and laughingly, "Nec- essarily, our work has been confined to women, although, of course, the men need it just as badly." Mrs. Paul Rittenhouse, secretary to the fourth region of the National League of Women Voters, declared, "I do not doubt that the Institute will be held again. We plan to have an Institute of this kind in every region and to do things similarly to what is Jeing done in Illinois and Ohio. I am very pleased with the success we I lave met with this year, and a large j number of women will go away and tart citizenship schools in their own :ommunity. This is, after all, the ;urpose of the Institute." "There has been great success man- ifested both in the attendance and abstance of the Institute," affiimed virs. George W. Patterson, president f the Ann Arbor League of Women 'oters, "and I think it is the unani-' sous opinion of all. Holding it in a niversity town has given it an added' interest.

CIVIIAS TOLD TO LEAE SAD PAULO1, ORDERED OUT ASTROOPS PREPARE TO FIRE ' ON CITY Montevideo, Uruguay, July 26.-In preparation for a heavy bombardment of Sao Paulo, the commander of the federal army besieging the city has ordered all civilians to leave Sao Paulo, it was reported here today in, dispatches from Santos, the port of. Sao Paulo. Conflicting reports as to the whereabouts of Dr. Campos, presi- dent of the state of Sao Paulo, also came from Santos, where it was said the president had issued a manifesto denying he had fled from Sao Paulo but was with the federal army there' fighting to regain the city from the rebels. Previous reports had Dr. Campos aboard a Brazilian warship in Santos harbor. A state of seige has been declared by the federal gov- ernment in six states, according to dispatches from Rio de Janeiro which named Rio Grande do Sul and Rio Grande de Norte, Matto Grosso, Ser- gipe, Bahia and Santa Catalina. Troops Fight in Streets Washington, July 26.-The state de- partment was advised that fighting; between the streets and federal troops continues in the streets of Sao Paulo. A series of engagements were also re- ported on the roadways leading from Santos to Sao Paulo, along which the Praziliat. government attempted to move re-enforcements. Inquiries at the state department regarding a possible intervention by the United States, were met with a statement that no such effort was contemplated at this time. Officials, however, would not discuss the possi- bility of dispatching warships to pro tect American interests. The capture of considerable rebel supplies by Brazilian federal troops in their attack against the rebels at Sao Paulo was reported in an of- ficial communique issued through the Brazilian embassy here today. COOLIDGEASARILS DEFENS E DAY CRITICS MANEUVERS CALLED NON-MILI'TAIRY GESTURE Washington, July 26.-Branding as "unfair" and "misleading," the meth- ods being employed by certain pacifist organizations in opposing defense day, September 12, President Coolidge to- day rebuked the National Council for the Prevention of War for its opposi- tion to national preparedness. In a letter to Frederick J.- Libby, execu- tive secretary of the organizaiton, the president said, commenting on the war department's plan in setting aside a day for the observance of national defense: "Instead of being a military ges- ture, this plan is the exact obposite. It is a non-militaristic gesture, for the purpose of keeping down to its low- est possible point the professional military organization of the Uhited States. Claims Unfair "It seems unfair that the plans for defense day should be condemned out of hand, simply through the device of misrepresentation." The president said the September maneuvers were merely a compliance with the purposes of the National bring home to the nation the need for Defense law of 1920, designed to voluntary peacetime preparation for home defense. He jcondemned the tactics of the pacifists in dubbing de- fense day as "mobilization day." "It is not a mobilization," he said, "and the people who first attached to it thepterm 'mobilization day,' and then proceeded to condemn it have been utterly unfair." Mr. Coolidge explained that he is in hearty sympathy with all efforts to make war an impossibility. He point- ed out, however, that the American government "is compelled to confront the realities of the world." Gives Specific Reasons He cited the failure of the arms conference to limit the size of the armies of the world, as a specific rea- son for the need of preparedness. "I wish crime might be abolished; but I would not, therefore, abolish courts and police protection," he said. "I wish war might be made impossi- ble; but I would not leave my coun- try unprotected meanwhile. The de- fense tests seems to me a means to assure the fullest efficiency to the ex- tremely modest defense force our country maintains. "Our laws provide a small perma- nent army and contemplate its ex- pansion to meet emergencies, should they arise. Defense day is intended to bring to the people a reminder of their relations to, and dependence up- on, this skeleton defense establish- ment, in case our country is attack- ed." F'ORMER FOOTBALL STR DIES AT GAR, INDIANA George J. Dunleavy, ex-'22, and formerly of some repute as a fullback l on the Varsity eleven, died a few days ago at Gary, Indiana, where he was the proprietor of a sporting goods store. While at the University Dun- leavy substituted for Franklin Cappon, and had made a name as a forward passer. He was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Physicians gave as the cause of his death a bursted appendix and so-called "athletic heart." Junkers Becoming Restless German Junkers are growing rest- less at the insignificant role that they have to play in a democracy. They wish to figure more the political roles in the Reichstage and influence more the party policies. As it is now, the nobility have to remain quiet because of popular opinion and because they wish to garner as many votes as pos- sible. The "Association of Noblemen? a junker paper for the nobility, comr- plains bitterly against this. Winning of South American Independ- ence." Bolivar, the speaker declared, is the George Washington of the north- ern part of South America. His ear-! ly education, under the supervision of an eccentric guardian, greatly in- .fluenced his life. Dr. Aiton, sketch- ing the early life of the hero, told of his education, supplemented by ' a knowledge of the world gained through extensive travel in Europe and the United States; his marriageI to an aristocratic Spanish lady, whose, death 10 months later permanently clouded his life; and finally his de- termination to liberate his country. After many years of defeat he suc- ceeded in the battle of Junin and Ayacucho in putting an end to Span- ish power in the porthern part of South America. During the remain- ing years of his life his subordinates turned against him, and in 1830, great- ly disappointed with his lot lie re- signed. Shortly after this his death occurred. Ilis life was marked by a great suc- cess and one failure, said Dr. Aiton. The success-his lilferation of his country; his failure-his inability to bind the countries together under one government. That can not be held against him for the people were not prepared for independence. HOSPITAL TO ERADICATE MALRIA 9IN PHILIPPINES A modern hospital designed prim- arily for the eradication of malaria in the provinces of Pampanga and Bat- aan, Island of Luzon, has been open- ed at the Pampanga Sugar Mills Cen- tral at Del Carmen, 60 miles north of Manila. The hospital which is one of the most completely equipped in the Phil- ippines is the gift of John D. and Adolph B. Spreckels of San Francis-' co. The institution in addition to being used for the care of medical and I surgical cases in the two provinces will be the headquarters for the Rock- efeller Foundation and the Philippine Health service in their campaign for control of malaria. R. R. Hind, general manager of the central, outlining the purpose of the donners in making the hospital pos- sible, pointed out that the physical welfare of the Filipino workman was most important not only to himself but also to his employer. Swiss radio magazine has suspend- ed publication because of slow growth of the science in that country.
