THE WEATHER FAIR AND WARMER TODAY x4r. Oummer Itr ttl ASSOCIATED PRESS DAY AND NIGHT WIRE SERVICE VOL. XV. No. 38 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, AUGUST 3, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS I OPPOSITION TO DEFENSE TEST ROUSES PERSHING WHITE HOUSE SILENT ON REF US. AL WISCONSIN GOVERNOR TO PARTICIPATE D.A.R. ASSURES AID Washington, Aug. 2.-With General Pershing leading the defense, the war department today began to hit back at opponents of the "defense test" on Sept. 12. . The first step today was publication by the war department of a letter written Secretary Weeks by Mrs. Anthony W. Cook, president-gen- eral of the Daughters of the Americ- an Revolution, assuring the depart- ment of the co-operation of 26 patri- otic and veteran societies in the hold- Ing of the defense test. General Pershing, just returned from Europe, is exercised over the agitation against the defense test. Since the conclusion of the world war it has been Pershing's life ambition to train the citizenry of the nation again- at the possibility of another war. May Prove. Beniefit But Pershing in one way believes that the opposition to the test may prove a good thing. He believes there is a misunderstanding in the minds of the people as to just what the test means and seeks to accomplish. He plans to issue a formal statement ex- plaining the test, when the atmos- phere is less charged with politics. He does not want to get into a political controfersy. The following organizations have pledged their co-operation in the de- fense test, letters made public today by the war department said: t Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, Sons of the Revolution, Daught- ers of 1812, United Confederate Veter- ans, United Daughters of the Confed- eracy, United Spanish War Veterans, Naval and Military Orde.r of the Span- ish-American War, Veterans of For- eign Wars of the United States, Am- erican Legion, Disabled American Veterans of the World War, Military Order of the World War, Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion, Na- tional Guard Association, Reserve Officers' Association, Association of the Army of the United States, Milit- ary Training Camps Association, Na- tional League of omen's Service, Wo- men's Constitutional League, League of American Pen Women, Sentinels ofs the Republic, National Security Lea-c gue, National Association for Consti- tutional Government, National Civic Federation, and Camp Fire Girls. Silent on Blain's Order Neither the White House nor the , war department would comment today on the action of Governor Blaine of Wisconsin, in refusing to mobilize the Wisconsin national guard for "de- fense test" day. Among veteran chess devotees of prominence is Fred W. C. Crane, of Morristown, N. Y. He is in his eigh- t ty-second year and learned to play at the age of 10. He originated a pock- r et chessboard well-nigh indispensable to enthusiasts, turning out over 4,000 of them. n New Premier Of Jugo-Slavia Has Policy Of Peace Union Plans New Services For Summer Student Patrons Adopting as its aim a better serv- ice to the campus and the summer student, the Michigan Union is plan- ning many improvements in its admin- istration together with new and pro- gressive ideas regarding many of the old departments. Under the leader- ship of its new manager, Elliot Proc- tor who has come here from the1 Deshler Hotel of Cleveland to take theI place left vacant by the resignation of Dennis Donovan, the new plans are rapidly formulating. The tap room, which combines as a lunch service for students similar to the grill rooms of hotels and clubs, is undergoing a transformation which will aim to increase the facil- ities for service as well as the ven- tilation of the room which has long been considered to be faulty. Thel change contemplated includes the in-1 stallation of new electric devices for9 cooking short orders, the installationl of the best modern ice boxes, and a complete change of the ventilation to carry the air out of the tap room in-1 to the cooking rooms behind. Fur-t ther changes will be made in the ser-l vice counter, and accommodations will be made for sixty people more than1 can now be accommodated.' For the past few weeks, during the I( hot evenings, dinner has been serv- ed on the Union Terrace, where din- ers ca'n eat on the open porch in the cool breezes. Patrons of the Union ,,dinners express particular pleasure with this new feature in Union serv- 'ice. An orchestra has also been add- ed to the equipment of the dining room. A group of four players, re- cruited from the regular Union or- chestra, play throughout the dinner service, .offering selections of classi- cal and semi classic nature. This idea has never been tried by the Un- ion authorities before, and is meeting with considerable success. In the pursuit of their aim to bring the Union closer to the student and make it a real home for Michigan men, these improvements have been made. Further changes are seen in the decoration of the ball room, the installation of the special "blue plate" luncheon, while larger projects in the shape of the swimming pool, which will soon be completed, the reading room, which is now under construc- tion, following the gift of funds from Mrs. Edward W. Pendleton, and the special counter on the Terrace for use during the football rush season,1 all promise to make the Union more really a home for Michigan men. Luboir Davidovitcl, the new premier of Jugo-Slavia, has proclaimed a policy of "peace in the Balkans." FORMER ENVOY SAYS U9S. RELATIONS O.K. SUCCESSOR TO WARREN WILL BE NAMED AT ONCE Washington, Aug. 2.-Relations be- tween the United States and Mexico are on a more satisfactory basis now than at any time since the Diaz ad- ministration, Charles Beecher Warren, who on Monday will resign as the American ambassador to Mexico City, declared in an interview today. Warren predicted that his succes- sor would be appointed without delay as President Coolidge, whose guest he is at the White House, is desirous of filling the post before the Ameri- can-Mexican claims commission meets at Mexico City to begin adjudication of the claims of the two governments. Outspoken in his praise of Presi- dent Obregon, Warren said that the Mexican executive, who is soon to be succeeded in office by Plutarcho al- es, has a "greater control and a more stable government" than has been ac- orded the Mexican people since the reign of General Diaz. "I regard the special mission which Iundertook last year as having been accomplished," Warren said. "I went as the head of the American commis- sion to negotiate a basis for the re- sumption of diplomatic relations. That as been done and the work approv- d, resulting in the recognition of Mexico. "I accepted the ambassadorship with the understanding that when he work was completed and the work was completed and the new problems aising because of the (de La Huerta) evolution had been solved, I would ie at liberty to resign. The two com- missions have been agreed upon, and will meet in Washington and at Mex- co City." WILL DISCUSS SIPS ELECTRICALY POWERED A discussion of what has been done a the use of electric power on ships nd of some of the possible future evelopments will constitute the theme f the lecture to be given by Prof. . F. Bailey, of the electrical engin- ering department of "The Electrified hip." The lecture will be in the Na- ural Science auditorium at 5 o'clock londay afternoon. America is thus far the only nation* vhich has definitely adopted the elec- rified ship, a development which in 'rofessor Bailey's opinion will be- ome generally used in battleships nd cruisers. Something like twen- y American battleships are equipped ow with electric drives. I Co -Ed's Merits Given Rating By Bench Loungers What is it all about-this myster- ious campus activity which is car- ried on, on our diagonal every day? The game, for such it is, is an anci- ent one, being originated back iuthe days when man first began to take notice of women in general. In ye olden days, the cave boys would sit on a cliff and discuss among themselves the respective merits of the girls as they sauntered on the trail below, to and from their classes in cave-mak- ing. Since them there days, the game has progressed in- technique, the method changing, but the idea re- mainyng somewhat the same. To- day the boys sit on the senior benches near the tin-shop college, and enter into vigorous discussions about the co-ed as she saunters to and from her classes in home making and home breaking. The conversation among the boys on the benches is indeed colorful. They rate the "bims" one, two, or three merits, according to what they they think she deserves. The system for marking their merits is unique. There are no set rules; it is glorious- ly spontaneous. CINEMA WUERTH "The Westbound Limited" comes to the Wuerth today for four days. This feature was announced last week, but due to an error in bogkings it was not shown. Against the melodramat- ic features of the picture is a beauti- ful and well defined love story that gives the production, as a whole, a tremendous appeal. The feature attraction for the latter half of the week at the Wuerth will be announced in a later issue of the Daily. ORPHEUM Herbert Rawlison in "Stolen Eec- rets" will give a one day performance at the Orpheum today. There will al- so be Fox news, and Billy Sullivan in the last of "The Leather Pushers." The Orpheum will close its doors after the last performance Sunday night for about a month for general repairs. Announcement as to its fall policy will be made in the first is- sue of the September Daily. MAJESTIC "The White Moth" which comes to the Majestic starting today for a four day run offers exceptional screen en- tertainment and marks a new achieve- ment for Maurice Turneur, the drec- tor. It is a beautiful, fantastic, ab- sorbing piece of cinema entertainment revolving around the gay night life of Paris and the whirl of society in New York. Barbara La Marr is co- starred with Conway Tearle. "Not One to Spare," based on Ethel Lynn Beers' well known poem, opens Wife Of British Scientist Talks About Women It is interesting to hear that Mrs. Bragg, the wife of the English phys- icist lecturing here this summer, is amused at the women here on th campus who think they not well treat- ed. For during here education in England at Cambridge the women were most careful of their conduct so that they would not offend the men in any way-t4. faculty especially had to be most respectfully regarded. Where athletics are concerned, the1 American women cannot hold a candle to the Englhlish women. The women att Cambridge have inter-varsity contestsl with the Oxford women and others-4 in hockeyfi and tennis, etc. Canoeingt .and rowing are ever so much more popular in England-Mrs. Bragg said that a woman in Cambridge had toi pass a canoeing test before she wasI permitted on the river. Mrs. Bragg thinks women here play golf well but1 not tennis-which is the most popular sport over there. Our buildings are so much more tidy and are equipped with every comfort for the students which ist again different from the English sys- tem, says Mrs. Bragg. There the l buildings are dusty and murty to the last degree in contrast to our tidiness. The lighting system of our library is1 quite a luxury compared to the dimly ,illuminated libraries of the old Eng- lish universities. Clement's library1 was a most gorgeous building to Mrs.t Bragg and she said that she blushed1 at the collection of of English familyf records she found among the collec-l tion of rare documents and books that Mr. Clements has.E i 1 1 i t t t f l E Skrzynsky Called GHENT To Warsaw To Be Foreign Minister RE INVITATION EXTENDED TO GER- "MANSTO ATTEND LONDON : MEETING ARE EXPECTED MONDAY j8 S.London, Aug. 3-(By A.P.)-The in- ter-allied reparation conference reach- ed a complete agreement shortly af- ternoon and the chief delegates are I framing an invitation to the Germans to come to London.
