No. 43 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS FRENOKDELEGAITES LEAVE CONFERENCE FOR CABINET MEET HERRIOT AND AIDES GO TO PARIS TO CONFER ON IMPORTANT QUESTIONS FRENCH AND BELGIANS TO PROTECT NATIONALS Attitude of France on Evacuation of Rulhr Will be Decided in Cabinet Consultation London, Au'g. 7-(By A.P.)-Pre- mier -Herriot, War minister, General Nollet, and Finance minister Clem- entel, will go to Paris tomorrow after- noon for a cabinet conference and the negotiations of the Inter-allied con- ference here will be virtually suspend- ed until they return. Action by the French cabinet was necessitated by the fact that the ques tion of evacuation of the Ruhr is the chief obstacle to any final agreement of the conference and because M. Her- riot and Gen. Nollet, are reported to be in disagreement on this important matter. -The French premier promises to re- *turn to the British capital Monday amorning and in the meantime all eyes will be turned toward Paris where it !Is expected M. Herriot will confer with the members of .his cabinet re- garding the final stand the French delegates to the conference should take on the event of the Ruhr evacu- ation question and on the question of the maintenance of the French Bel- gian railroad men in the Rhineland district. The French and Belgians are hold- 'ing out for maintenance of their na- tionals on the German railway. The :French also demand that they /be as- :sured that the Germans will fill their (orders for dyes, and coke. necessary to ensure the future of the Alsation steel and textile industries.

Donaldson Gives Talk on Sculptor' TIhe final lecture of the summer series was given yesterday afternoon in the Natural Science auditorium by Prof. 1. M Donladson, of the depart- ment of fine arts. Professor Donald- son spoke on "Augustus St. Gaudens, ,Sculptor." SThe speaker gave a history of Am- erican sculpture to form background for his discussion of Augustus St. Gaudens, mentioning the various for- eign influences and their importance on 'sculture in, this country. People are much less appreciative af sculp- tor than of painting, Professor Don- aldson said, a fact which is due large- ly to the lack of understanding of this phase of art. He continued by sketching the life of the famous sculptor, his early years, education, travel and study under foreign art- ists. Lantern slidts were used to show some of St. Gauden's works. Several different views of his statue of Lin- coln, which stands in Lincoln Park, Chicago, were shown and compared with other artists conceptions of this figure. However the statue of St. Gaudens, Professor Donaldson be- lieves, is the one which will longest remain in the hearts of American peo-, ple.

Failure Of U.S. To Keep Up In Air March Probed .1 7: " : J .* The congressional aircraft probe committee in session. Left to right: Re presentative Patrick B. O'Sullivan; Rep. Florian Lampert, chairman of the committee; Rep, Frank B. Reid; George W. Lewis, Paul Hen. derson, Admiral William A. M offet, General Mason M. Patrick. Washington, Aug. 8.-Why is the United States, foremost in the devel- opment of aeronautics, lagg ng behind in the world race for air supremacy? A congressional committee is endeav- oring to find out. Aero authorities say that the con- gressmen won't have to plumb very deep to find the answer to the query. It's simply that congress, in its efforts to be economical, has consistently re- fused to provide sufficient funds for the proper development of the air ser- vices of the United States. The committee, including Reps. Florian Lampert, chairman, and Pat- rick B. O'Sullivan and Frank B. Reid, is braving Washington's torrid weath- er to hear the opinions of the men who have aero development in thel ,United States most at heart. These are such men as Rear Admiral Wil- liam A. Moffett, head of the navy's bureau of aernautics; Major General Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army air service; Paul Henderson, who as secand assistant postmaster general, has chharge of the air mail service, and George W. Lewis, executive of- ficer of the national advisory commit- tee on aeronautics. While the United States is thrilling the world with its exploits of being the first to circumnavigate the globe by air, the army and navy are woeful- ly lagging behind France and Great Britain, and perhaps Japan, too, in the development of "wings." Our air services are all right as far as they go, but their reach is pitifully short, say authorities. Right now the army air service is giving a measure of training to its re- serve air officers. What in? Obsolete and almost useless planes. Great Britain and France are spend- ing many more millions for airplanes than congress has ever been asked for., And this money is not "sunk," it returns dividends, for air equipment and personnel can be kept in trim in commercial service. It isn't like put- ting it into battleships and submar- ines that turn into Junk every few years without ever having earned the country a dollar. Aero authorities hope that this con- gressional probe will cause congress to give more serious attention to this' problem in its next session. NAVAL OFFICIALS DENY NEED OF ABANONING FLIGHT REAR ADMIRAL THOMAS MAGRU- DER CALLS CONFERENCE TO DISCONTINUE FLIGHT ICE CONDITIONS MAKE CONDITIONS SERIOUS efforts Will be Made to Locate Bases In Greenland For Use of Fliers Washington, Aug. 8.--(By A. P.)- Redoubled efforts will be made to lo- cate a place for emergency bases in Greenland for the use of the! Amer- ican round-the-world fliers, it was said today by the army air service in answer to suggestions that the re- mainder of the flight might be'post- poned, until next year because of- in- creasingly unfavorable ice conditions. Ice apparently has prevented entry into Angnegsalik, on the coast of Greenland first selected as the term- inal, and threatens the withdrawal of the naval convoys. No Necessity Informed that Rear Admiral Thom- as P. Magruder, heading the naval guard on the Atlantic route had call- ed a conference of the pilots to dis- cuss the advisability of discontinuing Vthe attempt at Reykjazik, Iceland,- without reaching a final decision of- ficials of the air service declared no necessity for abandoning the flight was yet apparent in any report re- ceived here. . "It is expected that the world flight will not be farther delayed," a statement issued from aviation headquarters said, "and within a short time the officials though it pos- 'sible to further safeguard the route by locating a floating base on the edge of the ice midway between the Jceland and Greenland terminals. Hope of Completion Admiral Magruder's precautionary \steps were approved at the navy de- partment where it was explained they ,had been taken on his own respon- sibility. The admiral's responsibility Former Daily Man Describes Beginning Of Michigan Daily Michiktitl Wai. the first school east of New England to publish a daily pa per, according to J4ge Harry D. Jew- ell, '91L, of Grand Rapids, who was a member of the board dt editors of the original campus Daily. nJudge, Jewell, was in Ann Arbor to visit his wife, Mrs. H. D. Jewell, who is here at the university to complete a course begun 32 years ago. The "U of M Daily" as it was first known, was born out of the strife be- tween fraternity men and independ- ents, according to Judge Jewell. Dur- ing the school years of 1888 and 1889 there was a great deal of rivalry be- tween these two factions. The inde- pendents claimed that the fraterni- ties were in control of all of the cam- pus activities, such as the publications and oratorical associations. All of the jpublications then appearing on the -=ampus were either weeklies or mon- thlie % and the independents felt that they we7e not sufficiently represented on these e.ganizations At that time all campus is u hinged on the fra- ternit=-independe*t question. In the spring of 1.. the independ- ents effected an organiz-4,Wp of their own aId were quite success;:t Jn hav- ing all campus elections termi at* in their favor. Flushed by their sucC'e9$, the independents determined to pub- lish a campus newspaper, their first issue to appear at the beginning of the fall term. Petitions were circu-' lated among the students of all theE schools. Following is a copy of the petition circulated by Judge Jewell As.istudntno f thA Law school: "Hereby we agree to subscribe for a New Independent newspaper, for the year 1890-91 to be published by the Universityestudents, at a subscription price to be hereafter fixed by the board of editors, not to exceed $2.00 or price of other College papers." Sufficient pledges were secured to warrant publication of the paper the following fall. At the end of the spring commencement of that year, however, the fraternities organized and promised a tri weekly paper for the coming fall. During the summer of that year the tentative board of editors of the inde- pendent paper made a canvass by let- ter and interview of as many of the people who had signed the petitions as they were able to get in touch with. The result was a decision to make the new publication a daily. On September 29, 1890 the first num- ber of the "U of, M Daily" made its appearance. Solicitors were at the railroad station to obtain subscrip- tions from the students as they ar- rived. The members of the original business and editorial staff were: Managing editor, H. B. Shoemaker, '91, who is now a lawyer at Phoenix, Ariz.; assistant managing editor, A. H. Covert, '92, who died in Detroit in 1917; business manager, M. B. Ham- mond, '91, who is now a professor of ec-omics at O.S.U.; assistant busi- ness manager, W. B. O'Neill, '91, who died in Washington in 1893; and R. W. Doughty, '92, who is now a New York lawyer.

Many times the players were forced to stop by the glase of laughter and the rounds of applauseI that swept the house. The occasionsI for one of these was the announce-{ ment by Mr. Wm. Ames that he was collecting first editions of the Bible. Another reason for the popularity of this play was its wurer diction which caused at least a part of thes audience to prefer "The Intimate St- rangers" to "You and I" which was given last night. *The lion's share of the hoors went to Lionel Ames, 24, who played the part of Johnny White. All the sup- porting cast did exceptionally fineA work, and seemed more happily sel- ected than the previous one, for each one seemed admirably suited to his part. The ponderous snores of Mr., H. L. Ewbanksadded to the effective- ness of the first act.j Miss Bellamy gave a very satisfac- tory rendition of the energetic flap- per while Miss Starr's portrayal of the old fashioned girl was delightful. For the benefit of those who were unable to see the performance of 'You and II". it wil be repeated by the same cast tonight at 8 o'clock. BATTLE. CREEK ALUMNI SHOLD RALY REUNION Last week the University of Mich- igan Alumni club of Battle Creek had a big rally and by amending the laws became an actual chapter of the Mich- igan club.' Golf and tennis tournaments were staged and the winners were present- ed with solid tin loving cups two feet high. Also a baseball game was played, the engineer and literary stu- dents combining against the medicine and la walumnae. The engineers proved victorious under the captaincy, of Cyrus Goodrich of the class of .1914. At the banquet Coach Bryant of the Battle Creek high school, who has been a student here this summer un- der Coach Yost, gave a speech on the sway the gridiron class was conduct- ,ed. Mr. T. Hawley Tapping, secretary of all the alumni clubs followed on \the program.

C. Hunter as director of the settings. Mr. Fleischman originated the idea of a play festival after the manner of the strolling players of Shakespear- ean times. At the beginning of the session, he presented the idea to the students of presenting such .a play festival and theybecame enthusiast- ic, and arranged a program. They will simply pick out a pleasant spot and with the simplest of stage pro- perties present their interpretations of the various plays. Faculty and friends, who have cars, are invited to attend all the perfor- mances and others as many as possi- ble. The outdoor performances offer the opportunity of experimenting with a different sort of make-up and the twilight program, at the island, is an innovation in play productions. READING CLASSES WILL CITE RECITAL TUESDAY Under the direction of Prof. R. C. Hunter of Ohio Wesleyan University, selections from "The Merchant of Ven- ice" will be presented by the class in Shakespeare Reading Tuesday evening in University Hall. In order to give each student an opportunity to interpret an important part, the cast will be changed in each scene.

Reykjazik, Iceland, Aug. 8.-(By A. '.)-The world flight of the American 'army aviators who have already com- pleted 21,000 miles in their effort to ,put a girdle about the earth seems in danger of being abandoned today owing to the ice conditions off Green- land, which aresdeclared to be the worst in 20 years. Lieut. Lowell H. Smith who is in command of the flight and Major Crumrine, of the American army air ,§ervice, were called into consultation by Rear Admiral Thomas 'G. Magru- der on board the cruiser Richmond. The conference was called to consid- er the question of calling of the flight for this reason. Both Lieutenant Smith and Major Qrumrine argued that there were still hopes of com- pleting the projected hop from Ice- land to Greenland and then to Lab- rador.
