No. 19 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1924 PRICE FIVE CENTS CUMMING LfCTURES ON INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH HEAD OF UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE COMIIPL- MENTS UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL EFFORT SPENT ON QUARANTINES Has Established Permanent Office In Paris To Deseninate Intelligence "To paraphrase Lincoln's state- ment, 'The world can not remain half- epidemic disease ridden and half free from disease' ", said Surgeon General Hugh, S. Cummig in his lecture on "Public Health from an International Standpoint" delivered at 8:00 o'clock at Natural Science Auditorium last night. Dr. Cummings speaks with authority and from ex- perience as he is the Head of the United States Public Health Service, the largest official health agency in the country. After paying tribute to the pioneer work which the University of Michi- gan is doing along tre line of pre- ventive medicine, Dr. Cummings pro- ceeded to outline the international efforts in similar directions. 'Until recent years", he said, "in- ternational effort has been almost entirely directed towards making uni- form and efficient quarantine regul- ations and towards inducing countries to remove useless, expensive, and bur- densome restrictions upon com- merce." Tse Conventions of Vence,Paris, and Rome in the nineties were results of such effort, the latter resulting in the establishment in Paris of a per- manent office with a staff to collect and desemminate epidemiological in- telligence, and of the permanent Com- mittee composed of one representative from each of the powers signatory to the Convention. "But", said Dr. Cum- mings, "in these international con- ferences there is almost always sharp line-up of those powers who control large maritime interests against those who have little shipping. It is diffi- cult to reconcile the conflicting iner- ests for few countries have identical interests and conditions, and, frank- ly, few live up to the agreements." The greatest distinct menace to the civilized world until recently has been the Mohammedan pilgrimages to the Holy Cities when pilgrims from plague and cholera epidemic centers of India and the Far East carried these diseases to the Arabian Shrines whence infected pilgrims from Russia, Turkey and the Mediterranean return- ed to their native lands. These con- ditions led to the control of the Red Sea, Egyptian and Turkish maritime quarantine stations by an internation- al sanitary board which has undoubt- edly saved Europe and ourselves from many serious outbreaks of epidemic of cholera. The lecture was conJuded with an account of the spread of disease dur- ing the late war and the work of the League of Red Cross Societies organ- ized at that time, and that of the Rockefeller International Board. St. Louis, July 11.-Declaring that Senator Robert M. LaFollette iand Gov. Charles W. Bryan "would carry every state west of Pennsylvania and north of the Mason and Divon line, with several southern states," Sheri- dan Carlisle, president of the National Progressive league, telegraphed Sen- ator LaFollette, urging Bryan as a running mate. BRANEIS WANhL AS MATl FOR LAFOLLTTE Davidson, Disciple Of Carlyle And Ibsen, Outstanding Poet WILL GE ILLUST [TED TRANSPORTTIN TA The philosophy of John Davidson was the subject of an address de livered at the Natural Science auditor- ium yesterday afternoon by Prof. R. M. Wenley of the philosophy depart- ment. Davidson, although little known, was one of the greatest poets of the nineteenth century, Mr. Wenley declar- ed. He was the English speaking representative of the third group of romanticists, which includes Nietz- sche and D'Annunzio, and which be-; lieves in the supremacy of the indivi- dual over the convention of society. Prof. Wenley traced the develop- ment of the romantic movement In philosophy in literature from the ap- pearance of Goethe's "Werther" through the three schools which fol- lowed it. In the first group, which sought to escape as individuals from the conventions of society, are found such names as Byron and De Musser. A second group appeared to oppose! these with the so-called "stand fast" theory. In this group, by far the largest and most prominent, such fig- ures as Herder, Schelling, Hugo, Car- lyle, 'Emerson, and Newman stand I out. More recently the third school, the so-called Neo-romanticists or I Pragmatists, tend to revert to the theories of the first, but with the dif- ference that they lead an active at- tack upon conservatism and society. It is in this group that Neitzsche, Davidson and D'Annunzio belong. Neo-romanticism sees man, himself a god, not as made in the image of the Christian God, but worshipping a god made in the image of all that is best in man. Prof. Wenley illustrated the theories of Davidson by selections from his verse. Davidson was strongly influenced by Ibsen and Carlyle, but notwithstand- ing the similarity in thought, Nietz- sche does not appear to have been a force of any consequence in the mould- m ing of his thought. Prof. H. E. Riggs who will lecture on "The Develop- ment in American Transportation," Thursday evening at 5 o'clock, in Na- tural Science auditorium. The lec- Louis D. Brandeis, associate justice of the United States supreme court, is being strongly urged as a running mate for Robert M. LaFollette. POLITICA [SCHOOL TO OPEN JULY 2 1 Dean E. H.

BRYA WILL HELP DAIS IN CAMPAIGN Dine Together At Polk Residence Which Davis Has Made His Headquarters CADOO'S POKLTION SILL RAISES CONSIDERABLE WONDER New York, July 11.-After a nights rest at his home at Locust Valley, John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for president, returned to New York today to give further consideration to campaign plans at the home of his legal associate, Krank L. Polk, which he is making his city headquarters. All doubt about the attitude of William Jennings Bryan toward the head of the ticket seems to have been dispelled by Mr. Bryan's statements that his support will be forthcoming. Mr. Bryan and his brother, Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, nom- inee for vice president, dined last night with Mr. Davis at the Polk resi- dence. There remains some wonder as to the position of W. G. McAdoo in the campaign. The New York World to- day prints a front page story suggest- ing that Mr. McAdoo form another party. Mr. McAdoo has maintained silence since sending a telegram to Mr. Davis limited in effect to the words: "Please accept my congrat- ulations." New York papers are frankly skep- tical of the attitude towards the nat- ional ticket of Mayor Hylan and some even suggest that a Smith-Hylan bat- tle for control of Tammany Hall looms. Some political circles expect that New York will be the center of the Davis campaign. With 266 electoral votes necessary for success and with Davis reasonably assured of 147 from the solid south plus Maryland and Kentucky, according to these opinions the 45 of the Empire state will be vit- al and next to New York much atten- tion must be devoted to Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana. There is much speculation as to the future political career of Gov. Smith, who indorsed the national ticket in a speech before the convention. Asked whether he would run for governor again in the fall, he expressed a pre- ference to return to private business. SUMMER STUDENTS TO BE GUESTS AT MIXER Tonight at 8 o'clock in Wesley hall the Wesleyan Guild will give its first "student mixer' of the summer. It is open to all studentsand their friends in order to a'fford them the oppor- tunity of becoming better acquainted. Table games will be the main fea- ture of entertainment and refresh- ments will be served. This is in the nature of a "trial party,' that is to say, if the attendance is promising there is more fun to be had; if it is poor, no more parties. Everyone is urged to come. HUBBRD INJURED, UNABLE TO ENTER HOP, STEP, JUP AMERICAN HOPES SUFFER BLOW WHEN MICIGAN STAR BRUISES FOOT LIDDELL, BRITISH STAR, SETS 400-METER RECORD Osborne, Illinois A. C.

C., who had shattered the previous world's record an hour before in tire semi-finals. The American track and field forces suffered a blow today when it dvelop- ed that Dehart Hubbard the Negro star , wifner of the broad jump, was definitely out of the hop, step and jump as the result of a stone bruise on the heel. Hubbard, who sustained the injury in the first take-off of the broad jump Tuesday, hobbled onto the field today with the aid of a cane, declaring he would not compete in the hop, step and jump, as a further mishap might mean a serious disable- ment. The University of Michigan man had been counted on to score high and possibly win-the event. Harold Osborne, Illinois A. C. the American national champion, made the best time in the 100-meter dash, the opening event of the decathlon, in turning in 11 1-5 seconds for 825.2 points. Harry Freida, University of Chicago and Emerson Norton, Geo- rgetown, showed 11 3-5 seconds, mark- ing up 762 points.
