Brosseau, national president of tl D. A. R., which she wrote followi an address of Dr. President Little Wayne recently, was issued from t president's office yesterday. The text of the letter is as follows: July 17, 19 Mrs. Alfred J. Brosseau President-General National Society Daughters of ti American Revolution Harbour Road Greenwich, Connecticut My dear Mrs. Brosseau: Absence from the State has pr vented before my acknowledgmenthc your letter of the seventh. Witho commenting on its references to m recent remarks may I express my a preiation of the fact that you clear; distnguish between the University o Michigan of which as you sta I "happen at the moment to b President" and my personal view Fortunately for me those who are th governors of this institution give m the right to personal opinions eve though they may not agree wit them and I am glad that these opir ions will not be confused by you wit the University which so greatly a preciates what you and your hu band are doing to aid needy student Of course that fact cannot for a m ment be desired by either of us t influence me in stating what I be lieve to be right. To some Americans of Revolution ary descent and to some equal] American citizens whose encestry Ii this country is more recent the pres ent situation appears menacing. W do not care to be ruled either6 by side or foreign influences or by insid secret deliberations and decisions o an inner and privileged council of an: organization. We prefer to deal di rectly with principles and ideals t which we can be whole heartedi loyal. We believe that organization should exist for the use of mankind not for his enslavement. We believ also that we recognize what America means to us and that we have no only the right but the duty when w see a society-no matter how fai may be its name-standing as a men ace in the path of buch relationship between our country and its citizens td say so in no uncertain terms. In these days life is very compli cated. It is very probable that neither you nor I are entirely right in ou point of view. Unfortunately neithe of us is as well qualied to judge o our own correctness as are those ver impersonal old gentlemen Time and Experience. Why not agree to dis agree without personal bitterness o slurs as to one anothers personalities or positions. The world will prob ably go on just the same. Very truly yours, C. C. LITTLE. he letter from Mrs. Brosseau to the President W"aa sent as an answer to an address delivered by Dr. Little at Wayne, Michigan, in which he crIt- icized the D. A.

"Marchl s Hares" which the company presented s in a brilliant manner last evening is es different from "Chicago" as "Chi- r cago" was from "The Mean Who Mar- r Tied A Dumb Wife." This play is a r light airy sort of thing, in which the f lines are fascinating and the situa- Y tions novel and amusing, but which seems to spend three clever acts jour- - neying from somewhere to no place r at all. Everyone ha'a a good time en route so the actual destination makes no difference anyway. Geoffrey Wareham and Janet Rod-' ney, both teachers of elocution, it seems, have been engaged to be mar- ried for three years when the play opens. Janet's mother keeps house for the two, an~d defines herself as the equilibrium in., an otherwise tem- peramental household. Geoffrey lives with the Rodneys, he explains, be- Oause if he is going to be fond of peo- ple he prefers to live 'under'the same roof as they. The roof begins to leak. however, when Claudia Kitts comesj to visit the family over the week end. Geoffrey invites one Edgar Fuller, who cau't take ' omen like him, to spend the same week end with the group, which leads to diff.culties, as Rodneys haveonly one guest room. Rodneys have only one - guest room. Thus it is possible for Geoffrey to sleep on the living room couch, and provide that very amusing: second act, played almost entirely if' pajamas. Anything that does not happ en to the household during that night is not worth telling about. Geoffretv and Janet break their engagemeA t, only to patch it up again in the finale,: Alvaro obregon HAYDEN FORECASTS THRILLINGELECTION Speaker Shows Tendency For United States To Vote Republican May Defeat Smith CONTRASTS'CANDIDATES "Not in my menory has there been a presidential election which has been as exciting and thrilling as the com- ing one promises to be," said Prof. Joseph R. Hayden in his lecture, "Some Political Results of Our Sys- tem of Presidential Election," deliver- ed in Natural Science auditorium yes-j terday afternoon. "Each party has put forth its best man and contrary to some other campaigns, both are well known to the nation." "The past achievements of the tw< candidates assure us that either will make a. good executive. The election is remarkable in that it is the firs' time both parties nominated their choice on the first ballot, and it is theC first time a Roman Catholic has run; for president. This is an evidence of1 increasing toleration. Smith is with out peer in' his ability to get aloi with his fellow politicians. In thi respect Hoover is an unknown quan- tity. "To be a successful president a man must ye a successful politician. Smith has undoubedly had more experience in politics that has Hoover. The Re p"blican leaders feel that Hoover ip- an outsider. Smith represents th' new aspect in this country. He is the son of an Irish immigrant aiC many of our new citizens feel that i is time that such a man was mad president." ,After thus contrasting impartiall' some of theucharacteristics of the tw andidates, Professor Hayden, 1b means of maps, gave a brief history of the results of some of the pa elections. He showed how Wilson, i 1912 garnered over 6 million popularf votes, while the Progressives and Rr publicans together had more than million. But in the electoral college Wilson had 435 votes to 96 for thr other two candidates. He gave this as an example of how the electoral college may work. State Conference Opens At Lansing EAST LANSING, July 17.-The first inter-city social conference and th tenth annual summer school for agri- cultural teachers were under way at Michigan State college today follow- ing registration Monday. The socia' conference will continue through Friday, while agricultural instruc- tors will remain here two weeks. Dr. Jesse T. Steiner of Tulane uni- versity will speak to social workers during the week. Miss Lucia Clow. superintendent of case work for the Family Welfare association of Mil- waukee, is another speaker. Estes P. Taylor, editor of Americant Farming, Chicago, is among the prom - inent speakers for the 150 agricultura teachers. Others include: J. A. Linke, federal farm board for vocational edu- cation; and Milton Grinnell, editor c' the Michigan Business Farmer. THE PRESIDENT SAYS:- "Of all the enterprises conducted by the students of the Univer- sity. the Fresh Air Camp is one. of the most highly to be com- mended. To take hundreds of under-privileged boys off the streets of Detroit and other cities of the state and give them a brief outing in association with ( chosen leaders from the Michi- gan student body, is a splendid j program which commands, I am sure, sympathy in every direc- tion." (Signed C. C. Little. I at all but Mrs. Ethel Brown, while Mrs. Rodney walks a million miles at I least bringing cups of coffee to the exhausted young people. She believes in coffee for everything. All of which gives little picture of Harry Wagstaff Gribble's farce. The piece has very properly been de- scribed as mad, but who cannot en- joy such madnes§ from time to time? The whole thing is wildly impossible and highly amusing, while the dia- logue simply scintillates from begin- ning to end. The Players caught the spirit of this farce perfectly last evening. The production was carried off with a smoothness, zest and speed that the troupe has attained in no other bill. Every member of the cast was ex- cellent. Robert Henderson yin the leading role of Geoffrey did by far his best work of the summer. This whimsical, half mad sort of a char- acter is the sort of thing Henderson does best. The enthusiasm that he carried to Geoffffrey last evening con- tributed much to the success of the production while his conception of this part that might easily have been made ridiculous was admirable. While we don't blame Janet for getting dis- gusted with Geoffrey, we understand also why everyone liked him. Elberta Trowbridge wasl equally good in the rather thankless role of Janet. Katherine Wick Kelly was of course perfect as Claudia Kitts. Her reading of the free verse poem was as funny as anything introduced dur- ing the performance. Roman Boh- nen made an excellent Fuller, and Marvel Garnsey a delightful Mother Rodney. r. SOVIET RESCUE CREW RESUMES ACTIVITIES (By Associated Press) MOSCOW, July 17.-With all refuge explorers and rescuers saved from the barren coast and icy waves around Spitzbergen, the Soviet resuce expedi- tion Is turning its attention toward the forlorn hope that six men carried away in the balloon portion of the dirigible Italia may be found alive. The Russian ice-breaker Krassin, the 10,000 ton vessel which last week rescued seven survivors of the Gen. Umbarto Nobile expedition, today was heading towards Advance Bay to re- fuel for the attempt to find trace of the twelve men whose fate is yet in doubt. OFFICIALS TO INSPECT DOUGLAS LAKE STATION Dean Edward H. Kriaus of the Sum- mer Session, Prof. G. Carl Huber, dean of the Graduate School and director of the anatomical laboratories, and Prof. R. W. Hogner, of the Zoology department, will leave tomorrow morning for an inspection trip of Camp Davis and the Biological atla- tion on Douglis lake. They will be there for a general assembly Friday night at which they will all speak to the students who are encamped for the summer. They will return to Ann Arbor Saturday. sion and University alumni in making up the total budget. The budget for this year, due to a larger number of boys being enter, tained at camp than during any pre- vious year, has been set at $8,000, according to Homer Grafton, general business manager of the camp. The second section of the camp which has an enrollment of 110 boys, is now in session. From this ses- sion the boys who will work for con- tributions today have been chosen c the basis of their qualities of leader- ship as displayed in camp activities. They arrived in Ann Arbor last nigh in company with Camp Director George Rich, 30L, and were enter- tained at the Michigan theater. They will return to camp after the cam- paigni today. Wieman Approves Plan Elton E. Wieman, varsity football coach and a member of the Camp committee, was a visitor at the camp Monday afternoon. Coach Wieman expressed great satisfaction over th; work that is being done in behalf of the under-privileged boys at the camp "This project," stated the coach, "is among the most worthwhile activi- ties that a student body of a univer- sity could carry on. I was tremen- dously impressed with the actual op erationi of the camp, and am con- vinced that its influence over the l >f the boys in camp is far-reachin I sincerely hope that the students h, Summer session will render their sup port to this undertaking in the Tag ,Day campaign today." Women Will Hold Bridge Tomorrow The Women's League will entertain the women students of the Summer Session at an informal bridge tea which will be held from 3:30 to 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon in the Women's Field house. Tables, clards, prizes, and refreshments will be fur- nished without charge by the League. Any women who wish to make up a table are requested to mgke reser- vations by phoning Marie Hartwig, '29, summer prekident of the league, 5480, or Margaret Babcock, '30, 6816, as soon as possible.
