HOPEFUL OF ADJUSTMENT Declares Criticisms of League Coven- ant Neutralize One Another Washington, July 25. - President Wilson today promised to give earn- est consideration to five proposed res- ervations to the peace treaty and League of Nations covenant which were presented him by Senator Spen- cer, Republican, Missouri. The sen- ator told the president the reservations would have to be agreed upon if the treaty was to, be ratified in the sen- ate. One of the proposed reservations would provide that the Shantung set- tlement be reconsidered and read- justed at the earliest time possible and another would express regret at the settlement. Slantung Matter President Wilson told Senator Spen- cer he firmly believed the Shantung matter would be adjusted quickly and that action taken today by the state department would result in a general clarification of the subject within the next two or three days. Senator Spen- cer refused to disclose what action was being taken by the department,: saying he considered this part of the cOnversation with President Wilson confidential. The president told Senator Spencer he felt he should he congratulated for what he did to secure a modification of Japan's original demands with re- gard to Shantung. Other of the reservations proposed by Senator Spencer had to do with the Monroe doctrine; domestic poli- cies, such as immigration; the right of congress to determine "future ac- tion of a warlike character;" and the right of the United States to with- draw from the League of Nations with- out conditions. President's Views Senator Spencer said the president told him he felt that objections and suggested reservations coming from various quarters would not harm the fundamental principles of the League of Nations, because with the doors open so mapy criticisms would develop that they would tend to neutralize each other. Senator Spencer laid before the sen- ate today what he said was an official copy of China's plea at the Ver- sailles conference against the Shan- tung settlement. 1 The petition declares Japan's prom- ise to return Kiao Chau at some future' date is "illusory" in that it gives no pledge to return also the surrounding territory dominatingKiao Chau. It is recited that the treaties resulting in Japan's claims to Kiao Chau, which; followed the famous 21 demands of 1915, were made under "intimidation" and that Japan's real aim in entering, the -war against Germany was to (Continued on Page Four) Zinita Graf, leading lady with the Devereux Players, appearing today as Lady Teazle and as Juliet.

The appearance of the Devereux players this afternoon and evening in University hall promises to be the most pleasing entertainment offered during the Summer session. The aft-; ernoon performance, starting at 3:30 o'clock, will be Sheridan's "The School for Scandal," and at 8 o'clock in the evening Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet' will be given. "The School for Scandal" is con- sidered one of the finest comedies in the English language, although it was first produced nearly 250 yeats. ago. In brilliance of dialogue and in soundness in construction of plot, the comedy holds its own with any writ- ten in modern times, and hardly a theatrical season passes but sees some revival of it. It is an example of Eng- lish comedy at its best. Story of Brilliant Society Into the atmosphere of the brilliant society of eighteenth century London, where scandal-mongering was the chief occupation of the beaus and belles and their attendant wits, Sheri- dan has projected the story of Sir PeterhTeazle and his charming young wife. The lady findsuthis atmosphere1 much to her liking until she herself falls a victim to the scandal-mongers. Her flirtation with Joseph Surface, the polished hypocrite, leads up to the famous "screen" scene, one of the most effective and dramatic climaxes 3 known to the drama. "Romeo and Juliet," Shakespeare's .most charming love story, is too well known to be retold. The famous Ital- ian legend has been played by innu- merable actors and actresses, and tot name them would be to name the fore- most players of all time. Players Attract Attentiont The Devereux players promise a worthy presentation ofboth these plays, as the company has attracted' wide attention wherever it has ap- peared. The performances today are looked forward to with a great deal of anticipation by local people. If the former successes of the players are] repeated here, which does not seem unlikely by all reports, it is probable; that arrangements will be made to1 have them appear again next summer.c Miss Zinita Graf, who heads thet (Continued on Page Four) t In order to select enough men to make up a University Rifle team for participation in the na- tional matches to be held at Cald. well, N. J., Aug. 1h to 30, tryouts will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wed. nesday afternoon at the state rifle range south of the city. An ad- mission fee of $1.00 will be charg- ed, all proceeds from this source to go toward the defraying of the team's expenses to the national meet. Prof. C. E. Wilson will supervise the tryouts. Between now and Aug. 16 students and faculty of the Summer session and citizens of Ann Arbor will have an opportunity to receive expert in- struction in shooting the United States army rifle. A group of faculty men and students who during the war built and operated the famous chain of navy rifle ranges have secured 10 Springfield rifles and a supply of am- munition. Several of them will be on hand at the state range south of town every Saturday afternoon for the rest of the session and will give all comers the same course of instruction that has made the marine corps and the. navy the straightest shooting mili- tary organizations in the world. Their purpose is to arouse interest and enthusiasm in the shooting game at Michigan to the end of developing a winning rifle team before next year's national matches. The only charge will be a nominal one for am- munition, merely enough to pay the express charges on the shipment which was made from New York. As- sociated with the navy men will be Prof. C. E. Wilson of the engineering department, captain of the Michigan civilian rifle team which will compete at the matches at Caldwell, N. J., next month. A number' of vacancies on this team still exist, and it is hoped that they may be filled with Univer- sity men. The first shoot will be held this af- ternoon. The range may be reached by pedestrians by walking out on the Ann Arbor railway tracks about half a mile south of Ferry field, from which point it may readily be seen about 200 yards east of the right of way. By automobile it is advisable to drive out Packard to Hutzel farm on this side of the stone school house, turn to the right, down the lane, and proceed about a half mile, and then cross the fields to the range. Prof. J. R. Hayden, of the depart- ment of political science, George W. Gilmore, and Walter M. Simpson, stu- dents in the literary department, all of whom were in command of navy ranges during the war, will supervise the practice, -and they will be assisted by a number of other experts who are enthusiasts for the navy rifle range idea. Everyone who wants to learn to shoot is invited to come, as are any old hands who wish to resume the sport. Old clothes or overalls should be worn.

Yesterday a plane owned by the Universal Aviation Company landed in a hay field just outside of Ann Ar- bor on the Whitmore Lake road and hung out its shingle for bginess. Two customers were taken for their $15 worth of thrills before the plane left. An attempt was made through the Athletic association to secure Ferry field for the use of the planes but the company was referred to Regent Cle- ments of Bay City, who is chairman of the buildings and grounds committee of the Board of Regents. The Universal Aviation company was organized by a number of former service aviators in Detroit where, for some time, they have been taking citi- zens on short flights.

DIRECTORY TO GO ON SALE TODAY The 1919 Summer school directory will be ready for distribution about noon today at The Wolverine office in the Press building, Maynard street. Subscribers of the paper will receive the directory free of charge by pre- senting the cards attached to their subscription receipts. To non-subscribers the directory will be sold for 35 cents, and may be secured at The Wolverine office, Wahr's, Graham's, Slater's, or the Students' Supply store. The directory has been delayed somewhat this year because of the desire of the editors to have it include the names and addresses of late reg- istrants. Its completeness, however, is considered to offset any inconve- niences caused by the delay in its is- suance. "Schools can not run without mo money and the people are supplyin to their utmost ability in taxes at tb present time," said Dr. C. E. Chadse dean-elect of the school of educatio of the University of Illinois, yeste day in his lecture, "The School an the Community." "Consequently, it Is up to the scho people to face this difficulty and se if there are any unnecessary expend tures, which I do not believe is so continued Dr. Chadsey. "If this true, then expenditures for schoo must increase in the future, as it wi be necessary to expand and to r organize. To secure the money fo this expansion taxation must rea: wealth which at the present time not touched." The speaker then expressed tl view that the foreigners should i reached and Americanized, and tha this was possible only through t night schools. Due to the failure night schools, especially in Detroit, t teach any more than the mere rud ments of English to the foreigner Dr. Chadsey said that it was up to tU government to pass laws which wou: force the Americanization of the in migrants, as the failure of the nigh (Continued from Page-:One) schools was traceable tohe disinte est of the foreigners. What Foreigner Should Learn "The foreigner should learn Eng lish not to know it superficially, whie satisfies 9 out of 10 of them becaus it is sufficient to hold their jobs," sai Dr. Chadsey, "but they should be fore ed into learning and understanding the fundamentals of American govern ment as well as the language in orde that they may appreciate this country It is the fault of the immigrants ai not the fault of the night schools thi they failed," said Dr. Chadsey. He then explained how this broad ening of education for the foreigner would greatly increase the mone necessary to the . upkeep of tt schools. Dr. Chadsey expressed ti belief that night schools should h available, to everybody in order tha the standards of the individual mfgh be raised. School Expansion He showed how recently expansic had taken place in the number an kinds of schools, such as schools fo the sick and for the mentally deficien which cost several times as much upkeep as ordinary schools. It is t enable all these things to grow, tha Dr. Chadsey urged that careful Ii vestigation be made concerning tU amount of money available for tI schools by taxes. Dr. Chadsey said that it was th duty of the public to support th schools by taxes, and thus to enab everyone to secure a good educatio (Continued on Page Four) PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IHuron and Division Streets 10:30 A.
