mer today that anti-trust suits were

ment's drive on the high cost of liv-
ing took on another and .more impor-
tant phase.
At the same time the attorney gen-
eral ordered all district attorneys to

geston of Republican Leader Mondell

;o speak at 4 o'clock Friday after-
noon.
Palmer's Statement
Attorney General Palmer, announc-
ug the government's intention to pros-
cute the packers, said:
"The department of justice has
nade a careful review of the evidence
leveloped by the investigation into the
wombnation of packers, both by the
ederal trade commission and the hear-
ngs before the commnittees of con-
ress. This review has been made by
awyers specially retained for the
urpose and their reprt is now in
and. I am satisfied that the evi-
lence adduced indicates a clear viola-
ion of the anti-trust laws and prompt
lcton will be taken accordingly. Fur-
her proceedings, while under the im-
aediate direction of the department of
ustice, will be in charge of Isidor J.
Kresel, of New York, who will be giv-.
in such assistance as the case seems
o warrant."f
Criminal or Civil Suits
He declined to say whether criminal
ir civil suits would be instituted, but
aid the law made provision for both.
ae would not say in what jurisdic-
ion the, suits would be brought.
All district attorneys in the United
itates were ordered today by Attorney
leneral Palmer to proceed immedi-
tely in the prosecution of all per-
ons, guilty of hoarding food-stus and
o libel the foodstuffs for condemna-
Jon.
"This is the most important nusi-
tess before the country today," Mr.
falmer said. "I propose to have the
aw enforcement machinery of the
overnment sidetrack everything to
his job."

UNION CAFETERIA
OPENS THIS ?NOON
Formal opening of the Union cafe-
teria was made at noon today, when
a considerable number of University
men thronged to the basement for their
dinners. Everything was in readiness
for the reception of a hungry crowd,
as extensive preparations had been
made during the past few days.
Owing to the failure to complete
the piping of the soda bar, this part
pf the lunch room will not be opened
until a later date, probaly Saturday.
It was only with the greatest difficulty
that the cafeteria was finished by to-
day, and as it is, temporary tables and
chairs were used, because of the non-
arrival of the permanent furnishings.
A. Wycoff, steward of the Union, has
announced the following lunch hours
for the Summer session: Breakfast 7
to 9:30; lunch, 12 to 2; and dinner,
5 to 7:30 o'clock, although the soda
bar will probably be open from 10 to
9 o'clock. Service will be for men
only.
The management expects to supply
a variety of food of good quality at
reasonable prices. Mr. Wycoff stated
that he hoped to compete favorably
with any of the other eating estab-
lishments in the city, because of the
Union's unusual facilities for buying
and storing supplies.
U, S LEAGUE PLAN NOT
PRESSED AT VERSAILLES
LANSING TESTIFIES BEFORE SEN-
ATE AT FOREIGN RELATIONS
COMMITTEE
Washington, Aug. 6.-Testifying to-
day before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, Secretary Lansing
told the body that the American plan
for a League of Nations was "not
pressed" at Versailles and never was.
presented to the full peace conference.-
.In the course of the questioning,
Secretary Lansing told the commit-
tee that:
Japan's signature to the league
could have been obtained without in-
sertion of the Shantung clause in the
peace treaty; that, therefore, by in-
serting the clause the treaty lost.
China's signature unnecessarily.
Shantung provision was accepted
"by decision of President Wilson."
Shantung provision violates Presi-
dent Wilson's own principle of self-.
determination of nations.
President Wilson cabled Premier
'Clemenceau disapproving French sen-
hte's request for minutes of League
of Nations covenant discussion.
State department knew of Japan's
21 demands upon China when the
Lansing-Ishii agreement was made.
He personally opposes supplying
'senate with copy of .transcript of dis-
cussions of the league section of the
peace conference "on general princi-
pies."
Does not know whether there will
be any trial pf- the former kaiser.
President Wilson sfathered the An-
glo-French defensive treaty.
American plan for League of Na-
tions covenant never was submitted to
the full peace conferenec at Ver-
sailles.
The plan substituted for the Amer-
Ican was a "decided improvement."

Van Horn Supplies Special Costumes;
Proceeds to BeGiven to
Paris Union
With the arrival yesterday of cos-
tumes from Van Horn, Philadelphia,
everything is in readiness for the
Summer Spotlight show to be held at
8 o'clock tonight in Hill auditorium.
The costumes are of silks and sat-
ins, of the original minstrel styles,
and equal the creations worn by mem-
bers of the "Come On, Dad!" company
last winter. They are supplied by the
same firm.
Members of the east, and E. Mor-
timer Shuter, director, have done their
best to make the evening's entertain-
ment superior to anything else that
has ever been offered on the Michi-
gan campus during the summer.
Everybody has worked hard, and the
best performance of which the com-
pany is capable is assured.
, New Songs and Jokes .
What it is thought will be one of
the most appealing features of to-
night's program will be the new
songs and jokes that Mr. Shuter
brought with him from New York par-
ticularly for this entertainment. Sev-
eral of the songs have never before
been heard in Ain Arbor, being fea-
tures of the current productions on
Broadway.
Mr. Shuter personally wrote the
minstrel show which makes up the
first half of the program, using ma-
terials which he obtained in New
York. Practicay all of the actors
have appeared in previous Union pro-
ductions during the winter, and are
at home in their respective roles.
Campus Stars Obtained
For the vaudeville acts whichcom-
plete the evening the Union was able
to find several campus stars who have
had much previous experience. Among
these is the team of Emmerman and
Simons, campus favorites before the
war. The remainder of the talent is
considered on a par.
All of the money obtained above ex-
penses will go to pay the Union debt
to the American University Union in
Paris, in which the University of
Michigan has maintained a bureau.
The Union kept a hotel open for the
use of University men while in Paris,
and did much for them in the way of
furnishing home comforts. Tickets
cost 50 cents, and may be obtained at
the box office.

NEW APPOINTMENTS
MADE TO FACULTY
Dr. Bradley X. Davis Named l*rofessor
of Botany in Univer-
city
President Harry B. Hutchins will
continue as president of the Univer-
sity another year, it was announced
Wednesday afternoon following, the
meeting of the Board of Regents.
His resignation was accepted last
March 12, to take effect June 30. At
that time, no successor had been ap-
pointed by the Regents and Dr. Hutch-
ins was prevailed upon to act as pres-
ident until Aug. 6. The same situation
iersted Wednesday, and the Regents
persuaded him to consent to have the
date of his resignation moved up to
June. 30, 1920.
Dr. Hutchins assumed the office 10
years ago, when President Angell re-
tired. He stipulated at that time that
he would continue in office only five
years. In October, 1916, lie hanied Ia n
his resignation, but it was not accept-
ed by the Regents until last Marh.
Since March the Regents have been
considering men for the presidency,
but have not yet been able to reach
an agreement on a suitable man. They
will continue their search during the
coming year, with the expectation of
having a successor ready to step in
when President Hutchins' resignation
,takes effect next June.
Faculty Appointments
In addition to settling the matter of
the presidency for the next year, the
Regents made several appointments to
the faculty. The most important, prob-
ably is the addition of Dr. Bradley M.
Davis, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, as professor of botany. Pro-
fesor Davis is recognized as one of the
authorities in this field, and has con-
tributed .much literature on the sub-
ject.
Bruce M. Donaldson, of Detroit, was
made an instructor in fine arts, and
Dr. H. D. Learned, son of a professor
in the University of Pennsylvania, in-
structor in French. Clifford C. Glov-
er, instructor in pharmacy, was rais-
ed to an assistant professorship, and
made secretary of the pharmacy fac-
clty. Dr. C. S. Schoeffle, instructor 1#-
organic chemistry, also received a pro-
motion to an assistant professorship.
Leaves of Absence
Leaves of absence for one year were
granted Dr. E. T. Loeffler, of the den-
tal college, 0. W. Boston, of the engi-
neering college, and to Prof. R. D.
Hollister of the oratory departcent.
Approval was given the establish-
ment of training units in ordnance and
engineering, as a part of the Reserve
Officers Training Corps unit to be or-
ganized with the opening of the school
'year.
Public Health Nursing
The course in public health nursing
was continued for another year, the re-
sults obtained during the past semes-
ter having been such as to warrant
its continuance, in the opinon of the
board.
To stave off a possible ice shortage
during the summer at the University
hospitals, the Board ordered the Inr
mediate purchase of one of the re-
frigerating units, to be installed in
the new University hospital. It was
feared the situation might become
acute.
A prize of $75 will be awarded the
athelte who makes the best scholar-
ship record during. the next Univer-
sity year, as result of the receipt of
$75 from Frederick W. Keppel, third
secretary of war. The money was the
surplus over Mr. Keppel's expenses
in coming to Ann Arbor last June to
deliver'the Commencement address.
EMINENT BRITON OFFERED
EMBASSY IN UNITED STATES
London, Aug. 5.-Delay in the ap-
pointment of a British ambassador to
the United States was the subject of
a question in the house of commons
today. Andrew Bonar Law, the gov-
ernment spokesman, answering, said
the government felt that at this time
nothing could be more important for
othe future relationship of the whole
world than to get the best man pos-
sible for the post. Mr. Bonar Law
said that 'the post had been offered
-to a man whose acceptance would be
worth this delay. He hoped to an-
nounce the appointment soon.

125 U. S. SOLDIRRS
BLINDED IN WARt
"American soldiers blinded in the
war total only 125," said Dr. Walter S.
Parker, former colonel in charge of
the department of head surgery, Tues-
day in his illustrated lecture, "The
Care of the Wounded Soldier, with
Special Reference to the Blind and
Deaf." Of these only about 98 receiv-
ed their injuries in hattle, the re-
mainder being afflicted through other
causes.''
Dr. Parker showed that in this coun-
try there were only three places
properly equipped for giving the nec-
essary care to the blind soldiers,
which fact necessitated the govern-
ment's abandoning the policy of
sending the wounded to hospitals near
their homes, as it desired to afford the
best treatment to the men.
He also showed that the medical de-
partment of the army greatly increas-
ed during the war. Before the decla-
ration of hostilities there were only
432 medical officers in the army, but
this has since increased until at one
time there were 31,000 trained medi-
cal officers and a medical staff of some-
thing like 300,000 men.
