IN NAVAL CONFERENCE
UNITED STATES IWV L MEET
ENGLISH CRUISER NEEDS
IF POSSIBLE
BRITISH DENY REPORTS
Delegate Describes Dangerous Aspect
In Regard To Interseption
Of Food Supplies
(By Associated Press)
GENEVA, July 5.-A crucial stage
has been reached in the Tri-partite
naval conference. Whether events at
this critical turning point push the
pourparler toward the actual rupture
or toward an actual treaty undoubted-
ly depends chiefly on Great Britain.
The United States today, actuated,
it is said, by a conciliatory desire to
understand British cruiser needs and
meet them as far as possible, practi-t
cally told the naval delegates that it;
would go to the extreme maximum7
limit of 400,000 tons, which is 100,000
tons more than the maximum for
cruisers contained in the original
American proposal, but strongly in-
dicated simultaneously that that it
would exert continued effort to put
limitation well under 400,000 tons.
The sudden American initiative in-
duced W. C. Brideman, first lord of the
British admiralty, to receive the press
representatives tonight and to them
he vigorously denied reports that
Great Britain was animated by ag-
gressive design in asking for a large
number of small cruisers. He describ-
ed Great Britain as a country in con-
stant danger of interception of food
supplies and remarked that during the
war 70 .cruisers were occupied in
chasing the German raider Andem,
with 29 at her heels one time, before
she was "run to earth."
Mr. Bridgeman's answer to one
question confirmed the impression
that the conference now is actually on
the border of a precipice. The ques-
tion was: "Do you consider the
chances fo rthe success of the con-
ference better now-than on the first
day?"
ABLE PERFORMANCE IS NOTABLE
IN LAST NIGHT OF "HAY FEVER"
A Review, by Philip C. Brooks
Perhaps the critic wasn't "sitting
forward expectant," as those did who
reviewed Judith Bliss' plays, but cer-
tainly he was most intensely amused
by "Hay Fever," and decidedly im-
pressed by the able presentation given
the piece by the Rockford Players.
Between charming Helen Hughes, the
"vigorous ingenue of 19," delightful-
ly natural in interpretation, and Elsie
Herndon Kearns, as "an extremely
nice woman-more or less," in com-
pany with a cast who seemed almost
without exception to fit their roles
admirably, one could not help but
like the performance.
From the development of the situa-
tion 'at the start, rather slow but still
interesting, to the crashing of the
plate and Miss Kearns' stupendous
declaration at the end, excessive
laughter was the only thing that
threatened to tire the audience. The
play is attractive not for depth of
plot but for remarkably clever lines,
developing situations which while for
the most part quite obvious, are unique
and extremely funny. " It gave the
Players opportunity to do their work
Designer Of Planes
with freedom, not having to fear over-
playing, for the whole thing is so rol-
licking and hilarious that "anything
goes"-tempered of course by the dis-
cretion for which the group is not-
able.
Amy Loomis, whether majestic as
Great Catherine or serenely unso-
phisticated as Jackie Coryton, demon-
strates a refinement of interpretation,
a finesse, which places her above all,
except for Miss Kearns, who profits
by more experience. The latter show-
ed in 'Hay Fever" her characterictic
precision of tone and expression,
making her work convincing to the
utmost.
Helen Hughes, playing her first role
at Michigan, lived up to all the exces-
sive praise her previous notices gave
her. Besides being attractive, she ap-
peared as a competent and able act-
ress. Frances Horine, in a part which
fitted her neatly, performed with an
excellence which should appease
those who did not like her in "The
Butter and Egg Man."1
Having taken the ladies first, Robert1
Wetzel has established himself as
completely up to the standard of the
Players, which is an achievement.
Samuel Bonnell keeps him companyl
in that achievement. Both took every1
opportunity to get the best out of1
their parts-full of opportunities as
they were.,
Paul Faust (the order of excellence
being forgotten by now) is indeed af
credit to the company. He shows ane
ability to- make himself "in part" ii
roles which are diversified and quite
unlike his apparent ordinary charac-
ter. Hailed as a promising youngx
actor from the Haresfoot Club, he hasa
made himself known as a finished per- t
former of high merit.s
And Robert Henderson played Si-c
mon Bliss with his usual ability,c
thoroughly expressive and impressive.
The role was well suited to his abili- b
ty, and while it was not his best, he I
showed his earnestness by playing itv
to the full-a very attractive presenta-e
tion. i
Mrs. Mansfield, while it is difficult
to conceal a lack of experience withA
the company, fit into the atmosphere
of the piece well, doing her work
smoothly and convincingly.
Tomorrow night the Players will .
open their third play, "Gammer Gur-t
ton's Needle," the old English com-
edy, with several novelties of presen-
tation and introducting a new mem-
ber of the company, Charles Edge-n
comb of the Provincetown Playhouseo
in New York. .This work will be giveno
four times, the Friday evening per-
formance being changed to a 3:302
matinee on account of the Senate Re-1
ception in the evening.f

RECEPTIONS FILL
TIME OF ATLANTIC
FLYERS IN PARIS
t(By Associated Press)
PARIS, July 5.-The American avia-
tors who flew across the Atlantic in
the Columbia and America had an-
other busy day of receptions from
breakfast until dinner in the even-
ing and then they were allowed the1
night hours to do with as they pleas-
ed. 'Some of them decided to get a
well earned rest, while the others
dined privately with friends or at-
tended the tourist trek to Montmartre.
Commander Byrd again was the
center of interest in all the public
appearances the airmen made. With
his gracious way and words he has
captivated the hearts of the French,
as well as their admiration-just as
Lindbergh did before him.

FRESHMEN NOT INCLUDED
Information And Registration Blanks
To Be Filled 'Out And Returned
Before School Begins
Until this year only the seniors have
been informed of their correct stand-
ing in the University, including the
number of hours credit they have and
the courses still required for gradu-
ation.
Beginning with this summer during
the last week of August, letters will
be sent to all sophomores, junior, and
seniors of the coming year, stating
the hours credit received and the
hours required in the various groups
for their graduation. Instructions
and registration cards will also be
sent out. The information blanks and'
registration cards are to be filled out
by the students and sent in to the
University before the beginning of the
first semester. The fees will be
stamped on the cards before they
are sent; this will enable all the stu-
dents, with the exception of incoming
freshmen, to go direct to the treasur-
er's office for the payment of their
fees.
The new plan will eliminate the
coming in of students to seek infor-
oation in regard to their standing
and the number of hours still needed
to fill the required groups. The
sophomores, juniors, and seniors will
continue on with the old system of
classification.
By this new arrangement it is hoped
y the University officials and especial-
ly by the Recorder's office to do away
with the waste of time and long hours
of waiting that have been undergone
n previous years.

TILDEN DEFEATED AGAIN
(By Associated Press)
WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 5.-The
1927 Wimbledon tournament closed
today in a blaze of glory for the
United States with four of the five
championships in the hands of Ame-
rican players.
The lone crown that was missing-
the coveted men's singles - was
perched on the brow of little Henri
Cochet, the French ace, who elimi-
nated William T. Tilden in the semi-
finals on his way to his ultimate vic-
tory.
With the women's singles, won by
Helen Wills, and the men's doubles,
won by Tilden andtFrancis T. Hunter,
already captured, the American play-
ers went into the last day's play with
the women's doubles and the mixed
doubles championships as their goal.
Elizabeth Ryan of California was
the bright American star in today's
play. Paired with Miss Wills, she
won the women's doubles from the
South African, Miss "Bobbie" Heime
and Mrs. J. Peacock, and then return-
ed to the court after a few minutes
rest and with Hunter raced through
the semi-finals of the mixed doubles,
winning from another South African
team, Louis Raymond and the same
little "Bobbie" Heime.
Later, as the curtain was about to
be run down over Wimbledon of 1927,
she appeared again with Hunter
against L. A. Godfrey and Mrs. Katie
McCain Godfred to win the mixed
doubles title after a stubbornly fought
battle in the first set. The display of
fortitude and stamina given by the
California girl in her three appear-
ances aroused the keenest admiration
from the spectators.

concession consumed the boardwalk
from Missouri to Arkansas avenues.
Debries scattered from the beach when
the flames reached an exhibition of
the Remington Arms company, at Col-
umbia place at Boardwalk, where 20,-
000 rounds of ammunition were stor-
ed.
Eight hotels and rooming houses
sent vacationists scurrying to the
street. Most of them were on the
beach at the time, however.
Just before the Remington Arms
exhibition went down in flames, a
loud rat-tat-tat started up and con-
tinued but no one was hurt by the
bursting shells.
As a preliminary to the University
I excursion to Niagara Falls which
leaves Ann Arbor next Friday Dr.
Kirtley F. Mather, chairman of the
committee on Geology o Harvard
University and professor in the De-
partment of Geology this summer,
litesented, in the Natural Science
anuditorium yesterday afternoon an
illustrated lecture on the history and
development of Niagara Falls.
Dr. Mather first spoke of the
beauty and gradeur of the Falls and
the first pictures that he showed were
j a review of the Niagara river as it
left Lake Erie, swept through the
rapids, over the falls, down the gorge,
(and finally reached the Lewiston abut-
ment. He then referred to the geo-
logical changes which the pheno-
menon represents and to the fact
that while the Horseshoe falls are
wearing away at the rate of five or
six feet a year the American falls
show little change.
At the beginning of his lecture Dr.
Mather announced that the tickets for
the boat and rail portion of the trip
could be procured between the hours
of one-thirty and four-thirty, Thurs-
day afternoon, in Room 8, University
hall. Also that if anyone who is in-
Stending to go and has not registered
as yet that he could do this by simply
writing his name upon a slip of paper
and dropping it in the box outside
the lecturer's office in the Natural
Science building.

PHILIPPINE STUDENTS ENGAGE
IN NATIVE PASTIME OF 'SIPA'
Demonstrating a dexterity in kick-
ing that would be the envy of many
football players, a group of Philip-
pine students have been engaging re-
cently in a native game, "Sipa," which
they have played near Morris hall
and in front of Angell hall. The game
consists of kicking a ball, about the
size of an indoor baseball, made of
interwoven rattan, about between
several players formed in a circle.
One of the most common though
apparently most difficult methods of
kicking is to let the ball come down
behind one's back, and then kick it
back over his head with the heel, mak-
ing it go straight out forward into
the circle. A player may kick with
his heel, toe, or the side of his foot.
At times the ball goes twenty or
thirty feet into the air, and a group
of players can keep it in the air kick-
ing it often thirty or forty times with-
out letting it touch the ground.
As the game is played in the Philip-
pines, those who miss a kick are
eliminated from the play. It is said
that the old custom of the natives was
to whip those who could not stay in
the game under this system. The of-
ficial "Sipa" ball is solid, of inter-
woven rattan, while that used by the
players on the campus here is hollow.)
and quite light.
The students who engage in this
game are all members of the Philip-
pine-Michigan club, an organization
of a large number of students from
the islands, under the direction of
Prof. J. R. Hayden, of the political
science department, who was for a
year exchange professor in the Uni-
versity of the Philippines. He is con-
ducting a round table on the islands
at the Institute of Politics at Williams
college this summer.
-Thinks that tomorrow it will prob-
ably be cloudy and warmer.
