VIII, No. 11 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS _ DECLARATION r JAPAN FOR ALL POSBECUT IN, CRUISERS SURPRISE ATTITUDE OF NIPPON AROUSES NEW DISCUSSION AMONG NAVAL DELEGATE'S SAITO STATES HIS STAND Demand Of British For 70-Odd Cruls- ers Of Different Sizes Causes Protest Of Admiral (By Associated Press) Geneva, Switzerland, July 7.-Ja- pan's declaration that she is for all possible limitation of tonnage in the cruiser class of warships, thereby tak- ing even a stronger stand than the Americans, who had offered to raise the maximum tonnage to 400,000 tons in order to appease Great Britain, was the dominant topic of discussion today among delegates to the three-power naval limitation conference. The fact that the technical experts were called for discussion today was taken as indicating that the Japanese announcement, while staggering Brit- ish hopes, had cleared the atmosphere enough to permit reapproaching the cruiser problem from another angle. The British demand for 70-odd cruisers of assorted sizes, with- the chances that their combined tonnage would be nearer 600,000'tons than 300,- 000, caused the Japanese to come out in the open with a protest. Salto Announces Stand Admiral Saito, their spokesman, an- nounced the Japanese stand at a tea Wednesday night, to which all the' plenipotentiaries were invited. He contended that the interests of the world would best be served by adher- ence to the original minimum cruiser tonnage figures of the United States of 250,000 tons. If we went back with a treaty pro- .viding merely for revision upward, in-' stead of real limitation," one facetious son of Nippon remarked, "we would *not dare land' in." Japan. We would have to go to Korea, where Admiral Saito Is Governor, and get him to pro- tect us. W. C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty, said the figures mentioned by Admiral Saito were im- possible as a basis of discussion. From all that has been said bf the British to back up their contention that a large fleet of small cruisers was needed by Great Britain because of the far-flung nature of the empire, the in- dications, are that they will not recede from their stand.

MICHIGAN. TEAMS HELP; BREAK IO0A ECODS Biggest Crowds In haweye History Recorded For Contests Of Last Sport Year WOLVERINESGOT CROWDS IOWA CITY, July 7.-Watching the, teams in action, more spectators at- tended the home contests of 1926-27 in six University of Iowa sports thani ever before in Hawkeye athletic his- tory, a summery compiled by Ken- neth E. Griffin, manager of ticket sales, reveals. The total attendance at Iowa City contests was 112,418, the figures being for football, basketball, baseball, track, wrestling, and swimming. In 1925-26, the number was 108,288. I Iicigan Teams Gets Crowds l Records were set by the number of - people who saw basketball, baseball, wrestling and swimming contests. The Michigan basketball game drew 5,4041 fans to the new field house, shattering the record of 4,533 set by the Ohio State game in 1926. When the Hawkeye baseball team cinched a tie for the championshipt by beating Minnesota in the final home game, 2,841 people saw the triumph. The Gopher team attracted 2,648 the year before, which was the record. Wolverine Cagers Top Others I Minnesota, Illinois and Michigan teams were the best drawing-cards, the records show. Minnesota led in football, track and baseball; Illinois attracted the largest attendance -in wrestling and swimming; while Michi- gan topped nine other basketball teams. These are the total home attendance figures for each sport: Football, 42,-l 956; basketball, 39,110; baseball, 14,- 149; wrestling, 4,289; track, 3,642; and swimming, 3,141. POSSIBILITIES FOR FOOTBALL COMING SEASON ARE GOOD Coach Fielding H. Yost, in an in- terview given to The Daily yesterday, stated that the prospects for next, year's football team are fairly good although it is still too early to make any definite statement, and whether the team will be of championship cali- bre or not only time will tell. There is a sufficient number of last year's Varsity men returning to form the nucleus for next year's team. In addition, there is a number of men1 who showed ability on last year's_ freshmen squad who will be eligible for Varsity next fall. The following are the names of the men who have had previous experience and who will return for the next season: Capt. Oosterbaan, Gilbert, Baer, Gabel, Babcock, Puckelwartz, Miller, Domhoff, Grinnel, Palmeroli, Squier, Heston, Hoffman, Truskowski, Schoenfeld, Rich, Greenwald, Thisted, Nyland, ,Harrigan, Meese, Nicholson, Cook, and Fuller.

Unique Presentation Marks Opening Night Of "Gammer Gurton's Needle" # A Review, by Marian L. Welles A "vacillating" donkey that bent a ! was carefully worked out, the inter- DREW IS FATALLY n ILL IN CALIFORNIA {:CANBE'UTILIZED1FOR RERFTONPROE bit precariously in the middle led the procession in "Gammer Gurton's Needle," given its first performance by Rockford Players last night. Then followed a bevy of shouts and cries surrounding two coquettish flower- girls intermingled with the loutish Hodge and the Puck-like Diccon, the curate, Cock and the rest. It was a jolly crowd, a gay fest of merriment and fun. The success of the opening parade marked the first obstacle over- come: the audience responding readi- ly so that the whole auditorium, fdr the moment transformed into the town commons, was one infeeling; the ob- ject of the evening being, from that time on, to enjoy every earthy pun and seedy bit of wit that so amused the peasant audience of the fourteenth century,. There were a few other moments near the beginning which might have dragged but the opportune appear- ance of a really good fight between the two old women saved the produc- tion from that possibility for good and all. From then on, the players and the play scampered and pranced along until the lost needle was found in the most unusual place of all. Every act of that incorrigible liar and mischief maker, Diccon, added to the complications and finally even Doctor Rat, Master Bailey, Doll and every- body were drawn into the conflict. A Credible Revival But the play, being among the old- est in the language does not need de- lineation-it must have been a de- lightful thing in the fourteenth cen- tury! There was a danger that the wit might be too crude for the sophis- tication of a modern audience-but that was averted also by the opening parade. It was all in the spirit of the occasion. In fact, it seemed as though the Rockford Players sur- mounted most of the difficulties in the way of presenting a fourteenth cen- tury play some six hundred years af- ter its first production. The detail FALLS EXCURSION LEAVING TODAY; DANCE ON BOAT Announcement was made late yes- terday by Prof. Kirtley F. Mather, of the geology department and conductor of the Niagara Falls excursion, that 43 students had registered for the trip which starts this afternoon, and that there was room for four more. Any persons who still desire to make the tip can do so by arranging with Pro fessor Mather this morning or early this afternoon. Furthertentertainment has been pro- vided for the excursionists. Prof. Ma- ther stated that there would be danc- ing from 9:30 to 11 o'clock on the boat. He also said that the party was not so large and those who were going wold have ample opportunity to visit the points of interest, more so than if the party were larger. - TOTAL REGISTERED IN LIBRARY COURSE IS NOW EIGHTY ONE According to announcement made by Francis L. Goodrich, associate libra- rian, the total enrollment in the de- partment of library science has reach- ed the number of 81 students. Thir- teen of the students are graduates, 34 are seniors in library science and the remaining 34 are taking the ele- mentary courses. The total enrollment in this depart- ment is not as large as it was last Summer session; however, the decline can be explained by the fact that last year the same courses were taught in the regular session for the first time. Last year the new arrangement was inauguraated with notable suc- cess, such as including subjects of library science in the regular school year. The faculty members of the department are very well satisfied with the new plan and express their satisfaction in seeing the enrollment as large as it is this summer. LOS ANGELES.-Florence Reed, star of "The Shanghai Gesture," is suffering here from a nervous break-' down. Her condition is said to have followed an absecessed condition of the throat, She collapsed Sunday night. ludes were especially charming. A credible revival. An old school play, interspersed with songs and dances by the actors themselves, depends so much upon the individual talents of the actors that any comment on the play would be incomplete without recognition of the special abilities of Amy Loomis, Helen Hughes and Smuel Bonnell as, shall we say, "old English singers?" And the following interlude of danc- ing especially featuring Paul Faust was a happy episode in the whole hap- py evening. Diccon, too, deserves a paragraph by himself, for his gay interpretation of an age-old part. He fairly breath- ed petty, malicious intrigue. Interesting Experiment Believeing the scientific method of direct description to be the fost ac- curate in criticism as well as in bio- logy, the foregoing account of the ac- tual appearance of the parade and the general atmosphere surrounding the players and their puppets and their audience, is enough to show that the attempt at an interesting experiment in revival was successful. It cannot be compared with other plays, be- cause it is an innovation in their repertoire, but it can be said at least, that the Players have added an un- usual piece and an original bit of work to that repertoire.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Adminis- trative control of the Philippine is- lands is to remain with the war de- partment, rather than be transferred to the interior department in the opinion of Governor-general Wood, here on leave. The general expressed this view af- ter a conference with Secretary Davis and Maj.-Gen. Frank McIntrye, chief of the bureau of insular affairs. Transfer of the islands to the interior department has the endorsement of President Coolidge. GENEVA, July 7.-Chu Chao-hfin, who has been representing the Ieking government on the council of the League of Nations, today informed Sir Eric Drummond, the secretary-general, that he intended to return to China and to become politically a free-lance. Inasmuch as the League deals of- ficially only with the Peking govern- ment, the council will be obliged to accept whomsoever the Peking gov- ernment should appoint in Chu's stead. Chu's abandonment of his post has created a considerable stir in League circles since his action leaves China without a representative on the coun- cil to which it was given a seat at the last session of the League as- sembly.

PROFESSOI i',IIIRRY S P EA K OF DECINE "IN (CHIEF STj1l F ~ IN DlSTIIES STRESSES REFORESTATION Inportmaint ?esealices IIave ee Made By Land Economic S-uey Of State Conservation Devoting the idle lands of Michi- gan to recreational purposes is the most practical method of utilizing them, acording to Professor K. C. Mc- Murry of the geography departmeit, who lectured on "The Idle Lands of Michigan" yesterday afternoon in Natural Science auditorium. 'Phis idle land, therefore, may conie to be looked upon as a very valuable asset," continued the professor. Agricnlture, Lumbering decline Professor McMurry proceeded, by means of slides, to explain to the au- dience that the northeyn portion of the state is only in a slight degree adapted to the raising of staple crops. Also, that in the past Michigan has had two natural industries, agricul- ture and lumbering. Lumbering has practically ceased and agriculture has shown little 'growth since 1910. Since agriculture is limited to the lower part of the state the disposition of this upper part is the important prob- lem. The northern section possesses many abandoned farms, and many more carelessly cut forests. Professor McMurry concluded in saying the the Land Economic Su - rey of the Department of Conserva- tion of the State has made important researches into this problem and has found three solutions. The first is, that the region which was formerly devoted to hardwood forests shduld become agricultural, since land which will raise hardwood trees is usually suitable for most farming. Recreation Is Third Incdhstry Second, reforestration and lnber- ing activities should be encouraged. That is, that if fire protection be en forced and if the different substitutes and synthetic processes for produc- ing cellulose continue, the forests will be allowed to grow and, therefore, in a reasonable length of time rational lumbering activities can again he commenced. Third, Northern Michi- gan should be encouraged as a land of recreation. It has been estimated by the Western Michigan Tourist Bu- reau that $200,000,000 was expended last year in northern Michigan by tourists, and that in the industries of Michigan, automobiles come first, agriculture second, and recreation third. This latter as has been men- tioned, is the most practal way of disposing of the 10,000,000 acres 01 idle land in Michigan.
