INFORMAL RELATIONS M
BEGUN WITH LENINE
London, Jan. 12.-The British
government has decided to estab-
lish informal relations with Maxim
Litvinoff. who was appointed by
the Russian government as Bol-
sheviki representative in London.
This step, it is said, has been tak-
en with a view of obtaining in-
formation with regard to condi-
tions in Russia.
According to' a Russian stu-
dent in the University, the ap-
pointment of Litvinoff was clever-
ly brought about by Premier Leon.
Trotzky of the Bolsheviki govern-
ment in order to bring about the
former's release after an arrest in
London. The arrest was brought
about at a time when conditions'
were much strained between the
British and the Bolsheviki.

MORE ESSAYS WANTED
IN HISTORICAL CONTEST
Communication to President Hutchins
States Competition Will Stim-
ulate Thinking
Greater response of the part of
Michigan students in engaging in the
prize essay contest on "Why the Unit-
ed States is at War" is the desire of
George N. Fuller, secretary of the
Michigan historical commission, in a
recent communication to President
Harry B. Hutchins.
A number of students have already
submitted essays, but a larger number
is desired. The purpose of the contest
is more than the writing of an essay,
it concerns itself to stimulating think-
ing upon this mighty issue, and to
lead from thinking to action.
In the letter Mr. Fuller says: "These
young people, many of whom may be
called into action before the end of
the war, should be lead so as to real-
ize the terrible crisis that has been
reached in the world's affairs, that
they will tutn every ounce of energy,
through their studies and in other
ways, to the end of winning this war,
