Is to Be Free to Public; Held Under
Auspices of Menorah
Society
Elizabeth Gutman, the Baltimore
glum, sculptor, accused of having I soprano and master of the Jewish folk
sought to capitalize his friendship
with President Wilson by organizing
a private airplane plant, issued a,
formal statement yesterday denying
any connection with any airplane pro-
duction concern.
Government Resorts to Subterfuge
He further declared that the govern-
ment had resorted to every subterfuge
to delay the investigation of aircraft
production in which "a billion dollars
in 11 months has provided us with
no planes." Borglum stated further
that he had received information from
a confident of the President that "the
administration now possessed a club
that would put me out of business if I
did not quit."
"There is a graver question arisen,"
said Mr. Borglum, "Who is it thatis
so powerful, and where are they, that
make it impossible and dangerous to
the character and honor of inen who
dare to ask this question?"
Orders Are Being Held Up
In oral remarks supplementing his
typewritten statement, the sculptor
said that there were only two con-
cerns, the Wright-Martin and the Cur-
tis companies, prepared to make fly-
ing craft for America. These two com-
panies could have propuced 5,000 ma-
chines and the United States could
havesfrom3,000 to 4,000 in France for
the spring drive, he said, if they had
been permitted to go ahead with the
orders they had already received.
Red Cross to Launch New Campaign
The Red Cross committee of Wash-
tenaw county is about to launch a
new campaign May 21. Mr. H. W.
Douglas, chairman of the committee,
has announced that a large parade
will open the campaign officially.
Two days after this, every one will be
given the opportunity to subscribe
voluntarily. A house-to-house can-
vass will then be made.
There will be 200 Red Cross nurses
in the parade. Nine booths and 195
school districts, from all parts of the
county, will be represented. Ann Ar-
bor's quota is $13,000.
Prof. Schull Plans Crop Inspection
Prof. A. F." Schull, of the zoology
department, left yesterday morning
for Lansing to confer with the secre-
tary of the Michigan Crop associa-
tion regarding the work to be done
by it this sumer.
The association inspects the crops
intended for seed each year in order
to insure an adequate supply of the
more productive varieties of seed for
the next year,. "Such inspection is
of unusual importance now, in view
of the food situation," said Professor
Schull.' Professor Schull will return
Monday to meet his classes.
songs, appears at 8 o'clock tonight
in Sarah Caswell Angell hall, at a
concert given under the auspices of
the Menorah society.
First Presentation of Yiddish Songs
Miss Gutman is now on a tour of the
western universities in the interest of
the Menorah movement. Her appear-
ance in Ann Arbor marks the first
presentation of Yiddish and Russian
songs before a university audience.
Herself of American parentage, Miss
Gutman first became interested in this
music when Russian political refugees
began to flock to this country. She
has made a special study of the Russ-
ian language, and has made her work
original, unique, and enjoyable.
The program arranged for tonight's
concert contains a variety of songs
typical of ghetto life. Several of the
national songs present the Jew of the
nineteenth century, struggling for rec-
ognition and equality under the bur-
den of autocratic oppression. Most
of the songs reveal the religious spir-
it of the race.
has Appeared with Tolstoy
The first mark of distinction that
the singer has gained from the mus-
ical critics of this country came to
her when she appeared as on intepre-
tor of Russian music during the lec-
ture delivered by Count Ilya Tolstoy
in New York city on "The Russian
Revolution." Count Tolstoy suggest-
ed that that particular event would
be incomplete without the appeal of
some of his native music. The selec-
tion of Elizabeth Gutman as an Am-
erican soprano is therefore considered
as a recognition of her intense drain-
atic and musical ability.
Miss Gutman will be accompanied
by Dence Leedy at the piano. Ad-
mission to the concert is free and open
to the University and public.

GERMANS SAY U.S.
ARMY IS MUTINOUS
Washington, May 11.- A German
wireless message saying that grave in-
subordination is a daily occurrence in
American army training camps was
made public today by the state de-
partment, as an illustration of the
length to which the German govern-
ment is going in an an effort to keep
up the spirits of the civil population.
The message said: "According to
in formation from Christiania, Nor-
wegians recently arriving from Ameri-
ca says that grave cases of insubordi-
nation occur daily in American train-
ing camps. At first breaches of dis-
cipline were punished by daeth.
This was stopped because of the large
number of cases,"

JIU-JITSU AND FENCING
SUCCESSFUL OF FEA-
TURES
MOST
What was supposed to be " Night in
Japan" was transformed into a rather
modern musical event when the Cos-
mopolitan club concert was presented
at Sarah Caswell Angell hall last
night.
Except for the Japanese flute solo,
by M. Uyehara, of the School of Music,
and the demonstrations of jiu-jiutsu'
and fencing, by Bunzaburo Sashida,
'20, I. Nishimurd, and Dr. Watanabe
Uyehara, there was little strikingly
Japanese about the event, the first
part of the program was made up of
musical selections,
The "Koto" music featured for the
concert was arranged for the piano
and played by Mr. Albert Lockwood,
of the School of Music. Miss Ada
Grace Johnson sang "Beautiful Japan,"
and a selection from "Madam Butter-
fly." The part of the program listed
as "An Excursion Through Japan"
was made up of a series of slides
showing different. Japanese scenes
which were explained by Sotokichi
Katsuizumi, grad.
In- an address entitled "The Ex-
tent of Democracy in Japan," Katsui-
zumi told the audience that although
constitutionally there was little de-
mocracy in Japan, the movement for
democracy is gradually growing.
The audience seemed to be pleased
with the parts that especially presented
traits of Japanese life. The success of
the concert can particularly be at-
tributed to the demonstrations of jiu-
jiutsu and Japanese fencing.

Her Ann Arbor talk is entitled,

nrtmouth Campaigns for Freshmen
"Bring back a freshman next
ar" is a slogan with the undergradu-
es at Dartmouth. A campaign is
ing launched by the alumni council
that university this spring to urge
I undergraduate students who re-
rn next fall to bring a freshnan
th them and in that way insure a
11 quota for next year.
This movement was prompted also
r an appeal recently sent out by Pre-
lent Wilson which stated, "I would
,rticularly urge upon the young peo-
e who are leaving our high schools
at as many of them as can do so,
ail themselves this year of the op-
irtunities offered by the college and
cbnical schools to the end that the.
untry may not lack an adequate
pply of trained men."

The committee handling the Steere
water bonds has reported that the Ann
Arbor Savings bank has given the
highest bid for the entire issue. The
committee will arrange for and re-
commend the sale of bonds to that
bank. There are $200,000 of these
bonds issued for five years.
They are five per cent bonds, matur-
ing May 15, -1923. The bid from the
savings bank was a satisfactory one,
offering a bonus of $1,000; in addition
to two per cent interest on daily bal-
ances of the unused portion of the
money on deposit in that bank, with
the privilege of drawing on account
at any time.
Halsey Stuart & Co., of Chicago,
offered to take the bonds at par, if
the city 'would pay to that firm $1,000
from the general city funds, for the
expenses of printing the bonds, mark-
eting and attorney fees.
Women's League Mixer Draws Crowd
More than 300 students forgot the
library, the boulevard, and movies,
long enough yesterday afternoon to
attend in the all-campus mixer in Bar-
bour gymnasium. Even to passers-
by, who would have their way unim-
peded, the strains of Ike Fischer's or-
chestra floated out, and usually suc-
ceeded in enticing them in. At any
rate, the Women's league, under whose
auspices the dance was given, repor-
ted the proceeds as highly satisfac-
tory.
The chaperones for the occasion
were Mrs. Underwood, Mrs. Hessler,'
Mrs, Lewerenz, Miss Louise Potter,
and Miss Agnes Wells.
