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.

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. A. A.

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. EN FRASER TO SPEAK IN CIENCE AUDITORIUM MAY 201 Helen Fraser, author of "Women .d War," will speak at 8:15 Monday, ay 20, in the auditorium of the Natur- Science building.

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." ?rof.

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.
