DIstlngnished Landscape Designer
Show Illustrations of
Own Work

to

Mr. Thomas H. Mawson, the dis-
tin guislied English landscape designer,
will give an illustrated lecture under
the auspices of the department of
land scape design in Memorial hall at
8 o'clock tomorrow evening. The title
of the lecture is "The Making of a
Home, or the Unity of House and
Garden," and it will be illustrated in
part by examples of the lecturer's own
work.
Mr. Mawson is undoubtedly the most
prominent member of his profession in
England. Included in his'"most re-
cent work is a town plan for Athens.
This town planning scheme will make
of the Greek capital one of the great
world centers, not only for beauty,
but for commercial prosperity and so-
cial amenity. The value of her archi-
tectural remains will be greatly en-
hanced by removing modern slums
and the creation of suitable and har-
monious surroundings for the ruins.
Modern facilities, such as the trans-
continental railway, will be provided
without interference with their aesthe-
tic and sentimental value.
Admission to the lecture tomorrow
evening will be free and it is hoped
that it will make a wide appeal both
in the University and in the city nmong
all those who are interested in the
making of beautiful homes.

ANNUALUNION SHOW TO'
BE1REUiVEDTHIS YEAR
"Spotlight Vandeville" to Be Given
Tuesday; Free to Union
Members
On Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, the
annual Union "spotlight vaudeville"
will be revived. Last year the com-
mittee on student affairs ruled this
entertainrnent out owing to the great
number of campus functions scheduled
to take place. With the elimination of:
several of these this year, the oppor-
tunity was again given the Union to
present its show.
No admission will be charged Union
members or life members. To others
the customary 25 cent fee will be as-
sessed. Donald Smith, '17E, is gen-
eral chairman for the entertainment,l
and Morrison C. Wood, '17, is program
director. The salient feature of the
entertainment will be an old fashioned
minstrel show with prominent campus
singers and comedians in the leading
roles. Union officials hint at the prob-
ability of making this performance a
stepping stone to the annual opera
which takes place during March.
All men interested in either the min-
strel or the vaudeville parts of the
production are urged to see Donald
Smith, '17E, at the Union between 3
and 5 o'clock this afternoon.

El Paso, Nov. 14.-A fohmal re-
quest for the release of Benjamin
Brahn, one of General Pershing's
scouts now held in jail at Juarez

learned definitely here late this

El Paso, Nov. 14.-Active prepara-.
tions for a new campaign against Vil-

and central forces in the state of Chi-
huahua, while several thousand de

town by Villistas, United States au-
thorities today admitted they had no

tional Idea Among Mankind." This
is one of the 30 lectures that Mr.
Tagore is delivering throughout the
United States. He has been touring
the country since Oct. 12, coming here
by way of Japan where he delivered a
series of addresses.
Mr. Tagore has already spoken at
Seattle, Chicago, and Detroit, and is
now on his way east where he will
deliver addresses at New York and
Boston. The Hindu poet ranks as one
of the famous writers of the present
day, and since his winning of the
Nobel prize in literature in 1913, he has
grown to his present place in litera-
ture.
Mr. Tagore is opposed to nationalismi
as an ideal and is firm in the belief
that the hatred that nationalism en-
genders is at the bottom of the "satur-
nalia of blood" tat is now devastating
Europe. Mr. Ta.ore is of the belief
that a universal religion will some. day
arise, but he does not subscribe to
the belief that this religion will take
one form.
Calls for reservations for seats have
been received from many of the neigh-
boring towns and much interest is be-
ing shown in the visit of this distingu-
ished educator and poet to Ann Arbor.
Mr. Tagore will arrive in Ann Ar-
bor today at 2 o'clock, coming from
Cleveland where he spoke last night.
He will remain here until 10 o'clock
Thursday morning.
Mr. Tagore has announced that lie
will be glad to meet any who desire
to remain at the close of the lecture.
When he spoke in Detroit last Friday
night nearly the entire audience shook
hands with him.
