The judging committee will meet today to discuss the work of those who appeared last night and a -pre- liminary selection will be made. Those who are to continue in the tryout will be notified by card some time this week. Material will be assigned them immediately after vacation.

Dean Bates and Professors Wilgus, Vogel, and Drake were appointed as a committee to draw up resolutions to express the faculty's appreciation of Professor Knowlton and its sympathy to his family. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon all three classes in the Law sclool met together to decide upon a fitting way to honor their late teacher and friend. After deciding to send flowers to the family as an expression of their grief, a resolution was passed to establish a Knowlton memorial loan fund for the purpose of helping needy students in the Law school. A committee of six, two men from each class, is to have charge of receiving the contributions from the students which will estab- lish, a nucleus about which the fund may grow. It was also decided at this time that the law students should meet in front of the Law building at 2:50 o'clock and from there go in a body to the house, where if the plans are not changed, they will form an honorary body guard from the house to the cemetery gates. Dean Bates stated that a memorial service would probably be held for Professor Knowlton later in the year. "MAGIC CARPET" PROGRESSES RAPIDLY UNDER PROF. NELSON "We, expect to have every detail of every act perfect before Christmas vacation," said Prof. J.

Forest (United Press Staff Correspondent.) London, Dec. 13.-The terms which are believed to constitute the only bVsis upon which the entente powers are willing to enter upon peace ne- gotiations were ascertained this after- noon from various sources by the United Press. One of the provisions would be through full indemnity by Germany for devastation to the nations which she has invaded. The terms are as follows: Terms Suggested. The evacuation and restoration of all occupied territory, including Bel- gium, France. Poland, Serbia, and Roumania, with full indemnity for the devastation which German occupancy of those territories has entailed. Restoration of Alsace-Lorriane to France, cession of the Constantinople straits to Russia, indemnity ship for ship and ton for ton for all destroyed shipping, adequate punishment for those responsible for atrocities com- munitted by German forces. Distribution of German Colonies. It was emphasized in all quarters that the only questions of a possibly negotiable character in the peace pro- ceedings might be as to the distribu- tion of certain conquered German col- onies, and as to the character and limi- tation of Germany's future armament. Ann Arbor business men, house- wives, students, and boarding house proprietors will unite in a mass meet- ing in the high school auditorium at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening to dis- cuss the high cost of living. Speeches by a city business merchant, a repre- sentative of the Housewives' league, a boarding house proprietor, and a stu- dent representative of the student body will be given. That the women of the city will co- operate in the movement is shown by the fact that every member of the Housewives' league which met yester- day afternoon in the council chamber was heartily in favor of mass meet- ings at which different citizens and students can express their approval or disapproval of a boycott campaign. The question of a public store was also drought up by the housewives. A letter was received from the Grangers' association asking for some store at which the farmers could sell their commodities to the public direct. A committee will be appointed to look into the matter. WEATHER EXPERT GIVES TALK FOR BENEFIT OF GOODFELLOWS Norman B. Conger, director of the Detroit weather bureau, and GeorgeR R.

ADELPIiI WILL HAVE PARTIES Debating Society to Model Itself After Federal Congress DOLLS TO REPRESENT FAGUILTy Women's League Members Will Hold Circus on Friday "Hits on the Faculty" might be said to characterize the side show run by the freshmen at the Women's league circus Friday afternoon, Dec. 15.

NEW YORK GERMAN CONSULATE NAMED IN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY The above dispatch passed by the British censor is in marked contrast to the terms under which a high Ger- man embassy official told the United Press yesterday Germany would be willing to make peace.

Smith declared that he had gone to the New York consulate, had told his name and the nature of his business and had been instructed what to do. C. C.

One Greek laborer is dying in the University hospital and another is in- jured, while two are held in the city jail, as the result of a riot which occurred among strikers of the Hoov- er Steel Ball company, in a Greek cof- fee huse on Ann street last night. It wa.3 believed that the man in the University hospital, John Derijios, could not live through the night. The riot served as a climax to a stormy day in which the discontent- ed Greeks paraded the streets of the city, were kept from the factory by a force of 75 policemen, and attacked a sub-foreman who refused to join the ranks of the strikers. The two Greeks now held in the jail are: John Predonoski, and Nickolo Derijios. The former was injured in the fight in the coffee house, the latter, is a brother dfthe man in thehospital. The remainder of the rioters escaped before the police arrived. Trouble began to brew when a crowd of the strikers drifted into the shop yesterday afternoon. A quarrel arose, during which Derijios was shot in the stomach with a 38-caliber revolver, which was carried by one of the Greeks, it is believed. The police ar- rived in response to a riot call. John Derijios was sent to the hospital, where it was first thought that he would die within a few hours. At a late hour last night, however, he was still alive. Derijios was one of the strikers, it is believed, who marched to the Hoov- er shops this morning demanding an increase of four cents per hour and time and a half for overtime, Sundays and holidays, as compared with offers made by L. J. Hoover to give employ- ees a two per cent increase in wages. Turned away by the police, the strikers marched up and down the streets until noon when they met a foreign sub-foreman who had refused to join the "hold out." They rushed at him, one of the men pulling a knife. Some friend slipped a dagger into the hand of the foreman and he met the charge, cutting a finger from the man's hand who held the knife. The police were called and dispersed the crowd.
