CONGRESS PROBE

Called
PROOF OF LEAK IN PEACE NOTE
SHOWN IN COMMITTEE MEETING
Hearing Expected to Be One of Big-
gest Affairs in History
of Congress
By J. P. YODER
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, Jan. 6.-Congress on
edge tonight awaited the rap of Chair-
roan Henry's gavel on Monday when
Secretary Tumulty, Secretary Lansing,
"Frenzied Finance" Lawson, and prac-
tically every financial writer in Wash-
ington and perhaps a half dozen big
capitalists of Wall street will appear
at the house rules committee investi-
gation of the leak to Wall street on
President Wilson's peace note.
The hearing will be one of the big-
gest things in the probing line that
congress with all its investigations has
seen in years. It was established at
the committee's hearings today beyond
question of doubt that there was a
leak. Democrats said openly that the
hearings will be "flivvers." They de-
clared that nothing can be done to
any financial writer even if it should
be'proved one of them was responsible
for the leak.
They admitted it would be different'
if the man who spread the story is
an embassy employee. They also ad-
mitted that the hearings might result
in legislation to prevent future occur-
rences. Republicans declare that un-
less the rules commnittee reports favor-;
ably for an investigation, they will'
make the biggest floor fight the house1
has seen in years.

tive platform work in 1898 and since

the Spoken Word, which he foundedf
in 1904, he has attained added fame as
a teacher.s

To Hold Tryouts

Will Take Place at Union Tomorrow;
Morgan to Be One of

Tryouts for chorus parts in the 1917
Michigan Union Opera to be given by
the Mimes or the University of Michi-
gan Union will be held Monday night
at the Union at 7 o'clock. Director
Charles Morgan, Jr., will be present

prospect that several more will be ar-
ranged at a later date.
GORNETZKY WRITES NEW SONG
"The Dinkey-Bird" to Make Appear-
ance in "Magic Carpet"
Indifferent to his number of song
siccesses, Abraham Gornetky, '17,
has composed an irrestible sweeping
melody, which immediately after its
appearance in "The Magic Carpet" is
certain to take the campus by storm.
"The Dinkey-Bird" is the title of the
song, and will be sung by Frank
Grover, '18, in the Hawaiian act of the
play.
"The Dinkey-Bird" is a poem written
by Eugene Field. It is rhythmical and
naturally adaptable to a melody. Also.
it is of a literary nature, and is not in-
clined to the commonplace composi-
tions that form the substance of man
ragtime pieces. The poem has been
set to music before, but not after the
fashion of Gornetzky. 'In the present
form "The Dinkey-Bird" is a captivat-
ing strain, and will prove a feature in
"The Magic Carpet" on Jan. 12.
Tht song is being published by Mrs.
Root of the University Music House.
The title page will be identical with
poster of the -play. Permission was
obtained from Scribner Sons to use the
lyrics before any action was deter-
mined upon.
STURGES TO TALK JANUARY 9
ON NATURALIZATION PROBLEMS
Hon. Merton A. Sturges, chief ex-
aminer of the United States bureau
of naturalization, will deliver an ad-
dress in the high school auditorium,
Tuesday evening, Jan. 9, at 8 o'clock
He will discuss some of the natural-
ization problems that confront the im-
migrant seeking citizenship in this
country.
Regent Junius E. Beal will also give
a short address of welcome to the
foreign born residents of Ann Arbor
who have signified their intentions of
becoming American citizens.
The address, "Naturalization Pro-
blems," given by Mr. Sturges aroused
great interest at the meeting of the
school teachers of the state of Illinois
at Bloomington. Mr. Sturges will ad-
dress several meetings in Detroit on
Saturday and Monday. The meeting
in Ann Arbor is largely in the inter-
ests of the establishment of a night
school for the benefit of recent citizens
and those intending to attain to citizen-
ship.
GEORGE E. LEWIS TO SPEA
BEFORE BRANCH OF A. I. E. E.
Mr. George E. Lewis, superintend-
ent of the hydraulic power plants of

Jan. 10. The meeting will be held in
room 348, Engineering building.

TO- POUR CONCRETE FOR
NEW UNION APRIL FIRST
Steam Pipes Laid to Thaw Out Ground
Preparatory to Further
Excavation
"We expect to start pouring concrete
for the foundation of the new Michigan
Union Monday and to complete the
foundation by April 1 of this year,"
stated George M. Ames, '85, of the
Hauser, Owens & Ames Co., yester-
day.
Everything is in readiness to begin
work tomorrow. Repairs have been
made for the derrick which was brok-
en last week. The derrick is 70 feet
high, is supported by six cables, and
is capable of excavating several tons
of earth a minute. Steam pipes have
been laid to thaw out the ground at
the west end of the basement where
the big hole must be made eight feet
deeper.
Workmen are engaged in digging
foundation trenches and in sinking
abuttment holes at the east end of the
excavation. About 300 tons of granite
boulders have been hauled preparatory
td'beginning the foundation. The com-
pany's office has been completed under
the Union elm, as well as six shanties
for housing tools and materials. A
gravel bin with the capacity of 150
tons and heated by steam pipes will
allow construction to go on in the
coldest weather.
The committee on the foundation
meets today to decide whether the
gravel on the grounds will be suitable
to use in the concrete. More than 3,000
barrels of Portland cement will be
used.

Speaker is Professor of Torts in Un-
iversity of Detroit
"The Jewish Renaissance" is the
subject of an address to be delivered

ety at 8 o'clock this evening in New-
berry hall by Isadore Levin, a law-i
yer of Detroit, and professor of torts

Senate Support of Wilson
Peace Plan
Ih ISiER STATES ALLIES HAVE
lEFUSED RECENT PROPOSALS
6er1a1 Head Declares in Announce
ment to Fighters That War Will
Go on Owing to Entente
By Carl W. Ackerman
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Berlin, Jan. 6.-America is drifting
toward the allies rather than toward
the policy of co-operation with other
neutrals, is the view of certain ele-
mnents in Germany.,
The opinion is based on discussion
evoked in the United States senate
over the resolution for endorsement of
president's peace note introduced by
Senator Hitchcock. In certain quar
ters, at least, it is held that a debate
as to the possibility of America chang
ing her international policy and enter
ing into a foreign alliance may in
dicate such a tendency.
Kaiser William's proclamation to the
German army and navy today echoed
the press and public's belief that the
allies' reply to Germany is a refusal
The proclamation was as follows:
"To My Army and Navy:
"Together with my allied rulers I had
proposed to our enemies to enter peace
negotiations. Our enemies refused my
proposal. Their hunger for power
wants Germany's destruction. The war
will continue. Before God and hu
manity it is the hostile government:
exclusively that will incur the heavy
responsibility for all further terrible
sacrifices which my will would havE
spared you.
"Justly independent of our enemies
resumption of the war, therefore, and
animated by the will to defend our
holiest good, and to secure a happier
future to the country, you will become
like steel. Our enemies did not ac
cept the understanding proffered by
me.' Now with God's help our arms
will force them to it.
(Signed) "WILHELM,
"Great Headquarters, Jan. 5."

SENIOR PICTURES MUST
0E IN BY FEBRUARY 1
Other Work on 1917 Year Book May
Be Delayed Unless Fourth Year
Men Hurry Photos
Seniors in the University may suffer
the disappointment of not finding their
photographs on the pages of the 1917
Michiganensian among those of their
classmates unless they arrange at once
for the taking of these pictures. Feb.
1 is the final date set for the accept-
ance of the photographs, and it is
hoped by the management of the year
book that every senior will feel it his
duty to look after the matter of turn-
ing in his photograph before this date,
as much of the success of the senior
book depends upon the. number of
senior pictures it contains.
The matter of getting the photo-
graphs in has given more trouble this
year than last, and it is especially trou-
blesome owing to the fact that all other
factors in the production of the book
point toward an early publication. The
