AHME NEUTHALITY
MEASURE MAY FALL
BEFORE FILIBUSTER
INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN SEN-
ATORS MENACE WILSON'S
PROJECT
DEMOCRATS TRY TO
REACH COMPROMISE
LaFollette, Gronna, Norris, Cummins
and Others Take Lead in Fight
to Get Extra Session
By ROBERT J. BENDER
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Washington, March 3. -Absolute
confidence in the passage of the armed
neutrality measure changed to a grave
doubt tonight that it would be able to
survive the filibustering tactics
launched by independent Republicans
in an effort to force an extra session.
Democratic leaders late tonight
were so fearful that the measure'
might fail that they began making
offers to the Republicans in an effort
to reach a common ground. Negotia-
tions were started when it became evi-
dent that certain Republicans would
talk the bill to death if possible. These
Republicans declared their intention
on the floor of the senate.
Democrats Concede
While Democratic leaders were reti-
cent as to what advances they had
made to the other slde, it was learned
the Republicans were given the op-
portunity to change the measure to
satisfy themselves, so long as the, two
principal contentions of the president,
power and the vote of credit, were
left in.
The Democrats offered to withdraw
from their heretofore unequivocal
stand on the senate resolution, and t
take the house measure, which strikes
out the "other instrumentalities"
clause, and provides that munition
ships shall not be armed or convoyed.
The president sent word again to
Democratic leaders through Secre-
tary McAdoo that neither side need
have any fear that he will precipitate
actual warfare without first calling
the new congress together for con-
sideration and advice.

PRESS AND PUBLIC FEEL COURSE
TAKEN BY U. S. GAVE
GROUNDS
Berlin, March 3.-Germany accepts
Foreign Secretary Zimmerman's ex-
planation that Germany's move for a
Mexican-Japanese alliance against
America was justified.
Editorial comment today on the
American revelations of Zimmerman's
plan, together with Zimmerman's ex-
planation, indicated unity of belief in
holding Germany not exceeding her
right in such a plan, while it specific-
ally stated the plot was not to be car-
ried out unless American declared
war. Press and public alike agreed
that America's course in breaking re-
lations with Germany gave Germany
ground for taking precautionary meas-
ures.

greatest interest was manifest-
ed in the statement that For-
eign Secretary Zimmerman had
sent a letter to the German
min-ister here suggesting war
by Mexico, officials were unan-
imous in stating that no such
communication was received.

"Michigan and the Big Nine" Subject
of Dunne's Talk at Coun-
cil Conference
"Michigan and the Big Nine" was
the . subject of Maurice F. Dunne's
talk at the opening meeting Thursday
night of the conference of student
councils, held at Purdue last week,
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Dunne briefly reviewed the history
of the Big Nine conference until 1905,
when Michigan withdrew. In his
statements, Dunne said that the rea-
son for Michigan's withdrawal was
the conference three-year ruling which
would have made 12 men ineligible.
Twofold benefits were derived from
the eastern affiliations, Dunne stated:
Eastern ideas were introduced into
Michigan and the east awoke to the
realization of the western standard of
athletics.
In concluding his remarks, Dunne
said, "The students, faculty, and
alumni are now almost unanimously
in favor of changing the Big Nine to
the Big Ten, and beat or be beaten by
their neighboring universities."
Representatives from 16 univer-
sities attended the conference,, which
is heldhannually among the confer-
ence schools..

MICHIGAN UNION $10,702.80

Princeton, N. J., March 3.-Claiming
that the present club system fosters
extravagance and creates artificial
standards, seven of Princeton's prom-
inent seniors have handed Jn their
resignations to upper class societies.
This marks the second step ,n the re-
volt against existing social conditions
at Princeton.
The first step was taken when Rich-
ard Cleveland, son of the late Grover
Cleveland, together with a small nvm-
ber of his fellow sophomores declared
early in January that they would not
accept membership in any of the upper
class societies.
'Thoe who are mo-st viclwntiy:

NEW CARBURETOR
SPRAYS COAL OIL
Tests in a Ford Show Average of 25
Miles to Gallon at Cost
of 12 Cents
A carburetor adapted to the use of
kerosene is said to have proved prac-
tical in severe tests stretching over a
year, has been perfected by Prof. John
R. Allen of the engineering college, it
was announced Saturday, Patents for
the invention arrived several days ago.
New features of the carburetor con-
sist in the use of moistened air, to
prevent carbonization, and in a device
that causes the mixture of air and
gas to enter the cylinders at an even
temperature. Tests in a Ford ma-
chine last fall showed an average of
25 miles on a gallon of kerosene, when
the car was equipped with the new
carburetor, and 20 miles on a gallon
of gasoline, with an ordinary car-
buretor. Kerosene costs 12 cents a
gallon, while the price of gasoline is
22 cents a gallon.
A Detroit accessory firm has ar-
ranged to place the device on the mar-
ket within a short time. The patents
were awarded to William Greitcheit,
former chauffeur to President Taft,
who conceived the idea and sent it
to the University for development.
NEW "POSTWOMAN" SERVICE
TO REPLACE PARIS POSTMEN
Paris, March 3.-Women letter car-
riers soon will be delivering mail in
Paris. This method will be an experi-
ment and preferenc will be given to
the wives of soldiers. Some doubt
has been exressed as to whether the
women will be able to shoulder the
wooden box that the Paris postmen
carry, without being too greatly fa-
tigued.
Recently women tried to replace the
postmen at Neuilly, a suburb of Paris,
but they lasted only three days. The
postal administration, however, hopes
that the Paris experiment will be more
successful.
WALTER K. TOWERS, '12L, WILL

publications, now being editor of the

MAJESTIC REFU NS MONEY TO
PATRONS OF VjLTED SHOW
Waiting patrons were turned away
from the Majestic's second show last
evening, after their money had been
refunded at the box office, because the
theater manager deemed it inadvisable
to continue with the second perform-
ance after an alleged unsportsman-like
behavior on the part of some of the
audience which precluded one of the
acts on the bill.
