Klein AN UNNECESSARY SUGGESTION Willis J. Abbot, contributing edi- tor of the Christian Science Moni- tor, has declared for modification of the Kellogg peace pact in a speech made at the Institute of Politics limitation of armament round table at Williamstown, Mass. His resolution suggested that the nations "put teeth into the pact by refraining from supporting war as well as from entering it. He offered two points to enforce this: by with- holding exportations of armaments' to belligerent nations and by with- holding money loans to them. It would seem that the learned editor has mistaken the purpose and meaning of the Kellogg pact, at least in-so-far as it was origi- nally drawn up. The peace pact was intended to be a bond of hontr between nations-not a mandatory treaty to be enforced by offending powers but a promise and under- standing that all war would be abolished. It has shown its effect in the staying of the outbreak of war be- tween Russia and China, and those two nations have shown them- selves desirous of maintaining their honor and prestige as nations of the world. There was no im- position of force to bring them to' the decision, and no great or imme- diate fear of war in either part. Their armies and their resources were approximately equal, but so also was their recognition of the uselessness and ineffectiveness of war to end their problems. The acceptance of the principle of no support for belligerent na- tions -would be superfluous. The learned editor declared that "it gives effect to the proposition that to support a war is just exactly as much a violation of the spirit of that pact as to engage in a war." He has overlooked the fact that an agree- ment whereby the powers of the world join in outlawing war in a spirit of friendship and under- standing and under the realization of the destructive nature of inter- national conflict must include the elimination of all support ana recognition of war. AMERICA AT THE HAGUE A conference of great impor- tance to, the United States is now under way in Medaeval Binnenhof at The Hague, where the creditors nations of Germany are attempting to iron out the reparations difficul- ties. While Uncle Sam is repre- sented only by Edwin C. Wilson of the American embassy at Paris who is acting as an observer, the prob- lems which it is hoped will be solv- ed there have a great bearing on the European attitude toward this1 country and on the economic wel- fare of. the conferring nations. ! However, the meeting promises to be a stormy one with every gov-; ernment represented ready to, con- bend for a different arrangement I of reparations payments. Great, Britain, speaking through Phillip Snowden, foreign secretary, will fght for a modification of the Young plan which is expected to Plan as "grossly unfair" to his country in that it will give-pecu- liarly enough-the lion's share to France and Italy and subject Great Britain to a much greater loss if the German debt is reduced in any way. Italy naturally sides with France in this matter, although at the same time battling with the latter nation for control of the Mediterranean. England is also contending for immediate evacua- tion of the Rhineland by all Allied troops with the other two half-way assenting but holding out for secret control of the district. Germany, becoming more independent and I self-assertive every moment con- siders the return of the Saar Val- ley and the withdrawing of all domination and control from the Rhineland part of the price she must pay for acceptance of the Young Plan. And the smaller na- tions represented as one by Eleu- therios Venizelos, minister of R Greece, are wavering between com- plete acceptance of the Young pro- posal and its modificatitn, with a tendency toward the former. All this would seem to indicate that a deadlock is in order. It is almost certain that Snowden will not back down in his determined fight for modification, but it is more than a possibility that the French and Italian delegates may relent sufficiently in their pursuit of the spoils of war to accept a. slight modification in exchange for permission to maintain the greatly desired "secret control" of the Rhineland. Germany, it is almost certain, will cling tenaciously to the demand for the return of the Saar valley. The United States, according to a fair survey of the situation, will benefit most by a complete accept- ance of the Young plan as it has been offered, for the benefit to France, Italy and the smaller na- tions will make more certain their economic prosperity and the prompt. payments of their war debts to America. On the other hand, it is thought that the American au- thorities favor Britain's contention in the matter both because of the seeming fairness of modification and with an eye to the coming naval disarmament conference be- tween the two English speaking nations. The return of the Saar valley to German control and the complete evacuation of the Rhine- land by allied' troops would also be of advantage to American interests since private capital from this coun- try has been invested in large amounts in industrial projects on German soil. However, it is probable that Uncle Sam's representative will be an observer and nothing else, and thatJ no attempt will be made to influ- ence the decisions of the confer- ence beyond that of protecting the interests of the United States where they are involved in a very direct way. This has been the policy in the past and there is no warant that there will be any change. They're tearing down the- old Majestic hotel in New York, and Count Von Luckner is sorry for the simple reason that he is inti- mately acquainted with the door- knobs. It was his job, 27 years ago, to polish them-every one. About Books BRIEF NOTES ON ILLUSTRATORS Dhan Gopal Muktrji has been fortunate in the cooperation which he has had from the various artists who have illustrated his books. Both "Gay-Neck" and "Ghond the Hunter" were selected by the American Institute of Graphic Arts as among the best illustrated books of their year. BotA were illustrat- ed by Boris Artzybasheff. The fine work of Mahlon Blame in "The Chief of the Herd" will undoubtedly win the recognition it deserves. Mr. Blaine has illustrated two books, "Vathek" and "Salambo" which were selected by the Amer- ican Institute of Graphic Arts among the fifty best illustrated books of their' year. "Hindu Fables for Boys and Girls" is illustrated by Kurt Wiese with many excellent interpretive black and white drawings. Both "Kari the Elephant" and "Jungle Beasts and Men" are illus- trated by J. E. Allen with many fine half-tone drawings of the tigers and elephants of the Hindu jungle. "Hari the Jungle Lad" is illustrat- ed by Morgan Stinemetz with eight excellent half-tones. "Visit India with Me," Mr. Muk- erji's October book, will be illus- trated with 24 half-tones taken AUGUST RELEASE BY E. P. DUTTON Fiction Aug. 1-Murder in the Laboratory, Davidson, $2.00.

Pubhlinatinn dates and nrices sub- PLATE Ruffles and flares are back in the fashion picture again, says Pa- ris. But under a new guise! What we have heretofore known as ruffles are distinctly back num- bers, but there is a new Paris way of ruffling the summer frock and even the coat, which is decidedly chic. In the first place, the new ruf- fles are restricted, and not scatter- ed aimlessly all over the surface of the dress or coat. And there are many ruffles which are really not ruffles at all. Swarms of chiffon butterflies on the skirt of an eve- ning dress look as delicately allur- ing as the most aristocratic ruf- fle. Drooping leaves of chiffon give the newest Paris frocks a sort of ruffled allure. Circular tiers around the bottoms of smart coats recall but vaguely the ruffles of yester- day. And all this is affecting the fem- inine silhouette. The slim, straight- up-and-down outline for women is passing on. All of the really smart clothes from Paris offer flares of one sort or another. But these flares, whether they be ruffles, cir- cular stripes, godets, gores, or plaits, are only used when they fall so low as to begin ab least halfway down the skirt. Silhouettes are still slim as far down as the hemline. But they are molded to the figure. And the much-abused waistline has at last been restored to its rightful place. By the way, if you-have not yet taken your summer vacation, Patou has arranged the ideal equipment for a week end trip. It pivots on the skirt as a basis of change. By combining afternoon and evening blouses with the same satin skirt, and by allying sweaters and sport blouses with the same crepe skirt, he has provided a dazzling variety of change- that may be accommo- dated by a single suitcase. Coats and jackets also play an important part in the wek end wardrobe. The sports jacket may be reconciled with all sorts of crepe and cotton sports frocks, if it be chosen with care. Similarly, chif- fon gowns may become delight- ful afternoon dresses by the addi- tion of a jacket. 1 -w- -.r I .T FAS HE HION 11 Also KENTUCKY JUBILEE SINGERS BELLE OF SAMOA WITH CLARK AND MCCULLOUCH Get the Wuerth Habit Editorial Comment i f ! I SUCCESSFUL SUCCESS (From The Daily Iowan.) Each man has his own concep- tion of success and each man's con- ception will vary as his own person- ality. Power, wealth, love, happi- ness are all goals towards which most of us aspire, but the success, of our apiration depend upon the intensity of desire. If we but want anything greatly we can attain it; for success depends upon the in- tensive of our desire. Dr. Hugo Eckener, skipper of the raf Zeppelin, has cherished a desire to make transatlantic passage by air a success. He has labored con- sistently with that thought in' mind. After once having crossed the Atlantic ocean on a round trip flight from Friedrichshafen to Am- erica, he willed to do it again. Faulty motors interfered with the second flight and- he returned to the base of the zeppelin after a dif- ficult flight against the elements, man's best friend and worst enemy. Dr. Eckener has again set out for America and will achieve his goal. The world is anxiously awaiting for word of the arrival of his ship. The skipper of the Graf Zeppelin has displayed a type of courage and persistency which is commend- able. Success is in the blood of optim- ists, who are the makers and tak- ers of th e ntunPa which is+ta.
