Kennedy, who has become the prin-
cipal counsel in the case of ex-ConsuI
Waller, now serving a sentence in q
French jail for violation of the neu-
trality laws between this country and
France, called at the state department
today for the purpose of presenting
certain phases of the case. Mr. Ken
nedy is disposed TO lay much stress on
arrest there was no actual state of war
between France and Madagascar He
contends that Waller, for this reason.
could not have been guilty of the
charge On which he was tried and con-
vieted, In conversation with q reyre-
sentative Of the Associated Press he
said this phase Of the case had not vet
been presented by this government,
and as soon as Mr.. Olney should re
turn he would present the matter to
him in this light. Outlining the case
in this view Of it he said: IF France
was not at war under the law of ma
tons with Madagascar, she had no
right to subject any citizen or subject
Of a third power TO trial by a military
commission. Such a trial, involving
either personal liberty or rights of
property, is the gravest kind of viola
ton Of civil rights and liberties ap-
pertaining to citizenship. In Waller
case there had been no declaration of
war by France against Madagascar.

ASSISTANT SECRETARY CURTIS

DELIVERED THE GOLD BONDS.
His Impressions of the Britishers

WASHINGTON, July 23.-Assist-
ant Secretary Curtis, of the treasury
department, who went 10 London to
deliver to Messrs. Rothschild the
foreign quota OF bonds in the recent
Washington today. In the course of
a conversation regarding his trip,
Mr.. Curtis said:
1.-THE business in London was sue
cessfully completed, and I am glad
to return to my own country. l
found the feeling regarding invest
ments in United Stats stocks, bonds
and other securities, both public and
private, better than l expected.
There is very large amount of
money in England awaiting invest
ment, and / am satisfied that if the
holders We're assured that the value
of what they bought would not be
reduced by legislation regarding our
currency, large amounts would flow
to this side of the water and an era
of great prosperity would follow. I
was surprised to find England en-
joying an American summer. Dur
ing the six weeks of my stay in Lon
don there We're but two or three
light showers, the remainder of the
days being warm and bright. In
fact, the continued drought has had
a very serious effect on agricultural
interests of the midland and south
ern countries. The political excite
ment attendant upon a change Of
government was most marked, and
the dissolution Of parliament and
the campaign for the new elections
were very interesting to an outsider.
A point, however, which struck me
very forcjb1y, was that the change
of the government made no change
in tbs daily business Of the depart
ments, and, though I was in the
treasury the morning after the an
nouncement Of the new ministry TAX
ing office. there was no attendant
line Of oficeseekers, and the heads
of bureaus and divisions had no
anxiety as TO any prospective de-
capitations. In fact, I was told by
a member of the new government
that the total patronage, including
Of course the clerks, only amounted
TO about sixty places, and one Of
the hardest problems the Conserva-
tive leaders had to deal with was
a fair distribution of these few places

reply of the porte to the suggestions
of the powers regarding reform in
Armenia it is understood that the
former makes several concessions, but
objects to the proposed system of con-

the work Of the committee in trying TO
arouse the people of Minneapolis to the

slant visitor at the New York Life
building, where 1orce of clerks is en-
ployed in sorting out the names of
people who have not been enum Grated
and in comparing the police census
with the regular census.
That there are thousands of people
who have been missed is shown by the
continual stream Of names that is now
coming into the committees hands.
One feature Of the situation is that
people are bringing in blanks which
were left by the enu1nerators, but never
called for. In one case thirty-five
people were missed in one block.
