TREATY COVERSDISPUT
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Matter of Rights of Neutral Com
merce May Be Settled Under
Winon-Bryan Pact.

The important admission was made
yesterday by high government officials
that the Wilson-Bryan treaty Of investi-
cation and inquiry covers as a means
of final adjustment all the disputes be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain relating to the rights Of neutral
commerce.
This admission indicates clearly the
present trend of opinion of the admin
istration on the apparent ultimatum in
Great Britain's notes published. In those
notes Great Britain announced in effect
that she will proceed under her own
conception Of international law and that
the remedy of the United States would
be arbitration.
The probability OF ultimate settlement
by some kind of arbitral court. however.
has not interrupted the progress of the
arguments now in preparation by the
State Department in answer to the Law
propositions Of Great Britain and her
inferences from them in justification of
her action.
1t was stated yesterday at the De-
partment that the progress which al
ready has been made was merely inter-
rupted by the avalanche of Britain's
variations of her original position. but
that the work of framing up a note to
cover all points had not been seriously
arrested.

New York, Aug 5.-There are two
young men in New York who make their
living In an odd way. They hire out as
heroes for movie thrills. When the reg
ular leading actor baIks at circus stunts.
the director calls in Edward Gordon and
John Austin, whose favorite outdoor
sport is riding motorcycles over high cliffs
and open drawbridges
The thrill makers at one time followed
the peri!ous occupation of ascending in
balloons at country fairs. AS their cour-
age grew they came to New York and
found a ready market for their nerve.
Austin has descended the side of the huge
Equitable Building hand over hand on a
rope. He also. while playing the part of
an escaping convict, leaped from a ferry
boat into the floating ice of the Hudson
last winter.
Gordon and Austin are educted. steady
and abstemious. They say that their
tempera ments demand thrills. Monotony
Is the bane of their existence and adven-
ture is the relish with which they flavor
life
The two-dollar movie" has also ar
rived. The Knckerbocker Theater. long
known as the society theater. because Of
its pretentious productions. has been Sc
cured by a syndicate that will put on
straight two-dollar movie shows and
the audience will dress as they would for
the opera.
The Kind Words Club has been organ
lied. Anybody can join. Bishop Charles
d. Williams, of Michigan. who Is spend
ing a month in New York, is sponsor and
suggestor OF the new organization. The
club members are pledged to speak or
write a word of praise whenever kind,
courteous or polite act comes under their
observation.

tor help an aged lady to alight from a

similar act OF courtesy. It 10 the duty of
