Doctor Wilmer Demonstrates Efficacy of Psychological Tests at
Opening of Summer Session in University

"This," commented Doctor Wit
mer, ''is called the memory span test.
Joseph is eight years old. And when
an eight year old boy has a memory
span no higher than three, Il is safe to
say that he'll never pass the sixth
grade"
Then Joseph Rebelled
Joseph was tested further for his
alertness. He was asked to raise his
right and left hands and TO touch first
one ear and then the other, and 80 on.
But Joseph finally rebelled at this stage
of the game, and refused to stand up.
"You don't want to stand upf"

She had never been able to get out OF
her mind the stricken look that Bert
had worn in his eyes when Alice had
made things particularly miserable for
him. "What does he say. Alice?'
Alice handed her the letter, and Ruth
scanned it hastily. 1t was short and
boyishly blunt. 1t was the letter Of
a man who is not sure OF his. feelings
and does not want to be compelled to
think. 1t simply postponed the ultimate
issue. He suggested that Alice con
tinue her stay for the present, that
there were certain things to be con
sidered and thought out. and that he
had not had time to think about them
sufficiently. 1t wasn't any angry letter,
but its very indifference was what could
hurt and stung most. Every word
brcathed the fact that Bert had not
missed Alice. He did not mention the
woman, but a jealous wife could read
her in his thoughts between the lines
and could imagine the very worst. Ruth
herself would have preferred an angry
letter, anything but this obvious effort
to let matters slide. which seemed to
leave no doubt at all Of Bert's utter
indifference.

"But she was surprised to find within

him in a special class of feeble minded

of six weeks, he could read. He had

every word on the pages, wherever he

ICY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED WIRE

New York March 20.-Postmaster
General Burleson, in a letter made
public here today to Secretary of La
Dor Wilson regarding the labor situa-
ton in connection with the govern
ment's control of telegraph and tele-
phone wires, charges that a few agi-
tators" are continuously conducting
propaganda which engenders unnec-
essary dissatisfaction among en-
ployes. The postoffice departments s
policies are misrepresented, Mr.. Bur
Lesson declared so that the impression
is created that the government dis
eliminates against employees who are
members of labor unions.
The postmaster general asserts that
equal treatment in the matter of wag-
es, conditions and consideration of
grievances is given both TO union and
non union employees, and denies there
has been permitted any discrimination
against employees because of labor
union affiliations
The letter deals with a memoran-
dunn prepared by Felix Frankfurter
chairman of the war labor policies
board, relative to telephone and tele-
graph workers which Secretary VIII
son had asked the postmaster general
to consider. Mr.. Burleson declares
that Professor Frankfurter in study
ing this situation did not consult the
postoffice departments wire control
board of which Mr.. Burleson is chair
man, and that Professor Frankfurter
consequently failed to learn facts.
Mr.. Burleson alludes to orders
which have been issued from time to
time to the various wire companies
under federal control and points out
that these orders prove that employees
have the privilege of joining labor
unions if they wish to do so. He de-
nies the truth of "the widely heralded

London March 20 British Wireless
Service 1.-The league of nations con-
troversy in the United States as bear
ing upon the English attitude is the
subjec of the following comment in
the London Times:
1.-The English, without distinction or
party, regard a better understanding
with Americans as the crown of vic
tory 1t is unfortunate for the ideal
that so many of us on both sides of
the Atlantic have at heart that party
feeling should be running so high just
now in America and that we, who
are working with President Wilson in
Paris. should furnish the sticks with
which the republicans are beiaboring
the democrats
I'VE have no wish to take sides in
these party controversies and have
been at some pains to avoid even the
suspicion of doing So Our sole wish
is to work with the American people
in what we believe to be as much
their ideals and interests as our own.
Wishing that. with whom should
we work but the president of the
United States? That he is also leader
of the democratic party is a mere
accident to our mind and If the presi-
dent had been republican we should
have been at exactly the same pains
to understand his point of view and
work with him. -
The Times points out that there
were at the opening of the conference
two general views about the kind of
peace that the world ought to have
the French view and the American
view, and adds;
mo views of settlement were SO
clearly identified with this country as
these two were with France and
America. The chief instrument of the
American view was the league of ma
tions. This ideal is in one form or
another almost as old as international
law, and nearly every country in the
world has at one time or another con-
tributed to it, but its application to
the problems of this war came from
ATe"ica in the first instance.
There is therefore no question al
the conferenc eof our imposing pol
icy of our own. What we have done
was to seek to reconcile so far as pos
sible the French and American views

MORGAN SUGGESTS
THAT MEXICO PAY
INTEREST ON DEBT
t.v so.nso JoussAl SPECIAL LEASED WIRE.


Washington, March 2o.--1nforma-
ton reached here today through Of
ficial channels that Rafael Nieto, act
ing minister of finance of Mexico,
who visited New York recently seek
ing loan for rehabilitation purposes,
is returning to Mexico to lay before
President Carranza conditions under
which j. p Morgan would undertake
to organize a British -French-Am
can group of bankers to finance
Mexico.
Among the conditions understood to
have been outlined by Mr. Morgan
were that Mexico should show an in
clination to pay at least some of the
interest on her foreign debt. which
has been unpaid since 1913; that the
interested group of bankers should
control the handling of the funds; and
that the Mexican government should
prove that conditions are returning to
normal and furnish guarantees in the
form of taxes to repay any loans that
may be made.
In official circles here the recent
invitation of Carranza to Jose Ives
Limantour to return to Mexico is re-
garded as a favorable omen. Imam
tour, who was finance minister under
DiaZ for many years. has been living
in France since the downfall of Diaz.
He is regarded here as one of the
ablest of Latin American financiers.

Especial Wireless Dispatch0
Paris, March 20.-Stephen Pichon,
French minister of foreign affairs,
gave out a statement today to the
American correspondents that it is
not possible to incorporate the league
of nations in the German peace treaty.
The statement is given an outright
denial by the American mission this
evening. I am authorized to assert
that the American plan of including
the league in the German terms re-
mains unchanged, and that the French
foreign minister is in error if he re-
CARDS the project as abandoned.
Amazement was expressed in some
quarters that Minister Pichon should
have permitted himself TO be quoted
on the subject, in view of the an
nouncement made yesterday upon
President Wilson's personal authorize
ton that not only would the league
be made a part of the tract but that
the obligation TO do so had been inn
red be t&a brr.iri aps' conference
-. .reselnt. .onss lde ed r. narF.29 - !
Those familiar with the inner
workings of the situation here are
puzzled by the seeming disagreement
of certain French officials on the ac-
ceptance of this position. They fear
a recurrence of the gossip, rumor and
inuepdo and insinuation that once be-
fore called out a sharp warning from
the American and British delegations.
There are those who think that the
republican and other opposition to the
league of nations are extending their
activities to Paris and are seeking to
use highly placed officials to carry out
their purposes.
The French papers this morning
carried fully the presidents pro-
nouncement on the subject. While
nothing serious will resent from The
seeming dissension, it can be said that
it will not be permitted to pass with
out a rebuke.
In spite of the artificial obstacles
thrown in the path, there is no doubt
that President Wilson's program will
be executed and that the league viii
he written into the German peace
treaty.

Sanity of Or. Ishida, who killed DR..

MONROE: DOCTRINE

London, March 20.-The Liverpool
Post says:
Lord Robert Cecil places the Mon
roe Doctrine in its true light with re-
gard to the league of nations. He says
in effect that so far from the league

article of American political faith, 1t
is the application of that art Gle on 4
universal scale.
According to the draft of the Gov
enant, the parties to the league under
take TO respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritoria integrity and existing politi-
cal independence of every member OF
the league. The most absolute SUP,
porter of 'Monroeism' could surely
desire no more than that.

America her rightful place in the van
