out of neutrals has occurred at Paris.
The President was authorized and re-
quested to invite attendance at con-
ference whose calling was practically
ordered. American delegates were TO be
appointed (by inference the President
was to name others than HIMSELF, and
money was appropriated to effect the
provisions of the paragraph.
The national policy was thus declared
and a procedure outlined, for the bill
was not vetoed. Yet action has not been
in accord Herewith. The wish of the
nation. as formally expressed, has been
ignored. The President has failed TO
call the conference. Per contra, he has
been instrumental in delaying peace.
first, by converting into a general con-
ference a gathering of successful bellig-
erents in session for a special purpose,
and, second, by pressing the idea that
before the peace proper Is drawn up an
agreement shall be reached concerning
the vastly complicated details OF an in
ternational constitution. This delay, as
costly as inevitable if the debate was
entered upon, has prevented a return to
normal conditions, and il not soon
brought TO an end may entail the graV-
est consequences.
The putting Of the cart before the
horse as Major Derby calls 1t, is COM
plete inversion Of the natural order.
Congress and the President when
minds were unclouded, both spontan-
eously assumed that the business Of
ending the war and the formulating the
new internationalism were separable
and could best be handled by different
bodies.
Tn current discussion the national dec
laraii0n Of policy, made by both houses
of Congress with practical unanmity,
nd approved by the President, is seldom
mentioned But IL is highly pertinent
if for no other reason than for the in
dex Il gives Of how simple things were
until they were mixed up by sophis-
ticated leadership, disposed TO over-em-
phasize small issues and disregard big
ones.

The Declared National Policy
lFrom The New York Trlbune.)

In 1916 the Sixty-fourth Congress, ir
enactlng the naval appropriation bill,
including the following provision,
which is now the law Of the land:
ut is hereby declared to be the policy
Of the United States to adjust and settle
its international disputes through me-
diation or arbitration, to the end that
war may be honorably avoided. IL
looks with apprehension and disfavor
upon a general increase OF armament
throughout the world, but It realizes
that no single nation can disarm, and
that without a common agreement upon
the subject, every considerable power
must maintain a relative standing in
military strength.
"ln view of the premises, the Presi-
dent is authorized and requested TO in
vito, at an appropriate time, not later
than the close Of the war in Europe, all
the great governments Of the world to
send representatives TO conference
which shall be charged with the duty Of
formulating plan for court OF arbi-
tration or other tribunal, TO which dis
puted questions between nations shall
be referred for adjudication and peace
full settlement, and TO consider the ques-
tion Of disarmament and submit their
recommendation TO their respective
governments for approval. The Presi-
dent is hereby authorized to appoint
nine citizens of the United States who,
in his judgment, shall be qualified for
the mission by eminence I'm the law1and
by devotion TO the cause Of peace, TO be
representatives Of the United states in
such a conference"
10 will be noted this law assumes the
separation of the questions incident to
making a particular peace and the ques-
tions incident TO laying the foundations
Of permanent peace. The two tasks are
not commingled. II we had not become
belllgerent, one can imagine the indig-
nant protests from Washington against
excluding this country from a confer
ence dealing with world problems be-
cause not a belligerent. But shutting

The school as a whole has gotten
back into its stride: that stride that
made z. II. s. SO famous last year.
School and class spirit is bubbling
over, athletics and debating are ex-
citing more interest than formerly,
the dramatic work has been begun
piciously, and, though it may seem
strange, lessons have Lot lost their
popularity 60 with the students in
spite of added interest in other ac-
tivities.
Glass spirit We venture to say
that we now have as much, if not
more class spirit in T. II. :. than
we have ever had before. The track
meet. inter class basket ball games
and other activities have reused the
dormant spirit to a high pitch. signs
of the times literally are filling the
auditorium, and the height of the am
bition of certain boys seems to be
to get up the first thing in the morn
ing and distribute signs over the
study hall. letting the other classes
know what ne thinks about them. and

VERNON MEN MADE
 FORTUNES IN OIL
 COMPANY VENTURE
Went 'Wildcatting," Discovered Waggoner Pool, and Cashed
 in $33.33 for $1.

Vernon, Texas, Aug. 30.-Though Vernon is situated in section noted more for cattle growing and agricul- ture than oil, it's residents have bene- fitted greatly thru the development of the oil industry and the discovery of oil in North Texas.
 Vernon's bank deposits have in- creased greatly this year, and Yer non has the oil fever ten times worse than it ever had the cattle fever. A score or more of it's residents have become rich thru oil, and that has inspired nearly every other man of the community to go and attempt to do likewise. The average Vernonite has more cause for becoming excited over oil possibilities than the citizen of the average community. For the brains of Vernon men conceived the notion of field existing northwest of the Burkburnett pool, and it was Vernon men who discovered the Wag- goner pool that now is as great a marvel as Burkburnett. The Burk- Burnett Oil company was formed here. and among those who invested in, it are Clois L. Green, Dr. A. P. Howard. c. E. Bashem, A. H. Mur- choon, J. A. Birdson and B. H. Pigg. The company sold it's property and for every $100 these men had in it's stock they received $3,333.33.

Mexican Oil Law Not Intended to
 Be Retroactive

Mexico City, Thursday, Aug 2S.- Luls Cabrera, secretary of the treas ury, 1t was stated authoritativelV to- day, will voice the views of the ex- ecutiVe department of the government during the coming debate on petrol cum legislation in the Mexican con- gres, Senor Cabrera was quoted to- day as declaring that the authors of the oil law presented yesterday in a report to the senate were representa- tlves of oil interests. This law eli the retroactive of features which have been the chief points ob- lected to as confiscatroy by foreign oil interests.
 A statement was furnished The As sociated Press tonight by Leon Sa- llnas, acting secretary of industry and commerce, which department has charge of petroleum matters, declar- ing that judging from press dis patches, recent statements by his de- partment on the governments stand ln regard to the legal aspects of ar ticle 27 of the constitution and Presi- dent Carranza's proposals of last Mo- vemher had been misinterpreted by the oil producers association.
 'T have never said that the pro- jected law would be retroactive in eff feet" he said, "but I have said and still maintain that I understood the of the word 'retroactivity' to be very different than the construc- tion placed upon it by the oil pro- ducers' association. The association under the meaning it gives this word claims that laws are immutable and that we have no right to change them even if the changes are in the gen. eral interest. Since I believe that a free people has the absolute right to enact laws which give the greatest aid to it's development, I cannot agree with the oil association which only defends it's own privileged situation, nor can I agree to it's interpretation of words"

Council Discusses
 Italian Boundaries

Paris, Aug. 30.-The Italian boun- daries were discussed by the supreme council again today, but no decision was reached. The question came up in connection with the Austrian boundaries. Plume was not men, toned.
 There have been many rumors con- corning proposed Plume agreements but none has actually been reached as yet. It is clear that the supreme council will not agree on any set- tlement of the entire Dalmatian question which does not provide for the complete internationalizatio of Plume.
 During discussion of the Austrian treaty considerable difference of opinion developed in the council as to whether Austria should be treated as an enemy nation or as a new gov- ernment developed from enemy ter ritory like Jugo-Savia and Czecho- Slovakia.
 new covering letter is being drafted to accompany the reply to the Austrians and the indications are that it will not be possible to hand over the treaty to the Austrian pleni- potentiaries for many days yet.

Says U. s. is Able
 To Get Favorable
 Results on Border

Fl Paso, Aug. 30.-"It seems rea- sonable to expect that our neighbors the Mexicans, should respect us and, as the world war is over and prac- tically all of our combat divisions are at home again, those in authority, if they see fit, are well able to adopt and carry out a policy that should bring about favorable and happy re sults," Major-General Robert L.. Howze, who arrived hece late today to assum command of the border, said tonight.
 "This policy should bring about favorable results as far as concerns first our own interests and those of our friends, subjects of Great Britain and France, who have vast property holdings in Mexico; and second, as far as concerns Mexico in stablizing or in establishing livable form of government" General Howze ad- ded. "We are living in a time too far advanced for the world to toler- ate any but livable forms of govern ment wherever civilized people may choose to live.
 Fortunately, American military matters on the border are in the very best hands, those of Major General Joseph T. Dickman, at San Antonio, who in turn is backed up by our strong chief of staff, General March,"
 General Howze came direct from New York, arriving there Sunday, from the occupied area of Germany where he commanded the Third divi- sion on the Rhine. He was formerly in command of this district before going overseas. He relieved Briga- dier-General James B. Erwin,- -#ko returns to his pre-war rank of colonel September 1.

into the belt and prepared to take life easy some more. We ran along so smoothly, for so long, 1 had great fear that mayhap the captain had stopped off somewhere. I looked back quickly. He was still there though, looking casually about, and
 seemingly taking no great interest
 in my apprehension as to his safety. An, That's Better.
 After being up in the air about 10 or 12 hours, we circled about the
 landing place, hanging to nothing, and dropping and dipping. l looked over the side and saw the state of Arkansas being differentiated into counties, townships, and cities and knew we were coming to roost. Got down to where I could recognize Jef- ferson county, finally Pine Bluff, and second later, we were pumping along the ground toward the little crowd which had been following our ten minute flight with their eyes.
 Capt. Cone said we averaged 80 miles an hour except when we dipped
 We only got Ter up to 100 miles an hour then, and we only dropped about 300 feet once. Of course being up only 2,000 feet, that little drop wasn't very noticeable. Not very. On the way back to town, tho, I speculated on what something human would like after it hit the ground going at 100 miles an hour plus. .
 Some people, after coming down from a flight, have stated they ex- perienced an overwhelming feeling of superiority while flying. I didn't. I felt 8 great humility. I felt alone, and deserted in unmeasurable space. My life depended on the pilot and providence-and it's always we'll to have good pilot.
 Capt. Cone is officially credited with three Hun aviators. For bring ing them down, I respect and admire him highly, But he brought me down safely, and for that I love him. Fly ing is not dangerous, provided the plane is a good one. and the pilot is careful as we'll as skillful Flying is an experience one would not miss for anything-after the flight is over. The sensation while actually flying is hardly a sensation, except when the plane banks or dips. Its a right peart sensation then.
 The air is all right. I like to breathe it. It feels fine at the flag end of the dog watch about 3 o'clock in the morning, and swallow gobs of it at every opportunity. I repeat the air is all right, but-terra is firma-oh much firma!
