vent it, but it would have been an act
to which she would have been justi-
fed in Directing, and her objection
would have been sustained in an in
ternational council, although not by 3
court of law. In Anglo-Saxon coun-
tries, where courts are in the habit
OF deciding questions of their own
JURISDICTION, it would seem natural to
authorize the judicial tribunal of the
League to decide whether a question
is justiciable or not; but on the Con-
tinent of Europe the ordinary courts
of law have, as a rule, no such power.
In those countries there are habitual-
ly two classes of courts; one to decide
questions of private law between cit
liens, and the other to decide cases
il which the duties of administrative
J 'fiicals, or theSinterests of the gov
eminent are involved. When a differ
ence of opinion on the question of
JURISDICTION arises between these
courts, it is decided by a Court of
Conflicts, composed of members
drawn from both. If nation does
not suffer It's own courts of law to
determine their jurisdiction, one can
hardly expect that it would allow an
international tribunal to do so.
For this reason the Covenant of
Paris, while making plans for judi
cial tribunal and setting up Council
of statesmen, does not provide that
all justiciable questions shall be sub
mitted to the first and all other mat
tiers to the second, but allows any
state to claim in effect that the ques-
ion is not justiciable, and to require
its reference to the Council This is
not the best arrangement conceivable,
but it is far better than having no
method of settling disputes, except !

but involve Emergencies of national
interests and policy, which are polit-

Question of Jurisdiction.
These two classes of questions had
better not be confused, but each re-
ferred to the body most appropriate
for its consideration; but a difficulty
may arise in deciding whether a cues
ton is justiciable or not One of the
parties may we'll claim that an act
performed or threatened by the
other, while not strictly a breach of
international law, is one which affects
it's vital interests or security, and that
to submit the question to a tribunal tc
decide on purely legal grounds is to
abandon it's claim. If Turkey. for
example, had proposed before the
war to transfer to Germany a tract
of land near the Suez Canal, England
would have had no legal right to pre-

ARTICLES XI, XII, XIII.
The Basic Principle.

The Basic HrIncIple.
Article XI. proclaims the great doc
trine of the community of interest IN
the universal maintenance of peace.
1t contains the basic principle of the
League, worked out in practical form
by the other articles, that peace and
friendly relations among nations are
the concern of all free peoples; that
these peoples are justified in protect
Ing order in the world for the common
good; and that international morality,
fair dealing and respect for the rights
of others are duties which every
country owes to mankind, and which
mankind is entitled to expect and de-
mand.
Article XII. embodies the substance
of the agreement made by the Bryan
treaties with a score of nations. 1t
lis the elimination of principles for
which the United States has long
stood With a few exceptions, most
ly of small countries, the United
States mas concluded such treaties
with the states named in the Annex
to the Covenant as admitted to the
League, or has signed with them
treaties which only await formal rat
ification; and the effect of this article
is to cause them to make with one
another the agreement for arbitration
before war which we have negotiated
with each other.
Value of Delay.
This article like the Bryan treaties
is based upon the idea that delay is
in itself of great value quite apart
from any compulsion to abstain from
war after an award has been made
1t removes the opportunity for
a sudden attack upon an unprepared
victim and it gives a chance for a
calm consideration of the conse-
quences of war, instead of the rush
of enthusiasm that comes when ma
ton is plunged into a conflict without
reflection.
But the Covenant goes farther by
attaching some compulsion to the
award or rather by protecting the
nation which complies with it's terms.
By Article XII. the members of the
League must submit any dispute be-
tween them, likely to lead to a rup-
ture, either to arbitration or to in
quiry by the Council. If they agree
that the case is suitable for arbitra-
ton they agree further by Article
KILL to carry out the award. Now
by Article XXI. of the Covenant it is
provided that this shall not affect the
Bryan treaties. But under those
treaties the parties are not bound to
carry out the award, and one NAV
ask whether this article imports an
obligation to do so. Clearly it does
not, because those treaties cover con-
troversies of all sorts, including such
as the nations involved might not be
willing to submit to arbitration with
a duty of that kind attached. Never
theless, the provisions of this Cove
nant certainly prevent nation dis
satisfied with an award under the
treaty from going to war without sub
hitting the dispute to inquiry by the
Council. The Bryan treaties furnish,
therefore, an additional means of
reaching an accord, without impair
ing the guarantees of peace in the
Covenant.
The second clause of Article XIII.
gives examples of the kind of ques-
lions deemed suitable for submission
to arbitration. They are such as de-
pend upon issues of law or fact, in
Guiding the Interpretation of treaties

muster and not suggest actual cheap
ness.
The Paris frenzy for short sleeves,
which is actually such an obession
just now that in Paris q long sleeve
is conspicuous, has brought the Ques-
ton of summer fur wraps into fresh
interest. Even a chiffon sleeve is
warmer than no sleeve at all.
Very comfortable, at such times, to
cuddle into a fur wrap, even though
the date be mid-July but the fur wrap
must be feather-light and not burden
some to carry about. The wrap build
ers have seen to this: the little fur
pelisses and capelets for summer time
are the daintiest affairs imaginable.
The beautifully dressed skins, soft and
supple as silk, are lined with chiffon
or with silk mouseline, or very soft.
lightweight satin, and summer fur
wraps dispense with quantities of
dangling tails and animal heads-or
In fact anything that could add an ex-
ira ounce of weight.
When not actually in use they must
be carried on the ARMAND a heavy
fur wrap on a warm day would be an
abomination to carry about. But a
little capelet Of mole or ermine lined
with shirred chiffon is very different.

NOVELTIES IN SUMMER HATS
Fine Straw Regarded as an Excellent
Selection as It Can Be Made
Over Many Times.

If you are going to have several hats
this season, by all means choose one
that is of rather fine straw, and has a
medium high crown and a medium
wide brim. Buying such a hat is real
hat economy, for such a chapeau can
be used over and over again for sew
era1 seasons
A pretty brunette who selected q
hat of this. type four years ago is still
wearing 1t and having 1t admired, be-
cause it has been so easy to make
chic each season. Her hat was orig
inally a light gray hemp with a plain
crown and brim, and was trimmed the
first year with a three-inch band of
black velvet around the base of the
crown, and a gay wreath Of field flow
ers, such as scarlet peoples, daisies
and buttercups, on the brim. The
next year the same hat was faced with
pink crepe de chine on the under brim,
and a dainty wreath of blue forget

AND FoULARDs WORN
Popular Fabrics Are Retained by
French for Summer cIothes-vivid
Gowns and Coats.

Crepe de chine and foulard are re-
tanned by the French for the summer
clothes, but they are handled in a bril-
liant way an dare often splashes Of
gorgeous colors.
True, there is a black-and-whfte fig
ured foulard which is made into an ex
tremely goodlooking French gown,
which one might think demure because
Of its ~coloration, but black and white
can become as conspicuous as red and
purple, and probably more so.
This figured foulard could not pass
in a crowd without catching the atten-
ton of every eye. It is figured in a
tanner that suggests the costumes OF
the fifteenth century testers. 1t is
made in a straight line from shoulder
to ankle, where it suddenly grows ex-
cessively narrow.
The sleeves are long and tight. The
collar of white chiffon is beaded with
crystals, and the belt is of black velvet

me-nots and tiny pink rose buds was
the trimming which gave it a delicate
pastel effect that made 1t a thing of
beauty to wear with an oy~ster-colored
silk suit. The third season it was
colored a soft leaf green with hat dye
(of which there r half a dozen good
kinds), the pink facing freshly pink.
ened with dye also, and the trimming
consisted of a band of darker green
velvet around the crown, which was
embroidered in coarse stitches with
silk in shadow lawn green, purple and
a touch of magenta, and it received
the most compliments of all this third
year.
This year this clever home millineR
is going to dye her durable hat a dark,
but rather bright blue. It will have
the same pink undertaking, and the
trimming will consist of a very wide
dark blue satin ribbon with a Roman
stripe or two in pink, that will be
draped loosely, sash fashion, around
the brim of the hat and fringed at the
ends, which will droop from the left
side of the brim. The hat will be
worn with a blue sport suit and q
fesh-colored blouse.

DAINTY FUR WRAPS
Ermine and Coney the Popular
Summer Fashion.
Every Ounce Of Weight Has Been
Eliminated by the Manufacturers
in the Seasonable Apparel.

About this season the gay little
ermine begins to change his snow
white coat for a darker one that will
exactly match the bare rocks upon
which he disports. For him spotiess
white ermine is out Of fashion tenn
porarily but it is ermine all the year
round-the Whitest Of white ermine-
for Dame Fashion! She cares little
for the brownish hue of summer
ermine-the color that the little ami
NAL selects to match his rock back
grOund-and most of the dainty little
wraps for summer wear have narrow
facings Of ermine at the neck line. A
few Of them are all ermine; but these,
of course, r the very expensive mod
els.
White coney is d humble first cousin
of the ermine, which has managed to
obtain a place in high society. 1t is
not always easy to tell genuine white
ermine from the soft and really beau
tiful white coney, though the latter
fur is much cheaper to buy. Some
times ermine and coney r blended
In the same wrap and usually a
sprinkling Of black ermine tails is
enough to convey the all-ermine sug-
gestion to an average observes.
And, after all, what does it matter,
so long as a wrap is really attractive
and smart? Solid worth in dollars is
not the measure of merit in a summer
fur garment as 1t is in a winter n !;
grace, daintiness, modishness ire the
chief requirements of Madame Mode
and fur that is good enough to pass

promising. Filling-in orders in veilings
