New Regulations
For Child Permits

Officials OF the Juvenile Court an
nounced yesterday the regulations
governing the issue OF poverty per-
mits to children between the ages
OF IL and II years.
One thousand and ninety-five per-
mits were issued to children last
year. In the majority of cases the
applicants were boys. A material
decrease in the number seeking per-
mits this year is predicted by off,
GERS of the court due to the fact
that the high salaries paid last year
no longer prevail.
Children between the ages of IA
and 16 desiring permits can obtain
them by applying at the Franklin
School.

optimistic last night that it will be
oversubscribed.

billions is to get it from the millions"
says the Treasury's statement.
The percentage pace now being set
is faster than it was for the Fourth

the latter was subscribed the third

SENATORS INDORSE
PLAN TO ALLY
WITH ENGLAND

CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE.
Of the Senators believe that one way
to make an effective attack on the
league is to have the Senate indorse
the alliance. They figure that a
league Of nations would not then
be necessary.
Senator Moses. of New Hamp.
shire. a league opponent. declared
himself in favor Of the defensive
alliance
Senator Sherman. Of Illinois. an
other of the league opponents. made
a similar statement Senator Smoot,
of Utah, feels all wrought up over
the splendid possibilities of such an
alliance.
Senator Sherman said:
The proposed alliance has not
been submitted to US, but I can see
il our own peace were threatened that
We might be very glad to have such
an alliance"
Senator Smoot said:
II know there is a strong sentiment
in the Senate to do anything we pos
sibly can to help France. 1 believe
the idea of an alliance would be very
popular In the Senate.
"Of course we do not know the terms
Of the proposed alliance and am I'M
able to say how far the Senate might
be willing to go in the natter
Senator Hitchcock. a league sup
porter. gave as his opinion that the
alliance will be merely a temporary
matter until the league Of nations is
established and begins to function.
He said:
1T seems to me such an alliance
would be necessary only for bridging
purposes until Germany becomes a
member of the league of nations.
When once she does become a mem
ber the whole force of the world will
be against her If she attempts to at
tack France"
Senator Borah is opposed to the idea
of forming an alliance. for the reason
that he Is fundamentally opposed to
any form of .entangling alliance" on
huC pdIl OI tHe WIN
any of the nations OF Europe. He
said:
Borah Opposes.
Il am not in favor of any treaty or
alliance with France or with any other
foreign power obligating ourselves in
any way concerning future wars in
Europe.
Whether We shall take part in
any future European war Is a mat
ter which should be determined upon
the facts when and as they arise and
by the particular generation which
must bear the brunt Of war. and by
the intelligence and conscience and
the judgment of the American peo-
pie as they see the situation when
face to face with it.
Il shall not support any treaty or
alliance. which binds future genera
tions concerning the matter of war
with any European power. am op-
posed to the whole scheme and pol
icy upon principle"
Senator Curtis, OF Kansas. the Re-
publican whip" pointed out the
constitutional phases of the situa-
ton, which. to his mind. would
make it impossible for Congress to
give its sanction to any plan of al
lance. He said:
The President. the Senate or the
House or no one of them. jointly or
alone. can pledge future Con-
gress. The United States has al
ways been ready to do it's full part
to preserve peace and it can be de-
pended upon in the future as in the
past
Its record is evidence of its will
lingness to do everything necessary
to be done to protect civilization
against militarism.
The very fact that the President
asks for such an alliance is evidence
that his league of nations is not
