International News Service.

Despite the secrecy invoked by
leading powers on sessions of the
League Of Nations at Geneva, off,
cials of this Government, although a
non-participant, were advised today
In private adviccs of the major finan-
cial plans to be pressed at this con-
clave.

Practically all OF these proposals
are based upon possible American aid
and support and contemplate inter-
national alliances between the forty
or more nations, with American re-
sources as the bedrock OF the struc.
turc.
Officials here are freely skeptical
that the financial phase OF the
Geneva conference can go far beyond
the conference stage. What officials
here most hope for is that a closer
review OF the shattered finances
abroad. now being made at Geneva
Will slow up the wave of "profigacy'
prevalent throughout Europe and

this plan.
This proposal. with the backing OF
leading European nations. according
TO today's cablcErams, would pool
tho gold and credit resources of the
world In a common fund. and the
fund would be utilized to effect ex-
changes upon some common basis
or unit OF inter-exchange.
While officials here evinced kcenest
interest over the probable outcome
OF tho discussions, Il was thought
the conference would be poweriess
to do more than recommend a course
OF action which might be laid be-
fore some subsequent gathering rep
resentative OF the business and finan-
cial interests OF the entire world.

its front page picture Of GA st. Pc
tersburg Summer Girl" The young
lady is pretty from the neck up and
beautiful from the neck down. Her
raiment consists entirely of garment
copied from an Athens style of the
ancient Greeks and known to them as
the "kneightie." 1t hangs from the
right shoulder, leaving the left and
considerable territory around it bare
and reaches down to within about six
inches of the young lady's dimpled
knees. We suppose it was taken just
before she hit the hay. If they dress
on the streets that way, the Star will
have to give US months vacation in

SENATOR FLETCHER'S SPEECH

Senator Fletcher's friends are glad
to see and hear him, but he does not
need to come to Ocala to make votes.
He has the town cinched.
The weather clerk has a mean way
o. handing our town a package of
rain just when it wants dryness. 1t
was the intention that Senator Flet-
cher should speak from the bandstand
Friday night, in which case a huge
crowd would have heard him. The
rain, early in the evening defeated
this plan and also caused many TO
stay away. Nevertheless, the court
room was filled and many stood in the
nall outside. A number of ladies
were present, and it is a safe bet that
they will vote for the senator if they
are given the ballot in time.
Mr.. Fletcher. entering the room,
received hearty greeting from the
audience. He was introduced, or
rather made way for, by Mr.. Louis w.
Duval, member for Marion of the
state executive committee Mr.. Duval
as usual said only what was neces-
sary, and sat down. and Mr.. Fletcher
began his talk to his deeply interested
audience.
Mr.. Fletcher is not what you would
call spellbinder, and from his re-
cord in Congress his constituents can
see that he does no more talking than
necessary. He passes most of his time
in committee work, helping to put the
vast mass of work before the Senate
in shape for voting on. When he
speaks his remarks are always terse
and to the point. If all the other SEN
ators initiated him. public business
would be greatly expedited and the
| Congressional Record would be thin
However, when he makes a speech
everybody is interested and nobody
Wearied. He is a great contrast to
Cats, with his "strong, fierce voice,
and occasional remarks that a lady
winces to hear. Mr.. Fletcher, as is
well-known, during his congressional
career, has been identified with some
of the greatest work Of the govern
ment for the people. he is well posted
on matters of vital Importance to the
farmer, the banker and the trades
man, and he would rather speak OF
education or commerce than politics
But his assignment Friday night wa!

statements made by Cats regarding
his real or attempted services to tn
public he showed by official docu
ments to be only figures of the gov

And yet Mr.. Fletcher was not aci

He spoke of him rather with kindl
sarcasm; with the tolerance due on

seems to be fence picket, and some
times the flavor of the picket leads
one to think it might have been pulled

After finishing his address, Mr..
Fletcher was warmly applauded and
was kept busy for some time shaking
hands. He already knew a large pro-
portion of the people present. and
many of the others were added to his
list of acquaintance.
Mr.. Fletcher passed the night in

If Cats is elected to the Senate,
there is one thing his party could use
him for. He would be it's best bet in
a fiilibuster, for he could talk seven
days and seven nights without stop

for he can imagine faster than he can
talk.
