MOVE In EUROPE TO
BOYCOTT u. S.
DIES OUT

BRUSSELS, Oct. 1.-The move
ment to boycott America, which
was agitated in some European
quarters six months ago on ac-
count of the deprecated value of
European money in the American
markets, has virtually died out. II
was revealed today by canvass
of delegates to the International
Financial Conference.
The summarized verdict was that
an attempt TO boycott the United
States would be unfeasible and
unjustifiablc in view of the need
for articles which the United
States can furnish.

A triple alliance composed OF
Japan, Germany, and Russia, against
the Western world, and the United

as almost a certainty by former

for governor of that State,

In an exclusive interview given the
international News Service here to-
day. the visorous-speaking fllinoisan
declared the situation arising out OF
the conflict OF aims between Japan
and America was by all means the
most serious of any which this coun-

Is that some sort OF modus- -vivendi

The Last Home.
26,5OO,OO0 Women,
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE

tCopyrisht. 1ssep.
Senator Harding, who will be
President on the 4th OF next
March, made it clear in his speech
at Ashland, KY. that he under
stands the Importance Of inland
waterways. II is safe to predict
that he will endeavor to create
new waterways, regardless Of rail
roads that oppose canals because
1t does not help them TO have
transportation made more pienn-
full or cheaper.
When q man knows that he is
going to be President OF the
United States, his mind necessa-
rily dwclls on the question:
what can / do now that will
seem worth while thousand years
after / am dead?"
Many useful things Senator
Harding might do, for this cpun-
try is ready and eager for con-
structive work here m America.
Senator Harding might locate
the southern boundary Of the
United States where it ought to
be, just south of the Panama
canal, thus conferring great
blessing on all the inhabitants alb
sorbed.
IT, in addition, he should con-
meet Chicago, all the cities of the
Great Lakes, with the waters OF
the world by canal via the. Mis-
sissippi, big enough to admit
ocean steamships to the lake docks,
he would be remembered ten thou
sand years from now, just about
nine thousand nine hundred and

born War League of Nations will
have been forgotten.

Actors and Immortality.

1t was pointed out the other day that
the failure of Edwin Booth to be
elected recently to the hall of fame was
chiefly due to the adverse vote of the
academic element, historians and pro-
fessors of history. II is customary TO
contrast the fate of actors and singers
with that of other artists to the dis
advantage of the former. Once they

remains of their art but the remem
brance of their performances by those
who witnessed them. The gramophone
