Renewal of Anglo-Japanese Treaty m Form Agreement To U. s. Is Urged By Hughes

means at her disposal to effect such a modus vivendi as will secure a renewal of Anglo-Japanese treaty in a form agreeable to the United States. Whether she is party to 1t or not is not so ma terial so long as she accepts it and does not regard the renewal of it as being in itself a hostile act by Britain directed against herself While making every st- fort to retain the friendship of Japan, we cannot make an enemy of the United States. Nor can Britain do so.
 SHOULD RENEW TREATY
 'I think the interests of Australia lie in renewal of the treaty in some modi- fled form. I see no reason why the treaty should not be renewed in a form which would be satisfactory not only to the empire and Japan, but to America as well. An uninterrupted era of peace is impossible to contemplate while the world Is resounding with the clang ot naval construction. I have always taken the attitude that while very little may be expected from the League of Nations, yet, because peace is, so fdesirable and war so awful. all civilized nations ought to do all things possible to prevnt war.
 The most powerful agency for the worlds peace today is the British em- pre. The hope of the future peace of the world seems to lie in some understand ing--cal it what you will--between America, England and France. The League of Nations is an unwieldly, clumsy contrivance There is only one way to prevent war, and that is for the world to turn it's back upon it and, since progress of the world is uneven, some hations surging ahead of others, # war is to be prevented, there must exist amongst those who are opposed to war power to prevent war"

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN THE KID"
 HAS GREATEST ROLE IN HIS CAREER

on into tragedy or deeply serious drama if 1t had not been for the fact that it was the doorstep of such a comical fellow as the window glazer, enacted by Chaplin.
 The first scenes after the. glazie, has taken the child In are filled with his efforts at nursing and his arrange ments for it's comfort. These cause considerable mcrriment. Then the time shifts to five years later, wheN Charlie and the small boy are well es> tablished in a flourishing business. The small big-eyed boy innocentls goes a few blocks ahead of his guar dian and breaks windows. Charlie as the glazier appears after discreet in- terval, suavely distressed and willing to mend the window--for the prope, price.
 In support of Chaplin, as the Kid, appears young boy, who to judge by the present, is a coming Chaplin himself. The two do splendid team work, and make great appeal from many standpoints in their joint act ing.

MAY DEFEAT MEXICO'S EFFORTS
 TO GET EMBEZZLER

SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.-Death may defeat the efforts of the Mexi can government to eXtradite Captain Carmel Carlos Garcia on charge Of having embedded S60,000s while paymaster in the Mexican army Garcia is dying of tuberculosis in the San Francisco jail. If he goes to Mexico. he may be shot as a traitor.
 Garcia was arrested here at a fash ionabl hotel more than two years ago He fought extradition on the ground that his was a political of fense, and that in Mexico he would lave to face firing squad. He said he wished to die in this country and be draped with the American flag.
 The case has been carried through several courts. After having been released several times on bail, Gar cia underwent serious operation and tuberculosis developed Recent ly he was pronounced in a serious condition Lower courts ordered him returned to Mexico but he has car
 
 ried his appeal to the United States Supreme Court, which must decide in which country his life will end.
 When arrested, Garcia had in his possession $2S,000 of the $60,o00 he admitted having taken. The re- mainder had been spent chiefly for Jewelry and clothing. The courts
 
 dered that the cots of keeping him in jail and supplying him with med ical attendance should be first deduct ed and the sum remaining be re- turned to the Mexican government
 If the decision goes against Gar cia, the Mexican officers will have to-. nurse him carefully to get him across the line, where, he says, he would be shot, r

HAWAIIAN VOLCANO MAY BE USED FOR LIGHTING

HONOLULU, T. H., May 14.- The heat of Kilauea volcano, whose great, perpetualy active crater. 32 miles from Hilo on the Island of Hawaii daily provides an awe-in- spiring spectacle for crowds of tour ists, is to be utilized to provide cleo trict light and power for every town, hamlet and industry on the island, if the purposes of a memorial re- gently addressed to the Legislature of Hawaii are worked out.
 The Memorial asks the Territory to appropriate $25,O00 to be match ed by similar amount from the Hawaiian Volcano Research Asso- citation, for borings and other pre- liminary work.
 The Memorial cites the fact that volcanic heat already is being used on large scale for the production of power in Italy. The Kilauea project has been endorsed as feasible by the Pan-Pacific Scientific Con- eress which met here last August.
 The possibility of recovering sul- phur, copper and, perhaps, other
 minerals from the gases of the crater. as well as using the power generated to extract nitrogen from the air also is pointed out in the Memorial 'f' .'t
