Institution of Internation-
al Court of Justice
Planned
ARGENTINE UNCERTAIN
Chinese Delegate Will
Open the Conference
At Geneva
lBy Associated Pressl

Geneva, Sept. 3-Delegates from
48 nations the possible eXecp-
tion of Argentina-are expected to
present their credentials when the
second annual session of the Assem-
bly, of the League of Nations con-
Genes here next Monday. The pro-
gram prepared by the Secretariat, in
cluding the final institution of the
International Court of Justice and
the election of the IS men who are to
serve as the first set of internation-
al judges and alternates, calls for the
disposal of as heavy and important
tasks as confronted the Assembly
last year.
Argentina's attitude is problemat-
ical in view of the fact that her en-
voy, at the 1925 Session, declared an
intention of withdrawing from the
League. Preparations, nevertheless,
have been made to receive her dele
cation. Representatives of the six
new states members, including Aus
tria and Bulgaria, will be present
from the start this time and it is re-
garded as possible that Hungarian
and German delegates will be admit
ted before the end OF the session.

A Penalty for Boiling.

Assistant Attorney General Hank.

next house Of delegates Of Virginia.
subject to the democratic primary in
August"
This is calculated to discourage bolt
ing. A voter must remain regular if
he is to enjoy all the privileges Of
citizenship in the Old Dominion.
Presumably, however, there will be
no objection to the exercise of the vot-
ing privilege by those who supported
Harding last November as protest
against wisconsin, and yet are demo-
Gratis all right in home affairs and
ready to support democratic candidates
for nominations or for offices now.
After his first defeat for the presi-
dency Mr.. Bryan showed disposition
to carry this matter to the extreme
He announced that no democrat who
had bolted his nomination should re-
turn to the party except in sackcloth
and ashes.
But this proved to be the deliver
ance of an angry man. Four years
later he had cooled off. and was glad
to accept support without conditions.
Still, easy as he made the approaches
to the polls, he again did not receive
enough support to win.
And now, singularly enough. after
quarter century, Mr.. Bryan is under
the ban himself. He voted for Gov.
Cox last year, but the weight of his
name was cast against the ticket in
the campaign. He refused to speak
for it. So the Coxites have tagged him
as in effect bolter, and announced
that the must present himself in sack
cloth and ashes If he hopes to affiliate
further with the democratic party.
There is no likelihood, however, that
Mr.. Bryan will order any such peni,
tential toggery of his tailor.

Anna Louise Cary.

II has been nearly forty years since
Anna Louise Cary's glorious voice
was heard by the American public. She
had been singing only little more
than ten years in opera and in con-
cert when she retired upon her mar.
riage. Since 1882 she has been liy-
ing a domestic life. almost all of that
time in Norwalk. Conn. Yesterday she
died. at the age of seventy nine, and
her death revives memories of old
times on the stage. Her name was
associated with those of the two PATHS.
Adelina and Carlotta: Nilsson, Gers
ter, Kellogg. Campanini and others
famous generation ago. Her voice
was remarkable contralto. of ex-
ceptional purity and range. She was
gifted with great beauty and her pres.
ence on the stage was magnetic. There
was genuine grief when she retired at
the age of forty, her voice undimin-
ished in its rare qualities. Perhaps
she was wise to stop then in the full
glory Of her talent and fame. Many
other singers have continued. some of
them beyond the point of discretion,
and the public has been kindly patient
for the sake Of memories. Anna Louise
Cary's voice still sounds in the mental
ears Of those who We're favored to
hear it. with the same purity and
depth and sweetness that were it's spe.
cial qualities when she sang her last
song on the stage

John Burroughs Clubs.

The writer of a letter to The Star, a
longtime friend of the late John Bur.
roughs. proposes the organization Of
Burroughs clubs for the preservation
Of wild growths. John Burroughs
hated to see wild flowers torn up by
the roots and Towering shrubs broken
for the sake Of their whiting blossoms
The Stars correspondent said that
much as he loved Washington he al
ways refused to walk along a certain
street in this city because there he
saw evidences of such vandalism, in
the form Of goods displayed for SALE
He might have seen them on all the
roads leading into Washington at this
time of year, with the highways filled
with motors bearing branches Of the
dogwood and others of our beautiful
shrubs.
The purpose Of these proposed Bur-
roughs clubs is to teach the lesson of
preservation of beauty. The children
should make effective missionaries in
this work. Mrs. Patterns suggestion
is well worthy Of execution. Much
has been done here already in the way
of practical conservation. In the pub
lie schools a great advance has been
made by organizing the children into
garden groups and nature study
classes. Under the guidance Of Mrs.
Susan Sipe Alburtis thousands of the
young Washingtonians have been
taught to respect plants and flowers
in other peoples yards. Not long ago
an exhibit in practical conservation
was held at the Wilson Normal School,
that has attracted nationwide atten-
ton.
Washington is good field for the
beginning Of this work. John Bur-
roughs was we'll known here. AS stat
ed, he loved the city, and especially in
the spring, when its wonderful foliage
was just developing in it's first full
freshness. He loved it's trees and its
parks and the hills all around the
city. with which he was intimately
familiar.
Let Washington erect memorial to
John Burroughs by starting this work,
perhaps not confined to the children,
for adults are even worse offenders in
the matter of shrub and tree vandal.
ism than the youngsters. It would be
a most effective tribute to the memory
of the dear man who has gone and
who did so much for this country by
teaching it communion with nature.

Peonage.

While about it. the national govern
ment should make its investigation Of
peonage broad and thorough. 1t should
not circumscribe its activities in SO
serious a matter, but extend them
to wherever there is complaint, or
good reason to believe that the evil
exists.
Evil it is: and now is a dangerous
time for it to exist. Labor of all
kinds: organized and unorganized;
skilled and unskilled: literate and
illiterate, is discontented and in some
sections in a state OF grave unrest.
Peonage applies to labor in the lat
ter's lowliest and most helpless form.
On that account the authorities should
be especially vigilaht. They should
see that the humblest man. living out
side of organization influences and be.
yond the reach therefore Of organiza-
ton aid, is protected in his natural
rights against injustice or oppression
from any source.
The representative Of the Depart
ment OF Justice in charge Of the in
vestigation now in progress in Georgia
makes the gratifying statement that
in that state "peonage is not wide
spread in the sense of being state
wide" At the same time he con-
fesses that 1.-The bulk of our work
now is on peonage complaints. and
there are more Of these than all other
cases combined"
We may easily believe that the rep
resentative planters OF the south are
opposed to peonage. Putting the mat
ter on the lowest plane, it is against
their interests. They are large EN-.
ployers Of negro labor. and cannot af-
ford to mistreat their help or remain
Indifferent when scandal attaches to
labor conditions around them. For
this reason they will probably lend
their aid and influence to the. effort
to stamp out peonage wherever il
exists.

The Greeks in Trouble.

Disaster has overtaken the Greek
forces in Asia Minor. Pushing for.
ward from the line of their initial sue
cesses in the advance toward Angora.
the Turkish nationalist capital, they
attacked the Turks at Eskisher, an
important junction point about 1870
miles west of Angora. At first they
were successful. but the Turks, rein.
forced, regained the town and at lat.
est reports had caused the Greeks to
retreat in the direction Of Brusa. Evi.
IDENTIFY the Greeks were deceived by
the eastward movements of the Turks
into thinking that the nationalist
were planning to offer no serious re.
s1stance or were unable to hold their
lines.
Thfs campaign in Asia Minor was
undertaken by the Greeks with per.
haps Inadequate preparation. 1t was
a heavy enterprise. Now the govern.
nent At Athens is cushing reinforce.

tinople states that it is expected that
a Greek army Of 100000 men will be
put in the field.
The Turkish nationalist leader, Mus
tapha kemal Pasha. has issued a
manifesto saying, This is the last war
for the preservation Of the empire.
Every Turk must enroll or be executed
as a traitor" Obviously every pos
sible resource will be employed to pre-
vent the Greeks from gaining further
ground in Asia Minor. The Turkish
nationalists are in q difficult position.
To the south of them are the French
and British areas. To the east of
them are the Caucasian bolsheviks.
in whose friendship they have
lately trusted, but who may at any
time turn upon them. If the Greeks
can only hold firm line from the
Black sea southwark the nationalists
will be compelled to strike a bargain
with the Caucasus reds, for they must
have an outlet. Meanwhile the situa-
ton Of the Armenians is desperate.
They are being ground between the
nationalists and the reds. France and
England are not disposed to lend any
aid in the Greek campaign.
Up to the present the Greek enter
prise has not succeeded. The Turks
could well afford to yield ground in
the west. A mere demonstration of
force on that front is Of no political
value. King Constantine. pledged to a
vigorous warfare against the Turks,
may find himself greatly embarrassed
and possibly his royal position
jeopardized.

The Note to Berlin.

The attitude of the administration
toward Germany's efforts to dodge re-
sponsibility for the great war and to
default on the payments toward repa-
ration to which she is pledged has
never been in doubt in this country.
We change our administrations, not
our consciences. The joy Of NJ.
Viviani over the recent note to Berlin
lies not so much in the assurance
thereby given to France. for France
could never have seriously doubted
but that we are in full accord with
her in her just demands to Germany.
but in the rendering of those assur-
ances into the written word for Ger
many to read. For France, with the
rest of the world. recognizes the ex
traordinary faculty of Germany for
misjudging the state of mind in other
nations, and has been exceedingly
anxious that the United States might
effectively disabuse the fond misappre-
by her in her resistance to the allied
demand that she honor the pledge
made at Versailles. The Hughes note
will accomplish that end, so NJ. Viviani
and the nation rejoice.
The stupidity of those charged with
the delicate task of estimating the
trend of foreign opinion for Germany
has been perhaps more responsible
than any other single factor for the
pass in which that nation finds itself
today. 1t brought her into a war into
which she would never have entered
had the attitude of England been
accurately gauged in 1914. 1t insured
her absolute defeat when her agents
blundered in their advice as to the
American sentiment early in 1917. And
recently, in 1921. it has been threat
ening to persuade her to policy
which, if adopted and pursued. cannot
but bring down upon her the contempt
and distrust of the civilized world for
decades to come.
The government at Berlin is face to
face with the question as to whether
the game it has been seeking to play
is worth the candle. Instead of meet
ing its just obligations, fulfilling its
plighted word and setting forth upon
the task of regaining the confidence
and good will of the world sacrificed
to crafty the criminal ambitions of
William Hohenzollern, it has since the
armistice, which signalized the triumph
Of right over wrong. sought to beat
the game. The fact that the game
cannot be beaten must now be dawn
ing upon her. The Hughes note must
serve to remove the last preposterous
premise upon which her hope that that
end might be accomplished was based.
For government charged with re-
sponsibility for the future of the peo-
pie Of Germany to do aught but ad.
nit its duplicity and accept the in.
evitable would be faulty even beyond
German governments as we know
them.

Uncle Sans Almanac.

The day OF the farmer who planted
his crops by the almanac which hung
on it's hook near the clock between
the pantry and the door leading to
the back kitchen has passed.
The newspapers and bulletins from
agricultural colleges keep today's
farmer up-to-date, or perhaps he has
a son who is a graduate of one of
the colleges which have done SO much
to make the farm pleasant and profit
able. He may have taken short
course himself and have a knowledge
of soil analysis and fertilizers that
his grandfather would have given his
best pair of cowhide boots to possess.
