LEAGUE GREATLY INTERESTED IN TIE

Dy Associnted Press

GeneVa, September 3.--The extent to which the Washington conference IT November occupies the attention of those participating in the work Of the League of Nations here was demonstrated today during the dis eussion of disarma ment and amendments to the covenant, while on mandates was reflected in the councils consideration of the Amer iean reply to the principal powers on that question.
 The note from Washington was not officially before the council, but the representatives of Great Britain. France, Japan and Italy have the text of the note, the substance of which was known to the whole coun- ell, and after reviewing the main features all agreed that progress had been made toward a satisfac tory settlement. The Washington conference was referred to by M, Noblemaire, the French delegate to
 
 took the ground that revision of the pact should be discussed in Wash ington with the representatives of the United States before anything should be done to prejudice the ques- ton. The council. however. decided to proceed with the consideration of the Amendments
 Reject Canadian Plan
 The council rejected the Canadian proposition to eliminate Article x, and adopted a suggestion by Arthur J Balfour one of the English dele gates, to appoint committee to draft texts modifying Article X so as to remove the obligation of mem bers to participate in military action to guarantee the territory of other members.
 Sir Cecil J, B Hurst. England. M. P. Pepin, France. and Prof J. A.. Van Hamei, Holland, were selected as committse for this purpose.
 Tho discessiep of disarmament also reflected the sentiment of several members not to participate in any ac- ton in advance of the Washington conference H A. l.. Fisher, British member, led the opposition to the demand for immediate application of some measures of publicity such as were proposed at the assembly last year relating to the disclosure of their arma aments by the various nations. The disarmament commis- sion at it's meeting decided after considerable discussion to recom- mend to the assembly that an inter national congress on private manu facture and traffic in armaments be held at a time to be fixed later.

MRS. BERCDoLL SENTENCED

THE case of Mrs. Emma Bergdoll was
i complicated by fundamental human re
lationships. 1t is never pleasant to see
mother punished for aiding her offspring,
however mistakenly.
There is not the slightest doubt that Mrs.
Bergdoll's conduct was in violation Of the
laws of the United States in the hour Of
national crisis. Yet If it is wrong. as it
assuredly is. to gild an estimate of her
offense with sentiment. it is not easy TO
disregard the intensity of her natural emo
lions.
Her sentence of $1,000 fine or year and
q day in Jail cannot be called severe. On
the other hand. its pronouncement estab-
fishes the necessary respect for the basic
principles of the national authority,
The majority of Americans will be glad
that publicity will soon depart from her
contribution to the most notorious Stacker
episodes of the war The sooner it drops
from public view the healthier will be the
consequences.

HOPEFUL SIGN

uIGH PRICED apartments are so plen-
IL tiful in Chicago that a real estate
agent is Offering two Of them free of rent
until June l in order to induce new tenants
to sign a lease.
This may be the beginning of better times
for tenants. In the old days, when apart
ments were more numerous than the appll-
cants, it used TO be the custom to give man
months rent free II he would take an
apartment. But tenants have been offering
bonuses for the last year in order to get
any SORT Of accommodations.
Although the housing shortage continues.
people have had time 20 adjust themselves
to the new conditions and they are refusing
TO pay the high rentals asked a year ago.
Fathers and mothers have been living with
their married children or the married chill
dren have been living with their parents,
and this will continue until prices come
down to such figure that a man can afford
to have a house or an apartment to himself.

MUTUAL AID IN THE AMERICAS

TSTEBAN GIL BORGES, the Nenczue.
T. Ian Minister Of Foreign Affairs, now
visitor in this city, has been paying the
usual tactful compliments to the principles
underlying the relations Of the United States
to it's Latin neighbors. The ideal of Pan
Americanism of New World solidarity. is
gracious and inspiring conception, cham
poncd at times no less fervently in Caracas,
Buenos Aires, Lima or Rio than in Wash
ngton.
It IS noticeable, however, and especially
of late. that Latin american statesmen are
prone to depart swiftly from the torid and
grandiloquent into the domain Of the praC-
tical. Speaking in Trenton the other night
and in Philadelphia yesterday, DR.. Gil
Borges dwelt less upon the Monroe Doc
trne and its grandeur than upon the neces-
sity of q closer union between the United
States and South America in the CONNER
cial and industrial fields.
DR.. Julio Bianchi, the Guatemalan Min
lister to this country, sounded a similar key
in New York before the convention OF the
National Association of Manufacturers.
THE average Latin American" he de-
clared. lis not much concerned whether
the imported goods that he buys come from
New York Hamburg or Yokohama so long
as he procures the best value for his money,
and he is not much concerned as 10 who
buys the goods tnat ne exports as long as
he receives reasonable price for his goods
Obviously the Monroe Doctrine, for all its
high minded origin and development, is not
the main factor in this situation. Not talk,
but deeds i3 the requisite for n firm and
progressive expansion of American economic
intercourse. ITO increase its buying ca
pacity," maintains DR.. Bianchi, Latin
America needs help in developing its won
derful natural resources. With increased
products TO sell. Latin America will, Of
course, increase its buying"
In other words, intelligent appreciation
of trade possibilities is needed to create the
sort of unity among the American republics
which could in way resemble that existing
among the various States OF the Union.

bitterly of the pressure Of British or German
competition In the Central and Southern
portions of this hemisphere approach the

AMBASSADOR CHILD

DICHARD WASHBURN CHILD, who is
IN to be appointed Ambassador to Italy,
will compare favorably with his predeces-
sors in that post.
George p. Marsh, of Vermont. was the
first United States Minister sent to United
Italy in 1861. He remained until his
death in 1882. He was a lawyer who had
had diplomatic experience in Constantinople
and Greece and had been a member of Con
gress. He was succeeded by William Wal
dorf Astor, who when he was appointed was
noted chiefly for his wealth and for his
inability TO defeat Roswell p. Flower for
Congress in New York district.
To come down to more recent times, Pres
ident Taft promoted Thomas =. O'Brien. a
Michigan railroad attorney. from the post
at Toxic TO Rome. and President Wilson
named Thomas Nelson Page. a novelist, TO
succeed him, and Mr.. Page was succeeded in
turn by Robert Underwood johnson. a minor
poet and one time editor of the Century
Magazine.
Mr., Child is a novelist and has been editor
OF Golfers Weekly. He served the Repub-
lican National Committee during the last
campaign. Mr.. Johnson was sixty six years
old when he was appointed and his career
was about ended. Mr.. Child is only forty.
and It may be assumed will regard his diplo. g..
matte post as an opportunity for making a
wider reputation,

population is more than the total population
Of the country in 1890
The population increased from 80 to 40
per cent at each census from the beginning
until 1900, when It fell to about % per cent.
In 1900 II was about 20 per cent and about
the same in 1910, and last year it was only
Ia per cent Yet between 1880 and 1910
the increase amounted TO 40 per cent.
The falling off in growth during the last
ten years is due to the war as every one
knows. immigration virtually ceased and
there were millions of young men in the
armies who, il they had not been occupied
with the war, would have married and had
children.
The present population is more than
double that Of 1890, and If nothing unfore.
seen happens to prevent it the population
in 1860 will be double that of today.
This moral certainty is enough to justify
the most confident hopes of the young men
of the present generation that the oppor-
tunities which their fathers enjoyed will be
offered to them in some form and even to
their children. All that is needed to win is
eyes to see where the opportunity is.

THE favorable report ordered by the Sen
i ate Finance Committee on the nomina-
ton of David H. Blair. Of North Carolina,
as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, sug
gests new construction Of the word leader
ship.
The enthusiasm of Chairman Penrose for
this candidate named by President Harding
has not been marked. In fact. the senior
Senator from Pennsylvania is said to have
had another man for the post distinctly in
view.
As It would not be In accord with a
familiar political bromide to imply that Mr.
Penrose's own committee is actually ques-
tioning his authority, earnest seekers after
truth are forced to hit upon some other
explanation.
Perhaps the Finance Committee has it's
own notions of what constitutes political
prestige. and is of the opinion that an ele
ment of contrast is necessary in order to
emphasize the full significance of power.
Yes, that must be It. Otherwise one might
be obliged to conclude that Mr.. Penrose' S

What they can accomplish in South

attaching to this word is In part responsible
for the distrust with which certain American
development enterprises piloted from the
North have been regarded. But a majority
Of South Americans will welcome assistance

The natural resources still untouched arc
incalculable. Civilization, which is nothing
more than the proper application of natures
gifts to the need of man, inevitably produces
new wants.
Latin America" says DR.. Bianchi, "has
the land. The business men of the United
States have the money. Europe has the
people" Given, therefore, the liberal in
vestmcnt Of capital and immigration, the
extent to which new markets in South
America may be expanded is almost un-
limited
This is not the view of a shallow boomer,
but of an envoy with a clear realization of
facts. When North Americans come to-
recognize their full significance progress in
the New World will take on a uniformity
which will make hard the way Of the chronic
rcvolutionist and will give to all American
friendship that solid indispensable Of en-
