Mexican-American Scholarships

Mexlcan-Ameflcan SCHOLARSHIPS
 Twenty colleges and universities in the United States have offered free tuition or scholarship to Mexican youths, accord- ing to the Nations Business. American business men have taken steps to, en- courage an interchange of scholarships between this country and the neighbor- ing republic to the south. William A. Peairs of Des Moines, la credited by many with being father of the idea. talked about it recently at meeting Of the foreign trade bureau of the Des Moines Chamber of Commerce. Two firms in that city, his own and the Waterbury Chemical company. are back ing the plan. MT Peairs travels about constantly preaching his idea to business men elsewhere.
 This is one of the most interesting or the plans presented for stimulating bet ter understanding and better feeling be- tween this country and Mexico.

Vanderbilt Fights Suit

Reginald c. Vanderbilt, through his
lawyers, yesterday filed in the Federal
District Court demurrer asking for
the dismissal of the income tax suit
brought against him by the govern
ment. The complaint challenged by
the demurrer states that Mr.. Wander
bilt did not include in his income tax
return for 1915 bequest of $500, 900
left him by the will Of Alfred G. Van
derbilt, who died May Z, 1915.
The government alleges that Mr.. Van
derbilt's net taxable income for 1915
was 654,779.91. Judgment is asked
by the government for $30,o93.ss, to-
gether with a penalty of 5 per cent a
month from June 80. 1916. The de-
murrer states that the complaint does
not give sufficient facts.

Irish and Patriotic
Societies Plan to
Greet Admiral Sims
World War Veterans Who
Favor Recognition of Erin
Will Offer Resolutions:
Whitney Asks Welcome

More than 1000 World War vet
Grams. members of the American Asso-
citation for the Recognition of the
Irish Republic, will march to the White
Star Line pier to welcome Admiral
William Snowden Sims on his arrival
here next week This announcement
was made last night by Major Michael
A. Kelly. formerly OF the i65th In
fantry, who Will command the con-
tingent.
Major Kelly said that the veterans
would be in full uniform. They will
be drawn up outside the pier. When
Admiral Sims leaves the liner he will
lie presented with set of resolutions
thanking him for his much discussed
London addresses. Major Kelly said
that the vote of thanks was being ex-
tended to Admiral Sims because his
anti-Sinn Fein remarks had brought
an added interest to the Irish cause,
with the result that membership in the
American Association for the Recogni-
tion of the Irish Republic has taken a
marked jump.
Major Kelly said that strict order
would be maintained throughout she
ceremony of presenting the resolutions
and that no violence or untoward act
would be countenanced.
Caspar Whitney, the author, issued
a call from his home at the Gramatar
I'm, Bronxville, N. Y, last night re-
.questing all Americans who endorsed
Admiral Sims's view on the hyphenat-
Ell citizen to be at the dock to greet

press their recognition of his service

progress of the disarmament fcelcrs
was vouchsafed at the White House,
although there is much interest here
in the suggestion from English sources
that perhaps the ciearest and most deti-
mite terms in which n disarmament
agreement could be found would be in
terms of money.
For instance, under this plan the
United States might agree to bind it.
self not to spend, for its navy, more
than S20o.000,o00 year, while Britain
might agree not to spend more than
that amount expressed in pounds
sterling, and Japan might be limited to
either that amount, or perhaps q
smaller amount, translated into yen.
This sort of plan, it was pointed out,
would hurdle with ease some Of the
difficulties which have been befogging
the discussions 80 far and which have
made disarmament look so unattain-
able.
There would be no complication as to
the comparative strength of the exist
ing fleets or the building programs, and
no possible technical discussions or
differences Of opinion between experts.
Further, this Sort of understanding
would bring home TO the peoples of
each nation just what was being done
in the way Of saving taxes.

Boy, 8, Held Prisoner
By Arm From Roof EDGE

In an effort to catch little bird that
ne had watched all spring making it's
nest under the caves of his home, Ber-
tram Shanahan, eight years old, risked
his life yesterday afternoon and almost
lost it. With one arm caught under a
board in the cornice of his home, at
Tyndall and 257th streets, the Bronx,
Bertram was suspended three stories
above the street for more than twenty
minutes, while policemen and firemen
worked frantically to rescue him.
Scores of persons saw the boys
plight and some one ran nearly a mile
to ,the nearest police booth to obtain
aid.
When the police, reinforced by two
inrenen who were off duty, reached the
house the boy was exhausted. Men in
she crowd shouted encouragement as
TWO patrolman climbed to the roof and
prepared to loosen the board which
nesd Bertram's arm in a vice-like grip.
Another patrolman and the two fire
men went to the third floor of the
house. and, reaching from window,
raised the boy by his feet, so that the
men on the roof were then able to
break away the board. Bertram then
was lifted into his home He was un-
injured. but said he was through with
olroS temporarily.

WASHINGTON, June IT. Positive
denial that any draft of plan for an
association of nations had been for
mnlated by or for the Harding Ad-

House to-day. This was the result of
publication Of dispatches to this effect
as result of Hamilton Holts letter

1t was made clear that while some

Meanwhile, it was pointed out, this

IN America, except among people who
were misinformed, but in any case, ne
declared, there was no reason for such
apprehension or to misconceive Great
Britain's determination to maintain
frlendly relations with her American
kinsmen
Sir Samuel Hoare, also speaking
concerning the agenda of the confer
ence, made strong plea that the con-
ference consider among it's most ur-
gent duties the removal of any diff
terence which might at present exist
between the various branches of the
Angio-Saxon race" He urged that in
framing the Anglo-Japanese treaty it
pc modltied SO as to meet American
objections as far as possible.
referring to Anglo-American rela-
tons, Sir Samuel said he hoped that
during the imperial conference "our
own representative and the imperial
prem1ers will be kept in closest touch
Wltn public opinion in the United
STATES ana with its represe natives
mere, There is scarcely any sacrifice I
Would not undertake to strengthen
that friendship"
turning to the Anglo-Japanesa ALI
snce, Sir Samuel said he thought no
alliance should be signed that would
be likely to embitter English relations
with any of the six British common
Wealths or with the United States. He
declared: There is reason to think
that the Anglo-Japane alliance, in it's
present form, has esnbittered feeling in
the United States and has occasioned ID
a good deal of anxiety in Australia and
other British domlnions."
Regard for China. Also
He added that If the alliance were
renewed it must be- modified first of all
to meet the just demands Of China and,
so far as possible, American objections.
Referring to the question of separate
Canadian representation in Washing
ton, Sir Samuel said: 'If Canada wishes
separate diplomatic representation in
Washington, or Australia in Toxic. it,
being an independent commonwealth,
should be perfectly free to have it."
This declaration was greeted with
cheers.
Sir Samuel said it was solely ques-
tion of convenience and he did not
bother himself with the hypothetical
question Of what was to happen if the
Canadian Ambassador in Washington
and the British Ambassador there dis.
agreed, or with other hypothetical
questions not in the least likely to
arise

enough to make every effort to arrive
at a solution of the points under dis
cussion between them and the United

whole question of mandates before the

Toward the end of his note DR.. da
Cunha says:
Il venture to express to the Allied
governments my hope that, even if an
agreement cannot Immediately be

before the British minister turns home
ward again the most serious beginnings
will have been made OH the alliance
question.
The moderation of the attitudes of
both Paris and Berlin has made more
possible the inclusion of Germany in
Allies are now convinced that Germany
is going to continue to strive to fulfill
her obligations, and to make rapproche-
ment complete. Nobody here suffers
from any illusions about republican
Germany's recuperatiye powers once
the treaty observance machinery gets
to working smoothly and becomes a
matter of routine. The belief prevails
in Paris that the possibility of the
overthrow Of republicanism in Ger
many by the junkers is remote and will
be even more so with a common Anglo
French policy.
Germany to Get Benefit of Doubt
But it is realized that Europe's fu-
ture demands that Germany be given
some equality OF position with her for
mer enemies and the benefit OF every
doubt, as long as the sincerity of her
e-SStSeNS t0Noi0 tiiC VI VIC
treaty is not open to question.
With Franco-British alliance, in
cluding a frank agreement with Ger
many. even admitting her to the new
peace pact, the Allies would have
brought the situation to a point where
the United States could heartily join"
AS far as Europe is concerned, the po-
sition of the Harding Administration is
known only in the results of soundings
taken by European ambassadors and the
Presidents statement in April that the
United States rejected the league, but
would mot surrender our hope and aim
for an association of nations to pro-
mote peace, in which we would heartily
join" 1t is realized, however, in both
London and Paris that President Har-
ding is not disposed to rush in on a
European coalition until he is con-
vinced that the sole aim of such a
combination is the furthering of world
peace. 1t is also known that the Presi-
dent desires to await preliminary
move from this side of the water in
order that he may study all angles Of
the situation carefully.
