WASHINGTON. Aug. 17-The most

BickneH Confirms Tales
OF Suffering in Russia
Sp>ciaj Cable to The Tribune

Copyr 9ht, 1891. New York Tribune Inc.
PARIS, Aug. determination Of
alarming reports of conditions in the
famine districts of Russia was brought
here o-day BY T. P Ricknell, American
Red Cross commissioner in Europe
who returned to Paris this evening
from the International Red Cross
meeting at Gene, =, where he inter
viewed Russian delegates.
The Russian delegates opposed to
the Soviet government presented a
lengthy report, throwing the blame Tor
the disaster on the misrule of the
Soviets as much as on the drought.
Great hordcs of grasshoppers, they
said had added to the devastation,
consuming the little that the peasants
crops.
The peasants first planted smaller
areas, the Russians said, because of
the Soviet acquisitions, and then found
the drought killing what little they
had hoped to gather for their own
support The grasshoppers then
swarmed down on them and took the
pitifully small yields before they
could be gathered.
The central famine area was de-
scrbcd as six and half times as
large as Switzerland. One aged So
Wet delegate. former minister in
kerensky's Cabinet, explained that
"Moscows all-Russian famine commit
tee" is composed of sixty persons, OF
whom only ten are Communists, the
rest being old intellectuals Of the
czarst regime on whom the Sovicts
called Cor help in the famine crisis.
The Russian delegates generally de-
scrbed the agonizing plg ~images o.
the Russians in search OF food as grim
and terrible, saying that cxaggsration
of the scenes enacted was hardly pos
sblc Their accounts confirmed count
less reports Of babies abandoned, aged
people dying like flies and others fee
ING with no idea of their destination.
Mr.. Bicknel believes that the request
Of the joint Red Cross committee, that
Herbert Hoover direct American relief
efforts and Dr.. Manson head European
efforts, may prove embarrassing to
Mr.. Hoover, at least. because the reso-
luton calls on Mr. Hoover to appoint
either a personal representative or
some one representing the American
government in the event that he de-
cines the task.
The United States already is pledged
to appoint three representatives to the
inter governmental mission arranged
by the Supreme Council in Paris.
France is preparing to name General
Pau head of the French army Red
Cross and a specialist on Russian al
fairs. and NJ Giraud, former head of
the French Chamber Of Commerce at
Moscow.
Major Allen. American Red Cross
Commissioner in Poland. arrived in
Paris TODAY and announced that in re-
markahle contrast to the famine which
vas sweeping Russia, Polish crops were
the largest in her history. General
Allen is seeking instructions on how TO
deal with the Russian refugees over

"A general reduction, Of course, will
result in the greatest possible economy
and money saving for the people Of
the world. One great reason for the
reduction of ornaments is that it will
mean great economy. ! hope it will
also promote peace, but general re-
duction of armam ents is primarily nee
q sary to relieve the people of the
world of the burdens under which they
are now staggering"
Senator Harrison arose to advocate
an amendment which he had offered to
the pending deficiency bill instructing
the American delegates to the disarma-
ment conference to insist on open SEES
sions. He spoke in favor Of having the
conference open to the newspapers and
the public.

Senator Harrison commended the ap-

that Senator Borah be made ore of the

President Gives No Hope of
Naming Woman for Arms Farley
Voters League Delegation Calls and Urges Appoint
ment; Members Attack Miss Robertson
Because of Her Opposition

From The Tr,bwne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.--Thc Pres-
dent was urged to-day by a committee
of women from the National League of
Women Voters to name woman mem
Der to the American disarmament con-
ference delegation. The President in
reply extended little hope that he would
comply with the request
The women who called on the Prcsi-
dent did not recommend the appoint
ment Of any particular woman be-
cause they said that such action was
not permitted by their organization.
The delegation included Mrs. Maud
Wood Park, of Washington; Mrs: Rich
ard Edwards, of Indiana Mrs. Clifford
Pinchot. of Milford. Pa, and Mrs. Min
ME Fisher Cunningham, of Texas. Mrs.
Pinchot sad after Che conference that
it was doubtful if more than five or
six women in the United States pos
sessed the qualifications requisite to
sitting as member of the American
comm ission. The members of the dele
cation we're firm in declining to name
even one woman whom they considered
fitted to serve.
The President told the delegation
that he welcomed their support of the
plan to call q disarmament conference
and said: ~ am very anxious to have
the influence and intuition of women
utilized at this great conference and
it is hoped that such an arrangement
can be worked out satisfactorily" -
The members Of the commi ssion took
exception unreservedly to the state
ment made yesterday by Miss Alice
Robertson, the only woman Representa-
tive in Congress, that there was not a
woman in the United States qualified.
Mrs. Park, the president of the league,
said:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-08-18

Miss Robertson makes the mistake
Of assuming that international affairs
should be arranged solely by Aiplo-
mats. The war has taught us that
the great masses of the people should
be represented in international agree
ments. realize that women have not
had opportunity for training in diplo-
matte procedure, but since women have
special responsibility for human life
| believe that the womans point Of
view, if represented at the confer
ence, would be of farreaching value.
Moreover, really repre- sentative
much to assure the sympathy and sup
port of the women of other countries "
Mrs. Edwards, first president,
said:
GAS a Republican woman l regret
the newspaper prominence being given
a woman Of Miss Robertson's type
Herself q political accident, in her
contempt of women and their ability,
her total ignorance Of women and wom-
ems affairs, she fortunately in no way
represents women, though she sits as
the only woman in Congress. Ac-
tuallv what Miss Robertson says or
thinks is negligible. The women in my
part Of the country know that she
never responded to the demands Of
women, nor concerned herself with the
things women's organizations were de-
veloping throughout the country
The Women's Committee for World
Disarmament will suggest to President
Harding the following women as can
didates for a place on the American
delegations Emily Balch, New York {;

ONE HIGH SCHOOL A DAY
For Twenty-Eieht Years That Has
Eeen the Record This Coun-
try Has Made.

In pamphlet on high schools in
this country. issued by the federal bu-
reau of education, 1t is stated that the
total number of these schools in 1917
1S was 1851. The mailing list of
the bureau includes the names of
16,3OO high schools. The number
of these schools has increased over
452 per cent since 1890. This means
that one high school has been estab-
lished in this country each day in
each calendar year since 1S9O-a high
school day for 2S years.
In 1890 6O.S per cent of the high
schools We're under public control, but
In 1918 the pubic-controlled high
schools were 81 per cent Of the whole.
The average size of city high
school is 653 students and of a rural
school 80 students.
In 1890 only 312 persons in each
1000 population were enrolled in pub
lie high schools. In 1918 the corre-
spending number was 1875, or almost
five times as great proportion. Cali
fornia leads in high-schoOl education,
with 81 persons out of each 1000 in
the population. Kansas Is a close sec
ond, with South Carolina at the bot
tom of the list, with 5.3 persons.

The yellow World.

II Is easy to see why China's i'm
peria color is yellow, writes cor
respondent from Yangste river. Her
rivers are yellow, her long plains are
yellow-especially in famine year
such as this, and as for her seaS-the
boundaries of her world-so desert
yellow is their color that string of
camels crossing them would look more
in keeping than string of junks,
And so one can understand why the
very heart of the heart of China, the
Imperial city, should lie like SHIN
mering lake of golden tiles within her
lotus-besieged walls. Even against the
evidence of my own eyes cannot be-
lieve that the Great Wall is built Of
solid ordinary stones laid one upon the
other. Rather it seems moulded out
of the stuff OF which the mountains
themselves We're made, long ago when
the world was plastic and empty of
all save possibilities. There never
was so sinuous thing as the Great
Wall built by men, think. so sinuous
and so aspiring.

Explanation OF this strangest of all
