FRENCH ARE ENJOYING TREAT FROM STOCK OF
 AMERICAN CANNED GOODS
By .Associated rress

Paris, June 1.-The vast stock or canned foods left in France by the American army and now being sold to the public is proving a boon to the French housewife.
 She IS now able to go to her usual grocery store and buy canned goods really canned in America. and con taining labels in real English--at a price which is sometimes 300 per cent cheaper than the same variety Of food canned by the French.
 String beans salmon, tuna fish corned beef. potted ham, combina- tons of vegetables and meat of va rious kinds and many others are now obtainable from the stock ot things the American army left be- hind and sold to the French govern ment.
 Many of these things. pork and beans, for instance, were virtually unknown to the French until the American army came to France All are products of the best known American packers and 1t is striking that the average French housewife says American canning methods are better than the French.

QUESTION FOR ANGLERS. WHY DO MACKEREL SWIM
 FROM LEFT TO RIGHT?
By Associated Press on E'nO Innn

Brighton, Eng, June 1.-The question why the mackerel in the aquarium here always swim from left to right around the rock in theIr tank and never vary the direction of their endless journey, has puzzled many; and even when the question was recently asked at a meeting of the Sussex sea fisheries committee no one was able to supply the infor- nation At a later meeting of the committee the clerk offered so- lution of the question.
 He said he had received a letter from Mrs. Gilbert of Greencaste, Ia. who said she had read an ar ticle in an American paper about this mystery. She was of the opin- ion that the reason for the one-way swimming of the mackerel was that they swan in harmony with nature, or, in other words with the motion of the earth.
 The letter has been sent to the British board of agriculture.

 New York. June 1.--(Special )-- It's bees splash week on the Red Cross calendar, with all New York offered free instruction in swimming. But on the police calendar it's been smash week in capital letters. More laws have been broken than there are cells to lodge the breakers. The variety of the crimes has about drained the headline writers
 Foremost in interest have been Mrs. Eva Kaber and her daughter, Marion McArdle, both accused of complicity in the murder of Mrs. Kaber's second husband. Though the crime was committed in Ohio, over two years ago, it's shadow reached at last to the door of the fashionable millinery shop opened by the widow in downtown New York. Fluttering among the flowers and straw and laces, the widows firm, white hands, were the last ones which any custo- mer would suspect of holding things so sinister as a poison bottle, or a dagger Dignified eomposure is the widows salient trait. She was not shaken from it by her own attempt the surgeons swift work in staunch- ing the wound and baking her eff fort,
 Marion McArdie. on the other hand, is frankly broken by the accusation. White. tear stained looking less than her 20 years. she is a pitiful figure protesting again and again her in- nocence. It is a curious psychological twist which causes the average man to doubt the girls guilt. Why? Be- cause she has been student at Smith college, and college girls don't mix with homicide.

ion as to whether the terms of agree ment have been Loyalty observed. but the allegation that it has been or could be inspired by hostile sent. ments towards the United States is an allegation put forward only in ignorance or tmalice,
 In the discussion as to the renewal 1t should be remembered that Great Britain is to consult her overseas dominions and that their viewpoint m regard to far eastern affairs is tae same as that of the United States No agreement with Great Britain if possible which runs counter to the feeling and sentiment of the Eng fish speaking peoples of the world
 The idea is fantastic
 Yet if is upon the assumption that this had done that suspicion and ill will has been engendered between people who ought to be marching abreast and forward Tn the interests of peace and world settlements
 The moral of it all is plain. It is to be critical or sectional alliances and to oppose any for any purpose which may hinder or impede an until mate alliance of all the nations for the good of all
 strealSs of Light-
 It is well, however, just now to welcome the few faint streaks of light that pierce the general gloom on the international horizon It is in that spirit l have noted the speech of the new German chancellor, Dr, Wirth, in which he told the Germans they were a beaten people and that they must make amends for their past misdeeds by work ana frugality. This speech should help to dispel the illusions of the mulish miiitaritsts who stoll afflict that country. Already it has been hailed in the allied countries as a welcome sign of coming sanity and good faith on the part of the German govern- ment
 On the question of Silesia and the reduction of naval armamenss there also is improvement to be noted. On the first there is less friction between france and Great Britain. On the second some progress has been made toward a wider common agreement. The "feeiers", of America appear to be taking root
 But the international situation gen. orally is such as to try the temper of a Mary Tapley. Austria is falling to pieces and Germany has shown at Leipsic but little change of heart The Greeks and the Turks still are engaged in the active art of killing. Armenia. slowly bleeds to death with no hand outstretched to save her
 There are other evidences of a world distraught. The one which is perhaps not so striking, but none the less disturbing, is the proposal lo diVlde the world once more through the sectional alliances to which refer. shce mas already been made.

GREAT BRITAIN SEES FRICTION AND ILL WILL IN ALLIANCE
The Anglo Japanese Combine Should Be a Warning and May Not Be Renewed
 When Term Expires

 Special Wireless Dispatch 10 The Age
 Herald
 tCopyright. 1921, by The Age-HeraId) opposes n special alliance with France and believes thnt all sectional alliances arc bad, including the An- gIo-Japancsc alliance which has caused so much friction and i'll feel ing and which is up for renewal next month. Mir. Barnes believes it may not be renewed. Sectional alliances tend to divide the world into rival groups and to icnd back again to war.
 London, June 11.-(Special. )-The proposal of a separate treaty of al- liance between France and Great Britain is a thoroughly bad one.
 All sectional alliances should be avoided and condemned.
 The Anglo-Japanese agreement should be a warning. It has been the peg upon which mischief makers have fastened for the purpose of intensifying national vanities and prejudices.
 This agreement may not be re-
  next month. Certainly it will not be renewed in it's old form
 As to the proposed Franco British alliance. it will be remembered that when the peace treaty was drawn up in Paris in 1919, protocols were signed by which Great Britain and the United States were to be brought under obligation to protect France against possible future aggression by the Germans The treaty did not ma terialize because of ratification by the United States. But the idea Is now being revived and amplified In regard to it's objects. It is sug- gested that Great Britain alone shall undertake responsibility and that there shall be a new alliance.
 Belgian Foreign Minister
 The Belgian foreign minister chimes in at Brussels with the sug- gestion that Belgium should have n place in the agreement.
 In denouncng this proposition as bad one, l realize that the 1919 agreement had it's dangers, but at least the obligation was clear and it was temporary. On the part of the United States and Great Britain 1t was an agreement between peoples or the same language and same ideals. A new alliance binding only  one of these parties in a pursuit of objects not clearly defined, and with peoples of different language and ideals, would be full of graver dan ger.
 It might even lead to rival group Ing Of nations. and to another war. It would certainly lead to division sno confusion where there should De unity and clarity. Take the An gio-Japanese agreement for example irresponsible persons have said il has prejudicially affected, or might pre9udicially affect American inter ests. These statements are quite un- true, Tor the objects were and are confined to the maintenance of peace ana interests of the contracting pFr- lies In eastern Asia and India, ani The independence of China and tre maintenance of equal opportunities Tor commerce and industry of all natures in that country.
