INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

The League of Nations, though
functioning without the cooperation
Of the United States, accomplished
much during the year, chiefly through
Its council, which met in Paris on
February 21 and Immediately referred
proposed amendments to the covenant
to committee. President Wilson,
who during January had withdrawn
the American representatives from the
council of ambassadors and the repa-
rations commission, on February %
sent to the league council a strong
protest against the inclusion of the
island of zap in territories subjected
to the mandate Of Japan, and also
formally demanded for America a
voice In the disposal Of the former
German colonies. The council in re-
ply said it was not concerned with
the ALLEGATION of zap to Japan and
invited the United States to take part
in discussions concerning the Turkish
and African mandates. "A month after
the Republican administration took
office Secretary of State Hughes reit-
Grated Mr.. Wilson's stand concerning
Zap and mandates in general, and
later France and Italy Endorsed Amer
tca's position in the controversy over
the island, though Japan formally re-
fused to give up her mandate. There
after that dispute was the subject of
long drawn-out negotiations between
the United States and Japan which
led to treaty by which the United
States was assured equal rights in
zap and other islands inundated to
Japan.
The council of ambassadors in Janu-
airy gave Germany more time to dis
arm, appointed a commission to pass
on Austrias economic status, decided
that Latvia and Esthonia should be
recognized as sovereign states, and
then fixed the German PREPARATIONS at
226,0OO0O0,OO0 gold marks, payable in
annual installments, and II per cent
tax on exports during the period of
payment. This PREPARATIONS decision
created CONSERVATION in Germany and
Berlin at once began efforts to per-
suade the United States to intervene
in her behalf. The Wilson administra-
ton made no response, but on April

RALPH SPRINGS A NEW
STUNT ON HIS CHUMS

I've got a new one for you fell

he walked up to his chums during
lunch hour at school, OF course,
the fellows wanted to know what
it was.
Few people can do it. and then
only after they've practiced lot, !"
said Ralph. THE idea is to hold
your nose with your right hand
and hold the end of your right ear
with the left hand and then change
from this position to holding your
nose with your left hand and your
left ear with your right hand"
Everybody tried it and every
body got mixed up. Can you do it?

When Mr.. Reno was a boy twelve
wears old. named Edward, he liked
TO do tricks so well that in a short
time he was sent TO Algiers III
North Africa with group OF peo-
p,e to entertain the French army
there. Since then he has travelled
all over the world, entertaining
people with his many sleight-of-
hand tricks as he entertained Rich
mond people Saturday evening,
Sent. 3. Magicians are not an
American product. The vocation IS
age old, and appears in almost eV-
cry country in some shape OF
other. especially In the countries
of the far east. Mr.. Reno was very
much interested in the tricks
which he has seen magicians OF
India and Japan perform. He also
spoke CT Hudin, the clever French
magician.
His First Stage Trick.
The very first trick the boy Ed
ward Reno, ever performed on the
stage was done in Boston, when he
made a bird cage seem to disap-
pear. Since then he has Travelled
about As years as a magician.
Escaped from Ute Indians.
One time in the year 1897, Reno
was travelling in wagon In the
state of Utah. At that time the
Utes were on the warpath, making
war against the Spanish forts. His
party was overtaken and halted.
Immediately Reno began to perform
some of his tricks with their
knives and pistols. The Indians,
who are very superstitious, soon
ceased to threaten the party and
gazed at him in wonder. After
awhile they said they would con-
duct him and his party in safety to
Bountiful, Utah, the village to-
which Reno and his party were go
ing. These Indians wished to make
him a Medicine Man in their tribe,
which they regarded as a great
honor.
In Pawkusky, Okla, Reno was
given the title of Medicine Man by
the Usage Indians, a very wealthy
tribe of American redmen. Each
papoose which is born into this
tribe, Mr.. Reno told the Junior
Editor, is at once the possessor of
$4,000.
Likes Pets and Children
The duck, the laxative one
which appeared and disappeared
so suddenly last Saturday evening,
has been with Reno for eight years
and is named Jimmy.

pink ears, came from North Caro-

SHORT CHILDREN FREE

The Street Railway In Philadel-

no more discussions between tram
conductors and the public as TO
whether a child is of age for full
fare.
Instead of an age limit they have
set height limit of 81 inches, and
children below that height go free,
while their taller comrades have to

World Events
in Brief

The assembly of the League of
Nations has opened for its second
conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
There were 48 nations represented.
When the members of congress
meet again after the recess which
they are now taking, they will take
up at once, ii is expected, the ques-
ton of unemployment.
People of several countries have
organized to relieve the great suf-
fering in Russia. Men represent
ing this organization have sailed
for Russia and will Immediately
start to give food to the hungry
Russian people.
With Herbert Hoover, secretary
of commerce, many men will meet
soon in Washington, ID. c., to talk
over the great national problem of
unemployment in the United
States. Mr.. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American labor Organi-
cation has approved of the steps to
be taken in this conference.
Shall Ireland say yes" or mo"
to Englands latest offer is the
question before many thousands of
people in the British Isles today.
Men representing both the British
and Irish side of the question met
recently and talked things over,
both sides desiring peace. England
has offered to give Ireland the
same freedom of government Can
ada enjoys, called Dominion Rule.
This would let Ireland rule her
own affairs in the lines of taxes
and finance, law, mail service,
education, farming, mining, trade,
labor and health.

FLOATING SCHOOL IN FRANCE

A floating school has been estab-
lished in France on the Seine riy'
er. The children go to this school
who spend their days on the barges
that go up and down the rivers and
canals of France. 1t Is the hope OF
some educators in France that
many such schools can be equipped
for the sake of the children OF the
100 900 people who live in boats on
the waterways of France.
