LONDON, Sept. 5.--The police
here expect as a matter of course
that q certain number of visitors
will be victimized each summer bv
ancient confidence tricks, but a
police court hearing to-day re-
yealed that there was at least one
American who didn't bite. He is
Alexander M. Watson, a retired
major of the Marine Corps, who,
when approached by affable
strangers with fortune to dis
tribute received them cordially
and notified the police.
When the time came for him to
hand over the cash, receiving as
security a sealed envelope-which
always turns out to be filed with
waste paper instead Of bank notes
he gave the signal to waiting
detectives who arrested three sun
posed tricksters. A Marylehone
magistrate to-day committed then,

GENEVA, Sept. 5.-The conviction
that efforts to impose disarmament on
the world cannot yet be realized from
the technical side gained ground to-
day at the beginning Of the third as
sembly of the League of Nations here.
Consequently the leagues activities
are rapidly evolving from the techni-
cal to the moral side;,.in other words,
working toward the elimination of the
possible causes Of conflict which auto
matically would result in cutting down
the technical means of warfare.
The Tribune correspondent is in
formed that Lord Robert Cecil, one of
the strongest advocates of revolution
izing the leagues methods on the dis
armament question, is awaiting a pro-
pitious moment at this assembly to
bring up the combined question of rep
arations and inter-Allied debts. Lord
Robert, who represents South Africa
here, believes that these two problems
are the most potent breeders of Euro
pean dissension, and that while they
are unsettled, it is hopeless for the
league to attempt to reduce the tech
nical means of warfare. He believes
no nation would openly oppose any
armament reduction proposition, but
while great political questions are in
the air, with national policies clashing,
no nation is going to agree to demo-
bilize single bayonet, or, in the event
of war, restrain the most terrible
means of winning
Seeks Appeal of Forty-four Nations
Lord Robert thinks the leagues
newly organized committee dealing
with the reduction of armaments
should devote its time and energy to
promoting moral disarmament. AS a
member of the committee and charged
with outlining it's plan before the AS
sembly soon, Lord Robert, it was
learned, is striving to include in it's re-
port an appeal from all forty-four ma
tions in the Assembly for a settlement
Of debts and reparations. In the mean
time efforts here are being directed
toward settlement of the Franco
British difficulties.
Lord Roberts plan has no connec-
ton with the British government, as
he is sitting as member of the South
african delegation, but thus far he
las had considerable support for his
scheme. which his position as one of
the keenest brains in the league natu-
rally dictates. No inkling of this plan
has yet reached the government at
Paris, although there is reason to be-
lieve that some members of the French
delegation are cognizant of it.
In British secretariat circles to-day
it was suggested that there was such
Eope for Lord Roberts project that
the appearance of Premier Lloyd
George himself before the Assembly
closes is possible, and it is known that
the South African representative and
ether officials are looking forward to
such an eventua1ity. y, "

See vindication of Ratnenau

BERLIN, Sept. 5 By The Associated
Press The opinion of the German
press on the Stinnes-de Lubersac con-
tract is that it represents the first fruits
OF the Wiesbaden agreement for German
industry, and that it incidentally is a
vindication of the reparation policy
inaugurated by the late Foreign Minis
ter, DR.. Walther Rathenau. The point
is stressed that the agreement marks
the first step toward overcoming French
hostility in the devastated region
SHINES has formally notified the
government of the agreement with NJ de
Lubersac, and, while officials here have
not yet expressed themselves respect
ing his independent action, it is gem
orally assumed that the government
will not oppose the pact. 1t is even
limited in some quarters that Herr
Stinnes's procedure will be welcome
and that his initiative will materially
contribute to accelerating an eventual
Franco German understanding
The "Vossische zeitung" thinks the
agreement shows that France has i'm
plicit faith in the signature of SHINES,
while the "Boersen Courier" expresses
belief that the French organization in
volved in the contract has by the con-
clusion of the agreement expressed lack
ness of the Paris government to effect
reconstruction. 1t declares that the
German government, however, is in
no wise disgraced through this "energy
of great industrialism."
SHINES to Receive Per Cent
The newspaper says the contract
would seem to be purely private busi-
ness arrangement, but that it was pre-
ceded by the Wiesbaden agreement,
which was negotiated by member of
the government. 1t notes that the
textual provisions Of the contract make
the duration Of the agreement and it's
stipulations conform with the Wies-
baden agreement The contract pro-
videD for 6 per cent commission to
SHINES, which, it is stated, will "be in
cluded in the sum with which Germany
will be credited for actual deliveries
of goods in kind"

Vincent Astor Backs Air Line
Between New York and Newport

subscriptions more than equaled the
amount demanded.
1t is planned to have the seaplane
leave New York on Friday afternoons
The trip will take less than two hours,
landing the passengers in time for
dinner The flying boat will be capable
of carrying from twelve-ato fourteen
persons. 1t will return to New York
every Sunday afternoon.
Numerous trips to and from New
York by Vincent Astor's hydro-mono-
plane this year indicate that a regu-
lar air line is feasible. Another point
that influences the promoters was the
recent decision of the New Haven
Railroad 20 discontinue permanently
the Wexford line after September I'd.
Travellers by rail then will have to 20

PARIS, Sept. (By The Associated

areas has just been completed by Hugo
SHINES, German industrial leader, and
Senator de Lubersac, representing

be examined tomorrow by the special
government committee charged with
consideration of deliveries of merchan-
disc by Germany.

The negotiations were authorized
under the French agreement con-
cluded by M. Gillet, the French comp
troller, in Berlin on June 3 last. The
final consent of the government is ex-

effective carrying out of this accord

I'LL Man Transferred at Sea

The steamship President Garfield, of
the United States Lines, brought to
port yesterday on her run from London
John w. Miller, seaman of New Or
leans, who had been stricken with
pneumonia on board the American
freighter Morranus.
While eastbound on August IL the
Garfield received radio at night from
the freighter describing Miller's symp-
toms and asking for treatment. The
Garfeld's surgeon prescribed, but there
was no medicine aboard the freighter.
The Garfield then went out of her
course covering ninety-eight miles and
took Miller aboard. The Garfield took
him to London and brought him back

KIPLING ON AMERICA.

Rudyard Kipling's latest fling at
America has just enough truth in it to
make it sting more than his taunts usu-
ally do. Many Americans thave wished
that this country had got into the war
little earlier and stayed In it a little
longer. With these concessions ma de, it
is easy enough to demonstrate the fun
damental injustice of the Kipting attack
His charge that America was respon-
sible for the premature termination of
the fighting and the easy armistice terms
is quickly repudiated in Paris and Lon
don with the explanation that it! was the
with the explanation that it was the
French and British authorities who had
their way in the armistice, while the
American authorities wanted to- carry
the war straight to Berlin.
AS for America going into the war
"for gold" and 'having the worlds gold"
as a result, that is merely silly. Any
mind capable of dealing with business
statistics can find out approximately
what the war has cost America in dol
lars. 1t may be $4,000, 100000 so far,
oic way anu ullOlHcI, .Ine lOSt
loans to the allies. And America is the
only one of the victors that put in no
claim whatever for reparation, so there
is no chance of getting any of it back.
The taunt might be flung back, too,
that if this country did get the money,
Great Britain got the land. Her terri
torial possessions have been increased
by some 100000 square miles. Eng
lishmen themselves are pointing out
these facts.
But all such disputation between ma
tons gets nowhere, except to make I'M
necessary trouble. Americans can we'll
| afford TO let our clear-headed English
friends take care of Mr.. Kipling.
