Paris, May g.
With the promise of the greatest tour
ist invasion in history. the various
French Ministries are seeking new
methods of overcoming the usual OBJ
jections of Americans to what they
term French inefficiency. The French
touring clubs are negotiating with the
Ministry Of Posts and Telegraphs to re-
inforce post office and telegraph per-
sonnel during the summer season, the
additional cost to be borne by CONNER
merce in each locality. 1t is likely also
that the postage on postcards to points
abroad will be reduced so per cent.

Of 100 francs is now applicable both to

only way to escape the penalty is to ar

GERMAN DYES TO STOP

PARIS, May 3 (Associated Press) =
The Preparations Commission has noti-
fed the State Department at Washing
ton that it will terminate the delivery
of German dyes 20 the Textile Alliance
Of America on June 80. Unless the de-
partment officially designates the alli-
ance or some other American agency by
that time the commission will probably
appoint committee to select medium
through which the dyes can be sold in
America. This decision was taken after
the commission had waited nearly six
months for the United States Govern
ment to approve the alliances arrange
ment with the commission.
Officials of the alliance recently made
a new agreement with the German Dye
Alliance through which the American
textile industry was to receive largely
increased deliveries of dyes essential to
the successful development of the indus
try. The hope is expressed in commits
sion circles that this latest action will
move the United States Government to
act before June 80.

On motion of Eamon de Valera the
Dali Eireann late to-day adopted a
resolution ordering the opposing sides
in the Irish Republican army conflict
to cease firing Immediately and ar
range truce.
De Valera said he would like to see
the army executive, which had taken
an independent position, issue e;mi-
lar order. Richard Mulcahy said his
side had done all possible, and Arthur
Griffith declared their men were only
defending themselves. Michael COZ
ment was not political stand.
Griffith pressed De Valera for a def
mite assurance, and the latter said
couriers should be sent to establish an
immediate truce.
Richard Mulcahy seconded De Va
lera's motion to arrange truce, and
after it's adoption the House at Cos

The meeting Of the Dali to-day had
been entirely concerned with the situa-

into the possibility for peace and with
port of the committee. which It is ex-
pected will be ready when the Dali re-
sumes its sessions Friday, neither side
shall engage in hostilities.
The new situation arose out Of the
negotiations Michael Collins and Richard
Mulcahy instituted a week ago with the
dissident army forces. The agreement
then prepared was challenged imme-
diately by the dissident army council as
political dodge intended to split its
ranks, and Eamon de Valera's news
paper condemned 1t on the same
grounds.
But since that article was written a
less hostile attitude has developed inside
the De Valera party. Though the agree

A league of youth would be better
than league of nations, because the
latter is run by older people and de-
-cisions on national matters are more
vital to youth, Sir James NJ. Barrie
told the students of st. Andrews Uni
versity at Glasgow in an address de-
livered to-day when he was installed
rs rector. He spoke at length on
Courage" which, he said, was the
greatest thing in life, adding "all goes
if courage goes"
Sir James philosophical on the world
problems which youth faces. speaking
in that whimsical, inspiring vein which
marks the dramatists greatest plays.
This is my first and last public ap-
pearance," he said. and his quiet -lo-
uuence and the beauty and depth of
his thoughts made a tremendous inn
preston. Among the many typical
barrieisms spoken by Sir James were
these:
when you reach the evening of
your days you will realize with be-
coming cheerfulness that we are all
failures, the least of all and the best
of u.s."

in no legal position to be socked.
Leonard is far too wise in ring lore
to commit a faux pas of that kind,

that. in reality. Benny lost his head.
If so, it was the first time the light

symptoms of ring hysteria.
Another and final point made by
some of the post mortem debaters
was that Leonard, knowing he was
beaten, preferred to lose on a foul
