America and the World Court.


The recent announcement OF Charles
Evans Hughes. secretary of state,
thar there Is no prospect for any
treaty or convention by which the
United States would share In the
maintenance Of the permanent court
Of international justice, until some
provision Is made by which, wit.s-
oHt membership IN the League of
Nations. this government would be
able TO have appropriate voice In
the election Of judges, has brought
to the administration many express
sions Of regret from lawyers in vari-
Gus sections Of the country,
Until the secretary Of state made
his announcement the impression pre-
vailed that this government was near
ing membership III the international
court. Unaer his decision the United
States will remain on the outside UNI
less:
4. This government takes member
ship In the League of Nations
2 The constitution Of the court is
changed so as TO permit the United
States to participate in the election
Of judges without being a member Of
the League Of Nations.
There is small prospect of either
one of these things being done In the
immediate future Under the consti-
tuition Of the court the judges are
chosen by the council and assembly
III the League of Nations. The au.
thorities here do not expect the ma
tions that hold membership in the
league to change the method Of cleo
ton Of judges just to please this gov
eminent.
America Satisfied With the Judges
Elihu Root, former secretary of state
and former senator, who is regarded
as one Of the foremost lawyers IN the
United States, wrote the constitution
OF the international court. There is
the disposition in some quarters to say
that the excuse which the United
States has offered for not joining in
the support Of the court is not a valid
one. In this connection it Is pointed
out that this government Is entirely
satisfied with the judges chosen by
the council and assembly Of the
League Of Nations. one Of these
judges is John Bassett Moore Of this
city, whose election was heartily APP
proved throughout America.
Since Secretary Hughes made his
interesting announcement as to why
this government does not become
member Of the court, there has been
good deal Of quiet conversation I'm
high places to the effect that maybe
the secretary Of state win, when the
proper time comes, make use of the
situation he has outlined az an argu-
ment IN favor Of the United States
becoming a member Of the League Of
Nations.
In this connection, 1t is recalled that
the Republican party In It's last na<
tional convention advocated the for
nation Of an international court ar
the cornerstone Of tic association OF
nations and that Mr.. Harding adyo-
Gated the creation Of such a court.

 GOOD CHANCE IN
 WEST, HULL SAYS
"Newberryism" Will Be Big Issue, Party Leader As- SertS, After Tour of
 Western States
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald,
 800 Davidson Building

Washington. April 23.-(Special.)- cordell Hull, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee. returning to Washington after tour of the
 west, reports prospects for demo- cratic victory unusually good. He dselares that he was surprised, all though information had reached him that indications forecast a material reduction of the republican Congress.
 The issue in the congressional campaigns, said the chairman. will be the comparative record of the democratic and republican adminis-
 trations, domestic business condi- tions and '.Newberryism."
 Regarding "Newberryism." MT. Hull issued the following statement:
 The Newberry case has become notorious throusnout the nation. IL sharply raised the clean-cut issues of whether seats in the United States Senate are for sale.- After careful deliberat.on upon the full and uncol- troyerted facts, the republican lead CTS now in control of the govern ment unblushingly answered in the affirmative. Thls means that any office is for sale, and that the cor rupt use of money to influence any governmental agency for any pur- pose, no matter how selfish or fiend- ish, is a part of the political prac- tice or many of those who are today in high places at Washington. in

London, April -24.-An agreement has been reached between the mili- tary leaders of the republican and Free State forces in Ireland, says a dispatch to the Westminster Gazette from Dublin, which will constitute the basis for peaceful arrangements in connection with the future policy of both sides and profoundly in- fluencel events in southern Ireland for the better.
 The correspondent claims authority for this announcement and says he understands that in consequence of the agreement arrived at hostilities between the rival forces are to cease, although the political issue between the two parties is not af- fected.
 The decision. it is added. followed negotiations between the respective leaders, who have been deeply in- fluenced by the .fratricidal character of the struggle as well as by consid- erations upon the national situation.

STORY OF ARMED
 MARCH WILL BE
 HEARD IN COURT
Trial of Miners Indicted for Participation in Battles Last Fall Will Start
 Today
By Associated Press

Charlestown, w. Va, April 23.- The trial of those indicted in another part of the state for alleged partici- patton in the armed march and skir- mishing in Logan county last fall is scheduled to open here tomorrow, and the men and women destined to fig ure in the proceedings have been ar irving here in large numbers for the past several days.
 The only event In the otherwise quiet Sabbath of this town was the arrival of a special train early this morning bringing from Logan 12o persons, mostly state witnesses. and nine prisoners who had not been ad- mitted to bail since their arrests shortly after the armed march" of last summer. These were in charge of Sheriff H. E. Keadle, of Logan county, assisted by two Logan dep uties, who acted as guards on the train.
 These prisoners were marched in pairs, handcuffed, from the railroad station to the new county jail here. Between 300 and 400 other defendants, witnesses and relatives were in town today, having arrived in the past two days to await opening of the trials Monday.
 Meet Train
 A committee of business men of Charlestown met the special tram this morning and offered housing accommodations to the new arrivals as they had done for those previously coming in, but found their aid not needed. Today's arrivals were ac- commodated at a hotel here and others in Harpers' Ferry, eight miles distant.
 So ready has been the response of Charlestown citizens to lodge the visitors that officials of the United Mine Workers who have arrange ments in charge. have found it un- necessary to make use of tents as had been planned.
 Many of the defendants and other visitors attended church services to- day and wUrdk Of welcome were tttnS dered from the pulpits, while refer ehces to the coming trials were made in clergymen's prayers and sermons
 The defendants are easily recog- nizable on the streets by narrow pink ribbon badges, bearing the words "U. M. w. A. of A, Defendant" while sim liar badges of blue have been pre- pared for defense witnesses.

The undersigned desire to ac- knowledge the receipt of your reply to their note of April IS, indicating the attitude that they felt bound to adopt In view of the treaty concluded by the German and Russian delega- tions.
 They note with satisfaction that the German delegation realizes the concern of a separate treaty with Russia on matters falling within the purview of this conference renders undesirable that the delegation should participate in the future in the discussion of the conditions of an agreement between Russia and the various countries represented in the conference.
