THE HAGUE. July 1.-THE mystery
OF the abrupt break in the conference
on Russian affairs apparently has
been solved. Despairing Of the pos
sibIlity Of reaching complete agree
ment with the soviet delegates. the
representatives Of the principal west.
ern powers, it seems, have decided to
try an experiment. They will recon-
mend the adoption of an agreement
by which the nationals OF one country
will not pirate the Russian conces-
sions belonging to the nationals OF
another country. and under the cover
of this pact it is expected the private
oil interests of the world will en-
deavor to reach a limited agreement.
The soviets will permit the resump-
ton of oil exploitation in the eau
casus.
There is to be a meeting of repre-
sentatives of the principal oil inter-
ests here next week. 1t Is reported A
representative of the Standard OIL
Company or Its European allies will
attend.
1t Is expected that the United
States will be asked to adhere to the
non-pirating pact. If after a few
months the oil experiment is found to
be successful. some new branch of
Russian industry will be opened up.

URGES MORE LENIENCY
FOR ERRING YOUNG MAN
Writer Says Youth Encouraged to
Waywardness by False
Accusations.
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star.
The public papers of July con-
tanned quite lengthy and sensation
al report narrating the capture Of
one youthful burglar and the shooting
of his companion. How ready the
world is to condemn man when he
has made a mlsstep! Strange how
quick when a man has fallen the
world will add one kick after another!
What an odd, religious world we live
in. so many ready to condemn, and so
few with the outstretched hand to
help and to lead wanderer home!
Consider. for a few moments, the
boy was only nineteen years OF age.
the sole support of mother. OF a
home and of young nephew. Past
experience will prove that the boy at
heart is not what the act he is
charged with now. proclaims him to
be. He has worked hard, and tried to
make good.
For some time he was employed by
one of Washington's largest firms.
under several managers. and for
little over II year under one manager.
Here he worked hard and faithfully.
always congenial and efficient. and
he was honest to the penny. He made
many friends. and won the respect ot
a majority of the customers. Had
the firm for which he had been so
faithful given him IA chance to speak
for himself. or had 1t properly in
vestigated certain accusations, which
were made against him. he might not
have been where he is today. Are not
such services worthy of a hearing In
ones own behalf? 1t Is hard for a
man. much less II boy in his teens, to
live down the disgrace of being dis
charged without hearing and un-
truths put in circulation after his
discharge.
We can safely say, that -tenths
of the young men, growing up In
these times. until after they have
passed their teens are on the fence.
and are easily influenced one way or
the other, according to their asso-
Citations, environments. advantages
and encouragements. 1t takes but
little of the above mentioned mall
treatment to send youth on the
downward path. also 1t takes but ltt-
tie kindness and fellowship to keep
him straight and to inspire him with
love, hope and trust.
There would be fewer young men
falling and better manhood If we
had more uplifters in the world. and
if more of our so-called Christian
people were willing to give a word
Of encouragement. and If there was
less Of public condemnation and
kicking a fellow after he is down.
Statesmen may continue to fashion
their elaborate schemes for the es-
tablishment of universal peace, but
not until men learn to love, live and
let live, and not until men under
stand that the young need kind
word and a friendly hand. will the
dream of universal brotherhood and
lasting peace be realized.

Sousa's Manager Finds
Him a Staple Product

John Philip Sousa's manager, Harry
Askin. whose experience goes back to
the days OF light opera in the United
States, when he was the manager for
Miss Lillian Russell. Miss Marion
Manola. De Wolf Hopper, Digby Bell
and other celebrities. has tabulated the
gross receipts Of Sousa's long tour of
the United States, Canada and the West
Indies the last season, and finds cause
for Joy. as the season now ending may
be called the worst In the amusement
field for many years.
\. Thus the lowest gross receipts for any
Sousa concert on this nationwide tour
were $2,600--obtained In small cities and
towns. The top" was reached in Mont
real. Los Angeles and Havana with
1880 and more" In Mr.. Askins tabu-
lation.
Mr. Askin's explanation OF Sousa's s
prosperity In a season marked by so
much disaster for amusements In general
follows:
IT can reply. to be truthful In my
opinion, only that Sousa Is a staple
product. He Is as essential in the
minds OF vast body of Americans as,
say, white cotton thread or black silk or
calfskin shoes. This season has proved
MY CouteutfoU.
"Let me confess that In July and
August of 1921 we seriously considered a
cancellation of all bookings. although
this would have meant in forfeits on
rentals not less than a loss OF $4,000,
besides complete pay for the band Of
eighty-five men for the entire season
under their contract. We were advised
by many seasoned observer to lay off.
and men outside the amusement busi-
ness also told US that IL would be n
good season for Sousa to devote TO
hunting and shooting and riding and
some composition. and to let his Glen
tele get hungry for him.
Commander Sousa and ! talked II
over and reached this conclusion That
periods OF depression had never operated
against him I'm all the years OF his tour
ing: that he occupied without effective
opposition field which he had beef the
FIRST to plow. SOW. cultivate and harvest.
and that there was an element OF sports
manship in ignoring the calamity cries
OF other enterprises. So we clinched our
bookings, went ahead with our railroad
contracts, and Jared forth. We proved
to be the seasons notable exception.
Why, we even gave a sort OF postscript
season. taking up requests from cities
whose dates fell within the period OF
Mr.. Sousa's illness, that we squeezed In
a spring engagement. That was how we
happened to play Cincinnati, Chicago

USSELES CAREER ONE OF FAME FROM THE START

ago. a film of this nature. with some
such name as Desert Passion" broke
from it's mooripgs and started drifting
around the city. Another picture which
Is just now being shown is one starring
II. B. Warner and called The Sheik of
Araby." which no doubt Is cue that
no pianist in any of the smaller houses
will let escape him. This may or may
not be a photoplay under another name
(which eludes memory-wherein War
ner plowed over the Sahara as an Arab
chieftain without once appearing to be
bothered by getting sand in his shoes.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of this type of picture is that neither
the natives nor the white visitors who
intrude into these torrid regions are ever
seen to mop the perspiration from their
brows.
Another instance Of the extreme irni-
tativeness of movie exhibitors and pro-
ducers Is shown in the fact that the
screen seems likely to be covered soon
by Jackie Coogans. popping up over 1t
like rabbits. Recently there were ex-
hibited three specimens of the species
called by us the infant prodigy and by
the French "renfant terrible" First
there was the Kid himself, unsurpass-
creation-a little girl, made up in pic
ture to look as much like Jackie as
could be done without shipping off her
curls. Apparently there weren't enough
cute little boys In a country Of 100000
900 inhabitants to save the producer
from choosing a frightfully cunning lit
tie girl. One could fancy him say as
he slapped the garments on her, There's
Jacide's cap--and his baggy trousers
and his sweater. What else does this
little girfneed to be famous?"
Likewise there was another little boy
on view, with the same slavish duplica-
ton of costume, even to the angle at
which the exaggerated cap was worn.
and determined expression Of cuteneSs
on his face. Seemingly no amount OF
reasoning could convince these produc-
ers that Jackie succeeds because OF the
innate appeal of a sympathetic little
face, and that he has won popularity
because he Is unique. and not through
being turned out by the gross In sam
pies. But one good result may come OF
this mimicry--it may force Jackie's
managers to take him out Of tho dishev-
eled old garments. which he no more
needs to succeed than he does set of
false whiskers.
