lies at The Hague IN June 10 to ap-
point commissions of experts TO study
the Russian problem in detail.

statement indicating Russia would ac-
cept The Hague commission proposal

the faces Of the Russian delegation
and particularly it's chief, NJ. Tchitch-

AT the same time is permits prepara'

continue.
Plan Near Collapse.
Russia had announced it would not
accept commission that did not pro.
vide for full Russian membership and
on this point the Lloyd George plan
threatened TO collapse.
The Russians were formally invited
to meet the committee of allied eX-
pertS at The Hague. the tentative date
being SET for June &c. This will give
the allies eleven days (from June 49,
to appoint the commission and to get
it in working order to begin it's in
veStigation.
The Russian acceptance came after
Premier Lloyd George, upon hearing
of the first refusal to accept by the
soviet delegation had said:
"lf Russia refuses to meet us at
The Hague we will have nothing more
10 say to the Russians"
Means Equality
Foreign Minister Schanzer of Italy
then acted as mediator and explained
to the Russians they would be in a po-
sition of equality at Genoa, and Lloyd
George said:
"The plan for a meeting at The
Hague means complete equality The
Russians will take their commission
TO The Hague and the allies will take
theirs, There is no difference between
that and a mixed commission"
The British premier paused mo-
ment, and then exclaimed amidst
laughter:
"They are bound to get mixed any
way"
Germany, having a separate treaty
with Russia, will not be allowed to
participate in the meeting at The
Hague.
The chief subjects TO be considered
at The Hague are:
Debts, private property and credits.
The proposed nonaggression pact
will be held in allegiance pending the
commissions ,ahOrs.
"The unwillingness of one power to
participate in the commission will not
prevent the meeting of the commission
on behalf Of other interested govern
ments," said the document.

Written for The State Journal
By ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in my
teens, but have never gone with boys
About a year ago. a young man of
twenty-five was rooming with u.s. He
wae~ very neat about himself and al.
ways kept his room tidy. He worked
in a garage and had a car of his own
He gave children around the neigh
borhood rides, and was a favorite
with every one. He went with differ
ent girls, but has always had a clean
reputation. His folks in a nearby
town have q good name too. Some
times he helped me with my dishes
and after took my little sister and
me for a ride.
Not long ago he went to live with
his PARENTS out of town and about
two months ago he came to say good
bye because he was going to CaIifor-
mia with his brother. He kissed me
and said he would come back in two
years and he would look US up.s He
went because his brother was un-
healthy.
I try to put him out of my mind
and stop thinking of him, but this
seems impossible and I dream of him
| regularly. He would never take ad-
vantage of any one and when he
kissed me it was always like a brother
and sisters affection. Every time
L go to- movie it seems as if I see
someone who looks just like him He
he cares for me?
I am rather young to love any one,
but / have never been attached to
| any one like 1 have to him. have
asked God to send him back so many
times. Men try to flirt with me and
sometimes I smile. but 1 never en-
courage them further. Do you think
| that is wrong? I hate any one who
flirts and I never look at them twice.
I would like to know what course
| you would take if you were in my
boots. ALWAYS LONESOME
Your love for the boy is all right
! if you do mot carry it to extremes
Beware of your thoughts however
| because you can make yourself ut
terably miserable il you permit your
self to think of him all the time
You can put him out of your mind
| by study. reading and other interests
When you find your mind wandering
\ take hold of yourself and concentrate
on the thing you are doing.
| You have a splendid opportunity
to work hard with your studies and
| to try to improve yourself SO that
| two years from now when he comes
! back he will not be disappointed in
you. One of the most important things
| If you want to grow more beautiful
and graceful is To watch other people
Initiate The qualities you admire. and
avoid the unpleasant and awkward
| traits you see In others. Never fai
to be sweet and kind, because it viii
show in POUR face and disposition
