United States. Great Britain and
Japan May b Aligned
Together.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Almos
eight months after the close o
the conference Of the limitation
of ornaments, the treaties ant
resolutions agreed upon by tn
participating powers remain in
ert and practically lifeless, du'
to the failure Of several of the
signatories ito make them effect
i've by ratification
Great Britain, Japan, China
and the United States alone Of
the powers represented at the
conference have ratified all OF
the treaties which their delegates
signed.
France, Italy, Belgium, Hol-
land and Portugal have not. The
answer rests with France. All
advices reaching here indicate
that the other nations are await
ing her lead.
Until given life through ratifi-
cation by these powers, the con-
ference agreements, it is ac-
knowledged here, will continue
i'll their present state of sus-
pended animation - ornamental
rather than useful.
Occasional compliance in min
or matters and the cessation of
work on new battleships under
when the confer
rnce was called, constitute the
only visible evidence of adher-
nnce by the powers to the treaty |
provisions. No actual scrapping
will be done by anybody until
The treaties are ratified. What
ever sentiment previously exist
ID for carrying out the treaty
in advance Of approval
~ other powers appears to have
completely with the dis
'overy that there is to be an in
lefinite delay in ratification. !
While it is generally expected
n official quarters that France
nd her neighbor nations will
atty all of the treaties eventu-
lily, and it is hoped in the near
uture, Washington officialdom
as seen enough of world politics .
n recent years to induce it to ,
make haste slowly" in matters
t this kind. When all other s
overs ratify, the United States Y
ill be ready to meet it's obliga-
Ons.
The plan now is to let matters
de, hoping that France will get !,
own to ratification some time in =
lie next few months. If not it II
the belief here that Great Brit !,
II, the United States and Japan !,
IN get together and modify the :
avail agreement at least into a !,
power pact. :,

DR.. H. M. Ivy, State High School
Supervisor, attended the meeting of
the Southern Association of Colleges
and High Schools held at New Or
leans last week. He recommended
that several of our High Schools be
admitted to the All-Southefn list. 1t
is very likely, therefore, that the num-
Der of Mississippi schools on this list
will be increased from nineteen, the
number last year, to twenty-five or
thirty. To get on this list the schools
must meet certain conditions in re-
ference to the qualifications of the
faculty, number of children per tea
cher, equipment for teaching Science,
and the number and kinds of books
j the Library. Graduates of these
schools are admitted without question
to all the colleges in the United States.
