IF "BLOCS" ARE BAD THE
FARMERS WILL CURE THEM.

There is great excitement among
the big city papers over the agricul-
tural bloc" in Congress. 1t seems
that it is a most terrible thing for
Senators elected to represent farming
states to really represent their o n
stituents, regardless of politics.
Yet, ii these same representatives
of farming states went to Washington
and thereafter gave their attention
and their votes to the financial and
manufacturing interests, there would
be no cutlery at all.
Every American knows that for
more than half a century-aye, for a
ccntury-the financial interests have
beer well looked after in Congress.
When Wall Street decided upon "A cer
tain policy, many Democratic and Re-
publican Congressman forgot their
politics to unite for, and make into
laws, such important bills as the great
fnanciers and captains of industry
demanded. 1t is true that off and on
certain progressives OF both parties
sometimes led by a Roosevelt or a
Bryan-protested against all the good
things OF legislation going to one class
of business men and one to the class
of business represented by the farmer
and the small tradesman. But they
were smiled upon indulgently, OF
sneered at, and the bloc" in Congress
went On voting for Big Business the
anne as ever.
1t was inevitable that other 'blocs'
would spring up. If the great farm.
ing-stock raising industry could get
nothing from the government, it was
natural that it would take the very
steps that were plainly successful for
other interests.
The agricultural bloc" has been
the result.
They say like cures like" If the
bloc that has represented high
finance for a century was a bad thing,
perhaps the new bloc" which so
much distresses the Eastern newspa-
pers and politicians and big guns gen
orally will cure the whole bloc" bust
ness. Anyway, the country folks at
lasta have something to trade with,
and trade on.

catarrhal Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness. and
that Is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness Is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is infamed you have a rum-
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an innamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces OF the system.

British .Jurist
Sees Irish ON
Path to Peace
Baron Shaw Tells Pilgrims
English Policy Has Been
40 Years Behind Times,
but Mistakes Are Past
Says It's Erin Alone Now
Rival Leaders Lack Common
Foe and Will Adjust
Problems, He Believes

Ireland Is on the road to peace, not
70 further warfare, and will work out
her problems with greater facility as
she becomes moro accustomed to crap
pling with them herself, Baron Shaw,
OF nunfermline, said last night at the
University Club, where he was the in
formal guest of the Pilgrims.
Rsron Shaw told his hosts that they
should not be too much disturbed about
the rumors of affairs in ireland. The
curse OF Ireland, he said. has been that
the English policy was thirty to forty
years behind. but now England had
reached the point where she must leave
Ireland to work out her own future.
ireland is on the way to peace, in
my judgment" Baron Shaw said, and
then, speaking of the British attitude
continued, "We admit the time has
arrived when the responsibility for
that complexity Of affairs which Ire
land represents, and for the unravel-
ing Of those problems which have ever
lastingly come up there, must rest
upon Ireland's own shoulders"
VIII Lack Common Enemy
"There will be two parties to the end
of time, as in all democratic countries,
but now there will be no common
enemy against which Ireland will
unite"
Baron Shaw, as member Of q commits
sion sent to Ireland by the British gov
ernment to apportion damages, amount
ing to millions of pounds, for proper
ties destroyed before the withdrawal
OF the British troops, said he had met
the leading men of Ireland, represent
ing all factions, and that he believed
that, although they needed expert
ence in guiding country's destinies
they would steer the country until it
rode upon the crest of the wave.
Americans do not fully realize"
Baron Shaw said, "under what heavy
burden Europe is staggering. Never
theless, the might Of right has reached
a potency that has never before been
known in the history Of the world, and
another war can come only when it has
been justified by the highest principles
Of democracy"
The rule of reason, he said, would
prevent the settlement Of questions of
domination and encroachment in such
a sad and bitter way as war.
Remain Comrades, He Begs
"My message to you u.s." Baron Shaw
concluded, chat we have been com
rades on many fields; let us be COM
rades in times of peace. Do not let
politicians split us again.

Naval School Must Go,
Council Writes Berlin
Place Easily Convertible Into
Fort Commanding the Kiel
Canal. Saws Repors

Paris, July &c (By The Associated
Press) The Council of Ambassadors
decided to-day to send a sharp note to
the German government demanding
the immediate destruction of the fire
control and range-fnding school, which
the German naval authorities have
quietly established at a strategic point
on the Kiel Canal. Allied expert opin-
ion has declared the school convertible
into fort commanding the entrance
to the canal.
Allied control officers, who reported
the school to the council, termed it the
most fragrant of the long series of vio-
letions of the naval terms of the
Treaty Of Versailles on the part of
Germany. Experts reported these vio-
lations to have extended over period
OF two manths, aad strongly urged ac-
tion by the council Among other
charges made against Germany was
that Of attempting enlistments for the
German navy far beyond the quota
allowed by the treaty. Failure Of the
Germans to destroy the coast defense
guns was also among the complaints.

Mrs. TdrtOue to Face Life Aneat
As the Countess de Chanquetoi
Titled French Woman Insists That Artists Wife
She Will Adopt To-day Merge Identity in the
Ancient Name; Two Families Long Time Friends

Papers are to be filed to-day In the
Surrogates' Court which will make
Mrs. Claudia Windsor .Tartoue, when
they have been ratified by the court
the adopted daughter of Countess de
Tocquevillr nd give her the title of
Countess .nquetot.
In spite ner affection for her fu
ture foster mother, Mrs. Tartoue was
reluctant to accede to her wish that she
assume the ancient French title that
would be hers legally when the adop-
tion was complete. Countess de
Tocqueville was insistent, however, that
the young American become member
of her family in every respect, and
Mrs Tartoue consented.
"T was born an American" Mrs. Tar
toue said yesterday in explanation of
her hesitation to call herself countess,
"and think would prefer to be known
as Claudia Windsor, but the countess
insists that I take the title which will
be my legal right, and l cannot deny
her anything who has been so good and
kind to me-"
Countess de Tocqueville said she
wanted the adoption to signify the be-
ginning of new existence for her
charge.
AFTER ali the fuss and trouble which
she had as the wife Of Pierre Tartoue, y
New-York tribune., 1922-07-27

she said, "I am most anxious that she
should take the name to which she
would be entitled as my daughter. 1t
Is fine, clean name and know that
Claudia will do it'honor."
She said that the young woman's
plight, far away from her family at
time when her separation from her
artist husband became public, had
aroused her sympathy and that asso-
citation with Mrs. Tartoue had endeared
the young woman to her.
Countess de Tocquevilie is n member
by marriage of an old French family Of
the nobility. Her ancestors. Of French
origin, were pioneers in California at
the time when Mrs. Tartoue's kin were
breaking ground in the State of Wash.
ington. Mrs. Tartoue's father was Of
English descent, and her mother
French. Countess de Tocqucville was
a member Of the LIE Roy family, which
acquired extensive property holdings
in Berkeley, Calf, where one Of the
principal streets is named for them.
"My father was English" said Mrs.
Tartoue, "a member of the old Windsor
family, one of the oldest in England.
My mother, it so happens, was French,
her family name being Benguet. MY
people were pioneers on the northern
Pacific Coast at the time that the
Countess's family was settling in the
South, 80 the adoption really unites
two oN the oldest Pacific Coast
families"

The complaint was sworn TO by Miss

with Edgar T. Bracket, is in direct
charge of the case, said yesterday that
If the baron had been here he would
have signed the affidavit himself. He
will come back to contest the suit, the
lawyer said.
Mr.. Leve made the following state
ment on behalf Of Baron Rothschild:
Our client denies most strcnuously
the statements of the plaintiff and says
the claim that ne ever promised or
contemplated marrying her is absurd
and without the slightest foundation.
This is one of those. cases where a

tive of either paying large sum of
money or fighting out the issue regard

facts of the case and the history of

LONDON, July 26.-"UnIess some
thing Is done soon with Russia the
country will be reduced to primeval
conditions" declared Premier Lloyd
George in the House Of Commons to-
night in summing up the British atti-
tudc toward the present regime in that
country. He added that Russia would
get no better until it fell in line with
the civilized world. This was the gist
Of the Premier's conclusions on the
conditions following the unsatisfactory
closing Of the conference at The
Hague.
The greatest achievement Of the con-
ference, the Premier said, was that of
educating Russia to an understanding
of the facts. These facts he said,
were that people would not invest
money and labor in Russia until they
felt some security for both. and these
were the first to which Russia must
attend.
In defining the conditions under
which diplomatic recognition would
be accorded to the Soviet government
the Premier said the Soviers must &C
cept responsibility for credits granted
before and during the war. In regard
to property he declared they must
either put the original owners back
into possession or give them real COM
pensation for losses. The British gov
ernment, he said, is now awaiting
reply on these conditions, which have
been sent to Moscow.
"If they are prepared loyalty to
carry out this undertaking" the Pre-
mier said, "that will be the time to
discuss recognition. 1t is when the
Russian government has not merely
given verbal guarantees, but prac-
tcal exhibition Of its intent to carry
out it's undertakings, that we will ac-
cord recognition.
Speaking of general conditions in
Russia, the Premier said that factories
are becoming industrial derelicts,
railroads are growing rotten and the
tracks worn out. Until proper condi-
tions for production and transportation
are restored, he explained, it would be
idle to mislead the country with hope
of outside aid.
The Hague conference made long
strides toward settlement with Rus
sia, in the view of Sir Philip Lloyd
Graeme. the principal British delegate
at the conference, who spoke earlier in
the evening. He said that the only
hope of restoration of industries lay in
the introduction of foreign capital.
"If Russia decides to accept the pro-
gram laid down." he said, "she will
not only open the way for re-entrance
into the community of nations, but also
will lay the foundations for the resto-
ration of her industrial life"
