FRANCE FOR
 FIVE POWER
 NAVAL PACT
Cle1nenceau on Depar- ture for Home Assures U. s. that His Nation Will Ratify Washing ton Arms Conference Agreement.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Fears in
 America that France will refuse
 to ratify the five power naval
 treaty adopted by the Washington
 Arms Conference, are entirely un-
 warranted in the opinion of
 Georges Clemenceau, ex-premfer
 of France. who sailed today on
 the liner Paris for home.
 Not only will France ratify the na- val treaty but she will also give form al approval to the four power pact and the other conference agreements as well, the Tiger believes.
 Clemenceau himself is a staunch supporter of the treaties and he be- lieves France will be TOT them re- gardless of any conditions.
 'I cannot presume to speak for the but a simple citizen," he said. "Never- thefess it is my firm conviction that France will ratify the naval treaty."
 The Tiger believes the principle of the Four Power Pacific Treaty might readily be extended to the Atlantic and therefore to Europe Notwith- standing suggestions from the White House that there is no relation be- tween the two problems, Ciemencsau
 Concerns Both Continents.
 "Any so-cailed European problem in reality is as much American as ing the case, why should not some such arrangement as the four-power pact be worked out for Europe? Not a soldier need be sent to France, but the mere moral effect of such an ar engagement would be sufficient to sta oi1ize conditions there." -~
 Fully appreci1tive that any further delay on the part of France will lay her open to further criticism of mil ftarism and imperialistic designs, and knowing that the naval treaty, upon which the ultimate success of the arms conference depends. is near the heart of American administration, he thinks no time should be lost by France in taking appropriate action.

Mrs. Winifred Mason Huck of Illinois, one of the two women members of the House of Repre- sentatives marches to the White House at the head of women car rying banners and asks Presi- dent Harding to pardon the pr1s- oners who committed seditious of lenses during the World War. It is the way of women, to be upon the sidssof reconciliation. The statesmanship of Mrs. Huck is like the statesmanship of Lincoln. It can do no harm to pardon these prisoners. Much harm may be done by keeping them in pris- on.

London, Dec. 13-(By A. P.)-An epidemic of Typhus of a viru1ent type is sweeping through Errts, Tn the northwest part of County Mayo, and whole families have been wiped out, according to a BaMina despatch 10 the Daily Express. There has been nothing like it since the time of the great Irish famine.
 Erris is a maritime district, isngu- larly wild. and the nearest railroad station is 50 miles away. consequently 1t is almost impossible to get medical attendance.

MUST STOP
 STRIPPING
 IN SCHOOLS
Supports Attitude of E d uc a tion B oard Which Has Stopped Indignity Visited Up- on Girl Pupils.

'I do not believe girl pupils
 fin the schools should be stripped
 to the waist to be examined,
 Mayor Fred AtEater declared to-
 day. "I believe it wrong to em-
 barrass girl pupils by stripping
 them to the waist and then mak-
 ing them stand in line to await
 their turn to be examined"
 ntimating that he favored the at- titude taken by the Board of Educa- ton in the method of medical in- spection conducted by the Board or Health in the schools the mayor con- tinued:
 ''I believe in superficial examrna- tons of the girls as we'll as the boys. It is not necessary to partly strip them to examine their lungs. The examination can be made through the clothes, just as well.''
 A number of persons, interviewed by reporters of The Times, express an opinion in favor of physical examine tion of the children There is almost unaninity in the opnion that the examinations ought to take place. Quite a number of individuals take the same position as that expressed by Mayor Atwater who says, that there is no need to strip children to examine them. There is more objection to group examinations than there Is to the examination of the girl children by male doctors
 A typical attitude is presented in an interview with Mrs. w. H. Comley. Jr, who said, 'rI object to the ex- aminations in general. I believe that the little girls should be examined by the family doctor, except in cases where the family is too poor to pay the expenses, and then the services of the public doctors should be used."
 Mrs Com1ey further expressed the belief that the examination as given in the public schools is somewhat su- perf1cial for the reason that many or the most important parts of the body are not examined She believes that if the examination is for spinal de- formities, these could probably be de- tected without removing the child's clothing.

ANOTHER UNIVERSITY
FOR WOMEN IS TO BE
FOUNDED IN JAPAN

Toxic, Aug. 26.-Another uni
versity for women is to be founded
in Japan. 1t is proposed for this
purpose to expand the Jissen Girls'
school. the principal of which is
Madame Shimoda, famous edu-
cationalist. Viscount Shibusawa,
who is devoting his time and labor
to the Advancement of his coun-
try, has been asked to become
chairman OF the establishment
committee.
"There has been felt a great
need for such university" said
the director of the Jissen Girls
school. THE fall Of Russia as an
empire was due in large part to the
lack Of educational institutions for
women. Before the Russian revo-
luton girls of well-to-do families
were compelled to complete their
education by studying abroad. The
result was the growth Of alien
thought in the upper class fami-
lies.
Japan resembles Imperial Rus
sia in the lack of higher schools
for girls, If unchecked the pres
ent tendency Of Japanese women
to seek advanced education in for
eign countries will result in the
creation of a serious situation"
Japan already has one university
for women, the JOSH Daigaku.
