BANKERS WANT
j. s. To DROP
ISOLATION POSE
Foreign Policy Given a
Jolt at Financiers' F
Convention.

New York, Oct. 3.-An overwhelm-
ing sentiment favoring America s
abandonment of her policy of isola-
ton from European affairs and the
substitution of a policy which might
even involve partial cancellation of
the allied war debts Tuesday swept
through the convention of the Ameri-
can Bankers association. The sub
ject was broached by Thomas w.
Lamont, associate of J. p. Morgan,
who's. pleas in behalf of American
unselfishness" turned the. convention
into an uproar as the 10000 dele
United States voiced their approval.
The movement gained momentum
when Mr.. Lamonts' plea was echoed
by Thomas B. McAdams, president
of the bankers national organization;
Myron T. Herrick, United States am
bassador to France, and other ma
known figures.
Surprised at Change
Financial leaders, who asserted that
until recently mention of the debt
had brought only pro-
tests from small and large bankers
throughout the country, expressed
great surprise at the changed atti-
tude evidenced Tuesday. a year ago,
they poined out. a proposal similar
to that cautiously advanced by Mr..
Lamont was emphatically turned
down by the association
Formal action on the question of
European debts to this country or
the formation of a definite program
of new loans and trade contracts
is not expected of this convention.
However, leaders declare they are
with the evidence that
bankers of the country are amenable
to Americas more active participa-
ton, and will depend upon early de-
velopment of public opinion which
will justify the administration in
making overtures to the foreign ma
tons concerning the possibility of a
basis for radjusted settlements.
The subject will be resumed We'd
nesday when the Right Honorable
address the bankers on Preparations
and International Debts"

NOT A G. O. p. BOLT

Des Moines, Oct. 3-(By The Asso-

of warning against the inroads of So
cialism, a bolt from the candidacy of
Smith w. Brookhart, for United
States senator on the republican
ticket, refused to admit itself a bolt
from the party, opened a state wide
movement here Tuesday.
Nearly 200 republicans, represent
ing practically all districts of the state,
heard Colonel Brookhart denounced as
a dangerous radical who would nation
alize railroads, banks and farms and
turn the republican party over to the
radicals, with whom he was charged
with having met in Chicago last Feb
ruary.
Former Governor B. f. Carroll,
presiding as temporary chairman,
sounded the keynote address and was
followed to the platform by Milton B
Pitt, one of the three" signers of the
call that brought the meeting to Des
Moines, who for an hour assailed the
republican nominee as the original
bolter from the principles of the par
ty, an interloper who, he said, had
seized the nomination "by trickery"
and one who, if elected, would advance
the movement which, he said, would
bring the desolation of Russia under

the Greek troops in Thrace under
control SO as to avoid the possibility
of a conflict.

camping places all through the Al

coal mines near Frostburg, Nd.
About all we could see from the

In West Virginia we were told
that a few days before we arrived
black snake 7 feet long had
been killed close to where we

LONDON, Sept. 13-It has be-
come apparent that the wireless
telephone is still in its infancy,
and that considerable advance in
invention must be achieved before
il becomes really satisfactory as
a means of broadcasting or for
other purposes. This is the con-
clusion of the Radio Research
Boards subcommittee, whose re-
port has just been issued.
1--WE consider that the develop
ment of radio telephony for long
ranges is in an extremely elemen-
tary stage and we see no line of
development which would be like
" to lead to its establishment on

ureablc period, they say.
"For ranges of the order of 200

the pos ion more hopeful. and it

to the development in reasonable

SUGGESTS WHISPERS ON
POSTAGE STAMPS

WASHINGTON Sept. 13-The
government is getting a lot of sug-
eestions since it has been announc-
ed that the post office department
is contemplating a new set of
postage stamps and the following
humorous story is from Senator
Hitchcock's paper the Omaha
World erald:
Irving Glover, third assistant
postmaster general, says the de-
partment is perfectly serious
about substituting a lot of new
faces for the long familiar por-
traits of Washington and Franklin
on our postage stamps. He says
the. new faces are necessary to
give variety and variety is neces-
sary to prevent loss through fail
ure to detect short paid matter.
In this connection may we sug-
gest that what our stamps need Is
whiskers. Nothing gives such va
lIcty TO the human face as whisk
c1s. A good, snappy selection of
all the standard types of whiskers
ought to serve the purpose per
fectly The most hurried and over
worked postal clerk couldn't fail
to notice with half an eye the
marked difference, for example,
between Dom Paul Kruger's lace
edging and a neatly trimmed Van
Dyck. There would be variety to
spare between a set of Dun
drearys and the imperial of Napo-
leon III. General Burnside and
James Hamilton Lewis would look
! we'll in any stamp collectors al
bum. In the matter of mustaches
alone a whole series can be pro-
vided for, beginning with a tiny
Charlie Chaplin and winding up
with a fine engraving of the wal
rus type.
II won't do any good to trade
off Washington and Franklin for
Jefferson and Jackson, Madison,
Monroe and the Adamses. There is
too much samenesS about the ply
sioenomes of smoothly shaven
statesmen to make their substitu-
ton worth while If thing is
worth doing it is worth doing
well.
