SOFIA. August S.-As the result of
the Bulgarian government having
allowed the Macedonians to hold
manifestations all over the country
Sunday and having permitted the
Macedonian revolutionary organiza-
tion, the "ilinden," to be reconsti-
tuted. the little entente. at Serbia's
instigation. has made a vigorous
protest against the Bulgarian gov
ernment. The Sofa cabinet at plen-
airy session today will consider the
situation caused by the entente's
protest.
The Serbian minister pointed out
that his government could not admit
the existence OF the "ilinden." which
was repressed by the late agrarian
gov ernment in Bulgaria. He a'-o
said that Belgrade was very SUE
picious of the relations between Bull
garian military circles and Todor
Alexandroff. the chief of the Mace
donian revolutionaries.
These suspicious were increased
by skirmish which took place be-
tween the Serbians and the Mace

test. as this IS the first time Ru-

ABOARD THE S. S. LEvIATHAN,
August Slope and inspiration
abound in the little republic of
Czechoslovakia where the first five
years have been so well used to con-
struct and develop a national entity
that the whole world may derive en-
complished here.
Austria has been helped from with
out, but Czechoslovakia has been
helped from within. There Is no
economic parallel but politically this
little republic is tending toward a
neutral mediatfng position very much
like that of Holland or Switzerland.
IL is true that craftsmanship and the
desire for preservation of friendly
relations are dominant in the affairs
OF the republic, Tolerance is being
generally displayed toward "A large
minority of Germans, Magyars and
other foreigners who live side by side
with the CZecho and have substan-
tial representation in the national
parliament.
Debt Affirming Aids.
The Czechoslovakian government
has applied itself sincerely to tax
revision and has kept it's budget
more or less even. Already a COM
mitment has been made to settle
the war debt to America a circum-
stance which has contributed great
deal to confidence in this republic by
the outside world
Judging by the achievements of the
last three years. CZechoSlovakia may
well be ranked as a forward looking
country of real promise. Prague is
4 busy metropolis. The life of the
nation is moving along well defined
lines with an economical internal
administration and good program
of education for the background
regions of Slovakia. which were SO
long kept in subsection by the Hun
Garian monarchy. SIovakia needs
railroads badly and money will be
obtained only from American or Brit
ism capitalists. Opportunities are
there and the Czechoslovakia ian gov
ernment is as receptive to advice as
any Independent nation could pos
sibly be.
Currency IL Stabilized.
The currency for many months has
been stabilized. Some idea of what
this means can be conveyed when il
is recalled that the Czech unit of
money, the crown. used to follow the
German mark. ard just after the
armistice started downward with the
mark. Now. however. the crown Is

GEORGIA'S PRISON HEAD
GLAD LASH Is GONE
Denies Convicts Have Been Tor.
tured Since Whipping Was
Abolished.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA. August s.-The state
prison, commission does not want the
lash restored, Commissioner T. L.
Patterson stated in denying charges
of Representative Bennett before a
house committee that prisoners in
Georgia had been tortured" since
whipping was abolished early this
year by order of the governor.
II do not know of any case In
which a prisoner has been strung up
by his thumbs or otherwise brutally
treated" Mr.. Patterson said. I'VE
have, of course, had some trouble
with the prisoners since the lash was
abolished. but this Is only natural,
and we expect the situation to return
to normal within a year.
I'VE had the same trouble when we
stopped the whipping of women. After
the new system had been in effect a
year the prisoners will have become
accustomed to it, and we then will
expect no further unusual trouble.
We do not wish the lash restored in
Georgia"

LEAGUE ARMS PACT
NEARLY COMPLETED
Provides Guarantees for
Peace and May Be Substi-
tute for Article X.
by PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright. 1929
PARIS, August S.--The disarma-
ment commission of the league of
nations is expected to adopt today
the text of the general guarantee and
limitation of armaments pact for
submission to the league assembly in
September. This pact represents the
results of many months of negotia-
tions and may play an extremely i'm
portant role in world affairs
The text is still unpublished. but
the main outlines are believed to be
as follows:
Aggression will be declared an in
ternational crime. Signatories will
agree to unite Immediately with
military and economic forces against
the aggressor. States believing them
selves threatened may form special
defensive alliances among themselves.
but treaties of special alliance must
be duly submitted to the league and
VIII take their place in the frame
work of the general guarantee.
When an armed international out
break occurs the secretary of the
league Immediately must convene the
council OF the league which, within
four days. must pronounce which
state is the aggressor and make rec
ommenda tons for the employment Of
military and economic forces of the
Signatorfes to the pact
The pact is well organized CONT
nentally-that is to say, Europeans
VIII be primarily responsible for
European order, Asiatics for Asiatic
order and South Americans for South
American order
only those states which desire to do
50 need sign the pact, but the pact be-
comes effective when several have
signed, whether others do or not
states which accept the guarantee
must Immediately reduce their arma-
ments TO the extent they believe safe
and must agree to cooperate in amy
general armament limitation the
league may devise, carrying out the
provisions of that limitation within
TWO years after approvalS by the gov
ernmentS concerned
The text is d compromise between
the British and the French views.
Lord Robert Cecil. the British nego-
tiator. believes that if adopted it will
make war virtually impossible. for no
state would risk aggression. The
French also are satisfied. for the plan
embodies certain definite ideas for
making international guarantees
prompt and practical. which the
French delegation tried to write into
the league covenant in 1919.
II is believed that if the assembly
adopts the pact the league may de-
eide TO abolish article TO- for which
this would be an effective substitute.

BOISE, Idaho, August S.-Senator
William E. Borah, in a statement to-

reasonable for the human race to en-

aimed at in the American peace award
created by Edward w. Box, as it has
been to seek new and more effective
methods of warfare
Il see great good to come from the
American peace award" said Sem
ator Borah. THE ingenuity of the
human brain has been taxed for 5000
years to find the best means and
methods for carrying on war. Now
let us arouse the conscience and har-
ness the genius of the human family
in an effort to find plan for perma-
nent peace. 1t is a splendid thing"
