Paris. Feb. 22.-Theophileo Del
casse, former minister of goreigr
affairs, died suddenly at Nice las,
evening.
Theophile Dclcassc was one OF
the most notable Of French states.
men during the past rs years
having to his credit, above all else
the inspiration which led to the
formation of the Anglo-French En-
tonte Cord.ale.
| De.casse was born March |
1852, at Painters, Department of
Ariege, in that part of sunny
sou' hern France that has been a
prolific producer of statesmen. He
developed early interest in public
affairs and served sort Of politi-
cal apprenticeship in journalism
While he was on the staff of the
"Rcpublique Franchise" he was
elected member of the General
Council Of Ariegc. In 1889 the
district of Folk. in the same de-
partmcnt, sent him to the cham
Der of deputies and regularly re-
elected him for fears thereafter.
Delcasse's first legislative work
was in the naval, colonial and for
eign relations committees. and he
became one of the speakers who
commanded the greatest attention
Of the chamber.
The Entente Cordialc between
France and England was the
groundwork of Delcassc's plan for
strengthening the fir endships of
France. The Fashoda incident
settled to Great Britain's salts
faction made it easy to breach
more vital questions, and the ncg7
citations between Paris and Lon
don developed into a general liqui-
dation of all questions in which
the two countries were interested.
BY abandoning certain historical
rights to Newfoundland. and &C
cepting definitely British occupa-
ton of Egypt. France obtained
carte blanche in Morocco and the
famc'ls Entente Cordiale was born.
Delcassc has been credited with
an effective influence, in the settle
ment of differences between Rus
STA and Great Britain. and with the
effacement of many subjects of
contention that made it possible
for the Entente Cordials to be-

however, that NJ. Harried's visit was
entirely pers onal and that the French
government was not bound by any
negotiations taken by him.
Martin DeChivvily, who spoke for
France at The Hague conference last
July, left for Moscow today. 1t was
reported that his visit was to be in
the nature of more or less semi
official mission and that he would
endeavor to find out if Moscow
would accept conditions which would
make a resumption of trade rela-
tions possible.

ample time for an appeal to the
court.
No appeal was ever taken by At
torney-General William Lemke, and
perhaps the reason for this lack O.:
action is shown in letter written
by Mr.. Paddock to the attorney gen
eral under date CT April 5, 1921. In
this letter Mr.. Paddock says:
1T would seem to me from these
citations that there is some ques-
ton about whether ihe state Of
North Dakota has priority claim
against the Peoples Supply CO.
Mr.. Paddock also says:
81 have written Mr.. Libby in ac-
cord with the advice of Mr.. Lemke
that hereafter the attorney gener-
ais office will look after this mat
ter and to forward the files
Mr.. Libby did forward the files
on April H. No further action was
taken.

START ON CHEST
FOR CHARITIES
Of DC.
Stephan Names Committee to
Investigate-Denies Charge
Made by budding.

Establishment, of q community
chest system for organized charity
in Washington has been put into the
hands Of a committee of washington
business and civic representatives
appointed by Brig. Gen. Anton
Stephan, chairman of a community
chest forum meeting yesterday under
the auspices of the Merchants ana
Manufacturers Association.
The committee is composed OF VIII
liam Knowles Cooper, Y. M. c. A.;
John Joy Edison, Associated Charities;
the Rev. John O'Grady, Catholic
Charities; George Wilson, Board of
Children's Guardians; Anton Stephan,
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation; Newbold Noyes, Council OF
Social Agencies; Daniel Garges, Sec
rotary, the Board of District Com
missioners; Joshua Evans, jr., Board
of Trade; w. G. Balderston, Chamber
Of Commerce; Evan H. Tucker, Fed
GRAFTON Of Citizens Associations, and
M. A. Leese, Endorsement committee
Of welfare organizations.
Will Collect Data.
This committee is authorized to
collect necessary data and to decide
whether creation Of community
chest in Washington is advisable,
and, in case the plan is Endorsed, to
proceed with formation of the neces-
sary organization.
General Stephan, credited with the
launching Of the community chest
idea in this city, today replied to
charges brought against the plan
by e. e. budding, president OF the
D,.i- Ice a
futed Dudding's claim that the COM
munity chest is "just a clever
scheme to take the public's money
and give it where its chosen direc-
tors want It given"
''Under the community chest
system" General Stephan ex-
planned, anybody can, as at pres
ent, give any amount he chooses
to any charity he may select. We
have nothing to do with that. Our
mission is to see that general con-
tributions to charity are so dis
tributed that no one charity shall
suffer while others prosper.
Reduction Of Duplication.
'"The charge that directors mimi
cal to the charitable organizations
will administer the fund is ridicu-
lous. The officers will be chosen
by the charities themselves.
1.-THE community chest will cut
out duplication of effort and will
weed out unworthy recipients of
charity. It will assure the citizen
that his money Is being placed
where it will do the most good.
1t will cut down the overhead ex-
pense of raising funds. In other
cities it has cut this cost from
Is to Is per cent. It can be made
to do that here.
at will guarantee far more equit-
able treatment of the various char
tiles, will positively take care Of
the needy of all classes and will
relieve the citizens of the city of a
great burden and needless irrita-
ton of continual solicitation"

WAGE GUT HELD
NEED|F FARE
ISLOWERED
J. II. Hanna Declares Dividends
Also Would Be Killed by
Reduction Now.

The Capital Traction Company
would be forced ''to reduce wages,
default on interest charges, and to
suspend all dividends, If a scent
cash fare went into effect" J. Fl.
Hanna, vice president of the COM
pany, informed the Senate District
Committee yesterday.
The total operating revenue In
1922 was 100 per cent greater than
in 1912, and the operating expenses
and taxes last year were 1913 per
cent greater than in 1912, according
to Mr.. Hanna.
"In 1922 this company earned
S.6 per cent on the fair value of its
property as fixed by the Public
Utilities Commission, and paid a
z per cent dividend to It's stock
holders" he continued. During the
past ten years 1t has paid dividends
TO stockholders ranging from 8 per
cent to per cent, the average
being 5.976 per rent.
'Re.establishment of the pre-war
fare, five cents or six tickets for
20 cents would reduce our income
to point where we could not
meet operating expenses and taxes,
unless the wages paid to our EN-.
pioyes were materially decreased
and would make it impossible for
us to meet interest charges or pay
any dividends"
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanna says
that the capitalization Of the Capt.
tai Traction Company has no bear.
Ing on the present fare situation.
He takes rigorous exception to the
charges made by Senator Mcclellan
and declares that the position Of
the company has been unfairly rep
resented.

Disputed Points
Holds Up Turk
Treaty with America

Lausanne, July 1S-(By A. P.)-
The Turco-American treaty negotia-
tons are delayed over three main
points, which probably will require
further conferences between Joseph
c. Grew and Ismet Pasha before real
progress can be accomplished in
drafting the new treaty. The United
States wants Turkey to recognize in
the treaty the American naturaliza-
tion laws. but the Turks point out
that Turkish laws prevent Turkish
subjects who become citizens CT 9TH
err countries from returning to
Turkey.
If the Americans insist on such
recognition, the Turks will demand
that the provision relating to Turk
treaty clause. But the Americans
cannot accept any treaty denial of
the rights of American citizens, and
the subject has been left for further
consideration.
The Turkish experts realize that
whatever may be the outcome of the
negotiations on Sthis question, the
United States government will al
ways insist upon suitable respect for
the rights Of Americans.
The second point Of discord con-
Germs claims Of American citizens
and companies against the Turkish
government for damages suffered
during the war.
The third subject which is te n
porarily left aside, is the kind of
treatment to be accorded American
residents in Turkey under the gen.
eral provisions of the convention Tor
the regime governing foreigners.

BAKER PAINTS WAR.
PICTURE As PLEA
FOR j. s. IN LEAGUE

Cleveland, Ohio, July 49,
Europe is now more nearly ready for
world war than it was in 1914, New
ton D. Baker told an audience of
women gathered here today to hear
the former secretary of war and 9TH
ers outline the purposes Of the
League of Nations Non partisan AS
ssociation. 1t was the first gun fired
there in an attempt to secure signers
to a petition that the United States
enter league of nations.
"When we present to the Presi-
dent and Senate ten thousand names,
or ten hundred thousand names or
ten million names of those who want
America to join a league of nations,
they will listen." Mr.. Baker declar-
ed.
"If the devil has 1t in his heart
to let forth upon the human race
more deadly instruments of destruc-
ton than were used in the last ter
rible war it means international sui
eide SO far as the civilized nations
are concerned.
America must do her part in q
big way in concert with the other
nations of the world to prevent ar
international war. believe that way
will be the league of nations, with
reservations to protect the liberty OF
the United States"
Mr.. Baker explained that there
is no opposition between the league
and the world court. He referred to
the latter as something we ought
to go into" adding that "the court
doesn't take us into the league and
it doesn't keep us out"
