ASCOT, England, June 19-Cloudy

red the opening Of the Ascot race
meet, the most fashionable turf
event in England. The display OF
fine gowns at Ascot opening day is
traditional, overshadowing in femi-
nine interest. at least, the outcome
Of the races.
Despite the unpleasant weather
there was a large turnout and O.
gorgeous display Of finery.
The ascot gown" is the pride
of every English woman. This year
the colors ran to pale mauVc, yell
low and green. The gowns were
made with considerable length and
fullness, showing that the short skirt
has gone out of style. Many OF
them were heavily panneled with
oceans of fluffy ruffled draperies
floating out behind.
The Egyptian motif-adopted from
the Tut-Ankh-Amen fad-was much
in evidence. There were a number
of tightly draped Egyptian gowns
OF Varicolored chiffon.
White serge suits also were popu-
lar, most Of them being stitched
with bright red. White jumper
waists, heavily embroidered in red
designs, were popular with these
suits. Many Of the suits were
tailored with box coats, wide lapels,
cut low with six buttons set close
together at the bottom of the lapels.

Diplomats Satisfied When
Ships Are Allowed to Bring in
Medicinal Liquor.

At least some Of the difficulties

on foreign vessels Is exempt from

Department said today.
Melons instructions - givin 4
foreign ships permission to carry
large stores of medicinal" Huuor-
were issued to the United States
Public Health Service.
All public health officers, Gus,
toms officials and others, were d.
rected to accept without question q
declaration by a foreign ship
surgeon that all intoxicating liquors
aboard the ship, and in the custody
of the doctor are medicinal liquors
Declaration Is Final.
The ship doctors declaration is
final, SO far as American officers
are concerned.
The Treasury Department today
said that this relaxation Of the law
laid down by the Supreme Court
does not mean that. foreign ships
can serve liquor rations to mem
bers OF the crew, unless IL be
done in individual cases by order
Of the ships doctor.

In the conferences held with for.

Keyed to a high point Of patriot

Denby's address, which pulsated

plunged into the business of the
third annual convention Of the In

DENLY impressed the Civilians
with their power to bring into their
organization members in other lands
on q "man-to-man" basis, and thus
obviate to q large extent misunder-
standings which have always exist
ed in foreign relations.
International President o. B. An
drews, in his annual address, said
it was his wish that all Civitan
clubs harness their latent power in
conducting a campaign Of education
throughout the country with view
Of securing a better understanding
Of the problems OF other nations.
who welcomed the Civilians on be-
half of the District Of Columbia,
applauded the projected campaign
to familiarize the American public
with foreign problems, and heatedly
declared that ordinary diplomacy
mad left the world in a terrible
mess"
Perhaps" continued the Chief
Justice, international affairs must
always depend upon diplomacy, but
1t has so TAR failed. am sure any
organized endeavor to change the
ola oruer should be encouraged, and
will say GOD speed you. Your
organization is international, and
the influence OF your relations
should accomplish much good.''
Justice Mccoy emphasized the
belief that diplomacy's failure has
been due to the fact that the citi-
zens Of one country have not ap.
preciated the feelings Of citizens Of
other countries, and he said he was
hopeful that the anticipated Civitan
campaign in this direction would
bring good results.

Secretary Tells Dartmouth
Alumni It Is Safest Path
for United States.

HANOVER, N. H., June 19.-In
q vigorous defense Of the world
court before the annual alumni
luncheon Of Dartmouth College here
today, Secretary Of State Charles T..
Hughes warned that there il no
path to the millennium other than
the path Of Justice" and that "f
we discard the best attainable in
strumentalities Of justice, to that
extent we invited the decisions of
the sword"
The permanent court OF interna-
tional justice. Secretary Hughes de-
cIared, would give the United States
d greater recourse to justice than
any other arbitral tribunal which
1t would be possible to set up. De-
cisions from this body, he said,
would not be the decisions OF po-
1itical expediency," while only in
such ! tribunal would dominant
American opinion be expressed"
Hughes deprecated the conflict Of
national policies, which, despite the
'supeHabundance of information.
has bid fair to place the world
court proposal within the realm of
partisan politics.
Conflict Of Groups.
''1n our foreign relations we de-
sire peace, security and co-opera-
tion," he declared, would that the
spirit Of America had one voice, one
message! But there IL q babel of
voices. q confusion Of tongues, .
There are too many groups
among us. each proclaiming that it
speaks for America and voices
Americas duty. But what one
group demands, another opposes.
America has no voice but its domi-
nant opinion, and this must be ex-
pressed through the organs of Gov
eminent to the extent that unity
Of purpose and view among the rep
resentativeS Of our people will per-
NIT.
I'm our eager pursuits, despite
the superabundance Of information,
we are constantly making a vast
ado about nothing, and find too
often that we have been dilating
with the wrong emotion. Bnfound-
ed rumors and mistaken reports
excite thousand needless anxieties
and most OF our controversies are
only sham battles. Democracy needs
a sound digestion"
Concluding his address with an
urgent appeal for support Of Presi.
dent Harding's world court pro.
posal, Secretary Hughes stated:
For a Permanent Court.
It IL not easy to point out, in the
conflict of national policies, the ways
in which the United States can
serve the cause Of peace; but this
way at least is open. It. is the
way marked by American policy
from the beginning Of the Govern
ment, and ] trust that we shall
throw our. rull influence toward the
maintenance OF peace by the sup
port OF the permanent court. Here
