"Was Lieutenant Roswell in France?"
Gray inquired, quickly.
"Oh yes. He'll be in at any minute"
A shadow of regret crossed the callers
face. I'm sorry but I've arranged to call
on the mayor, and I've no time to lose. What
unit was your son WITH"
"The Ninety-eighth field artillery"
The shadow fled. Mr.. Gray was vexed at
the necessity for haste, but he would look
forward to meeting the young hero later.
Gray's fingers strayed to the small change
in his trousers pocket and he turned longing
eyes back toward the bank interior. With
out doubt it was a temptation, especially in
asmuch as at that moment his well-mani-
cured right hand held in its grasp every cent
that he possessed.

The Governors Suite

- DOM service at the Ajax is of a quail

and the most expensive hotel in
Dallas. While the standard of excellence is
uniformly high, nevertheless some extra care
usually attaches to a breakfast ordered from
the Governors suite-most elegant and most

America and the World Court

wv Nth scarce a dissenting voice the
M American Bar Association has adopt
ed a resolution offered by former
Attorney General Wickersham, joining "in
what it believes to be the wise judgment of
the American people, that the United States
ought to become one of the supporters of
the Permanent Court of International JUS
tice at The Hague, and that our Government
should adhere to the protocol and concur,
in the manner set forth by the President of
the United States in his message to the Sen
ate of February "a, 1928"
The significance of such resolution by
body of citizens so widely and SO highly
representative as the American Bar Associa-
ton will not be lost upon thinking people.
1t means that the keenest, the broadcast, the
best of the country's legal and judicial minds
are virtually a unit for the United States
entering the World Court. From every re-
gion and every commonwealth of the Union
come the members of the American Bar AS
ISOLATION, and as we'll from every consider
able school of political thought. The au-
thor of the resolution is an eminent Republi-
can, formerly leading figure in the Taft
cabinet, and many who voted yes of his
party. Equally pronounced was the ac2rov-
al of Democrats, among whom were former
preston of patriotic judgment there was
hardly an echo of partisan prejudice.
Nor was so much as an inch of Roadway
gained by the few who sought to weaken the
resolution with qualifying amendments
Some there are who profess to believe a
world court of justice, but who draw back
either timorously or obstinately from the one
world court OF justice with which and
through which consistent supporters of its
principle can cooperate. The Bar Associa-
ton would have no such shily- shalying. It
spoke out definitively for adherence to the
Presidents policy set forth in his message
of February the twenty-fourth last.
at is wholly question: declared that
message, "of accepting an established nstitu-
ton of high character, and making effective
all the fine things which q been said by
US in FAVOR of such an agency OF advanced
civilization" In the same connection it was
expressly stated that Americas joining the
court was not to involve her in responsible
ties to the League of Nations, this being
for reinsurance to the over-fearsor.c. 1t
was believed, on the best of evidence, that
we could enter the court with such reserva-
lions as the Senate might deem essential, so
long as they were reasonable. The court is
in fact Independent of the league; its de-
cisions not subject to c7'iew by the
league; its membership is not limited to
