Word Reaches London

LONDON, Aug. II: (By The As
ISOLATED Press)-Acting upon cable
advices from Secretary of State
Hughes. the American embassy Of
icials in London have made it clear
to the British foreign office that the
United States contemplated no de-
parture from its attitude on repair
ations as taken before President
Harding's death and as announced
by Secretary Hughes in his New
Haven speech.
This disposes of any hopes on this

cession to office might result in a
more active interest by the United

LEGISLATORS MAY GO
 BACK TO NATIVE DRESS
Filipino House of Representatives Re. ceived Resolution 10 That Effect,
 May Wear Colorful "Barong"

Manila, Oct. IS. - Restoration of the cclorfui native ''barong" as the attire of Filipino legislators. Is pro- posed in a resolution submitted by Representative Rafael Vallaneuva in the house of representatives. Here tofore native lawmakers have sported the approved American dress, but many believe 1t would be more patri- otic to return to the original fashion of the Philippines.
 The "barong' Is a shirt-like gar ment, with q narrow neck-band and takes the place of both shirt and coat. Worn outside the belt of the trousers, it gives Americans the impression that tho wearer had dressed hastily and neglected to tuck, his shirt into his trousers.
 Representative Villaneuva's resolu- ton, recommending boycott or foreign apparel, affects women's dress as well as bans all evening gowns made of imported materials.

FRANCE HAS POOR SHIPS
Authorities Have Trouble Obtaining Crews Tor Frcighters, Which Are said to Be Unseaw0rthy.

Paris Oct. IS. - French freighters of a certain type have earned such a bad reputation among seafaring men, that today sailors are refusing to go to sea on them, while naval draughtsmen declare they should be taken out of service altogether.
 Twelve such vessels were built by the government during the war. Their holds are clear. with no bulk heads. which permits the sudden shifting of cargo. and their water ballast tanks have trick of filling unexpectedly. Five of them already have turned over. The last was the Emile Durant. which rolled over without warning and drowned l9 members of the crew.
 Nevertheless, some sailors are oc- easionally found, from time to time, who will take a chance, so several of the craft are still at sea.
