During 1921 the number OF child
workers decreased little on account

ENCOURAGE LEAGUE
Members of Council Feel
America Should Be Induced
to Join Moves.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA. July Whether the
United States will adhere to the In
ternational Court Of Justice continues
to be a favorite topic of discussion
here among the members of the
league of nations council, which is
now meeting.
Some prominent EuropeansHrecent-
ly returned from the United States,
informed the members of the council
that they were deeply impressed by
the strength of spirit of the American
people. that they wished to show a
wider interest in International affairs
and, wherever possible, without drag
ging the United States into foreign
political ouarrels, to Cooperate more
world problems.
The whole trend Of opinion here is
that everything possible must be
done to induce the United States to
join concrete international move
ments, like the World Court, though
the representatives of the league
have made known their feelings that
it will be exceedingly difficult to in
corporate President Harding's sug-
gestions for reframing the court

University, who is in Geneva, con-

power for good as immeasurable,

induced to adhere 10 IL, ana the hope
is earnestly expressed in league cir

PARIS, July Open debate in the
French chamber of deputies on the
ratification of the Washington naval
treaties was begun this afternoon,
with discussion of those parts of the
treaties dealing with the Limitation of
naval armament and capital ships.
By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright, 1873.
PARIS, July THE Washington
treaty on naval limitation and the
four-power pact will be formally
submitted by the government to the
chamber of deputies late today with
the urgent recommendation that the
discussion be brief and ratification
prompt. This action is the result of
the United Stats which. admittedly, is
embarrassed and annoyed by the de-
lay caused by French procrastination
in putting the treaties into effect.
Vacation Due July IA.
Normally the French parliament be-
gins six-week vacation about
July IA. Unless the treaty can be
discussed and ratified by both cham
bers before that date, or unless the
government DEGREES a prolongation Of
the parliamentary session, there can
be no hope of making the treaties ef-
fective before next August. Premier
Poincare is said to be thoroughly in
sympathy with the American desire
for the ratification of the treaties.
Early Ratification Expected.
While a certain amount Of opposi-
tion Is expected from the royalists
and from deputies representing
French naval ports. it is expected
that the treaties may be ratified by
the chamber tonight or Monday and
by the senate within the following
week.
Only the naval Limitation treaty and
the four-power pact are now under
consideration The other two WASH
tngton agreements will not be con-
sidered until next fall.

AS to the Pope's letter, NJ. Poincare
asserted that 1t should have no po-
litical effect and that French Cath
olics need not be Influenced by 1t, for
the Vatican could not deprive France
of what was due her under the peace
treaty.
To those who demanded that the
French embassy at the Vatican be
discontinued because 1t had not acted
in the best interests of the govern
ment in connection with the publica-
ton of the letter, Premier Poincare
said:

CAMP MEADE, Md, July Tn
spired by the spectacle of a brigade
of citizen soldiers passing in review
with the confidence Of grizzled vet
Grams. Gen. Eugene Gouraud declared.
In a public address here today. that
France maintains it's present stand
ing army only for the same reasons
that prompted America to establish
training camps for its citizen youths
national safety and defense.
Surrounded by high officers of the
Regular Army, the famous French
general addressed his remarks to the
students of the citizens military
training camp and the reserve Off
GERS training camp here, whom he
had Just finished reviewing. Several
times he banged the scabbard Of his
sword upon the flooring of the stand
to emphasize his remarks.
Lauds Youth and Ideal.
Comrades" he said, IT saw yester-
day in the Marine camp two old mill
tary organizations with glorious
records. Today 1 have had the pleas
ure of seeing group of younger
American soldierS-men so valiant In
appearance that ] can not help COM
pairing you with the others who have
years of training and tradition be-
hind them.
Brig. Gen. Fiske, your commander,
has told me that among your num-
bers are only few men of the regu-
lar Army; the others are youths ana
prepare themselves to defend their
country in the time of need. con-
gratulate you also upon your ideal,
because 1t Is the duty of free peo-
pie to prepare themselves to de-
fend their native land should the oc-
casion arise.
Desire for Security.
TT is JUS. this same sentiment and
desire for national security that actu-
ates France today. But we nave cut
IN two the length of time our youths
must serve in the army. Now their
time Of service is only a year and q
half; 1t used to be three years. But
because France Keeps a standing
army with only a year and half
of training, 1t is accused OF militar-
ism. Such statements are iies' broad
cast by Frances enemies"
Gen, SGopraud pointed out to Ger
many's failure to keep her promises In
the past and to the fact that II is
nation still strong. with a citizenry
hardened by a long war. For tnose
train its youths so that they will be
ready, as their predecessors were In
1914, to jump to arms on the Marine
and save Paris from capture.
:. Tvs believe 1t is better to die than
to live without honor Gen. Gouraud
concluded, "You boys are getting
ready to answer the call of your Presi-
dent and your Congress-, should 1t ever
come. That Is your motive for being
here. You do not try to hide it.. The
tactics of warfare have changed, and
today the nations must train their
armies so thoroughly that they would
be able to continue fight even IL their
officers were all killed,
During the war I never gave more
worthy citations than those which
read something like this: after his
commanding officers had been killed
he, continued to advance under fire.
