BURTON DEFENDS
WORLD COURT PLAN
Former Senator Speaks Be.
fore Republican Women
of Bay State.
By the Associated Press.

BOSTON, May 25.-Former Senator
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, addressing
the Women's Republican Club of Massa-
chusetts. advocated membership by the
United States in the Permanent Court
of international Justice as the best
hope of justice and peace among ma
tions.
why" he asked, should a PROPOSE
tion which has SURPRISING merit be re-
jected because of its most recent
source? We may well say to the bitter
enders who proclaim they will have
nothing to do with anything promoted
by the league of nations, in the Ian
guage of Iago to Brabaneio: You are
one of those who will not serve God If
the devil bid you.'"
Opinion on League.
Referring to the league itself, the
speaker said he could not regard ii as
the wicked institution painted by 9TH
ers; that it was mot worth while for
US to decry it's achievements or with
hold our wishes for it's success not
withstanding that the enormous de-
cision against it in the last presidential
election showed the United States did
not wish to Join.
Senator William z. Borah of Idaho,
speaking after Mr.. Burton, announced
that "if they can convince me that
this world court would be free from
political influences and would prove
really effective in solving world prob
lens, shall be ready to indorse it,"
What will we gain by speedy ac-
tion?" he asked. The most impor-
tant point is that this is not a judicial
tribunal at all. because you can't get
into the court except by consent of
all.
I'm other words, Germany or Eng
land could not have brought France
into the court on the question of the
seizure of the Ruhr; and by enforcing
such a principle as the consent of all
nations. the politicians can control
every issue.
THE court which Elihu Root pre-
sented is as different from that of to-
day as day is from night. The court
of today is nothing more than an ar
bitratiOn tribunal"

Park with volcanoes, a scheme has

WIFE, SUING MATE, !.
ADN|TSLOVE NOTES
Neighbor's Honey Bunch"
Letters Meant Nothing to
Her, She Claims.

CAMDEN, N. j.. March a.
When Mrs Florence B. Larsen, Of
Glendora, took the witness Stand be-
fore Vice Chancellor Leaning to
testify in her suit for divorce from
her husband, John e. Larson. She
was confronted with letters that
had been sent her by Joseph Hick-
man, also Of Glendora, in which he
addressed her by endearing terms
such as 'honey bunch" The woman
admitted that she had received
them, but asserted she was not to
blame, that she had no affection for
him and that he persisted in send
ing the missiyes.
Mrs. Larsen sought the divorce
on the ground that she had been
subjected to cruel treatment. In
November, 1921, she asserted. her
husband had struck her and order
ed her from the house. She also
said he never had any affection.
Besides denying the allegation,
Larsen sought divorce on the
ground that his wife had been in
discreet with Hickman while he was
boarder at their home. She en-
tered denial of that charge.
while the conduct of the hus-
band in his home was far from an
gelic, 1 am satisfied he had good
and sufficient reasons for being
grouchy when he suspected his wife
was friendly with Hickman" said
the Vice Chancellor. IT am satisfied
that Mrs. Larsen had a strong lik-
ing for Hickman and that her con-
duct indicated undue intimacy"
After expressing the belief that
Larsen had made honest efforts to
have his wife return and that the
woman had willfully deserted her
husband. Vice Chancellor Leaning
said he would grant the decree on
the husbands cross petition.
