n YOT long ago I read a charm
~ ing account Of an italian
~ city which was protect
ed from the enemy by it's shallow
harbor. There was no land APP
proach to the city and when it's
citizens were out on expeditions,
even they could not return to
port until the course was mark
ed by stakes. The city was never
taken until treachery set the
guiding channel stakes to mark
the one way OF approach to the
enemy.
The writer of the article in
question went on to point out
that age is like that-an enemy
which cannot enter our harbors
and take our citadels unless we
set out the guide posts to show
1t the avenue to approach.

little essay I am reading here,
but since it is likely to escape so

This parable Of age was
brought to my mind today by a
little woman who was one of q
group at luncheon. She was the
daintiest' most perfectly groomed
little creature imaginable. Her
oress was a simple. graceful black
one. Her dropping black hat
shadowed the most eager blue
eyes and the cleanest, firmest skin
III all our group. Not a drop of
makeup was on that pretty, eager,
interested face There wasn't
one artificial thing employed to
make that woman look young
or attractive. All her charm was
the result of grooming, gracious
ness eager sweetness and inter-
est in all that was going on
about her.

Slant On Reparations

London, July 1.-THE Daily Mail,
which is an energetic and constant
supporter of French policy to Ger
many, displays a lengthy statement
on this subject by its Paris CORE
spondcnt from the highest official
authority"
The. statement which is prcsum-
ably launched for the Benefit Of Brit
ish readers as the French official
foreword to Premier Baldwin's pro-
nouncement today Thursday, is
mainly a reiteration of past official
utterances. 1t declares that the en-
tente with Great Britain is the very
basis Of Frances policy, and any
attempt at the restoration of Europe
could only be accomplished by their
joint action. France, therefore de-
sired the maintenance and strength
ening of the entente and allied soli
darity of action on reparations and
security.
French and British opinion, it adds.
unfortunately hitherto have diverged
respecting Germany, Great Britain
seemingly considering G rmany
ruined and unable to pay reparations,
while France esteems Germany's
ruin as only apparent and the real
prosperity of the country much great
err than has been thought. 1t reiter-
ates that the Ruhr was occupied be-
cause the French were OF the opinion
that it was the only way ito bring
Germany to reason" regarding the
payment of reparations.
Avowing readiness to examine any
proposals made in good faith by the
German government, it's says it is
impossible that such examination can
begin while what Germany calls pas
sive resistance continues.

CAPITOL NOT ADVISED
INVITATION TO JOIN
in PREPARATIONS TALK

Washington, July II (By A. P.)-
IL Premier Baldwin has decided to
suggest American participation in q
separations settlement, as limited in
some dispatches from abroad, neither
American officials nor diplomatic
circles here have been advised of
the decision.
SO far as revealed here, the Am
erican attitude remains just as it
was when Secretary Hughes. IN a
speech at New Haven, some months
ago, made the suggestion that a con-
ferencAof economic authorities he
held to determine Germany's ability
to pay and the best methods of pay
ment. Mr.. Hughes made no COM
mitment on the part of the United
States government to official palIi-
cipation in such a procedure, but
limited that private American enter
prise might find it possible to help.
At the state department rigid ST
lence has been maintained by off,
Gals with respect to all the recent
developments which led to Premier
Baldwin's determinations to set out
an independent policy for his gov
eminent in dealing with the German
reparations situation. In the alb
sence from London of Ambassador
Harvey there is little ground to as
sumo that the Washington govern
ment has received any detailed adj
vices as to the cabinet discussions
there during the past few days.
