WORLD COURT PLAN
Republican Chairman's Re-
cent Statement Not Criti-
CiSm of Presidents Policy.
by DAVID LAWRENCE.

Published rcnorts assuming that
the statement issued by John 7.
Adams. chairman Of the republican
national committee. Tuesday was in
tended as an attack on President
Harding's world court policies are
without foundation. This assurance
was given today by the man who
wrote the statement. Chairman Adams
himself. who knows what he intended
TO convey and the object he had in
mind.
Situation Deemed Unusual.
The situation inside the republican
national committee is unusual. There
is no secret made of the fact that
differences of opinion exist as to the
wisdom of President Harding'S pro-
lection of the world court issue. The
republican national committee mead
quarters is the agency that tries to
preserve harmony in the party with
out taking sides. Chairman Adams is
Il 100 uer cent Harding man. He is
on such intimate terms with the Presi-
dent that he would not write state
mcnt that could offend him.
ON the other hand. he did not con-
suit the President about the phrase
oIogy of the statement because he
believes II is Il matter entlrly with
in the political sphere of the party
and on. that can he best adjust ed
by the mrdiating influence of the re.
publican national committee without

Extreme Statements ON League.
The foes Of tho league court have
been provoked into extreme state
lnruts by the reiterated claims of
admission to the world court means
ultimate entry into the league itself.
The republican national committee
has to keep on hammerinE the ideas
conveyed in Mr.. Harding's New York
speech to the effect that he and his
party have turned their backs on
American membership in the league

THE all-over braiding and EN-.
broidery has invaded the wrap
realm and some of the most at
tractive models are decidedly fes-
tive in their all-over designs. When
the wrap ID fashioned from ma

is severe. and collars and cuffs

are all sleeveless and hang straight

Similar to this stardust cape
are capes Of crepe de chine and.
fur. Fur for the summer you
exclaim with horror But this
fur IL a summer fur, another
fantasy of fashion, and is 80 soft,
SO light as to weight and SO deli
cate as to color and texture that
one is easily won over to it's
merits. One cape of rare charm
was of champagne crepe de chine,
: and the entire garment was hand
ed with two-inch bands OF squir'
rel. dyed to match exactly. The
whole thing could be crushed up
in one hand--handfu of summer
extravaganza.
Capes OF this nature are an
extravaganza, rather like buying

how satisfying to the soul, that
frivolous. feminine soul Of woman
that dresses for man!
IT IL interesting to note, in con-
nection with the summer wrap,
the evolution from the wraps Of
yesteryear up to today. Only ac-
tresses wore useless chiffon wraps
then. especially in the summer.

When a perfect shade Of coral

and has it embroidered in Q soft
blue, and then bands the wrap
about the neck. down the front
and around the hem with pearl
gray, fur as fine as silk threads,
then America is in no danger OF
being accused Of being dependant
on France, or wherever. for her
fabrics, designs and styles.
The Washington times., 1923-03-11

Silks and fine French serges
and wills are the favored mate
rails used as the foundations for
the wraps. and blues and blacks
lead in the colors, though a de.
lightful model developed in tones
and shades of browns comes to
view.
However cautious we may be
in deciding upon the colors, we
may stand firm on this-all the
wraps are straight in line, and
the wrapover style Is the one.
This wrap-around style falls from
the shoulder to the hem without
a blouse or extra fold, and then
ties in q tie or sash at the left
hip, or where the left hip should
be, for hips have gone out Of

Sleeves there are none in the
cape-coat. The cape serves as
a substitute for sleeves. The up
to-the.minute.maiden loves to pull
the folds OF the cape about her
slender form. and what need has
she for sleeves?
Collars are interesting features
Of this class Of outer apparel.

THEN comes the class of gar

called wraps. And we'll may they
stand by their rights. for never
have there been such decorative

Seward Gateway.

rived in Seward several days ago to To- cate in this section, has some curious and interesting tales of that little
 known district. MT. Stubbs has been located at the old native village of Kol- makof, several hundred miles above Bethel, where for years he has lived with the natives, studied their lan- guage and customs, and acquired their confidence. The result of his invasti- gations is that the old Eskimos are years ahead of the whites in their man. ner of living, and that the Kuskokwim Eskimo are honest, industrious and de- pendable: quick in their likes and dis likes, and lacking malice, envy and jealonsies of the whites.
 The life of the Eskimo, according to MT. Stubbs, is ideal from sociaHstic stand point. whole tribes living in .har- mony, with every, bit of property owned and shared in common by the people as a whole. Their chiefs or, head officials are selected by popular vote. as are their subchiefs, and these men exert a powerful moral influence on the lives of those under them. Withdrawing no visible authority, they are the means of much good. Following the election of the chiefs, who are not appointed for life, as in other tribes, the natives meet in the kashim, or community. house, where questions touching upon members of the tribe as & whole are freely discussed. Mir. >Stubbs asserts that the natives are a humorous, :friendly race. great on joshing or play ing Jokes on each other, and fine trail companions, being very courageous, not easily fatigued, and able to with stand any amount of hardships.
 Having no written language, -and their spoken language consisting of but 6 few hundred words, the natives are great story tellers. dn telling their tales the relator uses what Is called 8 story knife. These knives are made from ivory, with a woven willow han ,dle, and the blades are divided into sections, with >hieroglyphics carved on both sides of the blades. The narrator -sits down in the sand and divides it off into certain squares or parallelograms, . in each of which he inscribes hiero7 s glyphics similar to those on the knife. !. He then weaves his tale from the translation from these thieroglyphics. These knives are greatly veuerated, and it is very difficult for white. man to secure one of them. Mr. Stubbs se- cured several, which he sent to the Museum of North American Indians, e.Foundation, where they are now .on exhibition.
 The language of the Kuskokwim In dians is very iowery, and they are fond of rolling phrases. They have no posi- tive form of language, but approach affirmation in a roundabout manner. $ For instance, if a white man asks na tive if he has seen schooner or ship come into the.amouth of the river be twill reply: 7
 'rIf such a vessel is in the bay mine eyes have not seen It. " N:
 If asked if another natives eyes have seen 8 schooner in the bay,.-he will reply: [
 "If any other mans eyes have: seen 6 vessel in the river my brain does not know it."
 Their language is poetical and .yer- bose, with many adiectives and nouns. The men are fine artisans, each village having its snowshoe. maker, it's nanu

to degree. Their principal tool is the knife, made of piece of steel trap spring, ground to 8 fine edge, with 6 curved needle point. They use this tool in the manner of the Japanese, working toward them instead of away from tf emselves, as does white man. Theirseyesight is trained to an aston ishing degree, ,sthey being able to read the signs of 'tha rtrail where white man would see nothing.
 The natives are indefatigable hunt CTS, and kill the black bear with 6 short spear, held in the hand. Their method is to surprise the bear sudden ly, and when he rears up to ascertain the cemnotion they plunge the spear into hls chest and flee. The bear drops to his forefeet, driving the spear into his heart. The natives emphatically deny that bear attacks on his hind feet, but, ,claians that he arises to see more distinctly, as his eyesight is very poor. They have little fear of either black or brown bear and attack them with impunity, often going into their dens with their short spears ani knives.
 Mr. tStubbs believes that the natives are dealt too harshly with by the white mans law, as their morals and concep- ,tions of right and wrong are totally at variance with those of the white man. For instance, he tells of how honest they are amongst themselves and rare ly steal from each other. Their ideas of wrong are like a child's. Many cases where Indians have been arrest ed for-ssealing arise from the fact that 1t is an age.old Eskimo custom that when man dies his property belongs to the man who finds it. This custom has brought about considerable friction with the whites who have had boats and other property lost or dropped on the trail. The Indian had no knowl- edge of guilt. but was following his customs. They cannot understand the white mans views, and go to the pen totally ignorant of what they were sent for.
 They are a happy race of people, and are without guile. If they have plenty of flood, warm place to sleep and clothing wear, what more can they need, or .want2 They have nothing but their sim pIe wants to provide for. and nature is lavish in her gifts to her un- uttered sons.
 According to our informant, the Kus- kekwim is one of the most wonderful rivers in the world. It stretches in- land one thousand miles without rapids
 or. rock to block navigation. and
 ocean-going steamers have penetrated as far in as McGrath with ease, small
 boat navigation extending several hum

 rabbits;tt the moose, caribou, bear. sheep sana goat are plentiful, while many an Indian squaw is bedecked in furs princess might envy. The banks are high ,aud covered with thick growth of timber; wild flowers bloom
 in profusion and the air is scented with their odors.
 Speaking of the many curious things to be. seen in this little-explored re- gion,s Mr. Stubbs tells of one lake To- pcated in a mountain region that comes down between the Nushagak and Kus- kokwim rivers, of large size, in the pellucid waters of which are found Il q u.
