GENEVA OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

bookkeeping is still Switzerland's
principal industry. The hotel busi-
ness Is nurtured by the government
as carefully as our protective tariff
looks after our industries, infant and
otherwise. Nobody can go into the
Motel business without the permission
OF the state. This prevents over
crowding in the industry, and also
enables those citizens of the republic
who are fortunate enough to be
mine hosts by occupation to keep up
prices. Americans and British, chief
ly Americans, are the main props Of
the Swiss hotel trade in Summertime.
In the winter, when Alpine sports
prevail, Europeans predominate.

Owing to its occurrence at the mo-
ment American public attention was
riVeted on the Democratic national
confusion in New York, an episode
at Geneva escaped general notice in
the United States. On the Fourth of
July the municipality Of Geneva Of

Mont Blanc, skirting Lake Geneva, to

Of marble, five feet long by two feet
wide, was ceremonially unveiled on

palace OF the League of Nations. 1t

The State of North Carolina has
sent an unofficial observer to the
League of Nations. He Is Philip S.
Henry, who was commissioned by
GOV. cameron Morrison as the special
commissioner of North Carolina, to
act as unofficial observer at, and re-
port upon, the activities Of the
League of Nations" In addition to
attending the sessions Of the Geneva
institute for Foreign Relations be-
tween the 10th and 18th Of August,
Mr.. Henry planned to remain for the
NTH assembly in the first week of
September.
One day the League of Nations will
possess an imposing set of buildings
OF its own. The headquarters of the
secretarlat, or palace of the league,
are the only existing premises, but
the new 100000 building of the In
ternational Labor Office will presently
rear its head, and on some future
occasion 1t is hoped to erect an
equally worthy structure for the
meetings of the annual assembly. At
present these are held in the ancient
HAL or the Reformation, lent for the
purpose by the City Of Geneva.
The land on which the international
labor office will stand came into
league possession under unique cir
cumstances. A Swiss war profiteer-

to be all at once a candidate; more

Germany Accepts.

1t is of no particular moment that
the German chancellor was compelled
to make a bargain with the Ma
tionalists of the Reichstag in order
to secure the necessary two-thirds
vote for the railroad bill, which is
under the London agreement. The
vitality important fact is that 4S OF
that party voted with the govern
ment and that the bill was passed.
The other essential measures of the
agreement, requiring only majority
votes, were likewise passed. Thus
Germany formally and finally accepts
the plan ant it will be at once started
in execution.

Nationalist Support is the inclusion Of
certain members of that party in the
government. 1t would, indeed, seem
only right and proper that there
should be such a representation. The
ministry is based ur,.n a coalition.
1t might we'll include representatives
of all the parties.
Germany passes a crisis in yester-
days Reichstag votes. AS Chancellor
Marx told that body plainly the other
day, this is the last chance. The
London conference gave the utmost
consideration to the defeated nation.
which has heretofore failed to meet
it's obligations entailed by the war.
No fairer method Of financing the
reparations which are due unter the
treaty of Versailles could possibly be
devised. France, has acted II the
fullest good faith in already, in ad-
vance of German ratification, with
drawing troops from the occupied
area. In the face of this action for
Germany to repudiate, by Reichstag
vote, the course of her own repre-
sentatives at the conference, who
gained important concessions, would
have been the last word in default
Already the machinery for putting
the London agreement, which en-
bodies the Dawes plan. into effect is
provided. A large loan, presumably
f1oated in this country, will be one
of the first measures. American cap
ital will be invited and will probably
be forthcoming in sufficient amount
to put the loan across. Executives
to supervise the handling of the
finances will be named, having, in.
deed, already been selected.
Germany has thus accepted her
"laSt chance" Whatever results in
her domestic politics is compare
lively of no concern, short of an
overturn of the government and the
reputation Of this agreement, which
is hardly to be conceived as possible
The German people want peace and
an opportunity to regain their pros
perity. Doubtless if the Reichstag
had failed to yield the necessary votes
for the acceptance of the reparations
plan and had been dissolved a new
election would have returned a cham
ber pledged to carry through the
project.

WASHINGTON Street
Foot Bridge Likely
Public Utility Representative
Here for Inspection Al
dermen to Act Tonight

A representative of the Public
Utility Commission, accompanied by
City Engineer BooE and Alderman
Thomas Patten this morning held a
conference concerning the proposed
footbridge over the Central and Le-
high Valley railroad tracks at Wash
ngton street, later making an inspec-
ton of the crossing. The outcome
of the meeting will likely be that the
city will authorize the railroad to
proceed and construct a bridge at
Washington street over the tracks 70
care for pedestrian traffic while the
grade crossing work is under con-
struction.
The construction of this bridge, it
is estimated, will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 and as this work
was not included in the agreement
with the railroads for the crossing
elimination the city will no doubt be
called upon to pay the railroad COM
pany for the bridge.
The aldermen have been petitioned
by those living on the west side of
the tracks and also by many of the
residents on the eastern side. to have
foot-bridge constructed which will
make it possible to get over the
tracks at Washington street during
the elimination work. The danger to
school children in particular. has
been pointed out and the aldermen
decided to take the matter of a foot
bridge up with the Utility Commis-
sion to learn what could be done to
remedy conditions.
The appearance of Inspector Ker-
win of the Utility Commission. in this
city today was the result of the al
derman's letter to the commission.
The aldermen will consider the mat
ter of the bridge at it's committee
session tonight and 1t may authorize
the railroad to go ahead with the
work when 1t meets next Monday
night in regular session.

Delayed by Storm, Big Dirigi-

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. II (By
The Associated ,Press) The Navy
dirigible Shenandoah, delayed be-
cause of storms and headwinds en-
countered last night on her trip from
San Diego to San Francisco along
the California coast, today put a
message in the air to Mayor James
Rolph, Jr., saying the aircraft would
not visit San Francisco until her re-
turn trip.
The Shenandoah continued up the
coast without entering San Francisco
bay.
The message from Commander
Lansdowne said:

doah reaching San Francisco yester-
day before sunset. VIII come to San

AS the news was relayed through
out the city and the disappointed
residents settled down to routine
day, the Shenandoah was reported
off Point Reyes at $3.50 a. m. twenty
three miles north of San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Oct. II
(By The Associated Press )-Cruis-
ing through a storm which delayed
her progress during the night, the
navy dirigible Shenandoah was NOV
ing along the Central California
coast early today into the land of
the Argonauts.
The giant aircraft, released from
her North Island mooring mast at
9:15 yesterday morning for Camp
Lewis. Wash, dropped behind her
schedule after leaving Los Angeles
when she nosed into a strong head
wind disappointed thousands on the
housetops here from dusk until after
midnight awaiting her appearance.
Some apprehension was felt for a
few hours last night over the where
abouts of the airship when no re-
ports were heard in San Francisco
or Los Angeles. The feeling was
allayed soon after midnight, however
when the communications depart
ment of the Mare Island navy yard
announced that radio message
from the Shenandoah said she ex-
pected to be over San Francisco
about daybreak.
"Bucking strong gale, just north
of San Luis Obispo," said another
message to Camp Lewis.
Leaving the storm in it's wake just
after midnight the Shenandoah was
nosing it's way into fair weather air
lines today. She planned to hug the
coast line north. touching Eureka,
Calf. and Astoria. Oregon, before
heading inland for Seattle and Camp
Lewis.
The air cruiser was moving on a
forty eight hour schedule to arrive at
Camp Lewis at 9 a. m. tomorrow
morning, but it was believed the
storms last night would lengthen the
cruising time.
