LONDON, August 16.-The conclu-
sion Of the London conference has
been marked by some confusion. This
is not surprising. for the conference
was conducted by politicians and ex-
perts who naturally did not employ
the ordinary rules of diplomacy. The
United States may f1atter itself that
1T was represented by time-tried am
baSsadors who were well acquainted
with the ins and outs of the game,
whereas diplomats were precisely
what France lacked.
French opinion is generally inclined
to reproach Premier Herriot with
having exerted himself too much and
finally by having been led to discuss
that which he did not want dis
cusSed.
Subjects Were Banned.
1t had understood that neither the
military evacuation of the Ruhr nor
interallied debts nor economic CON
ventions should figure in the agenda
of the conference. The Dawes scheme,
which avoided these delicate problems
and devoted itself to a system of
guaranteed German payments. was to
have been the sole subject of dis
cuSsion.
But what happened. on the con-
trary? The English at the Spithead
review and the German delegates
sought, with the tacit consent of
bankers and other delegates, to drive
France into discussing the military
evacuation of the Ruhr. The i'm
mediate reaction of the French, of
" hom new sacrifices were demanded,
was to seek to obtain counterparts.
That was only natural They were
thus induced to undertake the dis
cussion of commercial treaty with
Germany.
Not satisfied with this somewhat
premature discussion, the French re-
minded the British government that

iatterly, Premier Macdonald, had

BERLIN. August 16. Several

go on our-day-a-week schedules be-
cause of the economic crisis. In
July alone, it is reported, at least 900
bankruptcy cases were started. The
number of iquidations and protests
of business control is continually in
creasing.
The furious hunt for capital credit
has upset the interest rate tremend-
ously. There have been cases where
a loan of $4,000 marks in cash, paid
interest as on 100000 marks at per
cent. Clever corporation OF many

made proposition as to payment OF
the Franco British debt. Naturally
the English delegates did not evade
this delicate problem. When a debtor,
generally considered as honest. comes
and talks about money he owes, 1t is
not customary to show him the door.
Security Issue Rises.
AS a general rule it is the creditor
who makes the first discreet step, but
this is time when customs are
changing, so much so that the Eng
lish, in their turn, let it be known
that if that question should be raised
again they would seek to induce the
United States to consider a review of
the interallied debts, including the
Mellon-Baldwin agreement. But this
is not all. There were so many mill
tary experts in London that the ques-
tion of security could not be ignored.
although it had no place in the Dawes
report. 1t was, at least, decided to
discuss security in relation to the
evacuation of Cologne, Dusseldorf,
Duisburg and Ruhrcort, that is, OF
the region occupied under the Ver-
sailles treaty for five years.
Then, it must be remembered that
there were opposing economic inter-
ests to be reconciled. These included
very divergent views upon such ques-
tions as transfers and deliveries in
kind and in cash; reinvestment in
Germany of funds which cannot be
transferred: question of complete am
neSty in occupied territories, and be-
hind the scenes always were claims
of bankers insisting upon adequate
safeguards for a German loan. From
all this it may be readily appreciated
how great were the difficulties to be
surmounted.
Exhaustion Brings Agreement.
Finally, sheer physical exhaustion
proved to be the powerful element in
inducing the conference to an Under
standing. Home politics played part,
too. Ambassador Kellogg could not be
inSensble to the effect in the United
States of the successful launching of Il
scheme which bears the name of the
vice presidential candidate of hS own
party. Likewise Mr.. Macdonald was
desirous of enhancing the prestige of
his own government, which holds Office
without party majority. Thus it came
about that the French claim regarding
the Ruhr evacuation received unanimous
allied support
This combination was too powerful
to be resisted by the German govern
ment. which in reality represents moth
ing but an unstable coalition, and, in
deed, Germany, having obtained suf-
ficient concessions with immediate
evacuation of railway functions or ports.

CHICAGO KIWANIANS
 AID HUNGRY KIDDIES
Prevent Unhappiness and Dissatisfac tion, By Hclpnig Children to
 Become Better Citizens

Chicago, Aug. 19.-How to help
 privileged children along the
 path toward good citizenship is one
 of the problems the Kiwanis clubs of
 Chicago have studied for a number
 of years. Various movements with l this end in view have been carried out
 with gratifying results, officers say,
 and now an effort toward a happier state of mind is to be made through
 the child's stomach.
 "Sociologists are generally agreed that the chances are decidedly against the undernourished boy or girl" they assert. .Hunger breeds unhappiness and unhappiness breeds bitterness against those more, fortunately it. uated Kikanians believe that build ing up the bodies of these underfed little folk will tend to produce a cheerier outlook on life, in other words, that more good citizens will develop from group of well fed children than will come from the same number of undernourished children.
 "The Kiwanis clubs therefore per fected arrangements to distribute dur ing the summer 1,000,O00 free bottles of milk. Mothers in the poorer sec tions of the city were given coupon books entiting them to given num- Der of quarters of milk over certain period, new books to be issued as needed"

SAYS FORGED TELEGRAM
 CAUSED WORLDWIDE WAR
Former Austrian official Declares Emperor Francis Joseph Was
 Victim of Fake Message

Vienna. August 19.--lt was Il forged telegram that induced Emperor Fran cis Joseph of ustria-tlungary to de- clar war against Serbia in July, 1914, according to statement by Colonel Seliger, who at the time the war began was chief of the press bureau of the Vienna war office, pub lished in the Vienna Tageblatt. Col. Seiger says that q telephone message to the press bureau reported that Francis Joseph at last had signed the war declaration, but that he had been persuaded to do so only after great difficulty. The actual signing did not take place, asserts the writer, until Count Rerchtold, Austrian foreign minister, showed the emperor a telegram which stated that Serbians had raided Bosnian territory and in the fighting there had been some 400 soldiers killed.
 Col. Seiger quotes the late em- peror as saying: If so much blood has already. been spilled, then was is unavoidable"
 It was the very next day, says the writer, that Count Kinsky, the famous courier, informed the press bureau chief that the telegram was a forgery an dthat actually there had been but four casualties in the fighting along the Bosnian frontier
 Just who 1t was who forged the telegram is not stated.

JAPANESE PROTEST
DELIVERED TO HUGHES

STATE DEPARTMENT SILENT
Embassy Officials Also Refuse to
Discuss Matter.

Ambassador Hanihara, acting on
instructions from his government,
delivered today to Secretary Hughes
the protest made by Toxic against
the exclusion provision of the new
immigration act.
The ambassador called at the State
Department shortly before noon and
was received at once by Secretary
Hughes. Neither he nor the Secre-
tary, it was said, would have any
statement to make.
The same silence prevails at the
embassy. 1t is known, however. that
Ambassador Hanihara has not been
instructed by his government in the
protest to Secretary Hughes. With
this step accomplished today, it re-
mains only for the diplomat to send
the customary formal report to To-
kio, announcing that his instructions
have been carried out.
Publication Withheld.
A report to that effect will be ca
bled to Toxic from Washington prob
ably tonight and with it will go a
brief account of the conference be-
tween the ambassador and Secretary
Hughes.
No plans have been made for pub
lication of the protest, either by the

Secretary Hughes and other admin
