Sen, PEPPER HAS
COMPOSITE PLAN
FOR WORLD COURT

Washington. May pa composite
plan for adherence to the permanent
court of international justice with
reservations was laid before the sem
ate today in a resolution drafted by
Senator Pepper Republican, Penn
sylvania, after two days OF consul.
tation with his colleagues on the
foreign relations committee.
1t was referred at once to the COM
mittee which is to continue in ses-
sion tomorrow. probably with the
Pepper proposal under discussion.
It provides for modification of the
proposal transmitted to the senate
by President Harding in February.
1923, so as to transfer the election or
judges from the council and assem-
bly, of the League of Nations to
similar bodies appointed by sigma
tories to the court statute. and pro-
poses also the summoning of a third,
Hague conference to clarity and
codify international law.
At its meeting today the senate
committee continued its general dis
cussion of underlying principles"
without special reference to any OF
participating reported strengthen
ed conviction that the views of the
various groups within the committee
could be reconciled to permit the
reporting of u chairman, and sug-
gestions of the form this might take
conceded closely with the language
of the Pepper proposal. The same
object was sought also in a resolu-
ton introduced during the day by
Senator King, Democrat, Utah, who
proposed adherence to the Harding
plan with definite amendments to
protect the United States in the
election of judges, voting representa-
ton and the rendition of advisory
opinions.
Senator Pepper said he was acting
for himself alone, although he be-
lieyed the proposal submitted today
did, in fact. meet every phase or
opinion in the committee.
1.-THE resolution contemplates ad-
herence by the United States to the
permanent court in response to the
recommendation of Presidents Hard
ing and Coolidge" he said. 1T does
not provide for new court, but &C
cepts the present tribunal. The
present judges continue in office ana
the 1urlSdlctlon al proCeuuie VA 'He
court are unaffected.
1.-THE resolution gives effect to the
determination of both presidents to
avoid all legal relationship to the
League of Nations. The court. UNI
der the resolution would become in
fact a world court, and all Ameri-
can interests would be safeguarded.
1.-The resolution is an attempt to
give effect to the presidents policy
and to reconcile as far as possible all
divergent views as to how this can
be done"

COLD CLINICS TO COOLIDGE
ALL ENGAGEMENTS CALLED OFF
u. s. Navy Not on
Par with Britain
View Sec. Wilbur

Washington. May disappearing
the contention that the American
navy, while stronger than Japan's,
is not on a par with Great Britains,
Secretary Wilbur in a lengthy re-
port transmitted today to the house
naval committee, declared the COM
parative fighting strength of the
three navies appeared to be 5-4-3.
The report was in response to q
resolution by Representative Britton
OF Illinois, ranking Republican on
the committee, which asked whether
the 5-5-3 ratio fixed by the Washing
ton arms conference was being main
tanned so far as the United States
is concerned.
Much of the report was q reitera-
ton OF observations made recently
by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt in
a letter to Chairman Butler of the
committee, cOmenting on the state
ments Of w. B. Shearer. a naval ex-
pert, that the actual ratio is 5-3-1,
with America 1.
Mr.. Wilbur, as did the assistant
secretary. pointed out that the 5-4-3
estimate docs not take into con-
sideration strategically located and
well equipped naval bases which add
greatly to the sea power of a nation,
nor does it take into consideration
the relative strength of the various
merchant marines"
Mr.. Wilbur urged that congress
authorize the moderniZation of 13
battleships-the New York, Texas,
Florida. Utah, Arkansas and Wyo-
ming to provide additional deck
torpedo and mine protection, for oil
instead of coal burners. and for
some increased elevation of guns
and the New Mexico, Mississippi,
Idaho, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Ne
vada and Oklahoma to increase the
angle of elevation Of guns and to af-
ford additional torpedo protection.
He also urged that funds be pro-
vided for construction of eight fast
cruisers.

CHANCELLOR FLINT
RAPS RADICAL WAVE
PACIFISM VOICED

Syracuse, N. Y, May 22.-(By A.
P.)-The attitude of Chancellor
Charles Wesley Flint, OF Syracuse
University. toward the present wave
of radical pacifist sentiment through
the universities and churches of
this country was revealed clearly
today when he was sworn in as a
colonel in the United States Army
reserve corps as a result of an ap-
plication made on his own initiative.
The wave of student pacifism struck
Syracuse University a few weeks ago
when a number of prominent under
graduates organized a peace league
and sought to spread propaganda
against the University r. o. T. C.
Chancellor Flint's application for
enrolment in the reserve corps
came as a result of QUESTIONABLE
sent out by the war department to
him as head of an institution sup
porting a r. o. T. c.. Among the
questions was one asking whether
he would accept a commission in
the reserve corps. He answered in
the affirmative and made applica-
ton.
Colonel Flint said in a statement
issued after receiving his commits
sion:
II have felt it fitting that the
head of an institution with a r., o.
L. c. should himself be member
OF reserve corps, if, in the opinion
OF his government, he is qualified
and could render service of value
in time of war. For that reason 1
placed myself at the disposal of our
government and am proud to be in
this position of potential service.
Il am an apostle of peace and
along with about 100,O0O,000 other
Americans have no use for war with
all its brutality, futility and waste,
and shall do everything reasonable
ana religious within my power to
keep America and all the rest of
the world out of war.
But if in this 1, working hum
bly, with all others, with them also,
fail, then l am ready to render any
service within my power in the only
way left for service"
In another statement on the anti
war crusade of the churches, DR..
Flint criticized the pacifist report of
the special committee of the general
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church now in session at Spring.
field, Mass. He said:
Il cannot believe the general con-
ference will be misled from support
ing real, practical peace move
ments into a fanatical paper mache
warfare against war"
Continuing, DIR. Flint said:
Hundreds of thousands of Meth
odists would, like myself, indignant
ly reject any such pronouncement as
was recommended by sub-commit-
tee whose representative character
IS properly questioned, since many
of them chose that committee in
order that they might say these
things. Such a statement would be
emphatically repudiated by hosts of
us, no matter ii 1t could secure a
majority in general conference,
which apparently it&could not; not
only was their recommendation
turned down, but the committee re-
porting it was turned down and a
new committee ordered. 1 expect
from them q strong statement FOR
promoting peace and combating the
causes of war;"

so as when a husband and wife went
anywheres together the first named
would hope that who ever seen them
would not think they was together.
The gen. history of the married
women cases which has came under
my observation is practically all the
same and as follows: The wife, who
We will call Bertha, begins limiting
around that Lucy Jarvis has just had
her hair bobbed and looks too cute.
So then the husband who we will call
Rudy says maybe she does, but when
a woman is married it is high time
for her to quit looking too cute. Well
this line of small talk keeps up as
long as Rudy can stand listening to
lit but at the end of or wks. he
generally always gives in and says
oh go ahead and get it bobbed and
don't let US hear no more about 1t.
So Bertha consults with her gal
friends who had had It done most re-
Gently and finds out that she will
make Il big mistake If she don't get
lit done by a certain French bobber
that just landed last Saturday on the
Rochambeau and knows just how
they are bobhing II in Paris so as to
show the outline of the head. So she
goes to the French bobber and he
sokes her S5 for what a native Amer
lean wop could do whole lot better
for $.35. and then she goes home
and looks in the glass and swoons.
When she comes to she spends the
rest of the pm. trying to kid herself
into believing it amt true and finely
Rudy comes home and she summons
all her strenth and runs up TO him
and says how do I look. Great. he
replies, with a slight cough.
This is the latest bob" says Ber-
tha. II had it done by Prof. Henri
that just landed from Paris. He says
il was fashionable to have it bobbed
SO as to show the outline of the head.
Does this show the outline of my
Ihead?"
YES" says Rudy. but he don't add
that as far as beauty is concerned
the outline of a PERSONS head, male
or female, is about on par with
pickereps profile, and that is the rea-
son that when somebody mentions
to some of we boys that we are get

The next or 4 mos. of Bertha's
life is spent in doing the best she can
with the material she has got left
and then asking her husband and

way and how they like it that way
and etc, and, of course, they say
they like 1t much better. But the

mediately made ready for the second
and, thus far, longest cruise of her
career.
Sailing from New York in June, 1910.
she set course for the West Indies,
and before she returned home was
destined to circle the globe. At some
time she touched every known con-
tinent in the world, traversing the
highways and byways of the seven
seas. Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay,
Uruguay, Cape Town, Africa; Mauri-
thus Island. st. Paul Island, Batavia,
India, the East Indies, Manila, Suva,
the Fiji Islands. Papeete, around Cape
Horn to St. Helena-these were but a
few of the stops on the itinerary of
the Carnegie.
1t was December 10, 1918. when the
Carnegie raised the lights of Coney
Island and docked at her berth in the
harbor of New York. She had trav-
eled 92,S29 nautical miles and spent
798 days at sea, not counting her
numerous stops at ports en- route.
And when she returned home her
captain was the sole survivor of the
original crew and scientific staff. The
others returned earlier for different
