COUNT MORNER AT LAST
SERVED IN DIVORCE SUIT
Former Peggy Hopkins Joyce's At
torneys Induce Him to With
draw Counter Complaints.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the AsSocia ted Press.
NEW YORK. August 25.-Separa-
tion suit papers finally have been
served upon Count Costa Morner of
Sweden and Chicago by his countess
Of a few months, the former Peggy
Hopkins Joyce, it became known to-
day.
1t also became known that the
count had withdrawn the complain
in his action seeking an annulment
of his marriage to the actress, which
took place in Atlantic City last June
IT was said that this was the result
of warnings of the countess attor-
neys hat some of the allegations
against her in the papers sworn to
progress of the counts suit now
Service of papers in the separation
suit. in which the actress charged
non-support, was effected yesterday
as the count alighted from a motor
car at Forest Hills, Long Island. The
count made voluble protest, one OF
the six process servers said, but ad-
mitted he at last had official notice
of his wife'S action.
He recently asked the Supreme
Court to declare he had not been
served with papers last month, when
process servers slipped the docu-
mentS beneath the door of his Yale
Club quarters. The count declared
the summons had fallen behind a
lattice and had not come into his
hands. Decision on the motion is
pending.

Rome Paper Hopeful at French
Backing of Herriot.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSocia ted Press.
ROME, August 25.-The Serene,
commenting on the vote of confidence
given Premier Herriot by the French
Chamber of Deputies, for his work at
the London international conference,
declares that peace has taken, even
though timidly, new step forward"
The newspaper adds that the approval
of the Herriot policy is at the same
time a condemnation of the Ruhr
policy of former Premier Poincare.
Therefore, it says, one might well
ask why this same Herriot, who so
consistently and bitterly criticised
Peincare for sending troops into the
Ruhr, should now insist that these
troops stay another year."
The editorial continues by stating
the belief that the approval of the
French Chamber of the London pact
will undoubtedly make easier the
task of pushing it through the Sem
ate as well as through the German
Reichstag. 1t is argued that If the
approval of the reparations agree
ment signifies France is taking the
best she can get, it will likewise
signify that Germany will likely de-
eide. to approve as the lesser of two
evils.
1t is concluded that, in any event
the Chambers vote for Herriot sig
nifies a real sign of the eradication
of the seeds of war, which "Clemen-
ceau and Poincare, since the day Of
the armistice, began sowing into the
peace of Versailles" The newspaper
adds that for the first time in ten
years France shows signs of a
tendency to wish to lay down her
arms"

ed in giving a long detailed report on
the London conference to the Reichs-
tag. 1t was a spirited session. broken
by cat-calls or cheers. according to
the political leanings of the deputies.
Foreign Minister Stresemann made
one of the best speeches of his career,
ably defending the London agree
ment, pointing out that Germany's
only course was to accept, as recon-
struction work and the liberation of
occupied territory already had been
delayed long enough and any OBJ
stacleS placed before the Introduction
of the Dawes plan are obstacles to
the rehabilitation of Germany and
the freeing of German territory.
Herr Stresemann said that Ger
many had much to gain from the
agreement. For example, after ac-
ceptance and the advancing of a loan,
the attitude of American capital to-
ward German Industries would be en-
tirely different.
Toward the end of the session, the
Communists again began an uproar,
but it was much milder than that
which occurred on Friday.
