Camille FlammariOn, Great AS-
 trOnOIler, Gives Views

Berne, Switzerland, Aug. 23.-Rep.
 resentative Theodore E. Burton of
 Ohio declared before a meeting of the
 inter-p -parlamentary union here yester-
 day that 1t has been the predominant opinion in the United States that American participation in European conferences and memberships in leagues would be futile ESQ long as the bitter antagonisms which have prevailed are rife" Such participa- ton, he added, would be a departure from traditional and long established policy.
 MT. Burton said he had been re- quested to offer some suggestion upon the attitude of the United States tow ard the European situation but he made it clear that he undertook this with no official sanction but as 8 care full observer having perhaps excellent opportunities for information.
 There is the most intense interest
 in the United States fin all that tran spires in Europe" Representative Burton asserted. "Our newspapers give scarcely less, sometimes even more, attention to conferences and measures which look to the settlement of controversies. It is true that among a small minority this interest is based upon commercial and finan- cial consideration, but with the great mass it is the manifestation of hope there may be peaceful and con- tented Europe"
 The American representative recall ed that the Monroe Doctrine was by no means policy of aggression and that the United States, in dealing with Latin-A American countries, aimed only at preventing conflicts between them and at promoting confidence and good will.
 While not assuming membership in the League of Nations" he continued, i've look with satisfaction upon any accomplishment which may be the re- suit of its deliberations and we have ourselves taken part in humanitarian initiated by the league, by private benefaction | also for their prom otion."
 He referred to the declared inten- | ton of President Coolidge to invite | another conference similar to that of | 1921-22 and mentioned the work of

New York Newspaper Fires Re. porter for Perpetratins Hoax

New York, Aug, 2a,-old seafsrsrs,
 boolleEgers and prohibition officers
 smiled eynieally this morning and said
 T told you so," whenever the l7.000-
 ton floating cabaret was mentioned and 1t was mentioned often, For the
 famous rum ship was admitted last
 night to he a phantom ship that sailed only on the nebulous seas of a reporters imagination.
 The reported that perpetrated the hoax has been discharged from the sian of the New York Herald Tribune which published the story on August 10. and the paper has printed a re- traction of the article with an expla- nation of how 1t all happened.
 IL seems that 10 days ago someone whose credibllity was respected told the Herald-Tribune that a large ship was anchored i2 miles off our coast between Bayshore and Westhampton and was dispensing liquor to all those who had the hardihood and the wherewithal 10 board her.
 A reporter was assigned to 'iset the story" and after two days absence from the office he reported that he had 1t. He wrote a graphic descrip- ton of sumptuous floating bar, with luxurious appointments that would put to shame the grill rooms of the most continental hotels. He described the ship, her crew. the habitues and even gave her exact location.
 In fact he described everything too well-too accurately. Captains of ves- sels who had passed that spot on the craft. when queried about her, said they hadn't seen flicker of light anywhere near the spot where she was supposed to have laid at anchor | This despite the fact that he had said | she was brilliantly illuminated.
 The captain of the Seneca, the rev. enue cutter that was assigned by the | government to run her down, after the coast for miles around, that ne had found no trace ,f her.
 Suspicious were aroused and the Herald Tribune instituted an indepen- lent investigation. Soon 1t became ,vident that the story of the floating 'abaret was only fable.
 The reporter was sent for and close- y questioned. At first he maintained n air of injured innocence, steadfa.st- y asserting that his story was true. Following the questioning he left the ffice promising to return the next ay with corroborating evidence. In- tead he wrote a letter, rendering his esignation and admitting the yarn . yas false.

for the Whole Family

Without counting the daily utility of Chevrolet for going back and forth to work, shopping or taking the children to school, etc., Its value in saving doctors bills. broadening your mental horizon and keeping the whole family physically fit, amounts to more than the cost of the car and its upkeep.
 It Is more of an essential to the modern family than anything else but home.
 Chevrolet meets the requirements of the modern family because 1t Is economical to buy and maintain, because of its excellent appearance and riding comfort, because 1t can be depended upon, and because 1t is so easy to drive that any member of the family can use it.

 Pooling the Nugget Man.
 Mir. Monier has countless stories to relate dealing with his experiences when visiting in the West. He tells how in Hermosa, town of six inhab- itants, he wanted meat, but 1t was not during the slaughtering season. so he had to take the daily train for 20 miles. When he arrived and had pur- chased his meat, he had to wait for some time for a return freight train, so he wandered into store and asked to see some nuggets. The storekeep- CT laid some out and then tried to leave MT. Monier alone in the room for few minutes, but Mir. Monier was too wise for this and checkmated every excuse which would enable the willy Westerner to claim Mir. Monier had stolen some of the nuggets.
 As a result of his travels and &C., quaintances, Mir. Monier'e den is con- pletely lined with souvenirs of the West. There are photographs of all western characters from Sitting Bull himself to the cowboys in the road show. One Is of Dick Johnson, a brute who could lift a mustang; he met his downfall at the hands of the London police, but 1t took six Boobies to capture him.
 War Bonnet of Eagle Feathers.
 There are many beautiful speci- mems of bead work in the collection, including moccasins for the dead, suuaw leggins, holsters, knife sheaths, tobacco pouches, jackets, and an h. dian necktle. MT. Monier also has a war bonnet of eagle feathers, medi- ] cine mans hat, a rawhide shield, 0 bone preastplate, and drumhead, besides numerous arrows and toma- hawks. Chief historical interest cen- ters around a tomahawk which was picked up on the scene of Clusters Massacre and given to MT. Monier. There is also section from an Indian coffin and 8 hat band made with marvellous patience from horse hair. These are but a few samples of what s perhaps the largest Indian collec- lion In New England, and as a side inc there are fossils and curious rock formations from the Bad Lands.
 The old West is gone the actors who played In it's dramas have passed lway, and new set of mechanically equipped farmers and Babbitt-llke boosters now rule the old land of TO- nance, but in the heart and memory ,f at least one New Britainite the old lays are perpetuated and loved.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The cotton

Der to 23.38c, or Il to 16 points net

The early decline was checked by

has created much comment among

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright. 1924
LONDON, July 3.-Allied diplo-
mats now are looking forward con-
fidently to the application Of the
Dawes scheme, perhaps by the mid
die Of September, and forsee the
appointment Of an American bust
ness man as chief commissioners Of
Germany's controlled revenues.
No names have been mentioned,
but certain prominent American
bankers undoubtedly will come in
for consideration. Whoever finally
takes over the task will enjoy great
err authority in Europe than has
ever been delegated to an American.
He will hold unlimited powers over
Germany's financial policy as well
as administration Of her banking
system.
Under the control outlined in the
Dawes report, the chief commission
er's grip on Germany's economic
system will approach that of the
chancellor of the exchequer. Should
Germany default in fulfilling any
section Of the scheme he would au-
tomatically become a sort of finan-
cial dictator.
Preparatory to the allied confer
ence here on July Is considerable
attention is being given to Ger
many's plan for acceptance. Interest
for the moment is centered in the
scheme for formation OF the Ger
many bank of issue.
Latest reports from Berlin indi-
cate q desire to maintain the Reicbe-
bank, not in its present form but
remodeled to conform to the ideas
set forth in the Dawes report. Safe
guards such as are contemplated
under the control of an American
commissioner, it is believed here,
would create such a feeling of con-
fidence that an international loan
for Germany would receive instant
