The action Of the appellate tribunal
reverses the decree Of the District
Supreme Court, which had dismissed
the bill brought by Magg. Chief
that he is unable to believe any of
the testimony on which Magg rests
his title to the stock.
The majority opinion Of the court
holds that as the transfer of the
stock from Georg Wustenfeld. u
German. to Magg, was effected Feb
ruary %, 1917. several weeks before
the United States entered the war
and when no one even contemplated
that the United States would be at war
with Germany or that there would be
any possibility of the contiscation by
the United States of the stock IN
question" it was a completed trans
action and the legal title had passed
war. The stock therefore was not
subjest to seizure, the court finds.
The Court of Appeals was unani-

By tire Associated Press.

LONDON, March 3.-The most strik-
ing editorial statement on the Mac
donald-Poincare correspondence is
expressed by the conservative Morn
ing Post, which ordinarily is strongly
hostile to the government. This
newspaper says the correspondence
will be cordially welcomed in both
countries as showing clearly that
the two statesmen have got a stage
farther on the road leading to q du-
rable understanding" 1t sees In the
certain tendencies
which "if tenaciously pursued may
end the nightmare of indecision and
suspicion which weighs upon France
and Great Britain"
One of these tendencies is declared
to be that Premier Madonal "sees
that the United States cannot cure
Europe. but that Europe must cure
herself"
Attitude of America.
The flaw in all the tentative sug-
gestions which have been made di-
rectly or indirectly to the United
States in recent years." the editorial
continues, LAY in the blind refusal to
see that no American government
it would simply be used as a pawn
in game of Franco-British antagon-
ism.
Already the better atmosphere in
Europe has led President Coolidge
to make statement, which, although
cautious and vague, clearly points to
American participation in a confer
ence which may settle once for all
the cognate issues of reparations and
interallied debts"
Praises Macdonald.
The editorial concludes by praising
Mr.. Macdonald'S "statesmanlike ac-
ceptance of the realities Of the diplo-
matte situation" 1t assures him that
If 1t brings peace to Europe he will
receive the ungrudging support and
approval OF the conservatives.
The other morning papers all re-
gard the premiers' correspondence as
a sign of approaching settlement Of
issues now clouding the European

Talking Ray Of Phofophone

At the recent meeting OF the Brit

full talking ray Of the photophone.
The greatest advantage of this ap-
paratus is its secrecy; only persons
to whom the ray is directed can re
ceive the message. A ray of light
is reflected from an electric lamp, and
the vibrations of the human voice
cause the light ray to tremble and
oscillate slightly. These tremblings
are picked up at the receiving end of
the photophone by selenium cells, and
translated back again, through tele-
phone receiver, into ineligible sounds.
