ern front. If either one of the coun-
tries should violate the compact. 1t
will be the duty of Great Britain
and Italy to lend aid to the aSgrieved
party.
Arbitration of all disputes is neces-
sary. None of the agreements out
laws war. 1t is clearly stated that
in some circumstances war is leSiti-
mate: but the treaties seek to pro-
vide, far as is possible, to prevent
Warlike conditions from arising.
Nowhere in today's newspapers are
the treaties hailed as absolutely Sc
curing future peace of Europe. They
are described as "a promising at
tempt to return to the old farIll,'
party of Europe and TO arrange quar-
rels on the basis of rea SON"
Confidence is expressed by the
writer's that the treaties will receive
the ratification of the various par
liaments concerned. especially in
view of the fact that they cannot
be amended.
The first practical result of the
LoCarno security pact will be the
withdrawal of the British troops from
the Cologne Bridgehead, it is stated
in official quarters, and this should
be accomplished within three months.
This serves to corroborate unof-
fetal expressions made in Paris yes
terday, based on the interview there
between the British foreign secretary.

NEW YORK. October 20.-Broad-
way cabarets and supper clubs were
the objective today of the most sweep
ing prohibition drive yet waged along
the famous thoroughfare. Thirty of
the best known night resorts were
served with summons and complaint
by members of United States District
Attorney Buckner's staff.
Throughout last night and early to-
day the Federal prosecutors men Wis
tied the all-night places and left pa
pers requiring the owners to appear
in Federal Court to answer charges of
selling liquor. Some of the places
were off the Great White Way, one
being the Lido Venice, exclusive sup
per club in East F'ifty-third street,
near Fifth avenue.
The action against the 80 places
was Mr.. Buckner's first step in his
announced plan TO paddock approx
mately 100 of the leading Manhattan
resorts, mostly along Broadway, sus-
pected of selling liquor.
Noted Resorts Included.
Included in today's list of cabarets
and supper clubs were the Del-Fel
Club. near Times Square: the Piping
Rock and the Game Cock restaurants,
east of Fifth avenue: the Picadilly-
Hampton Rendezvous, the Picca dilly
Supper Club, the Half Moon and the
Hotsy Totsie, in the Broadway dis
trict, and the Golden Eagle. in Green
wich Village.
Some Of the places were on what
Mr.. Buckner termed his encore list,
their arrangements having been en-
joined from ever again violating the
prohibition law. In such places all
walters were summoned. Among these
were the Lido Venice, the Del-Fey
Club and the Piping Rock.
The walters were ordered to appear
before the Federal grand jury today.
Scenes of excitement prevailed in
some of the resorts upon the entry of
Government agents and policemen.
In some cases. the process serving
squads reported, the crash of many
liquor bottles being hastily broken to
destroy evidence. could be heard be-
fore entrance was gained.
Mr.. Buckner today made known the
discovery that the Del-Fey Club sup.
piled it's patrons with liquor through
a pipe connecting with another build
ing. Scotch, gin. or champagne could
be obtained by turning a certain fau-
Get, the prosecutor said, adding that
this club was under the same man
agement that had operated the Ell

Mayor Kendrick annbunced today that
he would make formal request of
President Coolidge to extend Gen.
Smedley D. Buffers leave of absence

the President but none has come from
the mayor. Until such request is

President Coolidge believes a limita
tfon of ornaments conference In Eu-
rope would be helpful and useful, and
hopes the Locarno security pact will
expedite the holding of such confer
ence
If it is possible for Europe to reach
an agreement for the reduction of land
armements, it was said at the White
House today, Mr.. Coolidge would
favor such step. He realizes that the
United States has little, if anything, to
offer in the way of reduction of its
land forces but, at the same time,
holds that any question involving a
further limitation of naval armaments
could be considered by a conference in
this country with greater hope Of a
successful agreement.
The President recognizes that no
step can be taken by the Washington
Government in the direction of a
Naval limitation conference until the
interested nations have been sounded
out. In the meantime, he is willing
that the Washington Government
should do all in its power, without
jeopardizinS the national interests, to
help in the European Situation-pre-
umably in effecting an agreement on
the question of land forces.
The Locarno pact is recognized by
President Coolidge as an exceedingly
gratifying convention. He has been
informed by Secretary Kellogg that
the State Department expects within
few days to begin a careful analysis
of the document.
The fact that the security pact
was drawn by statesmen who had
political considerations to keep in
mind and that they were able to reach
the agreement is held by the Presi-
dent to be of outstanding Importance.
For that reason, he contends, it is a
step in advance of the Dawes plan,
which was arrived at by men who
were freed from political consider
alton and not compelled to think of
their own future as they worked.

The occupation of this territory is
the first step toward ending the
nominal protectorate established by
Italy over the Sultanates in 1889. This
proved advantageous because of the
