Chicago, June 9 R,-The Chicago Tribune today says that Charlotte Vanderlip, 19-year-old daughter of Frank A. VanderIip. retired New York finsneier, has cmphatically de- nied rumors current at the Univer- sity of Chicago that she had been engaged to Norman Wright of Chicago and that her mother had made her break the engagement.
 Miss Vanderlip has been seen fre- auently with Wright, former stu- dent at the university. 10 whom she was introduced by fraternity brother of Wrights, the Tribune says. Campus gossip had it that Mrs. Vanderltp had asked that Miss Vanderlip abrogate the engagement on the ground that she was too young to think of marriage.
 Mrs. Vanderlip brought her daughter to the university last autumn because she wanted her to taste real college deniocracy." Pre- viously Charlotte had attended RFyn Mawr.

 So far as the Polish and Czecho- Slovakia boundaries are concerned, France as the eodmother of those two members of the little entente would have been glad to have Eng land come to an agreement about them but influential British states men are on record as thinking these boundaries can be changed later which opens the way for future dis cussions in which France will prob ably take part against such change The cutting of West Prus- sia from Germany proper by the Danzig corridor and the Upper Silcsian situation are the things Germany has on her mind regard ing the eastern frontier, The future will determine what will be done about them.

THE FIFTH WARD AGAIN

While the hands of the police commissioners, which meets to- night appear to be tied regarding the manifest necessity of yielding more policemen for the fifth ward due to the failure of the board of finance and taxation to grant sufTl- eient money to employ more men the first page of The Herald yes terday tod of another fatality in the ward as the apparent result of a fight.
 It was the second fatality within 8 few weeks. Of course, it cannot be said absolutely that such occur ences would have been prevented had there been more policemen pa trolling the ward, but the probabii- ties are strong in that direction.
 Street fighting does not so readily take place when there are bluecoats in sight. When a man can be struck down while on the sidewalk it is evident there was TO policeman nearby 10 maintain order,
 The board of finance and taxation has not been heard from since these two fatalities occurred. There are many citizens who are of the opin- ion that less economy would be a benefit to the fifth ward, not to overlook the kin and relatives of the victims of such disorders as have been ehroplcled recently.
 It may also he possible for the Common Council and the police commissioners 10 show some au- thority; or at least make some pointed suggestion.

THE SECURITY PACT

The note which British Foreign Secretary Austen Chamberlain de- livered to French Foreign Minister Briand yesterday, guaranteeing the present Belgian frontier, which. is to be followed by an invi- tation to Germany to negotiate a security pact 10 this effect, will have great pacific consequences in the history of Europe.

Love Lines to a Second Wife

Love Lines 10 a Second Wife
 CIn the freak manner Of the
 younger generationl
 By Marion Hartman My dear, my love for you is great, And 1t grows stronger every day; I'm thankful that kindly fate Threw such a darling wife my way. And while I'm no authority On what perfect wife should be, Still I'm no amateur, you see; So hearken 10 my lay. l love the color of your hair, The gentle way your footsteps glide, l see about you everywhere Reminders of my first dear bride. You make cake as good as she. Which makes a three base hit with
 me,
 And just as good cup of tea As she, my first, who died. When left alone I wondered what Poor lonesome little me would do: Then, To. It was my lucky lot To run across and capture you. But oft the thought has come to
 mind,
 Should you, like she, leave ma be-
 hind,
 I'll bet I'd have jeb to find A third one like you two.

Court Protects Authors Against BrOadcasting

Berlin. June Q P) - Broadcast ing a writer's poems essays, or other literary productions is subject 10 the same copyright provisions as is the publication of such works in print, according to a decision of the Berlin courts,
 Gerhart Hauptmann and Hugo yon Hoffmannsthal, two of the best known authors of Germany, filed suit against a Berlin radio sending company for broadcasting their works without their permission and without paying the authors any royalty.
 In the case of Hauptmann the court issued a preliminary injune- tion restraining the radio concern from broadcasting his works. 1t was understood that the decision in the Hofmannsthal case was pending and would serve as a precedent. The court sustained Hofmannsthal.

Polling a Clever Pair of Rogues

By Dr. Walter F. T'rapFock
 The numerous train hold-ups of which l read remind me of one l once saw carried out on the Black Diamond Express of the Lohigh road as it was crossing the Rocky mountains. In the express car was sack containing s25O,005 in large bills.
 The bandits had evidently been tipped off for they worked with great eXpertness. They hoped on the train as it was pulling slowly round one of the many u-shaped curves for which this famous route is noted, and so certain and sure were their operations that they had taken possession of the treasure and jumped off the train while 1t was still grooming round the horseshoe,
 Then, from my window in the coach just back of the cXpress=car, I saw a curious thing, namely the two robbers walking across the U made by the Curving train and hop ping onto the rear platform as it came along. I saw at once the cool effrontery of their design, namely, to ride back 10 civilization on the very train they had robbed!
 A hint to the conductor made it possible 10 shoot wire to the near est station, and l wish you could have seen the faces of the two men when I covered them with my re- volver as we rolled into the station,
 Who are you?" one of them de- manded.
 Walter E. Traproek," an swered.
 His face fell. "The jig's up. Bill" he muttered, We may as well go along quietly"
 He knew that I would not have hesitated te drill him through at the slightest move,

When the drigihle Los Angeloa, en route from Lakehurst 10 st. Paul, experienced engine trouble while in the vicinity Of Cleveland, if turned back and reached Lakehurst in safety. The return trip was made with two Of the five engines out Of commission.
 The suggestion might be made that had the Los Angeles been en route 10 the Arctic in an cndoayOr to eXtricate the Amundsen e2pedi- ton, the same thing might have happened and returning to it's base : might not have been so easy. Of course, there never has been all in tenton of having the home base as far from the North Pole at Lake hurst In such a case a mooring would have to be placed at Etah, Greenjandi or some other northern point.
