GOSSIPS ARE wondering what
effect Mrs. Douglas Mac Arthur had
on the final results of the Colonel
! Mitchell courtmartial. She was
monotOnous moments by tossing
kisses at her handsome husband who
sat on the Jury Of generals" Mrs
Mac Arthur appeared to be against
Mitchell AS a dashing widow. Mrs.
Cromwell Brooks, of the famous
Philadelphia SALISBURY family, she
was frequently seen with General
Pershing before his retirement from
the Army. At that time Pershing
put into effect the present War
Department aviation policy which
Mitchell assailed Then Mac Arthur
entered the scene. He was promptly
ordered to the Philippines, but some
thing happened The "exile" was
turned into a honeymoon.
WASHINGToN'S DIPLOMATS
are worried Senator Blease of
South Carolina has demanded an in
vestigation of liquor privileges now
enjoyed by representatives of
foreign countries. The Volstead
Act does not affect this group as
their offices are supposed to repre-
sent foreign soil as far as this
government is concerned. Huge
consignments of liquor pour into the
embassies and legations from foreign
countries and nothing can be done
about it, No clear-cut interpre-
tation of the law as it affects
diplomats has ever been rendered
Prohibtionists insist the practice is
wrong as much of this liquor finds its
way down American palates The
Administration is opposing action on
Blease's resolution.
IF COLONEL Mitchell takes the
enforced vacation ordered by the
cOurtmartial, the Administration may
acquire some more gray hairs. Sen
ator Lenroot of Wisconsin comes up
for reelection next year and Mitchell
would seriously consider entering the
race if President Coolidge approves
the verdict. The flying colonel"
is planning big game hunt now but
there are so many legal matters to
consider that the hunt and a Senate
race are both ''in the air." Veteran
politicians concede Mitchell has
good chance to beat Lenroot on an
aviation issue, particularly as the
La Toilette organization is certain
to oppose the Senator.
SENATE LEADERS of the fight
against the World Court privately
admit they hold slight hopes of pre-
venting this country from joining
For that reason all of their oratory
will be directed at amending the
resolution to safeguard historic
American policies against becoming
involved in European affairs. A
sufficient number of reservations
would make our entry into the
tribunal joke. Thus all their
/ battle ground is certain to be unon
reservations. There are ample votes
available right now to pass the re-
solution reservations.
WASHINGTON HAS ruled the
familiar Salvation Army Christmas
kettles from its streets. No longer
will the generosity of passerby be
logged by the familiar keep the pot

and present accounts indicate it may
prove as satisfactory Friends of
the organization are nevertheless
making efforts to secure a reversal

DWIGHT W. Morrow, the in

secretary of the Treasury Winston
are again persistently mentioned in
connection with reports that Secret
airy of the Treasury Mellon plans to
resign. Morrow, close personal
friend of the President, is given a
good chance to succeed Mellon.
