Br Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, March 25.-Foreisn Min
lister Austen Chamberlain's outline OF
Great Britains foreign policy, de-
livered in the House OF Commons on
Tuesday, in which he pledged his
country to the idea of security
through new treaties similar to those
existing before the war, has left the
country rather cold. but he has
aroused intense interest among
diplomats.
All of those old activities, especially
between legations of smaller coun-
tries in London, again are in full
swing. Ministers pay hurried calls
to neighboring legations, but refuse
TO divulge the purport of their con-
versations, preferring to surround
their work with complete secrecy.
This atmosphere of intrigue is the
forerunner of many months of private
negotiations between European coun-
tries seeking, as Mr.. Chamberlain
put it, "a solid underpinning for
Europe's peace"
Eastern Frontier Mt Issue.
Germany's offer of definite pacts
guaranteeing her western frontiers
appears satisfactory, but there is an
element of doubt in what she offers
to do regarding the frontiers between
Poland and smaller eastern states.
Germany is still unwilling to pledge
her word to protect those frontiers
as they now stand, but will agree not
to attempt TO change them by resort
to war.
This leaves the road open to Ger
man diplomats to work increasingly
through various channels, perhaps
even through the League of Nations.
TO rectify what she considers an un-
just revision of frontiers, imposed by
the League of Nations.
Germany probably will never rest
content with so large section of her
territory under Polish rule.
Await Leagues Meeting.
The next step in international af-
fairs probably viii take the form of
a reply by various allied nations to
Germany's pact proposals. but moth
ing definite is expected to result until
next Fall when the league meets.
Then it may be that Great Britain
will be able to put into black and
white what Mr.. Chamberlain discuss
ed in the House of Commons.
Prior to the league meeting repre-
sentatives of the dominions will meet
in London to formulate plans. If they
agree to five-power pact some
good result may yet come of Ger
many's offer.

NEW YORK, March 25-With the
aid Of aniline dyes science soon may
be able to combat many cases of
blood poisoning successfully, DR.. John
Woolman Churchman, associate in
hygiene at the Cornell Medical School,
says in report to the American
Chemical Society made public today.
While sounding a warning against

to be read at the Spring meeting of
the American Chemical Society, at
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
April to IL, asserts that studies in
the use of dyes touch the whole field
with a new hope"
Aniline dyes, the report says, have
extraordinary selective, penetrating
and inhibitory properties" which set
them off from other antiseptics, even
in very weak solutions.
There is no doubt" says the re-
port, that the treatment of infected
throats, suppurated joints and other
infections has been greatly advanced
by the study of aniline dyes, which
has been going on during the last 10
years, now that further advances are
soon to be made"

Director of Traffic Eldridge were
made public at the District Building
today.
The position of executive assistant
has been offered to Fred Seller,

of the touring and transportation
board Of the American Automobile
Association 10 years. Director Ed
ridge said Mr.. Seller has not yet
formally accepted.
For the Office of traffic engineer,
Col. l. c. Moller of the United States
Bureau of Public Roads is under con-
sideration, but whether he will ac-
cept will not be known until Mon
day, when he will come to Washing
ton for conference with Mr..
Eldridge.
The traffic engineer will rank next
to the director of traffic and will
have direct charge of making a com
prehensive survey of conditions.

Mr.. Seller was at one time employed
by the District government and is
thoroughly familiar with conditions
in Washington.
In making the traffic survey, Mr..
Eldridge said. the engineer will find
out the density of both vehicular traf-
ffc and pedestrian travel in all con-
gested localities. He would make
studies to determine which streets
should be designated as arterial high
ways and would also make engineer
ing studies of the parking problem.
The inauguration of these various
surveys Will not be undertaken, there
fore, until the engineer has been ap-
pointed. The data to be thus compiled
by the engineer will serve as a guide
to Mr.. Eldridge in formulating the
new regulations which he must make
under the terms of the traffic law.

D. c. SCHOOL PARTY
VISITS CLEVELAND
Four Types to Be Studied To,
day, Last OF Inspec-

BY JAMES f. CHM,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 25-New

public schools were studied today by
Washfngton's committee of school
planners. on the final lap of its sec
ond expedition for ideas that can be
adopted for the schools TO be erected
under the Districts s1s.00O,0OO i've
year development program.
R. G.. Jones, superintendent of the
Cleveland schools, took the commit
tee to four types of buildings which
represent the latest in the city's
school accommodations. They are the
Thomas Jefferson Junior High School,
a 4o-room structure which has Just
been opened; the Henry w. Longfel-
low Elementary School of % rooms,
the West Technical High School and
the Miles StandiSh Opportunity
School for Girls, a unique one-story
building After the survey of these
schools the committee will return to
Washington.
The present trip, which has taken
the committee to Rochester and Buff
falo, in addition to Cleveland, has
been made without Ernest Green
wood, the Board of Education's rep
resentative, and the third member,
Mr.. Greenwood, had planned to meet
his colleagues in Buffalo yesterday,
but failed to join them.
Economy Steps Studied.
Steps taken by Buffalo to economize
in the cost OF school construction
through the reduction in size of class
and cloak rooms, made the deepest
impression on the committee while
inspecting the schools in that city
yesterday. A room % by 20 feet s
inches has been adopted as the stand
ard for all new schools. Washing
tons latest schools contain approx
mateIy 112 square feet more space
than those in Buffalo, yet ahaye the
same pupil capacity.
Mr. Harris was particularly inter
ested in the smaller classroom unit,
and indicated that in planning the
Districts new schools, he will give
serious consideration to the space
feature. "Buffalo's small

HARTFORD. Conn, March 25.-Ger-
aid Chapman, spectacular bad man.
continued his fight today against a
farmer-dominated jury to sit in judg-
ment on him in the matter of indict-
ment charging him with the murder
of Patrolman James Skelly in New
Britain last October II.
Half an hour after court had open
ed today, the second of the murder
trial, sixth juror had been chosen.
Chapman, who had been inspecting
one potential juror from under his
lowered brows, curtly shook his head
when counsel turned to him. So this
juror was challenged peremptorily.
Chapman, looking very natty in a
freshly pressed suit, sat slumped into
a chair in the midst Of his counsel He
was nonchalant, apparently paying
no attention to the three guards at
his back or the crowd in the court.
He scrutinized each talesinan closely
and kept advising counsel
Attorney Groehl asked al the tales
men he examined if they would be
prejudiced against Chapman If he did
rot take the stand in his own de-
fense.
Out of court the attorney explained:
There are times when a man may
be asked questions which he cannot
with honor answer. Questions con-
cerning a woman, for Instance"
Woman Seen In Cnse.
The answer was connected with ru-
mors that Providence, F.. l., woman
figures in the case. This woman is
supposed to be one who often has
been humorously referred to by the
police and detectives who ran down
Chapman in Muncie, Ind, last Janu-
ary, as Mrs. Beeswax."
Mrs. Beeswax," said to be the
wife of merchant, was. according
to the rumors, in correspondence
with Chapman during the months he
lodged police througout the Middle
West. She is even referred to as his
bank" who provided money for him
whenever the exigencies Of his flight
exhausted his funds. But this Is only
one Of many rumors, AMI many are
inclined to consider 1t just another
Chapman myth.
Chapman seemed to grow more
animated as the day pro ogressed. He
did not relinquish his slouching po-
sition, but he spoke mora to kis at
torneys, discussing the talesmen al
greater length than he has hereto
fore. He toyed with a pencil, his only
exhibition of slight nervousness since
the trial began.
A Marlborough farmer was the
seventh juror chosen.

Several Chief London Papers Ap-

By the Associated Press
LONDON. March 25.-Germany' s
proposals for a security pact, as out
lined before the House of Commons
last evening by Austen Chamberlain,
the foreign secretary, are received
favorably by several of the chief Lon
don morning papers. In his speech
the foreign secretary made known to
the world that Great Britain would
seek to build a permanent European
peace on the foundation of mutual
pact between Germany and her late
enemies, and would have nothing fur
ther to do with the wreckage of the
security protocol framed at the last
league assembly, when the MacDon-
aid Labor government was in power.
The pact, he said would guarantee
the present frontiers of western
Europe against change, and in 1t
Germany would renounce all idea of
resorting to arms at any time in an
effort to change her eastern borders
as fixed after the World War.
Doubts L. s. Approval.
Mr. Chamberlain wondered whether
the Macdonald government gave
much thought to the effect of the
protocol on American policy. So far
as he knew. the United States had
made no official declaration with re-
to inform himself as to the trend of
American opinion, and, unless he was
wholly mistaken, the protocol would
have been viewed rather as a possi-
BILE cause of war than as an increased
security for peace"
When Mr. Chamberlain had resum-
ed his seat amid great cheering, for

pounced upon the PROSTATE protocol

The Times thinks PERHAPS the
brightest feature in the new prospect
is that Germany is prepared to accept

like a practical permanent guarantee
of peace"
The Morning Post, recognizing that
much diplomatic work is necessary
before an agreement can be reached,
believes nevertheless that the pro-
posals offer a chance of saving Eu-
rope from another war, and hopes
they will receive earnest considera-
ton.
