POLISH PROBLEMS
TROUBLEL0CARNO
Question of Corridor One of
Few Still in Way of Accord
on Security Pact.
By the Associated Press.

Ds the Associated freSS.
LOCARNO, Switzerland, October IA.
That the Polish problem, particular
ly the question Of a Polish corridor to
the sea, still troubles the Locarno Sc
curity conference was the impression
given today by Austen Chamberlain,
British foreign secretary. who said
that he and Sir Cecil Hurst, English
jurist, had placed their services at the
disposal of the delegates in an en-
deavor to reach an agreement con-
corning Germany's eastern frontiers.
Mr.. Chamberlain was optimistic
over the possibility Of bringing Ger
many and Poland together. He en-
phasized that sueil a measure of agree
ment had already been reached at the
,Locarno conference that no country
and no parliament could dare to as
sumo responsibility for bringing to
naught those things that had been
achieved.
New Chapter in History.
1--WE have opened a new chapter in
European history he said, mot only
fashioning peace on paper. but also
within the councils Of government and
the hearts Of men. and the treaty of
Locarno would appear to be a real
watershed between peace and war
even more so than the treaty of Yer
sailles." The British statesman ad-
mitted that formal solution of all the
points had not yet been reached, but
said he was convinced they would be,
and that mutual good will, based on
common interests, would establish an
enduring peace.
It is understood that difficulties have
arisen over the text of the Polish
German arbitration treaty because
Poland, wishing to protect her corri-
dor to the sea. does not desire that
the treaty shall affect disputes aris-
ing out Of existing treaties, which she
believes can only be revised under the
provisions of the League of Nations
covenant
Moreover, Poland wants the same
guarantee from her ally, France, for
the Polish German treaty as Great
Britain Is according to France and
Germany in connection with the Rhine
security pact.
Mostly Agreed Upon.
In principle the greater portion of
the Locarno pact has been agreed
upon.
DR.. Kempner Of the German delega
ton here has proceeded to Berlin,
where he is outlining the entire stu
alton at Locarno to President Won
Hindenburg and the members Of his
cabinet.
II finally the compact Is signed and
Germany enters the League of Ma
tions, Great Britain, France and Italy,
under the gentlemen's agreement en-
tered into with Germany, will en-
deavor to aid Germany in her plea
that she is unable to contribute eco
nomic, financial or military aid to
help the League Of Nations in any
move it may take against a nation
that has been proclaimed an ag-
gressor.
1t seems evident, however, that
once Germany Is a member of the
league she must convince the coun-
Gil of the league Of her impotency in
her effort to secure a revision of the
penalty clauses of the league cove
nant.

trdLy PfoOI That redHy great men or women are
born Of parents who constitute more than the
third generation in a century
MARRY LATEs
For years he has had posted five prizes Of 5000
each whichwill go to anyone upsetting his theory.
He argues to marry late If children begotten
Of the Wedlock are to tower over their fellowmen
as mental giants
In a chart which Redheld has prepared he
shows the relative chances Of becoming eminent
determined by the fathers age at the birth Of
the son.
This, chart includes his findings after checking
up the ages Of the fathers Of ST. men; each ia.
nous enough to have at least page devoted to
him in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Mention OF an individuals name in this work
is the test for greatness which he demands Of
anyone wishing TO claim the prizes.
This chart shows, for example. that boy born
of father so years or older has more than so
times as many chances OF becoming famous as
the boy born Of 24-year-old father.
"Of the ST. celebrities looked up,'' says Red
field, most of them rose from the ranks whose
daddies were over so. Not Of them was the
child of an early marriage Where eminent men
did not have young parents, there always
a surplus heritage Of age in the preceding three
generations wherin the grand-fok married late"
Boiled down. Redieids theory is that the older
becomes the more wisdom he acquires.
Coupled with this idea is the belief that such wis
dom can be transmitted to children.
Lincoln, Ben Franklin. Cuvier. Wagner and
hundreds of others all had fathers over 40.
Napoleon, Goethe. Tostoy had young fathers
But their sires each had left to them an accumu.
lation of inherited wisdom passed down by at
least three generations of ancestors who had mar.
rfed fate in life.
By these various tokens, Redheld argues that
greatness is not determined on the score Of
whether is an only child or not.
Only children have risen to heights reached by
very few men, he says.
Greatness comesito the daughter whose
parents married late, or whose distant forebears
waited for matrimony till an advanced age and
thus transmitted their combined wisdom to the
present day. 49,
