u. S. ENTRY in
WORLD COURT
NOW ASSURED
INV Dispatch A. ?. wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Entry OF
the United States into the world court
was made certain today by senate
vote of 68 to 26 to limit debate on
the issue
Leaders on both sides in the bitter
struggle predicted a final roll call
probably tomorrow and certainly not
later than Wednesday,. 1t was con-
ceded generally that the vote for
adoption of the much modified Swan
son resolution of adhesion would be
even more Overwhelming than it was
today to apply the drastic cloture
rule for the second time since it's
adoption in 1917.
CIoture came to the test after last
minute efforts to hold out the olive
branch of an unanimous consent
agreement to limit discussion had
been swept brusquely aside.
Every senator save two was in
his seat the floor was crowded by
members of the house and the gal
leries were overlooking. Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, wife of the war presi-
dent, sat with Mrs. Swanson, wife of
the senior senator from Virginia, in
the presidents row, and many other
nOLaDl6S were Ill IIlS p1lNdIO 5cAASAASA'
An hour of debate with many barb
bed exchanges preceded the vote, and
as this went forward scouts for both
sides were busq here and there
trying to keep their forces in line.
There was much shifting about and
the strength rolled up by the op-
position was somewhat surprising.
Thirty seven republicans and 81
democrats voted to impose the rule
limiting each senator to one hour.
Senator Dupont, republican, Della
ware, and Copeland, democrat, New
York, were the absentees. Senator
Jones of Washington, the republican
whip announcing the illness of Sem
ator Dupont, said that if the Della
ware senator were present he would
vote in the affirmative. There was
no announcement as to Senator Cope
lands position.
Once the result had been announc-
ed there was marked let-down in
the tension that had gripped senator's
and spectators alike. A rush for
the lunch room began, and within a
few minutes not more than half a
dozen senators were on the floor.

leading opponent of adhesion, moved

The president has made his de-
cision in the case of Colonel Will
lam Mitchell. Modifying the decision

allowances increasing slightly the
recommendation of the judge ad-
vocate general but following COM
pletely the recommendations OF the
Secretary of war, so that hereafter
during the pleasure of the presl-

titled to all of his allowances and
cne half of the monthly pay which
he would draw while not actually
engaged in flying, making total
of s38767 per month or about $4,-
,76o per year. The full statement OF
the president is as follows;
I'm the foregoing case of Colonel
William Mitchell, air service, the
following action is hereby taken:
"A duly constituted court martial
has determined that the accused has
been guilty of highly censurable
conduct The country has every rea-
son to expect that US officers, es-
pecialIy those who hold positions of
high rank and nave had long ex-
perience in the service, will at all
times be strictly obedient to the
provisions of the law and the re-
ouirements of the rules by which
they are governed.
.orhe court martial has found that
on September 3, 1925 the naval air
ship Shenandoah was destroyed in
storm and that destruction in
vovled the loss of IA persons of her
crew Two days later, and at time
when the naval airplane 'PN-9 was
supposed to be lost and all members
Of her crew drowned, the accused,
taking advantage of the horror
stricken state of the minds of the
people and their natural desire tG
learn the causes of such losses, and
their readiness to listen to the views
of persons having, or supposed to
have, expert knowledge of such sub
jects published his statement of
September 5, 1925, set out in the
charges and in which he violently
assailed the war department and the
navy department. He characterized
the administration of those depart
ments as incompetent, criminally
negligent and almost reasonable.
He charged those administering those
departments with ignorance, sup
preston of the truth and with CIV
ing misleading, if not false, infor-
nation concerning the air service
to congress and the people. The
board of review finds that those
statements were made without basis
in fact In his statement of Septem-
Der 8, 1925, set out in the charges,
he employed expressions which can
not be construed otherwise than as
breathing defiance toward his mill
tary superiors.

M'CAMANT WILL
APPEAR BEFORE
SENATE GROUP
fRv Disnotch A. p m,rai


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.- Wallace
Mccanant of Oregon, whose appoint
ment to the ninth federal circuit
court is opposed by Senator Johnson,
republican, California, arrived here
today to appear personally before
the senate judiciary committee.
The judges friends arranged for
a. public hearing for him for tomor-
row, but after it developed that the
senate would be voting tomorrow OIL
reservations to the world court, the
date for opening the hearing was
postponed. The committee probably
will meet Thursday
Judge McCamant went to the White
House soon after his arrival to con,
fer with President Coolidge, whom
he nominated for the vice presidency
at the 1920 republican national con-
vention at Chicago.
Judge McCamant was given re-
cess appointment by President Cool
idge last summer His nomination
was sent to the Senate last month
and after a hearing before sub
committee it was ordered favorably
reported to the senate.
Senator Johnson lost his fight to
have the nomination considered by
the senate in "open executive" session
but the latter laid his case before
the senate behind closed doors. Af-
ter the debate, friends of the jurist
had the nomination sent back to the
committee.
The California senator charged that
Judge McCamant violated his pledge
TO the voters of oregon by failing
to support at Chicago the candidate
for the presidential nomination who
won in the oregon primaries. Sem
ator Johnson was that candidate

hibition successful. He charged that
the hired men of the Anti-Saloon
League at washington were afraid
to tell the truth about the situation.
Andrews, in telling of the morale
among enforcement agencies said
members of the coast guard were
growing weary of arresting the
same violators and selling the same
rum boats over and over again, and
they are beginning to suspect that
they are the only ones trying to en-
force prohibition
Rumrunners, he said, were set free
on bail to make more trouble for
the coast guard, while the govern
ment pays high prices for the stor-
age and protection of seized liquor

Old Problem Leaves
Room, for Argument

The question Of whether the bach
elor or the married man lives the
longer is one which has been discussed
for long time, but the problem today
Is still u1solved. After weighing the
arguments of all Investigators and
comparing the bewildering array OF
statistics gathered in many countries
under varying conditions, 1t is impos-
sible to reach conclusive answer.
Many statisticians and other investi-
gators who may qualify as experts on
the subject hold views Numerically
opposed to one another.
The answer to this question has
a general and far-reaching influence
If ii Is established that the chances
of long life are greater for bachelors
than for the married, both men and
women will naturally be influenced in
choosing between the two states. The
mOralist finds such statistics the basis
for argument. For the insurance COM
panies the question is a very practical
one. Before millions of dollars are
risked upon the expectation Of life,
the most reliable figures Obtainable
are gathered. regardless of trouble or
expense.

FelD Women Without
HUNGER for Romance

Women crave the ideal In seeking q
mate. But to a woman In love the
roseate halo which she herself placed
about the head Of the adored one may
make the most commonplace man
seem a very Parsifal before marriage
And even with Quickening sense Of
the mistake she has made the woman
seeks to justify her own belief in her
ideal.
That, In reality. Is at the bottom Of
most of the nagging in marriage. The
woman hopes that somewhere in the
man are those glowing qualities she
believes exist. though they may be
latent.
With repeated failure to arouse
them, she grows restless, impatient; is
diScouraged-not with mankind, but
with her man. She is still seeking !;
still believes. For a time she may be
able to see In some other man the
qualities she desires. But once she
has entered into a new relationship,
how often does her disillusion repeat
itself!
The sort Of hero worship one sees
at the crowded matinees Of favorite
artists-actors, violinists, pianists-is
to be explained, not only by the love
Of the arts, but often by the fact that
women who flock to these perform
ances are hungry for romance.-Jane

Hoording Not Thrift

There are people who enjoy saving
money for no other reason than the
pleasure of saving money 1t is a
passion like drink, and Il hobby like
collecting china. This is the old
fashioned view of thrift. Such saw
ing is at best no more than a defense
against life's uncertainties, but 1t
provides nothing for a richer and
more fruitful living that money wise
ly saved and wisely spent can give.
Mere boarding is not enough. 1t is as
unpr0ductive as reckless spending.
Between the two extremes lives the
course that is profitable to the in
dividual and the state equally. Every
act of spending encourages some form
of human activity-Glasgow Herald.
