The world court situation is muddle.
President Coolidge was unqualifiedly for Amer-
can entrance into the court. His spokesman laid
the proposition before congress that basis. The
senate tnkered with it until it altogether diff
ferent thing In its form it went to Geneva
The essential alteration made by the senate was
the much talked-about fifth reservation" This
reservation in substance, is to the effect that the
court shall have nothing say relative to any in
ternational dispute if the United States claims to
have an interest in it and objects to leaving it to
the court to settle.
The reservation doesn't provide that the United
States must shave interest" in the dispute to
prevent the world court from considering it. It is
sufficient for the United States to "claim an in
t6sxst" Such qualification ON Americas part if
accepted would give this country stxapele hold
ooz&he entire outfit.
IT isn't surprising that the Subcommittee Sf the
w6ad court delegate conference asked for an Gin

mDartment. The State Department. however, can't
iatarpret for the Senate. All it could answer was,

Country had given way to letters Of cheer and hope
to his friends. On July TO- 1871, he wrote

sidered species Of madness to have foretold

To form perfect union.

unique in history.

Way to Clear.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON. July 24.--Queen Mary
has had the experience Of the ordi-
nary motorist Of being held up in a
traffic jam. Usually when the King
or Queen go out in their cars the
traffic police are instructed TO keep
open their eyes and let the royal ma
chimes pass through traffic.
Several days ago Queen Mary went
shopping and the royal limousine III
turning out of Grafton street was
caught in the midst OF A Jam. Few
of the Bond street strollers realized
that the stately figure in pale gray
was the Queen of England. Caught
between reeking motor bus and Il
bridesmaids car, with taxis to the
right and left OF her, the Queen sat
bolt upright in her car, waiting along
with the other held.up travellers until
the Bobby's white sleeYed arm went
down to signify that traffic might
proceed.
None Of the British court Ilmou-
sines is equipped with the imperious

be attached to the car of Emperor
William in Berlin, the blasts from
which caused his subjects In cross
