Kellogg Counting
On Week End Trip
To See Coolidge

Secretary Kellogg hopes to spend
the coming week end with Presi-
dent Coolidge at White Pine camp.
The oil negotiations with Mexico
are expected to figure in their dis
-cussions, but there has been no in
dication that the religious dispute
in Mexico has reached the point of
diplomatic consideration.
The Secretary undoubtedly will
deal with aspects of American for
eign policy in an address August
IS at Plattsburg, n. Y. but it is
improbable that he will touch on
the Mexican question.

SUSPICION MARKED
IN EUROPE ON EVE
OF LEAGUE SESSION
British Foreign Office Moves
Cautiously, Fearful of
What Future Holds.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
LONDON, August 12-British Of
fetal quarters are looking uneasily
| toward the September meeting of the
League of Nations, when the ques-
| ton of Germany'S admission comes
up again.
Nobody here quite knows what may
happen in the near future. The ma
tions are watching each other suSpi-
ciously, and in the last few weeks
there have been moves on the CONT
nent which render the foreign office
cautious and suspicious.
The Italian-Spanish treaty came as
a complete surprise to this country,
which for generations had been used
to regard to Spain as a satellite of
the British Empire. Never in the last
% years has Spain done anything
without previously consulting Great
Britain.
Pact Held Significant
The Italian-Spanish treaty is regard
ed as extremely significant. because
| Premier Mussolini will uphold Spain S
demand for a permanent seat in the
! League of Nations council and in .eX-
| change Spain will not oppose Italy S
! claim TO a place with the other pow.
ers in control of Tangier and eventu.
ally to get a slice of the North Afri-
can pie.
Premier Mussolini's desire for ex-
pansion in North Africa at France S
expense is well known in London.
The British, feeling that this desire
might lead to conflict with France,
lss,N,. = -
Italian dictators idea by giving him
an opening toward the West coast
of Anatolia.
After the Mosul agreement was
signed Great Britain was no longer
able to encourage Italy in a warlike
attitude toward Turkey, but offered
! her compensation in the signing OF
an Abyssinian agreement opening the
, Eastern section of the country fol
Italian economic expansion. Premier
Mussolini accepted the treaty, but,
! realizing the difficulties the italians
were bound to encounter in that very
independent country, he directs his
policy again toward the North Afri-
! can coast.
Thus the Spanish-Italian treaty is
considered by British experts. first
as new gesture of Premier MuSsO
lini against France: second. as likely
to cause trouble when the question of
Germany's admission to the league
council is brought up again.
Poland Offers Problem.
The leagues difficulties will be fur.
ther increased by Poland's adamant
attitude. According to information
which reached London this week. Po.
land insists that she be elected to
the league council simultaneously
with Germany and that she be as.
sured in advance that she would be
eligible again after a three-year ten
ure in the council for another three
years.
1t is feared these claims, together
with Spain's insistence on obtaining a
seat in the council, might discourage
the most ardent league friends in
Germany. who, it is reported, show al
ready only lukewarm enthusiasm to-
ward Germany's joining.
The Balkan situation is viewed pes
simistically too, although the dan
ger of emminent conflict is over.
thanks to the timely and energetic
intervention of the British and French
representatives at Belgrade and Sofia.

Many Government Employees Re-

With hundreds of homes in the high

water because of an unprecedented
consumption due to the protraCted
heat wave, the Commissioners appeal
to all residents of the district today
to restrict the use of water for one
hour during the reriod allowed for
sprinkling lawns until the emergency
has passed.
The Commissioners appeal came as
the thermometer was steadily mount
ing toward the high mark of 80 de-
grees reached yesterday afternoon,
and found virtually all of the Gov
ernment departments releasing their
employees, starting at 1890 O'Clock.
The Interior Department. the Vet
Grams Bureau and the Government
Printing Office decided 10 work on
through. While the heat today may
not be as great as Yesterday. when
seven were prostrated and taken to
hospitals for treatment. the Weather
Bureau held out small hope for much
relief. There may he thuntlershowers
but the humidity remains high.
The new high record for water CON
sumption was recorded for the "a

Treasury workers housed in tempo

Mr.. Garland explained that several
years ago the question of equipping
the high service area served by the
Reno reservoir with pumps of greater
capacity was considered because of
fears that such a situation as now
exists would arise. Owing to the fact
that the increased water supply prof.
ect was designed to take care Of this
growing high-service area. he said. il
was thought possible to tide over the
intervening time without making an
expenditure for extra pumps.
