DAWES PLAN WINS
FULL WND|CAT|0N
Germany Bearing Burden of
Reparations Easily as
Third Year Begins.
BY EDGAR ANSEL MOVRER.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
BERLIN, September 1.-Two years
of Dawes plan operation end with
complete vindication of the experts
plan. Although rumors of revision,
largely from financially interested
circles, continue to circulate and COM
plants are made by foreigners. Ger
man Nationalists and Communists
against the crushing tribute, the fact
remains that Germany is bearing the
burden well.
The third years payment is rather
smaller than the second. and there is
absolutely no reason to believe it can
not be borne easily.
If, as many persons believe, the real
test of the Dawes plan will come in
the fourth and fifth years. when repa-
rations payments are considerably
higher, means for revision exist With
in the plan itself.
Recovery of Industry.
German industry and business in
the past year have made an almost
complete recovery. Foreign experts
as we'll as German authorities consider
the German situation nearly normal.
Germany's greatest problem today is
that Of unemployment. The number
of unemployed, If the unregistered are
considered as we'll as those receiving
doles, Is not much under 100000 and
probably will not he decreased soon.
Intelligent Germans deny that un-
employment is due in any large
sense to the Dawes plan burden. They
declare it is largely the result of the
introduction of American methods
and better machines making hands
useless. This process Is expected to
continue. Therefore. serious con-
sideration is being given to the prob
lem of tightening the load of the un-
employed.
1t Is admitted that the former Ger
man colonies did not furnish proper
homes for Europeans. Therefore,
German eyes are turned toward those
still un- n-Europeanized portions of the
world where colonization is possible.
Perhaps the most likely spot is the
southern part of the Portuguese
colony of Angola, where the climate
is temperate. The Germans figure
that the cost OF endowing 100000
families a year with $4,000 each

CHANGE IN GAMBLER'S S NAME
IN BOOK FORCED BY TAGGART
Publisher of "Show Boat"
Agrees to Revision After
Libel Suit Is Threatened.
Doubleday Voices Regret
That Casual Choice of
Label Caused Trouble.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 2.-Tom
Taggart Democratic leader of In
diana, today won his protest against
the use of his name for that of a
character depicted as gambler in
Edna Ferber's new novel, "Show
Boat"
Nelson Doubleday, vice president of
Doubleday, Page & Co.. publishers,
said today the fiction gamblers name
would be changed in all subsequent
editions of the novel. A 500, 900 libel
suit was threatened by Mr.. Taggart
unless the publishers deleted his name
from future editions.
Mr.. Taggart was informed of the
publishers compliance with his de-
mand, Mr.. Doubleday said A name
having the same number of letters as
the one originally used for the char
acter will be substituted.
This business of using true names
in fiction is bad stuff" said MI
Doubleday. The use of Mr. Tag
CARTS name was purely incidental
and was not essential to the story.
Any other name will do just as we'll,
and since Mr.. Taggart objected we
were only too glad to make the
change"

i. s. WORLD COURT
VETO" DISCUSSED
Acceptance of Reservation
Hinges on Leagues Opinion,
Request Rules.

GENEVA, Switzerland. September
1.-The opinion that the United States
should have the same rights in the
World Court as members of the
League Of Nations Council, but no
more, was voiced by many delegates
at today's session of the international
conference, convoked to discuss the
American reservations to membership
in the court.
If this opinion weighs in the con-
ference it may be impossible to accept
the fifth American reservation, requir
ing the consent of the United States
to requests for advisory opinions from
the court on questions in which Amer
lea claims interest.
The reasons for this is that the law
of the League of Nations is so obscure
that ii is uncertain whether unani-
nous or only ma jority vote is neces-
sary when the league council asks
the court for such opinions.
Hold Plan Imperative.
Some of the delegates held that. if
unanimity were made essential, the
United States could not vote anyway
as a party to a question at issue. while
If simple majority only were needed,
it would be impossible to accord the
United States the right to block the
decision of the majority.
Italy and France joined in an ap-
peal to the United States to waive in
sistence upon the right Of veto to agree
to sit temporarily with the league
council on an equal footing with the
great powers and to abide by what
ever rules may be accepted by the
great powers and the members of the
council generally.
The discussion was continuing this
afternoon.
The fifth reservation found cham
pion in Count Michel RostworowSki
of Poland. who said it was reason
able condition and should be approved.
The Polish spokesman interpreted this
as a desire by the United States to
be on a footing Of equality with the
members of the League of Nations
council, which body is the one re-
questing advisory opinions from the
court.
NJ. F'romageot, French jurist,
thought the fate of the fifth reServa-
ton hinged entirely upon the answer
to the question whether the council
should request advisory opinions by
unanimous or simple majority vote
This was a question on which opinions
differed, but II must be answered def
nitely before action could be taken on
the reservation.
Belgian Jurist Agrees.
NJ. Fromageot emphasized that if
a majority vote was sufficient, any
possible American objection could be
passed over and the opinion of the
court could be asked despite Ameri-
can opposition. He warned the con-
ference that this would jeopardize the
American reservation because it would
render it imperative.
NJ Rolin, Belgian jurist agreed with

Spain's abstention, while expected,

that the rotund, CHEEKY face of Count

1t is understood that the Spanish
foreign office is preparing some sort
of statement as to the reasons for
its withdrawal, which will, presum-
ably, be sent to- the council within
the next few days.

afternoon.
The Universal Peace Congress to-
day passed a resolution saving that
the recent accord between Great Brit
ain and Italy for an economic penetra-

tempt at illegitimate pressure on
Ahyssnia. The resolution condemns
the accord as incompatible with the
spirit of the covenant of the League
of Nations and modern conception of
international law. 1t also urges the
creation Of an international commits
sion, acting under the league. to solve
the problem of distribution of the
water Of the Nile, with Abyssinia,

Another resolution passed by the
congress protests against the preten-

Railway Profits
Are Biggest in
Nation S History
The Class One Roads Will Make
About Billion and a Half
This Year

New York-Class one rail-
roads during the first six
months of this year made the
biggest profits in the history of
American transportation.
The roads earnings or net profits
for the period mentioned were $494,
866,776. According to the experts en-
ployed by the railroads, this means
that by the end of the year the roads
profits will total 100000. Those
experts say the last half of the year
is always much more profitable than
the first half.
In addition, the railroads will have
at least $300,000,000 in profits from
"outside" Investments the owners
of the roads may figure on clean
up from all sources of at least ST.
100000 for 1926.
When the roads were taken over by
the government during the war, il
was agreed that the rental should
equal the roads profits for the three
most profitable years of their exist
ence up to that time-1915-16-1
Under that arrangement, the govern
ment paid the roads something more
than $900,0O0,O00 year.
Senator Cummins of Iowa said al
the time that the rental was so high

has put Gillette against your
bayfield,. 1t has put Murine in

and Ivory for the tub. 1t has
put Arrow collars around your
neck and Ingersoll around your
wrist. 1t has jammed your foot
in Holeproof socks, put Paris
garters on your legs and Tiffany
rings on your fingers. 1t has
even worn out your jaw on
Wrigley's and posted you on
what to buy to care for bunions
and ingrowing toe nails. Go
anywhere you want to, do any,

has a hand in absolutely.
