MALARIA LOOMS,
HOOVER ADVISED
Secretary Hears PitifuI Tale
of Arkansas, Menaced by
New Flood.
BY REX COLLIER.
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June T.
This is a God forsaken country. Mr..
| Secretary" These words spoken
grimly to Secretary Hoover by a Red
Cross representative from Desha
County. Ark, now experiencing its
second flood since April Paint a fair
picture of conditions almost general
in score of counties of this stricken
State. Practically 100 per cent of
Desha County's farms went under
water in April. About 60 per cent
had emerged enough to permit
"mudding in" of cotton seed. and now
comes the third high water of the
year to inundate the sprouting fields
and cover again some so per cent of
the county's fertile plantation land.
1t is a continuing story of water
and mud and lain and even cyclones
that Arkansas has unfOlded, despair
ingly, appealingly to Uncle Sans am
bassador of mercy since his arrival
here yesterday. Such a gloomy, dis
couraging story was it that Secretary
Hoover Cancelled his scheduled con-
ference in Mississippi today in order
to commiserate with Arkansas in her
distress and arrive at some definite
program of assistance.
Hoover Is Sympathetic.
As chapter after chapter of the pa
thetc narrative was related to him
yesterday at a conference of relief Of
ficials from 25 counties, Hoover leaned
forward, q kindly light in his eye, and
listened svmpa thetically, or questioned
those before him more minutely re-
garding their plight Then. with the
last drab report in, he rose from his
seat, banged the table with his clench.

couraging and disheartening it Is,
after having made so much progress
since the April flood. to see all your
work of relief. rehabilitation and re-
construction nullified by freshly rising
waters.
There Is but one thing for you to
do, and that is, start all over again

before / know the courageous people

that the Red Cross and the other aeen-

A R0using Ovation.
The cheering words of the Secre-
tary were received with rousing ova-
ton that transformed the glum-faced
listeners into mass of cheering. ap-
plauding men and women. Several
times later the meeting was inter-
rupted by applause at the mention of
Hoover or the Red Cross. Arkansas
may be down. but she never is out,
it was indicated in the series of re-
lief conferences held here yesterday
and today.
eff we can't raise any crops on our
fields, / guess we can still go fishing
on them.' one of the county chairmen
announced in reply to a query by Mr..
Hoover as to what support the pIople
would have If the fields cannot be
worked this year. 'And there are
plenty of blackberries on the bushes
above water" he added.
Fishing. in fact. is one of the most
popular pastimes in the State right
at present. The farmers. who have
seen their new stand of cotton en-.
quilted beneath another yellow tide,
have nothing else to do.

PEKING. June definite ne
gotiations for peace between North

China. with the definite exclusion of

He declared that the leaders ne
gOtiating this compromise were
Chang Tso-Lin, generalissimo of the
Northern alliance; Gen. Chang Kai.
Shek. generaliSsis1o, of the Marking
or moderate Nationalists. and Gen.
Yen Hsi-Shan. governor of the prov

as the key position in the present
struggle between the North and
South.
1t was Chang Kai-Shek who took
the initiative in the negotiations. said
the spokesman. Chang Tso-Lin
wanted first to make sure that
Chang Kai-Shek was not q follower
of Lenin and communism the
spokesman continued. and then ad-
mitted he was anxious TO come to
terms with the real followers of the
late DR.. sun Vat Sen. the Chinese
Republican leader. whose principles
Chang Tso-Lin declared he had never
opposed.
While Withdrawing to the north OF

Tso-Lin, it ,yas stated, made certain
proposals to the Nanling general
issimo in order to determine whether
"a compromise between the Man

really possible. Realizing that the
country was tired of war, Chang Tso-
Lin was represented as ready to make
any concession for the sake of peace

that is deeper than the liquor ques-

stitution be nullfied or shall it be en-
forced?
But the liquor question itself is a
question that political leadership can
not ignore. The American people. by
writing the eighteenth amendment
into the Constitution, registered the
conviction that the welfare of the Ma

there is still serious possibility of the

derstands that Smedley d. Butler. in

in the hands of the military authori-
ties in Peking. stipulating, however.
that not a shot must be fired against

The correspondent asserts. that those
attached to the American legation are
still Striving to obtain a stronger pol
icy in view of what, he says, would
be an immense loss of prestige if the
United States alone withdrew from
Peking. Withdrawal of the Americans

would leave a dangerous gap in the
legation defenses if defense were
necessary.
1t is generally considered in Peking.
however, that Il serious attack on the

Southerners, or Nationalists, do reach

that there is not the slightest doubt
that Tientsin will be defended in any

TOLAST 5 MONTHS
MaCNjder Tells Legion Com
mittee of Opposition to
Unified Defense.

The United States has enough mu-
nitions to last three months of a war
and if a war could not be won within
that period there would be nothing
left to fight with. Assistant Secretary
of War Hanford MacNider told the
American Legion's committee on ma
tional defense today. The committee,
which is holding sessions at the Army
and Navy Club. is deciding whether
to recommend as national policy of
the Legion that national defense be
combined under one cabinet officer
with undersecretaries for the Army,
Navy, air forces and munitions.
Col MacNider said he was opposed
to the proposed change. The lack of
munitions is the big problem in ma
tional defense, he said, and until ade-
quate munitions can he secured it
would he useless to build up pow
erful air force.
"A thousand airplanes without mu-
nitions couldn't do anything but give
a warship a dirty look" he declared.

facilities for the manufacture of small
ammunition.

branches of national defense was un-

to both the Army and the Navy, and
to take it away from either the Army
or the Navy would cripple those ser.-
ices. Airplanes at sea must work
from ships as bases of operations, he
said, and therefore they are depend

LEAGUE AID URGED
IN ALBANIAN ISSUE
Opinion Favors Action by
Ju9oSIavia Following Fail
ure With Italy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, June T.
Public opinion is pressing the govern
mcnt to place the Albanian question
in the hands of the League of Ma
tions. following upon the severance
of diplomatic relations with Albania.
Political leaders and the newspapers
hold that direct negotiations between
Italy and Jugoslavia have not pro-
duced results They say that the AL.
banian minister in Belgrade sent a
personal appeal to Ahmed Zogu, Pres
dent of Albania, to settle the question.
and that the minister subsequently re-
quested the foreign Office here for per-
mission to remain in JugoSlavia as q
private citizen. fearing possible assaS-
Snation If he returned to his country,
because of the stand he has taken i'll
the controversy.
instructions From Rome"
The press and political leaders in
sist that Ahmed Zogu. in arresting
M. G.. Jourachkovitch. an attache of
the Jugoslav legation at Tirana. acted
on instructions from Rome. BY the
arrest of this attache. they point out,
the tension existing since the signing
of the Tirana treaty was increased.
The break between Albania and
JugoSlavia threatened since the sign
ing of the< Tirana treaty between
Italy and JugOSlaVia several months
ago Jugoslavia charged that the pact
contained secret military clauses and
enabled Italy to exercise undue infiu-
ence over Albania. 1t was charged by
Italy soon after the treaty was sign
ed that .Iugoslavia was encouraging
revolts in Albania and was gather
ing troops on the border. This was
denied and a crisis was averted
through the intervention of Paris and
London.
Basis of Action
ReDorts of the breaking off of diplo-
matieS relations with Albania indi-
Gated the action was due to failure of
the Albanian government to accept
conditions laid down by Jugoslavia
for the release of NJ. Gjourachkovitch.
The Albanian government has COM
municated it's side of the contrO-
verSy to the secretariat of the League
of Nations and issued statement to
the press explaining it's viewpoint.
1t contends the arrest of M.
Gjourachkovitch was fully justified by
discovery of compromising papers
upon him indicating espionage: that
he was an Alba nian subject, and that
the Albanian government had never
been apprised of his official status at
the JugoslaV legation. The govern
ment declares it sought to have the
Jugoslav government modify it's pro-
test charging that it was cOuched in
undiplOmatic language, but that the
JugOslav charge met this with a re-
quest for his passport.

 The winning of Miss Jones was not something to be accomplished in be- tween speeches, as Senator Dill discov- cred after brisk campaign of month or two had landed him nowhere. To begin with, according to mutual friends, he had to explain that he was not anti suffrage, but simply found that most prominent suffrage leaders had none of that well-advertised "womanly appeal" for him and left him cold.
 Miss Jones, ,r Mrs. Dill, to give her her new name, is not, physically, the popular conception of suffrage leader or lobbyist or a militant feminist. Look ing her over, one would say she was in- terested in afternoon teas and theater parties and tennis and golf and clothes. Maybe in worthwhile men. One would never, by any chance, size her up as the sort of young woman to have strong convictions about the condition of the workers in the steel mills, the fate of the League of Nations, or the sufferings of the submerged tenth in the great cities of the land.
 But her interest in those matters is as real as anything in her life-as real as her love for the gentleman from Washington-and before she consented to become Mrs. Dill she made her posi- tion unmistakable.
 In the first place, she insisted on the word "obey" being omitted from the marriage service when they were wed in the Episcopal Church on the Jones estate at Cold Spring Harbor.
 Ut is not word self-respecting woman of this century likes to give a man," she said. Mutual understanding, affection and consideration govern the relations of husbands and wives. So long as we love and honor, the word obey won't be needed. And if we should stop, the word wouldn't mean anything" :"
 In the second place, she refused to be given away at the altar. "I'm solely responsible for what I'm doing" she as- serted. Nobody can give me away. Pm independent, and my own boss. How ridiculous for brother or somebody to hand me over to my new lord and

master, like woman of the harem! I'll give myself away"
 Before he slipped ring upon her finger, Miss Jones further informed her suitor that, while she would help him en- certain, in Washington, Spokane or New York, she would not consent to be . social butterfly, and would continue to interest herself in the political and so- biological problems to which she has de- voted so much of her life. And she got him to agree to allow her to use her own name, Rosalie, Gardiner Jones, in those political and social service activities
 "I believe the Senator is interested in my york;" she said to former comrades of the suffragette wars. T am quite sure that am interested in his. Mutual interest is the basis of lasting love-"
 Among the guests at the Jones-Dill wedding was former Governor Sulzer, who once received her on the steps of the capitol at Albany, N. Y.. and heard her deliver forceful argument in be- half of women's rights-all of them, but particularly the right to vote.
 "Still believe as you did that day?" he asked her.
 There's no reason for me to change" she assured him. "No more cause for me to give up my convictions because I'm in love with man than there is for him to change his party or his stand on . public question because he's married . wife who has convictions as strong a his own."
 Rosalie Gardiner Jones-Dill is several years younger than her husband, and was left one-third of a $5,000,0OO estate when her father died. Besides petition ing Governor Sulzer, she headed delega- tions of women who worked on Presi- dent Wilson and other noted public men in the days just before the suffrage amendment became law.
 Senator Clarence Dill was immedi. ately dubbed the 'baby of the Senate" when he took his office, but that refer. ence was to his youthfulness, not to any failure to know his way about He is one of the ablest young men in Wash ington. Born in Ohio, he was first a newspaperman. then 2 school teacher. and ultimately was admitted to the bar in the State of Washington.
