SPEAKERS FLAY
REVERSI0N TO
JUNGLE DAYS"

CLEVELAND, Ohio. July 7. -
Free love ana war were the targets
for bitter dcnunciation by speakers
in the closing session here today
of the International Christian En-
dcaVOr convention.
The jazH age and modern substi-
tutes for marriage were flayed by
DR.. William Hiram Foulkes, while
the cudgel against war was taken
up by Harry y. Holmes, Australia,
field secretary of the World ALI
ance for International Friendship
through the Churches.
''The youth of today needs to be-
ware of hoarv headed evil parad-
ing in the garments of virtue and
beauty DR.. Foulkes said.
Polygamy, concubinage and
free love are as dead as the hills.
Modern substitutes for holy mari
age have all the jungle slime with
which ancient counterparts reeked.
Trial marriage, unchaste courtship
and easy divorces, with which even
a laundering church sometimes be
come a pitiful apologetic partner,
have all been tried a thousand
times and found wanting.
This age is strident with jungle
music, fetid with jungle odors, sen
suous with jungle emotions and in
famed with jungle passions. -

Deadlock on Tonnage of

GENEVA, July THE Coolidge
Naval Armaments Conference re-
mained deadlocked today over pre-
cisely the same kind of question as
that which wrecked the League g
preparatory disarmament conven
tion. The question was whether
naval limitation should be deter
mined on a basis of total tonnage
or total number of vessels.
At the preparatory conference
France insisted on the adoption of
q limitation program on a basis of
total tonnage Great Britain in
sisted on fixing the precise number
of ships in each category. Neither
gave in, and the conference ended
in failure.
AT the present conference the
United States delegation 8 attitude
is similar to that Of France, while
Britain is again talking in number
Of ships. 1t is frankly admitted
that the present conference may
end the same way as the preparatory
conference.
Thus far-and the conference is
now almost at the end of its third
week-the British and American
representative have found virtual
" no common ground for discussion.

Medical Aid For
Ships Planned

LOS ANGELES, July "A plan
whereby steamships, which do not
carry physicians, may properly
treat illness aboard through radio
instructions from the Los Angeles
emergency hospital was outlined
today by DR.. f. G. Goodrich, chief
surgeon of that hospital.
According to the plan. vessels
would carry standard madical kit,
with each article numbered. When
the necessity for medical aid arose,
officers on board would receive in
structions for use of the medicine
by numbers, wirelcssed to the ship
at sea.
The plan is the outgrouth of many
requests for medical aid from ships
at sea, the latest being the case of
boy suffering from stomach tro-
uble on the tramp steamer Nora,
south of San Pedro. DR.. Goodrich
said the plan would be presented
to leading steamship companies.

United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS July 7.-Clarence D.
chamberlin and Charles A. Levine,
who risked their lives together
when they flew from New York TO
Germany have quietly but surely
broken off their relations, it be
came known today.
The reason dates back to n tele-
pram Levine sent to Commander
Richard E. Byrd virtually challeng
ing him to race back from Paris to
New York. That is why Chamber
lin has refused to nilot the Bellanca
plane back TO the United States and
Levine has announced he will make
the trip with a French pilot.
Chamberlin and Levine still live
nj the same hotel and peak coolly
but their cordial relationship has
ended Chamberlin openlv criti-
cizes Levine for sending the chal-
lenge to Byrd.
Levine, " Chamberlin said Gin
sending the message to Byrd snG-
costing that the America and Co
mmbia flv back to New York to-
gether, signed my name to it with
out my permission. In fact | knew
nothing about the message until af-
ter II had been sent.
II apologized to Byrd upon his
arrival at Paris, realizing that he,
the same as T. could never be push
cd into making a race out of p
flight which requires the most care
full preparations and most careful
navigating and flying
"When I learned the telegram
had been sent 7 told Levine that I
was through, that l had made my
last flight in the Columbia.
my wife and I are going home
together. We are flving to London
tomorrow in an ordinary passenger
plane and probably will sail without
returning to Paris.
French airmen believe Levine will
have difficulty in finding a French
aviator to pilot the Columbia back
to New York IA the Bellanca plane
is not built according to speeifica-
tions suitable to French aviators.

RAPID CITY, s. D., July T.
James R. Sheffield, ambassador to
Mexico. arrived here today and
went to the summer White House
for three day conference with
President Coolidge regarding ad'
visibility of his resignation and the
present state of Mexican affairs.
While Sheffield declined to dis
cuss his anticipated resignation un-
til he could see Mr.. Coolidge, he in
dicated his desire to leave public
life and and expressed the belief
that no change in the present policy
of the United States toward Mexico
would evolve from his visit with the
chief executive.
General belief prevails among
those close to the President that
Sheffield came here to present his
resignation because the climate in
Mexico City does not agree with
his health and because he person
allv favors a more stringent policy
toward the southern republic.
Four newspapermen and White
House chauffeur met Sheffield at
the train when he arrived here. He
went to bed Immediately upon his
arrival at the lodge and did not
meet Mr.. Coolidge until morning.
Mr.. Coolidge had very little
chance to talk with the ambassa-
dor upon his awakening this morn
ing because he had an engagement
to inspect the Indian school near
Rapid City at 10 a. m. and had ar
ranged to put the remainder of the

PARIS, July 7. - Commander
Richard F. Byrd today expressed n
desire to explore four of the most
remote regions of the earth.
Only the speed of an airplane
could enable man to visit the spots
indicated by Byrd and scientifical-
lv to explore them within the space
of the next seven or eight years
which Byrd has dedicated to the
task.
In the order of their proposed
visitation, Byrd said he would seek
permission from the navy depart
ment to go to the south pole, the
interior of Brazil, to Arabia and
finally to Mount Everest, sentinel
OF the Himalayas from whose top
no man has returned alive
II successful In his proposed
flight to the south pole area, Byrd
said he would undertake good
will flight around South America.
''If the navy will allow me, -
the commander said, ~ hope TO
spend the next seven or eight years
in aerial exploration, undertaking
the exploration Of the interior Of
Brazil rs soon as possible after
the south pole flight and then ex-
ploring Arabia and if possible fly
. ing over Mount Everest. -
Upon completion Of such a pro
gram, Byrd, who flew to the north
pole would have achieved posi-
fion among explorers equal to that
of Magellan. Drake, Columbus, and
surprising that of any modern man.
For drama and excitement a
flight over Mount Everest on the
borders of Nepal and Tibet prob
ably would surpass even a flight TO
the south pole.
