CLOBE-CIRCLER
VISITS CITY ON
NATIONAL TOUR
ColIyer Says indianapolis
Fortunate to Have Level
Land for Filters.

In seeking a municipal airport
indianapolis is extremely fortunate
because of the level contour of the
land, Capt. Charles B. D. Collyer,
record globe-circler, said before leav-
ing here today for Des Moines,
Iowa.
Collyer, writer, former air mail
and Army pilot, arrived at Indian
apolis airport at p. m. Monday
in his Fairchild monoplane, "City
of New York" in which he and
John Henry Mears set new
round-the-world record. He is
making a goodwill tour of the mid
western States.
The world trip was made in the
monoplane, except over ocean
stretches, where the plane was car
ried on ships. The time on the
trip was twenty-three days, fourteen
hours and f1fty-four minutes, faster
than the moon, which requires
twenty-seven days and five hours to
circle the globe.
Collyer was entertained at the Co.
lumbia Club Monday evening by c.
L. Harrod, Chamber of Commerce
industrial commissioner; Maj. Rich
ard F. Taylor, 18th Observation
Squadron commander; Norman A.
Perry and Wallace o. Lee, president
and vice president of Indianapolis
Power and Light Company, and
Capt. H. Weir Cook, regular army
instructor for the 18th Squadron.

And he talks to you with that
great success. On the radio and
on the record, Gillian talks to the

makes you a part of his own artis-

Gillian is an intimate artist and
he has caught that distance of ar

He has caught the tear as well as
the thought on the air and on the
record to such an extent that he
always talks and sings to just you.
"You" may mean me" but he

listen to that contact with
Art and the "one." Nobody is left
out. That is the secret of the ar
tistry of this man. Gillian is so
honest that he is through with this
personal appearance stuff. He is
too big for it.
Gillian has an act of magnitude.
Of quiet and individual charm. He
may not panic you while you are in
the theater seat but he will talk to
you when you are "alone" with
yourself.
Gillian brings an individual
greatness to the piano which talks
the language of the entire world
just you and I. That is artistry.
That is genius.
In an act called Revue Unusual"
there are individual dancers of
much merit. The toe dance thing
that is called a tap on the toe (done
by woman) is a wonderful piece
of work. The two men dancing to-

idea of the act, 1--WE Americans"
is fun to a certain extent. Never

SAYS CURTIS
Carries Fight on Relief Into
Smith Stronghold at
New York Fair.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 28.-
!. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas.
ARepublican vice presidential norni-
nee, carried his campaign to Smith
territory today with speech on
farm relief at the New York State
fair as a guest of the American
Farm Bureau.
He traced the Republican party'S
record on farm legislation in an
effort to demonstrate it's friendship
for agriculture and its ability to
solve present farm problems.
The emergency tariff act; the in
termediate farm credit act; a meas
ure authorizing organization of
farmers cooperative associations,
important amendments to the ware
house act, and other measures, have
been passed by Republican Con-
crosses for the benefit of the farmer,
Curtis said.
"Soon after the war Congress
fully realized that no class of our
population had suffered more by
the readjustment of prices from the
high points attained during the war
than the farmers" he said.
Cites Measures
1.-THE Republican majority in the
House and Senate passed an emer-
gency tariff act, but this was vetoed
by President Wilson. The farmers
believed that it would be of great
help if the war finance corporation
could be authorized to extend credits
to them, and the Republican Con-
greSs passed a joint resolution ex-
tending the corporation to aid agri-
culture.
This measure was passed over
President Wilson's veto.
when President Harding came
into Office March 4, 1921, he realized
that early action to relieve the farm
ers should be had, so the emergency
tariff act was passed.
Soon after President Harding
was inaugurated a law was enacted
authorizing the war finance corpor-
alton to extend further credits to aid
Ill Cd11 yA4IS d1lO NAoPOo4Al6 VI oSAA-
cultural products and to provide
credit for agricultural proposes.
There was much complaint on
the part of the livestock producers
against the packers, and the Con-
gress enacted a law to regulate in
terstate and foreign commerce in
livestock and dairy products, poul-
try and eggs. This has proved to be
a wise law.
Credit Extended
"a measure authorizing the Or
ganization of cooperative associa-
tons was passed.
1.-THE farm loan board was I'M
able to meet the demands upon it
and I introduced bill authorizing
the Government to purchase $780,
100000 of the bonds which enabled
it to resume loaning on farm prop
erty.> This bill was passed and
signed.
1.-THE intermediate farm credit
act of March, 1923, gave to the
farmer longer credit, and provided
for loans on stock, crops and to
cooperate associations. Twelve in
termediate credit banks were es-
tablished just as there were twelve
Federal Reserve and twelve farm
loan banks"

GERMANY TO SIGN
WAR BAN AS DRAWN
Note Will Inform Kellogg of
Decision-France to Send
Final Word.

By Radio to The star and Chicago Daily
News Copyright lJ@S.
BERLIN, July 1l.-State Secretary
Schubert, in the name of Foreign Min
ister Stresemann and the German cab
met, will send note to Washington
within the next "a or 4S hours ex-
pressing Germany's willingness to sign
the war outlawry pact in its most re-
Gently promulgated American form.
This decision was adopted practically
unanimously by the foreign affairs COM
mittee of the new Reichstag. The Ger
man government believes the present
task is to get the pact signed as soon
as possible and hopes that French and
English objections viii not again take
sufficiently concrete form to make fur-
ther exchanges of notes or verbal dis
cussions necessary.
English Position Considered.
The greatest danger. however, Is seen
here in the original English desire 70
exempt from the right OF signature OF
the pact nations which MAINTAIN m
complete diplomatic relations, or which
are incapable OF proper self-government.
A second reservation, viz, the English
Monroe Doctrine" would tend to eX-
clude Egypt 1t is considered this
might find approval in America, which
might desire To exclude nations ike
Nicaragua, although Secretary Kellogg
answer would seem to show that the
United States desires all properly recog-
nized states to have the right OF sig
nature.
But If Russia Is classed among the
States which are TO be forbidden, or
not invited. TO sign the pact, then the
devil still is loose In Europe. 1t Is pre-
cisely the possibility of conflicts such
as between Great Britain and Russia
which the pact is or should be designed
TO prevent. Failure to include Russia
would minimize the value of the pact
by half, some observers believe.
How 10 Invite Russia.
The technical question how Russia Is
to be invited, since the United States,
author of the pact, has no relations
with the Soviets. Is In German eyes a
mere technical formality. The writer
has reasons to believe the Russians are
more than desirous TO sign the pact,
but will insist on the grounds OF
prestige that they receive some such
invitation as was sent the other powers.
Should the British standpoint prevail
and Russia be excluded, or should
formal difficulties remain which prevent
Russia from signing, the Importance OF
the pact, in the opinion OF many here,
would be so far diminished that Its
enemies, who are only seeking an OPP
portunity to sabotage the whole idea,
would have gained a great victory and
the way toward disastrous armed con-
fiict would still remain dangerously
open.

NEW YORK. July ll,-Recent
