TO END WARS
At Least Dozen Countries
to Join Is Powers
in Pact.
BY RALPH HEINZEN.

United Press Special Correspondent
PARIS, Aug. %. - Twenty-four
hours after the Kellogg treaty had
been signed in behalf of fifteer great
nations, assurances ware received
today that other countries, big and
small, would fall in line behind the
move to make war eventually almost
impossible.
More than a dozen nations were
reported already to have notified
Aristide BRAND, foreign minister of
France. and Frank B. Kellogg of the
United States, who sponsored the
agreement, that they desired to
agree to it.
OF the two copies of the treaty,
one will remain here and the other
was ready to go back to the United
States in Kellogg's trunk. 1t will
not even be necessary for the other
nations to sign the treaty, it was ex-
planned. Only formal declaration Of
adherence, backed by parliamentary
ratification were constitutions re-
quire it, will be needed.
One nation eager to be the first
to come in after the original fifteen,
was said to have instructed its min
lister in Paris to sign the treaty to-
day if it could be arranged.
1t was arranged to have Russia
and Afghanistan, which do not have
friendly relations with the United
States, invited by France and Eng
land. Virtually all other nations
have received invitations from other
sources.

ANGOLA, Ind, Aug. 28.-Doubt

ment at Toledo for a bank robbery

prison. Toledo police say they have
no record of Burke.

the body was discovered, and who
admits he was on a party in Michi-

Coleman, "a, was withdrawn by him
Monday at a session of Steuben

a desire to aid in the murder probe,
asserting II want to come back and

a picture and return to New York
later in the autumn when her huS-
band sails for concert tour in

started when he was three years
old in Wilma. Lithuanian province,

of Music Of Wilma. He made his
first public appearance in 1905.
