Hoouer Studying Out His Campaign; South Interests

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal, Aug. 15.-While there is general notion that Herbert c. Hoover is devoting most of his thought and attention at this stage of his cam- paign to the East and Agricultural West. the development in the Solid South, as the Presidential race gets a belated start, will prob ably hold as much interest for the Republican nominee as those ill another section of the country.
 This is due in a measure to re- ports which were brought to him at his notification and also mes- sages which he received from that section as to the reception of his acceptance speech.
 While too early to formulate plans, it is fairly certain Hoover will invade the South, speaking at least in Memphis, Tennessee.

WAR-SEIZED PROPERTY
 RETURNED TO ALIENS

Under the war settlement act the government returns 80 per cent of seized property to aliens.
 In a few years, Mir Sutherland believes, the bulk of the claims will have been disposed of with the possibility that another gov ernment department or a consider ably smaller force of officials and clerks may handle the details.
 Coal mines, gold mines, canning establishments and sugar planta- tions are only few of the varied industries which it has been neces- sary for the government to take over and operate.
 A great many properties have been sold and the returns placed in the treasury pending final dis position. Such funds now total some $1S5.O0O. .OQO. Owners are paid 4 per cent annually.

Illinois, Which Is Usually
 Republican, No,o Debdtable
 Croundm Coming Campaign
(EDIToR'S NOTE: This is the first of a series of stories on the political situations in the various states.)
By WALTER T. BROWN GA. p. Feature Editor)

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-There is catch in their throats as if ap- prehension had curdled their con fidence when the usual optimistic claims are made by Illinois re- publican and democratic leaders this year.
 Illinois, with reputation for having been out of the republican column in the presidential elector- al college only once. is debatable ground for both the state and na- tional tickets. Behind the si- lence of those who vote without talking about it--or fail to vote lies the November decision in the debate.
 Prohibition and the farm siuta- tion dwarf any other mentioned issues in the state. There is, of course, a religious element to be considered, but 1t scarcely is whis- pered. The line of religious cleav- craze is the same as with other political factors-the division be- tween urban upstate and rural downstate, Chicago with it's high percentage of catholics and rural Illinois chiefly protestant.
 "Wet" Element
 Just how strongly the wet element in Cook county seat of Chicago, in Peoria. in East St. Louis and others of the larger cit ies, will fall in behind the modi- fication banner of Gov. Alfred E.. Smith, largely will determine Illi- nois' position after the vote count ing next November. To effect this there will need to be whole sale defections from the republi- can ranks as the state normally is republican by several hundred thousand.
 In 1908. when one group of re- publicans followed Taft and anoth- CT Roosevelt. Wilson carried the state. That was the only occa- sion of that kind.
 Farm leaders declare the major ity of Illinois farmers are indif- ferent to both Governor Smith. the democratic presidential nominee, and Herbert Hoover, the republi- can choice. Straw votes taken by agricultural publications bear this out. Mir Hoover's referenc- es to farm relief in his speech of acceptance may change this situa- ton, republican leaders say.

/. GROWS IN EUROPE !: j!
Foreigners Question Why
Kellogg Pact Does Not
Influence Naval Policy:
BY WILLIAM BIRD.

Bv Radio to The star
PARIS. September 29.-Americas
unpopularity in Europe has been grow
ing rapidly within the past few weeks.
There is a distinct impression In most
European capitals that since the sign
ing of the Kellogg pact outiaWing val,
Washington not only mas done notn.lle
agreement. but has actually seemed TO
Mace every obstacle in the way OF as
armament.
What few Europeans can understand
&c whv washington places such enpha'
sis on the value of the Kellogg treaty
and vet appears unwilling to make the
slightest concession in the way OF naval
ornaments.
probably Washington's reflections re-
garding European governments are SIM
liar. It must be admitted that no natlon
has vet shown the slightest sign IN It's
public acts that the Kellogg treaty mao
the least influence on Its armament
policy.
sco Europe's acuuiescence in the Kel-
locr plan was based principally on the
hope that after the treaty was signed
washington would begin to participate
in world politics On larger scale. Eu-
ropean chancellories, while pralslne
feryently the anti-war compact, admit
ted recently that it meant nothing eX-
cept as preparatory step. 1t was
hoped that from it would spring some
comprehensive plan for economic ano
political cooperation between the OLD
and the new continents. !.
Judging by this weeks events, THIS
hope has not been fulfilled. Washing
ton has not seemed to have greater
e. H., 4Iaa
treaty than the European nations. The
old wrangle over technical details OF
naval disarmament, which wrecked the
Geneva conference year ago. SubSists
in the same form. except that today
practically all Europe. and not England
alone, is ranged against the American
viewpoint.
what is important to know Is
whether this deadlock will be pernla-
nent. If so, the only result will be to
promote greater European unity and
bring about an alignment of the whole
world against the United States. Such
an alignment holds no great menace
to peace. out it does seriously threaten
American trade, through threat that
community of political interests will
lead to a customs agreement whereby
American exports will be excluded from
European markets, or at least placed
under severe disadvantage:
For despite the Soviet declarations
that the world powers are today pre-
pairing for-war on greater scale than
in 1914. it is doubtful if any RESPONSE
Bile statesman dreams it will come to
that What governments are after is
trade and they are using armament
bluffs as means to get it.
There is also the question of security
which many European nations feel
auutely Propaganda for revision OF
tie Versailles treaty frontiers grows
more intense every year and prompts
every interested nation to watch its
boundaries. Altogether, the Kellogg
treaty pacifstic glamour seems to fade
vjsibly. day by day.
