NTUTIATERAL TREATY
MAIN EVENT OF YEAR
Reparations Still Unsettled China's
Civil War Won by Nationalists.
HirOhitO Crowned.

the United States we're to be limited,
and that, turning to land forces, Great
Britain agreed to abandon her opposi-
ton to the principle of conscription,
which would enable France to main
tain the largest army on the conti-
nent. A storm of disapproval broke out
not only in America but also in Eng
land and France, and the statesmen
who had negotiated the agreement were
denounced for their stupidity, for it
was Immediately evident that the United
States would not countenance such an
arrangement. Our Governments was
not slow to express formally its rejec-
ton, and Italy followed suit. The result
was that the agreement was. disavowed
and abandoned.
Evacuation of the Rhineland and the
fixing of the total of the reparations
obligations was still insisted on by
Germany. BY the terms of the Dawes
agreement she was paying large sums
regularly on account, but the time
when the payments should end was
coming no nearer The allies at last
recognized this intolerable situation and
in November it was agreed that a con-
gress of experts should be convened to
revise the Dawes plan and try to fix
the total reparations. France persisted
in the idea that the question of repara-
tions should be tied up with that of
her war debt to the United States, but
Washington made it plain that this
could not be.
Disarmament Talk.
In the annual session of the League
of Nations Assembly there was much
talk about disarmament, but little If
any advancement toward that end. The
preparatory commission had adjourned
in March without result. and Louden
of Holland. its chairman, urged that
before another session there should be
a private conference of the naval
powers. This was not liked, nor was
the suggestion of Bernstorf Of Ger
many that there be an early meeting
of the disarmament conference without
waiting for the preparatory commission
to act. Finally resolution was adopted
calling for meeting early in 1929
John Bassett Moore, American, re-
signed on April % as member of the
Permanent Court of International jus
tice, commonly known as the World
Court. Most of the national groups
nominated Charles Evans Hughes to
succeed him, and the Assembly and
Council of the League of Nations over
whelmingly confirmed the choice on
September 8.
Just as the new year began Central
Europe was thrown into great excite
nlent by the discovery at the Austro-
Italian frontier of five carloads of ma
chine guns shipped surreptitiously from
Italy to Hungary In violation Of the
treaty of Trianon. The powers of the
Little Entente demanded that the
League of Nations make an investiga-
ton, but this was opposed by Mussolini
and Hungary merely destroyed the guns
without offering any excuse for the in
cident and before the League could
take action, Moreover, Hungary de-
MED the Leagues right of investigation.
Italy finally consented to an inquiry
and nothing much further was heard
Of the affair.

Electrical Engineering.


The advance in electrical engineering
has been characterized by research with
high voltages and by large power de-
veIopments One of the first and per-
haps most remarkable of the high volt
age developments was the 900,000-volG
cathode ray tube announced early in
the year At this time 1t was an
nounced that a similar tube of S000,-
600 volts would be equivalent to a ton
of radium Almost Immediately trans
formers capable of developing this volt
age were Forthcoming. although tubes
to withstand the high tension have
not yet appeared. A Tesla coil has
also been built which will give voltageS
as high as 100000 volts.
BY a change in construction of the
window of the cathode ray tube an
other experimenter has obtained copius
rays with but $4,000 volts. A corona
voltmeter has been developed to meas
ure high voltages, an instrument which
will serve a useful purpose in furnish-
ing high tension transmission data.
While not much data was obtained two
parties in this country and one in
Europe passed last Summer studying
high tension lightning discharges and
their effect on power lines.
Giant Power Plants Developed.
Among the large power developments
might be mentioned the Conowingo
station on the Susquehanna River,
which uses the largest turbines yet
built; the Louisville development on the
Ohio River, the largest semi-auto-
matte station in existence and using
the largest propeller wheels. Bucks
Greek plant on Feather River uses the
largest head of water, 2562 feet, and
Big Greek "a boasts impulse units of
record capacity of $4,000 horsepower.
And the list is not completed, but mere
ly contains the outstanding stations.

DOMESTIC

Nothing else was so interesting to the
people of the United States as the buSi-
ness of selecting their next President
The campaigning started early, and
from the beginning it was tolerably ap-
parent that Secretary OF Commerce
Herbert Hoover would win the Republic
can nomination and that Gov. AL Smith
of New York would head the Demo-
cratic ticket. The G.. o. P. national
convention met on June IL In Kansas
City with the Hoover delegates strongly
entrenched, the only other prominent
candidates being Frank O. Lowden of
Illinois and Senator Charles Curtis of
Kansas. Lowden was supported by the
Ii ders of farm organizations who
wanted the McNary- -Haugen agricul-
tural relief bill, and they promised that
there would be a tremendous demon
stration by farmers If the convention
did not at least adopt platform plank
to their liking This turned out to be
false alarm, and Hoover went over
easily ON the first ballot after the reso-
lutions committee had fixed up a plat
form to conform to his policies. SEN
ator Curtis was conSoled with the noml-
nation for Vice President. Mr. Hoover
bert Work for chairman of the ma
work was promptly organized.
Democrats Convene.
The Democrats met in national con-
vention in Houston, Tex, on June 26,
and from that moment there was no
doubt of Smiths victory. The South
ern Democrats, however, being nearly
all dry and Protestant, made such fight
as they could, and on June % accepted
Il.
ballot with wry faces. The enthusiasm
of the governors supporters was such
that there were many assertions that
the party would stand solidly behind
him. How wrong the prediction was
is known to all. 1t took only one bal
lot for the convention to choose Sena-
tor Joe Robinson of Arkansas as Smiths
running mate. He was the first resi-
dent below the Mason and, Dixon line.

SPEAKS ON EDUCATION.

Right Rev. E. A. Pace, vice rector
Of Catholic University. said that prog
ress in education depends on the de-
gree O. civilization. the attitude of the
rulers toward learning. the amount of
knowledge available. the organization
OF schools and the qualification of the
teachers in a lecture. delivered last
night at the Knights OF Columbus

Middle Ages"
In the medieval period. the speaker
said. provision was made for different
classes OF people in different types OF
schools. as cathedral. chantry. guild.
parish and monastery. The church au-
thorities, he stated. made it duty for
the clergy TO teach the poor gratui-
tously. and If the content Of knowledge
vas limited the pupils were trained TO

ening Of the intelligence prepared the
way for the coming Of the sciences.

'ELKINS IS u. S. HOPE
FOR THE DECATHLON

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June with Harold
Osborn committed definitely to Olym-
pic participation In the high jump
only, Americas hopes of taking the
Decathlon title at Amsterdam this
Summer seem to rest upon the all
around skill of the brawny Iroquois
Indian, Fait Elkins, former University
of Nebraska star. but now competing
for the New York Athletic Club.
Elkins broke the Olympic and Amer
ican record for the 10 events in a
two-day competition at Travers Island,
going through the first five events on
Saturday and the remainder OF the
program yesterday.
He ran up a total of 7,8I2.97 points,
compared with the 7,574.42 points he
tailed In winning the national Decath-
lon title at Lincoln, Nebr., last July.
He bettered his performances in the
broad jump, high jump pole vault and
1l0-meter hurdles and had fallen of
slightly In the 400-meter and 1900
meter runs. the iavelin and discus
throws and the shotput. He Tailed
exactly the same number Of points In
the l00-meter dash as he did last year,
His total surpassed that OF Osborn in
the 1924 Olympics when the Chicagoan
set the record at 7,7l0,89 points.
Since the test was made without
competition, Elkins' record is not eligi-
BILE for ofhcial recognition.

Fifty-flve teams, including champions
from every section of the Nation, are
entered in the meet, which is an official
Olympic team tryout.
The sprints are criterion of the type
of competition anticipated There are
I3 sprinters entered who have dashed
the century In better than 10 seconds
and Ia who have stepped 220 yards
under 90 seconds. For team competition
Stanford and Illinois are considered the
leaders.
What promises to be the outstanding
race of the year will be run between Rut
Walter of Northwestern University and
Emerson Spencer of Stanford In the
!. mile. Spencer has run the dis
tance faster than any college athlete
this Spring will, an official mark Of 48
seconds, while Walter won the Big Ten
championship in 48.5 seconds. Both
have run the event in better than
world record time, unofficially. The
tTexas Aggies also have pair Of fast
quarter milers entered in ONeal and
Hodges.
The furlong is expected to be hot

Ohio State and Hamm OF Georgia Tech,
while many athletes have equaled each
others championship time in the field
events.
