 There have been few public is sues which have enlisted the ap- parent tremendous women's sup port as that accorded the Kellogg pact While various groups have pet measures which they are spon- soring, the peace pact Is receiving the support of all groups.
 Women from over the country have written to headquarters Of
 he various organizations here that peace pact pilgrims should flock to the Senate galleries when the ratification proposal is up, hoping that their silent presence may wield some power.
 Spokesmen Named !. The big organizations will have their appointed spokesmen, the best qualified women they can find to urge their cause among mem- bers of Congress.
 l Among these women will be Mrs Maud Wood Park, counselor on legislation for the National League of Women Voters, Miss Belle Sher- win, President of the league, Mrs Clarence Fraim, legislative chair man of the General Federation oi Women's Clubs, Mrs. John F. Sip pei, president of the National Par. ! ent-Teaehers association, and Mrs William Tilton, legislative chair. man
 While the women realize there are breakers ahead before the cen. turies-long dream of women ear actually come true, they see in the Kellogg treaty beacon oi hope and they are united in sup port of it.

never has ranked higher than the

the young American hope who
rose meteoricully to lead the at
tack that won the Davis Cup in

Mercur of Harrisburg, Pa, defeated

1t was rather a pathetic Tilden.
He erred regularly. The dash of his
game was not there. His terrific
volleys were missing. The tantaliz-
ing, slow spinning ball that Mercur
sent over to Americas No. player
seemed to have Tilden bested.
Tilden didn't seem to care much,
and the famous rallies that have
become a part of his game, never
were tried. He went down in straight
sets, GO, GA.
