/ course, could the Kellogg pact or
other treaties for arbitration be
invoked as the conflict lay be-
tween sections or groups OF In
dividuals belonging to the same
nation. These individual con-
fljcts revealed to the general pub.
lie Of the world that the kellogg
pact and all other similar trea-
ties Of arbitration and concilia-
ton, while outlawing all wars
between nations, had not and
could not, as at presently con-
stituted, outlaw that most COM
mon form Of conflict-ctvil war.
The Paraguayan.Bolivia con.
flict arose over rival claims o.
long standing by Paraguay and
Bolivia to sovereignty over q
wild section Of border land be-
tween the Pilcomay0 and Para
quay rivers. Both powers had
erected q series of forts along
the imaginary boundary In the
Gran Chaco district, which had
never heen definitely surveyed Or
settled upon, and the threat Of
war arose from clashes between
troops garrisoning these forts.
The first clash, In which several
were reported killed on both sides,
occurred on December ., 1928,
while President-elect Hoover was
touring the west coast Of South
America. The President-elect ar
rived ii Buenos Aires 3 few days
later to find all South America
inflamed with talk OF immediate
war. Mr.. Hoover. calling upon
and comforting with President

citation which finally brought
about an agreement on the part
Of both principals TO submit the
dispute to arbitration.

The next armed conflict on the
American continent was the Mesd-
can revolution, which broke out
on March 4, at almost the pre-
else moment that Mr.. Hoover was
taking the oath a. President Of
the United states.
This had its root deep in the
complex soil Of Mexico's political
situation, but was directly due to
the dissatisfaction Of q number OF
Mexican army officers with the
prospects for electing their taV-
ored presidential candidate at the
general election, which was tl1e1

Is the world becoming more
peacefully minded7
This question may wen be asked
at the close OF the year 1929
which, IN addition to being treated
to more than q half-dozen wars,
actual or threatened, during Its
cycle Of 3e5 days, also witnessed
the first attempt to enforce the
nbiigatic- Of the Kellogg Anti
War PACT upon two Gignatory
powers which had resorted to
gestures OF war as q method for
settling q controversy.
The anse e. appears to be forth
coming from q review Of the vari.
Gus conflicts which developed dur.
ing the year, together with the
methods invoked for settling
khern.
The conflicts which arose In
1929 involving the use Of armed
force. actual or threatened, were:
the dispute between Paraguay and
Uruguay over the territory in the
Gran Chaco district: revolution
in Mexico; revolution In Vene-
zueia; revolution In Afghanistan;
revolutions IN China: Arab-Jewish
rioting in Palestine; the Russo.
Chinese dispute over the Chinese
Eastern Railway. and ricting IN
Haiti. ne sessitating Intervention
by q. s. Marines.
CiyfI War In China
The civil war In China is still
progressing as the year closes,
Just as civil war has been IN more
CT less active stage Of progress IN
that country for the past dozen
years. The Russo Chinese dispute
appears all but settled through
direct peaceful negotiations be.
tween Chinese and Russian diplos
matte representatives. All the
other disputes have been settled,
81 the threats Of them have blown
away.
In the settlement OF the two
international disputes Of this year
the forces lined up with peaceful
arbitration obtained one crafty
ing victory and sustained one
sharp rebuff. The threat Of war
between Paraguay and Bolivia
was averted through mediation
by the countries, including the
United States, Of the pal1-Amer-
lean Union. Both Bolivia and
Paraguay have formally signified
their acceptance Of such arbitra-
ton.
Mediation Rebuffed
The rebuff to attempts to me
date was sustained at the hands
Of the Moscow government when
the powers signatory to the KEEL
Iogg pact, led by the United
States, addressed identic notes to
Moscow and Marking reminding
the governments of those two
capitals Of their obligations under
the Kellogg pact to preserve
world peace. The Chinese gov

tartly informed the world in gen

between the Chinese and Soviet

while the cause Tor arbitration

But, while the two interna-
tional conflicts of the year were

CUBS WILL STRIVE
TO WIN 100 GAMES
Hornsby and Wilson Refuse

Individual Titles.

~ HICAGO, September 20.-Tle
Cubs are in, but several desires
remain to be satisfied before
~ the closing of the National
League season.
Apparently on the way out Of the
slump that caused them to drop three
games in a row just when they wanted
most to win, Joe McCarthy's club is
aiming at an even 100 victories for the
season. To accomplish the job, Chi
cago must win six out Of its remaining
nine contests.
Rogers Hornsby and Hack Wilson
have refused to take few days of rest
hoping to win individual titles. Horns

his seventh National League batting
championship and is certain he has a
chance of winning the home run title,
although he is two homers behind Will
son. OFT and Huck Klein, who are tied
at 80.
wilson is cunning for the home run
championship and says he will keep
playing until the matter Is settled.
Pat Malone's Six-hit shut-out OF the
Giants yesterday created more enthusi-
asm than the clinching of the flag
Wednesday and served to dispel some
of the feeling that the Cubs were
cracking.
There was no letting up of activity in
the club Offices, where the task of filling
ticket applications is nearly finished.
The grab bag has not been closed. but
less than $4,000 tickets remained for
disposal today.

TOR the fifth season In succession
l. the National League pennant
goes to the Western emf Of the
4 circuit, and large number OF
gentlemen in New York City are
grinding their teeth over this astonish-
ing development.
Not only have the Giants again fail
ed to come through, but the Yankees
have been completely eclipSed by the
Philadelphia Athletics, and that means
there will be no world series uproar
anywhere along Broadway, or near it.
It looks as though the Chicago Cubs
will finish the season with at least 81
victories. If they exceed that figure
they will have made the best record
of any National League team since
1917, when the Giants won the cham
pionship with 90 victories-and then
lost the world series to the Chicago
White Sox. partly because of poor play
ing and partly because of ill-luck.
That series Of 1917 still is remem-
bered with groans by many New York
fans, for its outcome caused much grlel
among members of the Lambs Club Of
this city. They were sure the Giants
would beat the White Sox and they
dropped a large chunk Of their nnan'
cial holdings because OF their conn
dence in Manager McGraw's team:

STAND COMPARISON

Chance, the "Bear," Gave
Club Its Nickname-Has
7 Regular 300 Hitters.
BY OWEN L. SCOTT.

CHICAGO, September 20.-When the
Chicago Cubs were pushed into the
National League pennant berth on
Wednesday, their predicament revived
memories of old timers in those base
ball immortals who cavorted in the past
for this team which again seeks world
championship honors.
There are those who believe the pres
ent Cubs a greater aggregation of ball
players than any of the u previous
mines who managed to win pennant fer
the club. They don't exclude the ball
seekers of the days of old Pop" Arson
in putting the batting order of the pres
ent title holders ahead. Seven out of
nine Cub regulars with hitting percent
ages above 300 lend weight to the argu-
ment.
But this isn't convincing to those who
think back to the days SO years ago,
Stockings, as the Bruins were known
then, on the way to their first pennant.
Arson Real Hitter.
Pop Arson, whiskers and all, was
there knocking the cover of the ball.
while his teammates, gloveless and
heavily moustached, stopped the line
known as the "StoneWall defense" out
fit. 1t was so good that starting in
1880, under the managership and bat
ting of Arson, the team won remnants
in that year and in 1881, 1882, 1885 and
1886.
Those were the day of Mike Kelly,
right inf1elder, who surprised the fans
by sliding for second base. Slide, Kelly,
Slide" became a popular fan cry, and
it has remained a base ball term ever
since. And it was in those days that
Billy Sunday made living by putting

outfield.
When this old outfit disintegrated, it
took 20 years before another winner

BECAUSE OF MS Size, Cle manager was
known as the Bear" and his players
became the Cubs" They've remained
so ever since.
The present Cubs are almost as COL
orful, certainly, as their predecessors.
Many a fan will put Roger Hornsby
alongside Pop" Arson in batting
prowess, and when the home-run blast
ing Of Hack Wilson is added in, there
is no lack of display.
Mike Kelly may have been a wonder
on the bases, but Kiki Cuyler draws as
much enthusiasm from the galleries,
and when it comes to a double-play
outfit, that of English to Hornsby To
