FARLEY IN Berlin
MAY BRING PEACE
Russia and China Reported
Negotiating Under Kellogg
BRAND Treaty.

The possibility that Russia and China
can be brought to adjust their differ
ences under the terms OF the Kellogg
BRAND treaty was heightened today by
official information which was conveyed
to Henry L. Stimson. Secretary of State.
The Chinese Minister. c. C. WI.
transmitted to Mr.. StimSon official ad-
vices that the two belligerent nations
are taking steps to meet in direct nego-
tiationS in Berlin in an attempt 10
reach q peaceable settlement over the
Chinese Eastern Railroad controversy.
Confirmation OF the fact that Germany
had been approached in the plans tor
negotiations was confirmed by the
charge d'affaires of the German en-
baSsy. Rudolf Leitner. Mr.. Leitner told
the Secretary Of State that His govern
ment was thoroughly in sympathy with
the program which has yet been only
tentatively outlined.
The choice of Berlin for the proposed
negotiations apparently is due to the
fact that both China and Russia have
high diplomatic representatives in Ger
many. There is a further reason that
Germany has been acting as an inter-
nediary since China and Russia broke
of all diplomatic relations
So far, however, it is generally I'M
derstood that the negotiations are mere
~ in a preliminary state, and Germany
has taken no formal action in the mat
ter.

to build new one?

A Courtroom Trick

during the last few years. one of the dramatic mo-
rnents is the exhibition Of a figure OF murder
victim 1t shocks the accused, horrles the audience,
and is regarded by some as a clever bit Of stage
trickery
Down in North Carolina, where the state prosecu-
tors are trying to convict sixteen textile strikers for
the murder of police chief, the same sort of stage
trickery has been used.
Intending to influence the jury and provide SEN
saon scarcely in keeping with the seriousness of the
trial. the state attorneys caused figure of the
slain officer to be brought into the courtroom They
succeeded in shocking the courtroom, but their per-

Such things are expected in stage and movie mys-

Boston Finds a Judge

At last a Massachusetts judge has been found who
hear the names Sacco and Vanzetti without
trying to become a witch burner.
When the Boston police recently violated their
permit for the meeting and arrested speakers
Sacco-Vanzetti memorial gathering, it assumed
that this customary Boston dissertation OF constitu-
tional civil liberties would stand,
Much to the surprise of the police and every one
else Judge Charles Carr dismissed the of the
arrested speakers. But the judge not content with
freeing the victims. He took occasion to give the
Boston authorities primary school lesson Amer
lean institutions and the Constitution.
In their zeal to protect institutions, the police
must not forget that free speech is American
institution that in time of peace the right is reserved
to the people to bring about reforms by public dis
cussion of their affairs such discussion involves
criticism of their representatives in the executive
legislative, judicial branches of the government,
he said
The arrest of two innocent men was worth the
indignity they suffered if it produced the occasion
for such an official utterance on civil liberties in
Boston, Of all places.
May the Judge Cars become representative of
Massachusetts justice, and the Judge Thayers be
forgotten!

If q Profession Needs Only So
Many Ne1O Men in a Year,
Why Let the Schools Go
Pouring out TWice the
Number?

NF the 2,499 law students who
~ took the New York state bar
examination last June, more than
so per cent failed to pass.
John Kirkland Clark, one of the
examiners, seems to regard the
result as rather gratifying.
at is unnecessary to conceal the
fact" he says, that these examina-
tons are intended primarily to
separate the sheep from the goats, "
adding, by way of explanation,
there are entirely too many people
studying law, and entirely too many
lawyers"
There can be no quarrel with stiff
examinations in so far as they are
designed to maintain high standards
in the law, or in any other profess
sion.
When a profession has become
overcrowded, however, it seems as
though a more humane way might
be discovered to reduce the number
of recruits.
If our law schools are accepting
and training two students when
there is only room for one, as would
appear from Mr.. Clark's observa-
ton, something is wrong.
Whatever the legal profession may
gain by flunking half the students
after they have spent three or four
years in study and hope, society is
bound to lose.

BATTLE OF THE MARINE

sept. =
I'm Sept I, 1914, the first great
" German rush was stopped by
the allies in the Battle of the
Marine.
What had been an unbroken and
victorious march acosS Belgium to-
ward Paris ended abruptly and be-
came a retreat.
The rapid onrush of the Ger
mans seemed irresistible and in the
first days of September, when the
French leader, General Joffre, with
drew still farther to the region of
the Marine, and the French govern
ment left Paris for Bordeaux, many
thought the German drive was sure
to succeed.
But, as the allies figured, when
the German armies advanced, it be-
came increasingly difficult for them
to maintain their momentum. Eager
to hurl its massed forces against the
French, the German staff had failed
to hold an army reserve.
The Germans were becoming ex-
hausted and they were getting
farther away from their bases all
the time. The task of supplying the
army with its needs and reflling the
ranks grew harder every day.
The French were being CORE
spondingly helped as they drew back
into their own territory. They were
nearer their bases and were con-
tinuing to gather new forces.
On Sept. 6, the retreating French
and British armies whirled and be-
gan a savage attack on the Ger
mans, who we're driven back pell-
nell distance Of sixty-f1ve miles in
the next six days.
