Lea Is well done. The United States
and Britain have solemnly pledged
themselves against war az between
the two countries, and to the promo
ton OF peace by all proper means
everywhere.
| What the future will bring forth
what the British government follow
ting the present labor government, or
what American public opinion may
desire In the future, no one can say
But at least war has been classed
.ag barbarous. The two most powerful
n ons In the world have declared
e. nst 1t, and that Is progress.
l. took human beings thousands OF
c. uries to abandon cannibalism
{ n, undoubtedly. they resolved to
e! men no longer. And over and over
resolution was broken, when hun
ger came and the edible man was
easily caught.
But canniballsm has disappeared.
AND WAR WILL DISAPPEAR.
Nevertheless, In days when the more
civilized men were giving up canni-
balism, they kept themselves ready to
repel those that might come to eat
them.
The United States and Great Bril-
tain, denouncing and abandoning war
As between Britain and America,
should keep ready and able to repel
others that might seek to enforce war
upon them.

PUBLICITY T D R
SENATE Won

The three-year fight for publicity
in the Senate was won today when
the Senate Rules Commission favor
ably reported resolution, authoriz-
ing the publication of all roll calls
and providing for public considera.
ton of presidential nominations.
A new rule was authorized by
which the Senate can at any time
throw open its doors by majority
vote. This will be substituted for
the present rule which requires a
tWo-thirds vote OF the Senate before
Presidential nominations are con-
sidered publicly,
Ends Old Rule
The committee meanwhile voted
unanimously for the publication of
roll calls
This action terminated the old
rule which required a two.thirds
vote before secret votes could be
given to the public.
II likewise wiped out the old rule,
which forbade Senators from telling
their constituents how they voted
in the secret sessions.
The committee meanwhile took
no action on the exclusion OF news
paper men from the floor of the
Senate. Several motions were dis.
cussed. one of which would have
given Vice President Curt the
power to admit newspaper men to
the floor, but no vote was taken.
Remain Excluded
Under the circumstances repre-.
sentatives of the four. news services
remain excluded from the Senate
chamber.
This is due to the action of the
Rules Committee in ordering the
United Press excluded and the sub
sequent action of Senator La Fol-
lette R.) of Wisconsin Ia raising a
point OF order against the presence
ot the international News Service,
Associated Prese and Universal
Service Representatives.

Sealed Doors and Windows
Previously she had sealed all the
doors and windows of the room.
Apparently the children died with

lost consciousness.
Two elder daughters, asleep on an
upper floor. were unaware of the
tragedy until they were informed OF

Another echo of the Hamil-

ruptcy hearings of 1927 was
heard in the courthouse again
today when the Grand Jury
reported separate indictments
charging G. Bryan Pitts, chair
man of the board of the F. II.
Smith Company, and G. Elbert
Anadale, first vice president
of the same corporation, with
perjury in connection with
their testimony before the
referee.
Pitts was Indicted several weeks

never had in his possession or
under his control the books of the
defunct hotel company were false.
The alleged perjury was committed
November 3. 1897. On the same day
the Indictment charges that he COM
mitted perjury when he denied any
knowledge of the fact that the books
and records OF the hotel company
had ever been in the. offices of the
F.. III. Smith Company or the F. II.
smith Investment Company, on ]
Street Northwest.
Anadale Faces Counts
The Smith Company's offices
were located in the 140D block of ]
st. n. w. during that time the
present building. now occupied by
the company, was in the course of
construction, it was explained by j
Assistant United States Attorney
Joseph v. Connolly. who prepared
the indictments.
Anadale is indicted under five
counts. charging ''willful perjury"
based on answers TO five questions
propounded to him on June is, 1925,
during the same bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
He is said to have made cate
gorical denial to five questions as
follows.
did you ever have access to and
supervision over the books of ac-
count and corporate records Of the
Hamilton Hotel Corporations"
Were these books and records
in your possession during the period
when you were secretary.treasurer
of the corporation and were you
familiar with the details contained
In these books?
Did You Ever Seek Books?

time that the office OF the F. H.

the hotel company were in that or

pany. or the f. H. Smith Invest
ment Company?"
Ibid you ever make any entries

Corporation, or In any of the books
of account of that cOrporation?"
Despite his denial OF these ques-
tions, it is asserted that Anadale
had made entries in the ledger and
other books of account of the de-
funct hotel company and that the
records were in his possession at

Adverbs
BY Edward Longstreth and
Leonard II. HoItOn.

A DELIGHTFUL game is
N called "Adverbs." Some
~ one takes thought unto
himself. either by election from
others or voluntarily, and with
out removing himself from the
party except IN thought, he Sc
lects for himself an adverb. He
then announces he is ready and
the assembled crowd asks him to
do various things ain the manner
Of the adverb."
Suppose he has chosen the
word "passionately" as the ad-
verb. The crowd wants to dis
cover what 1t Is. In turn, they
ask him to do something which
they think will reveal the quality
of the action sufficiently for
them to guess the adverb. He
/may be told to "stoke the fire in
the manner Of the adverb." From
his action they may not make
much progress. so the next player
asks him by a lucky chance, to
treat the fascinating Miss Soand-
go "in the manner of the adverb."
The hidden word is then easily
guessed. Whoever solves it first
becomes 1T and thinks up an
other adverb, getting a harder
one if the others have been too
easy. Thus the game continues
until stopped by the police.
If there is any doubt as to
whose turn it is next-draw lots.
An idea of difficult adserbs to
discover may be gathered from
the consideration of such ex
amples as voluntarily" "con-
scientiously" and ''variously."

THE above eryptogram is based

great success during the great
World War. Messages written by
this code usually defy detection
by those not familiar with it.
A clue to the method of decod.
ing the message is indicated in
the phrase reading "1203 down."
which means in this case that for
each letter in the original 1. 2, o,
3 letters down were used. For
example, the word SECRET
would become TGCUFV.
In DECIDING the same letters
are used cup" instead of down"
With this explanation you should
have no difficulty in translating
the above secret message.
In making eryptograms Of this
kind any succession Of numbers
may be taken, but they must be
