Legal Prestige at Stake.

The official opinion is that the real
motive as to why the European powers
are likely to take again an active in
terest IN the Far East is the fact that
any Haunting Of the decisions Of the
League OF of the treaties by Japan
would weaken considerably the League
of Nations, and this the Euro
psans. and especially France and
Great Britain. cannot afford ConSe-
quently administration officials and
members Of the American disarmament
delegation who returned last night
from Geneva are convinced that as
soon as the new crisis develops in the
Far East. the League of Nations will
be backing any move the United States
may think necessary to take in order
to preserve peace and enforce the re-
spect of international obligations. 9th
er observers, however, are less opti-
miStic.
The League of Nations, they say wss
until last month a very handy inStru-
ment in the hands of France and Great
Britain for enforcing their policies on
Europe Since the Lausanne Confer
ence. which Is considered to have bsen
the first puncture in the Versailles
treaty and since the Franco-Brit.sh en-
tente, the enthusiasm of these two
powers for the League has been conSld-
erably lessened.
The League Of Nations, far from re-
naming the docile instrument for the
maintenance of peace treaties, may
prove q cumbersome body which will
shortly take up questions which both
the British and the French would prefer
to be left In allegiance.
Big Issues Involved.
These questions are the abolition of
the military clauses Of the Versailles
treaty as far as Germany is concerned,
the question of a more just repartition
of the mandates over colonies taken
from Germany after the war, question
likely to be raised by both Germany
and Italy, and the revision of the Yer
sailles treaty in regard to the Danzig
corridor. These matters will be In
evitably raised during the next few

Club Hears
9 Mrs. Barnes

Margaret Aver Burns, who lived
q normal life for forty years and
then catapulted from the roads OF
France into a perfect orgy of COM
position" spoke Wednesday night at
Caleb Mills hall under auspices Of
the Indiana Bryn Mawr Club. Her
subject was Behind the Type
writer"
Mrs. Barnes. who terms herself a
'timid experimenter in the art of
letters" told how she became a
writer" following a motor accident
in France, during long period Of
convalesence.
Writing purely for sedentary
amusement, no one was more
amazed than she, or, she added, her
family, when her first casually sub
mitted short story was accepted by
a publisher The photograph Of
her first check hangs over her type
writer today and is referred to by
her intimates as "Rockefeller's first
, dime"
She Stays Domestic
THE world looks askance at the
'middle-aged mother of three Adde'S
cent children, as one reporter called
me, entering the professional writ
ing field" she said, but few women
in the public eye neglect their pri-
mary domestic duties and even
fewer deny that they are primary.
"Of all professions, writing is
most easily adapted for family life,"
she continued. "One needs no more
complicated instrument than
portable typewriter and no more
space than, corner Of the living
room"
Mrs. Barnes spoke of the woman's
point Of view as compared with the
mans and the Inauguration Of
woman's intellectual independence.
Formerly woman's contribution
to letters has been from the mans
viewpoint" she said, and mentioned
Dorothy Parker as an example of
the new feminist"
Truth Aim Of All
Truth is the purpose and the aim
Of all" she declared. "All writing
that is sincere is interesting as an
individuals reaction to an expert
ence, but" she added, while sin
cerity is within reach of us ALL it is
not enough to sustain the beginner,
who must tackle problems of con-
struction"
Mrs. Barnes spoke of her two
novels, Years of Grace" which was
awarded the Pulitzer prize in 1880,
and her more recent Westward
Passage" and explained her char
acterizations.
Books should show judgment be-
tween tie lines, according to Mrs.
Barnes, and throw clarifying light
on moral experiences.

He summed up the German at- titude toward the present situation in three poitns. First. he said. Germany is at present not in a position to make any payments in fulfiilment of her reparation obi. gallons. The Bank of Interna- tional Settlements has certified to this, he said, in its December 1881 report. Second, even a moratori- um in such payments would have the effect to freeze" the present situation and thereby make impos- sible the orderly liquidation of private foreign debts and restora- ton to long term investments In Germany to which the holders are entitled. Finally. the only possi- bie solution of the present crisis is by restoring confidence in Ger many at home and abroad. This can he accomplished only by a termination of separations, he addad.
