FUTURE WARS
 SEEN WITHOUT
 DECLARATIONS
BY CARROLL KENWoRTHY

BY CARROLL KENWORTHY United Press Staff Correspondent.
 Washington, (UP)-War in the future will be fought without either side actually declaring war on its opponent. according to Yeun- Il Liang, former high Chinese of- ficiai and authority on internation- al law.
 Because of the increasing im- yportance of the Kellogg pact. no nation ever will again take the risk of inviting censure of the world by declaring war. Liang be- iieves. But this will not prevent nations from engaging in armed hostilities under the name of "pro- lection of rights" pacific block ade," intervention" or "reprisaP in his opinion.
 Recent Possibilities
 Liang cited the recent hostili- ties between Japan and China as an example of what may be ex- pected. He said that although an actual state of war existed, yet neither side was willing to declare war because of fearsof injuring its cause.
 The attacking nation," he said. certainly will not choose to be branded as a violator of the Kel- Iogg Pact by making an open dec- laration of war when the same ends, coulud be gained by easier means under the various names of reprisal, intervention and pacific blockade.
 Tt is even more unreasonable to expect the state attacked to de- clare war.
 Hourly Peril
 '.The weaker state certainly will not run the risk, which the stronger will not, and throw itself upon the uncertain and disputed protection of the Pact when 1t stands in hourly peril of the un, leashing of the destructive forces by the Invading state In the name of the right of war"
 Liang. who formerly was secre- tary to the minister of foreign af- fairs Of China and also secretary to the minister. of justice. Is in the United States lecturing on in- ternational law. He was tech nical advisor to the Chinese dele- gation at the Conference on Codi- ficqtion of international Law. at the Hague, in 1g3O. and .

France Is Finally Feeling Effect of World
 Depression

 Paris.-(UP)-Increasing unem. pioyment. a slight drift of gold away from the Bank of France, falling imports and exports. re duced government revenue and a budget deficit are among the prin- cipal worries of Premier Edouard Herriot.
 For several years, France avoid ed the many economic troubles that 'beset her neighbors and the United States. The almost even distribu- tions of French wealth and man. power between agriculture and in- dustry was her salvation. Econ- omists are agreed that if world re- covery had been hastened, France would have gone through without feeling the pinch.
 Now she is suffering the ills of her neighbors. Lost markets abroad have cut down her export trade. Slowing up of the nations wheels of industry caused unemployment. To-day France has more than a million unemployed and 265, ,140 wefe on the national dole at the last report. t.

 The whole of French commerce bureau of customs announced that French imports for hte first six months of 1892 reached 10,083,- 949,O00 francs.
 The latest customs report shows a continuation of the commerce slump. For June, the imports to- tailed 2,601,S31,00O francs and the exports 1,576, ,403,000 francs.
 Parliament spent lavDihly during the last months before it's vacation and as a result the official statis- tics show that the French budget is actually deficitary by 4,748,0 000.- 900 francs! This Is the greatest de- felt since the war.
 Huge Deficit
 The deficit when parliament went on vacation was BIAS mill lion francs. Further credits of 400 are necessary. On top of that, France will not receive l. 200, 100000 francs from Germany as reparation payments, bringing her total to four and three-quartcr milliard francs deficit.

Expansion of Government
F0reshadows Smaller But
More White House Events
Throngs of Thousand Guests Too Great Tax
Upon Chief Executive and First .
Lady of Land

Hard by the estate of the Secretary
of State on Long Island romance has
been underway which particularly in
terests Washington society. The whirr
of an airplane has been heard every
day for year as Mr. Theodore Douglas
Robinson, son Of the one-time Assist
ant Secretary Of the Navy, few to
greet his lady love, Miss Louise Miller
to whom his engagement was announced
a few days ago. The habit is perilous
one and former Gov Miller and his
daughter had more than one shock
while awaiting the arrival of their guest
and especially after he narrowly es-
capped serious injury in forced land
ing and damaged plane.
Debutantes of this season were ini-
tiated into the gayest and most uncon-
ventional side of Washington life at
the tackey party at the Mayf1ower last
night when girls who came out last
season or the season before rollicked
through many hours with the tender
fledglings of this season, and taught
them how to forget the small self
consciousness of first year out.
There being debutante in the execu-
tive personnel of the Presidents family,
Miss Irene Helen Robbins, daughter of
the Minister of Protocol and Mre Rob-
bins, recognition on the White House
invitation list will be considered-as
always before-the grand achievement
of the season. This season there Is a
return to the old-fashioned custom of
introducing girls in the sacred precincts
Of the home, at a tea, tea dance or an
old-fashioned ball.
Home parties are naturally more pri-
vate and exclusive as, hotel must have
numbers to make an event worth while
financially, but the servant problem still
troubles the hostess minds and some
of the paries will be given in public
places. The Army War College is the
enviable place where four girls will be
presented amid the flutter of flags and
the dashing strains of military music,
while several will seek the exclusive
National Woman's Country Club, and
several parties are scheduled for other
country clubs.
