NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

The situation in the Orient, clouded
and uncertain as it is, has done quite
little to clarity the atmosphere in
America from the nationalist stand
point. The inability of the League of
Nations or any of the many so-called
peace agreements to stop the invasion
of China by the Japanese, in spite of
the urgent calls of the Chinese for

help and arbitration, has done a great
deal in the United States to discredit
international agreements and super
governing bodies as war preventives,
and has caused chrystalizing of sem
timent, inside Congress and out,
against getting the United States into
any foreign entanglements or induc-
ing Uncle Sam to depend too much on
promises and not enough on his de-
fensive armament.
There is no militarism in the United
States. In fact, peace sentiment is
well nigh universal, from the Attain
tic to the Pacific. But the people are
more and more becoming convinced
that the world cannot depend so much
on the League of Nations and it's
Court, the Kellogg-Briand and other
peace pacts, as it can on defensive
armament and a disposition to mind
its own business and let the other
nations of the world, so far as posi-
BILE, settle their own problems with
out foreign interference.
***
AS result, there never was less
sentiment for getting Uncle Sam into
the League Of Nations than at pres
ent. All of the predictions made by
the anti-League Senators a decade
ago seemed to have turned out to be
true, while the claims of the pro-
Leaguers have been refuted by world
events. Even former League leaders
like Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Newton D. Baker have so far de-
waited from their earlier paths, so far
as the League is concerned, that JOS
eph Tumulty, who was secretary to
President Wilson, has seen fit pub
licly to chide them for their change
of faith, or perhaps lack of faith.
All of this, it is expected, will fur
nish ammunition for the anti-League
Court Senators, when the question Of
getting Uncle Sam into the Court
through the Root protocol comes up
in the Senate. The anti-Court Sena-
tors are much encouraged by recent
international developments which,
they claim, have substantiated their
views that Uncle Sam should stay out
of the League and the League Court
and devote his time to building up his
own nation. In fact they believe that
if the World Court resolution were to
come to a vote now they could defeat
it, along with the Root modification.
One anti-internationalis Senator told
the writer recently that he would like
to get the World Court resolution
voted out now, because he felt assured
that the result would be overwhelm-
ing defeat for the resolution. Just
when it will be reported out of COM
mittee cannot be stated, but it is ev-
ident that the pro-League Court Sem
atorS are just as much depressed at
present as their opponents are elated.

The Sino-Japanese situation also
has COMPOUNDED the pacifsts as well
as the internationalists. In view of
the late Japanese action sentiment
for strengthening our national de-
tense, instead of weakening it, has
grown rapidly. The threat to cut the
Army for economy's sake may not
materialize in Congress and it is now
much more likely that the Vinson
ten-year naval program, to give us
navy up to treaty strength, will be
pessed by Congress.

PRISON BREAK PLOT
KNOWN TO GUARDS.
Three of Michigan State In
stitution Said to Have Ad-
mitted Conspiracy Pact.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, October 7.-Prosecutor
Harry S. Toy announced last night that
two Of three Michigan State Prison
guards held in connection with a re-
ported prison break plot had admitted
knowledge of the conspiracy.
The plot officials said, involved the
use of dynamite and firearms and had
for its purpose the liberation from the
Overstreet. bank robber, and Edward
Cross, serving a life sentence for rob-
berry.
Revealed by Arrest.
Investigators said the plans for the
prison break were revealed with the
arrest yesterday of Mary Cross, sister
Of Cross. and Mrs. Agnes Schoonmaker,
late of Minneapolis, a friend Of Hall.
Dynamite and firearms, police said,
were found in their rooms in suburban
Dearborn Wednesday.
Prosecutor Toy said Archie G. French,
prison guard, had confessed that Mrs.
Schoonmaker asked him to help her
smuggle guns into the prison.
The prosecutor also said that Ken
meth Watson, another guard, admitted
he was one Of the men referred to in
letters found in the possession Of the
women and said by officers to have a
bearing on the proposed prison break.
The third guard held is Ernest w.
Stanton. Prosecutor Toy said letter
seized in the women's rooms and be-
lieved by him to have been written by
French. contained the statement, You
had better have Stanton and Watson
in" French. Toy said, admitted mailing
the letter which was addressed in his
handwriting, but claimed it was written
by Watson.
French was quoted as saying that he
had been taking money and letters in
and out of the prison for some time
and that recently he mailed $50 to
Jim Hall in Minneapolis"
SchOonmaker Statement.
Mrs. Schoonmaker, who has admitted
her connection with the plot, said a
man she met on a bus going from
Covington, KY, to Canton, Ohio, helped
her get five sticks of dynamite in
Canton. Investigators, however, have
asked Elyria, Ohio, officials to find and
question Halls wife, whom he married
on the eve Of his prison term. in the
belief she may have helped secure the
explosive.
Warden Harry jackson, who joined
in the investigation today upon his re-
turn from the national convention of
prison officials in Indianapolis, said he
attached no particular significance to
sporadic derelictions among employees
and outbreaks among inmates, after
hearing other wardens describe condi-
tions in much smaller prisons There
are $500 inmates and TIA employees at
the prison.

rare courage In coming back to the
game after grave injuries. Last Sum-
mer, much against the advice of her
well wishers, she essayed solo crossing
of the Atlantic, but her new especially
built plane suffered accidents which
made 1t necessary to call of the at
tempt. The first mishap was in New
York, where she did little damage to
herself or plane in fast landing. She
took of successfully some time later
on the first lap of her transatlantic
flight, but on reaching Newfoundland,
where she was to start her European
dash, she again set the plane down at
too high a speed and wrecked it be-
yond repair, She was confined to a
hospital with dangerous injuries for a
period after that.
Miss Nichols keeps everlastingly at
it, though, and her new record, which
beats her teacher by several hundred
feet, Is tribute to her skill and
courage. She has proved herself able
to set up enviable marks for woman
