NEUTRALS
PARAGUAY ACTION
SoIer's Departure Closes
Door in Face of U. S., Latin
Nations and League.

p~. Soler. the representative OF Para
quay on the Commission of Neutrals to
f1nd solution of the Chaco dispute
between Paraguay and Bolivia. closed
the door in the face Of the American
Government. the League of Nations and
the neutral nations of South America
by departing Yesterday for his native
land and refusing to listen any further
to the proposals of the commission,
which is under the chairmansh1p OF
Assistant Secretary of State Francis
White.
The departure of the Paraguayan
representative. While expected IN GER
tain quarters, came like bombshel in
washington diplomatic circles.
For the last six months Assistant
Secretary Of State White and repre-
sentatiyes OF Argentina, Brazil, Chile
and Peru have been endeavoring to find
a solution to the Chaco dispute and
put an end to the unofficial war be-
tween Paraguay and Bolivia. Even the
League Of Nations took a hand in 1t,
but NOBODY seemed able to bring about
an agreement whereby the disputant
states should submit their row to an
international arbitration.
Paraguay Denounced.
As soon as Dr. Soler left, stating
automatically that he might return:
Mr.. White and the other members OF
the commission began sending lcng
kilograms to all the interested nations
and to Geneva denouncing the Para
guayan attitude.
The commission cabled Geneva tnat
while the Bolivian government nao
expressed its acceptance In principle
of the proposal of the Neutral Com
mission of December Is as basis for
discussion, the Paraguayan government
stated that the proposal does not give
assurance that the fighting will not be
resumed and demand complete evacua- :
ton of Chaco by Bolivia, the limits OF
which are not agreed to by the BOLIVIAN
and Paraguayan governments:
THE neutrals in reply pointed out
that they are not judges passing on the
titles of either party. but are mercy
offering a way out by separating the
troops to such extent as to give DEFINITE
assurances that fighting will not be
resumed '"
League Interference Barred.
AS the interference of the League OF
Nations in this matter is not considered
either desirable or efficacious by any OF
the neutrals, the GABLE ended by gently
putting an end to any attempt OF
interference on the part of the League:
.sThe Neutral Commission will be glad
to keep you advised of developments
and to make any suggestions for CO.
operation which might later be per
tinent."
To the Brazilian government, Mr..
White, as chairman of the Neutral Com
mission, has sent cable appealing
directly for help. After reviewing the
developments which led to the departure
of Or. Soler, he asked the Brazilian
government:
I'm these circumstances, the Neutral
Commission desires to know what steps
your excellency's government is pre-
pared to take in order to bring about
peace between these two countries. II
the countries of this hemisphere will
work together, peace can be re-estab-
lished. > The Neutral Commission
will very much appreciate a prompt
reply from your excellency. A similar
request is being made OF the other gov
ernments bordering on Bolivia and
Paraguay"

Only Modern Methods Can Save
Chesapeake Bay Area Declares
Biologist of Fisheries Bureau.

Only the adoption of modern meth
DDS of oyster culture can save Chesa-
peake Bay as an area for growing oys-
ters. according to the United States
Bureau of Fisheries.

Robert o. Smith. aquatic biologist of
the bureau. 1T will eventually become
economically impossible to produce oys-

Terming the Chesapeake the finest
body of water in America for produc-
ing oysters, Smith, who devotes all his
time to study of the bivalve, says proper
methods would increase the size and
improved the quality of the bays yield.
The Chesapeake's yield decreased from
17,000, 900 bushels of oysters In 1880 to
5000, 900 bushels in 1880.

Reports received at a con-
ference Of the men in charge
of the Presidents reemploy-
ment program in IL principal
cities of the United States
exceed our expectations.
They indicate a practically
unanimous compliance and
leave no doubt that by the
end of this week in those
cities at least 95,708 employ
ers will be under the Blue
Eagle.
Reports from the same
source on increased employ
inent and increased business
are equally encouraging. The
expectation was general that
Immediately after Labor Day
this country will witness
marked forward surge in busi-
ness.
1t is the purpose of NRA
about September Is to engage
in a nationwide educational
campaign to encourage 'mme-
diate and universal buying, not
as a gesture and not on the
basis of patriotic appeal-but
because buying in anticipation
Of a broad price advance Is
the most prudent and advisa-
BILE thing to do.
I commend the Hearst news
papers for their patriotic cam
paign urging the people to
"buy in September"
There is no question now
Of universal enthusiastic re-
ception of the Blue Eagle and
all that it stands for. We are
on our way out of what the
President called four years of
economic hell.

This is directly in line with the

BY. the Hearst newspapers, which

Thomas P. Lttlepage, general

This is a splendid idea and
the 1000 members Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce will get behind
it in a big way. 1 am sure
WaShingtOnians will grasp this,
their first opportunity, for 100

advantage to Buy in Septem.
ber.' Stores are filled with
fresh stock and those who buy

Of the selections as well as the
advantage Of prices which
probably will go higher"

llrerS Association, also warmly
Endorsed the campaign. He said:
"WaShingtOnianS who have
pledged to cooperate in the
NRA campaign undoubtedly
will welcome this opportunity to
show their cOlOrS at the earliest
possible time. Business men here
have put more men to work
and increased wages. This can
be justified, and continued, only
by the public response in the
form Of increased trade. The
sooner WaShingtOnianS start
spending money with local mer-
chants, the more certain they
will make the continued en-
plOyment Of men recently put
to work, and the higher COM
pensatiOn now being paid. The
Buy in September movement
should result in providing jobs
for more men and women"

ST|RS WARNING

BALTIMORE. ON. 81 "A t.
tending college for the mere pur.
pose Of having enjoyed college
life" will result in destructive
effects on the character of young
men and women.
This opinion was voiced by DR..
Leslie B. Holman, clinical psy.
chiatriSt at the Johns Hopkins
University School of Medicine, in
an attack upon the idea preva-
lent among many of the nations
youth that college life is synony.
nous with "club life"
DR.. Holman stressed the fact
that primary aims of the college
are to educate and not to en-.
tertain.
He placed the blame upon the
parents who failed to demand
that study was the principal pur-
pose Of a college course. He
said:
college life could be used
to teach the proper balance be-
tween work and play, but not
if parents are not wise enough
to insist that work must come

ORE SHIPMENTS
SHOW GAIN

CLEVELAND. Ore shipments
on the five Great Lakes during
1888 will total between 100000
and 100000 tons, as compared to
3,567,9S5 tons in 1882, according
to estimates of J. F. Froggett,
trade magazine editor.
"A survey of reliable estimates
in the trade indicates that lake
ore shipments this year will
range between five and seven
million tons or around 10 per
cent of the movement of 63,-
100000 tons in 1929" said Frog
gett. "ShipmentS last year we're
3,567,9S5 tons, the lowest for
any year since 1886.
Estimates of some increase
is this years ore shipments over
1892 are not based on forecasts
of any important expansion in
pig iron and steel production.
Rather, the ore that is moved
will be to relieve distress situa-
tiOn in leases, to get ore out Of
StOckpiIes where it is heavily
taxed and to provide certain
grades to consumers for even
ing-up mixtures"
