REJECTS
GREAT BRITAIN'S
PEACE PROPOSAL
Deadlock Develops When
MuSSoIini Turns Down
Eden'S Clause.
SECRET SESSION HELD
Gravity of Situation Shown
by LavaPS Quiet
Moves.
By United Press

81 United Press
GENEVA, Aug. Am
apparently hopeless deadlock
developed tonight between
Great Britain and Italian deli
egates in efforts to mediate
the ltalian-Ethiopian crisis.
and a meeting of the Council
of the League of Nations,
summoned for today to re-
ceive settlement proposals,
was postponed indefinitely.
Capt. Anthony Eden, representing
Great Britain, and Baron Pompeo
Aloisi, Premier Benito Mussolini's
negotiator for Italy, precipitated the
deadlock when they failed to agree
on one clause of two-part plan
to avert war
Mussolini fatty rejected the clause
which. it was understood, fixed q
time limit for negotiations to end.
The stalemate developed as the
council optimistically expected a
compromise based on favorable re-
ports from a conference of Capt.
Eden, Baron Aloisi and Premier
Pierre Laval of France, last night.
The situation was deemed SO grave
that even private sessions of the
council we're suspended and men,
bers met in closed executive session
to hear Laval explain the status Of
negotiations.
Situation Is Aggravated
Further aggravating the crisis was
notification from Professor CASTOR
Jeze. legal assistant to Ethiopia's
chief delegate, Tecla Hawariat, that
Abyssinia can not accept any solu-
ton based on a 1906 treaty with
Italy which Ethiopia never has rec
ognized
The plan was understood to pro.
vide:
l. Resumption of arbitration to
decide responsibility for. frontier
clashes on the disputed East African
frontier of Ethiopia and the Italian
colonies of Eritrea and Somaliland.
2. Negotiations by Britain, France
and Italy to settle the whole dispute
between Italy and Ethiopia, Of
which the frontier clashes are but
minor part. Britain would repre-
sent Ethiopia.
MusSolini, by long distance tele-
phone from Rome, CURLY rejected
yesterday plan for two-part nego-
tiation which his delegate. Baron
Aloisi, submitted to him. The re-
lection was expected 1t would have
been a marked victory for Ethiopia.
Laval Redrafts Plan
Laval started to work at once to
redraft his plan.
The compromise was telephoned
to MuSsolino.
Under the plan the two-part me-
gotiations would proceed, if neces-
sary, until date during September.
If there had been no agreement, the
League council would meet and
Stake the Leagues life on bitter
fight to fix responsibility for GER
tain war; fight in which small
nations would denounce Italy am
grily. and which would almost GER
tainly result in Italy's resignation
from the League unless the 81
world nations in it capitulated to
Mussolinis demand for colonial ex-
pansion.
Success would mean that Etfi-
opia unwillingly surrendered
measure of its independence. under
a formula which would give Italy
important concessions. but would
preserve, in formal treaty words, the
name of sovereign nation.

IRON the earliest days of drama every playwright
i has realized that sympathy in any pageant goes
instInctivelv to the underdOg. There IS the addeo
factor that most OF the prominent labor leaders nave
had far more training in oratory than the business
executives Many highly gifted ndustrialist is
little III at ease when he finds himself IN the spot
where it is not quite appropriate to say MISS
Snivens Will YOU take letter." The rougher train
ing of huge music hall and the stimulation OF an
angry opposition has not often fallen WITHIN the
experience Of the average business men.
Accordingly, there seems to be no dissent thaC

warned however never to go back to Wilmington
ana his terrible experience there is the reason whv
washington people who were children when the
statue of Adimarl du Pont stood in the circle
always take the detour past Wilmington in driving
to New York.
The Wilmington people are not affected by the
statue as Delaware is entirely populated by du Points
and the old admiral looks normal to them
After Mr.. Fall was convicted Of parking by the
hydrant-another indictment for carrying lighted
cigar on street car dismissed for lack Of
evldence--Some one in the Department of the In
terror felt the humiliation so deeply that the old
painting was secretly removed and became national
mystery.
Since then, thousands of pictures have been
acquired by the government through the Public
Works Administration which last year hired thou
sands of artists to paint pictures of the American
with topics barred except Al Fall ard
ladies without any clothes. In the Office of Stew
Goodwin, alone, the press agent Of the department.,
there four of these public art treasures believed
to be pictures of trees 1t is not known exactly what
phases of the American they represent but art
experts have assured Mr. Goodwin that there is Moth
ing in them suggesting either Mr. Fall or any ladies
without clothes.
Still it is desired to find the missing portrait Of
the man who shared the wealth with his friends

He's No Amateur

IF at some future time the Senator's friends
should decide quietly to share with him the wealth
of the oil fields which he mas been kind enough to
share with them, that would be no more than fair.
After all nobody ever successfully accused Senator
Long Of being an amateur
Unfortunately for Al Fall, he held office and
shared the wealth with his friends long before that
euphenlistc phrase invented. AS a result Mr.
Fall was accused of parking near a hydrant and
sentenced to a year in prison.
According to an old CUSTOM when Mr.. Fall left
Office and before he convicted of illegal parking
an artist was commissioned make hand-painted
portrait of him to hang in the corridors of the De-
partment OF the Interior as one of the gradually
out lneXorably rising accumulation of government
ART treasures. These treasures are divided into two
general groups, oil paintings and statues Oil paint

nave been distributed in the public parks and efforts
nave been made to hide them with shrubberv but

John L. Is q POWer

TINE speech of John L. Lewis which aroused the
4 critical praise Of all the commentators does not
sound ike an extraordinary document to a reader.
But have heard John L. and know the power ana
responsiveness of his personality. Even when ms
theme is anthracite and wage scales the auditor
can not escape the feeling that Mr.. Lewis IS just
about to play Hamlet and play it to the hlIt
Unlike most labor leaders he does not make
sDeeches of prOdigiOus length-that is not IN woro
content John L. Lewis is the finest orator l rave
ever heard in the use of the dramatic pause he can
make silence sing and even argue for him. When
point is made he allows it to sink in and there Is
never any sraying of the attention because he hods
his audience with gaze of extraordinary intensity.
He peers out from under eyebrows which shoulo
be the envy of every tragedan. Walter Hampden Is
a Pomcranian in comparison to Lewis. And the
voice has a ring and a richness which makes even a
SGT of figures sound like roll of drums. AS mat
ter of fact the head of the United Mine workers
very often leaves the statistical department to some
subordinate.
He fixes his eyes upon the furtherrnost wall ana
seems to be looking beyond them even into everast-
ing hills And then there rurnbles out something
such as hope deferred doth make the heart sore.
And I may add as a concluding tribute to the pest
rouch and tumble DemostheneS the A. F. OF l..
affords. when John L. Lewis is sore he Is gooo ana

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

A BOUT 30 per cent OF impressions come 10 us
IA through our eyes.
AS result, conservation of the eye is Of utmost
importance for every child. 1t is particularly I'M
portant for those children who happen to be handi-
capped through loss Of hearing, by Gripping or by
mental defect.
These must substitute their eyes for other senses
Thus, the child who is hard OF hearing must learn
to interpret movements Of lips and facial muscles.
The crippled child, being unable to move, has TO
use his eyes substitute for agile legs. Otner
children run about; the eyes Of the crippled child
must bring the world to him.
ITO break through the cloud which obstructs the
i intellect of the mental defective, the sense OF
vision is exceedingly important.
Since most children come first to public attention
in the classroom, teachers in schools bear heavy
responsibility for detecting eyestran and visual de-
feet The moment they observe any inflammation
of the eyes of the child occurrence Of frequent
s:yes, spasns Of the eyelids, or twitching OF the
facial muscles they should call it TO the attention OF
the school physician, provided one is available.
In many cases. children who seem to be unable
to learn to read or write, or who seem to lack In
concentration, fail because Of inadequate sight.
NOWADAYS there is standard Of eye hygiene.
~ This involves good natural lighting. adequately
supplemented by artificial lighting on dark days 1t
involves desks which will not reflect the light from
shiny desk top into the chds eyes, and, if possible,
a flexible seating arrangement in classrooms so that
no child will sit IL its own shadow.
Good lighting says specialist, land con-
seriousness Of its Lack well-printed books; eye rest
periods; all the many factors which go to make up
a program of eve health in the classroom of no
avail if they do not become part Of the childs own

the height of enjoying the rewards
of his arms, now that the great
Bonaparte is looking for peace, no
more wars.
Napoleon's mind is made up. He
will divorce Josephine. He will
wed one of the daughters Of the
aristocracy that looks on him as a
parvenu. 1t shall be the Grand
Duchess Anna of Russia, sister of
Car Alexander, or it shall be
Marie Louise, eldest daughter of
Francis I of Austria, a Hapsburg
sprung from the Caesars.
The marriage not only will
strengthen his political fences; it
will provide a son of Napoleon.
The wheels of diplomacy are
started.
1t takes only a few months. The
Josephine divorce is quietly ar
ranged by the Cardinals Napoleon
controlled. Napoleon's advisers
lean toward Anna of Russia. Rus
STA is his strongest ally. Remem-
Der, there is England to consider,
a relentless England that never
will accept Napoleon, that would
find alliance with snubbed Rus
STA very easy.
But Anna of Austria is only IA.
And in Vienna the slyest diplomat
of his age, Wenzel Won Metternich,
ponders this. The hated Napoleon
would wed Marie Louise. The
proudest aristocracy of Europe,
the Hapsburgs, would be united
with the master of Europe
master, even if upstart. And the
fact might mean a breach between
France and Russia, Bonaparte's
strongest ally. Metternich dis
patches Prince Schwarzenberg to
Paris. Napoleon shall wed Marie
Louise.
Perhaps it is Metternich's wire
pulling. Perhaps it is Napoleon's
impetuousneSs, now that his di-
vorce is fact. Russia insists on
clauses, understandings in the
marriage contract. Poland must
not be restored as Poland. There
are delays.
