LITTLE ENTENTE'S
LEADERS PARLEY
Delicate Question of Euro.
pean Balance of Power
Is Discussed.
~ the Associated Press.

~ tne Associated FreSS.
BRATISLAVA, Czechoslovakia, Sep
tember i2.-Europe's delicate balance
Of power became q vital issue again
today as statesmen of the Little En-
tente gathered around conference
tables.
The meeting was regarded as one
Of the most important in the history
Of the Little Entente, composed Of
Yugoslavia, Rumania, and Czecho-
slovakia.
Delegates sought to fnd an answer
to this question:
Shall Southeastern Europe follow
the military. economic and political
policies Of Russia, France, Germany
or Poland?"
The absence Of former Foreign Min
lister Nicholas Titulescu Of Rumania
from the session was regarded as a
victory for the Germans Titulescu
was deposed from his post in a gov
ernmental reorganization which OBJ
servers interpreted as leading to a
closer association between Rumania
and Germany.
Influence Of France.
France. through her alliances with
Poland and Russia, was believed to
exert important influence on the de-
hberations. although Yugoslavia and
Rumania were reported to be debating
the formation Of an anti-Bolshevik
front.
Rumania's demand for the aboli-
ton OF the 15-year-old International
Danube Commission was among the
major points to be discussed.
Rumania has long considered the
commission set up in 1921 to regulate
commerce on the Danube River an
afiront to her sovereignty. Now
following the Montreux conference
and Turkish refortification of the
Dardanelles-she has expressed belief
she has another reason for its aboli-
ton.
She has felt she has q right to
control her portion of the Danube
and its mouth, which, she thinks.
has been made vulnerable through
the Turkish refortification program.
Watch Over Shipping.
Since 1886 a European commission
has watched over Danubian shipping
from the Black Sea to Galati, in
Eastern Rumania. In 1921 an inter-
national committee was founded to
supervise the stretch from Galati to
Ulm, in Southern Germany.
Since Austrian affairs were expected
to play . part in the Little Entente
discussions, the selection of Brati-
slava for the conference was viewed in
Vienna as something Of gesture.

TOXIC, September 12.-Japanese
desire for new naval treaties, based on
parity with Great Britain and the
United States. was limited today by
Admiral Osami Nagano, minister OF
the navy.
Admiral Nagano, In an exclusive in
teryiew, expressed confidence peace
will continue in the Pacific with ex-
piration of the London and Washing
ton pacts next January.
He disclaimed japanese intent to
inaugurate a naval building race with
the United States and Great Britain
after termination of the treaties.
II see no reason to fear that the
prospects OF continued peace in the
Pacific should be darkened by the
termination Of the treaties q few
months hence" the cabinet minister
asserted. .t
The hint of new treaties was linked
with an emphatic declaration equality
in naval strength must be granted to
Japan.
Security Held Treaty Basis.
Admiral Nagano. who led his dele
CATION from the London Naval Con-
ference last Winter when japanese
demands for parity were rejected. de-
clared:
ANY new naval treaty must rest
on the basis of the security Of all the
contracting nations. The japanese
Navy believes that such security can
most satisfactorily be assured by
quantitative equality among the prin-
cipal naval powers"
He expressed belief "and earnest
hope the growth of UNDERSTANDING
between Japan. the United States and
Great Britain" would permit some
form of naval agreement in the future
how soon he could not estimate.
The questions of whether Japan's
new naval program would include
capital ships or whether such ships

or l4-inch guns were evaded skill.
fully.
Naval authorities of other powers
have exhibited eagerness to have
these questions answered before they
embark on new building programs OF
their own.
Submarine Question Evaded.
Likewise, the admiral steered away
from discussion of the recently an.
nounced Japanese plan to retain SUBJ
marines in excess OF the limit set by
the London treaty. These submarines
under the pact, would have been
scrapped.
Admiral Nagano asserted Japan ha,
not withdrawn from its stated posi-.

I'VE hold to our principle of nom
menace and non-aggression," he said
We desire every navy should be
strong enough for all defensive pur-
poses. but that none should be strong

start competition with other powers

ANOTHER MOWGLI

From South America, greatest
field Of adventure left on earth,
come three arresting items in
the Human Side OF the News.
You remember Rudyard Kip
Lng's child of nature, Mowgh?
The child who was snatched from
a native village of India by a
tiger, was dropped by the brute
and then made its way to a den
Of wolves which adopted it,
taught it all the wondrouS lore of
the jungle and reared it to super
manhood veritable Tarzan?
Real life and this modern day
have produced in the jungles of
San Salvador, in Central Amer
lea, another such Mowgli. The
owner Of a coffee estate near
Acajutia. the whole a mere clear
ing in the jungle, was hunting
deer one night. Through the
shadows he glimpSed a small fig
ure bounding along with the
speed and grace of a fawn. The
senior abandoned the deer-hunting
for what seemed to be much more
interesting game.
A rapid survey revealed human
footprints left behind by the flee
ing figure. The chase came to
nothing that night, but the follow
ing day the coffee planter traced
the footprints to cave, and with
the assistance of his men, finally
captured the strange, young ami
NAL who lurked within.
It was a boy about eight years
old, human in form and in moth
ing else.
He fought with the savagery of
a young jaquar, clawing and
biting. His strength for a child
so young was astounding. They
had to bind him with ropes before
he could be taken to the ranch
house.
1t was weeks before he was even
half tanned. And now he is the
subject of an arreSting experiment
which is being carried out at the
school in Sonsonate, in Salvador.
Apparently, the child had wan
dered from an Indian village into
the jungle, or may have been car
ried there by an animal. From in
fancy he lived with animals and
adopted their ways. He even un-
derstood their language"
Think of this true story the
next time you read Kipling'S
jungle Book"

full, something that prevents plen-
ty of unpleasant incidents.
What's the use of becoming
angry or abusive if one bumps
into another person after one has
gone around in circles for ten min
utes, only to discover by dint of
much peering that one has merely
crossed the road? It is much bet
ter to laugh and so prevent frayed
temperS. Drivers, too, all manage
to remain cheerful and by an un-
written law the whole thing is
treated as a good joke. One even
runs smack into a policeman, who
sometimes has a lantern hung
near the base of a nearby post,
to help things along.
cts a bit heavy. sir, today,
don't you think?" the policeman
will politely inquire, and you will
say that you don't think that this
bit of fog is half as bad as that
which London had last December
or was it January, in fact, this fog
is quite a bit of a joke, what?
Beating the Handicaps
Sometimes the fog has dispersed
by next morning, but then again,
sometimes it continues day after
day-maybe for three or four
days. Never a let-up, never a beam
of watery winter sun shining
through a cleft in the black pail,
just deep, impenetrable darkness,
darkness more heavy, more inky
than night. Wise LondonerS have
laid in a flock Of provisions
against such happenings, and, as
far as possible, most folks stay
home, or at most, only take neceS-
Sary trips. But, of course, the
younger generation is out in the
fog, having high links and treat
ing it all as a big joke.
If it happened to be Christmas
shopping time, then whole con-
voys Of people go out together,
finding their way to the nearest
underground or subway station,
and then going on to one of the
large stores to do their shopping.
Then they meet either to go on in
body to a West End restaurant
or to go back to the suburbs.

WHEN 1T RAINS

Long and indefinate has been
the discussion of the rainy sea-
son" in Ethiopia which, it is con-
tended, will confuse and con-
found the armies of Italy.
The actual time of the "rainy
season." however. appears to have
been a controverted question.
It has been said in some
quarters that the Italian forces
would first be plagued by the
"rainy season" within the next
few weeks.
The National Geographic So
ciety answers the question by
pointing out that what is known
as "the little rainy season" begins
in February and extends through
May. It is then that the real
"rainy season" begins and con-
tinues to October, when the dry
season starts.
Taking an average from 20-year
comparisons, the society gives the
following table of rainfall by
inches for a 12-month period.
In October it is TO; November,
SIS; December. "a, and January.
SO. In February it goes to 1.89:
March, 2.76; April, 3.42, and May,

LONDON

At this time of year, the trans
atlantic cables carry stories that
tell about the London fogs. Lots
of stories often are overdone,
but the London fog is all that
it is said to be, often a great
deal worse.
But if you don't mind little
inconvenience, maybe even q
speck of danger, then you may
enjoy being in London just now
and cropping your way through a
London fog, particularly one of
the pea-soup variety. But even
with the fogs, London at this
time of year is bright and cheer
full.
But let's get back to the fogs
first and watch the pail that
slowly or suddenly deScendS over
the city, like a yellow or black
blanket blotting out all sight of
the sun or even the sky. It's
said that the fogs aren't so
intense as they used to be, but
in place of that improvement
they seem to stick around longer.
We don't know how black they
used to be, but they seem to be
just about as thick and dark
as a fog could be. OF course,
directly the fog appears all lights
go on and the city is as illu-
minated as though it were night.
Then the fog seems to descend
in wraith-like clouds until all the
lights seem to be obliterated and
it becomes impossible to see more
than an arms length.
Everybody Cheerful
The giant motor bus lumbers
along slowly, trying to hug the
curb if it can find it. Pedestrians
grope along flashing electric
torches, the tiny circle of light
making an eerie glow in the inky
black. Years ago, men with flam-
ing torches used to precede trucks
and buses, and sometimes this
still can be seen in the outskirts
of London. Then flares were
placed at certain intersections to
guide traffic. The London Bob

Former Senator Smith w. Brook

Senate was marked by his efforts
to secure farm legislation, was one
of the first men to rush to the
Capitol following the momentous
announcement by the Supreme
Court that the AAA was unconsti.

The former Senator announced
that he had methods in mind
which would save the situation for
the farmer and permit the Ad.
m1nlStration to build a new farm.
ala structure on the ruins of the
AAA.
Furthermore, Brookhart an
nounced. he had a solution which
would prevent further trouble from
farm legislation.
That proposal was for Congress
to take away the jurisdiction of
the lower courts so that they
could not, entertain suits which
would throw the matter into the
Supreme Court.
The proposal was not a new
one Tor the former Senator from
Iowa. He has always contended
mat such a method was q good
one when it came to protecting
legislation. Consequently in the
turmoil caused by the AAA de-
clslon he apparently believes it
would be an opportune moment to
revive his old program.
chances OF progress with such
a proposal are considered remote,
however, as there are many men
on Capitol Hill who would not
subscribe to the plan.
