4 'SEES BRIGHT FUTURE| :SUCCEED TO TURMOIL ?TarAieu Reviews Indepcndcnce Day Con- ditions Since America Entered War, and Finds Reason for Hope. BY ANDRE TARDIEU, Former French High Commi to America. ! By cable to The Star. PARIS, July 2. which the United States celebrates Monday, and in which France joins ‘whole-heartedly, invites us, as all an- niversaries do, to look back to thej past for a better understanding of the present. JULY 4, 1917—The United States had Just entered the world war unre- pervedly and ardently. But the United States was unprepared for war, and her great financi wh industrial power. ho it was my mission to co-ordinate with ours, was bardly organized. But tozether we were laying the corner stone for a great edifice. Before the Washington Monument we were proclaiming the Justice of our common cause and the strength of our hopes. But none dared be sure of the result. It was possible that German militarism might triumph over free nations. JULY 4, 1918—Since May Americans had been arriving in France at the rate of 300,000 monthly. Moreover, I had succeeded in increasing from 250, 000 to 500,000 monthly the tonnage o American munitions and foodstuffs fo our country. had just suffered terrible setbacks on the Somme and at the Chemin des Dames. The fronts. however, been consolidated, and we were ready for the final test of the German July offensive, which was destined to lead to an armistice four months later. JULY 4, 1919—One week had elapsed since, in the hall of the mirrors at Versailles. which had witnessed the triumph of might in 1871, the con- quering allies had signed the peace of , military and | But the allied armies| had | to reject her plain responsibilities and er | most imperative obligations.

One per- ceives in them how a most magnif- icent effort and the most bloody sac- rifies may become largely sterile if continuity of purpose is lacking. The economic situation resulting {from this political situation is con- used and troubled. As Lord Bryce eared. the value of international en- gagements has undergone heavy de- preciation. Every act of impudence is permitted and the reign of law seems ifarther away than ever. The week just passed offers nothing ito relieve the melancholy which re- flection on these flve anniversaries engenders. The allied governments have not ycl‘ found the boundaries of Upper Si- lesta. Greece boldly pushes aside the pa- {cific advice of the great powers. Therefore, the Briand-Curzon con- ferences, which the semi-official press VISCOUNT ALLENBY, British high commissioner to Egypt.

Slovenla, the Tyrol and the Trentino, obliging Ger- many to abandon her militarism and to repair the enormous damage her aggression had caused. The peoples confidently expected that the con- querors, through a durable union, would put_into practice those princi- ples on which the conscience of hu- manity was in agreement. JULY 4. 1920—The treaty had been in full effect since January 10, but the allied governments had done nothing to insure its execution. They had let Germany violate with clauses perscribing partial disarma- ment on March 10 and April 10. At Hythe and Boulogne conferences the allies had abandoned the basic prin- ciple of the treaty, namely the full reparation of damages. in favor of re- ducing the German debt by naming an arbitrary fixed sum to be paid. At Spa the allies had promised Germany hundreds of millions of francs for coal which the treaty obliged her to deliver free. Since March the Amer- ican Senate had refused to ratify the treaty and Germany, encouraged by the obvious disagreements among those lately allied. began imprudently i BOY, 19 YEARS, GUILTY OF MURDERING FATHER Werdict of Second-Degree Slaying.

CHICAGO, July 2.—Carl Wanderer, convicted slayer of his wife. his un- born child and a “ragged stranger, !is sane, a jury in Judge David's court decided today. Attorneys for the state contended this verdict exhaust- ed Wanderer's resources to escape hanging. Judge David sentenced Wanderer to_be executed July 29. Wanderer was convicted of slaying his wife and sentenced to twenty-five | years' imprisonment. He was then brought to trial for the slaying of “the ragged stranger,” who never has been identified, and was sen- tenced to be hanged. The hearing to determine Wanderer's sanity, how- ever, was obtained, following a state supreme court decision that a_man tcould not be hanged if he had be- come {nsane since his conviction. In his charge to the jurors, Judge David stated that the question for the jury to decide was whether Wanderer realized he was to be ex- ecuted and knew why this punish- ment was to be meted out to him. “If he has sufficient intelligence to realize these facts’” the judge said, “then he is in such a mental condi- tion under the law, that he can be executed.” SAW SLAIN PRISONERS.

Bruno Crusius, charged by the French government with having ordered the troops under their command to take no prisoners and to kill wounded men, Dr. ‘Wenger, an’ ‘Alsatian,” testified today that two wounded Frenchmen were found on August 26, 1914, by a German ambulance corps and shot by order of Crusius. Dr. Wenger testifled he remonstrated with Crusius, who replied he could not do otherwise, adding that a non-com- missioned officer had declared the exe- cution was carried out conformably with an order that no prisoners should be aken. ———————eeeeeeeeee e SPECIAL NOTICES.

Completed in 1910. The structure was erected originally for the Southern Building Company by the Thompson-Starrett Company from plans by D. H. Burnham & Co. of Chicago. It was completed in 1910, The building is ten stories high, of modern fireproof construction, and has a frontage on H street of 148 feet and on 15th street of 150 feet. Title to the property was once vest- ed in Rev. James Gibbons, archbishop of Baltimore, later cardinal. A group of southern business men declded to erect the building to house organizations promoting trade throughout the south. It was origi- nally planned to have each state take a floor, but this plan was abandoned and the Southern Building Company was formed. This company completed the build- ing and operated it until 1913, when it was sold to the Commercial and the First National Fire Insurance com- panies, Clear Title Established. The latter company then bought complete control. In 1917 the South- ern Realty Corporation, comprising about 800 of the stockholders of the First National Insurance Company, purchased the building. Suit was later brought by receivers of the in- surance company to set aside “the transfer. The sale was approved in THE SUNDAY STAR, | a decision by Chief Justice McCoy in | the Supreme Court of the District, and just recently this decision was afirmed by the Court of Appeals, thereby giving clear title. MONDELL DEFENDS WORK OF CONGRESS AS NEVER EXCELLED (Continued from First Page.) sldered in the House, and upon its passage the committee on ways and means will proceed immediately to the preparation of a bill to relieve the country of a considerable portion of the war tax burden. Has Labored Diligently. ‘While other Congresses have marked time during the preparation of a tariff measure, this Congress has labored diligently and effectively, has per- formed an amount of work and has to its credit a volume of accomplishment unmatched in any like period under similar circumstances. The record for efficiency and for well planned dis- patch of business has never been ex- celled. This session of Congress has accom- plished a net saving of approximate- 1y $104,000,000 on the Army and Navy appropriation bill as compared with the same bills as they stood at the close of the last Congress; a reduction of approximately $18,000,000 in the Army bill -and of $86,000,000 in the Navy bill. . The Congress has brought the state of war to an end and established an official peace status through the pas- sage of the peace resolution. The passage of the emergency tariff bill and the anti-dumping provisions which it carried was in itself of suf- ficlent importance to stamp the ses- sion of Congress as one thorougnly capable of prompt and efficient action. Budget Law a Reality. For twenty years or more the coun- try has been clamoring for budget legislation. This session of Congress has placed a budget law upon the statute books, and now, thanks to the energetic action of the President and the heads of executive departments, the budget is in full and thorough- going and effective operation. The unscrambling process following government telegraph and telephone control necessitated legislation to en- able the telephone business of the country to organize along sound economic lines, and legislation for this purpose was promptly enacted. One of the most urgent situations before the country was that presented by the danger of an enormous influx of immigrants. This menacing situa. tion was met by the prompt passage of the act restricting immigration. A lively contest in the closing days of the Wilsod administration between the government and a cable company attempting to land one of its cables on our shores brought to the public attention the necessity of legislation placing the executive branch of the government in control of such situa- tions in the interest of the national welfare and defense. COngress prompt- 1y passed the legisiation necessary to meet the situation. Law to Contrel Packing.

BY GEORGE N. BARNE! Former Member British C By Radio to The Btar. LONDON, July 2—Events of great moment have gathered so thick and fast upon us during the last fe days that the settiement of the dispute between Sweden and Finland may attract less attention than its importance warrants. T wish here to put it on record as vindicating reason, in contradis- tinction to force, in the region of international affairs. When Finland separated from Russia Sweden claimed the Aland Islands, situated just a short dis- tance from the Onlrnn(‘(‘\tn the Stockholm archipelago. and which for three centuries had been under Finnish jurisdiction. For two centuries, however, Finland was a part of the Swedish state, and for the last century. up to 1917. she had administered the islands on behalf of Russia. The Aland Islands -almost threw Sweden into the world war on the side of Germany. It was claimed that Russia, in violation of trea- ties, had fortified the islands to such an extent that they were a menace to Sweden. German propa- gandists in Stockholm used this pretext to inflame Swedish opin- fon against Russla and against the allies, and at one time in the spring of 1916 the question as to whether or not Sweden should cast her lot with Germany and plunge into the maelstrom of war de- pended upon a vote in the riksdag. Sanity triumphed and Sweden re- mained neutral. et. Council's Award Accepted. The question of the allocation of the islands and their administration in the future was last year re- ferred to the council of the league of nations. That body decided in favor of Findland. This was a de- cided blow to Swedish aspirations, the claim being that the islands should naturally form a base for the defense of Stockholm. But Mr. Branting, the Swedish premier, has accepted the award on behalf of his country, and it has been promulgated. The composing of the Aland Island controversy and the accept- ance of the award by Sweden mark a notable achievement on the part of the league of nations. In Silesia there is another small, bright spot discernible on the international horizon. Geweral agreements have been reached for the withdrawal of both German and Polish forces to the right side of the plebiscite iine, so that con- ditions are improved for the set- tlement of the disputed territory. This settlement must be made at the next meeting of the allied supreme council, and fortunately that meeting Is to be attended by the American ambassador to Great Britain, Col. Harvey. Meantime the Greeks spurned the proffered of the allies and are another offensive in Asia Minor, where the unfortunate Christian minorities ‘are in a parlous plight, their fate depending upon Greek success. Can the United States their ald? Can President Hard- ing do anything to back up his words of last October to American citizens of Greek descent? have mediation preparing come to Proposed Irish Conference. Here at home the move of the premier, Mr. Lloyd George, for a conference on the Irish question, with no conditions attached to the invitations sent to Ulster men and Sinn Felners, mark a definite and important advance on the part of the government. If the varlous obstacles which have arisen should prove too great o be overcome and the move ends -In failure, the situation will be serious. There is 4 dread altern: tive in the background. The date fixed for the first meet- ing of the Dublin parliament pass- ed last Tuesday. The last period of grace expires on July 12. At that time U‘P provision for a southern Irish parliament lapses and a crown colony, or some kind of military rule, may supervene. The moment is one pregnant with possibilitics. The doer to better understanding has been opened. The settlement of the Irish question would do much for civilization and for the peace of the world. It is a consummation devoutly wished by sensible and sympathetic men and women everywhere. E (Copyright, 1921, by The Washington Star.) MILLION IN BERNS TORFF PROPERTY MUST BE RETURNED BY COURT ORDER Justice Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has ordered Thomas W.

The carefully drawn bill for this purpose Which passed the House after a pro- longed and _thoroughgoing discussion will soon become a law.

Bl to Curb Futures Trading. The grain growers of the country have long been of the opinion that certain purely gambling operations in trading in grain futures are harmful to the grain growers and to the pub- lic generally. A well considered bill to remedy these evils has passed the House and is in a fair way to become a law. In addition to the above a very con- siderable number of measures of im- portance have passed one or the other of the two houses of Congress and are on their way to final enactment. In the meantime the committees of both branches of Congress have been un- usually active and a very considerable number of legislative problems of in- terest and importance are under con- sideration by the committees or are dealt with in bills which have been reported and are on the calendars. Keeping Pace With Prospects. At no time did any one familiar with the magnitude of the task be- lieve that a tarift bill could be re- ported much before the first of July. At no time has any one qualified to judge, believed that tariff and taxa- tion legislation could both be dis- posed - of before about the first of September. With the progress that has already been made that can be accomplished, and in the meantime, without in anywise halting or delay- ing these two measures of primary importance, much other essential legislation will be enacted. From the beginning of the session Congress has moved steadily and ef- fectively along constructive lines. In the House there has been a steady adherence to the program of legis- lation, a diligent application to the task at hand and a record of ac- complishment of which the members of that body may well be proud. —_— Cotinut Gader Ao ;::l:wn 8 ude. lome - , grant flowers. 1214 F.—Advertise- ment. —_— 19 BOLSHEVISTS ESCAPE.
