By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, October 28.—Horizon blue will be replaced by khaki as the color of the uniforms worn by French of- ficers and soldiers under a decision ched by the superior war council esterday. The uniforms of the French Army will in future be sim- ilar in color to those of the Ameri- can Army. The order for the change in the uniforms of the French Army will not come immediately into effect, but will be operative when the present stocks of horizon blue cloth are ex- hausted. These stocks, it is said at the ministry of war, are sufficient to last for ten years. —_— DOLLAR IS SENT DOWN.

That no cause or reason shall be Ipermitted to stop or interfere with ifree and unhindered transportation iof supplies and raw material; but {that economic barriers shall be re- Imoved and trade and commerce placed on a basis of equality, fairness {and non-discrimination. ! “That the freedom of the seas shall ibe guaranteed in times of peace or war, provided the act concerned is not criminal.

A proclamation. attributed by some of the Roman newspapers to the Vatican, declares that the famous building is & public church. The point was raised recently when the Roman police prohibited the dele- gates to a_convention of the Italian Catholic Young Men's Association | from congregating in_the Colosseum and holding a parade from that point to_the Vatican. The public announcement of the de- cision on this point recounts the his- tory of_ the Colosseum from early times. It states that Popes Clement X. Clement XI, Pius V, in their pon-| tificates, prohibited “further profana- tions of the holy ground sanctified by ithe blood of the martyrs.” Benedict IXIV in 1756 declared it to be a pub- lic church. From 1856 to 1870 masses have been sung regularly in the Colosseum, but {when Victor Emmanuel II took pos- | session of Rome in 1870 the practice was discontinued. i During the war the custom of hold- ing religious services in the Colos- seum was again revived. After the war a requiem mass for the soldiers who died in the great war was held there. ADMIT HANDBOOK MAKING. Harrigan and Stafford Get Finesj Jail Terms Suspended. John T. Harrigan and Harry E.

WOOD. Special Correspondent of The Star and Chicago Daily News Foreign Service. TOKIO, October 11.—"Japan, as one of the five great powers of the world and as one of the leading members of the league of nations, has virtually been intrusted with the task of main- taming the peace of the far east.” 1| This is a frequently repeated excerpt from an article written recently by Takashi Hara, premier of Japan. Though it may vary as to phraseol- the OBY, its substance is invariable official justification for of Japan's militaristic activities and will be the backbone of any explanation of Ja- pan's policy at the conference. Some, however, vary it from “Japan’s pres- :':r\mllun of peace in the far ea: to preservation of a piece In the far east for Japan.” How lurge that plece will be in China and Siberia - ference may decide.
