A. R. passed into history To Fight Narcotles. One of the last officiul acts of the congress was the adoption during the closing session of a resolution pledg- ing the society to support the gov- ernment in its campaign against il- icit traffic of dope. A spirited, but nrief debate preceded the adoption f this document when the resolutions ommittee reported out unfavorably similar resolution that had pre- iously been introduced. Refusal to act on the first resolution was due to he fact that it made reference to & campaign being conducted by a cer- ain chaln of newspapers. The rules were suspended and the new resolu- ion was introduced. confirming the society's indorsement to the govern- ment’s activities. Tt was promptly pgssed without a dissenting vote.

The Boys' World Conference is to be held in the Austrian Alps, and its| purpose will be the discussing of the place of boyhood in the life of the nations. At the close of the con- ference, Mr. Cooper will go to Ital France, Switzerland, Belgium, Ho land and the British Tsles. He will be the personal guest of Anton Verkafe, president of the Rotary Club at Am- sterdam and also of Sir Arthur Yapp. | national secretary of the Y. M. of Great Britian.

Explains Pershing’s Absanc The faflure of Gen. Pershing to ap- pesr last night was explained by Mrs, Minor yesterday afternoon. It wa sald that Gen. Pershing had never formally accepted the invitation of the soclety to address it, although those in charge of the program were under the impression that he had. As a result, the general was in an- other city at the time he should have been epeaking in Memorial Continental Hall. The outstanding reaction of the delegates toward the congress was recognition of the society's solidar- ity. In private conversation with newspaper men and women they pointed out that every organization must have its contests and opposite. sides. It would be impossible, they declared, for any gathering of in- telligent _persons to meet and never find conflicting views. The test of the society came, it was asserted, in its ability to stand by the decisions of the majority and fight for the com- mon_good which the thirty-second continental congress of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution wi garded as having done admirably. of in the next Congress by | of Congress and the | { disappoi fon of the { cane | e crop had been se- i i tused THE SUNDAY HOPE FOR TREATY WITH MEXICO HIGH Understanding Nearer as Ef- fort Is Made to Meet U.

Hope of an understanding between the United States and Mexico again has Leen revived as a result of recent exchanges centering about the pro- tection of Amerfcan lives and prop- erty on Mexican soil. A vestatement of the whole Mexi- can attitude, including an explanation of leglslative proposals to clarify the much-debated article 27 of the Mexi- can constitution has been laid before the Washington government by the Mexican embassy and apparently has been recelved as an important step toward agreement. Further discus- sions are in progress at Mexico City and a public wunouncement is ex- pected within a few days. T. S.

Mr. Fallon appeared before Justice Brandeis at his home here tonight, with Francis L. Kohlman and Carl J. the Fuller firm, and Willlam M. Chad- bourne, representing creditors of the company.
