WAR SPIRIT ALIVE INGERMAN HEARTS Existence of War Material Inconsequential Compared | With Will to Fight._ HATE IS VOICED DAILY Troposed Weapon Search Foolish in View of Conditions. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. B Cable to The Sta=. BERLIN, July 5.—Militarism and anti-semitism have been the chief topics of the week. The number of veople is small, especially in Amer- ica, who have time or inclination to examine the details of the notes which have passed between the am- bassadors’ conference and Berlin. The weapon search has become al- most ridiculous in Germany on ac- of the long delay. It is im- sible for the most experienced technicist to say how and in what degree German industrialists could change their factories to produce weapons and munitions of war. It matters little whether a few dozen cannon of almost venerable age or a few thousand guns of 1916 are brought to light in comparison with e question whether a bellicose spirit still _exists in millions of healthy Germans which the most vigilant and the most t control couid not uproot and h history Droves everywhere from Sparta to I’russia always leaves the possibility ©f arming and attempting war. Daily Hatred Speeches. Disavowal of such a spirit will not convince those who are threatened. In centradiction of the goverpment denial, wanting to make believe that nine-tenths of the secret organiza- tions in Germany are only harmless % and sport associations, are ¥ reports of revenge and hatred speeches and pictures published weekly of parades and inspections The writer has before him two re- eent pictures. One shows a knight- ing ceremony of the Order of St. John in P Chu under the pationage Grand Master Hindenburg., The v ceful thing about it Is the church’s name. Besides the field mar- shal, whose uniform is covered with crosses. stars and decorations of all kinds, in walks the former emperor's =on Oscar, also red-cloaked and wear- ing a gala uniform. The two are followed by a brilliant procession of other “knights” from the army and navy.

PRINCE OF WALES FINDS HEALTH IN DAILY APPLE Heir to British Throne Retains Habit of School Days and Keeps Healthy. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 5.—Those who dote on the doings of royalty may be in- terested to know that the Prince of Wales is one of those estimable per- sons who eats an apple a day, hav- ing started the practice at college, according to the newspaper. Once when Queen Mary went up to Oxford to see how her son was getting on, she looked over his “battles,” which is Oxford for board bill, and found an unidentfied item of one penny daily. When the queen, who is a reputedly economical housekeeper, asked” what the money was spent for, she was told it was for the prince’s daily apple. The story may or may not be true, but the heir to the throne certainly enjoys the proverbial health attrib- uted to those who eat their daily apple. Despite heavy programs of public events for days on end for which changes in clothes and uni- forms alone would sicken _an ordinary mortal, the British heir never seems to weaken and is never ill. In fact, except when he falls off his horse in some breakneck race, the Prince of Wales scems eminently successful in keeping the doctor away from St. James Palace.

It is impossible, the writer says, to speak about the preparedness of the fleet unless it has had practical ex- perience with such cruising. At pres- ent, the Soviet fleet is manned by oung factory workers, and he ex- pressed the belief that more than half the crew would be put out of action through seasickness in their first acquaintance with wind and waves.

HERRIOT ON DEFENSIVE British Prime Minister Puts French Premier in Position of Backing Plan or Losing Out. BY WILLIAM BIRD. By Cable to The Star. PARIS, July 5.—If Ramsay Mac- Donald wants to have the honor of outliving Idouard Herriot as premier he has begun well. He has placed his French colleague in an almost inex- tricably difficult tuation, and there are unmistakable signs that M. Her- riot’s parliamentary majority is al- ready crumbling away. Indeed it is the impression of many careful observers here that but for the urgency which all nations feel of getting action on the Dawes re- port at the earliest possible oppor- tunity. M. Herriot would be upset im- mediately and the London conference would be postponed. Whether because M.

It appears that M.

France Faces Choice. Put very badly, France will have to choose between Pax Britannica and no_peace at all. | The crux of the whole question lies in who is to sit as Germany's judge henceforth and decide whether or not he has kept her reparations en- gagements. Heretofore this question | ha been decided by the reparations commission, in _which France support of Belgium = and the | fact that the president, who is a| Frenchman. has been casting a vote as a French delegate.

France would like to continue this system, which would enable her to take punitive measures at any time in the future that Germany, in France's opinion, was not keeping her promises. But Mr. MacDonald wants to shear the reparations com- mittee of this power and place the decision in the hands of a body such The Hague international court, in h France would not control the majority and @ ain could alw fluence to prevent punitive measures. Mr. MacDonald. by his note to the other powers, indicates that M. Her- riott has agreed to such a schem but Herriot stoutly denies it. It is certain. however, that this will be the principal point of friction at the London conference. There is always much criticism of M. Herriot for his acquiescence in keeping his rvecent talk with Mr. MacDonald confidential. This pro- cedure has enabled Mr. MacDonald to get his interpretation of the dec ons reached in the talk to various Eu- ropeans and American foreign offices first. whereas if M.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, July 5.—Napoleon Bona- parte's silver gift tea service, con- sisting of 1,618 pieces, which he pre- sented to his sister, Pauline Borghese, will be exhibited this summer by the Chicago Art Institute. It is a part of the collection of Mrs. Edith Rocke- feller McCormick, who has lent it for exhibition purposes for the first time. The set was made by the Imperial jeweler, M. G. Biennals, after designs by Percier, who was a leading Pari- sian designer and architect of the period 1800-1806, its owner says. It bears the coat of arms of the Bor- ghese family. Institute officials declare the Roman influence Is strongly marked in the service, as under the first empire Na- poleon adhered to the classic_style. Although the classic style in France was originally revived by Louis XVII through the discoveries made in Pom- peii, under Napoleon's rule the style was carried to the extremes and de- signs of ornate embellishments ap- peared, which was in keeping with the aspirants of the first empire. JAPANESE ADD TROOPS. Strengthen Garrison in Korea to Balk Insurgents. TOKIO, July 5.-—Increase of the Japanese garrison in Korea from two divisions to three is under considera- tion by the high authorities of the army, according to the vernacular press. The reinforcement, it is understood, is contemplated as a result of recom- mendations of Admiral Baron Minoru Saito, governor general of Korea, who as represented conditons in-the pen- insula ax demanding increase of Japanese military strength. Diffi- culties of atrolling the northern border of Korca against incursions by insurgent Koreans or Chinese bandits and the topographical handicaps under which the garrison works, are given a8 reasons for the requested increase. —_— Square Coins in Spain Soon.
