To these criticisms the French. as protago- nists of the league plan, reply that disarmament is the real reason for existence of the league, and that the problem must be dealt with by the league, which, moreover, has the ad- vantage of being & permanent or- ganization. They say that there can never be real disarmament without corre- sponding guarantees, and that these guarantees must be formally estab- lished in advance as a warning to a possible aggreszor, who will be re- strained thereby from aggression. They contend that outlawing war without an agreement to make com- mon cause against an aggressor is a wholly illusory proceeding, and that, as far as they are concerned, the adoption of thix or a similar mutual aid treaty would permit an almost \yimediate reduction of armaments. ¢.

Reinforcements from the Asiatic naval squadrons of the United States, Great Britain, France and Japan have been ordered to Shanghai to protect their nationals during the clash be- tween the rival tuchuns of the adjoin- ing provinces of Chekiang and Kiangsu. The vast harbor of Shanghai is oc- cupied by _the ships of many nations, and Dr. Wellington Koo, the Peking foreign minister, after being told that every means possible would be em- ployed to protect the various nationals, was advised further by the diplomatic agents of the four powers, acting t gether, that a naval battle in those waters “could not be tolerated.” Officials here familiar with the situa- tion involving Shanghai have expressed fear that a conflict between the forces of the rival military governors might lead to general warfare in China, de- spite that the chief bone of contention appears to be control over the office of defense commissioner of Shanghai, now held by Gen.

He empha- sized the importance of the declara- tion for adherence to the World Court of Justice made by Secretary of State Hughes and indicated to the dele- gates and other auditors his impres- sion that the entire force of the United States would inevitably be cast in support of any reasonable ar- bitration development as a means of preserving peace. A tribute to the notable progress achieved by the league was paid by the Persian prince, Arfaad Doyle, who appeared on the platform wear- ing a’picturesque black fez. Last year, he sald, Persia had expressed her doubts about the usefulness or the league, but now, he added, all the mists had been dissipated and no one could fail to see that the league was moving onward to achievements helpful to mankind. The Persian prince remarked that the presence here today of the Brit- ish and French premiers was indis- putable proof that the league had come to stay. Sees Interest Growing. Sir James Arthur Salter, who has resumed his duties as director of the economic and financial section of the league, aserted today that he had be- come convinced on a recent trip to the United Stataes that interest in the league was increasing in all sec- tions of the American nation. A manifestation of American Jap- anese friendship, purposely arranged in the hope of removing any Japanese doubts concerning the sincere amity entertained by Americans for the Japanese, despite American immigra- tion legislation, took place today ‘in the form of a luncheon offered by officials of the League of Nations m-partisan Association of the United ate: to officials of the League of Nations Union of Japan. The entire Japanese delegation to the leasue, | headed by Viscount Ishii, was present. CAPT. FRED CiflleP DEAD. Capt. Fred W.

' TIGERT RAPS SCHOOL |COOLIDGE LEADING SYSTEM OF DISTRICT U. S. Commissioner of Education Says Washington Has About Poorest of Large Cities. While telling of education as an es- sential to community welfare, United States Commissioner of Education John J. Tigert yesterday declared that the city of Washington has about the poor- est schools of any large city in the country. He was speaking before the Wapiya Club at a luncheon in the Uni- versity Club. : | “Business prosperity and advance- ment in a community are corollary to adequate educational - facilities,” said Commissioner Tigert. He cited where eertain which had been back- and financial progress, had advanced at great speed following the providing for an adequate educa- tional system. He told also of the greater amount of education demanded today for the professional man. In some parts of the country in the old days, he said, it mattered not so much whether or not a lawyer knew much law so long as he knew his jury—under which situation he could sway them. Likewise, he said, in| some of the rural districts, particular-, 1y, all that was necessary in order for a man to practice medicine was for him “to grow a beard a little longer than the average person, to do a little talking to his patients and give them ‘a cure all' pill.” Today, he continued, it is demanded of the| professional man that he be highly trained. | In conclusion he emphasized the unwillingness on the part of many people to see adeqdate sums of 1 spent on educati, “More money spent on cigarettes than is spent for school: Women spend more money on etics than is spent for he said. He then illustrated where communities with an abund- ance of raw materials had failed to prosper, due to the lack of knowledge of how to utilize those materials. It might be worth while for some of those who are greatly excited about the general manner of living on Mars to see America first. v ELECTORAL RACE (Continued from First Page.) 5 La Follette and Wheeler. The G. O. P. vote accounted for 64 per cent of the total poll; the Democrats got 20 per cent, and the Progressives 16 per cent. President Coolidge carried the first cabin with 212 votes, to 61 for Davis and 17 for La Follette. He also won the secénd cabin, with 116 vetes, as against 41 for Davis and 45 for La Follette. La Follette carried the third cabin, with 20 votes, as against 14 for Coolidge and 8 for Davis. The resujt revealed a mumber of telltale things. La Follette ran ahead of Davis in both the second and third cabins. Coolidge had a majority of 150 votes over his two rivals combined.
