Mayor Kendrick is known as the father of this movement, which to. day has 12 units in operation in all parts of the country.

Germany went o the polls last Sunday and elected Field Marshal von Hindenburg to be her next president. He will be Inaugurated May 12. In defeating former Chancellor Dr. Wil- helm Marx for the presidency Von Hindenburg received 14,639,399 votes, or 48 per cent of the total valld bal lots cast in the election. His victory is interpreted variously, but the ma- jorlty of opinion seems to be that the leader of Germany’s vanquished forces of the war will do nothing rash, that his election will cause little change g 'S status among the na- terized by Lloyd George 2 “extraordinarily stu- pid”, the action of the German peo- ple is regarded largely as Indicating a sentimental fondness for the griz- zled old representative of Germany's glorious past, and does not indicate a gesture toward a return of the mon- archy for which he has always stoog One of the interesting results of the election is seen in France, where, it is expected, the sentiment which al ready Is reported to exist against an other disar@unent conference is ex pected to increase. Little support for a disarmament conference m pected from France now, it out, with Hindenburg, Germany's war lord, sitting in the saddle. On the other hand, the comparatively small powers of the German president give the executive little authority to change Germyany’'s present policy In an address before the annual congress of the League for German Industry, Dro Hans Luther, the Ger- man chancellor, later in the week de- clared there would be no change in the foreign policy of Germany. While he did not mention the name of Von Hindenburg, the chancellor’s remarks were especlally significant as they fol- lowed by a day a long conference he had had with the president-elect. City planners from the Latin Ameri can countries met here last week un der the auspices of the American Civic Association and discussed the progress which has been made in dif- ferent countries of Latin America to- ward beautifying capital cities. South American and Central American prog- ress in this direction was considered especially interesting in view of the efforts of those most interested to make Washington the most beautiful capital city in the world. Fleet maneuvers in the Pacific last week were brought to a close when sailors and marines were landed at the Island of Oahu, which experts agree is the key to the Hawalian Islands The theory was that if this island| were captured, the remainder of the group would also be captured. The officfal verdict of who won the mimic battle has.not been delivered. So far, the only ones attempting to give a decision are the newspaper corres- pondents whp accompanied the fleet, and they diffqred. Some reports gave it that the bat\eships in the attack- ing fleet were “sunk” by the air- planes, while others were just as vig- orous in asserting that the airplanes were all “‘destroyed” by the battle- ships. In the meanwhile, the real naval and Army experts who served as umpires in the sham battle will go over the data and decide for them- selves the result of the mimic war- fare. Rafael Sanchez Aballi, a wealthy Cuban sugar owner, has been selected as Cuban Ambassador to the United States, and his appointment was an nounced last-week. The new Ambas- sador’s son garried a_daughter of Se- nar Machado, the Cuban president- elect. A unit composed entirely of former officers of the old imperial Russian army was mustered into the Califor- nia National Guard last week. It s the first time an entire unit composed of officers of a foreign service has ever joined a National Guard body, it is stated. The highest in rank was Lieut. Gen. Alexander Elshen, com- mander of a Russtan corps during the World War. Five colonels, seven lieu- tenant colonels and four navy lieuten- ants were among the group. Speakers at sessions here of the All-America Association for the Ad- vancement of Women—which are be- ing attended by woman delegates from Latin American countries—took the occasion last week to voice some of their “suspicions” about the so-called imperfalistic policy of the United States towagd Latin America. Both in Mexico and Brazil, two woman dele- gates declared, the United States is viewed with suspicion, for the impres- sion has somehow gained ground that the interest of the United States in Latin America is really a self-interest. The United States was defended, to some extent, by Mrs. Carrie Chap- man Catt, chairman of the confer- ence, who declared that while there are millions in this country friendly to the Latin, Americas, they are not the ones who control this country’s policies. ‘With the time for the beginning of the Citizens' Military Training Camps still three months away, 25 per cent of the estimated attendance quota of 50,000 young men between the ages of 17 and 31 have already been en- rolled, according to the War Depart- ment. This number is double the en- rollment at this time of last year, it is stated. Forty-two camps stretching across the continent from Fort McKin- Me., to the Pre8idio of California, will be opened this year to train the young men of the Nation in the art of war—with the hope that this train- ing will result in the best guarantee possible for continued peage. ‘While there are still many guesses as to when the President intends to leave Washington this Summer for a vacation in New England, his depart- ure s not expected until after June 22. A White House spokesman last week, answering questions as to when the Executive would leave, sald the President would be here for a meet- ing of the business department of the Government on June 22, und that he would not leave before then. Addressing the Yorktown Historical Association in New York, last week, the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, declared that the battle of Yorktown was not a loss, but rather a gain for Great Britain. He ex- plained that if the British had won the have been continued which would have exhausted England. As Bulgaria continues to fight against the Communists whose dem- onstrations have aroused the Balkans, another plot to slay King Boris has been nipped, according to telegraphic dispatches which - describe the iis- covery of a subterranean passageway leading almost beneath the royal pal- ace in Sofia, and an explosive fuse which it is believed was intended to destroy the palace. Trial of those who blew up the Sveti Kral cathedral with the loss of 100 lives, two weeks ago, has begun. The police are still on the lookout for plotters, some of who are belleved to be at large. With the exception of labor demon- strations which were for the most part unmarked by violence, American and European capitals passed a quiet May day.

Reviewing business conditions for the months of April and March, the Federal Reserve Board found that wholesale business has enjoyed unu- sual activity and that during the last two months has been distributing merchandise at a greater rate than at any time during 1924 . Great Britain last week restored the gold standard as a step in restor- ing her currency to its pre-war stand- ard. The change was announced to the House of Commons by Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, in outlining the year's budget. The treasury department hailed the res- toration of the gold standard as the most important step toward restoring Surope’s economic conditions since the Dawes plan. England's restoration of the gold standard will necessitate a like move on the p: of F nce, it is believed by some I'rench experts. This would mean sacrifice on the part of France, but the opinion is expressed that the time_has come when it must be at- tempted. Washington's Rent Commission goes out of existence this month, and its members are suggesting various reme- dies for an economic situation which makes it dificult for the person of mall means to find a home. One sug- gestion has been that a corporation be formed by men who are philanthropi cally inclined, which would lend money for home construction at low rates of interest. Secretary Hoover of the De partment of Commerce is one of those who is in favor of the idea, while President Coolidge has expressed his interest in the matter The effect of the new tax law, which brought about a decided reduction in income taxes, was shown last week with the publication of the first offi- clal figures on collection of income tax during the first quarter of this y - Income tax receipts were $67,- 541,369.41 less for the first qua‘r:er this year than for the last year. e Educational. With a comment which said: “Let us remember that it was the hope and desire for religious freedom that in spired the settling and founding of the United States of America,” Gov. Vic Donahey of Ohfo last week vetoed the Buchanan Bible bill, which passed make daily reading of the Bible in all public schools in the State of Ohio compulsory. The measure was ac tively supported by members of the Ku Klux Klan in both houses of the Legislature during its consideration. In the course of his veto message the governor added that “It is my bellef that religious teaching in our homes, .Sunday schools and churches by the good mothers, fathers and ministers of Ohio is far preferable to compul- sory teaching of religion by the State.” A bronze memorial bust of James Ormond Wilson, sometimes referred to as the “patron saint of the District public school system,” was unveiled with appropriate exercises at the Wil- son Normal School last week. Under Mr. Wilson's tenure of the office of superintendent of schools from 1872 to 1885 the graded schools were or. ganized and the present tem of normal schools was established under his direction. The present day need is a program of education against war that will es. tablish a world-wide understanding “'too great and too sound to be broken down by national and imperial cove tousness,” Attornev General Sargent declared in an address last week be- fore the Carnegie Institute in Pitts- burgh. “The desire for peace,” he sald, “must grow from within; enough individuals must recognize fact in place of propaganda.” Geography. Earthquake shocks were felt through the States of Ohio, Kentuck Indlana_and Illinols last - Sunda night. The only damage recorded was in~ broken dishes, shaken off the shelves in some sections.

Fossils of prehistoric animal life from 5,000,000 to 15,000,000 years old have been found in Argentina by sci- entists of the Chicago Field Museum. When the bones were buried these sclentists claim, Argentina was a “world apart.” The fossil remains are claimed to be different from any others ever found. Capt. Roald Amundsen, veteran Arctic explorer, is completing plans for his final dash to the pole, which he will attempt by airplane about the middle of Ma Airplanes equipped with skiis have been sent to Spitzber- gen and assembled for a trial flight to be made early this month. In the meanwhile the plans of Americans who are to make a dash by air for the pole this Summer un- der the joint auspices of the National Geographic Soclety and the Navy, are maturing. The Bureau of Aeronautics has announced that, should one or both of the Navy planes, in which members of MacMillan's expedition planned to fly, become lost, the dirigi- bles Shenandoah and Los Angeles will be standing by at Lakehurst, N. ready to rush north to their rescue, should it be necessary.

The new product, which goes under the trade name of “nethyncl,” resembles wood alcohol very closely and sells for about one- half as much. American manufac- turers, it is stated, are changing over their plants and taking steps to se- cure the, necessary rights for manu- facture. Arts and Letters.

By the Associated Pross NEW YORK, May 2.—Democracy rules the world, and will continue to rule it, through the middle classes, Chauncey M. Depew told his hosts at one of his ninety-first birthday anni | versary celebrations tonight The occasion was the thirty-fourth annual dinner given in the former Senator’s honor by the Montauk Club, Brooklyn, an occasion which brought the assertion from the club president, Willlam H. English, that “no other man In this, or any other country, has had his birthday celebrated in a man- ner such as this. There was a congratulatory letter from President Coolidge, written to Mr. English, in which the Chief Ex- ecutive wrote Coolidge Sends Greetings. “I hope it may be the pleasant duty of mw elf and my successors 10 go on send congratulations for the con- tinuing recurrence of this oc casion for a great many years to come. The af- fection which his multitude of friends entertalned for Senator Depew is a testimony that, after all, republics are not invariably ungrateful. My best wishes to the Senator, which he fs strictly enjoined to share equitably with Mrs. Depew." e Speaking on ‘the world at 91, Mr. Depew began with a recital of the progress of the world since the in- auguration of the Montauk Club birth- day dinners, since which “one year beyond a third of century has passed Benjamin Harrison was President of the United States then, he reminded his hearers. He rehearsed briefly the histories of the men who followed. Cleveland, “the lovable McKinley, then “that human dynamo, Roose- velt”; Taft, Woodrow Wilson, who when he went abroad during the World War “had more power in world affairs than any man ever possessed’; Harding, “prince of good fellows,” and now Coolidge, whose “policies of thrift and of economy and of debt reduction for lowering the burden of taxes must become, not the policies of any party, but the popular principles of economic coess.” U In contrast, he reviewed the happen- ings in the Old World in the same period, tracing the careers of the now fallen houses of Hapsburg, Hohen- zollern and Romanoff. “The whole world,” he 4 now under the domination and ontrol. in one way or another. of a democratic spirit.

To what he termed a series of “‘spe- cial providences” he attributed a suc- ssion of inventions and industrial developments which met the demands of an ever-growing population, making this “not the same world at all, in an economic sense, as the one to which T was born 91 years ago.’ He re: viewed, succinctly progress of material and industrial development in this country within the span of his lifetime, enumerating the factors that have brought the Nation to world-wide leadership. The coumtry’s conspicu- ously successful men, the nonagene- rian said, have owed their success pri- marily to their faith in the country.

Vice President Dawes, who has gained at least one recruit’ from the ranks of the Senate in his fight to change the rules of that body, has also been collecting some enemies. While Senator Butler of Massachu- setts has joined the Vice President in eclaring that the rules of the Senate should be changed to prevent an or- ganized minority from holding up business of interest to the majority, Senator Moses of New Hampshire and Senator Fess of Ohlo told newspaper correspondents last week they doubt- ed if the Vice President’s plans would bear fruit. The views of Senator Moses are interesting, because he is a member of the rules committee of the Senate, and, in addition, is president pro tem. of that body. *“Our vhles do ! not prevent the passage of legisla- tion which the people really want,” said Senator Moses.

Woman Counsel Wins Clemency For Negro Slayer Mrs. Pearl B.

Brooks had been charged with murder in the second degree, but the jury reported a verdict of manslaughter and took occasion to request that the chief justice impose the maximum sentence for that degree of homicide, which is 15 years’ imprisonment. After Mrs. Klein had invoked the clem- ency of the court, poiuting out the extenuating circumstance that no deadly weapon was used, but that Brooks had struck John Yates with a brick November 11 last and that death resulted. the chief justice sent Brooks to- the peniten- tiary for 10 years.
