PROPOSAL GIVES EQUAL RIGHTS TO THIS COUNTRY Senator Says There Is Growing Sentiment for World Court, With- out League Connection. BY J. RUSSELL YOU Staft Correspondent of The Star. SUMMER WHITE HOUSE, SWAMPSCOTT, Mass.. August 1.— A compromise resolution, placing the United States in the Permanent Court | )t International Justice on stipulated terms acceptable to the 48 present members of the court, will be adopted Ly the Senate when it next meets, sccording to the belfef expressed this afternoon by Senator Pepper of Penn- sylvania who is a week-end guest at White Court. Senator Pepper a member of the| foreign relations committee of the| Senate and the first member of that committee to confer with the Pre: dent since he left Washington for the Summer, contends that this compro- mise resolution, while not tending to divorce the 48 signatories from, the League of Nations, would stipulate very clearly that the United States would not be subject to the liabilities of the league by becoming a member of the world court. Reservations are Set Out. Still_another condition which Sen- ator Pepper expects will make this resolution popular and will win sup- porters in_ the Senate is one that provides _distinctly that the court should adopt & statute which would assure acceptance of the first men- tioned stipulation and three others, one that this nation may elect its own judge; that it have the same vote as any other member nation, and that there should be far-reaching pro- visions as. to the advisory opinions handed down by the permanent court. Senator Pepper is anxious to see| the divergent views In.the Senate regarding the United States entering the court, composed.

FIRST T4INGH RIFLE WILL G0 T0 PAGIFIC Largest Movable Gun to Be Sent to Open Coast Defense Project. By the Assoclated Press. The long-delayed project of strength- ening Pacific coast defenses by plac- ing a number of the most modern long-range rifles at selected positions is approaching actual execution. The War Department is concluding arrangements by which one of the post-war: 14-inch Coast Artillery mod- els, mounted on a rallway carriage, will be sent at an early date to a base in the Los Angeles coast defense dis- trict, probably in the vicinity of San Pedro. Other big guns are expected to be moved gradually to west coast points. X The rifle and carriage destined for the San Pedro vicinity now is at the Army ordnance base at -Aberdeen, Md.

Kuhn was re- tired from the Army service at the Presideo today with the rank of major general. He was in the Army more than 40 years. In 1906 he was military observer in Germany, being credited in Army circles with being the one who “kidded the kalser,” that the German army could lick the world. Gen.

It will be remembered that in January, 1921, Senator Clark generous- ly donated to the Corcoran Gallery the sum of $100,000, the income of which was to be used for the per- petuating of the Willlam A.
