It would be tmpolitic to initiate any task of far- reaching ramifications, but it fs an ausplicious occaslon for changes or im- provements that will lead to greater efficiency, either in the home or busi- ness. It is also a good opportunity for renewed interest in the ordinary affairs of life, as the signs denote that, with proper deliberation and thought, many small difficulties can be over come and differences adjusted. Judged generally, it 1s a day that had better be spent in reflective adjustment than in active endeavor. Children born tomorrow will, if boys, enjoy during their early years excep- tionally good health, and the indica- tions are that they will attain a healthy and vigorous manhood. Girls, however, will not be so fortunate; but, although they are fated to suffer from some serious ailments in their child. hood, there will be nothing, except lack of care, to prevent thelr reaching Pphysical normalcy in their teens. In character and disposition, both girls and boys wiil be very similar.

If tomorrow is your birthday, you are very easygoing and will put up with a great deal before you turn. You will always make sacrifices for the sake of peace and contentment, but when your limit is reached you show not only ability, but strength of character in asserting what you con. ceive to be your rights. People often mistake your usually apathetic attitude for weakness, and many, as a result of thelr mistaken judgment, unashamedly try to “put it over on you.” They sooner or later learn their error and always regret it. You are a very loyal friend, al- though of real friends you have but few. This condition is brought about by your own reserve and your natural Inablility to become a ‘“mixer.” Your home life is very happy, and animated by an atmosphere of consideration for ail. ‘Well known persons born on this date are Harris M.

(Copyright. 1925.) s Italy Offers American Music Students Best American musiclans who need in- spiration for their art are being of- fered the choice spots in Europe. Fol- lowing the establishment of the musi- cal conservatory at Fontainebleau, the Itallan government has invited Ameri- can music students to work in one of the most magnificent spots Italy pos- sesses, the Villa d’Este in Tivoli, near Rome. The first Summer course of this conservatory recently closed with a concert and tea, at which the Amer- ican ambassador and representatives of the Itallan government were pres- ent. In the classic villa, overlooking the most elaborate of Itallan gardens, and hundreds of feet above the Roman plain, with .the dome of St. Peter's gleaming in the distance, the students sang and played for the guests. The teachers are among the best in Italy. ‘The tuition is low and the living ex- penses come to no more than $50 a month. Such Summer courses, though they are too short for much solid tech- nical progress, are said to have a mel- lowing and broadening influence on the young musiclans, in placing them in contact with new personalities and new environment. - The first woman to appear in prac- tice before the Supreme Court of the United States was the late Marilla M. Ricker, the famous woman lawyer of Dover, N. H., of whom Robert Inger- soll said that had she been a man she would haye become Chief Justice of the United States. Increased Interest In U. S.

(5) “That the United States shall not be bound by advisory opinions which may be fendered by the court upon questions which the United States has not voluntarily submitted for its judgment The “Willls resolution -provides that the signature of the United States shall not be affixed until the powers signatory to the protocol shall have indicated, through an ex- change of notes, their acceptance of these reservaptons and understand- ings as a part and as a condition of adhesion by the United States to the protocol. Democrats Favor Joining. Senator Woodbridge N. Ferry, Democrat, of Michigan, believes that “by all means” the United States should join the World Court. “The President now has a golden oppor- tunity,” he says, “to prove himself « leader. The majority of the Demo- crats will co-operate with him in his effort to have the United States join the World Court. If he can organize the Republicans and lead them, then his wish so far as the World Court is concerned can be fulfilled.” » Recognized as a leader of the liberal wing of the Republican party, we will now quote Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who also belleves that the World Court {ssue should be disposed of. “I have at no time made a secret of my opinion that the Washington Government should become a member of the International Court of Justice,” says Senator Capper, “if such mem- bership could be attained under terms lh'd!‘ kept us free from the League of Natfons. visit to The Hague a few continued Senator Cap- fter talks with members of the court and its officials, after my ob- servation of affalrs at large in Europe —that opinlon has become a firm con- viction. Evidence is overwhelming that if the structure of civilization {s to endure, justice and not gunpowder must be the bond that holds it to- gether. Is a Court of Justice. “The Court of International Justice that functions at the Peace Palace is a court of justice and not a court of arbitration.” Senator Capper points out. “It is distinct from The Hague Court of Arbitration. This institution, in existence since 1899, also holds its sessions in the Peace Palace. It func tions between individuals,” Senator misunderstanding are submitted to it, the partles having agreed in advance to be bound by Its findings. “In international affairs, tions between individual Senator Capper explains, “arbitration s one thing and the processes of justice an- other. Arbitration is compromise, Ar- bitraton {n one case does not establish a rule or precedent for arbitration in another. The court of justice, on the other hand, has fixed rules of pro- cedure, and fixed principles of law as bases for its judgments. “The distinction I have pointed out does not mean that the World Court may not act as a court of arbitration. Parties to a dispute, mutually agreed to arbitrate their differences, may sub- mit the case to the court. But the disputants must submit it under the rules established by the court and with full knowledge that the judg- ment of the court is to be rendered according to law and to principles of justice, and by judges—members of the court—chosen, not according to nationality, but because of their known integrity and recognized eminence as jurists and authorities in international law and relationships. “A distinguished American, John Bassett Moore, recognized the world over as an authority in international law, was elected to the bench of the World Court even though this coun- try was not, and is not yet, a member of that tribunal,”” Senator Capper em- phasized. Mutual Agreement Necessary. “The purposes of the World Court are broader than mere arbitration. Although arbitration is a long step toward civilized relationships between nations, it solves only the immedlate case in hand. It can function only by mutual agreement of disputants, It has not established in the world a con- sclence that the rights of nations, as well as those of individuals, should be under the strong protection of the aegis of justice. Therefore, the Court of International Justice—the World Court—was called into existence; a tri- ‘bunal to function under and to inter- pret and to mete out justice accord- ing to international law. “Such purposes are in harmony with American tradition. Now that there 1s a definite agency established among the nations for the fostering s in rela- British Admira] Bared German Plot To Persuade Mexico to Invade U. S. (Continued from Third Page.) ities may possibly have seemed, at the time, an act savoring of the magnani- mous; the fact, however, that the British possessed the German cipher and read all these messages as they sped through England creates the suspicion that they may have regard- ed this as & way of obtaining valuable information. “From the American standpoint, however, the proceeding was without precedent. Ambassador Gerard, of course, is not subject to criticlsm, as he merely carrled out the explicit orders of his Government. But it is a well established principle that no government, especially in war time, ever transmits the dispatches or offi- clal documents of another without knowing what they are. No govern- ment ever makes such a request with- out submitting the contents of such official papers. Had the usual pro- cedure been adopted, Germany would have handed its messages to the Amer- fcan embassy in Berlin, which would have enciphered them into the Amer- ican code and transmitted them to ‘Washington.” Mr. Hendrick relates the steps tak- en by President Wilson to obtain ab- solute proof of the authenticity of this Zimmermann telegram as reported of the telegram was obtained in Wash- ington and sent to London, where]|Sought the Japanese Minister in Mexi- Edward Bell, secretary of embassy, decoded it with the ald of the Ger- man code loaned by the British. The first publication of thé telegram came through the Assoclated Press, and its authenticity was vouched for by the State Department after the Senate. at the instance of Senator Lodge, had adopted a resolution asking if the Zimmerman telegram as reported was a fact. The German-American press claimed It was a fraud. But the next day the German foreign secre- Zimmermann admitted the com- munication was official, and undertook to_explain it. But another dispatch from Zimmer- mann to Eckhardt under date of Feb- ruary 11, 1917, intercepted in 'the same way, shows that the instructions were to broach the proposed alliance to Mexico without delay. It said: “Zimmermann_ to Eckhardt. “To Mexico. “No. 11. ‘‘§th Feb. 1917. “In continuation of No. 1. “ ‘Most secret. Decipher personally. Pravided. there"la o danger of secrot ’ STAR, “WASHINGTON, Being Shown to the World Court of these purposes, our logical dect- sion should be to rally to its support, just as it was our logical decislon to refrain from political alllances and commitments involved in the League of Nations. “Our adherence to the World Court, under the terms of the Hard- ing-Hughes-Coolldge reservations, in my opinion, would amply safeguard every American right and interest. “The reservations keep us out of the League of Natlons, yet they open an avenue for our approach to a concert of action with the en- lightened nations of the world to- ward fostering principles of justice and equity, the foupdations of endur- ing peace. We should not hesitate to take that course. “From my observations hers, I am quite sure no objection will be made to accepting the United States as a member of the Peace Court on terms that amply safeguard every legitl- mate national interest.” Would Follow Leaders. A new member of Congress— | Reprecentative Charles E. Kiefner, Republican, from the thirteenth Mis- sourt district, with his ear close to the “voice of the people.” says: “I believe we should be gulded by the Judgment of the President and other great party leaders in matters of this kind. They advocate the en- trance of the United States Into a World Court, and we indulge in sophistry when we attempt to justify our faflure to enter.” Then, if you want to get an op- posite view, call as witness the flery new Democratic Senator from South Carolina, Renator Cole L. Blease, of hectic political record, who, when asked “Should the United States join the World Court dramatically never!” Representative Roy G. Fitzgerald, Republiciin, of Ohio, a lawyer and a World War veteran, says: “Yes,” and with emphasis. Representative Francis F. Patter- son, Republican, of New Jersey, for years trained in feeling out the pub- lic sentiment as owner and general manager of a large daily newspaper, whose ancestors have lived in New Jersey for 250 years, tells us: “The United States should join a World Court under the }imitations set down by Presidents Harding and Coolidge. Another new member of the House, after a careful canvas of the sentl- ment in his district—W. T. Fitz gerald, from the fourth Ohio district ~—says: “The United States should join the World Court ‘under certain provisions.’ " ‘What Democrats Think. let's question some scattered Democrats. Representative W. B. Bowling from the fifth district of Alabama, a real “Southern Demo- crat,” answers: es, the. United States should join the World Court, with a clear provision recognizing the right of withdrawal at any time, for any reason that commends itself to our Government, and without ‘more than nominal notice.” Representative Anning §. Prall, eleventh New York district, say “Through a World Court, or what- ever it may be, Congress ought to do something to forever prevent the hor- rors of war Senator Kenneth McKellar of Ten- nessee believes that “by all means the United States should join the World Court.” Senator Morris Sheppard of Texas also replies affirmatively, “‘Yes.” Representative John Tillman, from the third district of Arkansas, with a degree of doctor of laws from two universities and having been president of the University of Arkan- sas for seven years, and with 10 years of experlence In Congress, unhesitat- ingly declares that “the United States should join the World Court. War is a crime, and the half billion Christians in the world should unite with all those who profess to love peace to limit in every way possible the chance for further wars.” Representative Elmer Thomas, from the sixth Oklahoma district, says: “Yes, the United States should join the World Court.” Other Republican Views. Representative James T. Begg of Ohio, known as “the right-hand man" of the new House leader, Representa- tive Nicholas Longworth, gives this reply! “The ills of the world will not be cured by the entrance of the United States into a World Court, and I am not at all sure that the posi- tlon of this country would be en- hanced thereby. It is an experiment in a theory, with no power to enforce its decrees, to say the least. Representative Charles E. Fuller of the twelfth Illinois district, who has been elected to public office by direct vote of the people 18 times, and who, therefore, can be considered as re- flecting pretty accurately their wishes, =a) am for the World Court if it can be divorced absolutely from the League of Nations, but I do not like to see this country entangled with Euro- pean countries to any extent.” Now being betraved to U. 8. A. you are desired without further delay to broach the question of an alllance to the President. The definite con- clusion of an alliance, however, is dependent on outbreak of war between Germany and U. S. A. The President (President Carranza of Mexico) might even now, on his own account, sound Japan. Promised Protection. ‘It the President declines from fear of subsequent revenge, you are em- powered to offer him a definitive alll- ance after conclusion of peace, pro- vided Mexico succeeds in drawing Japan into the alliance. “ZIMMERMANN.” Mr. Hendrick continues: “‘On March 1st Washington publish- ed the original Zimmerman telegram, but the great sensation which this caused apparently did not interfere with the negotiations. On the very next day, when the world was ringing with denuncations of German duplicity Von Eckhardt reported the result of his activities up to that time. His message reveals the fact, which was generally suspected, that the Mexican government was not at all disinclined to the proposed alllance. At least, as Eckhardt says, it ‘willingly took the matter into consideration’ and at once co, discussing it with him for ‘an hour and a half.’” “Eckhardt to Zimmermann. “From: Mexico No. 9, ‘To: Berlin March 2, 1917. ‘Reply to Telegram 15, par. 2. “A visit to the President at Quere- taro was inopportune, so I took the opportunity of a short visit here of the Minister of Forelgn Affairs on the 20th February of sounding him. He willingly took the matter into con- sideration, and thereupon had a con- versation, which lasted an hour and a half, with Japanese Minister, the tenor of which is unknown to me. He subsequently ‘went away to see the President where he was staying at the time. Made Open Denial. ‘‘‘Yesterday after the publication by the Universal. I telepraphed to him in clear to give him a line, that D. 0, NOVEMBER T, Minister in Mexico should discuss the proposal with the Mexican Minister of Forelgn Affairs and President Car- ranza. It was indeed, an act of friend- ship to the United States. His pur- pose in talking the thing over was merely to obtain information of the plot. As soon as the message was published, indeed, the Japanese gov- ernment repudiated the schemes Ger- many was concocting without fits knowledge. 1In his first dispatch to ‘Washington Page sald that the Jap- anese government would probably make a statement, and this statement was not long delayed. *“The government is confident,’ sald the Japanese Foreign Office, ‘that the peoples and governments of the en- tente will continue to have confidence in Japan’s loyalty and its determina- tlan to extend all possible ald and share the difficulties and hardships until the struggle against Germany and cruelties ends.’ Other dispatches from Zimmermann to Eckhart and from the latter to Zimmermann indicate that the negoti- ations with Carranza continued, al- though Carranza said that the prema- ture publication of the alliance had interferred with its immediate under- taking. Germans Astounded. The publication of the Zimmermann telegram astounded the Americans and the British, but more particularly the Germans themselves. The Amer- icans were paid the compliment of intercepting it. Mr. Hendrick, how- ever, gives credit to the man who actually did this remarkable piece of work. He says: “Who was mainly responsible for uncovering the Zimmermann tele- gram? The work was done by the intelligence service of the British admiralty. The head of that depart- ment was Admiral Willlam Reginald Hall, a man not widely known in the United States. but one to whom this country has every reason for profound gratitude. The part that Admiral Hall played in the war is vividly told by Page In a letter to the President: To the Presidert. London, March 17, 1918. “ ‘Dear Mr. Presiden . Hall Is one genius that the war has developed. Nelther in fiction nor in fact can you find any such man to match him. Of the wonderful things that I know he has done, there are several that it would take an excit- ing volume to tell. The man is a genius—a clear case of genius. All other secret service men are amateurs by comparison.

Yours heartily, “‘WALTER H. PAGE. “For his great achievements, Ad- miral Hall was made a knight com- mander of St. Michael and St. George, and Mr. Page wrote him a letter con- veving to him the personal thanks of President Wilson. In his letter to Admiral Hall, Mr, Page said: “‘And now I have the additional pleasure, under the instruction sent me directly by the President, to con- vey his personal thanks to you. I quote from his letter: ““*“You will at an early time take some private occasion to assure Ad- miral Hall of my very great appreci- ation of what he has done and of the spirit in which he has done if Z ment on account of the war loans. But the larger problem is not the measures taken by any individual country, but the collective action of our common debtors. New Europe United. Europe, having faled to persuade us to cancel the war debts, is now, just as surely as the sun rises, going to undertake to make us pay them by means of common economic policies and combined economic effopts. All combination was impossible while France was looking with fear at the Rhine and Germany with passion at the Ruhr. While the security issue was unsettled the question of business could and had to wait. As long as Ger- man and French statesmen could not talk together as equals, and the Ger- man and French people looked with passionate hatred at each other, the Lorraine fron and the Ruhr coal could not be remarried. In all this time Europe not only re- mained in chaos, but it went more and more heavily into debt to the United States, into debt which was in the main unprofitable, for the receipts of loans were wasted, were applied to destructive or only merely palliative ends. A divided Europe could not func- tion, it could only exist, and even the e:lslence ‘was precarious and miser- able. But this new Europe, or this older Europe, which emerges from Locarno must have a common conception. For 11 years it has wasted its substance and mortgaged its future in a terrific and economically futile conflict. Not only is its wealth scattered, its power limited, its resources wasted, but now it returns to sanity to find that it lies under the burden, the staggering bur- den, of an American debt. To the Brit- ish, French, Italian and German peo- ple the same insistent American de- mand for payment comes. No Euro- pean nation Is now to pay tribute to another because of war destructions, no European nation is to derive profi or even obtain compensation for its losses at the hands of another. On the contrary, all are called upon to pay, and all that is paid inevitably finds its way to American shor Britain says to France, “I would cancel your debts to me if only Amer- fea would cancel mine to her.” She says the same to Italy, to Belgium. France, Belgium, Britain and Italy say to Germany, “You must pay repa rations to us, but we get none of it; it all goes to America, and as far &s v are concerned we would gladly wipe out all payments but for the Amerl can insistence.” But in addition to all that Germany pays, America asks something considerable from each of the reparations creditors of Germany. Britain Has Not Collected. Britain, which is now paying us $151,000,000 annually, has so far col- lected not a dollar on_her foans to her allies, and every British states- man tells his constituents that it is this expense that keeps taxes high, and it s high taxes which cripple British industry and explain British unemployment.” It is America who s held responsible in France, because bankruptcy is in sight and the franc continues to fall. It is our insistence upon payments which to all French men seem exc ive that to their minds prevents stabilization and per- haps promotes ruin. Before Loearno this general resent ment was still compartmented. The British felt it, the French felt it, the Italians felt it, but the former aliles were divided by endless disputes. The German, moreover, had not yet felt it, because he still conceived that he was to pay ransom to France and Britain and not to the United States. But now he will be brought to see that France and Italy and Britain are, like himself, paying ransom to the’ United States, that though many hands touch his reparations pay ments, all in the end arrives in the capacious palm of Uncle Sam. Thus it seems to me that Locarno must have for Americans a very grave significance. We have been dealing with a distracted and divided rope incapable of collective thought or action. Now we are brought face to face with a uniting Europe, hav- ing, so far as we are concerned, sub stantially the same unfortunate posi- tion and having toward us approxi- mately identical resentful feelings We are the universal creditor in the ‘ace of the debtors.

But what is es- | sential now is to appreciate the fact of it and the fact that after Locarno we must expect to face a different | Europe, a Europe no longer made up of nations having individual hopes of American aid and therefore shap- i course by this hope, but a having nothing to hope, far individual nations are co rned, and having a common ob tion laid on Europe CASH OR CREDIT The Price Is the Same Just Arrived—a Wonder Shipment of NEW FALL AND WINTER OATS AND DRESSES When you see them you'll be surprised A fortunate purchase—'way underpriced.
