And they point to the increas ing number of men who are throwing down the gauntlet to the “drys” by announcing thelr candidacy for office on @ straight out “wet” plank The “wet" leaders in the House ount 172 members who the would vote for a modification of the Volstead act. The estimate made b the drys, however, gives the modif cationfsts far less strength. A phrase has been coined by the which they apply in distinguishing between members of the House— “those who are politically wet.” The mean that members so designated ar willing to vote “wet” a5 well as drink “wet.” They also have a phrase— “those who are politically dry,” in- tending to designate men who vote “dry” but do not practice strict pro- hibition themselves. Lively Fight Promised. If Mr. Vare unnounces his candi- L “wet” platform agninst Sen ator Pepper, there promises to be a lively fight in Pennsylvania, Politi- cal cbservers say that the vote of the entire State would show a slight ma- jority for the ‘“dr; But if Mr. Vare goes into the race, he is likel to have two dry candidates dividing the opposition, Gov. Pinchot, who ia the “dry” leader of the State, and Senator Pepper. But there is co erable doubt as to whether Mr, Var or Gov. Pinchot would be the greater beneficiary by such a three-cornered race. It may well be that Gov. Pin- chot would gain because of the split in the ranks, which have uniformly opposed him, between Senator Pepper and Mr. Vare. Senator Pepper has the support of the Mellons and tke da antl-Pinchot, and Mr. Vare will have the wet element, which has always been violently opposed to the gov In sists, some quarters the however, that Mr. going through with his for the Senate; that will be made by the politi which will give him what he wants and he will step aside and leave the field open to Senator Pepper.

Pinchot and Vare Watching. Senator Pepper is the only one of the three who has actually annognced for the senatorial nomination. “Gov. Pinchot and Mr. Vare both seem to be watching the other's movements und jockeying for position. If Mr. Vare announces, the supporters of the governor will hold that he has a better chance to win the nomination. It ‘seems doubtful that Mr. Vare would announce himself a candidate it the governor does not enter the . though he might if he does not get what he wants in the meantime, In a duel petween Senator Pepper and the governor prediction 1§ gener. ally made that the victor would be Senator Pepper. The time has not been long past when New Jersey was the only State in which candidates with a real hope of elcction in State-wide contest ran only on a “wet" platform. New Jersey has two “wet” senators today, S ators Edge, Republican, and Edwards Democrat. It has a “wet" governor.

Ignores Second Note, Turkey also has ignored this com- munication. Officlals in Geneva afe wondering whether this situation does not indicate that a common policy has been reached by Moscow, Peking and Angora calculated to ‘weaken the league's prestige in the Far East and the Near at the very moment when Germany is making effective her chofce of membership in _the league rather than alllance with Rus- against the league. On the eve of the gathering of the statesmen here, three solutions of the sis over enlargement of the council are mentioned. The first, using M. Briand's knation as an excuse, would postpone the reconstruction of the council until the September meet- ing of the assembly. The second would elect Poland to an additionally created non-permanent seat to offset the increase in permanent seats through the election of Germany. The third would elect both Germany and Spain to permahent séats and to give Poland a non-permanent seat. Sees No Real Effect. “l do not think M. Briand's resig- nation will have a great effect upon world politics,” sald Dr. -Luther, the Cerman chancellor, when he arrived in Geneva this evening. “Naturally I do not desire to comment until I know all of the circumstances under which the French cabinet fell. I have no definite date with M. Briand and Sir Austen Chamberlain tomorrow, but am waliting to hear from them.” Dr. Luther was in the most amiable mood, his eyes twinkling behind heavy glasses. He replied to questions in French with the utmost grace, show- ing remarkable fluency in one of the League of Nation’s two official lunguages: Taking Dr. Stresemann, the for- eicn minister, by the arm, the chan- cellor submitted to a camera ordeal on the station platform. They then, with their suite, drove off in three k-and-span_automobiles of Ger- n make. They were greeted by a crowd of German correspond- ents and others. The (erman delegates came into a snow white city of peace; the snow- fall of the afternoon was just begin- ning to slacken. Thelr hotel was decorated with Japanese and Belglan flags and from it the reichs' banner was noticeably absent. They hurried to their apartments, while in the ball- room a fete was bejng staged for the French Red Cross, all the gilded youth of (ieneva and many visitors and no- tables taking part. Attitude Unchanged. In an officlal statement, the Ger- man delegation declared that Ger- many's attitude on immediate politi cal questions at Geneva was the same as outlined by Chancellor Luther in his Hamburg speech, when he. as- sorted that German electionn to a permanent seat in the council of the league was an essemtial preliminary to any discussion of reconstruction of the council. “The guiding idea of Germany's en- tire future policy at Genev: raid the statement, “‘will be that of engaging in a common work for the attainment of the great aims of the league and striving ever for the interests of all the members of the league." | According to other information from German sources, Germany will favor the appointment of a subcommittee of the council with the understanding that Germany be represented on it, to investigate reconstruction, with the idea of reporting at the September assembly. There is a German tend- ency to favor a permanent seat for Spain if the council is enlarged, and possibly a non-permanent seat for Poland, provided Czechoslovakla, an- other ally of France, drops out.
