Camp for Convalescents. ‘The camp. nducted by the Ameri en legion, is primarily for those tuberculous patients who are on the road to recovery and need careful attention and plenty of fresh moun tain air. The journey to these institutions is to be made by auomobile a short time after luncheon. Since the round trip will cover more than 95 miles, it is doubtful if the presidential party will get hack to camp before 6 o'clock. This trip will be only the second long motor ride the President has taken since coming here. Thg other was the journey last week to ‘Platts burg, N. Y., to inspect the Citizens’ Militar Training Camp. The only other trip of any distance was the five-day visit several weeks ago to the Coolic homestead at Plymouth Notch, Vt. The remainder of the President’s motor rides up here have heen confined to trips to the varions fishing places and the daily rides, to and from church on Sunday and the executive office on week days.

Mann, head of the expedition, the first letter containing any detailed ref- erence to the impending capture of a giraffe. It was written shortly before Dr. Mann's cablegram announcing the capture of our giraffe, which the chil- dren of Washington are to receive, reached Washington. Although the letter was posted before the capture, his references probably concern the hunt that resulted in the bagging of Washington's own giraffe. In the same letter Dr. Mann tells of the trials and trfbulations of a hunter in Tanganyfka Territory who is under obligation to bring his quarry home alive, and not stuffed. These are all facts, children, that you should know as you search your busy braing for an appropriate name for the giraffe Dr. Mann is bringing home. Herd Found on Plantation. Here are some interesting excerpts from his letter, which is dated from Dodoma, Tanganyika Territory, July i9: ‘1 am staying at Dodoma a few days to give Loveridge a chance to get out. A planter sent in that there were a number of young giraffes in a herd on his place and that if we would send a man he would help catch one. So Loveridge has gone and reports that a number have been located, a hundred natives secured and they are attempting to catch one. But don’t count the attempt until the animal is in the crate. “It may interest you to know how a day is spent at Dodoma. The first thing in the morning milk is delivered.

WORLD COURT “CONSENT” DEMAND AROUSES DISCUSSION ___(Continued from First Page.) M. Fromageot and recommended that the league council ask the court for an advisory opinion as to whether future advisory opinions should be re- quested by unanimity or a majority of the council. If the court ruled that only a majority was necessary, M. Rolin was confident that the (nited States would not insist upon this reservation. = He asserted that the United States Senate had proceeded on the theory that unanimity was essential and that if it now was established that the Senate was mistaken, he was certain it would remodel the reservation. England Opposes Plan. Speaking for Great Britain, Sir Ceell Hurst opposed the Religan sug gestion that the court be asked for an_opinion, believing it unwise to call for such a ruling, which might be binding for all time. He remarked that, in the dispute between Great Britain and Turkey, the court had ruled that parties to a dispute did not possess the right to vote, and sald he was convinced that the American reservation was based on a misconception. Italy attempted to save the situa- tion by recommending thut the league council write to the Wash- ington Government asking it to agree to adhere to the court on the understanding that it would enjoy all the prerogatives of the members of the council. 1f Washington rejected this, he advocated appealing to the court to lay down the proper coun cil_procedure. M. Fromageot of France, again speaking. sald no good would he achieved by appealing to the court of light, because even if it ruled unanim- ity necessary, the parties to a dispute have no right to vote: hence the United States could not vote and would not get what she wanted under her fifth reservation, namely, the privilege of veto. He supported the Italian motion, adding that In writing to the United States it should be made clear that nothing more could be done than to accord her the same rights as were enjoyed by the members the council. of Wife Charges Beatings.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. ROME, September 2.—Premier Mus- solinl today commenced his hardest battle, the financial and economic battle. This battle consists - chiefly in stabilizing and increasing the value of the lira. Two ways are available. First, foreign help by means of a loan. and second, drastic internal financial and economic restrictions. After failing to succeed in reach- ing agreements with Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, Mussolini chose the second way, as Premier Poincare did in France. The economic measures aim to decrease the import of ofls, wheat, raw materials and machines. ow Eat Black Bread. Today all Italy commences to eat “black bread” and chestnut pastries.

The remaining state currency, con- sisting of notes of 5 and 10 lire, will be replaced by silver pieces. Help for Industries. In order to help industries, agri- culture and commerce, which were hit by the difficulties resulting from the shortage of currency, Premier Mussolinl discharged some taxes— for instance, the 4 per cent tax on hotel bills. To give more confidence and secu- rity to depositors, the government will supervise, through the Bank of Italy. all private banks. It will be remembered that the premier in summing up his strong will toward Italy’s financial standing® said: ‘I will defend the lira as long as I have a drop of blood left in my veins.” (Conyright. 1926, by Chicago Daily News Co.)
