A large map of the from the District of Columbia, and also | United States showed the progress being served on the national committee on [ made in the publicity field by the va- line.

The publicity exhibit also included a manager, showing the work being done rious States. to show at a glance the outstanding | accomplishments in _parent-teacher | work of the State branches.

T, Belated Tourists In‘100°Clock Town’ Resort to Sarcasm | PARIS (A.—A “10 o'clock town” in the provinces has produced a humorous hotel notice that tells it own story. It is hung at night on the front door which is locked when the clock reaches the curfew hour. It reads: “At the first ring of the bell the watchman does not stir. “At the second ring he gets up and lights an electric lamp to show that he is up. “When he lights a second lamp, the traveler may know that the watchman has put on his trousers and is going to open the door.” On the sign, one travelel red of waiting outside, wrote Let the watchman open the door without his pants.” WALRUS_SK.ULL FOUND.

The Hughes of 1916 would have plunged himself into a futile fight with the United States Senate in 1921 on the theme of the League of Nations. In 1920 Mr. Hughes had indeed committed himself to the proposition that a vote for Harding for President was a vote for a concrete-paved. geranjum-lined highway to Genesva. He even, after be- coming President Harding's Secretary of State, addressed himself for some weeks to the task of stirring American antidotes into the broth of the treaty of Vesailles in order to make the treaty and the covenant of the League palat- eble to the indigenous senatorial sense of taste. Then came his “great betrayal” of the American pro-league theorists. They were theorists because they wanted to spend two or three years in the Senate kicking up dust and getting nowhere. Mr. Hughes, bookworm and data-delver #s he was, intellectually opinionated and obstinate as he was—and is—had now learned also that the school of life in- cluded “the other boys.” He had learned, particularly, in this instance that “the other boys” in the United States Senate would never lst the covenant of the League get by their gantlet line alive. | He turned, abruptly, resiliently, from | Geneva. He abandoned the pursuit of organized internationalism eastward. He gazed westward at the Pacific. He des- cried a path toward organized interna. tionalism there. He summoned the Arms Conference of 1921 and out of it drew the four-power pact between the United States, Japan, Britain and FPrance. which—to any blown-in-the-bottle and fossilized-in-the-fire anti-leaguer like me—is just as much a fundamental de- r};fl! from “isolation” as the league tse I certainly admired—and admire— with feelings of crushed and frustrated and applauding resentment — the readiness and briskness and utter supple success with which Mr. Hughes “be- trayed” the “internationalists” only in order to outwit and outflank us “isola- tionists” for the benefit of “interna- tionalism” and international “law and order.” Advocated League Court. He then thereafter proceeded to e President Harding lny!:) rmmme;;‘lgl American membership in the League’s Permanent Court of International Jus- tice. There was no real demand for this move in high Republican political cir- cles in generai. Most Republican Sena- tors were perfectly willing to let the | « regenerate the globe without our belp. Except for President Harding's recommendation of it. the Republican #ide of the Sen: would have slain the court in 30 minutes. Most of President Harding intimate personal friends were not only indifferent to the court, but thoroughly hostile to it. President Harding's wife was bitterly opposed to it. She used to get Senators to dine with the President and warn him #gainst the court. No use! Mr. Hughes wanted it, and Mr. Hughes won; and there you are! If there is one thing of which, as an obscure historian of sublime cotempor- ary events, I am sure, it is this: That without Mr. Hughes we would not today oning or hallooing ‘The only alloy in high honor which member of th i he now somehow Il magnetize u t Hughes at Mavana. 1 have seen do that magnetizing of his. 1f 1 1+~ 10 be a hundred years old 1 shall ner 4pect ever again to see anyhody 6 gr nd, so godiike, as was Mr. H Havana in the Bixth Internati sonference of dinner—Mr. Hughes rose to crown his life of service to this Republic. The gal- | leries had been applauding every attack made from the floor upon the interven- tionist activities of the United States. Mr. Hughes had sat and walted. The Hughes of 1916 would have spoken first in the amplitude of his righteousness. The Hughes of 1928 sat and waited, and sat and waited until the attacks upon the United States swelled to their cli- max and exhausted the stored reservoirs of the philosophy and vocabulary of the attackers. Then, not a moment too soon, but not a moment tardily, he rose. Then Takes Command. On his face there was no mark of fatigue. It was evening, but he was as radiant as morning. He was smiling. He | glanced at the galleries with no anger, with no discontent, with no reproof. He stood erect, unembarrassed, wholly un- apologetic, positively commanding, and yet utterly companionable. The effect was incredible. He dominated the hail by his mere rising. He seemed like some sort of superhuman natural phenom non. The smile across his strength was | as if some unyielding cliff had gone and | equipped itself with an ingratiating but | not misleading rainbow. He began to speak. He evaded nothing He narrated everything, just as it had been, just as it would be. Where there | was choas, where there was no effec- | tive government, there was bound to be | iutervention. The cure for intervention from abroad was the establishment and maintenance of effective government at home. Let that effective government fill the future! The United States would bury intervention in the past! Nothing could have been franker. There was in it no abatement whatso- ever of the proposition that, one way or | another, there must be national and in- | ternational law and order in the neigh- | borhood of the United States. - | 71 watched the floor and 1 watched | the galleries, The gallerics were crowd- ed with well dressed and entirely irre- | sponsible people 'h;’n knew"only '..;‘llll they were inst intervention. he A e ied by authoritative American statesmen who had al- ted to Mr. Hughes a complete gran! gf.noml moral respect. They greeted rising with courteous applause. The galleries greeted it with silence. Half an hour later galleries and fl were cheering Mr. Hughes, sentence after sentence, in tumult after tumult; and an American statesman for first time in our history had told to Latin America the truth and had re- cefved in return an ovation. Few Equal Triumphs. Few equal triumphs of individual per- sonality can be found written anywhere on the roll of. recorded human time. The Hughes of what we call the prime of life would have been altogether in- capable of it. The Hughes who accom- plished it was the Hughes who has | known how so to control himself and how %0 in general to live his life that the moment of the sere and the yellow would be for him the moment of the most lavish—and the lightest—blossom- i | ing. | | 1 see Mr. Hughes sometimes walking | down the street in Washington on his | | way to some nccasional business there. | I like best to note him when he is | walking alone.
