R e ATHT0 LEGE Geneva Leaders Say More and More Nations Are Foreswearing War. BY JOSEPH E. SHARKEY, QGeneva Correspondent of the Assoclated ress. GENEVA, April 2.—Easter brought new faith to the League of Nations that the peoples of the earth have girded themselves with the glory of peace. League workers are glowingly filled with confidence that Christ's ap- peal to His disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature is being fulfilled. In an official announcement on the eve of the anniversary of Christ’s resur- rection they pointed out in evidence that more and more nations are agree- ing iIn solemn covenants to foreswear the sword and settle all their disputes by the peaceful processes of conciliation and arbitration. Fifteen treaties of this nature were mnegotiated in 1928 in addition to the swmmieets 'T'he four leading brands...with brand names concealed... that only six similar treaties were con- cluded in 1926. ‘There was, therefore, an accelerated i smoked and compared by 119 diners at Carlton Hotel ent year and which gives promise of being further accentuated by the gen- eral adoption of the ‘“general act” enacted by the last assembly whereby nations bind themselves to settle pa- cifically “all questions whatsoever which they have not been able to settle by normal methods of diplomacy.” Nine Pacts Exclude War. Armaments may still be mighty, said league officials tonight, but the chances of men utilizing them against their fellow nations are becoming increas- ingly less. As proof of this they em- phasized that nine of the treaties men- tioned above exclude war even as a possibility. Another feature of the treaties deem- ed immensely significant is that states- men have dropped their old contention that questions affecting the nation’s honor or vital national interests must be carefully excluded from the scope of the treaties. Henceforth disputes on even these problems must yield to the Pprocesses of peace. The League will observe its tenth an- niversary in September with sclemn ceremonies. Its structural work has been completed and is bearing fruit. Easter finds the League leaders turning yearningly toward the American peo- ple and siriving to determine how much co-operation can be expected from America in the Geneva peace venture. Sees Hoover’s Sympathy. Thanks chiefly to the leadership and vision of Elihu Root, the League be- lieves that it now can count upon American adherence in the World Court of Justice and believes this accession will have tremendous moral influence on the general movement for peace, based on conciliation and justice. They believe President- Hoover, who has seen men suffer and die, will not falter in extending collaboration to all peace ef- forts whenever it is humanly possible without unwisely entangling the United States. Finally Easter finds the new doctrine permeating the hearts of men here who are striving to weave the fabric against war, To the League of Nations the immortal Foch becomes the symbol for the millions of youths who immolated themselves—martyrs to the sacred cause of humanity. Their faith is that these youths shall have not died in vain, and that the world shall henceforth dedi- . cate itself to peace, so that men may be permitted to live out their lives in brotherly fellowship of service and hap- piness, e JEWEL COLOR IN LEAD < i 7 FOR EVENING WRAPS AT THE CARLTON, IN WASHINGTON . . . a8 at many other famous hotels, this test was made to determine TR A ¢ which cigarette is most appealing to the taste.

It is the jewelry of madame—if any— that decides what color evening wrap she will wear over her white gown. Influential fashion makers are insist- upon the white gown, and show more white than any three colors, ex- cept black. Lacking jewelry women who dress by the last-minute rules are going to wear wraps of the flower shade that is most becoming to them over white evening dresses or frocks of paler shades in the tonality of their wrap. The simplest, and sometimes the rettiest, of the velvet wraps are un- lined. The softest of chiffon velvet is used for them. Unimportant collars or ermine or fox are quite general, al- though many wraps have no fur trim- ming. There are pretentious coats and capes of intricate cut with large col- lars and trimming bands of the most expensive furs, including sable. ‘The woman who scorns jewels can carry out the scheme of white and bright color in accessories to match her cape.
