10 FURTHER U. 3. AID IN EUROPE URGED Called Greater Step for Se- curity Than Warship Construction. BY GERVILLE REACHE. By the Consolidated Press. PARIS, April 5—France has just ratified the Young plan and The Hague accords. It is only necessary now for three other powers to ratify the instrument for the mnew protocol to enter into force. ‘The Belgian and the British govern- ments have informed Paris that this will take place without difficulty or de- lay on’ therr part. In Italy there is some pre-occupation regarding & definite and complete settlement of East European reparations, of which certain points are still under discussion— notably the not easily determined con- sequences of agrarian reform.in Czecho- slovakia, the product of which is to be aid into the agrarian fund. Since this s only a matter of the relatively small sum of 7,000,000 gold marks (about $1,750,000) annually, it is hoped that it will not delay Italian ratification and that the necessary signatures of the four principal creditors can be obtained within 10 days. Loan Incites Interest. ‘World-wide attention is being paid to the coming German external loan. France wanted this loan—duration of which is 37 years, the same as uncon- ditional German payments—to be so international that all coupons could be paid in any city, but this point raised fiscal difficulties and produced technical opposition from the British and the Germans. Consequently there is en- visaged only an issue with national portions, which, it is possible, could be quoted on all markets in practice, if not in theory. ‘The two most important portions to be issued are those to the United States and Prance, which get between $75,- 000,000 and $80,000,000 each, with $45,- 000,000 for England, $25,000,000 for Germany and Holland, $15,000,000 for Switzerland and the remainder for Bel- glum and Italy and, perhaps, even Sweden. Since it is likely that France will make almost immediately to the Inter- national Bank a guaranty deposit of 500,000,000 marks, it is considered that the loan will be easily floated and that the credit of Germany will allow the consideration of an interest rate appre- clably lower than that for the 1924 Joan. ‘These developments should incite partisans of a policy of excessive isola- tlon to greater moderation. Is it pos- sible for a nation to isolate itself from the world when it is the creditor for all the world for such important sums as_those owed to the United States? No, it must be recognized that there is some interest in the maintenance of the credit and good will of one’s debtors. ‘The Dawes and Young plans are testi- monials of American interest in Eu- Tope. American citizens of high stand- ing have devoted their good offices in settling the great reparations quarrel. ‘They succeeded therein at the same time that the American Government was consolidating other war debts. This far-seeing policy soon will produce very complete results. . Results of Policy Speculated. If Washington substitutes for this policy one of too pronounced isolation, what would happen? It would provoke an equivalent Chauvinism in Europe, where some would propose the annul- ment of war debts and a tariff war and many other foolish steps, likely to lead to results quite other than dis- armament. Unfortunately, the progress of social- ism has been so considerable in Eu- rope that this phenomenon. if further intensified, would inerease the obstacles separating the two continents. The slightest perturbation of a grave na- ture in Europe would not fail to accen- tuate the trend of latent bolshevism, which remains more or less menacing as long as Russia is under Soviet rule. By collaborating in as full a measure as possible in the financial and eco- nomic restoration of Europe, the United States would be better employed in ‘working for its security than by build- ing warships or threatening to girdle itself with a Chinese wall of isolation.

HEARING ON CASSIDY EVIDENGE CONTINUED Justice Gordon Grants Delay Be- cause Government Was Not Ready to Argue Motion, Because the Government was not ready to argue the motion of George L, Cassidy, known as the “man in the green hat,” for the suppression of evi- dence seized from him and his ma- chine near the Senate Office Building, Justice Peyton Gorden yesterday con- tinued the hearing on the motion until mext Saturday. United States Attorney Rover had expected to place Cassidy on trial the coming week, but further delay will be necessary until the motion to suppress evidence has been decided. Cassidy claims the police had no “probable cause” for suspecting that he was violating any law when they ar- rested and searched him. They also took away the keys to his automobile, he says, and searched the machine. He is represented by Attorney Myron G. Ehri¢h. KNUTSON URGES MOVE Authority of I. C. C. to Act on Mergers Would Be Suspended. A resolution to suspend the authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission to approve railroad consolidations “un- til Congress passes legislation properly designed to protect the public interest” was introduced Friday by Represent- ative Knutson, Republican, Minnesota. ‘The Knutson resolution is similar %o one introduced recently in the Benate by Senator Couzens, Republican, Michigan.

Al- though a busy lawyer, Mr. Scoville has a number of observation posts in widely scattered districts—in fact, from South- ern_Florida to the shores of the B-g of Fundy—where he spends as mucl time as may be spared from his prac- tice of law and where his wife, former Katherine Gallaudet Trumbull, who is as enthusiastic over bird life as he is, is his inseparable companion. Mrs. Scoville is the grandniece of that re- vered Dr. Edward Gallaudet, son of the philanthropist who founded Kendall Green Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in this city, Neither Mr. Scoville nor his wife have ever used a gun in a forest where wild birds spend a period of time during their migritions, their only shots being trom the camera, and their collection of such, colored and mounged, in their studio in Haverford, Pa., is of unique value, * ok ok % Mrs. Payne Whitney, who can min- gle the writing of a sonnet with the training of a prize-winning steed, has for some time been rearing pedigreed dogs in her kennels in the Shinnecock Hills, mostly of the cocker spaniel type Hay, statesman, diplomatist and au- thor, to revive in her kennels the once- fashoinable pug. Gotham chuckled with mirth a few weeks ago when the ener- getic manager of a Victorian drama then in rehearsal scoured the city in vain to find a pug, which, according to form, should waddle on scene on the heels of his mistress, Although Mrs. Whitney, #s do other intelligent observers, sees the return of Victorian styles in clothes, and to some extent in home equipment, she is not favorable to that canine atrocity, the pug, except as a grotesque in porcelain or to enter- tain children in a nursery. The man- lfil’. however, is determined to have his pug, and he is trying his luck in the English Midlands, said to have re- tained t! Victorian tradition more generally than any other part of the world. ‘The late Queen Alexandra had an aged and very asthmatic pug, which was chloroformed soon after her death and which, according to expert opinion, should have been put out of its misery moenths before. E R Dottoressa Maria Montessor], whose name has been so familiar in this country in connection with her famous nized by the Italian government. She was recently recalled to Rome and elected by the ministry of education to conduct her own schools in all parts of the kingdom. Premier Mussolini has made a grand occasion of la dottoressa’s return, and her disciples from 21 different nations were asked to aid in the official welcome staged in a handsome edifice in Via Monte Zebio, henceforth to be known as Opera Montessorl. Although no Washing- tonian was present when the renowned educator received the belated homage of her country, there are scores of emi- nent citizens who were impressed with her methods and still use them as suc- cessfully with their grandchildren with their children. Dr. and Mrs. Gil- bert Grosvenor are among these and their large family are certainly a credit to the Montessori teachings, with each displaying marked originality and succeeding in their ambitions. Mrs. Grosvenor took special lessons from the dottoressa, and her sister, Marian, Mrs. David Fairchild, was an early convert, and conducted her juvenile household after the methods advised. This plo- neer of playgrounds and play houses for the poor and middle classes as well the medical degree from the University of Rome, and so marked was the an- tagonism to her system that she left Italy and became established first in Great Britain and then in the United States and then gradually all over the cultured world. ik g ‘When Miss Edith Frances Mundy turned from the usual avenues of art and devoted her time to a revival of the wax relief portraits much thought of a century ago she started a craze which has temporarily set the silhouette fad in the rear. An exhibitior of the Mundy wax rellet portraits was held last Spring in New York City and the fashion recelved a tumultuous welcome and is now already well established. Wax, a medium known in the primitive stages of portraiture, has proved ex- cellent in the presentation of children and Miss Mundy has been especially successful in round effects.
