Most of France's territory and three-fifths of her population are in her colonfes. France, for that reason, does not see colonies as a barrier to a European federation, but merely as a complica- tion that will be met by good will and study when the nations get down to brass tacks later on. Turkey and Russia. Italy's insistence that Russia and | Turkey must be invited to join the fed- eration was regarded as another im- portant problem. It was observed among Prench officials that it was a| matter of judgment where to limit ‘membership. Russia is in Europe, but also extends far into Asia. Turkey is mostly in Asia.

BERLIN, July 11.—Gen. Friedrich von Bernhardi, who led the imperial army both in victory and defeat, died here yesterday at the age of 81. In the War of 1870 Gen. von Bern- hardi was the first German officer to enter Paris after its fall. In 1912 he wrote an article predicting an Anglo- German war. His prediction proved | correct At the outbreak of the World War he was commander of the Home units of ihe 50th Army Copps, but at his own request was assigned to a field com- mand. He was on early advocate of the use | | of asphyxiating gases, and before the end of the war was recognized as one of the premier strategists of the im- | perial army. In a book published less | than a decade ago he predicted a war of the future, in which gases and air- planes would play major parts. Early in Limelight. Gen. von Bernhardi was born No- vember 22, 1849. at St. Petersburg, the Prussian legation Schooled in Germany for a military career, he even as a young man came intc the limelight He was in the forefront of troops en- tering Paris in 1871, and boldly leaped over the chained barrier the French had stretched across the entrance to tre Triumphal Arch. waiting there alone for the rest of the Prussian army. He was best known to Americans through his bcok “Germany and tne Next War,” which was widely read and cited against Germany and the allied countries during the World War. He nade himself unpopular in pre-war days in Germany by continually harp- ing in his writing on “unpreparedness” of Germany fo: an inevitable European ‘war. Although the Kaiser was not inclined to look to him for advice and his mili- tary superiors resented his persistent public advoeacy of his own ideas about “preventative war,” the ironic outcome was that in the ‘allied countries after the outbreak of the war he quickly achieved the legendary stature of the guiding military mind largely responsi- ble for German entry into the conflict. Defeat of the imperial armizs never crippled his pen. His post-war volume. “The War of the Future,” was read widely in many countries, Lost Imperial Favor. As early as 1908 Von Bernhardi was the commanding general of the 7th Army Corps. In 1909 he fell out of imperial favor and was shelved by the Kaiser. It was three years later that he published his famous “Germany and the Next War.” When the World War began he served under Field Marshal von Hinden- burg, later taking command of an army corps. Army records cited-him for distinctive service. Bernhardi was a vigorous exponent of the policy of “frightfulness” in war. As such he unwittingly became one of the best propagandists for the allled side, for his books, in which he laid down his theories of inhumane warfare, were translated and distributed in mil- lions of coples throughout the United States and the countries of the entente. How badly this author-soldier's fame slumped in Germany during the past l.decade is indicated by the fact that 20 hours after his death only one Berlin daily had noted his demise. The prin- cipal press services contented them- selves ~ with distributing a one-line announcement. . FACING WATER aMINE GRAFTON, W.

TINDALL GIVEN | SERVICE TRIBUTE Commissioners and Senators Honor Veteran’s 62 Years With District. ‘The District Building board room was packed to overflowing today as high and low officials of the local gov- ernment took time off to do honor to Dr. William Tindall, who has served it for 62 vears. Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, chairman of the Senate District Committee, who introduced and managed the legislation rewarding Dr. Tindall with a life-time job, was the principal speaker. The ceremony was arranged by Francis Wells. Tax Assessor Willlam P. Richards, himself & veteran of the service, pre- sented Dr. Tindall with an enormous horseshoe bouquet and an ornamental desk set on behalf of Dr. Tindall's fellow workers. Senator Capper said that the only objection he had met in his campaign to continue Or. Tindall in the service in spite of the retirement law was that it might set a precedent. His reply to that was that if anybody - else reached the age of 85 and was “still going strong” in rendering ~excellent service after 62 consecutive years he would be happy tofollow the precedent. Dr. Tindall was given an gvation as -he walked into the palm-decked room escorted by Health Officer Wil- liam C. Fowler and Clifford Lanham, superintendent of trees and parkings, old friends. After hearing his efficiency, courtesy and kindliness eulogized by Luther H. Reichelderfer, chairman of the Board of District Commissioners, Senator Cap- per and Mr. Richards, Dr. Tindall made a characteristically modest reply. Dr. Tindall is the chief of the Dis- trict’s Information Bureau. He has served as secretary to the heads of government of the District under all of its forms. He became secretary to Gov. Alexander Shepherd shortly after being mustered out of the Union Army, which whose forces he fought in seven major engagements. HOOVER DECLINES TO DELIVER SECRET PAPERS TO SENATE ___ (Continued From First Page) not prevail against the treaty because they are fighting men.” Understands War Problems. “They are fighting men,” he contin- ued. “They undersiand the problems of war, and they realize that what Secretary of State calls the preventive measures of international relations which are intended to make war less likely may or may not operate suc- cessfully. “The Navy does not desire to pre- vent such measures, but it does wish to provide, in case such measures do not operate’ successfull and war does come. that the national defense shall not be threatened. “The trouble Wwith the Secretary of State is that he goes ahead against the experience of history in the plind be- lief and confidence that the preventive measures referred to will not fail and he sees no necessity for adquate pro- visions for the national defense in case of failure, because he can see no possi- bility of failure. With him the security of an international agreement is wholly important.” While Hale directed this attack at the Secretary of State, Mr. Stimson was at the Capital conferring with Sen- ators Robinson of Arkansas and Reed of Pennsylvania, members of the dele- gation. Confidential Papers Asked. The request for the confidential docu- ments bearing on the treaty, under- | stood to consist of messages exchanged | between the State Department and Am- bassador Dawes before the London Con- | ference, came to the President today | in the form of a Senate resolution ap: proved late yesterday. L It asked Mr. Hoover to submit the| papers if he considered such a course “not incompatible with the public in-| terest.” and suggested he recommend the manner in which they should be | considered by the Senate—whether con- fidentially or in open session. ‘The measure was proposed by Sena- tor McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee, an opponent of the treaty, but before it was adopted two amendments were in- serted, the approval of one of which was considered a victory for the ad- ministration. Amendment’s Provisions. This inserted the clause “if not in- compatible with the public interest.” The other made provision for possible recommendations from the Chief Ex- ecutive on the question of holding the papers confidential in the event he saw fit to produce them. The amendment giving the President the privilege of withholding the papers if he saw fit was proposed by Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, who served with the American delegation at London. It was approved by a vote of 38 to 17. The vote on final adoption of the resolution was 53 to 4. Those opposing | it were Black of Alabama, Copeland of | New York and George and Harris of | Georgia, all Democrats. They objected to it because of the Robinson amend- ment and said they believed the Senate, | and not the President, should be the judge of whether the documents should | be held in confidence. In his speech Senator Hale told the | Senate ratification would prove that the | United States was incapable of looking after its own interests. He added that the treaty “fails| completely on account of the re- fusal of France and Italy to agree to any limitation on auxiliary vessels and the loophole for increases under article 21, the ‘esculator clause,’ to place any effective limitation on future naval armaments.” The Japanese, he said, were given a substantial increase over the ratio pro- vided for capital ships in the Washing- ton treaty, while the British, by the terms of the treaty, “have us h: strung and hogtied, and there they will keep us as long as limitations of arma- ments are the order of the day.” NEW CANADIAN WARSHIP LAUNCHED IN ENGLAND 310 Feet Long—To Launch Sis- ter Ship in September.

COLORED MOTHERS | HAVE OWN VESSEL War Department Arranges Expensive Gold Star Accommodations. The inability of any major trans- atlantic steamship company to accom- modate the group of colored Gold Star mothers and widows going abroad to- morrow at Government expense to visit the graves of sons and husbands has resulted in the War Department char- tering & separate ship for the purpose. Various reasons were given the War Department by the Holland-America Line, the North German Lioyd, the Cunard Line, the Anchor Line, the In- ternational Mercantile Marine Co. and the French Line for their inability to, meet requirements to accommodate the group. To the American Merchant Lines, af- filiated with the United States Lines, was assigned the charter for the group sailing on the 12th, the entire accom- modations of the freighter-passenger vessel American Merchant being taken. Charter Cost Declared Heavy. The cost of chartering the veseel, it was said, will bring the average for the transportation of the colored mothers | and widows to more per person than that for the white mothers and widows, | many of whom sailed in cabin passage | on vesscls of the United States Lines. Of the group which is to sail the 12th, seven alreadv have indicated that they do not desire to make the trip. | The War Department has not been advised of the reason for these cancel- lations, but it was said that this is | about the usual number who cancel their passages at the lagt moment. Fifty-eight mothers and widows are scheduled to sail on the vessel, Secretary Hurley in a formal state- ment last night defended the depart- ment in its arrangements for the trans- portation of the white and colored groups to Europe. His statement said, in part: “After thorough study, the conclu- sion was reached that the formation of white and colored groups of mothers and widows would best assure the con- tentment and comfort of the pilgrims themselves. No discrimination as be- tween the various groups is contemplat- ed. All groups will receive like accom- modations at hotels and on steamships, and the representatives of the War De- | partment will, at all Itimes, be as solicit- ous of the welfare of the colored moth- ers and widows as they will be of the | welfare of those of the white race. Journey to Be Severe Tax. “The journey will be a severe tax on those making it, as it will take them into strange surroundings and away from families and frienss for a_period of about six weeks. The War Depart- ment has been motivated by the desire to relieve this strain in so far as possi- ble by not disturbing the normal con- tacts of individual pilgrims. It would seem natural to assume that these mothe and widows would prefer to seek solace in their grief from compan- fons of their own race. “A request has been made that these colored mothers and widows be placed in groups with white mothers and wid- ows. The War Department, of course, has no_objection to members of one group joining other groups provided ' they are welcome by the groups con- cerned. Without such welcome, it can be understood that this action would not | be conducive to the peace and comfort of the pilgrims of either race. If evi- | dence is furnished cf any member of any group wishing to join another group | and who will at the same time be wel- | come by that group, the War Depart- | ment will be glad to make the necessary | arrangements, It must be understood, however, that any change must be pred- | icated on the ability of the War Depari- ment to make satisfactory arrangements with the transportation companies and | the hotels.

Figuring it has saved consumers | $33,000,00¢ a month in the retail price | of meat and increased producers’ profits, the Farm Board has decided to inform the public whenever it believes condi- | tions warrant a cut in the retall price cf agricultural products. C. C. Teague, board member repre- senting fruits and vegetables, said today that while no definite policy had been established he had no doubt the board | would issue statements in regard to re- | rail prices whenever the opportunity arose to benefit the general public. Teague’s statement followed reports of & drastic cut in the retail price cf beef since June 26, when C. B. Denman, representing live stock on the board, | announced that as u result of the de- cline in wholesale and live weight prices the consumer should find current prices of beef considerably lower. Cut in Price Reported. Within 10 days the Retail Meat | Dealers’ Association had reported a cut of 10 per cent in the price of good beef and 20 per_cent on common grades. At Kansas City, Mo., a general 10- | cents-a-pound reduction was reported, and in Washington, D. C., for the first | time in years, club steaks were ad- vertised on_50-cent dinners, | Prior to Denman's statement the re- | tail price of beef had maintained a | constant leve' despite the succession of | dips taken Ly wholesale and live weight prices.

Estimating total beef consumption at 8,000,000,000 pounds a year, Denman said | a 5-cects-a-pound reduction in retail price would save consumers $400,000,000 | & year, or $32,000,000 a month. i In the first week following his an. nouncement, Denman said, the country | pany stock. EXAMINES SALES OF STEEL STOCKS Youngstown Merger Oppo- nents Tell Court Votes Were Cast lllegally. By the Associated Press. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 11.—The brokerage accounts through which Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. stock vas bought. and sold during the proxy war preceding approval of the sale of the company to Bethlehem Steel Cor- poration were under scrutiny today in the trial of suit to enjoin the deal. In a deposition which attorneys for the Cyrus S. Eaton interests read into the record, Grayson M. P. Murphy, New York stock broker, testified that at one time during the battle for voting stock he was unable to determine whether the account he was handling was that of Elton Hoyt, 2d; a group of individ- uals, or of Plckands, Mather & Co, ore rm. Hoyt is a partner in Pickands, Mather & Co., which, according to testimony in the trial, purchased several millions of dollars’ worth of Youngstown com- Murphy sald he had been told by R | B. McMath of the Bethlehem corpora- tion that the latter concern could not enter into any of the transactions. It was brought out yesterday through the testimony of H. C. Dalton, another partner in Pickands, Mather & Co., that Bethlehem loaned his firm $800,000 to replenish some of the money spent for stock. The Eaton attorneys seek to show through the exposition of the stock deals that much of the stock was illegally voted at _the meeting of stockholders, April 8, 1930. It was at this meeting that merger of Youngstown and Beth- lehem was approved by two-thirds ma- Jority. S HUSTON CONTINUES G. 0. P.

Nuft, reported that satisfactory progress was being made to insure the proper needs of these comm.ittees and that his organization would continue with the work until suificient money had been pledged to supply the ex- penses of the campaign and provide for the normal expenses of the National Committee for the ensuing year. “Both Senator Moses and Repre- sentative Wood reported that their or- ganizations were functioning in a sat- isfactory manner and. while it is too early to forecast results, prediction was made that party chances would im- prove as the campaign grew nearer. “A number of vacancies exist on the National Committee, which were dis- cussed and will be presented for action by either the Executive Committee or the National Committee in the ¢ tomery way when called by the chair- man.” A._R.

This honor was established when the tags issued by the District for dogs were distributed among the White S:usle pack. Padrick received tag Last year this honor went to Kin Tut, the Beigian police dog that died several months ago. ‘The other tags were allotted as fol- lows: No. 2, Gillette, Gordon setter; No. 3, Mark, English setter; No. 4, jGiant Irish Wolfhound of White House Kennels Among Pets. Pat, German shepherd, and No. §, Big Boy, wire hair fox terrier. The tags for the White House dogs were brought to the White House to- day by C. M. Towers, collector of taxes for the District, who personally pre- sented th'm to the President and who | later personally affixed them tn the collars of the five dogs Mr. Towers, however, did no collecting. It has been a custom for years to present the White House dog tags and, automobile tags with the compliments of the Dis- trict free of charge.

BY MARK SULLIVAN, ‘The question that has consumed four days of the Senate session, the demand to see the correspondence be- tween Secretary of State Stimson and Ambassador Dawes, has no direct bearing on the question of ratifying the treaty. This is wholly a collateral controversy over a point of power, pride and prerogative between the Senate and the executive branch of the Govern- ment. ‘The line-up on this question has no relation to the line-up on ratifying the treaty. Senator after Senator has said, in effect, that he would vote to ratify the treaty but that he would fight all Summer to maintain the Senate's de- mand to see this correspondence. They have sald that, as Senator Black of Alabama put it, this question of pre- rogative “fundamentally transcends in importance the question of the treaty itselt.” Senators Feel Outraged. ‘This question of prerogative as be- tween Senate and President is to the front as respects all relations between the two. When a large part of the Senate opposed Charles E. Hughes as Chief Justice, much of their action was in the nature of serving notice on the President that he must give the Senate a larger share in the selection of Justices. More lately, the Senate has been outraged because through the flexible provision of the tariff, a large part of the historically most important function of Congress has been trans- ferred to the President. ‘The Senate feels the President over- rode them about the pension bill. Sen- ator Black stated the broad position of the Senate when he said that the posi- tion of the President in the present matter “is an attempt on the part of the Executive to whittle off one more legislative function. We have ylelded the power to tax, we have ylelded the power to apportion Representatives.” ‘The dispute about the treaty corre- spondence is not & question of the Senate seeing the correspondence. It is a question of the Senate seeing it unconditionally. Senator Reed of Penn- sylvania has the correspondence in his possession. He offers to turn it over to the whole Senate with « proviso. The proviso is that the Senate read it in executive session as distinguished from open session. Executive session would prevent publication. Johnson Is Indignant. At this proposal Senator Johnson of California is indignant. What he is in- dignant at is the proviso, the placing of any condition whatever upon 4 Senate's seeing the corresporidence, It is a matter of principle with him. His position is that the Senate has a right to see the correspondence. Since the Senate has a right, therefore, it is in- sulting to the Senate that there should be any proviso or condition whatever attached to the seeing of the corre- spondence. Public curiosity as to just what is in the correspondence, and as to reasons for not publishing it broadcast, is an- swered by Democratic Leader Robinson of Arkansas, who has seen the corre- spondence. He says the “messages, ac- cording to the processes of diplomacy from time immemorial, were confiden- tial. * ¢ * There were some sent by our representatives abroad describing situa- tions in foreign governments which if published might cause very unfavorable reaction. Publication might create such resentment in other countries that the treaty might not be ratified by them. There is to me an element of comedy in the matter and that would be ap- parent if Senators could read some of these ‘secret messages.’'” Reed Gives Explanation. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, who went farther in hinting what is in the so-called secret correspondence and in suggesting why it should not be published “in the newspapers of the whole ‘round globe,” though he implied there would be no harm in publication in American newspapers. Senator Reed described the correspondence by analogy to the ; correspondence of the other nations, to- gether with an allusion te the arts of poker, He said: “When the delegates of the five nations were named, I do not know what information the ambassadors of Great Britain, of Japan, of France and of Italy here in Washington sent to their governments. But they would be sadly remiss in theiy duty if they had not promptly communicated back to their governments their estimate of the individuals who were named. It is open to any of us to assume that ordinary communications of that char- acter would have been made by Am- bassador Dawes to our own Govern- ment. Ambassador Dawds might have saild: ‘Sir What's-his-name Snooks is a very shrewd man. He deals very closely and has to be watched. Sup- pose that were published? That is the kind of stuff that comprises these so- called deadly secret documents, the ordinary full, frank comment of an in- telligent ambassador like Mr. Dawes, ing as he would speak if he were ; !el:ed in an office with his Presi- ent.” Gossip Hints at Language. Washington gossip hints a further humorous reason for hesitaney about publishing the correspondence, It fs rather well known that Ambassador Dawes: occasionally uses language more appropriate to intimate conversations than to diplomacy or Sunday schools, Undersecretary of State Joseph P, Cot- ton has the same trait of forceful ex- pression. . It is possible the correspondence may ontain some inelegant words that wduld shock the very polite world of diplomacy. According to a story cur- rent here some time ago an American ambassador abroad sent home an ex- tremely long dispatch full of woe and trouble. Undersecretary of State Cot- ton dictated an answer in four words. “Oh, laugh it off!" Some hours later a subordinate official of the depart- ment approached Mr. Cotton timorously and sald, “I am sorry, sir, but the | State Department code has no word for “laugh."
