DOINGS OF THE WEEK [ NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Power# Are Busy With Plans * for Limiting Armaments and Insuring Peace By EDWARD W. PICKARD 13 EDUCTION of armnments and other plans for Insuring the peace of the world and so saving the lives and money of Its Inhabitants are oc cupying the International mind .these days largely to the exclusion of other matters. Chief of the week's develop ments In this line was the virtual conclusion of the conversations be tween Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain with enough agreement reached to make certain the calling of a five power conference on naval reduction. England will Issue the Invitation, It was announced, to the United States, France, Italy and Japan, and the meeting probably will be held In London, starting In the second week In January. Mr. MacDonald complet ed his arrangements to sail for the United States on September 28 to con fer with President Hoover and Sec retary of State StJmson, and It was assumed that this consultation would result only In furthering the plans for the big meeting. Dispatches from Washington as serted that President Hoover already had agreed to accept a limitation of the number of 10,000-ton cruisers the United States may build, In addition to a limitation of aggregate cruiser tonnage, which Is the point for which the British contended In the futile Geneva conference of 1927. Whether America's big cruisers shall number 18 or 21 Is to be decided later. It may be, too, the British will put over their former proposition that there shall be no replacements of capital ships before 1930, when the Washing ton treaties expire. The extremists In the matter of national defense are rather worried by these reported con cessions, and cannot see how the United States Is to attain naval parity with Great Britain, but Americans In general probably regard the negotia tions with complacency. President Hoover In a radio address sought to reassure those who might be apprehensive for their country's safety. He declared that naval and land armaments should be held down to the barest necessities for defense purposes, In the Interests of peace, and that unless this policy Is adhered to, preparedness may become a threat of aggression and a cause of fear and animosity throughout the world. The proposals now under discussion by the great powers, he said, "would preserve our national defenses and yet would relieve the backs of those who toll from gigantic expenditures and the world from the hate and fear which flows from the rivalry In building war ships." Dealing with the troubles that may confront the flve-powor conference, the London Dally Telegraph says: "It Is from France and Italy, rather than from Japan, that the greatest difficulties are feared. These two powers may draw together tempo rarily for the purpose of objecting to holding the conference In London and of weaving causes for delay, but they have been engaged since 1020 In a naval race of a very strenuous and severe character with one another. "It Is not generally appreciated that France has been working on n build ing scheme which does not reach Its maturity until 1942 and which com prises 18 cruisers, 00 destroyers, 07 ocean-going submarines and 48 coastal submarines. Italy's building program was further Increased only last year by the addition of 13 ships to cost an additional $48,000,000, but Its princi pal strength lies In Its fast destroyers and motor torpedo craft." LOUD ROBERT CECIL presented to the disarmament committee of the League of Nations the British plan calling for reopening of the question of trained army reserves In any scheme for world disarmament, and was supported by the German delega tion. The French. Italians and Jap anese argued that this question liod been definitely laid aside last spring and that the present lime was Inop portune for reopening It. Since the gqeut powers In the I.engue of Nations have rejected France's pro posal for an International standing army, and (treat Britain refused to help form an International navy, the league Is now thinking of forming an international air force to help In com pelling the world to he peaceful. Col. Clifford llartnon of America, president of the International league of Avi ators, suggested the scheme last De cember and was sharply rebuked liv l.ord Cushendun of England; hut he did not give up, and seems to have gained some support from Premier Ilrlund of France and other diplomats, l.nst week both the French and the Hermans Introduced before the dis armament committee resolutions defln Ing the Juridical status of the planes of such an International force over various countries. The French meas ure said that the International com mission for aerial navigation Is pre paring plans and urges the freedom of (lying over all states, granted tlmt they are the league's machines. The German resolution said that, having learned that the International commission for aerial navigation is studying the legal position of league aircraft, the question must give rise to an lmportnnt Issue that the vari ous governments will require an op portunity to study after they have re ceived complete Information on the project. Count von BernstortT for Germany thought the French viewpoint could not be accepted. Harmon's plan provides for a fleet of bombing planes to nttack and break up mobilization In an aggressive country by smashing bridges, tunnels, railways, and other lines of transportation In order to pre vent the attacker from Invading a neighbor country.' The league assembly shelved until next year a proposal to assist nations threatened by war with International loans guaranteed by all powers In the league. One of Its committees also carried toward completion plans for lowering of customs barriers and re ductions of economic Impediments to trade, an essential preliminary being a world tariff truce of three or four years. BRITISH and Belgian troops quietly began tlie evacuation of the Ithlne land, and some of the French troops were withdrawn, though It Is expected France will mnlntaln a rather large force there up to the last minute. Wiesbaden Is to be made the head quarters of the Interallied Khlneland commission, whose staff will be great ly reduced. CHINA says It Is getting tired of the Soviet Russian raids on Man churlan border towns and that unless they cease the Nationalist government will drop its defensive tactics and adopt other measures, confident that It will receive the support of World opinion. The Chinese troops are en raged by the tnles of atrocities prac ticed by the Russians, as brought to Harbin by fugitive Chinese merchants from the border regions and cannot l>e restrained much longer. Foreign Min ister C. T. Wang has protested through the German government against the Internment by the Russians of Chinese who are not Communists or members of Russian trade unions and demanded their immediate re lease. While gathering large bodies of troops and quantities of munitions on the Mauchtjrian frontiers, the Chinese are collecting t mass of evidence to prove to the world that Russia has been violating the Kellogg pact De nials of this by Moscow do not have great weight with those who are aware of the Russian propensity to misrepresent?to put It mildly. SOON after Col. R. W. Stewart was ousted by the Rockefellers from the chairmanship of the Standard Oil Company of IndlnDn there were ru mors thnt be wns going to form a combine to fight the American oil kings. These have been revived now, for the colonel sailed for Europe last week and It was admitted he would visit Sir Henri Deterdlng. oil magnate of Europe and director general of the Royal Dutch Shell company whose products already are sold all over America. If a combine of Standard's competitors does result. It may bring the Royal Dutch Shell nnd Its ramifi cations. the Sinclair companies, the I'rnlrie OH and (ins and subsidiary pipe line company and the Conti nental Oil company all under a uni fied control. Rumors In American fi nancial circles were that Stewart had enlisted the Morgan interests. It looks as if a merry oil war were in the ofilng. Harry M. Blnckmer, the American oil magnate who fled to France to avoid testifying In the Teapot Dome cases and Is still over there, was fined $GO,00(> for contempt of court by Jus tice Siddons of the District of Co lumbia Supreme court. His lawyer gave notice of appeal, and Blackmer's $100,000 In Liberty bonds, seized some time ago, remains In the custody of the federal marshal In Washington. CART. JOHN M'LEOD brought his motor vessel Shawnee .of Nova Scotia Into Halifax with two shell holes In Its hull, and declared these were caused by two of four shells fired at close range by the U. S. const guard cutter No. 145 when the Shawnee was 20 miles off New York, hound from Bermuda to Halifax In ballast. He said the No. 145 had all Its lights doused and that after the firing It called the coast guard Greshnm. which later was relieved by another vessel, nnd that he finally outdistanced his convoy. McLeod said he would make formal protest through Ottawa. The Shawnee Is alleged to have been engaged In rum running. DOWN In the Carolines the Inhabi tants apparently nre determined not to have Communists from other regions Interfering with their labor troubles. The radicals from New York who went down there to aid the striking textile workers are hav ing a rough time, what with kldnnp ers and whlppers, and In a mob at tack on persons on the way to a strikers' rally at Gastonla, N. C? one woman was shot to death. For this murder and for various floggings nu merous arrests have been made, and the state authorities seem to be doing all In their power to restore order; but the Carolinians are In an ugly mood and further bloodshed Is ex pected. PRESIDENT HOOVERS appolnt * ment of Henry F. Guggenheim ns ambassador to Cuba to succeed Noble B. Judah, resigned, meets with general approval. The new ambassador is one of the leading figures In American aviation, being president of the Gug genheim fund for the Promotion of Aeronautics. During the war he served In the naval nvlatlon forces In both France and Italy and rose to the rank of lieutenant commander. BRIO. GEN. LYTLK BROWN, one of the greatest of American engi neers, was appointed chief of arm; engineers with rank of major general to succeed Major General Jadwln, re tired, and simultaneously with making known this selection. President Hoover announced plans for the reorganiza tion of the office Brown takes. High ranking officers will be placed In en tire charge of Important projects and held definitely responsible for the suc cessful completion of these special as signments. General Brown Is fifty-seven years old and was born at Nashville, Tenn. NEW TORE Is to have a lively mnyoralty campaign with five candidates. Congressman F. H. La Guardln, extreme wet, won the Re publican nomination, but the dry Re publicans began laying plans to put up a dry candidate.

Wslih ) WHENEVKU 1 consider what young Sterling Evermore went through In order to woo and win my ulece Kate I realize that times have not chnnged very much since the ordeal by Ore. He Invariably arrived at our sum mer cottage Ave miles from the vil lage where the train stopped, driving the only vehicle for hire?a runabout which promised Instant dissolution, and this last especial week-end visit he added a final swoop and clatter as the car hit the rural mailbox qt our gate and then sagged Into temporary haruilessncss. Sterling leaped out and surveyed the collapse of our postal arrangements. "Terribly sorry," he stnmmered as he strode toward the porch where Agatha and Henry and I sat, with Kate Just emerging through the door. "Doesn't matter at all," lied Henry, the perfect host, as he shook hands. Sterling blushed still harder when Kate looked op at him and completed his rout. Kaie Is slight and little with real gold hair and the corners of her red month curl upward. She turned her smile on her mother. "I forgot to tell you Sterling was coming," she murmured. "But It's air right. Isn't it, motherj" "Most certainly," said Agatha, be cause she couldn't say anything else. There were not enough chops and the guestroom blankets were at the laun dry and t>esldgs this Henry was terri bly perturbed at the Idea of Kate be ing grown up enough to have devoted young men. "I won't have It I" he told Agatha In the living room and then slunk away before her sardonic eye, which asked how he was going to stop It. "Oooh I" cried Kate from the porch, clapping a hand to one eye, Sterling had tossed her a felt hat as they started for a ride and the rim had flicked her face. "It's nothing!" she Insisted'when the family surrounded her. "No, It doesn't hurt?much !" "Wouldn't you know It?" Henry growled when the two departed. Ster ling solicitously guiding his tem porarily one-eyed love toward the mn chine. "Comes all the way up here to blind her, because he Is so fond of her! One chance In a million of hitting the mark and he hits It I I tell yon 1 won't have It 1" Some time Inter the runabout ap proached the cottage with a vague air of being an ambulance nnd when Kate and her cavalier entered she wore one eye bandaged and black patched nnd between them they bore sundry bottles. Sterling wns pale and anxious. "It got worse," he Informed us. "We hunted up an eye doctor nnd he said the eyeball Is scratched 1" "Of course It Is!" Henry snld tem pestuously, with an awful glance at bis child's suitor, drawing her to his side as though away front contamina tion. "Father!" the aufTerer spoke up sternly, one-eyed though she was. "As though Sterling meant to do It." Very shortly after, Kate being In her loom to rest. Sterling said lie thought he'd take a little walk In the woods, where It was quiet. Avoiding the front porch, where Benry fumed, Sterling, with the lumbering stealth of a Newfoundland puppy, slipped out the rear way and, once on the kitchen porch, drew a breath of relief and stepped down. Farther than he had expected?for the workman, Just fin ishing the Job of the new back steps In cement, had at the moment gone around the house to pick up the lum ber for a barricade against the mush like stuff. Be was through with a back-breaking task. Be returned at the Instant when Sterling's right foot was ankle deep In the top step and his left had scraped and slid down the others to the ground. The ruin was thorough. "Sterling! Are yon hurt?" cried Kate, managing In her rose lounging robe to look quite lovely In spite of her one eye. "Look at those steps!" cried Benry, wbo was paying S12 a day for them. "Be's Jarred off the cream pie I set on the lattice to cool r accused the cook, standing over the Jumbled mer ingue with a grim air of Its being a climax In her life. "The dinner dessert!" Assisted by Benry and the cement worker. Sterling got to his feet, brush ing futllely at his besmeared clothing, his face crimson with helpless wrath. "If you try to wash It off," the ce ment worker told him, with lively sat isfaction, "Itll harden onto the goods, and If you let It alone It'll harden, anyway! oln't It too bad!" But Kate did remove considerable of It for we found It Inter hardened onto the floor and the washbowl and all available surfaces. It was also en twined Id the bristles of Benry's pet English nail brush and In the fabric of Agatha's best towels. Young lore Is ruthless. Hostilities were abruptly closed when the explosion occurred In the kitchen. When we reached there so many things seemed on lire simul taneously that nobody said anything. We worked. Sterling's white Ihinnels that he had on, his other trousers spread on lite Ironing board, the ten towels on their rnck and s pile of newspapers all were biasing merrily. On the floor lay the- remains of lite big gasoline flntlron. "I?I thought," Sterling explained Jerkily as we grabbed and beat and stamped, "that I would not bother any one. I thought I could manage that fool Iron If I could run a car." "Well," Agnthn gasped, crumpling the charred remains ol six perfectly new ten towels, "I believe the?er? fundamental Idea Is slightly different. Now I'll try to And you something of Henry's to put ok" "Not my new suit!" Henry roared grimly. "I'm depending on the suit for the next six months." In Henry's golf rig. Sterling being six Inches taller than hit host and broader, the boy looked nervously un happy. Knte, still Indignantly seeth ing, suggested a ride. "I suppose," she nddressed her tnale parent loftily, "that Sterling may take your old green sweater? He forgot his." "He would," admitted Henry with bitter promptness. "Oh, by all means, take It." The runabout coughed and roared Itself away and Henry sat with his dropped magazine, thinking. "I can't get used to It," he said. "With so many other girls In the world?why did he have to pick on her? Where are my reading glasses? Funny how things disappear when that hoy Is around I No, I've looked everywhere I I can't read s word wlthnnt "em!" The two finally returned. Wnlkinit In very close together with clnsped hands, the radiance In their faces completely obscured the black patch Kate still wore over one eye. In spite of Henry's golf suit. Sterling looked very handsome. "Oh, mother," Kate faltered, "we?" "Mr. Turbot," Sterling hegan In the tone a young man uses hut on one occasion In his life, "I?we?" I must soy that llcnry rises to a crisis. Walking over to the two, he clapped Sterling on tie shoulder. "I knew It!" he admitted bravely. "Well, son. It's all right If she cares for you! It's come kind of sudden?If only I could llnd my glasses." "Oh!" breathed Kate with a remem bering gasp, turning a gate of com plete adoration on Sterling, "the sweater." From under Ills arm he produced It. He lost Ids conquering look. "There seemed to lie something In the pocket wh -i I sat down on It In the car," he explained, hurriedly. "It ?er?It was o pair of glasses. They ?well, they're quite smashed!" "Of course they ere." said Henry resignedly, lie hud accepted fate.

(Prepared by the National Geographic (| Society. Washington. D. C.) THERE are few opportunities anywhere In the world to see so many historic sites In half a dozen hours ns during the brief airplane trip from Constantinople to Athens. The route Is paved with geography; ? with history, which is geography in teracting with mankind; and with mythology. In which elemental geo graphic forces are given childishly hu man characteristics. Poets and historians, ladles and their Leanders, Argonauts and Anzacs, have so mosaicked with meaning this age old route that the air traveler, com pleting It between breakfast and luncheon, would need that iast-roln ute-before-drownlng clairvoyance to take In even the brood outlines of the picture on the rift between West and East, Europe and Asia, sailor and nomad. Greek and barbarian, between what was known and what was off the map. The plane Is fitted with pontoons and rises frcm the Bosporus. Behind, the Genoese castle of Anatoli Kavnk, only a moment ago outlined against the Black sea, has flattened out against a northern tip of Asia .Minor. As a point is rounded, with the pal aces and embassy gardens of Thernpla , below, the view extends to the Golden Horn. By the time the strait between Ru- j mcli and Anatoli Hissnr Is reached the plane 13 so high above Mohammed the Conqueror's "Cutthroat Castle" that the ground plan, said to be a chiro graph of Ids Arabic name. Is just a comfortable eyeful. The ground plan of Robert College takes on rare symmetry. In Its center a football game Is being played by two tribes cf varl-colored ants. Now the Constantinople Woman's college Is reached. Its buildings aligned Into one imposing facade. Looking Down on Stamboul. There l? u slight haze above Stam boul, the Seraglio palaces are visibly Isolated from the teeming city: am) the cornucopia curve of the Goblen Horn?despite its fame, a mere nick In the eastern edge of Europe. Is clear ly cut between close-rooted slopes, pock marked by lire and mournful with cypresses rising above marble skeletoned cemeteries. The fabled seven hills unite Into one main ridge. Now the plane Is almost over fat domed Sancta Sophia; and . the six tnlnarets of the Sultan Aluned mosque, so needlelike from the ground, seem squat rowers. The obelisks In the Hip podrome, Byzantium's antique pleas ure center, have no height, but their shadows stretch wide across a park the perfection of whlcb was never be fore so evident. One wonders when architects will begin to design struc tures to be beautiful from the air, us landscape gardening already Is. Outside the left windows the Princes Islands bathe In sun-spread quick silver and the Gulf of Istnld loses it self beyond. Off the right wing the landward wall of Byzantium, starting Imposingly with the Seven Towers, dwindles away until Its battlements are lost behind a bill overlooking the Sweet Waters of Europe. Now one looks straight down on the Island of Jlarmorn, unexpectedly large and full of valleys. Around a tiny bay In the north edge, marble cliffs or slag dumps, white as chalk, describe a horseshoe curve. Now Europe edges In from the right, with the ridge of Teklr Dagli. empha sized by cuinull. stretching down to give backbone to Galtlpoll. What a place to study geography! The two most famous straits of olden times, where Helle drowned and lo, Hera's rival, forded the Bosporus. Now the upper entrance to the Hellespont has been reached, with Galllpoll on the opposite shore. Just under tba bull is ? level bill where bere at one time was a Turkish fort. A little farther on Lapsaki comes ito view. It used to be Lampsacas n<i was famous for its wine and Prt pic worship. The town, being made of and and stoDe, may bare moved aboot bit, bat the name has hovered right here since the dajs when Themis ocles was Itf monarchoa and the Idea if hereditarj monarch/ was new. Lapsaki has its own little marina. >nt the main town stands back Croat he water, its reddish-brown roofs ar anged in seeming!/ perfect squares, rhe Junction of land and water bere s of extreme beast/, the shoreline tdged with a greenish bine breaking iwaz to the royal purple of the deep jr water.

A century and a balf later Alexander returned the compliment. Beyond the Gallipoll peninsula one can see Snvla Bay and below is the aid tower of Chanak Kalessi, until re cently ringed with modern forts. Across the narrow neck of water Is the trefoil fort of Kilid Bahr. s stalk less ace of clubs spiked down with a tall central tower. And here is Troy, lmmortaiiaed by Homer and Vergil, described by Stra bo. a rain soaked, soggy plain, cut by mere brooks and utterly without dra matic quality. The whole outline of Tenedos may be seen ns one flies along, its central portion cultivated. its shoreline notched by ways to which the Greeks withdrew, leaving the wooden horae outside the Trojan walls. The Isles of Greece. There are pitcb-blaet clouds ahead, their lower shies festooned with vjt ins wisps of rain like Spanish mom. The plane swoops down to iUUU feet. The Ion; line of Letnnos hi is the horizon at the right. and through the opposite window lesbos (Mytilene) detaches itself from the dank of Asia Minor, only indistinct suggestions of land lie ahead. Skyros shoulders her Mood-red. craggy cliffs toward the ship's path. When the flight lias lasted three hours an Arroiwlislike plateau on Kaboea shows itself. Foe the first time the plane dives directly toward the land to find a low. narrow pass above cul tivated fields, salmon pink amid tray rock and lash green and dotted with circular stone threshing floors near the Gulf of Petall. Theq comes the supreme thrill; for there, sweeping round In a perfect curve like a gold edged scimitar laid against Die blue. Is the Plain of Mar athon. Iloary-hended Parnes looms be yond. and reutellcus. neighbor of Athens and mother of her marbles, suggests how short a flight remains; yet how long thnt run for Phldippides. bringing news that the Medes and Persians were in flight and that Mllti ades had won! Now the Saronic Gulf Is below, opalescent tints showing on nn oyster shell-shaped beach. What seems to be the mainland to the left Is really the Island of Salatuls. From Maraihan to Salnmls, a ten-year struggle for the Persians, and the flyer can cover tc In the sweep of an eye! A brightly tinted new town. Its landscape gardeuing reduced to the proportions ot a painting, grows be low as the plane descends. Little l.yka bettos spears up to the right, and the Acropolis begins to assume a fraction of Its wonted dignity, as the rery heart nnd center of Greek life. There Is a bus terminus, and doom the plane conies, flushing past new villas and deserted piers.
