NEWS REVIEW OF GURRENTEVENTS American Entry to World Court Will Again Be Up to the Senate. Oy EDWARD W. PICKARD SO FAR as the administration can go with It, the United States has now adhered ?? the World court Un ner instructions from President Hoover and Secretary of State Stim son, the American charge d'affaires at Berne, Switzerland, Jay Pierrepont Moffat, signed all the protocols In volved In America's entry into the tribunal. Albania, Abyssinia and Lith uania-have yet to sign the Root pro tocol, and then, at what he deems a propitious time, Mr. Hoover will send to the senate the revised protocol of adherence and ask its approval. The President's action followed the receipt of a note from Secretary Siimson analyzing the situation and urging acceptance of the new protocol. Mr. Stimson holds that the amend ments to the court statute safeguard the rights of the United States and sufficiently meet the objections and reservations made by the senate. "The amendments," he says, "are shown to be general in character, so as to include all nations; they also show that the reason why It is pro posed to assimilate the procedure on advisory opinions to the procedure on contentious cases is the fundamental reason that unless both parties to a dispute are present and heard the opinion will not carry any weight The report, therefore, makes it clear beyond peradventure that the consent J of the disputant nations is required In every case as a precondition to the granting of an advisory opinion in volving any dispute. "By this ruling and amendment an other fear as to advisory opinions is removed. If the United States is in volved in any dispute or controversy, to whatever degree, with another country, that matter cannot he brought before the World court without the consent of the United States, even for the purpose of obtaining an advisory opinion." In conclusion the secretary of state says: "Is there any reason why, on such terms, our government should not Join In the support, moral and financial of such a court, or why It should not lend Its efforts toward the selection of judges who will act In tMs great work in accordance with the nobel traditions of the American Judiciary? Or why our government's great power should not be placed In > position where- it can influence for good or check against evil in the fu ture development of the court's char ter and work? I think not." That there will be a warm light In the senate over ratification of the protocol Is certain. The opposition asserts that, by the scheming of the British government, the fifth and "most Important" reservation of the senate has been nullified. Under this reservation It would be impossible for Great Britain and other European powers operating through the League of Nations to Invoke the aid of the court In furthering their designs on the United States with respect to war deb'ts, restriction of Immigration and numerous other conflicts of Interest between the Old and the New worlds. The Root formula provides for the withdrawal of the United States from the court If there Is Insistence on an advisory opinion to which this country objects. JOSEPH R. GRUNDY, the wealthy high priest of the high tariff cult, has been appointed United States senator from Pennsylvania, to fill the seat which was denied to William S. Vnre. The appointment expires In December, 1930, and was made by Gov. J. S. Fisher with the understanding that Grundy will be a candidnte next November to succeed himself, when the other primary contestants prob ably will be Mr. Vare and former Gov. Gilford Plncbot. The power of the Mellon organization, of which Grundy is a part, will back him in that fight. Some of the radical senators from the West who, Grundy has said, have too much voice in national affairs in comparison to the Importance of their states, were desirous of refusing him admittance to the senate. But Senator Caraway of Arkansas, chairman of the lobby investigating committee, recog nized that a fight against Grundy would be futile, and.refused to oppose his seating. "I think," said he. "that it will be a good thing for the Demo cratic party to admit him to the sen ate." Consequently, when Grundy pre sented himself Thursday, accom panied by Senator Iteed of Pennsyl vania, be was permitted to take the oath. Bnt not before the radical sen ators had told him what they thought of him and his appointment. It was their last chance for such plain speak ing nnd they made the most ^of it, castigating Grundy severely and de claring that Governor Fisher had dis graced the state of Pennsylvania and insulted the senate by naming the super-lobbyist a member of that au gust body. BY A vote of 239 to 100 the house of representatives approved the Mellon-ISerenger agreement for settle ment of the French debt. Although the debt resolution has not been voted on previously In the . senate, the Indications are that It will pass that body by about the same pro portionate majority It received In the house, and as the French chamber of deputies ratified the agreement on July 27, approval by the senate will make It effective. RIOTOUS demonstrations In Haiti hare ceased at least for the pres ent and the American marines as usual "have the situation well In hand." Total casualties In the worst of the clashes between the marines and natives, the one at Aus Cayes, were ten Haitians killed and thirty wounded. The disorders were directed against President Borno and the Amer icans who have been assisting his ad ministration, and (Jen. John H. Rus sell, American high commissioner, con sidered the situation so serious that he asked for more marines. Rein forcements were started but the quiet ing down of the trouble made them unnecessary. President Borrfo made a statement that he would not seek re-election and Russell snl^ this had a most telling effect in restoring order. President Hoover thinks conditions In the Island republic are so chaotic that the; should be Investigated and asked congress to authorize him to appoint a commission to make an In quiry and advise the administration as to its wisest course. Some of the Democrats and radicals objected loud ly to this, declaring that the Presi dent himself was responsible for con ditions In Haiti and was seeking to unload It on congress. FOR the second time In Ave months convicts in the New fork state prison at Auburn made a wild and murderous attempt to escape. A group of them captured Warden Edgar S. Jennings and seven guards, re leased other desperate criminals from their cells and seot word to troopers, guards and state police gathered out jlde that they must be allowed to go out unhindered or they would kill tbelr captive*. When the door* of the main hall were opened the trooperi threw in gas hombs and a lively gun. light ensued in the course of which three convicts were killed, a numbei wounded and the warden was rescued j The other prisoners retreated to an other hall and kept up the battle anc before they surrendered five more ol them were shot to death. Principal Keeper G. A. Durnford was fatallj j shot by the convicts early In the up rising when they tried to seize hiir as hostage. The rioters were com parativel.v ffew in number and during I the battle 1,500 others remained quiet ly in the prison yard. TERRIFIC storms swept over th? Atlantic for daj-s, resulting in the wrecking of many small vessels and some larger ones on the European side and the loss of more than one hundred lives. In the southern and western parts of England the flooded rivers inundated towns and farm lands and did vast damage. The Thames valley, Somerset and parts of the western I midland counties wore the worst suf ferers. Roads were made impassible by the water and some smaller rail road lines suspended service. WHAT was described as the worst studio tire in the history of the movies in America cost the lives of ten persons in New York city and many others were seriously burned. Four of the dead were chorus girls. A company of 110 was making a pic ture in the studio, on the Harlem river, when a curtain was fired by a piece' of arc light carbon or a cigarette. The flames spread so rapidly that it was with greatest difliculty that any of the occupants of the building escaped. John C. Flynn, vice president of the Pathe Film company, and Henry Lally, production manager, were arrested on charges of "excusable manslaughter" and culpable negligence. COL. PATRICK J. HURLEY, who has been assistant secretary of war, lias been promoted by President Hoover to be head of the department to succeed the late Secretary Good. Colonel Hurley hails from Oklahoma and has had a varied career, distin guishing himself in various ways. He is the youngest member of the cabinet. The President appointed William A. Castle, first assistant secretary of state Tor the last three years, to be special ambassador to Japan to serve during the period covered by the naval limitation conference in London. In making the appointment known it was stated at the \\'hlte House that Mr. Castle would return to his pres ent duties when the armament con ference Is concluded. Ills selection for special ambassadorial duties was made so that the administration would have a trained diplomat, thoroughly conversant with the naval situation, in Tokyo while the naval conference was In session. REPOHTS from Canton tell of a great victory of the Chinese Na tionalist forces over the rebellious "Ironsides" division Just outside the city in which It was believed half of Gen. Chang Kak-wel's troops had been killed, wounded or captured. An at tack by the Kwnngsl rebels along the West river also was repulsed. There was Bghting with the mutineers In Honan and Anbwel provinces and fifty miles north Nanking. Admiral kondouriotis bas resigned n? president of the Grecian republic because of his ad vanced age and falling health. He Is seventy-four years of age and has had a distinguished career. He was the victorious commander of the Greek feet In the Balkan war of 1912-13 and a regent after the death of King Alexander In 1920, and again after the departure of King George II In 1923.

These three alone lead life to sovereign power." 8EA80NABLE CAKE8 This is the season of the year whet we enjoy the rich flavorful cakes, like irun cane, uney are ai many and of as different variety as there art tastes to enjoy them Fruit cakes like gooc friends. Improve wit! age. The sentiment con nected with the wedding fruit cake Is carrier along each year of th< wedding anniversary when bits of the samr cake are still served to celebrate eact event. Cake twenty-five years old It even more delicious thaD It was tbc year It was made. Old English Fruit Cake.?Take ont pound each of seeded raisins and cur rents, one-half pound of sliced cnu died citron, one-fourth pound of sliced cnndled lemon peel, the same of or ange peel, one package of dates pitted and chopped, one-half cupful of can died cherries or pineapple, two cup fuls of flour, one and one-half tea spoonfuls of cinnamon one teaspoon ful each of nutmeg and allspice three fourths teaspoonful of salt, one cup ful of butter, one cupful of sugar, sis eggs, well beaten, the Juice of one lemon, one-fourth cupful each of or auge Juice, grape Juice and shredded almond meats and two ounces of maraschino cherries finely chopped.

" I [y tables and fruits ? to l"1'"11? the k ? 1 * u diet and keep the y\. J blood alkaline. A large glass of orange Juice st the breakfast table will help to keep the system In good working order. Reduce the morning bacon and eggs on a day when a heavy dinner Is to lie served. Is It In Holland where they have the custom of serving salt fish the night before a feast day? At any rate It Is a good custom, for then with the free drinking of water the alimentary canal Is well flushed and one may be ready to take care ot a hearty dinner.

They were going slcwty. owing to various aspects of the car, chief among which was oltl age. Suddenly cunic a familiar gqunshlng sound. "'Nother puncture, pa!" shrilled Arathusa, aged sixteen. "Get me a plaster, Thuse," pa called out "Klx It In a Jiffy." Thuse snatched a plaster from the top of the Junk box. It was the one thing that was always handy and In place. She hopped out. Id twenty minutes I. was fixed, and they were going again, slowly, with pa glancing slyly over the side. Two miles, ixrhn^s, wlngi again came the familiar sound. "'Nother tire puncture!" once more shrilled Thuse. "That makes seven this afternoon." "Only Ave or six," expostullted pa. "Seven, 'cause I counted," positive ly. She bopped out with another plaster. Curs of all sorts were continually passing, going the same way. Another two miles or so, and s very handsome car appeared, coming to an abrupt stop opposite. The driver uttered a smothered exclamation. I'a was out again, with Thuse stand ing by him with a plaster. "Comes o' plckln' up one Inner tube thrown away on the road, an' buyln' another Ic a Junk shop for twenty-five cents," sniffed Thuse. "Why don't you buy a new one for a change?" ./"There was some good In 'em, Thuse.T explained pa. "I hate to see things wasted. Can I help you, sir?" to the other car owner. "pon't know," replied a perplexed voice. "Something seems to be wrong. I don't know what" I'a left his own work unfinished and went to the other car, crawling under with his makeshift tools. 'rive minutes later he crawled out. "Just a nut loose," he said. "All stub* now. Ton can to on." "Let's stop here nnd trim a tree for the children," suggested a woman in the car. "I saw a nice place n few rods back, with something that looked very much like holly. We won't reach Jacksonville till after Christmas." "All right Just as you say. I'll drop the bunch of you, nnd then skip over to the town and buy a .ew things for the kids. Soy," to pn, "you've got a mighty nice bunch of holly In your car?nnd some mistletoe, I'll be bound." "Not for me," laughed pa. "I no ticed 'em back yonder and cut 'em, thinkin' 1 might meet somebody on the road who'd like some. You're web ^ come." I The transfer was n:nde, with a "We ' are certainly grateful," from the woman. "Now we'll go back to the i place I saw." A Pa's wife had been busy, and was j out beside the road preparing dinner no during the wait. "All ready," she now called. po Dan, the ten-year-old, openly scoffed. "Salt povk an' measley 0f j 'taters," he said. "No, thanks, I'm tjl; not hungry." m. The rest ate, excepting Thuse, after ca which pa returned to his puncture. ^ mmn ri m wt The Dinner Was Spread Lavishly Over a Big. White Cloth. r He was Just ready to start again when Thuse railed: "Here comes that man." "All Invited to dinner and Christ- c mas tree," genially. "The wife In- s slsts. No back talk." (| l'a would have refused, but a look (I at the faces of Thuse and Dan de- ], terred him. ? "All right," he said, "be right over." s At first sight of the dinner, spread h lavishly over a big, white cloth, , C Thuse whispered, audibly, "Turkey, I and gobs of It." Dan merely chuckled, b After they were all so well tilled that they gasped, tbey went to the f Christmas tree, where everybody re- g reived ns many presents as they could t carry back, and pa himself bad a full n set of new tires.
