Z HI ~~ ? t :t _ 'V* News Review of Current Events the World Over Progress of the Presidential Campaign?New York City Threatened With Bankruptcy?Great Britain Abrogates Trade Treaty With Russia. By EDWARD W. PICKARD NO GREAT effort on the part of candidates and campaign leaders was necessary to keep the minds of the American people on politics during til A tpoolf Mil* tK A A*. fort wns made never theless. IJoth Presi dent Hoover and Gov ernor Roosevelt were out again on speaking tours, and eminent men of both major parties pleaded for the votes of the elec tors In all parts of the country. In the Middle West Hie chief speaker for the Demo crats was Gov. Albert ryland, one of the as Gov. Ritchie Ritchie of Ma pirants for the Presidential nomina tion In the Chicago convention, -lie debated issues and candidates with Henry Allen of the Republicans, in Chicago, and delivered other addresses there and elsewhere, and all the time he stressed the Importance of the pro hibition Issue. Governor. Roosevelt In his own be > half spent eight days talking In Pitts burgh, Indianapolis, Springfield, 111., St. Louis and down through Kentucky and Tennessee to Atlanta ; and then up through South and North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, to deliver the Inst of his major addresses in Balti more. President Hoover's Journey was a week-end trip whose main objective was Detroit. On the way to the Michigan metropolis he made brief stops and talks at Charlestown, W. Va., at Columbus and Toledo in Ohio, and several other places. The Presi dent's aides said he had developed a liking for rear platform campaigning as a result of his trips to Des Moines and Cleveland. There was nothing surprising in the announcement of the I.n Follette or gan In Madison, Wis., that the La Follette faction In that state would support Mr. Roosevelt. Rev. James R. Cox, Catholic priest of Pittsburgh withdrew as the Presidential candi date of the Jobless party and urged all his followers to support Roosevelt This was quite within his rights, but his public statement that President , Hoover "never lifted a hand or raised a voice to relieve the suffering Ameri can people" is an example of either inexcusable mendacity or deplorable Ignorance. NEW YORK city is In such a dis tressing financial condition that the hankers have refused to advance funt's for the November pay roll, and told (he men who are running the me tropolis they would not save It from bankruptcy unless the budget were radically reduced. So the budget mak ers got together and slashed off ap proximately $75,000,000, which the hanker* said was not nearly enough. A large part of the savings planned by the h-ard of estimate was through the adoption of a fifty-year subway bond scheme. This, It wag admitted, spelled the doom of the 5-cent fare to which New York has clung so tenaciously. It was believed a 10 cent faro would be established within a year or two. Acting Mayor McKee tried to put in to effect wholesale salary reductions and elimination of workers in over staffed departments, but the Tammany bloc would have none of this. They even Put into the budget some of the np Propriations that had been cut out. The city must have additional funds supplied to It before November 1, as there Is only $0,000,000 left in the treasury with which to meet the semi monthly Installment of $13,000,000 for the pay roll. \X7IIEN the British parliament * opened its fall session almost the first thing it heard was the announce mpnt nf T n TLomno coernldfV nf *tate fo?* dominions that Great Britali had broken off com niorcial relations witl Soviet llussia and ah rotated the trade pnc *ith the Moscow gov eminent In order t< carry out the econom tc policy adopted b; the imperial confer cnce In Ottawa. Ii ?ne article of thi Agreement reachei there, Great Britali s J. H. Thomas 9 ana Canada agreed to prohibit the im ports of any foreign country in which the state control of industries and commodity prices resulted in dumping abroad to the detriment of the new preferential tariff agreement of the British empire. Mr. Thomas added that both the British government and Russia were still eager to increase the trade be tween the countries and that the Rus sians were ready to negotiate a new treaty that would not interfere with the empire's Internal arrangements. The immediate practical effect of the renunciation of the trade treaty will be to deprive British consumers of large quantities of low priced lumber, fish, and grain. Secretary Thomas told the house also that the British negotiations with President De V'alera of the Irish Free State had broken down and that De Vnlera contended the only permanent solution of the controversy would be the creation of a united Irish republic. D F.PORTS made public in Washlng ^ ton were both good and bad. Put ting the latter first, the treasury is sued figpres of the receipts and ex penditures during July, August and September showing that the deficit of the first quarter of the fiscal year Is $-102,000,000, a rate which If kept up would send the treasury into the red to the tune of $1,000,000,000. The new Income taxes coupled with- high collections on miscellaneous taxes en acted in the new billion dollar tax bill last spring are counted on to hold this deficit down during the final months of the year. Statistics given out by the Depart ment of Commerce showed that the export trade of the United States in September, due principally to excep tionally large shipments of cotton, in creased over the value for the pre vious month by a margin of $23,000, 000?the largest monthly gain record ed so far this year. Imports likewise showed an Increase in September, as compared with Au gust, the department stated, although it was less pronounced than the gain in export ffaJe. During the month, It was shorn. Imports increased by $7,000,000 to total $OS,000,000, or the highest monthly Import level since June. Another encouraging report was that of the federal oil conservation board, composed of Secretaries Wil bur, Hurley, Adams and Chapin. It said: "The American oil industry gives Indications of being the first basic industry to emerge from the world depression." LAW authorities of Chicago, assist ed by the federal government, were still trying to figure out some way to bring Samuel Insull back from A thnno frifi trnil fin (charges of embezzle ment and grand lar ceny. The former . multimillionaire r e fused the demand that he surrender his passport, and strolled around the Greek cap ital watched only In formally by the po ? lice. But the diplo mats In Athens were rushing the proceed ings in connection with the ratification t mnvlnori nrtrn/lif iftn Samuel Insull, Jr. or tne urccu-aujcui.au mu?u.hwM treaty, and the Instruments were al ready on the way to Washington. Fob ' lowing the exchange it was believed Instill might be extradited. The fu gitive appears to be well supplied with funds, and their source was explained when State's Attorney Swanson in Chi cago learned that Samuel Insult, Jr. still has an income of $100,000 from four of the corporations that formed a main part of his father's utilities structure, fie receives $20,000 salary each from Commonwealth Edison, Peo ple's Gas, Public Service of Northern Illinois and Mildland United. The el der Insull, it will be recalled, also re ceives pensions totaling $21,000 a year so the family is far from being poverty stricken. Insull said he received a cablegram from an unnamed person warning him that the American authorities were plotting to have him kidnaped and re moved to a country from which he could be Immediately extradited. Re sponsible persons declared this story was ridiculously false. COUNT STEPHEN BETHLEN, for mer premier of Hungary and one of that country'! foremost statesmen, was attacked in a law court In Ruda pest by an assassin but escaped un injured. Louis Eskudt, private seere tary to a former cabinet otlieer, ap proached the count-through the crowd In the courtroom, but a policeman saw a dagger In his hand and seized him as he made a thrust. The motive wna said to be'desirc- to satisfy a private grudge. GERMAN goods, but no German cash. That Is what the foreign creditors of the reich must accept if they expect to he paid what is com I n or tn ? ?o uicai, ucco ru illg to a flat state ment _made by Chan cellor Franz von Fa pen. This meant, he said, that creditor na tions must open their frontiers to German goods, for Germany could not at present bear another drain of money withdrawals by creditors abroad. The chancellor esti mated the foreign in debtedness of the country at $4,000,000,( von Papen denied that Germany's quota policy for the restriction of Im ports was endangering the stability of the relch's currency, "ltestrictlon of Imports was not resolved out of .chican ery but to save German agiculture from certain ruin," he said. In his speech, which was delivered at Paderborn, the chancellor also dis cussed disarmament, asserting tha* "Germany's aim is not to arm up to its neighbors' levels, but to procure world disarmament with equal security and justice. There must not be a system of hegemony or political alliances in Europe but one by which nnth ns can serve humanity in mutual respect of their Individualism." POLICE authorities in Guadalajara, Mexico, after raiding a house, kill ing two men and arresting a priest and two women, announced they had frus Franz von Papcn XX). :nneu eiauoruie pmiis tor a religious upris ing In the stale of Inlisco. The authorl lles said they found i large quantity of rifles, pistols, nmmunl :ion, dynamite bombs, icld equipment, a printing press and considerable printed matter urging the ?ebellion. Ten other iriests were detained ifter being implicated n the nlnt. It is In I Archbishop I Diaz t i the state of Jalisco that the quarrel between Mexico and the Vatican is most pronounced. A pastoral letter by Archbishop Pas cual Diaz, denouncing any attempt at armed resistance by Catholics, was read In all churches . All loyal Cath olics were cautioned by the archbishop to obey the laws of Mexico and to avoid any movement that might be construed as resistance. The pope, the archbishop pointed out, would not approve any departure from peace. FOR the second time Germany re fused to go to Geneva for the pro posed four-power conference to dis cuss her demand for equality of arma ment. Foreign Minister von Neurath informed the British that the decision was Irrevocable. The Germans hold that there is too much French senll ment and Influence In Geneva. Prime Minister MacDonald was not at all pleased with this refusal "Germany" he said, "knows perfectly well that Britain does not oppose her claim to be regarded ns an equal at the disarmament conference. We want disarmament, not rearmament, and the British government is continuing to pursue its purpose." Dispatches from Tokyo said a great shnkeup In the Japanese foreign service was Imminent. The ambassadors from the United States, Moscow. Italy and Turkey already were In the city, and Ambassador Obata was ordered to return from Berlin. The only one of these who will not be replaced, probably. Is Knt suji Debuchi, who will come hack to Washington because Foreign Minister Uchtda cannot find a better man for the post. It was understood the cabinet was about to enter on the dis cussion of the policies to be assumed toward the United Slates. Russia and the League of Nations, and that ? more positive foreign policy would be adopted. The j ress and the rubllc In Japan have been clamoring for a change. T .VO uprisings of convict* occurred early In the week. The first. In Spelgner state prison of Alabama, re sulted In the killing of one convict, the wounding of 2-1 others and the e* cape of one. Warden A. It. Smith dl* played the utmost bravery in dealing with the convicts. The second Instance was In Ports mouth penitentiary, Ontario. The 90C Inmates, demanding cigarette papers and longer hours of recreation, put on a big riot, but were reduced to sub mission without loss of life. e XMl Woetwa Nowtpipsi Lotos.

BURGESS UGHTFOOT'S NEW HORNS PETER RABBIT was puzzled. He stared at Llghtfoot the Deer a wee bit suspiciously. Llghtfoot bad just shown Peter how very fierce be could appear when he wanted to, and now Peter ba&discovered what looked like bits of old fur hanging to Light foot's horns. "Have you been tear Ing somebody's coat?" he asked. He didn't like to think It of Llghtfoot, of whom he always bad thought as be ing quiet as gentle, harmless, and timid as himself. But what else could he think? Llghtfoot slowly shook his bead. "No." said he, "I haven't torn any body's coat." "Then what are those rags hanging on your horns?" demanded Peter. Llghtfoot chuckled. "They are what Is left of the coverings of my new horns," he explained. "What's that? What do you mean by new horns?" Peter was sitting up very straight with his eyes fixed on Llghtfoot's horns as If he never had seen horns before. "Just what I said," retorted Llght foot "What do you think of them? I think they are the finest horns I've ever had. When I get the rest of those rags off they will be as hand some a set of horns as ever was grown | In the Green Forest." Llghtfoot rubbed bis horns against the trunk of a tree till some of the " rags hanging to them dropped off. Peter blinked very hard. He wag trying to understand and be couldn't ? Finally he said so. "What kind of a atory are you trying to fill me up with?" he demanded Indignantly. "Do you mean to tell me that those are not the horns that you have bad as long as I've known you? How can anything hard like these horns grow? And If these are new ones, where are the old ones. The Idea of trying to make me believe that horns grow Just like plants. "I've seen Bossy the Cow all summer and I know she has got the same horns she had last sum mer. New horns Indeed!" "You are quiet right, Peter, quite right, about Bossy the Cow. She never * * I w m# "What Have You Been Hiding For?" Demanded Peter. < has new horns, but that Isn't any rea- ' son why I shouldn't. Is It?" replied Llghtfoot patiently. "Her horns are quite different from mine. I bnre a new pair every year. You haven't 1 seen me all summer, have you, Peter?" "No, I don't remember that I have," replied Peter, trying very hard to re member when he had last seen Light foot. "I know you haven't," retorted Llghtfoot. "I know It because I have been biding In a place you never visit" "What have you been hiding for?" demanded Peter. ^ "For my new horns to grow," re plied I.lghtfoot "When my new horns are growing I want to be away by r myself. 1 don't like to be seen with- I out horns or with half-grown ones. L Besldes, I am very uncomfortable ?? while the new horns are growing and want to be alone." t Llghtfoot spoke as If he really f meant every word he said, but still c Peter couldn't he Just couldn't be- * Ueve that those wonderful great horns g had grown out of Llghtfoot's head In ? a single summer. "Where did you e leave your old horns, and when did , they come off?" he asked, and there was doubt In the very tone of bis c voice. B "They dropped off very early last t spring, but I don't rbmember Just . where," replied Llghtfoot "I was too t glad to be rid of them to notice where g they dropped. You see they were ? loose and uncomfortable and I hadn't f any more use for them because 1 f knew that my new ones would be big- r ger and better. I've got one more | point on each than I bad last year. t Llghtfoot began once more to rub his horns against the tree to get off the queer rags hanging to tbem and to polish the points. Peter watched In silence for a few minutes. Then, all his suspicions returning, be said: , "But you haven't told me anything . about those rags hanging to your t horns." "And you haven't believed what I have already told you," retorted Light- a foot. "I don't like telling things to ' people who won't believe." ?? lilt bvT.W.

There was something wrong about them, as so frequently appears. In the way their noses titled. In the angle of their ears. But you suddenly forgot It, whether fat or whether thin? For no face was ever homely when tt started In to Grin. Though they didn't have the beauty of Adonis and the rest. They'd another sort of beauty that was brotherhood expressed. For a lighthouse may be builded, bulld ed nobly, builded right. But to make the bouse a lighthouse It will have to show a light. And you neighbor wants a neighbor, not a walking photograph; They may talk about your beauty, but they want to see you Laugh. For a fellow Is a failure, with the fea tures of a Greek, If he hasn't any sunshine in bis sys tem, so to speak. I have seen a lot of people who were homely, in a way. But the world forgot about it when they passed the lime of day. I have seen a lot of features that were wrong about a mile. But I never saw a fellow who looked homely with a Smile. e. 1*1!.
