Chicago. Nov. 29. Mayor William
jai(- Thompson, of Chicago, did not
.isKy Chicago as the "sixth German
:;y in the world." his attorney, Da
vi,j n. Jackson, declared in his argu-
H,nt before Judge David M. Brothers,
nf the Circuit court, on the demurrer
jjj j 'ho mayor in the latter's $500,000
libel suit against The Chicago Tribune.
That language was quoted in news
papers here as having been used by
the mayor during an interview con
cerning his refusal to invite Marshal
Joffre to become the guest of the city.
Judge Brothers took part in the dis
cussion when Attorney Jackson, read
ing quotations from The Tribune ar
ticle, which formed the basis for the
mayor's suit, came to the alleged quo
tations, "the sixth German city."
"It is your contention," asked the
judge, "that he didn't say it?"
"Yes, it is," replied Attorney Jack
son. Attorney Weymouth Kirkland here
interjected that "there were six people
present when he said it."
The court also questioned Attorney
Jackson on the latter's argument that

Marshal Joffre's party to Chicago be
cause .precedent required that the in
vitations come from the city council.
"Did he ask the council to invite
them?" asked Judge Brothers; The
answer was a negative.
Attorney Jackson said more than
once that reporters had "coaxed" May
or Thompson into making statements
that would suit their own purposes.
"Nobody," said the judge, "ever has
accused the mayor of being an infant
that needed to be 'coaxed.' "

To Cure a Cold
in One Day
Take fil
t
London, Nov. 29, (By the Associated
Press) Increasing attention is given
by the London press to President
Harding's suggestion of an "asocia
tion of nations" through a series of
international conferences, the conclu
sions of which would be observed un
der a "gentlemen's agreement" rather
than by treaty.
The Times, in its editorial columns
today, says that Mr. Harding's concep
tion of the principles underlying such
an association has in itself "a tonic
effect." The newspaper adds:
"t is heartening to know that the
President, inspired by the results of
the Washington conference, is already
looking forward to a future from which
the possibility of active co-operation by
America in the solution of acute in
ternational problems is not excluded."
The Morning Post says: "The Pres
ident's aspiration demands serious and
respectful consideration. . . . Any
method whereby America can bring to
bear her vast influence for the res
toration of civilization is most wel
come. We have always maintained
that, had the United States found her
self able to enter the proposed defen
sive alliance with France and Great
Britain, the peace of the world might
have been assured for the 50 years . . .
As for the existing League of Nations,
in default of the adhesion of America.
it is impossible for it to fulfill the
purpose of its existence.
The Post, however, expresses itself
as being not a strong believer in any
league or association, and it is espe
cially enamoured for the present pro
ceedings in Washington. It disap
proves Great Britain's suspicion of
warship building and says:
"The debates in Washington begin
to bear a disuietmg likeness to the
Hague conferences, which nearly
brought disaster to Great Britain."
Interest in and sympathy with "the
growing movement in America for
greater participation in world affairs"
is expressed by The Daily News, which
says that the refusal of the United
States to enter the League of Nations
was never regarded in England as prooT
of her intention to return permanently
to the policy of isolation, which the
war temporarily made impossible. The
newspaper advocates early revision of
the peace treaty with Germany and
says that American help in such re
vision would be invaluable. It hopes
that, when this is done, the United
States will join the League of Na
tions, which will then be free of its
trammels."
