Geneva. Sept. 9.—(A»)—Millions of
1 citizens of t’.ie United States have
''sympathetic hearts and miuds which
approve the great work of the league
of nations is Carrying on,” Sir
George Foster, of Canada, declared
in an address before the league gs
semb’yttoday.
Sir George said the -league's first
great disappointment had been depriv
ation of the active co-operation of the
United States. Many skeptics had
thought the absence of the United
States spelled t’.ie end of the league;
tlint without the United States it
would be impossible for the league to
do effective and continuous work.
“Despite that," he remarked, “we
have continued and have' made our
way forward step by step. Wc have
done that without opposition from the
United States.”
Insisting that taking the population
ns a whole and as individuals “mil
lions parallel us in approbation of
the league's work,” 'he added, that
despite the fact that the United
States docs not officially belong to
the league “we are not without help
and comfort from that quarter.” '
He declared amid applause that
seven years had proved that the league
had entered the present era in world
history ns a great beneficent, endur
ing organization. Nowhere in Cue
world did any doubt exist among
thinking poeple concerning the future
usefulness of the league if it were
wisely managed.

THE ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL
Only Two Children Dismissed Unim
proved in Whole j Year.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh, Sept. 9.—Only two chil
dren were dismissed from- the State
Orthopaedic Hospital in ajh unimprov
ed condition during the post year, ac
cording to the fifth annual report of
the institution made to the board of
trustees, a copy of which has been
sent to the commissioner of public
welfare by R. B. Babington, president
of the board.
Tile hospital which cares for indi
gent crippled children under sixteen,
is doing a most effective kind of pre
ventive work, in taking small children
who are handicapped by some physical
defect and as far as possible giving
them a chance to correct it. In a |
majority of eases, the correction
largely removes the defect, but in
practically all the cases, their condi
tion is" vastly improved, and the chil
dren are trained to care for them
selves.
During the year ending July, 1920,
the hospital cared for 329 children,
and dismissed 237. in an improved
condition. One death occurred, two
were dismissed unimproved, and nix
who had been admitted were not
treated/
The number of hospital days to
talled 24.540, with an average daily
cost per child of $2.80 for care and
treatment. There were 562 opera
! tions and manipulations performed
during the year, and 1,071 minor pro
cedures. Four hundred and sixty
nine X-ray pictures were made.
A wide interest lias been taken by
the people in North Carolina in the
hospital, and gifts of many kinds are
constantly received. The annual re
. i port notei# donations amounting to
‘ two thousand dollars.
) Examinations of 858 children were

BE* OF FRANCE
SAYS BUNKS BACK
FRI VISIT THERE
French People Very An
tagonistic to Americans,
Says Director of Euro
pean Tours. v
SPAIN AND ITALY
ABOUT THE SAME
Does Not Advise Tourists
to Visit Those Countries
Now.—Praise for Au
stria and Germany.
Beware of France, Italy and Spain
is the advice brought back from Eu
rope by H. W. Blanks, director of the
Concord Y tours which returned on
the Leviathan this week from an ex
tended trip, through Europe. Ameri
cans are none too well received in
Eng'and. Mr. Blanks added, but theie
tile feeling of hostility is not so pro
nounced as in France and Italy.
“The American Legion should not
a'tempt to hold any reunion in
France,” was Mr. Blanks’ answer to
a query regarding the advisability of
the Legionnaires going there in 1928.
“The French are antagonistic, they
are jealous, se’fish and exceedingly
ready and anxious to get money in
any possible means" Serious dis
orders would arise during a conven
tion in Paris, Mr. Blanks thinks.
The rank nnd file in Italy did not
show such hostility as was seen on
every hand in France. Mr. B'anks
said, but there was an undercurrent
that could not be mistaken. “And
in addition to this feeling against
Americans,” he said, “there is an
other objection to Italy—women are
never Rate unless with escorts. Men
in Italy will follow women any time
and any place.” f
Mr. Blanks paid his first visit to
Spain while in Europe this summer
and while he marvelled at the beauty
of some of the cities, he was not
favorably impressed with the country.
“Some of the larger cities,” he said,
“are among the most, picturesque and
romantic in all of Europe, but there
are So many evidences of poverty,
dirt and ignorance that I was not im
pressed with the country.” Through
out the interior of the country, he
Raid, he saw no evidence of progress.
"I went form Hes without seeing any
evidences of a house built during the
past 509 years,” he added.
Admitting that most tonrists are
attracted to Europe by old buildings
and different conditions, Mr. Blanks
explained that Spain was the only
country he saw that showed no signs
of progress.
In one town in England the Con
cord party had some trouble getting
accommodations although their reser
, rations had been booked far in ad
vance. “The manager of the hostelry
, told us without hesitation that he did
j not care if we had no place to sleep
and nothing to eat,” the director of
the tours stated. "Later in the night
we were nlmost insulted by some aris
tocrats in old tuxedos who frowned on
us because we wore the raiment of
’ tourists.”
While Rotary clubs have been es
tablished in England they are not as
popular as they are in other coun
tries and notably the United States.
“I attended a Rotary meeting," Mr.
Blanks stated, “and there a fellow
Rotarian told me he had tried to or
ganize a club in a city in which he
formerly lived. He said he asked a
prominent manufacturer to join, ex
plaining that a hardware merchant
nnd a grocer also had been invited.
The manufacturer was astounded that
he had been asked to sit and eat with
a hardware man and a grocer. I was
told that such a spirit, still prevails
in all parts of England, with class
against class and jealousies dominat
ing them all.” This spirit of intol
erance, Mr. Blanks thinks, causes
most of the trouble between the Eu
ropean nations.
Asked the country which impressed
him most Mr. Blanks answered em
phatically “Austria.”
“Although the Germans made Aus- 1
tria bear the brunt of the war, I
found there the happiest people and
the most prosperous looking people I
saw in Europe. In Vienna I saw
well dressed |>eople and while it is a
fact perhaps, that in the smaller
towns and rural sections there is some
poverty, one does not sec many evi
dences of it in Vienna.” Mr. Blanks 1
added that he was cordially welcomed 1
everywhere he went in Austria, the
people apparently being determined to ]
seek the tourist crowds.
Germany also impressed Mr. Blanks
and in this connection he stated that 1
a straw vote taken on the Leviathan |
on the return trip found more of (tie '
tourists aboard favorable to Germany '
than any other country visited. "The
German people apparently have no
grudge against Americans and during
the week I spent there I received
nothing but cordiality and courtesy,”
' Mr. Blanks said that another poll
was taken on the Leviathan in regard
to cancelling the war debts. There
was an overwhelming majority, he
said, against giving France anything.
“Many of the people who voted in the
poll thought the debts of some of the
other nations could be cancelled, but
the vote against France was prac
tically unanimous. This was brought
about by the evidences of robbery and
thievery we experienced in France,
where the people showed every dispo
sition to liold us Up everytime *we
sought to bay anything or do any

John H. Chatt Denounces
Brother Who Puts Li

and Water in Prisons.

Going to Carry Food to
Prisoner and See if Jury
Will Convict Him if He
Is Held For Act.
Oakland. Neb.. Sept. 9.—C4»)—As
sailing his brother, County Judge
Cbatt, because lie sentenced Burt coun
ty law violators to a bread and water
diet, John H. Chatt. 45. Bancroft
farmer, today took the initiative in a
legal fight to free Roy Carson, 35
years old, Bertha farmer, who is ser
ving such a sentence for liquor law
violation.
Chatt, a lifelong friend of Carson,
who is On h s second day of the mea
gre diet, said that if legal steps fail
to niter the sentence, he would at
tempt to bring food to Carson ut the
jail in Tekamah.
“Then we will let a jury tty me for
the offense," he said. “No twelve
men ever would convict me. There
are no twelve men in the xtate who
would let a man starve to death.”
Judge Chatt. in Rochester, Minn.,
where Mrs. Chatt is ill, has used the
bread and Water sentence here for some
time, but Carson and Thos. Nelson,
50, another farmer, attracted atten
tion by making an unsuccessful ap
peal to the state supreme court.
While some physicians said the diet
will not harm them. Dr. Isaiah Luk
ens . former county physician, and
mayor of Tekuiuah, declared they
could not stand the strain.
Nelson had not been taken Into cus
tody. but is expected to start sentence
the latter part of this week.
Chatt's first steps to save Carson
were to employ Richard Hunter.
Ohaha attorney, Harry B. Grand, Des
Moines attorney, an avowed wet. also
telegraphed to offer his services. The
action to be taken has not been decid
ed upon.
The Bancroft farmer describes the
sentence as the- "dirtiest dM I atr
bran) of.” Chatt's deuuncutipn of
his brother brought a sharp exchange
of words with county attorney
Rhodes, who defended Judge Chatt’s
action.
VETOES PROPOSAL
That State Prison Farms Be Con
nected With Dairy Farm.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. o.—l>W |
Governor Mcl*ean, for all his en
thusiasm over the progress of the
dairy industry in North Carolina,
has vetoed the proposal that one of
1 the state prison farms be converted
into a dairy farm.
“It requires intelligence to oper
ate a dairying industry," the Gov
\ ernor emphasized, “and ninety-five
per cent of the state prisoners are
totally unfit for it.”
He said that it might be possible
to entrust dairy farms to prisoners
in some of the northern or estem
states, because of the higher men
tality and training of the majority ot:
the inmates of those prisons, but re
garded it ns extremely impractical to
attempt anything more complex than
