’ / - ~ * § = NEWS REVIEW OF Europe Worried by Prospect of War Between Poland and Lithuania. - By EDWARD W. PICKARD \ YAR drums were beating again in '¥ Europe and there was “alarm In the chancelleries” last week. Marshal Pilsudski, dictator of Poland, dis played renewed intention of attack- ing Lithuania, and the Lithuanian troops were being concentrated at tier. Germany was wor- ried and the Berlin foreign office of- fered to mediate and warned the Pol- sh minister to Germany. Plludski was as “I'll march into Lithuania's capital of Kevne in September at latest.

The German official fear was that this army, fully equipped, would be used by Pilsudsk! to carry out his threat and that if the Poles once got a foot- hold in Kevne their next step would be the invasion of East Prussia, which is separated from the fatherland by the Danzig corridor. Berlin sent a pote of warning to Warsaw and also asked France to help preserve peace, but meanwhile the Poles were serving out ammunition to thé troops along the Lithuanian berder and the police partly closed the frontier. Lithuania is frankly counting on the support of Boviet Russia if open warfare results, a considerable extent, berlain and M. Briand, foreign min- isters respectively of Great Britain and France, have been working on an agreement to end naval construction rivalry between the two nations, and last week It was formally announced that this had been accomplisifed. Each government Is to communicate to the other at least a year in advance Its paval building program and desires, and the fleets of the two countries are to be complementary and not an- tagonistic. . England and France have taken this action as founder members of the League of Nations The agreement apparently has to do largely with the size of cruisers and the question of submarine con- struction, matters on which the United States did not agree with England and France at the naval con- ference in Geneva. It was sald both sides tried to avoid anything that might annoy the American govern- ment, but that some objection was ex- pected from Washington on the clause relatifg to the size of cruisers. A compromise was reached on the ques- tion of limitation by the total ton- nage or the category system. It was sald in Paris that proposal for another naval conference would be discussed when Secretary of State Kellogg, Sir Austen Chamberlain, M. Briand and delegates from Italy and Japan meet there to sign the Kellogg treated outiawing war, The British wish such a parley to be called by the United States. MERICA'S Independent action in granting tariff autonomy to China is having the expected effect in bring- ing other powers around to the same position, Shanghal reported that France had notified the Nationailst government of its willingness to make a new ‘tregty, that Great Britain was soon to open negotiations to the same end and that the Japanese govern- ment had decided to modify its posi tion.

Japan denled that it had forbidden Manchuria to unite with China, merely asking it to defer a de cision.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE, after de- 1ifering an excellent address at the unvelling of the monument to Col William Colvill, hero of the battle of Gettysburg, at Cannon Falls, Minn, made another excursion from the sum: mer White House later in the week. Accompanied by Mrs Coolidge and their son, John, the President visited the iron range of northern Minnesota under the escort of W. A. McGonagle, president of the Duluth, Northern railway. They saw the big mines at Hibbing, Virginla and other places, the huge Virginia Raloey Lake lumber mill, and other sights of Island lodge. — Smith both returned, from their vacations, the one in northern Call- fornia, where he found the fishing in- different, and the other on Long Is land, where he had good swimming. While Mr. Hoover put the 6Onishing touches to his notification address his campaign managers carried forward their plans to try to break the solid South. They professed to have real hopes of accomplishing this but were beld back somewhat by the question of funds. They feel that about all the meney they can ralse will be needed in the East and Middle West, Democratic campaign managers are concentrating to a considerable ex- tent on capturing the farm vote, and George N. Peek, farm leader of the McNary-Haugen persuasion, visited Governor Smith and Chalrman Raskob and told them how, In his opinion, gome of the Middle Western states might be wrested from the Republican column, The Presidential candidate has not indicated how far he will go in satisfying the disaffected farm leaders, and thé chairman was still studying ibe equalization fee. Defections from parties by individ uals continue about equal, apparent- ly. Last week Vance CO. McCormick of Harrisburg, Pa. former Democrat fe national chalrman, announced he would support Hoover because of the prohibition issue; and Brig. Gen. Wil- liam Mitchel, retired, declared himself for Smith, saying the Republicans had been dishonest, selfish, Inefficient and hypocritical and deserved to be turned out. William Allen White of Emporia, Kan., who dug up Al Bmith's record as a member of the New York legis lature and speaker of the house and based a lot of accusations thereon, drew from Smith a spirited rejoinder and then withdrew hls charges con- cerning Smith's record “in so far as they affect his vote on gambling and prostitution, but not his position as to the saloon.” (CORSTERNATION prevalled in the swift sets of New York when a fed- eral grand jury returned Indictments against 138 persons connected with the night clubs of the city for viola tion of the dry laws.
