FRENCH STUDENTS PROTEST LOSS OF DEAN AT S9RB0NNE Police and Mounted Guards Held in Reserve to Quell Impending Riotsin University. Paris, March 31. The suspension today, of Dr. Louis Berthelemy, dean of the Sorbonne law faculty, growing out of the rioting by royalist and con servative republican students of the University of Paris on Saturday, caused unusual student effervescence in the Parisian Latin quarter this afternoon. Projects are under way for anti-government manifestations tonight or tomorrow. Royalist students were ready to stage a protest this afternoon, but the presence of a large group of com munists dissuaded the 'king's hench men," as the royalists are called. Sizable forces of police and mount ed guards were held In reserve to cope with an3' large demonstrations. After singing songs critizing Georges Scelle, the international law professor, who, the students assert, was imposed upon the school by the French government, the young men dispersed, shouting: "Resign Scelle," "Shame on Herriot," The . students then went to Dr. Berthelemy? house, where they shouted their loyalty to him. The trial of the Sorbonne students who participated in Saturday's dem onstration resulted in one medical student being sentenced to 15 days in prison and to pay a fine of 50 fanes for "violence and rebellion." Others being first offenders, received fines. American students of the Univer sity of Paris law school are wonder ing whether their home universities will accord them credits for the wck they have done if all the law courses are stopped, as was announced today would be done. About 50 Americans have been tak ing the law course in the university. American international law, design ed for discussion by the internation al commission of jurists, which is to meet some time this year in Rio de Janeiro, were made public today by ! the Pan-American union. J They range from a proposal to out ; law wars of conquest among Ameri can republics to the writing of an admiralty code for commercial navi gation of the air. Taken together. end assuming ratification of all 30 treaties, they represent a sweeping scheme to establish the solidarity of those republics in a "community of nations" on a legal basis that begins ; with a bill of rights of nations and I includes complete and intricate raa ; chinery for the pacific settlement of j disputes. One project contemplates expan- sion of the Monroe doctrine into a covenanted foreclosing j the territory of the republics to ac quisition or occupation on any terms by a non-American power. Another I defines the measures of repression that may be taken "to avoid resort to arms" in settlement of disputes among the republics themselves. Still another writes into law the principle that each nation shall have sole con- I trol over its immigration policies. The draft conventions were formu lated on invitation of the governing board of the union and have already been distributed through the union to the foreign offices of all the na tions concerned. They were drawn by a committee of the American In stitute of International Law headed by James Brown Scott. The proposal to outlaw wars of conquest is probably the most un precedented as it is almost the brief est of the draft conventions. It de clares that future acquisitions of ter ritory "by means of war or under the menace of wnr or in pre-nce of an armed force, to the detriment of any American republic, shall not be lawful." Further, the convention would declare that title to territory thus obtained would be "null in fact and in law." MONROE DQGTRNE EXPANSION URGED Pan-American Union Has Sweeping Scheme to Join American Republics. "Washington. March 31. Thirty draft conventions for codification of Governor McMullen, Monday morn ing received a telegram from a farm er, John E. Spelts of Grant, Neb., stating that the army worms are taking all the wheat In that section of the state. The governor referred the telegram to M. H. Swenk, state entomologist who investigated condi tions there and after making a num ! ber of inquiries submitted the follow ing report: ! "The outbreak is that of the in- j Beet known as the army cut-worm, and began about ten days ago. The j territory in which the insects are active has spread since the outbreak to include Kimball, northern Morrill, Cheyenne, Banner and Perkins coun ties. The same area infected by this pest, has spread down thru north eastern Colorado into Kansas. This is the same insect that in 1915 de stroyed 100,000 acres in Montana. "The insect will continue to work thruout the first of April. Its activi ties will be confined mostly to fields of winter wheat and alfalfa. At about the middle of April the insect ceases its destructive work and goes into the ground where it changes to a moth. During the latter part of March U. and June there will be enormous fiights of these morns in regioiid where the worms are now working. "The pest is fought by distribut ing poison bran bait which is thinly broadcast in the late afternoon and evening over the infested fields. The remedy is manufactured as follows: Take 100 pounds of coarse wheat bran to which add either 4 pounds of Paris green or 5 pounds of white arsenic and to this mixture add 2 pounds of salt. Mix the ingredients together well while dry after which water is added to make a wet but not sloppy mixture. After the ingre dients have been thoroughly stirred together, a half gallon of molasses should be added and stirred in well. "The mixture may be broadcast on the infected fields with a broad cast seeder or by hand but in either case only a light layer is necessary." Mr. Swenk said that all of the county agents of the counties in the infected area are co-operating with the farmer to bring about the de struction of th pest. blew over the coop. The gipsy moths flew away and merged themselves in- to the Massachusetts landscape. This small Incident launched a new cam paign in the thousand-year war. The gipsy moths, which are quite harm less in their native Europe, multi plied in America to a prodigious ex tend. Harper's.

Presi dent Coolidge i still unresponsive to suggestions from any quarter that the administration policy with re gard to Russia be changed. He sees no warrant for present consideration of proposals to recognize the soviet government, as conditions which have continuously prompted denial of recognition remain the same. Neither does he believe that recent developments bearing on the attitude of the other powers toward recogni tion necessitates a review of the American attitude. Ever since the retirement of Sec retary Hughes, who was an irrecon cilable foe to recognition of the so viet, there have been recurring re ports that a change of policy was im pending. From various sources in creasing pressure has been brought to bear on the White House to in duce the president to alter the Amer ican attitude toward Moscow. Yesterday, Chairman Borah, of the foreign relations committee, one of the leading advocates of recognition, had luncheon at the White House, and today Senator King, democrat, Utah, who. also has opposed the pres ent policy on the senate floor, had a long talk Tith the president. Despite the arguments that have been laid before him, however, Mr. Coolidge believes the time for recog nition has not arrived. Washington, March 31.

Mrs. Willebrandt declared proper co-operation between government agencies in prohibition enforcement was lacking, but declined to express her opinion on the proposal that the prohibition unit be placed under the department of justice instead of the treasury department.
