Advocated by
J
Iowa Senator
A. B. Cummins Supports Pro
posal for 1 niled States Mem
bership in Address at
Des Moines.
By Associated Preen.
r>*« Moines, May “S.—Unqualified
approval of the world court under the
conditions laid down by President
Harding, was voiced today by Sena
tor A. B. Cummins, of Iowa, in an
address here before the Conohus club.
After an explanation of the pro
visions for a permanent court of in
ternational justice ns outlined in nr
tide 14 of the league of nations
covenant. Senator Cummins declared:
"So far as my personal views are
concerned, I have no hestitatlon in
saying that it is my judgment that
the United Stales and every other
power should agree to this compulsory
Jurisdiction.
"I have always been ready to sub
mit to any properly constituted inter
im' ional tribunal any controversy
of a justifiable character that may
arise between the United States and
other nations. But it seems to be
the long and well established convic
tion of the senate, as expressed in
nearly all of our arbitration treaties,
to moke certain exceptions. In har
mony witit what is known to lie the
attitude of the senate upon this mat
ter, the proposal of the president
that we shall adhere to and support
the permanent court international
justice excludes the feature of com
pulsory jurisdiction.
"It would not seem that there can
he any serious danger in an under
taking of that sort.”
Bandits Div ided
Into 2 F actions

Shanghai. May 28.—The Chinese
bandits at Paot-Zuku. who held 14
foreigners, including several Ameri
cans, prisoner, as well as 100 Chinese,
have divided into two factions, ac
cording to advices from Lincheng.
One faction is willing to mediate an
agreement for the release of their
foreign captives, while the other fac
tion is so hostile that they fired upon
a mediating party coming to confer
on terms. Fortunately none was in
jured.
The situation as a result of the
deadlock of the two bandit factions
remains In practically the same state
it has been since the foreigners were
kidnaped 23 days ago.
No reports of additional clashes be
tween the government troops and the
bandits has been received, although
heavy reinforcements have been
brought up and more are arriving.
In addition, two airplanes from
Pekin have arrived in response to the
tequest of Tuchun Tien of Shantung
province, who favors securing release
of the prisitiers by force.
According to latest advices from
Tsao-Chwang, the negotiations of J.
B. Powell, American newspaper man,
have proven fruitless. Powell was
permitted to come out of the bandit
stronghold under heavy escort and re
turned with new terms from the Chi
nese government.

‘‘Ala Americaine” Craze
Taking Paris by Storm
Famous Restaurants, Including “Lucas,” Hire Ameri
can Cooks—Frenchmen Insist on United States
Tailored Clothes—Theatrical Missionaries
Literally Take Over Night Life.
By tnlreri.nl Service.
Puis, May iiS.—With 40,000 Ameri
cans congregated in France, mostly in
Paris, the a la Amerkaine" craze has
hit Paris with redoubled fervor. Even
the sober-minded section of the French
populace has yielded to the popular
liking for things American.
Two famous restaurants, including
"Lucas," for many years the head
quarters for connoisseurs in eating
and drinking, have gone so far as to
hire American cooks, overriding all
gastronomical traditions.
The smartest Frenchmen now insist
on American tailoring. American
broad-brimmed hats are strictly mod
ish and several boulevard haberdash
ers are even displaying American
short-length underwear, hitherto one
of tlie principal stock jokes of Paris
comics.
Contributing to this capturing of
the old by the new is a group of
missionaries, mostly theatrical, who
have literally taken possession of all
the cherished landmarks in the fash
ionable night districts. The Dolly
sisters have opened the "Ambassu
deurs," and Saturday night were giv
en a great ovation.
Harry Pilcer runs the Champs Ely
sees supper dance and Florence Wal
ton is scheduled to open the Marigny
theater Thursday, while her former
husband, Maurice, is still triumphing ’
with I.enore Hughes at "My Sister's
Garden."
Itoy Barton and Jack Edwards are
a tremendous hit at the Casino de
Paris. Paul Whiteman is booked to
open the beautiful "Hermitage," and
will afterward go to Deauville. A
dozen lesser American acts are ad
vertised at different restaurants and
theaters, including the American
"Midnight Frolics." which is exclu
sively in the English language, bift
more redolent of Pall Mull than Broad
way.

Pace Too Rapid
Bin iim Now for Furrmt
NcvmI* Than Future—Labor
Big Problem.
n> AuMrialffl Pr«».
New York. May 2R.—A change In
sentiment rather than in underlying
conditions marked the past work in
tlie country's leading financial mar
ket*. While more favorable sentiment
with regard to the general business
outlook doubtless has been induced,
to a certain extent at least, by the
pronounced recovery in the stock mar
kff't, there is evidence also that a
more sober expectation of the facts
has had its effect.
Advices from the steel trade have
beep reassuring, commodity markets
have firmed up, renewed interests in
metals has been reported and rail
road freight, traffic has further ex
panded. Mercantile trade agencies,
furthermore, while still dinging to
caution In their reports, are more
prone to attribute sueh slackening as
has appeared in trade to natural sea
sonal influences.
Rusiness is coming around to recog
nize what has been patent for mm"
time, namely, that the pace has been
a hit too rapid to be maintained with
out Interruption. Ruying is now more
for current needs than for the future,
but the belief is growing that with
the summer d'gestive period over, de
mand withh become more Insistent,
What the fall will bring remains to
he seen and much depends on how
the labor situation shapes itself.
Even the latter is not without its
ray of hope. While strikes and
threats of strikes undoubtedly are
becoming more frequent and the
w'eek has brought further wage in
creases, notably on a large railroad
system, it is known that labor lead
ers. particularly in the building
trades, ate showing a mote concilia
tory sprit. It Is believed that they
are becoming alarmed lest the situa
tion get out of hand as it did in 191!)
and that too much prosperity may
kill off all prosperity. They do not
want their men to increase their de
mand to the extent that activities will
be curtailed or cease entirely. It
wouuld appear that announcement of
a bandomnent if building plans is hav
ing a salutory effect on those guiding
labor’s destinies.
