His estate is estimated at something like $500,000,000. FRENCH opposition to the proposed Austro-German customs nccord seems to be effective at least tc the extent of keeping the little entente out of line. The foreign ministers of that entente have stated that all questions concerning the accord must find the countries of the little entente firmly united in their attitude, and what that attitude will be is Indicated by the fact that the Rumanian government has informed Berlin that it does not wish to negotiate with Germany at this time. M. Briand Is being warmly supported by Czechoslovakia.

CHINA has virtually abrogated the extraterritoriality treaties, with- foreign powers, the abrogation to take effect January 1 next Chinese jurisdiction over legal cases Involving foreigners resident In China is to be established, but special courts for such cases will be created In certain areas, including Chiang Kai-shek Shanghai, Tientsin, Mukden and Canton. The mandate to this effect was promulgated by President Chiang Kai-shek's government after negotiations with Sir Miles I.ampson, British minister, for abolition of extraterritoriality had broken down. Foreign consuls In China fenred that communists would find in the action excuse for attacks on foreigners In the interior, and the number of protecting warships at various ports was Increased. President Chiang Kai-shek Is having his troubles with rebels In Canton and with some members of his own Nationalist party. The former are led by Chen Chi-tang, and both they and the conservative Nationalists declare that Chiang must resign the presidency, asserting that he is trying to make himself a dictator.

The provinces of Kwangtung and Kwangsi declared their Independence. PRESIDENT DOUMERGUB opened France's International colonial exposition at Vincennes park on Tuesday, and it is expected that the big show will attract throngs of visitors until It closes at the end of October. In addition to all French colonies, the United States, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Holland, and Portugal are represented. Native life of Indo-China, equatorial Africa, and Madagascar has been reproduced even to the extent of importing 3,000 natives. The United States Is represented by a copy of Washington's Mount Vernon home, and by pavilions for Hawaiian, Porto Rican, Alaskan, and Philippine exhibits.

PRESIDENT CARMONA of Portugal Is comparatively happy now, for the rather serious revolt In Madeira island has been suppressed by the government forces under command of Magalheas Correia, minister of marine. The federal troops bombarded the rebels at Funchal by land, sea and air until they ave up the fight, the leaders taking refuge in the British legation. The casualties were not excessive, but the normal life of Madeira had been greatly disturbed for weeks and the government in Lisbon was really worried for a time. MORE than once Mustapha Kemal Pasha has refused to let the Turks make him President for they are doing it in effect anyway. The other day they elected him for his third term of four years, that action being taken by the national assembly in extraordinary session at Angora, and the vote was unanimous.

Ismet Pasha and the cabinet resigned pro forma and the premier and other ministers were promptly reaDpointed- JAPAN'S foremost aviator, young Seiji Yoshihara, started his solo flight from Tokyo to Washington, D. under the auspices of the Tokyo newspaper HochI Shimbun. HIs: route for the long and perilous journey was laid out to the northern Islands of Japan, thence along the Kuriles to Yoshihara Petropavlovsk, Kamchatka, with two Intermediate landings; from there across the Bering sea and along the Aleutian islands and the Alaskan shore, with stops, to Seward, and then clbwn to Vancouver and Seattle. At the latter city he will change his sea pontoons for landing gear and proceed to San Francisco, after which he hopes to fly to the National Capital to deliver to President.

By EDWARD WHAT alls this old world? What are the causes of the ailments? What can be done about It? These were the questions asked and in various ways a n-swered by scores of the leading men In finance nnd industry from 43 nations, assembled in Washington for the Sitas H. sessions of the Intr-Strawn national Chamber of Commerce. Silas H. Strawn of Chicago, newly elected president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, formally opened the meeting and then Georges Theunis. former Belgian premier and retiring president of the International body, took the The first address was the speech of President Hoover' welcoming the delegates, and the Chief Executive seized the occasion to take another hard wallop at war and armaments.

He said be believed the certain way to restore prosperity was to lighten the burden of national defense which Is now costing the nations more than $5,000,000,000 a year and keeping nearly 5,000,000 men actively under arms. He urged the business men of the five continents to mobilize their influence upon their respective governments to Join in the reduction of armament at the International conference to be held next year under the auspices of the League of Nations. "Of all proposals for the economic rehabilitation of the world," said Mr. Hoover, "I know of none which compares in necessity or importance with the successful result of that conference." M. Theunis submitted a long and exhaustive report on world conditions, in the course of which he said: "I am personally convinced that the commercial policy and the customs tariff in force in most of the countries of the world constitute one of the fundamental causes of our actual economic troubles.

A liberal customs policy might be expected to lead to better business conditions." He thus showed he was in accord with certain prominent members of the United States Chamber of Commerce who at their meeting In Atlantic City called for a tariff revision downward. Melvin Traylor, prominent Chicago banker, electrified his hearers by a scorching attack on commercial leaders and government executives of America. "Ambition, cupidity and greed have dictated policies, and trouble has been the result," he declared. "It Is a tragedy when in a world of plenty there should be so much poverty and when, in i. nation that boasts of its riches, 5,000,000 or more persons willing to work should be unable to find employment It is a challenge to the world and especially to American business and political leadership." Mr.

Traylor's attack began with a criticism of manufacturers who took advantage of technological and management Improvements to swell their output to a point far in excess of the possibilities of consumption. And be was equally severe in his characterization of the methods of bankers and of traders on the floors of the stock and grain exchanges. He urged that floor trading arid small margin accounts be forbidden. TVTR. STRAWN when he addressed the delegates to the international meeting Invited them all to Chicago for the "jubilee" celebration of May 10 to 20, and he received assurance that many of them would attend.

The midwest metropolis had made most elaborate preparations for this affair, the program including festivals in the brightly decorated "loop" district, big parades, dedication of the replica of Fort Dearborn, firs of the Century of Progress exposition buildings, and, to wind up with, the elaborate war game of the air force of the army. PREVAILING i de- pression has. not affected the Boy Scouts of America. The national council celebrated at a. two day meeting in Memphis the close of the twenty-first year of the organ.zation and announced it had been the best and most eventful of all.

President Walter W. Head of Chicago presided at Lord Hampton all the sessions and on the last day Mortimer Schiff, New York banker, was elected president for 193L At a banquet concluding the first day's session Dan Beard, veteran Indian fighter and chief commissioner of Boy Scouts, presented the silver buffalo, highest honor in the gift of the organization, to an English peer and six Americans. Those honored were Lord Hampton, chief commissioner of British Boy Scouts Griffith Ogden Ellis, editor of The American Boj magazine; Lewis Gawtry, New Ik' adtbavia York banker; George W. Olmstead, Pennsylvania public utilities executive; Victor F. Ridder, New York newspaper publisher; Robert P.

Snlf-fen. Yonkers, N. merchandising expert, and Mell Wilkinson. Atlanta (Ga.) merchant and manufacturer. Citations praised them for distinguished service to scouting.

Lord Hampton, long prominent In English Boy Scout work, served with distinction in the World war. He was awarded the Silver Cross for life saving in 1019 and the following year received the award of the Silver Wolf, the British Scout decoration for distinguished service to boys. HERE is something else for certain active opponents of the dry law to ponder upon. The District of Columbia Court of Appeals, in an opinion which takes away from Robert de Francis of Washington tlie citizenship granted him In 1027, holds that a violator of the prohibition act cannot be attached 'to the principles of the Constitution and is not a person of good moral character. The decision reversed the action of the District of Columbia Supreme court which had denied a petition by United States Attorney Leo A.

Rover seeking to set aside Francis' natural-. Ization. TJIS conviction on 11 the charge of ac cepting a bribe having been upheld by the District of Columbia court of appeals, Albert B. Fall says he has decided not to carry the case to the Supreme court of the United States. The former secretary of the interior, it seems, nfust serve the one A.

B. Fall year term In prison to which he was sentenced, and pay a fine of $100,000, unless President Hoover intervenes with a pardon which is the hope of his friends. Fall, Interviewed at his ranch In New Mexico, said his attitude toward a Presidential pardon-was rather passive. "I am an old man," he said. "I am not guilty of the crime of which I was accused.

I had fought until I am worn out and considerations for my family impel me to carry the fight no further." He said he had no money with which to pay the fine and explained he had lost ownership of the ranch on which he lives when a mortgage was foreclosed several years ago. MOTHERS and children and their welfare were the topics of especial consideration during the week throughout the nation. To promote better maternity care for the women of the United States was the object of a big meeting in the Park Lane hotel, New York city, the arrangements for which were in the Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt charge of Mrs. Kermit Roosevelt.

Prominent physicians and health officers as well as many well known women were among the attendants, the latter including Mrs. Herbert Hoover, Mrs. John Sloane, Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs. E.

Marshall Field, Mrs. Jeremiah, Mrs. Samuel; Schiffer, Mrs. Robert L. Gerry, Mrs.

John R. Drexel, Miss Mabel Choate, and Miss Frances Perkins, New York state industrial commissioner. PULITZER prize awards for Hter-: ary. excellence in 1030 have been announced, and there are few if any surprises in the list. The main awards are: Best novel, Mrs.

A gold medal was awarded the Constitution of Atlanta, for meritorious public service in exposing municipal graft. Several young men were given traveling scholarships In journalism. GEORGE FISHER BAKER of New York, reputed to be the richest American banker and the third richest man in the country, who died of pneumonia at the age of ninety-one, was buried Tuesday in Tuxedo Park, N. where he resided. Many persons prominent in finance and in life generally were present at the funeral.

Below The cenotaph In Arlington National cemetery commemorating the 3 army chaplalna of all faiths and creeds who lost their lives In the World war. By, ELMO SCOTT WATSON EMORIAL day is a day for decorating the graves of our warripr dead. Established originally In memory of those who lost their lives during the Civil war, it has been made the occasion for recalling those dthers who died In other wars, and sluce 1018 the day has had a deeper sig nificance for more Americans than ever before.

When we speak of our World war dead, we usually think of the soldiers, Bailors and marines, the fighting men Who gave their lives on the battlefields of France or in the fathomless depths of the Atlantic. But there were others besides soldiers, sailors and marines who also served and died for their country, and it Is fitting that they, too, should be honored on Memorial day. The title of chaplain brings to the mind the picture of a man of peace rather than of a man of war. let, written In the annals of the great conflict of 1914 to 1018 Is the record of more than one example of heroism in battle, of Indifference to danger and of unselfish devotion to duty by these "soldiers of the Cross." And In Arlington National cemetery stands a cenotaph which recalls the fact that 23 chaplains of the United States army, men of all faiths and creeds, gave their lives for their country. On the bronze tablet affixed to this stone marker are inscribed these names Albert D.

Herbert P. Doyla Below the names is Inscribed this epitaph for them "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" and "To you from falling bands we throw the torch be yours to hold it high." In Arlington also stands another memorial recalling the sacrifice of men who served In a branch of the United States service which Is too little known to most Americans. This is the stone obelisk, erected In 192S, in memory of the 192 officers and enlisted men of the "United States coast guard who lost their lives during the World war. The average American citizen, perhaps, thinks of the coast guard mainly in terms of Its newspaper notoriety gained In chasing "rum runners," little realizing that its task of preventing the smuggling of. contraband liquor into this country Is only one of the many services which it performs.

For the coast guard has a record of 140 years of honorable service under Its proud motto of "Semper Paratus" (Always ready) in performing various duties. The coast guard was created by act of congress in 1915 which brought about a merger of the revenue cutter service, and the former life-saving' service. The revenue cutter service, to which the coast guard traces back, was established in 1790 during the second session of the First congress upon the recommendation of Alexander Hamilton, the first secretary of the treasury. The Continental navy had been disbanded at the close of the Revolution and there was no organized armed force to protect the coasts of the new republic and to enforce the customs laws. In every war in which the United Slate participated the revenue cut- 7 ter service, ancestor of the coast guard, performed brilliantly.

During the War of 1S12 its vessels, assisted by small gunboats, protected our coastal trade from the ravages of the hostile ships sent out by Great Britain, "the Mistress of the Seas," to harass our coast towns and our shipping. In the Civil war It had a part in both naval engagements and in blockade work. Thirteen revenue cutters co-operated with the navy and seven with the army during the Spanish-American war. One of these, the McCulloch, helped Dewey at the Battfe of Manila Bay and won special commendation from the admiral and another, the Hudson, took part In the action at Cardenas, Cuba. The officers and the crew of the Hudson were awarded medals by congress for their rescue work of the torpedoboat, Winslow, in this engagement This fine tradition was carried on by the coast guard service during the World war.

On April 11, 1917 President Wilson mobilized the coast guard and the lighthouse service under the command of Uie secretary of the navy for the express purpose of resisting the submarines, which it was virtually certain that Germany would send to attack our coast How real that danger was and the important part which the coast guard played in curbing the ravages of these deadly under-sea fighters was revealed for the first time two years ago when Little, Brown and company published William Bell Clark's book, "When U-Boats Came to America." In addition to operating in home waters, the boats of the coast guard service also served on the other side of the Atlantic. Six of its cruising cutters were sent abroad to join the naval forces in the war zone, principally as ocean escorts working from England to Gibraltar. While engaged in this service, the Tampa was sunk by a submarine and 115 of the coast guard's 192 casualties were recorded as the result of that disaster. Chaplains, coast guardsmen they also served and died. But there is still attofhfrf group whose sacrifices are too little known and whose should be honored on Memorial day.

They are the 271 heroic women, members of the army nurse corps, who laid down their lives. Although none was killed In action, three were wounded by enemy fire. Two lost their lives and one was seriously wounded in an explosion in target practice on one of our transports at sea. A hundred more had a narrow escape from death when the transport on which thev had just embarked had a collision in New V-ork harbor which sent it to the bottom. But pneumonia and influenza caused the death of nearly 180 and overwork, exhaustion and poor living conditions accounted far the deaths of the remainder who gave their lives for their country just as truly as did any soldier who fell In the firing line.

Three members of the army nurse corps received the American Distinguished Service cross. Here are their citations: Miss Helen 6.. McClelland, Base Hospital No. 10, for extraordinary heroism in action while on duty with the surgical team at British Casualty Clearing Station No. 61, British area, France, August 17, 1917.

She occupied the same tent with Miss Beatrice Macdonaid, another reserve nurse, cared for her when wounded, stopped the hemorrhage from her wounds under fire caused by -bombs from German airplanes. Miss McClelland was born In Austlnburgh, Ohio. Miss Macdonaid, a New York girl, received the D. S. C.

also. Her citation reads, in part "During a German night air raid she continued at her post of duty, caring for the sick and wounded until seriously wounded by a German bomb, thereby losing an eye." Miss Isabel! Stambaugh, also on the staff of Base Hospital 10, a Pennsylvania girl, "was seriously wounded while with a surgical team at a British casualty clearing station during the big German drive of March 21, 1918, not far from Amiens. Twenty-four women were given the Distinguished Service medal for exceptionally meritorious service to the government in a place of responsibility.
