International law, Including rules governing the procedure In war. The declaration of London failed of ratification and it is necessary to hark back to the declaration of Paris of 1853 for any rules which are now recognized. The World War almost obliterated even that agreement and the nations of the world may be likened to a fleet of rudderless ships sailing uncharted sens. Unless some general international agreement is reached governing procedure in war, that wo shall sooner or later come to grief Is as nearly certain as anything human can be. And such a code must be made by all at Interest and not by a special few. There should be none left on the outside to nurse their heartburnings and to foment trouble when the time is propitious for it. And when this assembly meets there should be no nation missing when the roll is called, if it is to express the moral, economic and spiritual yearnings of mankind.—Copyright, 1921, By Public Ledger Company.

CHICAGO, Dee. 29. —Lawyers are ..-resiling today with the problem of dividing one of the largest fortunes in the world as the aftermath of the rapid-fire divorce obtained yesterday by Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick from' Harold F. McCormick, head of the International Harvester Company. Settlement of the vast properties Involved, it was learned, has not even approached completion and it may be months before the final details of adjustment are worked out. No mention of property settlement was made in connection with the*divoree proceedings. Both Mr. and Mrs. McCormick maintained silence. “TOO PERSONAL” SAYS MCCORMICK. ”lt is entirely too personal a matter to talk about,” wan the word sent to newspaper men by McCormick while Mrs. McCormick refused to issue a statement or to talk with interviewers. The head of the Harvester Company and his former wife were attendants last night at the performance of Salome by the Chicago Opera Company. Neither gave any indication of perturbation over their domestic disruption. They occupied boxes at opposite sides of the “Diamond Horseshoe” and neither manifested by so much as a glance any knowledge of tho presence of the other. *■ According to friends of both Mr. arid Mrs. McCormick, the property settlement will involve estates amounting to millions. McCormick’s fortune is estimated at $50,000,000, while no one knows how inn h Mrs McCormick will Inherit from her father, John D. Rockefeller, the world's richest man. She and John D.

One report asserted that the only point at issue in the settlement is the possession of the McCormick home at Lake Forest, a North Shore suburb. Mrs. McCormick, it is understood, retains the town house In Lake Shore Drive, but wishes the Lake Forest mansion also. McCormick, who now occupies the Lake Forest home, is said to desire to retain it.
