DOORS OPEN TO FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS United States Has Kindly Interest in Russia. ISOLATION GOES ON Hughes Note Sets Up Minimum Terms for Change. SDeclai to Indiana Daily Time, and Philadelphia Public Ledger." Bi FKIIIKKKK WILLIAM WILIL WASHINGTON, May 17.—Refusal of the United States to attend The Hague post mortem over Genoa does not close the door to American participation in g later conference or conferences dealing with Russia. Statements to that* significant effect were forthcoming at the White House following the bi-weekly meeting of the Cabinet. They were afterward repeated and amplified at the State Department. They may be authoritatively interpreted as signifying that the United States has not turned its hack on the Russian problem—that, on the contrary, America is ardently deelrotis of assisting the Russian people In “coming back" and in promoting European economic restoration in general. If conferences are called that promise more bopefnl results in thst direction than the Genoa meeting held out, or that The Hague “wake" ofTers, American cooperation is not likely to be invoked Id vain. It is now “up to" Europe and soviet Russia to supply convincing rroofs on that score. Meantime, our Isolation, however unsplendld It may seem <to Europe, would be maintained. It. vras made rlaln in Washington that everything depends on the “feasibility” of our participation in future conferences. It will not be held feasible by President Harding. Secretary Hughes or Soertary noover if soviet Russia adheres to the program laid down In Its Genoa uiemorandu mos May 11. If that manifesto remains the soviet’s last word as terms for dealing with the outside world, the United States will contlnne to remain aioof. America would consider negotiations on such a basis, rheer time-wasting and would not enter Into them. DIPLOMATIC STYLE * IS APPROVED. The rapid-fire diplomacy exhibited by President Harding and Secretary Hughes commends genral approval in Washington. There are few cases on record disclosing such speedy disposal of foreign proposals of first-class magnitude. Within twenty-four hours of the Genoa message's arrival at the State Department, our answer to it was drafted and transmitted to Italy. Secretary llughea prepared it, practically upon a first reading of The Hague proposal. Ho submitted it to President Harding, received the lattr's unqualified assent, and cabled it to Ambassador Child without delay. Iloth the matter of the American reply and the expeditious manner in which It was di.'patched are evidence that the United States’ mind on the Russian situation is clearly made up. Secretary Hughes was enabled to send Instantaneous word to Genoa, because what America had to say she has said before, and because she has little to add to It. The one new thing was our conviction that The Hague is merely Genoa under a different name. MAIN" INTEREST TO EMBROIL I*. S. Both the executive branch of the Government and Congress are persuaded that Europe's main interest, however disguised, in embroiling us in the Russian problem is to induce us to become the financial end of any reconstruction arrangement. Europe cannot put up any money. The United States can. It is purely because of that realization, Washington authorities are convinced, that Europe is so bnrningly anxious to ensnare us, by hook or crook, into the Russian business. Meantime, ths HughesHoover school of thought on the subject pr<‘dominates. That school insists thst until within Russia itself there is established a “basis of productivity" that offers stable conditions for credit, guarantees the rights of property and protects the sanctity of private contracts, ail talk of Internationa! relations with Russia, in either a political or economic sense, is moonshine. To be noted is the stress which the latest Hughes pronouncement once again lays upon America's Interest in “the Russian people." It is with their weal end woe, not with the fate of the soviet government, that the United States Is concerned. The Hughes note to the Genoa conference affords no encouragement to those like Senator Borah, who urge recognition of the soviet government. There is undoubtedly a wide division of sentiment on that score in and out of Congress. If the Borah recognition resolution is taken from the table of the Senate atd pressed to a vote, there might be a not inconsiderable measure of support for it. Pome Democratic sentiment la raid to exist in favor of recognition, but no one believes there would be even approximately enough to pass the resolution. It would encounter vigorous hostility from tha Harding Administratoin, unless In the meantime there is that sweeping regeneration within Russia which alone, in the estlTßt.S'in of Secretaries Hughes and noover would make American relations with that country thinkable.—Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Company.

Chairman Madden of the House Appropriations Committee put up a dogged and nearly successful battle against the New York bill entailing expenditures of $514,000.

J, Horace MacFarland, master printer, of Harrisburg, will be one of the prominent figures at the second national conference on State parks to open at the Bear Mountain Inn, Palisades Interstate Park, New York, on May 22. The first conference was held In Des Moines In January, 1021. The conference aims to promote interest throughout the country in the creation of State parks. Judge John Barton Payne, chairman of the American Red Cross and formerly Secretary of the Interior, will be chairman of next week's meeting, and Stephen H. Mather, director of the National Park Service, will be among the principal speakers. Mr. MacFarland, Pennsylvania representative at the conference, is nationally renowned for his campaigns for the preservation of Niagara Falls and for national park development. Word come* to Washington that Lord Lee of Fsrebsra, first lord of the British admiralty, who represented the British navy at the armament conference Is gravely “peeved over the failure of the oversa dominions to shoulder their share of Imperial naval burdens. In a speech last week before the colonial Institute in London. Lord T*e reproved Canada, Australia and the other “daughter nations” for allowing the hard-pressed or “mother country” to carry unassisted the still gigantic burdens of empire defense at sea. He eald the imperial government had deiberatey deferred consideration of imperial navy contribution from the dominions until after the results of the Washington conference were known. Althoug they now are fully known, the dominions give no sign of willingness to come to the relief of the imperial treasury. “Great Britain has had uo word of comfort or offer of help from oversea," Lord Lee lamented, “confronted instead Signs of drastic reductions of even the slender dominion fleets hitherto maintained," The lord did not mince the words of his disappointment. He left It plainly to be inferred that Mother Britain expects every daughter nation to do It* duty. JOKE ON DIPLOMATS.

BY MARIAN" HALE. Some faces respond kindly to photography. Others do not. But If you are like the majority of naif your photographs always look pitifully like yourself instead of like the glorious creature you would be If your thoughts could make yotf so—do not lose heart. For the fault lies not with you but with the camera. Yours is a personality of many complexes, aU of which no mere machine can catch. You need a more personal medium. Perhaps you will be more truthfully portrayed by a kalogram. A kalogrura suggests your personality, but does not tell everything about your face. Kalogratng are the specialty of Julie Brown. New Y'ork artist. * With the letters of your name and five minutes' conversation with jou, Mtss Brown has all the material she needs. But sometimes the composition takes several days. • • • Kalograms got their start this way. One night Miss Brown read that a man attempted suicide. Investigation revealed the despondent person was an artist who painted soul portraits in the natural colors. Evidently soul painting was no easy task, or had been highly unremunerafive, for after a few attempts the artist had been ready to end it all. Miss Brown felt no urge to follow In his footsteps, but she did share his Ideal —to paint something besides features. She had always believed personalities were more interesting than the convention* [assortment of eyes and chins. "The details of a face always escape me, but the person ilty makes a deep impression." she explains, “I remember people’s likes and dislikes and their fads and forget bow they looked. “8o I began to expertme.nl with the drawing of a personality, and finally conceived the Idea of drawing It with the letters of the name. "Up to this time my particular branch of art had been the making of silhouettes. I had made one for practically every actor and actress In New York and I made thousand lu France for soldiers. “I tried out the kalogrsra Idea on tha theatrical people, and they liked it. They used kalograms on their stationery and for book plates and pictures. “Then, quite unexpectedly, the Idea became very popular, and now everyone wants a kalogram. For stationery aoxne people like a conventional arrangement like the one I made for Anne Morgan. “When Molla BJursted. the tennis ehatnplon, married and became Molla Mallory, she changed her kalogram as

well as her name. Now she bas one for professional and on* for borne use. “Marlon Campbell Isn't a professional woman, but she Is an enthusiastic motorist. So her kalogram Indicates that." When I left Miss Brown she was making a kalogram for Ed Wynne. "Now there's a real problem," she admitted. “trying to make a picture out of seven letters—but give me time, I'll get It.” PROPAGANDA ON PARTY POLICIES IS ANONYMOUS Delegates to Democratic State Convention Receive Letters and Pamphlet.

FOLLOWED OLD CUSTOM, CASS’ FRIENDS SAY Claim Accused Employe of Postoffice Was Made Scapegoat. Unusual Interest ig being taken in the case of Charles N. Cass, formerly clerk In charge of special delivery boys at the Indianapolis postoffice, charged with embezzlement, which Is set for trial before Judge Albert B. Anderson In Federal Court, June 2. \ Through the same aet of circumstances which resulted In the Indictment cf Cass, seventeen supervising officials of the Indianapolis postofflco, many of them veterans In the service, were called upon last week t.y postoffice inspectors to make up a *hortage of $631.28, although no charges of criminal intent were made against them. 'Through an error it was stated in the Indiana Daily Times last Saturday that Cass had entered’a plea of guilty and received sentence. This is not the case as Cass has protested his iunocence from the first and his friends insist he has received unfair treatment from postal officials and that the trial will bring out tha fact he lias bden made the scapegoat for a system which has existed In tha postoffice for many years past. Iu support of this position they point out that seventeen supervising officials of the postoffice, many of them veterans In the service and occupying positions of trust and importance, have been called upon by pot.toffice inspectors to tfiako up a shortage of $631.28 growing out of the game set of clurcumstances for which Cass was Indicted. They point out supervising officials, while held responsible In the matter, were not accused of dishonesty and Cass himself was Innocent of any Intent to defraud the Government in the transactions In which he was involved. The shortage which resulted In tb* Indictment of Cass and the demand upon the seventeen supervising offifelal* to make lip $631.26, grew out of the method followed for many years, so friends of Cass say, of using the eight-cent delivery fee which tiie Government saves when a specinl delivery letter Is called for at the postofflce. For many years It has been th# accepted custom at ths postoffice to take the money accruing from this snvlng and use it to pay fees to special delivery boys who have made unsuccessful attempts to deliver improperly addressed letters, for which they are allowed no pay under th* law. Postofflc* officials say no objections to this system of using the money was made for many years, and Cass and his friends insist he was only following the established custom when he made the payments out of this fund which resulted In his Indictment. The supervising officials decided to pay the money deinauded of them by the Inspectors under protest. Jacob Stump Dies of Heart Trouble TERRE nAT TE, Ind..

NEW YORK, May 17.—Overtures hav* been made recently to several New York banking houses for an American loan of $100,000,000 to Rouinania. “Could there be any connection between this proposed loan and the spreadheads on tha first pages of th* metropolitan press announcing frorr Bucharest that Queen Marie may f ego her coronation this fail in order t. --isgit the United States’/” was asked today. The dispatch stated “invitations from friends and petitions from women’s clubs and civic societies are pouring in on her so fast she finds It difficult to resist them,” adding, however, the Roumanian government would prefer the Queen receive a formal Invitation from the White House in order there might be no mistake concerning her status. On the same ship with Mary Gerden last autumSP* there came to America a young woman who said it was her mission to “sound out’’ a welcome for charming Queen Marie of Roumaula. William F. (“Bill”) Clark, veteran student of politics, was talking with Ernest Harrier, also an oracle on state craft, today in the Waldorf, and the question came up as to the best method by which an officeholder cou’d keep permanently in contact with the public payroll. Clark said: “First, know nothing. Second, do nothing, and third, say nothing-" The motion picture popularity contest, which closed last week with Billie Burke us ''Queen," netted tlje New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor about SIIO,OOO, which is ample to cover the deficit iu the annual budget of this most charity. James G. Blaine, Jr., who assisted Mrs. Cortland D. Barnes is stage-managing the affatr from 1 East Fifty-Seventh street, said this morning: “Too much praise for tha success of the drive cannot be given Mrs. Barnes and our president, Cornelius N. Bliss. It went through In the last intensive hour and a half, when SOO,OOO was raised, and two rival Interests got bidding against each other. In other cities than New York I sho'uld say popularity contests between society leaders would do better than motion picture stars, and success depends on getting friends of the contestants to attend some closing affair like a ball." Mary Carr, the Fox motion picture star, who stood second In the popularity contest, only fulling away from the lead by the avalanche of votes cast for Florenz Ziegfeld's pretty wife. Is the radiating center of “Silver Wings,” anew film production which has premier presentation in New Y’ork. In New Y’ork City there are about forty Japanese women. “We have a club of our own," said Mrs. Y'oza Tamura, wife of the representative In the United States of the South Manchuria Railway Company, “and meet from time to time for a discussion of ways to help each other understand the great country where we are living. I have my little daughter at tho girls’ school where there are seven Japanese altogether. No, we Japanese parents do not care to have our children segrated at school, for In that instance they would learn nothing of American customs anil the English language." It is Interesting to speculate upon what the metnhers of the Japanese women's club do talk about when they i meet. A shorthand report of their gosalplngs would make good reading. "That man looks like a eagerly questioned a matronly woman as a a tout man with a huge diamond In his tie made toward a table In the Oak room of a leading local hotel. “He's only an oil millionaire from Texas,” answered her well posted friend. The historic Oracle mansion, on the crest of Horni Hook, overlooking the East River at Eighty-Eighth street, Is still in the absolute custody of tho pork department of the city of New York i owing to the failure of the State legisla- j

ture at Its last session to enact legislation transferring it to the care of a society (mown as the Patriotic New Yorkers. It was the third time the bill hag been Introduced Into the legislature, and It will be reintroduced at the next session, the argument for Its passage being the precedent of the old Faunce's Tavern, given over to the Sons of the Revolution; the Van Cortlandt home, to the Colonial Dames and other famous Rouses of the past which have been given over to private care. Patriotic organizations do not like to spend money upon a historic landmark and install museums until they are certain of the future of the premises. -A. omitted a most important detail frofu the story of Capt. William Kldt.’s call at the home of Lien Gardiner In 1699,” today criticized an individual who likes to have everything right. “Capt. Kidd was regaled with cider at the Gardiner home, which beverage was served to him In a silver pitcher. When he had quaffed his fill, he dropped a diamond into the pitcher, hi* way of showing his appreciation. That diamond is now owned by a lady living in New Haven, Conn., who Is a descendant of the first white owner of Gardiner's Island, then called the “Isle of Wight" after the British ebanuel Isle." Broadway Is laughing at this little story of how William A. Brady Jr., who has been seen frequently of late at the various race tracks, carne to be absent this week from his accustomed haunts. "Better come down to the boat and see your mother off," William A. Sr. said to his son. “Sure, dad, I’ll be there,” replied Junior, and he was. “Bill, you have never seen Germany have you?" asked Senior on the boat shortly before the gangplanks were lifted. Young Brady said that he hadn’t. “Ilow’d you j like to come along with your mother and I?” asked the proud father. “But. dad—" began Junior. “Everything Is all fixed.” said Senior, adding “no ‘buts’ about it. I want you to see Germany, a country that is being reconstructed, rebuilt.” That is how William A. Jr. unexpectely Joined up with his parents and is nowon his way to “see Germany.” The late Joseph H. Choate, one* ambassador to England, wit and author, is frequently referred to as “a New Y'ork lawyer.” He probably thought he was, for he had an office here and many distinguished clients. “I must testify to the contrary," said a prominent 'uwyer today, who came to New York a stranger from Boston some years ago with a letter of Introduction to Mr. Choate, adding: "He received me most cordially, nnd then advised, ‘Y'ou Join our New England society and we will see what can be done.’ Mr. C'hoate was an out-and-out New Englander up to the very last." “Homs making" tests are ahont to be made by the Prat Institute of Brooklyn.

But ono does hear an occasional despairing cry from elderly women. “I never took a drink In my life,” today said a charming woman who has passed her seventieth birthday, "but the servants In the kitchen have to disappoint me and I do not like that. They cannot make slip and-go-down winewhey trifle, candle or Junket any more. As for lobster Newburgh, mincemeat

The steward of my hotel said: "It'ls so long since we have used liquors In otir cooking that I have almost forgotten the dishes we thought required stimulants. Os course, welsh rarebit without ale Is a Joke. For a time we missed the wine and rum sa-.sces once used in pastry and such fish dishes as terrapin and lobster, but seldom now are there complaints.
