WORLD NAVAL PACT ATTEMPT LED BYBRITAIN Agreement Now Reached With France; Plan to Other Powers Soon. • B,V United Press LONDON, July 31.—A new attempt at an international naval agreement, a sequel to the proposals that failed in the Geneva disarmament conference in February, is underway now with France and England already in accord. Sir Austen Chamberl in, the foreign secretary, in Commons Monday night announced that Great Britain had reached a naval agreement with France. “I am about to communicate the compromise to the other principal naval powers,” Sir Austen said. ‘‘l am hoping it may be acceptable to them.” Sir Austen would discuss the matter no further than to make' this announcement. Doctrine of Self-Defense The entire Comm ? " -on had been one devoted to a discussion of peace time moves with the foreign secretary expressing the British reasons for a reserve clause in Great Britain’s acceptance of the Kellog anti-war pact. Britain had reserved the right to act in certain territories. ‘‘Does anybody think the United States, in proposing the pact, means to abolish or change the policy of the Monroe Doctrine? Clearly not. In every arbitration treaty the United States has signed, they have expressly reserved all questions relating to the Monroe Doctrine,” Sir Austen said. ‘‘We are not unreasonable when we state there are parts of the world where we too have a Monroe Doctrine. It is not a doctrine of aggression nor a desire for territorial expansion, but a measure of selfdefense necessitated by the geography of the empire.” Means Much or Little He pointed out that the anti-war pact might mean much or might mean little in the affairs of the world. He said much would depend on how the rest of the world thinks the United states is going to judge the action of the aggressor in any conflict that might arise. “If American opinion collects behind the treaty, then the pact is an additional and formidable deterrent to war. This is what we hope, wherefore we are glad to cooperate to bring the proposal to fruition,” he said. Sir Austen concluded by saying he hoped to go to Paris before the end of August to sign the proposal in behalf of -the British empire. Lloyd George Criticises His speech was cheered, but David Lloyd George said in a subsequent speech that ’ the British defense clause and the Monroe doctrine was entirely different. He pointed out that the Monroe doctrine had “clear, definite geographical limitations which every one knows, but it is impossible to tell what this clause (the British antiwar clause) applies to." He criticised the self-defense motive, saying such a move left open the chance that every country might interpret self-defense differently. He pointed out that Germany still maintained the World War was based on a self-defense motive. Lockjaw Fatal to Boy.

Stone Girls Make Own Way After Father, Once Governor, Dies. By NEA Service NEW YORK, July 31.—Isobel and Margaret Stone have known the luxury and social prestige that comes with being the daughters of a Governor. They have known wealth, for upon the death of the late William A. Stone, once chief executive of the State of Pennsylvania, the two girls inherited nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Isobel Stone has known independent success, too, for she has sung in opera and has appeared on the musical comedy stage. Live on Barge Today, Isobel and Margaret have only memories, but with ambition undimmed. They exist in poverty on a discarded and rotting river barge. It wouldn’t even float were it not jammed in the mud of stagnant Sherman Creek, near the Dykeman street landing in New York. “No,” Isobel Insisted, gamely, “it isn’t because we love the great out-of-doors, or are being eccentric. It’s because we get this old moss-cov-ered barge rent free—and when you haven’t anything in your pocketbook that’s a big consideration. Asked No Aid “You see, my sis. L er and I didn’t run true to form. We both love art and have aspired to artistic careers. We haven’t asked our rich relatives for help. So we will have to find our own way out of our poverty.” Isobel is determined to make a name for herself on Broadway. Margaret, the sister, who was married some years ago to Ricahrd R. O’Neil and later separated from him, has fitted up the old cabin to resemble a studio, where she models all day long. ■~ T I had my life to live over, I’d prefer to have to struggle more in my early years, and then possibly by now, I would be self-reliant enough to hold my own on Broadway,” Isobel went on. Lost All Money “I’m convinced that you have to be hard boiled today to make your mark. If women are dangerously so, it is not from choice but from necessity. French, riding, music, art and travel are all very well for drawing room life, but a career demands the go-gutter spirit and the ability to give as good as is sent.” At best, the barge is a dismal looking, ramshackle affair, outside as well as in. The furniture was left behind as not being worth moving. The kitchen stove was partially concealed and its original purpose blocked by a yellow cover. Opera scores, musical books and writing pads indicated it now was doubling as a work table. The only suggestion of beauty was a green Spanish shawl draped over an ugly mission rocker—one her mother had purchased years ago in Madrid. When ex-Governor Stone died, eight years ago, he left an estate valued at $200,000 besides an $85,000 life insurance policy. Through litigations and unfortunate investments, this evaporated until there is nothing left. Boy Dies of Injuries Bn Times Special SILVERTON, Ind., July 31. David E.

USE BAYONETS ON STRIKERS National Guardsmen Disperse Mob of 10,000. By United Press NEW BEDFORD, Mass., July 31. —National Guardsmen used bayonets Monday night to disperse a mob of 10,000 strike sympathizers, who milled about police headquarters after 256 pickets had been arrested. One man was reported to have suffered a bayonet wound. For a time it was feared that the throng would storm police headquarters and seek release for their fellow-strikers who had been arrested. The situation beeme so menacing that Mayor Charles S. Ashley called out a battery of 120 guardsmen. It was believed today that the situation continued tense, the mayor again would import police from other eastern Massachusetts cities as he did last Saturday when one group of strikers planned a parade for which no permit had been issued. After arrival of guardsmen Monday night, two deputy sheriffs read the riot act and ordered the crowd to disperse. Then, the militia charged the mob and drove them from the street.

SEEK SALARY RAISE FOR NEW CITY ÜBRARAN Pay for Post Lower Than in Smaller Cities, Says Vonnegut. School board members today were considering means of financing increased salary for the city librarian following conference Monday with two possible appointees. The present salary is $5,500 a year. “The salary of the Indianapolis librarian is lower than in many smaller cities of the country,” President Theodore F. Vonnegut said. “If we want a worthy successor to Charles E. Rush we will have to pay a better salary. We can get plenty of librarians for $5,500, but none of the caliber of Rush.” Dickerson Leaves City Luther L. Dickerson, executive secretary of the committee on adult education, American Library Association, Chicago, returned to Chicago Monday afternoon, after conferring with board members. He was invited here by Vonnegut. While Dickerson was meeting with commissioners. Dr. Edwin Mead Wilcox, noted biologist of Chicago, said by Vonnegut to be a candidate for the appointment, also was in the city. Wilcox was interviewed by Commissioner Fred Kepner, who with Mrs. Lillian Sedwick is said to fa or his appointment. Opposed to Wilcox Vonnegut is opposed to Wilcox, terming I .m an excellent biologist, but with <ut wide experience as a librarian. Vonnegut said he understood W lcox would accept $5,500. No action on the appointment is expected at the board meeting tonight. The board plans to put the library in the charge of Miss Amie Winslow, assistant librarian, when Rush leaves on vacation Aug. 15. His resignation becomes effective Aug. 31 when he will become Columbia University Teachers’ College librarian.

George Washington Staton, 94, bought the first ticket for the first Indiana State Fair, indicating an early love for outdoor amusements which apparently has clung to him, for he was photographed with Mrs. Staton, 80, just after they had completed a merry-go-round ride at Riverside park. The aged couple, who have been married sixty years, say they enjoy the thrills of amusement parks as much as the youngsters.
