PACIFIST MOVES HOTLY OPPOSED BY GOVERNMENT War Department Refuses to Curb Fight on Women’s Activities. By Scripps-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June s.—Following closely on three official rebukes to pacifism by the federal government, it became known today that the war department actively is fighting peace movements in ail parts of the country. Officers of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, who called at the war department late Thursday to protest the activity of army officers in opposition to their work, were told that army policies would not be modified. The women protested two things; first, that army officers have warned citizens in various communities to stay away from the league’s peace meetings because they were “radical" and “communistic,” and second, that the war department has referred inquiries about the league to the D. A. R. which blacklisted the league some years ago as a "dangerous” organization.' Protest Is Filed Mrs. Hannah Clothier Hull of Swarthmore, Pa., chairman of the board of the league, and Miss Dorothy Detzer, formerly of Ft. Wayne, Ind., its executive secretary, laid the protest before Assistant Secretary of War Frederich H. Payne and Major-General George Van Horn Mosely, deputy chief of staff. They told the officials that several weeks ago one of the league workers attempted to organize a peace meeting in Lancaster, Pa., and discovered that persons whom they could not identify were spreading word that the league was communistic and that its meeting should not be attended. The two officials of the league then told of a second recent occurrence, in Albuquerque, N. M., where local reserve officers warned a clergyman and various clubwomen not to take part in a peace meeting being organized by the league. The reserve officers also charged that members of the league, including Jane Addams, were “radical’’ and “communistic.” Express No Approval Payne and Mosely, while disclaiming responsibility for the reservists’ action, expressed no disapproval of it. The day before the league’s protest was made, General Douglas MacArthur, President Hoover’s personal appointee as chief of staff, scathingly denounced 12,076 clergymen who had declared in responding to a questionnaire, that they would refuse to sanction or support war in the future. On the same day, President Hoover made public a letter he sent to Secretary of War Hurley congratulating him on the recent air maneuvers which peace groups had vigorously opposed. A week earlier, the United States supreme court, by a 5 to 4 vote, decided that persons refusing on •religious or conscientious grounds to bear arms, may not become citizens of this country.

TRACK EVENTS SHOWNBY FILM Exciting Scenes Numerous in Universal Pictures. The easy manner in which Southern California captured the I. A. A. A. games at Philadelphia with record-breaking track events is one of the leading features of The Indianapolis Times—Universal Newsreel now being exhibited at leading local theaters. Graham McNamee, ace radio announcer of the National Broadcasting Company staff and the talking reporter of the screen, describes these events in his vivid manner with a running comment on the film. The rescue of a “Chicago coal miner” who sought the Black Gold buried under debris of a fire twentyfive years ago, is pictured in the reel. It show's Barney Bozant being rescued by his comrades after being buried under ten feet of coal. President Hoover, acclaimtd by thousands on his visit to Valley Forge, Pa., when he commemorated the first Decoration day service on the site of the famous Revolutionary war epoch, is another feature of the film. Manhattan’s salvation for the summer is shou%i vividly in this issue, which has an item picturing 600,000,000 gallons of water dumping over a 1,200-foot, spillway at the Crotbn water preserve. Other items in the reel are a steeplejack climbing to the top of the Chanin building; herding of goats to escape the heat at Mesquite, N. M., and babies being exercised in New York. RADIO LISTENING IS HELD ‘UNPROFITABLE’ London Physician Avers Habit Cultivates Indolence. LONDON, June s.—The business man who yields to the fascination of the radio for entertainment is adopting one of the most unprofitable hobbies, according to Dr. D. Lechmere Anderson. For those engaged upon sedentary occupations the radio is a snare and a delusion, Dr. Anderson declares. It entices them to cultivate habits of indolence which are bound to produce an adverse effect upon health. It undoubtedly tends to lead to lack of exercise.

SNELL PLEDGES HELP TO ALTER SPEAKERRULES ‘Reasonable Liberalization’ in Platform of N. Y. .Representative. By Scripps-E award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June s.—“ Reasonable” liberalization of the house rules of procedure was promised today by Representative Bertrand H. Snell (Rep., N. Y.), chairman of the rules committee and a candidate for the speakership. Snell said he favored the three principal changes demanded by Progressive Republicans who threaten to help the Democrats elect Happy Jack Garner (Dem., Tex.) to the speakership if the changes are refused. These consist of the right of a committee majority to call a meeting, procedure for forcing discharge of a bill from a committee, and means to prevent the opposition of only one member defeating a measure. Should this revision be effected, the reform would be as far-reach-ing as that which marked the overthrow of Cannonism twenty years ago. It would make the house more responsive to public sentiment, and tend to prevent stifling of measures without giving the house membership a chance to vote. It would mean the disruption of the smooth-running “steam roller” which has operated in the lower chamber for the last five years.

String ‘Rage’ Fashion Says Cotton Twine Is ‘Just Thing for Mi-Lady’s Pretties.

Ma’s got retribution at last. For years her garters never were safe from being used as sling-shots for sonny, but today ma does a bit of appropriating on her own account, with the re-’ suit that sonny must padlock his kites, string for tops, if he doesn’t want them to turn up missing. Fashion’s latest decrees that cotton string is just the thing for making summer berets, pocketbooks, dresses for ma and sis. Department stores of the city have gone “cotton.” Even the feminine “pretties” have taken a masculine B. V. D. air. And as for the June bride, she can, if she desires to order in advance, obtain a cotton wedding dress that’s as “hot” in style as the silks of the past. Debutantes short on pocket money and with no little brother to purloin kite-string from can be assured one of the new string berets if she’ll just drive down in the month-balls of ma’s hopechest and drag out her baby-cap. The baby-caps, modistes declare, can be transformed into berets with the proper sporting tilt for the nineteenth hole. If the string rage runs its course it is the belief of some that dad’s efforts to save tin-foil off plug-cuts will be outdone by mother’s conservation of lashings of laundry bundles and T-bcnes.
