Borah Attacks Proposed Trip le Alliance Charges Union Based on War. WASHINGTON. July 7. The new treaty with France, by which that nation Is promised American aid In case of an unprovoked attack by Germany, was described as "the premature obituary of the league of nations as a league of peace," in a statement issued last night by Senator Borah. Republican, of Idaho. The senator also charged that the promise was made by President Wilson to purchase French support for the league plan. "The French-Brltlah-United States alliance," said the statement, "la based upo 1 the theory of war. It is made In expectation of war; It la, like all such alliances, a war alliance. Gould there be a more open confession by the authors of the league that the leaguo means neither peace nor disarmament? Quotes President Wilson MA short time before the president left for Europe he said: "Special alliances have been the prolific cause In the modern world of the plans and pas sions that produce war. Tet notwith standing this statement so very frank ly made we are now asked to draw a line through Washington's farewell address, put behind us the policy of our government during Its entire life and enter Into a special alliance, an alliance which will Include Great Britain and France and possibly Italy and Belgium, for both Indicated a desire to get In. "Upon the same occasion he declared: There can be no alliance within the general league of nations.' In the face of this statement there is to be formed within this league a special alliance, and this special alliance Is to be formed upon the initiative of the authors of the league of nations. This special alliance will lead Inevitably, in fact will compel other nations to form special alliances. We are to have a league for peace and within the league for peace an alliance for war. That is like advising a friend to try a patent medicine cure-all, but to be sure to have his physician and a stomach pump at hand."

Indianapolis Critic Praises Bandy's Work The art critic of the Indianapolis News has made the following criticism of the work of a Richmond artist. The painting wae reproduced. "Woods In Winter," a painting by

J. E. Bundy, of Richmond, and the gift of Emll Dletz to the Art Association, has been placed on view at the John Herron Art Institute. This landscape Is an Intimate and poetic portrayal of a beech wood after a heavy fall of snow. The warm light of late afternoon touches the silvery trunks of the trees and they cast long violet shadows on the white snow crust, while behind the dull copper leaves still clinging to the branches, a golden flush warms the sky. Distinguished by correct values and draftsmanship and an enveloping atmospheric quality, the painting beautifully suggests the mysterious hush of the winter woodland. "Woods in Winter" was painted In 1903 and displays the freshness of the artist's enthusiasm for beech trees a subject that has not failed to inspire him through the years and with which his name and artistic reputation are unfailingly associated. PRICE OF BEEF AND LAMB GOES DOWN Pork Is the most expensive meat now on market, according to Richmond butchers. Beef and lamb have both decreased noticeably In price. Beef prices have declined about five cents on the cheaper cuts. Steaks and roasts, however, are selling at about the same price. The cheaper cuts of beef are now selling for twenty-two cents. Lamb has fallen in price, ten cents for all cuts, as lambs are far more plentiful now. Wholesale prices on pork are advancing. Retailers have not yet raised the price, but will if the wholesale price continues to rise, they said Monday. A survey made recently by the United Master Butchers of America shows that everywhere beef is cheaper than pork, and that the retail price of beef has declined on an average from four to five cents a pound In the last six weeks. The heaviest reduction was reported from Connecticut, where the retail prices of beef were said to have been lowered 18 percent.

Miss Ethel Clark, of the Social Ser vice bureau, who has charge of the work which is being conducted by the Children's bureau of the United States Department of Labor, attributes the lack of interest to the fact that the examination last year was considered a war scheme, and as the war is now over, the interest had died out Under the Children's bureau plan, the registration and examination is an annual affair, conducted in the Interest of children's welfare throughout the country.

STRICK HAS LOTS TO OCCUPY TIME; WRITES ON TRAINS By STRICKLAND GILLILAN (From the Lyceum Magazine) Knowing that Mr. Gillllan fills jam-med-up winter and summer platform reasons, with the travel and exposure that all professionals in that work have, the Lyceum Magazine asked him to tell how he manages to do his literary work while traveling. We thought it might encourage others to try to take on other work to break the lonely monotony of travel. I have been asked as to how many and what publications I write for regularly, and here is the answer, up to May 1. I shall take on another publication or two in the fall, so as to keep from utter Idleness and getting Into trouble: Two thousand words monthly for Life Association News, New York. One thousand words monthly for Maryland Motorist. Seven hundred to one thousand words monthly for Farm Life. Five thousand words monthly for Retail Public Ledger, Philadelphia (Issues twice per month). A thousand words a month for Detroit Athletic Club News. A thousand words a month for the Journal of Education, Boston. Five hundred to one thousand words a month for Motor Life, New York. The amount you see in this publication monthly. A batch of stuff for Roycroft almost every month. Verses regularly for The New Success, while scarcely a month passes that one of the following does not contain something of mine: Ladies Home Journal, Good Housekeeping, Munsey, etc., and in every issue of Life I have unsigned epigrams or something else. I have a feeling that I have omitted something from the above list. Oh, yes, I sometimes do some stuff for tho Saturday Evening Post, and every so often I write a new insurance pamph let, and place it on the market. No, I do not work myself to death I tell you I am looking for more jobs I find I put more new stuff into my lec tures after writing all day than I do when I doze around and complain about the hotel or the hard travel or something. Recently when I had been in bed at Canon City till 1:30 a. m., had ridden in a day coach to Pueblo and gone to bed at 3:45 to arise at 7, and had got to Lamar at 2 p. m., I was confronted with a telegram from the Retail Public Ledger, saying: "If you haven't already mailed your copy for By The Way column, wire us whether we can ( expect It next Monday." This, bless your dear heart, was the middle of Wednesday afternoon, in Colorado. I wired: "You may have it." Two hours later, tho I hadn't an idea on paper or in my bean when the wire was delivered, the stuff was in the mail fifteen hundred words of It, in jokes, paragraphs and humorous verse, and every single word of it was printed the next Monday in Philadelphia. Six Pieces of Verse On April 18, en route to Uniontown. Pa., I wrote six pieces of verse, all of which except one have been successfully marketed since, besides two rrose articles for the Detroit Athletic Club News, and one for Maryland Motorist. I have my Farm Life matter written to and including September, and my Maryland Motorist stu ditto. I hope before the summer season really opens, to have all my publications supplied two or three months ahead, so that I may loaf with the family on my auto trip over Whiteside's "Atlantic Coast" circuit, and not have to write more than a thousand words or so a week, except on special stuff, and a novel I am beginning to get ready to start to prepare to write all of a sudden one of these times. And 1 haw inst ns much fun on the road as you do, and talk to every school bunch that wil lgive me the slightest encouragement. I am going to learn to speak in public that way. It is much easier to work fast than slow, under pressure than untrainmeled. Light Plant Building Ordinance To Be Passed City Attorney Byram Robbins was instructed to draw up an ordinance appropriating money for the purchase of the Dickinson Trust building. South Eighth street, which houses the City Light plant, at the meeting of the Board of Public Works, Monday morning. The ordinance will be presented at council Monday evening.
