Srrrlct, Special C?W? Di?p??efc.>
Geneva, June 6.?That the world
la a very different place today from
what was hoped for le?s than a year
ago was forcibly illustrated this afternoon
by a jnotor trip to the site
chosen for the home of the Society
of Nations. ?
Paul Trechsel, director of the
league's interests in Geneva, took a
party to fhe beautiful grounds on
Lake Geneva, facing a magulflcent
view of Mont Blanc, sixty miles
away, across the French border.
Guillaume Fatio, who has been In
close touch with the plans of the
organisation of a society of nations
here in Geneva, explained along the
way what had been hoped for and
what was now possible. In the party
were Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt,
founder and president of the International
Woman's Suffrage Alliance:
Marjcrie Shuler, of New York, and
myself. Every moment we heard
words to the effect that It was not
possible to do this or that because
America had not joined the league.
Swiss Disappointed.
The possibility that Geneva will
be sidetracked for the time being at
least is proving a keen disappointment
here, as the Swiss people on
May 17. *oted to enter the .league
in the belief the organixation would
be immediately transferred here.
"Geneva, as the capital of the Society
of Nations, was conforming to
the American point of view,' we
were told. "In fact, the Americans
wanted the Peace Conference here
so as to get away from intrigues
in war-ridden Paris, but French insistence
prevailed. The same elements
wanted Paris _or London as
the capital of the league, but President
Wilson and Col. House worked
hard in favor of Geneva, supported
by Lord Robert Cecil, and finally
won; but, now that America is powerless.
the other factors again insist
on Brussels."
Appeal to Americans.
Both M. Fatio and William Martin
say that Brussels would be a
continuation of the combination of
the London-Paris domination.
"It was the American point of view
that the league should be universal
ana that is why Geneva was chosen."
said M. Martin. He was the editor
of the Journal 4e Geneve, who visited
America with five other Swiss
editors as guests of George Creel's
Publicity Information Bureau in
1918. Last autumn he joined the
secretarial of the league of nations
in London. He is en route to the
second international labor confer- <
ence. which is to meet In Genoa. S
We visited the grounds about five (
miles from Geneva, where last summer
it was expected that by now
thousands of workmen would be '
busy constructing the most power- ,
ful wireless station in the world to (
radiate news, laying out landing
places for aeroplanes and building I
legations for the various nations.
Golf I.inks Selected.
The Swiss government had procured
an option on several private
estates, some of them containing a
mile on the lake front and extenaing
half a mile back, with many 1
beautiful trees and fields. M. Fatio
told us what the British commls- i
slon which had come to look thinfts :
over last summer had said?that,
of course, they must have golf
links, while the Americans had anH
we red for a good baseball diamond.
"You can see the site would have I
been big enough for both," M.
Fatio said.
He told us nil these plans had
been dropped. "America had been
counted upon to take the lead." he
said. "Now only a small beginning
Is planned, but everything is ready
for that beginning."
In the city, near the Grand Hotel
de la Paix. headquarters of the
American delegations of suffragists,
we were shown the buildings in 1
preparation as offices for the '
league, and the Hotel des Berguea, i
Juat ma4e anew, which will houae
many of the officials.

ASSAILS SLIM
SUMS FOR NAVY
Secretary Daniels Accuses
Congress of Playing
Politics Over Bill.
Reduction by Congress of the estimates
submitted In the naval appropriation
bill will seriously handicap
the work of the department, according
to a statement Issued yesterday
by Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy.
Daniels places especial emphasis
on the failure to include til,000,000
to provide for the construction of
aviation and submarine tenders at
Hog Island, and says that the vessels
which must be built will cost
a much greater sum in private
yards.
Polals Oat Defects.
The four defects in the measure
seen by Secretary Daniels are:
The failure to make provision for
adequate naval expansion on the
Pacific made imperative by the pres?nce
of the great fleet on the Pacific
and the proper protection of that
coast and outlying American islands.
Failure to authorize the construction
of a single new ship, appropriating
only for the completion of the
ships authorized in the 1916 program.
Raps Failure to Pnviif.
Failure to appropriate sufficient
money to repair and ktcp In condition
ships Which the OfTico of Operations
told Congress were essential I
ami ought not be deferred.
Referring to the need of the vessels
which It was planned to build
at Hog Island. Mr. Daniels said:

Mexico Envoy,
Unrecognized,
Opens Embassy
Affairs Here Taken from Dr.
Diego-Fernandez by Dr.
Torre-Diaz.
The Mexican Embassy yesterday
Was placed In charge of Dr. Salvador
Torre-Diam, who came to Washington
six weeks ago as special representative
of the government which
overthrew Carranxa. Dr. Don Salvador
Diego Fernandas, who* has
been charge d'affaires. Is returning
to Mexico. The entire embassy staff
is retained by Torre-Dlas.
The newly announced change creates
the situation of the Mexican
Embassy being in control of a government
unrecognised by the United
States. t
Following Carransa's flight from
Mexico City, Dr. Diego - Fernandes
would not accept the authority of
Torre-Dias. The same difference was
in evidence In New York between the
regular consal and the commercial
agent of the new government. There
was a dispute over possession of a'
lawge amount of Mexican money deposited
in New York.
The money now has been turned
qver to the representatives of the
new government, and the Mexican
office in New York City also is in
charge of a representative of the
new regime.

A real euro for leprosy has apparently

the aanoun:em<nt of Surgeoa-Oeneral
Hugh 6. Cumming. of the Public
Health Service.
After be'.ng treated with a
preparation .of chi uimoogra oil.
known as "ethyl aster" for over a
year, forty-eight members of the
Ha^aiiaa leper colony wer? paroled
in October, lilt, and up to
the present time have remained free
from disease. Tfce treatment has
been carried on at the Leprosy Investigation
Station at Kalihl, Hawaii,
under the direction of Dr. J.
T. McDonald, director of the station.
The lepers come willingly for
treatment. It is tald, and a recent
inspection by Hawaiian health authorities
has failed to disclose a
single hidden case of leprosy.
Study of the pew treatment began
with the obi'tivation that now
and then th.> course of the diseas-2
was chockcci by the use of chaulmoogra
oil;?the product of a Burmese
tree of the plum family.
The treatment, however, was difficult
and could not be carried out
In all cases. An attempt. was made
to Inoculate the active constituent
of the drug of devise means for
making its continue.1 use practical,
which resulted in the preparing of
the "ethyl ester" which promises to
l?e a specific for the disease.

The stereotyped reasons are adanced
against the wisdom ol

Although rivals and outsiders Inist
upon eliminating them, nothing
ould be further from the truth than
he belief that either Wood. Johnon.
Lowden or Harding consider
hemselves candidates for the "has

They bank confidently on accreions

BY WILLIAM AM.KN WHITE
Chicago, 111., June 6. ? Three
i things are apparent in the crowds
1 on Michigan Avenue these pre-conI
vention days. First, that the Old
i Guard is not in control and will not
T control. Second, that the liberal j
group is not in control. Third, that
no one controls.
In the crowds that tramp with
languid, aching feet about the paved

; ?listless, aimless crowds?one sees
1 chaos blighted with apathy. No
great leader inspires the throng; no
[ great cause stirs the emotion. Tou

about anything.
I Believe* Deadlock 1 nllkely.
There is some Johnson enthusiasm.
but not ireny Jchnson votes;

much Wood enthusiaxm, and Lowdtn
has neither votes nor eni
thusiasm. Unless something out*
i side of the prcttnt grouping of men
1 and Issues puts girgcr into thig con|
vention hope of a deadlock is re1
mote. And the Hoover hope is
pinned entirely upon a ileaolock.
1 Hoover has no more chance In ,
this convention irowd as it ir now

Chicago, June C.?The Republican!
know fairly well what they are to
stand for In the matter of party
principles before the nation this
year. They are not Inclined to stage
a domestic quarrel in their own
home at the convention this veek.
There are minor differences. Such
could not well be avoided In a party
reaching from coast to coast and
from Canada to Mexico.
The Republican platform Is to be
a forward looking statement of
principles If the party leaders have
their way. It will cover all the
major Issues nearest to the American
heart. There may be differences
over the league of nations and the
Industrial problems, but in the end
a harmonious declaration of principles
is regarded as the positive
outcome of the convention.
To one who went through the
many stages of discussion over the
wording of the treaty reservations
it is no novelty to And here differences
of opinion as to verbiage,
but unanimity of thought prevails
with respect to ultimate results.
As it stands tonight, the Republican
statements of principles may be
summarized as follows:
THE TREATV.
The p&rty will condemn the league
of nations as presented to the Senate
by President Wilson. It will
indorse the action of the Republican
majority of the Senate in refusing
to consent to the ratification of the
treaty without the reservations approved
b? the Senate majority. It
will den-Mice the action of the
I resident In blocking ratification of
the treaty and vetoing the Knox
peace resolution thereby keeping the
nation in a technical status of wai
with Germany.
The party will^ go on record unequivocally
as favoring measures
to promote the peace of the world
and accordingly will serve notice to
all the nations of the earth that Its
foreign policy would be drawn with
a view to preventing a repetition of
such a menace to civilization as
Germany brought about In 1914. The
Republicans will stand for agreements
for international reduction
and limitation upon armaments, for
the codification of international law
and for extension of International
agreements or arbitration of disputes
between nations.
THE INDUSTRIAL. PROBLEM.
The rights of the public will be
accorded recognition and respect
for them demanded. The party will
stand In equal opposition to the
rights of the worker being denied
and the wr^ckins of production by
lockouts. It will declare for the
adjudication of industrial disputes
by peaceful means where the interests
of the public are involved. It
is not likely to declare for compulsory
arbitration denying the right
of the individual to cease employment
in accordance with the guarantees
of the Constitution.
MEXICO.
Absolute guarantee for the protection
of American rights and
property In foreign nations. A flat
insistence upon the strict observance
of international law for the
observance of the rule of nations
governing the treatment of the lives
and property of nationals of a
friendly nation. Prompt and effective
action to Bee that violations
of such guarantees are punished.
THE HIGH COST OP LIVING.
Immediate action to bring about
cormal conditions, looking for better
marketing facilities between producer
and consumer, curtailing extravagance
and reducing Inflation:
economy In Federal appropriations
brought about by the Republican
Congress In the face of demands by
the Democratic administration for
a continuance of the war organisations
and continuance of wasteful
methods in Federal departments, will
be cited as an Indication of the Republican
thought in that apspect.
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
The Republican party will be committed
to strict and impartial enforcement
of all Federal statutes and
to co-operktlon with State governments
to that end. The platform
will not specify the Volstead act f?r
enforcement of the Federal prohibition
amendment, but that measure
will be Included In the general problem.
There Is very slight, if an>,
possibil'ty the platform will declare
for modification of the Volstead act
according to the light wine and beer
formulas. Suppression of radical
agitation will be embodied in the
same declaration. The party will
leave no room for doubt as to Its
nncomproralsing stand for lavf and
erder.
LEGISLATION.
The party will cite Its record of
achievement since It assumed control
over the legislative branch of
the Federal government as promising
the continuance of statutory
enactment designed to serve the best
