They represent a total capital of

"Quacks may be divided Into two

(AaoclitH ha Uunt Win.)
LONDON, Oct. 20. London
awoke to find emblaxoned on the
front pages of the newspapers the
text of the momentuoua decisions
reached at Lorcano, which virtual
ly make further wars In Europe Im
possible. The security pact guarantees In
violability of the Preach, Belgian,
and German frontiers. There are
also six treaties between Germany
and France, Belgian). Poland and
Siecho Slovakia and between
France and her eastern allies, Po
land and Csecho Slovakia.
Germany is to set up machinery
for the arbitration of disputes
which cannot be Ironed out through
ordinary diplomatic handling.
The engagements between
France and Poland and Checho
slovakia provide that if Germany
shall have recourse to arms
against any of the three countries,
they shall Immediately go to the
aid ot one another. j
The treaty of mutual guarantees
by Germany, France and Belgium
stipulates that Germany must
never Invade the toil of France or
Belgium or attempt to create war
In the demilitarised Rhine lone,
while on their parts. France and
Belgium engage never to violate
Germany's western frontier. If
either one. of the countries should
violate the pact, it would be the
duty of Great Britain and Italy to
lend aid to the aggrieved party.
. War Not Outlawed
Arbitration ot all disputes Is
necessary. None of - the agree
ments outlaw war.
It is clearly stated that In some
circumstances war Is legltimatlsed
but the treaties seek to evade war
as far as possible, and prevent it
from arising.
Nowhere to today's papers are
the treaties hailed aa absolutely
securing future peace of Europe.
They are described as a "promis
ing attempt to return to the old
family party of Europe and to ar
range quarrels on the basis of
reason."
Confidence Is expressed by the
Writers that the treaties will re
ceive the ratification of the vari
ous parliaments concerned, espe
cially in view of the fact that they
cannot be amended.
By some writers It Is foreseen
that the German' nationalists pos
sibly will be able to overthrow the
ministry of Chancellor Luther.
President Coolldge's hint that
the United Statea would be willing
to do something more toward limi
tation ot armamenta Is regarded In
some quarters as among the most
important results of the Locarno
negotiations. The Westminister Ca
xette urges the European govern
ments to give serious attention to
the president's hint.

(This serves to corroborate un

there between the British Foreign

and the French Premier, M. Paln

that Germany, taking advantage of
the terms of the pact, will shortly

ter which It Is anticipated the
British government will, order the
removal o fits (.000 occupational
