J Students Are Told.
PALO ALTO. Cal.. Oct. 5. "If the

we mutt at once prepare to fight;
Herbert Hoover, formerly economic
director for the supreme war council.
told the students of Stanford univer
Btty in an address here tonight.
The peace treatlea. he aaid, "cannot
be carried out without the league. If
the league falls the treaties also fall.
If the balance of power is to supplant
the leaajue of .nations, we will have
torn asunder the only hope that La
rope win not break Into further wars
of races, classes and eomvyitiona
that will take civilization back to the
middle area.
I am confident tiat If we attempt
to revise the treaty we shall tread a
road through European chaos. If we
manage to keep our soldiers out of It
we will not escape fearful economic
losses.
Old Treadmill Feared.
"The allies, may themselves revise
this treaty without us and then as
semble a council of nations of their
own In an endeavor to solve the pros

th.e terrible times, considering- the
deals they owe us. the material they

rather that we be represented therein

Pointing out the likelihood that
aome European nations will again be
plunged Into war with their neighr
Hrs, Mr. Hoover referred to a prob
ability of the invasion of Poland, if
the treaty failed.
He said: "There are many elements
in Europe which wish to see ' the
treaty break down and the league of
nations disappear. During the last
five montba our allies have been
growing weaker from a military point
of view due to the necessity of de
mobilising their armies, while at the
same time the reactionary group in
ttermany has been growing in
strength through the hope of yet
securing a division of the allies.
German Army Menace.
"At the time I left Europe a month
ago German militarism had already
re-established a weil-disciplined, well
officered army of at least 400.000
men. largely congregated on the
Polish frontier and even defying the
government at Berlin. Under the
alarm of this danger the Poles, in
the midst of the greatest economic
misery that a nation ever knew, have
been trying to create an army of
tOO.e" men for their protection from
the Germans, on the one side, and the
bolshevik! on the other. If the treaty
la ratified, the German army will be
reduced to 200,009 men and dispersed
over Germany and their extra arma
ment destroyed. The failure of the
treaty means the invasion of the
treaty means the invasion of the
Polish state."
He said he was not impatient of
honest debate; that he believed

it is and this is why.
We thought that when the food

found that not only we had less es

"it is often overlooked that this

Mr. Hoover. .
"It was- Germany's wrongs that

WRAPPINGS EDICT OUT
Vmbrclla and Handbag Must
Match, Says Fashion.
.' X.ONDOX. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) The trappings
which the fashionable Englishwoman
inust have are becoming more luxuri
ous almost every week, the latest in
stance being the dictum that urn-
-brella and handbag must match.
Tortoise shell and ivory fittings
are the favorite choice for silk um
brellas and bags. and. with ivory, bot-
.tie-green ailk is liked for its old
world effect.
Both ivory and tortoise shell are
costly, which may account for their
popularity, but ivory ia the higher
priced. An umbrella fitted with a
olid stick, surmounted by a ball, will
cost S0 and a bag as much more.
Both umbrella and bag are. as a rule,
finished with the owner's Initials, at
an additional cost of 7.B0.
In the country and at the aeastde.
cretonne-covered sunshades. with
handbags to match, are popular. The
aunshadea are dome-shaped, and are
patterned -with Chinese garden, pa
goda, large bird and flower effects.
Bags, commodious enough to carry a
stockingette bathing suit, needlework,
'knitting, or crochet, and even a light
luncheon, accompany the sunshade,

So I Just fell Into line. too. When
ever one or my irienas in tne mi
ferent departments has a birthday, at
Whitsuntide and Easter and Ban
holiday. I must pass over that com
fortable little half crown ana i m
not too modest to boast that no cus
tomer at those stores has better at-
tenion or ges better stun man i.
Half a crown Isn't much (60 cents)
and lt does fine work for its size
but all the same this is not the sort
of thinr I like doing, and other
women like it lust as little as I do.
You never know where you are when
vou live on a tipping basis.
I don t blame tne ciems, iney are
paid at a low rate. They get a com
mission on their sales and are ex
pected to eke out their grossly In-
adeauate wage by these odd tips.
That Is why every woman has her
pet clerk, who gets to know her
needs, advises her about the day's
stock and special sales and reminds
her of extras she would never think
of herself.
Under the strict rationing system
to which we have now returned tipp
ing will disappear. For one tning,
it won't be necessary to stand In
line and ask favors and. for another
worthier reason, when the govern
ment is not Just tipping, but brib
ery and an offense against the food
laws.
So we all welcomed the return oi
war rationing.

ROLLING STDSK IS SAVED

FORE BOLSIIEVIKI ARRIVAL.
American Consul Praised for Work
at Perm, Leaving Few Houas
Prior to' Shelling.
OMSK, via Vladivostok. (Corre
spondence of the Associated Press.)
Ninety per cent of the railroad rolling
stock in the Perm. Ekaterinburg and
Cheliabinsk districts was pulled out
before the territory waa given over
to the bolsheviki. according to Gen
eral Jack of the inter-allied technical
committee, who assisted In the evacu
ation. More than JO.000 freight cars
and approximately 600 locomotives
were saved.
The railroad bridge over the Kama
at Term, 70 yards long, was put out
of commission by the Siberian mili
tary before leaving. It is not so seri
ously damaged, however, that It can
not be easily repaired. - One complete
span was dumped Into the river.
The Kama fleet, 9 vessels, several
of which had been converted into gun
boats but later dismantled, waa acci
dentally burned.

thorities to remain at his post as late
as possible for the moral effect of his
presence on the population during the
days of evacuation. General Jack was
loud in his praises of Glaman for val
uable assistance rendered In keeping
trains moving.
The peasant population as well as
the bourgeotse fled before the bolshe
vik advance. Families loaded their
posessions onto carts or boxcars and
took the road east. Every country
road leading out was filled with these
carts moving in caravans, leading
cows and horses, often carrying pigs
and cows. It was not unusual to ftnd
a family of four or five crowded into
a boxcar with all their domestic ani
mals and household goods, bound
eastward with no fixed destination.
Practically no storks of merchan
dise were moved. The railway ma

Island's Attorney-General Makes
Investigation Planters Say
Agitators Responsible.
HONOLULU, T. H. Correspondence
of the Associated Press.) Charges
that Porto Kican laborers on Ha
waiian plantations' were oppressed
and denied equal justice, made in a
communication signed by a number
of Porto Ricans and placed before
the Porto Rlcan legislature on March
5, 1919, are declared by Tt. D. Mead,
secretary of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters' association, to -be without
the slightest foundation.
Mr. Mead said there is no discrimi
nation against Porto Ricans, that
their living conditions on the planta
tions are not as described in the pro
test and that, in his opinion, "the
whole thing was gotten up by agi
tators in' Honolulu headed by a dis
gruntled ex-plantation laborer."
The Porto Kican legislature de
manded an Investigation, and it his
been made under the direction of At
torney-General Harry Irwin of Ha
waii, with the assistance of the ter
rltorlal health board. A report will
soon be made to Governor C. J. Mc
Carthy for communication to Porto
Rico.
SHAH TO SEE AMERICA
Persian Ruler Will Visit England
and United States.
LONDON. An announcement that
the shah of Persia is on his way to
visit London brought intimations in
the newspapers that the government
would accord him an enthusiastic
welcome and all the pomp and pa
geantry of the visit that other shah
In Victorian days would be repeated.
All that Is now of no avail as the
Persian legislation announces that
"the visit of the shah is quite unof
ficial."
It ia considered Improbable that the
shah is traveling with more than a
few personal attendants. He is said
to be simple in his tastes, and cannot
fford ' to follow the tastes of his
father, who was accompanied by a
brilliant staff of more than 50 per
sons, while in London he will likely
be housed in the Persian legation.
The recent agreement by which
England becomes an Important fac
tor in Persian affairs makes the visit
doubly .imoprtant to the government.
Later the shah will visit the United
States.
RACE ORIGIN IS SOUGHT
Scientific Expedition to Visit South
Sea Islands.
HONOLULU. T. H. Largely fi
nanced by the trustees of the Ber
nlce Pauahi Bishop estate and the
Bernice Paupahl Bishop, museum, a
scientific expedition will leave Hawaii
next spring to spend two years in the
south seas In an effort to determine
the origin of the Polynesian race and
to trace Its various migrations until
Hawaii, the northeastern optpost of
Polynesia, was reached.
Bernice Pauahi was an Hawaiian
Princess who married Charles R.
Bishop, pioneer Honolulu banker. She
once declined an offer of the throne
of Hawaii. Her estate, valued at many
millions, provides revenue for a num
ber of institutions designed to pro
mote the interests of the native
Hawailans.
