July 31 (AP) The Kellogg anti-war treaties were indorsed today by Senator Watson, republican of Indiana, one of the outstanding opponents of the League of Nations and the World Court. "The peace pact," he declared, "is simply an agreement among the many nations not to go to war and settle all disputes by pacific means. There is no machinery set up as a court of arbitration or to enforce any decree of arbitration that may be agreed upon. It is very like the treaty we have hid with Canada for 113 years. "There is to be no reference whatever to the League of Na tions or the World Court. In case of any difficulty with any other nation. If the other nation were to seek to have the matter In dispute referred to the League of Nations for arbltcatlon. the United States could simply refuse to agree to that stipulation and that would end it."

Twenty- Guard Fleet and pledge dto the best traditions of the-party, the editorial says in part:. "In asking a newspaper loyal to such a pledge and further com mitted to the sound American doctrine of obediance to the con stitution andthe law, to urge the people to support for president, a candidate, widely heralded as the hope of the nullificationists and who himself is on record for a pro gram of state interpretation which amounts to nullification and in spiration for law breakers, is ask ing too much." Referring to the telegram the editorial continues: . "This last act of course places Governor Smith's personal plat form above tnat of bis party ana makes the paramount Issue of the campaign constitutionalism and law enforcement as against nulli fication and law debasement. "To disregard the constitution and the laws thereon based or to even encourage such disregard is destructive t othe nation and of fensive to Its people. It is un American in spirit and destined to lead to anarchy and chaos, and the Patriot will not be a party to that." five of the fires are on private timber and in the Modoc national forest across the line in California. The Freemont fires are under con trol, according to forest rangers, who said the lightning storm was the worst in 30 years.

Is the Dean of all European rulers, hav ing entered his 72nd year. He Is perhaps the healthiest and strong est of those who have passed 50 years of age. After him In age come the fol lowing sovereigns: King Gustav of Sweden 70; King George of Eng land, 63; King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, 59; King Christian of Denmark. 58: King Haakon of Norway, 56; Queen Wllhelmina of Holland, 48; King Alphonse of Spain, 42; King Alexander of Ser bia. 40: King Boris of Bulgaria, 34, and King Mihal of Roumania, 7. Pone Pius and King Gustav are approximately in equal physical condition. Gustav could certainly beat the pope at tennis, but the latter would leave the Swedish ruler far behind in a mountaid climbing contest. All the same, the report has again circulated that the pope is ill with arteriosclerosis, but when it was .known at the Vatican It caused only laughter. "It Is one of a series of inventions," they said, "to which by this time we are Quite accustomed. They come from the usual manufactory which has its headquarters In Paris. It was only a short time ago that the same source invented the news that the pope bad had an apoplec tic stroke." That of the stroke was a mis take, because It cannot be con cealed, while all the many visit ors whom the pope receives every day without interruption are wit nesses of his perfect health. Instead, that of the arterioscle rosis was undoubtedly a better jtory considering the pope's age. However, those who are acquaint- 3d with what goes on inside the ratican know that Pius XI is an jxception among the last few pon tiffs in that he does not require medical advice as often as his pre decessors did. He has even sup pressed the weekly visit, which, according to papal cermonial, the archiater as the physician of the supreme pontiff is called should pay, following the protocol of the court of the holy see. With regard to the arterioscle rosis they tell at the Vatican a most Interesting anecdote. Some five or six years ago the rumor also spread, especially In France, that Pius XI was suffering from hardening of the arteries. An old Mexican lady, living In Paris, well known for her enormous wealth and exemplary piety, through a very high personage approached the pontiff. She informed him that she had had the same complaint; but, having submitted to a special treatment prescribed for her by a celebrated German professor at Munich, Bavaria, she had comple tely recovered. The Mexican "lady added, with MttntiftP-fbor "Bros- Gmw Ekr IT'S a mistake to go from one tire shop to another in search of tiro bargains. You can buy tires of famous Miller quality made in the great Miller plants under the highest standards in the business at av price that will suit you. You are pro tected by the Miller reputation for quality and by our reputation for serviceAnd you take no chances with either. Regardless of what you want to pay for a tire come here first and make your money go farther. ; Capitol great humility, that she consider ed the health of the head of the Catholic church so precious for all the faithful that she would be most glad Indeed, would consid er it a favor If she were allowed to send the same professor to Rome at her own expense to visit the pope and undertake the treat ment she had herself undergone. The text of the papal answer to the very Ugh personage who acted as go-between is not avail able, but It is known that It prac tically ran as follows: "Please thank our beloved daughter most warmly for her generous offer, which We have greatly apprecia ted, bat tell her that, thanks to the Almighty, We have no need of the treatment she suggested, as not only are 'We not suffering from the complaint she mentioned. but We have not even any tenden cy to it." This should put an. end to any talk of arteriosclerosis; but if it were not enough anyone who can have the privilege of. entering "the Vatican garden in the late after noon, when Pius XI takes his us ual "constitutional," will be con vinced that there is nothing the matter with him. His firm, rapid walk is not that of a septuagen arian, but of a man at least 15 years younger, nor Is this stren uous exercise made for a few min utes, as it lasts for one hour and a half and is carried on in winter despite the rain and wind and in summer despite tbe heat. In both seasons it is necessary for the pon tiff to change his clothes after his walks in winter because they are wet with rain, in the summer with perspiration.

His wife and brother witnessed the ac cident. The new secretary of Jhe Inte rior Is named West.

He plans to leave here by motor about noon tomorrow. The democratic presidential nominee gave every indication that until after tbe end of his holiday, at least, he would avoid discus sion of flolitics. Even the with drawal of part of William Allen White's, charges against his legis lative record evoked no comment except a reiteration of "nothing to say at this time."
