Forvitru Secretary Hal four com plained that ho had heard no really practical suestions from niemhers for the attainment of the objects in view nor any indication where an in ternational police force to enforce contracts between nations could be found. Tariffs Held Necessary Unquestionably, he continued, n league of nations could not afford to deprive its armory of economic weapon.-. It is perfectly tn that the economic weapon is capable of misuse us witness (iernmn's policy in Russia, hut he saw no sign of any country consenting to abandon the employment of tariffs if it consider ed them necessary. Mr. Italfour also contended that universal disarmament only was pos sible if it could be proved that tbe new international agreement had ma chinery for keeping the world's peace successfully. 'The last four years," continued the foreign secretary, ''have convinc ed the nations that war is n very costly, bloody and brutnl tiling, but mil that it is u thing to be thrust aside.

The flil ficullies in the way of es tablibing such a league were so se rious, be atlded, that only by the uni ted efforts of all men of good will could it he put into execution.

HUNS IN FULL RETREAT. (Continued From rage One.) Farther toward Ithelms, dispatches indicate that the important town of Villo-Kn-Tardenols has been sur rounded by the Americans and French. Reports reaching London say the success of tho allies on the western side of (he line is the most important uccompllshment since the German re treat from the Marne. The view taken Is that the advance on Thurs day was the turning point of the campaign, and possibly of the whole war. 'vrninn.s Face Hummcring While reports received In this country have not shown the grounds lor this view, It seems clear that the German retreat must now be hurried if the enemy Is to escape a terrible pounding from the ullles' heavy guns. Seven hundred prisoners were cap tured by the French, British and Americans, bringing the total for the second Marne battle to over 34.000. British and French troops from their new positions outflank the Ger man line northward to Soissons. Reports from the battle zone say tho Germans are fighting to the bit ter end.
