(Hy the Aaso clnted Press) The economic confer ence of Genoa, long heralded oa tho meeting of minds out of which would nrlxe a rejuvenated Europe; and a new order of International concord and pence today stands a desolate hulk In the vision 'of an expectant world. Out of weeks of negotiations has come tho Easter treaty of Kupallo between Germany and Russia, vir tually re-establiahlng tho old order of "balance of power;" decision to continue discussion ot. HuiHian re habilitations at The Hague without Russian representation and the manifeHtatlon of Irreconcilable dif ferences between Great Hrltaln and Franco on ways and means of Rus sian restoration. The political sub-Committee today approved of the agreement reached yesterday among , the convening powers to hold another meeting at The Hague beginning Juno X5, to further examine tho Russian ques tion. While adjournment of the Genoa gathering Is not yet definitely an nounced, the return of the guiding spirit, l'rlmo Minister Lloyd George of England, to London at the end of the present week Is made known, which, with the list of subjects which' various nations have announced may not bo discussed at th meeting, brings the assemblage to the limit of Its possibilities, with ono single ex ception, namely, tho non'-aggreaslon pact, suggested by Mr. Lloyd Oeorgo. Any meaningful action on thla sug gestion, however, soems remote in view of the boundary settlements In volved in the acceptance ot the ar rangement.

SCREEN STAR S Rudolph Valentino's Marriage to Miss Hudnut in Mexico Saturday Declared Subject to Criminal Proceedings Divorce Decree Not Final. L08 ANGELES, May 15. The marriage of Rudolph Valentino, screen actor, and Miss Wlnnlfred Hudnut, motion picture art director, which waa solemnlred at MexicaM, Mexico, last Saturday, is void in Cali fornia and the bridegroom has made himself subject to criminal process, according to Justices of the superior court. This condition Is due to the fact that Valentino obtained an Interlocu tory decree of divorce from Jean Ack ers, his first wife. In January, 1922. and that that decree will not become final until next January. According to the Judge Valentino is still married to Miss Ackers and therefore cannot legally contract an other marriage In California or any where else. Whether Valentino would be dis ciplined by the courts was not stated. Judge Thomas O. Toland, who granted the Valentino decree, declin ed to disctiBS the case today. Judge J. V. Summerfleld. who la also en gaged' In hearing divorce cases, con sented, however, to explain tho Uv. Judge Summerfield said that the en try, of an Interlocutory decree ot di vorce was nothing more than an or ter of the court that, nothing Inter fering, the parties would be entitled to a divorce after a year had elapsed If they attempted other marrlas within that year, he said, the result was bigamy. Inquiry at the Lasky studios, where Valentino Is employed, brought the Information that he was out of town for three weeks, lie was re ported to be doing some desert loca tion work In the Imperial valley. The studio management declined to discuss his marriage or what effect, If any. it would huve on his employ ment. ITS DUELWITH EDITOR MILAN.

To the Editor: My answer to the kleagles agreeing to take the work under certain conditions, was accepted and I was called upon the phone to appear. ' I appeared and was given the work from one end to the other. . The. obligation .and oath waa one that no Christian man could take ex ception to. Whoever wrote it must have been an artist for It certainly was a masterpiece. According; to that obli gation, any man who Violates any law of either the United States, your own state or city, could not be a good IKlansrqan. The work was beautiful and very impressive. If a man is not a better citizen after taking the work, he Is not a fit subject for any order or community. When all masks were removed, and I looked around the room into the faces of over two hundred men present, men from every walk of life in the community, I could not help but wonder, why the packing of so many guns in Medford? I not only heard every word of the obligation but read it over from the ritual afterwards to be sure that I was getting it as It really was. I believe that with the class of ten that went tn at the time, we received It in Its entirety. But I did find an objection, and I so stated In my talk to them when called upon. I am sorry that the mask is used at all, although they tell me that It is to be used only in the lodge room as paraphernalia and upon the public streets in a parade. If the wearing of the mask was entirely eliminated, 1 firmly believe the attitude of the pub lic toward the Klan would be entirely different. The wearing of the mask gives the crooks and men of evil minds the opportunity to do unlawful acts under the guise of the Ku Klux Klan. If any member of the Ku Klux Klan violates the laws of our community or country, I assure the public that he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for outside of the crime com mitted, he has violated his obligation as a klansman.
