reaction to the results of the seven
power conference in London, Judged
by tho yardstock of press comment,
is disappointment without vlolonce.

There is criticism of the uelchs-

But even the opposition newspapers
refrain from violent attacks on Chan
cellor Bruenlng for falling to leave
London with a couple of billion marks
In his grip.
The nationalist Boersen zcitung,

doubtedly did what ho could in his
position as supplicant. "The totter

underpinned," the paper says and
adds that the conference amounted
to a small creditors' meeting end
that the leaders of the participating
nations still seem unable to grasp
the gravity of the world situation.
The Boersen zeltung expresses hope
that realization is dawning that rep

HEVERLY mhhH, Cul., July
24. Two trips I would lilto to
have been on: Ouo was Ktore'l
away in the tail of Post unci
(iatty'g ship and the other is
with Hiirniird Shaw and Lady
Astor In Itusxia (maybe stored
away in Bernard's beard). Tho
laiiKliM there will be on that
trip, for Lady Astor can hand
'cm out about as fast as Old
Applo Cart can. Well, it's finw
if they have fixed it so' Ger
many will pull through. There
is one debt they ought to wipo
out entirely, for it had no rea
son ever existing, and that's
for "the armies of occupation."
That was just sitting over tha
grave of a dead man for a year
to sec if he was coming to I i Co
and then charging his family
the price of the sitting. Boys
brought homo enough fine fat
German girls to pay for that
trip.
