French public opinion became incensed when the pacifist delegates, at a session earlier in the week, hissed and booed the cherished French thesis of "No Disarmament Without Security" expounded to the Conference by that great French mathematician M. Paul Painlevé, former Premier and War Minister. Cardinal Verdier, Archbishop of Paris, sensed what was coming, refused to send a message to the Peace & Disarmament Conference, declared: "Catholics possess other means of making their ideas known on this delicate subject." Finally the Journal des Débats, often the voice of the French Government, denounced the Conference as "conceived . . . to force...
...speak of "an absence of interests common to Harvard men and the United States Military Machine." In this another manifestation of last year's pacifist policy, or are you writing without prejudice and pour le sport? Harvard has certainly as much in common with the cadets as it has with the teams from Texas, Michigan, Florida, or any of those "regional" universities which over-enthusiastic graduates living in the provinces are said to demand.

That is all that the Council of the League has been able to do so far in the presence of events of exceptional gravity. What a fine peace organization that is!" Army Out of Hand? Meantime, the Japanese armies continued to hold Mukden. The Japanese Cabinet expressed itself as being very much embarrassed. That, apparently, was just what the militarist faction intended it should be. The Mukden affair seemed to boil down...
Died. Dr. David Starr Jordan, 80, Chancellor Emeritus of Stanford University; of apoplexy after a long illness of arteriosclerosis and diabetes; in Palo Alto, Calif. Rugged, tall, white-maned, shaggy-mustached, he was Stanford's "Grand Old Man." He had made his influence felt throughout the world: as pacifist, ichthyologist and educator (TIME, June 28). He was chief director of the World Peace Foundation (1910-1914), president of the World's Peace Congress in 1915, vice president of the American Peace Society. He feared and worked to avert the World War, but said later: "Our country...
