In one-hal- New York. John T. Scopes, young Dayton, Term., high school teacher, has found himself the subject of all sorts of advice from New York liberals as to the conduct of his trial next month for violating the Tennessee law against teaching of evolution. While he favors accepting offers of aid from Clarence Darrow, Chicago criminal lawyer, and Dudley Field Malone, New York, others urged the selection of Charles Evans Hughes, former secretary of state, who recently returned to the practice of law here. United States Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania was also suggested. At a luncheon of the civil liberties union, which has guaranteed him financial backing, Scopes was plainly bewildered.He insisted he was to be the final arbiter in the choice of counsel to assist John R. Neal, former dean of the University of Tennessee, his friend and chief ocunsel. Speakers at the luncheon opposed Darrow and Malone and argued that outside counsel should be a man whose religious views could not be Darattacked by fundamentalists. row, speakers said, were reported to be an atheist. Scopes spoke three times in reply to various suggestions. He said he considered Darrow an agnostic , and as such would not prejudice any fair minded juror. He called himself an agnostic, devoutly religious in his own way. Supporters of the former secretary of state argued that Darrow's selection would inject the Leopold-Loemurder case into the trial and put a club in the hands of William Jennings Bryan of counsel for the prosecution. Darrow defended Leopold and Loeb and probably saved them from the death penalty for the murder of Bobby Franks in Chicago. Bryan in his speeches has held up the youthful slayers as specimens of the evils of "over education." Advocates of Mr. Hughes' selection believe he would accept. Scopes Indicated his willingness to accept any assistance which meets the approval of the civil liberties union. To that end a sub committee of the union will confer with him, Darrow, Malone and Neal. "I want this to be an epoch-makincase," he said, "and I don't want anything to spoil It." Scopes and Neal called on Dr. Henry Kairchild Osborne, president of the American museum of natural history and one of the foremost authorities on the Darwinian theory. Dr. Osborn declined to go to Tennessee as a scientific witness for the defense, but agreed to serve on an advisory board of lawyers and scientists. He warned Scopes not to become marked with radicalism in preparing for his trial. b g France Has Reply Ready Paris. The French reply to Germany's security pact proposal, upon which Great Britfan and France announced complete agreement at Geneva, will be forwarded to Germany within a few days. It has been sent to Brussels and Rome for approval. Belgium Is familiar with the note and officials said Its approval Is certain. Italy's assent Is confidently anIt is believed here that ticipated. Europe now is nearer security that at any time since the armistice and that a general settlement may come within a few months. It is said In French circles, however, that everything depends upon whether Germany is sincere in wishing a permanent peace. Alaska Government Reform Asked Washington. Centralization of the administration of government affairs in Alaska is advocated by Secretary Wotk. Nine of the ten executive departments of the governor now administer Aluskan affairs, he declared, and last year $10,467,004 was spent in federal administration, in which twenty-fivdifferent bureaus took part In controlling the 123 various government activities. e Body Incased In Lead Secaurus, N.

World corporation among nations for peace was visionod by President Coolidge in his speech at the Norwegian celebration here. America's success in molding a nation from polyglot peoples demonstrates "that there is a spiritual quality shared by all races and conditions of men which is their universal heritage and common nature," he said. "Powerful enough to hold this people to a high ideal in time of supreme trial, why may we not hope that the 4,me influence will at length reach men and women wherever found on earth?" the president asked. "If one were seeking proof of a basic brotherhood among all races of men, if one were to challenge the riddle of Babel in support of aspirations for a unity capable of assuring peace to the nations, I suppose no better testimony could be taken than the experience of this country." Stressing repeatedly the hope to mankind in what he termed "that advenmagnificent and wonderous ture, the making of our own America," the president recalled the doubts that beset its origin and drew from them inspiration for the future. "Out of the confusion of tongues, ethe conflict of traditions, the variations of historical setting, the vast differences in talents and tastes there has been evolved a spiritual union accompanied by a range of capacity and genius which marks this nation for a predominent i destiny. Tha American people have commanded the respect of the world." The president paid fine tribute to the part played by Norwegian stock in this building the nation, and his audience, many of them descendants of the pioneer Norwegian colonists who arrived at New York 100 years ago aboard the sloop Restaurationen, to which the president compared the arrival of the Mayflower, responded appreciatively. Hsing, Opposing Feng friendly to Tokio. , stands Chang the Manchur-iawar lord, reported to have the moral if not the actual physical support of the Japanese government.

Tso-Lin- n Already considerable quantities of arms and ammunition have been sent across the frontier from Russia, and the Russian army instructors have gone into inner Mongolia to cooperate with the officers of Feng. In some places steps have been taken to mobilize railroad equipment In Mongolia for Feng's troops while at other northern points railroad facilities have become a prize for active but inconclusive maneuvering.
