Waiting Fo ir Rescuers Regi jiment's Participation With French Said to Be for 'Exercise" Only British Delegates' Program Here : London--Whitehall minimizes the German complaints about the cooperation of tho British cavalry regi-, tnent with the French in the military maneuvers in the Rhineland. The word "maneuvers" is a misnomer. All that is happening, it is averred, ia that "exercises" are taking place on small scale. The British desire to ithdraw all troops from the Rhine-land remains unabated, it was de-Empire Parliamentary Asso- clared, but while they are still there obviously they must be kept as cient as possible. Seeing that the regiment in question Is the only British monntod unit among the occupying troops the easiest way for it to receive its training is in co-operation with the French. It is assorted that the invitation issued by the French authorities is merely illustrative of the good comradeship existing between the British and French forces and has no deeper significance, and it is particularly emphasized that it is not the outcome of some sinister secret agreement arranged in connection with the recent ciation Due Aug. 24 at Quebec | SIX WEEKS' TOUR Provincial Governments Will i be Hosts From Coast to Coast | Ottawa.--WIth visits, meetings, receptions, dinners, lunches and a tour across the nine Provinces, delegates !of the British Empire Parliamentary [Association will spend six strenuous •weeks in Canada.

The principal celebration in Berlin took place recently in the Reichstag Building in the presence of President vonHindeuburg, all of the members of the Reich Cabinet except Foreign Minister Stressemann, the members of the Prussian Ministry, officials of the City of Berlin and high army and navy officers. The oration of the day was delivered by Dr. Gustav Rad- j bruch, professor of criminal law at Heidelberg, whose rather dry dis- St tribnt* he paid to President von Hind-eliburg as "the first soldier of the old Reich and the first citizen of the new Germany." Afterward the President inspected a guard of honor composed of Reichswehr troops drawn up before the Parliament Building. Munich Alone Refrains. In the evening another big meeting was held in the Kroll Opera House and addressed by Mayor Gustav Boess ofBerlin. This culminated in a giant torchlight parade through Unter den Linden of some 32,000 citizens drawn from various republican organizations. One of the most interesting celebrations was held in St. Paul's Church, at Frankflfort-on-Main--Germany's "Fan-euil Hall--which attracted pilgrims from all over the Reich as the scene of the National Assembly of 1848. Similar demonstrations or homage to the new state were held in all the cities of Germany, with the exception of Munich--the home of Hitler and Ludendorfl, and now the center of political reaction in Germany--where the city authorities sternly declined to public While the avowed purpose of Moscow is to pursue propaganda not only among the natives of colonies, but among the working classes, with a view to the destruction of capitalist society, it is difficult to invite Georgi Tchiteterin to come into the concert of peace-pledged powers. Mr. Tchit-cherin's argument appears to be that the exclusion of Russio indicates a desire to isolate that country, but the conservative French view is that Russia itself has elected to stand outside the existing civilization.

On th» other side is the apparent inability ot Russia, in the present circumstances, to drop its propaganda, which constitutes a warlike menace, thus making Russian participation mere mockery. Mr. Tchitcherin's solicitation is widely held to be only a part of his subversive methods just as the Russian proposition of complete disarmament at Geneva was meant demagogically to embarrass the great Painleve Hopes For Ministry of Peace Paris--As a step in the right direction, leading to the day wren ministries of war would be called ministries of peace, Paul Painleve the French War Minister, has now officially announced his intention of introducing a bill when Parliament reassembles to supplant the title of Minis-tryof War by that of Ministry of the Army.^ Recently in a public speech he said he wished his Ministry might be termed the Ministry of Peace This is apparently impossible now, but at least the word army is less bellicose than war--the term which has been used since the separate government department for this office was created in 1«30. Women and the Empire Eleanor F. Rathbone in The Woman's Leader (London): Not merely tire terminology, but the boundaries of the women's movement are changing. Like other movements, it is becoming more international, especially within the bounds of the British Empire. Some of us are imperialists; some of us are not. But so long as imperialism is an uneseapable fact, its responsibilities are also an uneseapable fact, and these, for the women of this country, include the welfare of all those women in India and the East whose wrongs, as compared to the worst wrongs of our past, are as scorpions to whips.
