Franklin D. Roosevelt, Commissioner L. Little and Senator George Fearon of Syracuse! Horrors of War Recalled By Hickok as He Flies Over Slowly Vanishing Trenches Deplores Waste of Time By Boresome Translations At Advertising Convention By II. V. KALTENBORN'.

(Staff Correspondent of The Eagle.) Berlin. Aug. 15 mail) The 25th anniversary convention of the International Advertising Association has passed into history. Was it a success? Participants, officials, hosts nnd guests respond with an enthusiastic The gathering was large, the attending notables were numerous, the program was excellent, the hospitality was munifice. the arrangements were perfect and a good time was had.

And yet, and yet! If one, who doesn't like conventions, and who has never attended an advertising invention before may be permitted to express a doubt about this one, the doubt is herewith expressed. Mass production is usually economic. But mass productions in speeches, meetin5s, fellowship, literature, hul-'aballoo and ballyhoo as developed at this kind of a convention is intolerably wasteful. Most Speeches Dead Loss. As delivered 90 percent of all the speeches were a dead loss.

Only a small proportion of the delejats came to hear them and a smaller proportion heard them after they came. The acoustics of the huge Radio Hall, where the first meetings were held, were abominable and the loud speaker reproduction made matters worse. When dry speeches are rend from manuscript by poor readers for three hours on end human beings who stay through the performance are wasting their time. Fortunately most of the delegates knew that. They either didn't come or didn't stay after they came.

The translation of speeches is an-ither bore than should never be indicted on an audience. It is a time-wasting performance and an unfair on human patience. Few interpreters are good speakers. Most people who attended this Berlin convention had some little knowledge of a second language. Formal speeches of welcome and response are so much ollke anyhow that there is no point In translating them.

As some were in German, some in English and some in French, everyone would have been quite satisfied to miss those he could not understand. They were translated only to flatter the vanity of those who delivered them. Edward Fllene of Boston hnd agreed to pay for the cost of installing "instant translation" devices, by which translations are transmitted to delegates through earphones while the speaker delivers the original. Technical difficulties blocked this plan. No Chance for Debate, But this, too, is quite unnecessary.

All the important convention speeches were available in manuscript form. The only thing worth while for the delegates would have been an opportunity to contradict, debate and discuss the assertions these speeches contained. That opportunity they never had. For example, the German Newspaper Publishers gave a luncheon for the American newspaper men to discuss newspaper problems. Instead of having an opportunity to LAGUARDIA SAYS HE WON'T CEASE CALLAGHAN FIGHT Continued from Page 1.

walked to the door, a sign that the Interview was terminated. "Get thi3 straight," he concluded. "Nothing can be gained by givin? Tammany anything. I'm on Mc-Cooey's trail and I'm going to stay there until he indorses Callaghan or until I beat him. Don't forget that." LaGuardia's deli was tossed across the river at a time when most of the Republicans were out of town over the week-end.

but It is Inlr to pre diet that the reaction will be far ry-v. uum pleasing. ucjr ncvi-i ncic very warm toward LaOuardia, and his refusal to listen to thenj in their own county row is sure 10 increase the frigidity of the atmosphere. Thought Decision Was Made. A subordinate in LaOuardia headquarters offered the explanation that the Congressman believed when he started after McCooey that the boss had definitely rejected Callaghan and made up his mind to nominate a Democrat, possibly County Judge Alonzo G.

McLaughlin or Boxing Commissioner George fc. Brower. That was the prevailing opinion cn both sides of the fence several weeks ago, but the more optimistic Republicans here were inspired by the hope that public opinion, developed more deftly than by La-Guardian's blunt methods, would decide the issue in their favor. They held their breath when La-Guard'ia trained his guns on MC- Cooey. They lost it altogether when he continued firing.

They believe that McCooey will turn down Cal-lachan, if for no other reason than to defeat LaOuardla's desire in that connection. Open on Bench Issue. LaGuardla virtually opened his campaign on the issue of a nonpartisan bench taking the courts out of politics. When Republican County Leader Clinton J. Sharrett of Staten Island refused to indorse County Judge J.

Harry Tiernan, a Democrat, LaOuardia told him publicly that he had erred. Sharrett stood his ground a.W LaGuardla retreated. Just when he was ready to go after Tammany Leader John F. Curry, Curry promised to Indorse Supreme Court Justice Edward Finch and the battle was over before it had begun, William M. Bennett, the dry candidate contesting LaGuardia's right to the party nomination, sent out letters appealing for support to 5,000 real estate operators throughout the city yesterday.

Sees Values Depreciated. "I have received a large number of letters from Republican and independent voters financially interested in New York City real estate," he explained, "who point out that their investments nave suffered from close proximity with speakeasies flourishing in the vicinity of the properties." 'Bennett said he was seeking the support of the Union League Club, which opposed him in 1917 when he defeated the late Mayor John Purroy Mitchel in the primaries. Continuing his attack on speakeasies and the failure of the police to close them, Bennett said: "I received a letter from a supporter with a diagram showing the exact location of a speakeasy doing business almost directly In the shadow of Police Headquarters. This correspondent has made a neat drawing showing the street location of the speakeasy with another square marking Police Headquarters In the cfllng." MYSTERY VEILS KILLING OF MAN Salvatore Cipoia, 25, a shirt maker, living at 76 E. 3d Manhattan, was shot and killed shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon as he stood in a rear room in Ralph Alal-mo'i tailor shop at 228 Chrvstle st.

Alalmo was taken to he Elizabeth Street Police Stattion for questioning after Commissioner Whalen, Chief Inspector John O'Brien and Deputy Chief Inspector Edward P. Muirooney had reached the scene. He denied all knowledge of the shooting. Ho said that 'itxila. an acauaint- ance of his, used to go to the shop to talk.

Cipoia visited him a lew minutes before I o'clock today, he said, and after a few words went to the rear room, the door and window of which were open. Then Alalmo heard a shot ar.d, running in, found Cipoia with a bullet in his heart. No revolver was found. U.S. BOARD PLANS FARMERS' SURVEY Washington, Aug.

English conservatism is being blamed by government officials for tho "failure" of the English-India air mall. The large airplane which leaves London every Saturday lor Karachi has a capacity of a ton of mall, but since the service started, Mach 30, the average load has not been more than one-quarter of that amount.

7.00QTOSTRIKE Demand 44-Hour Week and 20 Percent Increase in Wages for Peace. A strike or 7.000 embroiderers, hemstitchers, pleaters and tuckers will be called within 48 hours, Jacob Halpren, vice president of the Inter national Ladies Garmen Workers Union, announced last night, follow, ing a meeting of union and empoyef representatives at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Tho decision of the Pleaters and Stitchers Association, the employers body, representing 80 percent of the production in the embroidery and allied trades, to refuse the demands of the union for a 44-hour week and 20 percent wage Increase, according to Mr. Halpern, necessitated the calling out of the workers. Herman Berger, attorney for the employers' group, expressed a willingness to meet the union representatives a-rain in an effort to avert ihe strike.

"We feel, however," he said, "this is not the opportune time for the employers to grant the demands oC the union, inasmuch as we bellevo that the union should first of all establish the existing scale in all of the shops in the industry. Actually, most of the shops don't live up to the present agreement which includes a minimum wago scale of $55 a week," NICARAGUA CRASH KILLS ARMY FLIER Managua, Nicaragua, Aug. 31 Dwight J. Canfleld of Minnesota, American Army pilot of a bombing-plane which crashed here yesterday on its wy to Panama, died last night in the U. S.

Marine Hospital. Until shortly before his death he was thought ot have good chance for recovery. The cause of his death was said at the hospital to have been more from shock than from his injuries. Lieutenant Harmon, who piloted one of the lour Army bombers which had just taken off for Panama when the accident occurred, blamed it on failure of Lieutenant Canfleld's motors. One motor failed when about five miles from Managua and Canfleld turned back toward the field, apparently keeping his altitude.

Lieutenant Harmon, and Lieutenant Davles in two other bombers, turned back with him. Just before reaching the field one wing of Lieutenant Canfleld's plane struck a tree over densely wooded -ground. DEATHlTslONDS OFF, 5MEN SAVED (Special Correspondence ol The Eagle. I Melbourne, Australia Five men in a boat on the River Yarra hid a narrow escape from death When the burning fuse of a submarine blasting charge that they had ls'-d became fixed to the keel of tho boat. They were saved by the diver in their party, who courageously went" below and, groping through the: muddy water, cut the fuse when lt -had reached within eight inches of the charge.

Subsequent tests showed that 25 seconds later tne men would have been blown to piccM. During blasting operations in the River Yarra the men had laid a powerful charge under a rocky shelf In 10 feet of water and attached to it a 20-foot gunpowder fuse. They then had 12 minutes in which to reach safety, 100 yards distant, but their boat refused to move. They glanced over the stern and saw that the fuse was wedged in the keel and the charge was being dragged with them underneath the boat. The diver at once descended and slashed through the fuse.

Peace Garden Proposed For U. Border Montreal A proposal to create a 400-acre garden on the border between Canada and the United States, to be known as the International Peace Garden, whloh will stand as a memorial to the peaceful relations between the two countries for the last 100 years, was discussed at the annual convention of the International Association of Gardeners in Toronto. The question of the site for the garden was held in abeyance until a future meeting, but a strong bid for the garden to be laid out on the frontier of Maine or Vermont was placed before the delegates. It was suRgested that $5,000,000 be set up for the project, to be created by a 25-cent contribution from each adult in Canada and the United States and a request for 8 cents from every school child.

On the heels of the recent outbreak of typhoid fever that i-wept Camp Tabor, near Lake Como, Lakevood. where a number of Brooklyn and New York girls, became infected, a sharp controversy-raged yesterday between the health authorities of the two States. The exchange of recriminations was tanned bv the discovery here of two new caes of the disease, one In Brooklyn, among children returned from the camp and the fear of local officials that the outbreak would spread. Wynne Opens Battle.

Health Commissioner Shirley W. Wynne started the interstate verbal battle with a sharp letter to the State Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania, in which he criticized the Wayne County, authorities for failing to notify the New York Department of the outbreak at the camp. Under interstate quarantine regulations, he pointed out, the Pennsylvania officials should have notified the health departments every city represented in the camp. The discovery that New York children were infected was made, Dr. Wynne said, by a local Health Department check-up on the roster of the camp obtained by Inspectors sent to Pennsylvania.

Many of the children, he said, had not had their ailment correctly diagnosed after returning fro mthe camp, and were being treated for gastroenteritis, Action. Dr. Wynne branded the failure of the Pennsylvania authorities to notify the New York department as "particularly discouraging" and as nullifying the efforts of officials here to stamp out the disease. Dr. Harry C.

White, Wayne County, Pa medical director, informed of Dr. Wynne's criticism, passed the buck to Harrisburg. "After a telephone conversation with the Health Department at Harrisburg," he said. "I was authorized to close the camp with the understanding that the 21 patients should return to their homes, notify their physicians and remain under observation for two weeks. "It, was my undestanding that the Ftate Department would notify the New York authorities of the situation." Dr.

J. Moore Campbell, chief of the Bureau of Communicable Diseases of the Pennsylvania Health Department, said his bureau had no criticism to make of Dr. White's method of handling the situation. He gave no explanation, however, of his lailrue to notify the New York authorities. Dr.

Campbell said Dr. White could not be blamed for p2rmiUuv; the camp to disband the exposed children to return to their homes. "A battalion of the Nationa' Guard coula not have kept thos" children there," Dr. Campbell declared. "Their parents, scared by sensational stories inJth -Jfew Yoik newspapers, came "and: took thcio away." 49 Cases Reported.

The two new cases of typhoid discovered yesterday brln? the total traced to the Camp Tabor outbreak to 49. Of these, 11 children are in hospitals here. Fearing a spread of the dread disease throughout the greater city Dr. Wynne ordered a careful "cheCK-up of the 230 persons in the city known to cjny the innumerable typhoid bacilli.

Lady Alexander was held down in bed and threatened with death if she made a noise.

Her personal maid, who tried to go to her assistance, as pinioned against a wall by a man who threatened to murder hrjr. Lady Alexander, suffering from shock and brviscs on the throat and hands, told a reporter of her adventure.

Comniegne is close ahead, and to the left, if one traces the railroad line carefully, can be seen the sidetrack in the woods where the Germans came to sign the armistice. The hill near it is called the Mount of Mars. Compiegne passes below, neat, white, a rich town, the gardens of its chateau stiff and formal in sym-etrlcal curves, then more foreak to the left. We fly along the edge, looking down on roads that were once packed with men and guns and trucks and tanks, moving; up for a great surprise attack.

Strange Sand Peak. The forest ends. There is the town of Verberle. A mere flat zigzag in the otherwise straight road shows the hill that seems such a death defying thing in a motorcar. A little stretch of farm land and then comes more forest, the Forest of the Halatte, northwest of Senlis.

By squinting very hard off there 10 the right one can see a patch ot white In the green. It is miles away. Two summers ago, while on vacation, I used to climb to the top of that white patch, a strange peak of sand among the trees, and lie watching the sun go down and tho pheasants stalking about, and watch this very evening plane winging its way southward toward Paris. The little dream village, with its one telephone, its 68 houses, its one street, so clean, Its' one inn, so many miles from Paris, is quite invisible In the trees. Odors Spoil Villages.

20 (By Mall) The great gray Brussels Palais de Justice has slipped back on the right, and below is the fine Forest of Soignes with Waterloo out there by the end The country below is no longer flat. From up here the hills are scarcely apparent, but one can tell from the shadows that the land lies unevenly. There are few cattle now and many irregular fields. Lovely clumps of trees isolate buildings like French chateaux. So many farms, such big fields, and the faclcties so few and small, make It difficult to realize that Belgium is the Industrial country-par excellence, that before the war, at least, she had the biggest industrial output per man In the world Maybe she lias yet.

Over Coal Country. We are following the road from Brussels lo Mons, a white ribbon between trees, concrete we know, because we can see the iron cross bars. We are still north of Mons, but in the coal country. The fields to the left are dotted with sharp pyramids of ruck at the mouths of coal pits. Flat here.

We could land anywhere. The woman behind, from the look on her face, is wondering what we should do if a wing dropped off. Mons extra big coal mine pyramids here, and a big prison. We can see down into the fan-shaped exercise yards, can see little dots of men, still looking up no doubt between the high walls. Wonder what we make them think about.

Mons, we remember, is one of the first towns the "Contemptible Little Army" retieated from. And when the British came back in 1918 singing a song about "Bill the Sailor Man," a very tough song, the populace thought it was the national anthem and stood bareheaded. The map shows another Irregular dotted line, the French frontier, south of Mons. We all look verv hard below but we cannot see it. We cannot even distinguish the little customs inspectors' houses that must be there on those north and south roads.

Where Brooklyn Men Died. There are many little sprawling villages below and ahead, one that the map says is Le Cateau. Is that the Le Cateau? It must be. There is the silver ribbon of the Canal of the Sambre a l'Olse. To the rigtat is a cluster of houses the map says is Buslny, and a canal that disappears into a tunnel.

It must have been about here. Well, ask any 106lh Infantry man what happened. Somewhere down there is Bony Cemetery, where many Brooklyn men lie under white crosses. The crazy-quilt French fields still show scars of battle. They are all tilled now, but in the freshly plowed ones are little patches ot white on the brown, plowed -over shell-holes, bunched where the ground is high.

We are coming to St. Quentln. In the plowed fields white zig-zag lines are visible. They start vaguely of the brown, wind their way aimlessly across a few fields and fade Into brown asaln. Those were trenches in the years of immobility Down there in St.

Quentln in a garage is Bill's car in which we started so p-ayly to The Hane. Ten days and $40 in repair bills William will have to pay for melting down a bearing. And there is the big church before which we wore once photographed in uniform, while it was still in ruins. We looked like a real soldier, not a mere correspondent prowling about after the danger was over. More Trenches Sighted.

More trench marks show south of 3t. Quentln, away to the east and away to the west, all plower smooth, but with the chalk at the surface, each year a little less visible. We are following a very straight road now. There ahead is Ham. As we flv over Ham we look verv hard.

It was at Ham Just 10 days ago at midnight that we tried to aroiise a Ras merchant and had to await his normal waking hour. There is the crooked main street, the white town hall and the horrible church, very fmall, but still very horrible. Was that woman dead now who sat barefooted in the lighted room with a towel over her face? We'll have to ask when we get to Paris. It was at Ham that Jim McC-mnell. the Lafayette Squadron, fell in '18, and so did many, many others.

Ham is behind us now: Noyon is coming up. Hills and valleys lie between the towns and woods, moth-eaten. These woods were heavily shelled and dead trunks still show through the new growth of green Noyon has its two-towered cathedral, from above not Notre Dame. "The Germans are still at Noyon," old Clemenceau used to growl, driving the government into action. Scene of Artnintire Blrninf.

The sun is getting low. The reat mat of the forests arotmd Com-peigne are dark, dark green, except where hilltops are still touched with lhht. All the village churches below us are new, and of 'W. The old stone ones were too good as do that they listened to a series of speeches by their guests which were too brief and too one-sided to go to the root of any problem and yet too numerous to keep the program within reasonable hourds. It w-'sa polite, pleasant, friendly occasion but as far as givin? publishers on both sides of the water a real opportunity to discuss common and special problems it was a dead loss.

The routine handling of the delegates by the Eerlin hosts was an admirable piece of organization. Every-thing functioned "planmaessK" from the moment one called at the busy Reichsbank headquarters to receive the bronze key which truly opened all Berlin's doors. Deluge of Literature. A prodigious amount of high grade advertising matter was showered upon the delegates. Hardly an hour passed during any day of the convention when the hotel porter was not sending packages, samples, magazines, invitations, special newspapers, and circulars to the writer's room.

It would have been a physical impossitslity even to look at this material without devoting all one's time to it. Which means that most of it was wasted. The amount of entertainment provided for the delegates by the -renerous Berlin committee is evidenced by the book of 61 separate admission and entertainment coupons handed to each delegate and wife of the delegate upon arrival. To do everything one had the right to do free of charge by using these coupons would have required as many weeks as the convention lasted days. The Advertising Exhibition which opened in connection with the convention was disappointing to most delegates because it was almost exclusively German.

But the United 8tates rarely bothers much about international displays.

No doubt word has reached the United States that at the big banquet attended by 2,500 delegates and guests one-and-a-half bottles of wine were served to each guest. As the American delegates were the most numerous they are blamed for the large consumption. It should be said in their defense that OermBn ofllcial banquets last a long, long time, that the wine was not heavy and that there were as many half-filled bottles as empty bottles left on the tables when It was all over. On the whole the delegation handled its drinking with circumspection.

The temptation was constant, the weather was warm, it was not always easy to get water, and a smooth-tasting wine carried little of alcoholic strength. Yet few fell by the wayside. were begun with the Twitchell estate. This week Oak Villa became a reality when the "home" took possession of its new mansion.
