RETIREMENT BILL
FACES DEADLOCK
House and Senate Conferees
will Split Over Age Limit of
Pension Measure.

A serious deadlock threatens the
conference on the Sterling -Lehlbach
retirement bill for Civil Service em-
ployes.
Instructing conferees to stand by
all its amendments, the House today
sent the retirement bill to conference
in which a long controversy will arise
over the difference between tn two
houses on the age requirement for
those eligible for pension.
Congressman Lehlbach, chairman
Of the Civil Service Committee, was
appointed leader OF the House con-
ferees, the others being Congressman
Fairchild OF Indiana. Republican, and
Congressman Goodwin of South Car
olina, Democrat.
According to all Indications the
House is determined to stand by it's
amendment fixing the age require.
ment of the great mass OF clerks in
the Federal and District government
eligible for retirement at sixty-five
years. On the other hand the Sen
ate conferees will insist that the age
requirement be advanced to seventy
years.
Under another amendment railway
mail clerks will be retired at sixty
years, while mechanics, city and rural
liter carriers and other postal-em-
ployes will be pensioned at sixty-two
years.

slaying, will be made within a few
days, according to the plans OF the
local authorities.
Physicians at the County Hospital,
where Harvey. who now says his real
name is Walter Andrews, is now con-
fined, believe he will have recovered
sufficiently from the results OF his
two attempts at suicide by the middle
of this week to make the trip to the
eastern part of San Diego county, near
the lower California line, where ne
says he killed and buried Nina Lee
Deloney.

last Thursday night.

President Lefevre Offers
Regret Over Incident.

PANAMA, May 3.-An anti
American demonstration was staged
in the streets of Panama last night,
and marred reception given to Gen.
John J. Pershing at the Union Club
here.
Two thousand Panamans paraded
through the streets in torchlght
procession, denouncing Americans.
Resent Occupation.
The underlying cause for the out
break was growing resentment
against the American occupation Of
the tiny Island of Taboga, which lies
lust off the Pacific entrance to the
Panama Canal, for purposes of forti-
fication.
The demonstration had the appear
ance of being well-organized. The
two thousand paraders met and pro-
ceeded at 10 o'clock to the Union
Club, where a brilliant reception for
the American nder-in-chief was
to be held.
Police Disperse Crowds.
30 great was the crush and con-
Illusion about the club entrance that
General Pershing's escort of army
officers was prevented from entering.
The guests waited for two hours and
then, being unable to gain entrance,
returned to thessrry post.
The native polio, dispersed the
crowd at the first ign of disorder.
President LefevI today expressed
profound regret . the incident be-
cause it marred eneral Pershing's
visit and inspection trip over the re-
public.
Taboga has an area of fifteen square
miles and a population of about 1000
persons. 1t is Panama City's princi-
pal health resort, and many wealthy
citizens have homes there.
Oppose Small Payment.
The occupation by the government
was in accordance with the terms of
the treaty of 1904, under which any
land of the republic could be expro-
priated for the purposes of the canal.
Resentment Of the populace OF
Taboga has been increased by the
| fact that payments for the land are
less than the owners had expected.

island by American authorities call

LONDON. May 3.--America did a

and through large merchant marine
enabled her to play part In foreign

am more skeptical. I do not be-
lieve America q few years hence will
be anything like so prominent in in
ternational trade or finance, or on the
, ocean routes as she imagines.
Her activities in these directions
may easily fzzle out, just as her de-
sire to be a leader in world-politics
fizzled out.
In one case as in the other. expert
ence may show that she is better Off
by staying at home.
Nations excel only in enterprises
for which nature or necessity has
fitted them. A small island like Eng
land only maintain it's relatively
large population by bringing raw
working them into finished goods and
selling them whereve buyers can be
found all over the world.
England lives by her foreign trade,
and to the development of that for
eign trade. two things are necessary;
First, a mercantile marine to carry
the goods she manufactures and to
bring back foodstuffs and raw mater
ials. and secondly, constant outflow
of capital to stimulate the markets
abroad.
RecapturinE Trade.
One of the most wonderful things
the world has even seen, is England's
recovery from the economic drain of
| the war. Since the armistice she has
been re-entering and recapturing one
by one the markets which in wartime
sne was forced to yield to her Amer
| ican and Japanese competitors.
England is rebuilding her merchant
| feet with the indomitable resolution
to remain as much as ever the center
and clearing house of international
commerce and finance.
The impulse behind these achieve
ments-the one thing that made them
possible-has been her conception
that otherwise she would be put out
of business altogether.
But America is in a very different
position. America is a continent that
is still amazingly underpopulated and
Iunderdeveloped. She has a domestic
market of more than 100,0OO,0O0 of
the greatest consumers and spenders
in the world.
Americas Position.
America has no need at present
she will have later-to bring either
food or raw materials from abroad.
She raises nearly everything she
wants on her own beautiful soil.
America is self-sufficient to degre

approaches. She is under no compul-
sion to develop a great foreign trade
