RUPTURE AT SPA
 CONFERENCE TO BE
 AVOIDED IS BELIEF
Progressive Dem0bilizatiOn Plan, However, is Re-
 jected

Spa, Belgium, July 7.-The German plan for progressive demobilization to 100000 men in fifteen months was presented to the representatives of the allied governments here this af- ternoon and was declared unsatis- factory to the allies.
 The Associated Press is informed by a prominent member of the con- ference. It will be examined ser iously, however, and acted upon af- ter the exports report tomorrow.
 The impression in allied circles tonight is far more favorable than yesterday, for the presentation of the German plan opening the way for discussion and removing the danger of rupture.
 The allied demand is for immediate destruction of 12,000 cannon. which the allied commissioners in Germany have under guard, together with 5O,- 900 machine guns. Germany desires to destroy the guns at the rate of 1000 month. The allies hold that this is not sufficiently rapid, and express fear that the machine guns will fall into the hands of insur- rectionists.
 The military experts of Germany and the allies began an examination of the German plan immediately after adjournment.

HARDING WRITING
 ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
 HE'LL MAKE JULY 2
Senator Seemingly Not Both- cred by Cox's Campaign
 \ Plans

Marion, O., July 7.-After several weeks spent in preliminary prepara- ton Senator Harding today began the actual writing of his speech to be de- ilvered July 22, accepting the repub- llcan presidential nomination. He expects to complete it in about ten days and meanwhile plans to see few visitors.
 Tn order to get an early start, the senator arrived at his office in the admlnlstration building adjoining his home several hours earlier than usual today, but found it locked. Seating himself on the front porch, he waited until George Christian, his secretary arrived and unlocked the door.
 Followlng custom, acquired in ac- tive newspaper work, Senator Harding IS writing his speech with a pencil on scratch pad from which it will be later copied on, typewriter.
 "l am writing it as I used to write for the newspaper said Senator Har- ding. "It's habit of 30 years stand ing. wite as I think"
 According to his office, the senator never dictates a speech after it has been written in long hand, seldom makes changes in his copy.
 The announcement by Senator John son of California today that he would support the republican ticket greatly pleased Senator Harding. The state ment did not come as surprise, how ever, as it had been understood around the Harding headquarters that that would be the California senator's at- titude.
 T am glad Senator Johnson is going to give the ticket his support" the republican ominee said. q am glad to know everybody's support" he ad- ded, "and l would rather have sup port on the grounds that our platform is appealinf than on the grounds of interest in the nominees" the Ohio senator added that throughout the campaign, he intended to empha- size interest in party"
 'It's going to be fad in the cam paign," said Senator Harding.
 Attention. was called to statements credited to Governor Cox, the demo- cratic presidential nominee, that he planned an intensive campaign with an extended speaking tour through the country.
 ''I should imagine he would, but that does not change my plans any," Senator Harding said.

Washing ton, July With weather conditions favorable the cotton cron made a good to eX- ccllent progress throughout the belt during the last week, accord ing to the weekly bulletin of the department of agriculture issued tonight. The warmer weather and abundant sunshine was especially favorable in the northeastern por- ton of the belt where cool wealth CT had persisted.
 "Gotton is somewhat backward in most sections of the belt" the report said, "but it is well culti- vated and the plants are fruting satisfactorily except in places where weevil are numerous, but weevil damage so far has been generally light in most sections where they have appeared. The recently warm and mostly fair weather has been instrumental in holding weevil activity in check"

lie refused, however, to heed either
advice or warnings and set out in
search of land. After much effort he
discovered a single spot not covered
by water and alighted. But he found
it only deep mud. So he decided to
hunt farther for some dry place on
which to rest. But alas, when he
came to fly, he found his tail feathers
stuck fast in the mud.
He pulled and pulled, but could not
get them loose. Finally, however, af-
ter gigantic tug. he managed to free
himself. But bits of mud stuck to the
end of the tail feathers. And to this
day turkeys have dark spots there
sign of their disobedience to divine
command
The turkey plays more important
part in the life Of the Indian than in
his legends alone Not only is it re-
garded as choice article of food, but
In many tribes 1t is held sacred. In
the parts of the country where curious
devotion to animals characterizes
different stages in the develop
ment of clvlliZation-it was never eat
en- except when other food was I'M
Obtainable.
Turkey feathers rank next in impor-
lance to those Of the eagle with all
tribes, while the Apaches, the Pamun-
keys and Cheyennes chose the turkeys
feathers for all ceremonial headdresses
and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe
also used turkey feathers for orna-
mental purposes on their clothing. as
well as for their headgears. To this
day, when they don their native cos
tunes, the turkey feather is preferred
as ornament.
If Benjamin Franklin's words had
been needed, the turkey would have
been the national bird of the United
States. The eagle is a first cousin to
the species known Of old in the eastern
hemisphere. Furthermore, it has ap-
peared upon the banners of many ma
lions. It was a symbol of the Roman
empire. It was known in China for
ages, and today it appears upon the
banners of Russia, Germany and sew
eral other nations.
The turkey, however. is indigenous
to America. When the early Eu-
ropean adventures and settlers ar
rived they beheld great flocks of tur-
keys, and it soon became known that
they were a favorite food among the
Indians. After a while turkeys were
proudly sent home as trophies of the
chase. In this way the turkey became
practically a wOrld-favorite as a food.
When Cortes in 1919 assembled to the
plateau of Mexico he found a social
life developed to high degree of re-
finement He was entertained with
oriental magnifcence. All the deli
cacies to be found within the emDire
were set before him, and though game
was abundant, the turkey held the
place of honor among the fowl. This
was the first time that the Spaniards
had eaten turkey.

/ Slppi. His explorations were chiefly in
what is today Texas, Arizona and New
! Mexico. In all the Indian villages, ac-
! cording to those early explorers, tur-
keys were to be found, both wild and
dOmesticated.
Cortes. in one Of his famous letters
written about 1918, mentions the tur-
key. He carried specimens of the bird
to Spain in 1920, where they came into
Immediate popularity, and the breed
ing Of turkeys soon became establish
ed. 1t was then that the turkey be-
came known as 'pavos," on account
Of his relationship to the peacock,
which was then called 'pavo real
the fowl of kings.
1t was long time before the tur-
key reached France, as far as can be
learned from history, for the first tur-
| key eaten there was at the wedding
of Charles TX and Elizabeth of Aus
tria, June q, 1879, or so years after
Spain had first tasted the bird The
turkey supplied for the wedding came
from somewhere in the American
wilderness"
It's introduction into England seems
to have been in 1924 But, whenever
It was, it soon came into popular favor
and was given such local names as
Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge.
It is an interesting fact that these
descendants of the parent stock were
carried back again across the Atlantic
ocean to New England, where, crossed
with the original turkey already there,
they began the breed that has spread
from one end of the country to the
other.
Many have been the explanations
made as to how the bird now so popu-
lar at Thanksgiving came to be called
the turkey, most of which, to the true
scientist, are nothing but fanclful The
bird was called turkey because it was
supposed to come from Turkey, where
It was known as an Egyptian hen.
The markets of north Europe received
this fowl as coming from south Eu-
rope, directly or indirectly from Tur-
key. In France, however, the bird was
called "dindon," or in the feminine
"dinde," as though 1t were the fowl
d'Inde-from India.
But whatever dispute has arisen as
to the name of the turkey, the fact yet
remains that the turkey is indigenous
to America. Although scientists be-
lieve it is possible that there was a
species, the original of the present tur-
key, indigenous TO the West India is
lands, it Is generally conceded that all
turkeys have descended in some way
or other from the three forms known
today as the North American, the Mex
lean and the Honduras, the ocellated
variety.
The Mexican turkey is found wild
throughout the republic 1t appears to
be the species first taken to Spain and
other European countries. 1t is
thought that the white markings of the
variety of domestic turkey known to-
day as the Narragansett come from
this species.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
ed through falling to secure that place
Of honor suggested for 1t by Benjamin
Franklin-as the national biFd-it has
nevertheless found a place in the re
gard Of the American people which is
held. by no other fowl--at least at
Thanksgiving.
