THEY HIT THE TRAILS

Coblenz
tBy Associated Press)

Troyes, France, Sept. 6-Three

The men We're cornered after an
automobile chase of twenty-five
miles. The police assert that the au-
tomobile used BY the men which was
abandoned after the gas line supply
became exhausted was stolen from
the American contingent at Coblenz.
The bandits car first made its ap-
pearance Monday evening at $3.50
o'clock in a small village. Here the
occupants, with drawn revolvers, en-
tered the offices of a business firm,
forced the cashier to hand over the
contents of the safe and sped away

the faster of the two and disappear

The trail was caught up again this
morning when the Troyes police gave
chase. A running fight continued for
twenty minutes over a route run
ming through several villages, the
natives of which ran for cover from

He Has Saved Country
From Demnition
Bow Vows
is REDUCING EXPENSES
But Says Nothing About
High Tariff to Boost
Prices
(By Associated P-"ss.D


Washington, Sept. 6-President
Harding, in a letter reviewing their
achievements to date, of a republican
administration, particularly with re-
spect to congress, declared that "sur-
veying the national situation as a
whole it is plain that we are work
ing our way out of a welter of waste
and prodigal spending at most i'm
pressive rate"
The letter, made public today, was
written by the President under date
of August 30 to Senator Mccormick,
of Illinois, and it is understood will
be used in the campaign in New
Mexico where Senator Bursum, ap-
pointed to fill out the unexpired term
of Secretary of Interior Fall, is d
candidate for election. The letter, it
also is understood, is considered by
Republican leaders as reply to at
tacks on the legislative record of the
Republican congress by Chairman
White, of the Democratic National
committee and other leading Demo
Gratis.
Retrenched Poor Devils Out of Jobs

ward retrenchment and greatly in
creased efficiency the President as,
serts. | cannot but account it a
monumental accomplishment which
has marked the work of the extra,
ordinary session down to the time Of
its recess"
Looking to the future Mr.. Harding
in his letter, expresses the confident
hope "that congress after the recess
and before the end of the eXtraordi
nary session will adopt both the tar
iff and taxation measures, and that
along with these it will pass the bill
to permit funding the debt sowed Us
by foreign governments
This, | hope" the President adds
twill shortly be followed by arrange
ments under which the debtor coun
tries will begin paying interest OF
their obligations. Likewise l an
confident that the bill facilitating
the funding of the debt of the rail
ways to the United States will be
come law during the eXtraordinar!
session thus insuripg large and i'm
mediate demand for employment o
men now idle.
The Republican congress preced
ing the advent Of the present admin
istration is credited by Mr.. Hardin!
with having patiently and assidu
ousiy labored to reduce expenditures
with results (which we can summa
rize in the statement that the ap
preparations for the current fiSca
year will aggregate four and quar-
ter billion dollars and this is thre,
quarters of billion less than the eX
penditures for the previous fsca

Text of Document Not
Made Public and May
Never Be
ATTITUDE ASKED FOR
Would Guarantee Pro-
lection to All Peoples
in All Lands

Washington, Sept. 6-The position
of the American government on the
question of mandates has been set
forth more completely than hereto
fore, and especially in reference to
those of class A and B in a new note
to Great Britain, France, Italy and
Japan, and through some of them, it
is understood, has been submitted to
the meeting of the assembly of the
League of Nations at Geneva for con-
sideration.
Announcement was made at the
note was dispatched last week but
no intimation was given as to when
it would be made public, if at all.
Although officials would not dis
cuss the matter it is understood that
the note was forwarded after inqui-
ries had been received from some of
the overs as to the American attl-
tude toward the A and B mandates
for their guidance in possibly con-
sidering the allotment of some of the
former enemy territory at the Gene
va meeting.
AS early as May II, 1920, the
American government had taken
strong stand against the setting up
of any special privileges in mandate
territories, especially as involving
the oil lands of Mesopotamia and the
cable privileges of the Pacific Island
of Yap, the latter claimed as c
mandate by Japan.
In this most recent note Secretary
Hughes is understood to declare for
equality of treatment of all nations
and persons in trade and residence,
and concessions in all mandate ter
ritories. Not restricting the claim
to any particular class such as Me-
sopotamia or Yap, but applying it
to the three classes-A, embracing
those like former Turkish territory
which can be professionally recognlz-
ed as independent; B, including those
| like Central Africa to be administer
ed under conditions providing equal
opportunities for trade; and c, those
like southwest Africa and the south
ern Pacific Islands to be administered
as integral portions of the territory
of a mandate country.
In making its claim for the open
door in all mandate territories the
American government is understood
to have in mind the providing of suf-
! ficient safeguards for American mis-
sionaries as we'll as American busi-
ness men.

Depot at Crescent

Loss to Railroad
SDeciaI to the News


Crescent City, Fla, Sept. 6-The
Atlantic Coast Line depot at Cres-
cent City was destroyed by fire be-
tween one and two o'clock this morn
ing with all contents. The cause of
the fire is not known, but it is sup
posed to have been caused by the
careless throwing of a cigar or ci-
garette stub. About IS colored men
and women, who had come up from
DeLand to spend the day at a Labor
Day picnic and ball game were at
the depot to take the l a. m. train
south, and it is supposed that care
lessness from some of them in dis
posal of lighted stub caused the
fire
About 100 feet away stood the
tanks of the Standard Oil Company
one tank containing kerosene, the
other gasoline. The kerosene tank
blew up, but the gasoline tank with,
stood the heat. There was little all
stirring, but had there been breeze
it is likely that the packing plant
of Chase & Co. would have gone, anC
with this the fire would easily have
been communicated to the two Other
big plants adjoining, one of which
the new big plant of the STANDARD
Growers Association, is among tht
largest in the state. The fire wa!
we'll under, way when discovered, anC
nothing could be done to stay the
work of the flames.

Let us lay aside the camoufiage

DeValera. "If England is issu-
an ultimatum let it be an ulti-

War, not peace, would be the out
ne Of the imposition of England's
,posals by force, according to Mr..
Valera, who went on to assert
{ England had no basis in right

ireland and not dare to make such
nands upon power "even nearly
