LIVES OF WOMEN
 SAVED BY BOYS

Albany June 24-tSpecial) )-Hsr- man Popenberg, aged II years. and Roy Best, aged IA years, both of this city, may be recommended for Car negie hero medal as a result of their successful efforts yesterday after noon to save from drowning Mrs. W. o. Porter and Miss Ora Lee Wear, who were in bathing in the Tennes- see river here.
 Mrs. Porter became exhausted while about 25 feet from the bank. Miss Wear attempted to render as sistance, but became exhausted also. Their cries for help were heard by the youths, who immediately went to their aid and pulled both to the bank, where they were given first aid by older persons who had reached the scene in the meantime.
 Neither of the bathers was hurt and both are able to be out again.
 The unhesitating courage of the boys was the cause of much com mendation by the older persons who witnessed the act and it was con- sidered very likely that both will be recommended for the medals given through an endowment made by the late steel king.

 NOT ACCEPTABLE
U. s. Not Considering Accept ing Them as Substitute for
 Allied Obligations
By Associated Press

Washington, June 29.-Acceptance of German bonds as substitutes for the obligations of European nations debtor to the United States is not at present contemplated by the treasury department, Secretary Mellon today told the Senate finance committee, in urging favorable action on the administration bill to enable the re- funding of the s11,ooo, O0o, 900 which Europe owes the United States.
 MT Mellon informed the committee that the treasury department more over had no intention of inviting sug- gestions involving acceptance Of German bonds but added that sound business Judgment might make ad. visable the substitution of German bonds if offered by some of the weaker debtor nations.
 Broad powers which would be con. ferred by the administration bill on the treasury department in the re- funding process were said by Mir Mel Ion to be necessary for, he added, it Is essential to have the new securi- ties in the most substantial form so that they may be available to this government for future use.'
 Secretary Mellon and Assistant Secretary Wadsworth, who accom- panied him, went over the entire field involved in allied loans. and pre- sented to the committee the follow- ing facts:
 Unpaid interest on Americas loans to Europe now amounts to ap- proximately s1.000,000,0 900; none of the debtor nations with the exception of Great Britain has suggested negotiations looking to refunding of the, loans, some of the smaller debt or nations are unable at present even to pay the interest on their loans and President Harding favors to some extent the proposal that accumulated interest be added to the principle of the loans and higher interest rate than five per cent bs proyidcd,r
 Secretary Mellon after his appear ance before the committee conferred with Chairman Penrose. and was understood to have told Senator Pen rose that the administration. was con vinced. that it would be financially and economically disastrous" both to the United States and the debtor na- tlons for the former to insist on any immediate payment of the loans be- cause of the effect on trade and foreeign exhange.

DISABLED SOLDIERS. DEFY SOCIALISTS
Radicals Invited to Step Out side If They Want to
 Fight for Beliefs
By Associated Pres,

DetroIt, June 29.-Fifty delegates to the convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war invaded the socialist national con- vention shortly after noon today anc warned the socialists that the vet erans are ready "to fight again to defend the flag against sedition, dis loyalty and treason"
 Ralph Horr of Seattle, who led the invading veterans, told the socialists that advocates of force would be met with force and invited the radicals to "step outside if they wanted to fight for their beliefs''
 Horr quoted from printed reports of the remarks of J. Louis Engdah,. to the general effect that his sec. tion of the party would fight mot as 100 per cent Americans but under the red flag of international so- cialism."
 T hope these reports do not rep- resent the sentiment of your con vention," Horr said, but if they do represent the ideas of any among you, we have come to tell you here. that it is our intention to deal with these people. We have had occa sion m Seattle to use machine guns to stamp out disloyalty, sedition and treason and those guns can be used again."
 Cameron King. socialist delegate from California, replied in behalf of the socialists.
 We appreciate the sacrifices the disabled veterans of the World war have nlade.' he said. We under stand the impulses that drove you to that sacrifice. At the same time we have made sacrifices. We did not believe when war was declared that 1t was just war and because we so believed many of our comrades have been imprisoned. As American citizens we claim the right of free speech and free assembly and We are going to stand on those rights
 The visit of the veterans was mace without disorder. After the tall. s were made the former soldiers with drew.

Nevada, at Sea. tleship Iowa, representing an enemy fleet attacking the Atlantic coast was located in a few minutes less than two hours by army dirigibles today when about 50 miles off shore and 90 miles north and east of Cape Henry. More than score of bomb ing planes manned by naval and marine corps personnel, rushed to the scene in response to radio messages from the blimps that the "enemy had been located and hurled sG dummy bombs of various sizes at the Iowa, registering two hits in the forecastle.
 The ease with which the air forces located the Iowa, knowing only thai the vessel was somewhere between Cape Hatteras and Cape Henlopen, a distance of 215 miles. was q source of surprise to most of the naval or. ficers who witnessed the bombing and of qualification to the army men
 Weather Conditions Ideal
 Weather conditions were ideal for
  day because of fog. At a. m. the zero hour" the Iowa was about midway between Capes Hatteras and Henlopen, and 50 miles off shore, steaming directly toward the coast
 Accompanying the Iowa were the Ohio, the control ship, the bath- -- ships Pennsylvania and Nevada, tre transport Henderson and a~number of destroyers and mine sweepers' giving a more distinct impression or a battle fleet as the vessels steamed toward shore.
 It was 9:57 when the observers on the Nevada sighted the first army blimp, the D-2, coming up from the Virginia capes, and 13 minutes later the army dirigible D-4 came into view. The blimps sent radio mes sage. to the air force commander on the U. s. S. Shawnut off Cape Charles, to Langley Field. A few minutes after the dirigibles located the Iowa two F-5-L planes, scouting down from the Delaware capes, sighted the target and wirelessed the vessels position. ,
 The first bombing planes, divisi- sion of F-5-L's. arrive on the scene at 11:25, and dropped two concrete bombs at the Iowa, one landing WILL in 200 feet of the vessels bows, ana the other about an equal distance to one side The planes circled rouno and round the vessel. droppins bombs on each trip. and were shortly joined by other divisions until more than 20 planes had attacked,
