PRESIDENT MAY
OUTLINE HIS VIEWS
ON DISARMAMENT !

Washington, May 13 President
Harding's attitude toward the propo-
sal of Senator Borah, Republican, Ida
no, for a naval disarmament confer
ence between Great Britain, Japan
and the United States was brought
into question in the Senate today
during debate on the half billion dol
lar appropriation bill.
Senator Borah said the president
had not indicated any opposition dur
ing recent conference on the sub
ject, while Senator Hale, Republican,
Maine, who also discussed the Borah
amendment. with Mr. Harding a few
days ago, declared that the president
thought action by congress unneces-
sary.
Because of the presidents state
ment to him, Senator Borah said he
had paid little attention" to a pub
lished statement of Senator PoindeX-
ter, Republican. Washington, in
charge of the naval bill, that the pres
ident opposed the disarmament sug-
geStion.
Senator Hale replied that he had
accompanied Senator Poindexter to
the White House a few days ago. We
talked over the question of diSarma-
ment,' he said, ''and I gathered from
what was said there the president
thought it was not necessary for cor
gress to go ahead in this way with
the resolution"
Senator Borah replied that he
would be glad to have a statement
from Senator Poindexter who, how
ever, was not in the chamber at the
time and then he could and would
relate in detail what the president
had told him on the subject That the
matter would be aired further during
debate, possibly tomorrow, was indi-
Gated. 1t also was intimated that
President Harding might give formal
expression of his views on the sub
ject.
The appropriation bill was at Il
complete standstill all day. while
broadsiders were fired by advocates
of the Borah proposal.
Senator Borah denied that his
amendment would constitute "di-
rcction" to the president. He empha-
sized that it merely would "request"

CUMMINS HINTS
AT GOVT. CONTROL
ANALYSIS RAILROADS

Washington, May 13.--Defcfts in
present railroad operations. and the
Increase in claims against the treasury
arising from wartime government
control, threaten the permanency Of
private ownership in transportation, ="
Chairman Cummins Of the State inter-
state commerce committee said today
during croSS-examination of julius
kruttschnitt, chairman Of tho board
pf the Southern Pacific, in the general
investigation of the railroad situation.
From railroad administration ac-
counts, Senator Cummins said, he con-
cluded that the government placed the
total liability to the administration
at $1,000, 100000 while the railroa ds
themselves claimed a total of $500 =
100000. The final sum to be taken
from the government in settlement, he
added, very probably would be around
$500, 100000
Continuation of deficits from opcr-
ations, he said, would also have to
be met fromthe treasury" unless the
railroads succeeded in increasing rev.
enueS or reducing expenses.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt said the growing
claims for cash under the guaranee
arose out of under-maintance of rail
road equipment and roadbeds during
the period of government control.
one reason for delay in getting ex-
nenses down, Kruttschnitt said. was
tardincss Of the railroad labor board
IN deciding the roads application for
lower wage scales.
Railroads are losing between $500
600 and 100000 day while waiting
for the oards'b decision on wages for
common labor" he declared, 'since
that sums up the difference between
the scale the government requires
them to pay and the lower wages
which the public can secure it's labor
at"
The hearing adjourned until Mon
day with the chairman of the South
ern Pacific still under examination.

SINN FEINERS AGAIN
PARLIAMENT CHOICE
| IN SOUTH IRELAND

Dublin, May 13-(By The Associat-
ed Press)-Southern Ireland has
again registered it's complete allegi-
ance to the Dali Eireann and renew
ed its united demand for an Irish
republic in the nominations for the
Southern parliament, carried out to-
day. The parliament is virtually
constituted.
Except for four Imperialist candi-
dates who were returned unopposed
for Dublin, not a single opponent has
been nominated against the Sim
Fein candidates, who therefore will
be returned unopposed in the South
ern constituencies. These Sim Fem
ers will refuse the oath of allegiance
to. the crown and therefore, the new
parliament will never function. Thus
il will devolve upon the viceroy to
nominate an executive on the lines
of crown colony administration, un-
less the government should decide
to recognize all the members elected
in the north and south as a conStitu-
ent assembly.
More than half the members elect
ed in the south are in Jail Others
have, at some time, been in prison.
The elections were the quietest
ever known in Ireland. No polling
was necessary as, according to the
British custom, when only one candi-
cate is nominated the polling is dis
pensed with. In this way the 1928
seats in the southern parliament
were filled, as the four imperialist
nominees. who We're named for Dub
lin University also were unopposed
Two of them, Thrift and Alton,
are fellows of Trinity College, Dub
lin, while the other two are Sir
James Craig, kings professor of
medicine, school of physics of Trim
lfy College and Gerald F'itzgibbon,
eminent member of the Irish bar.
/ Those elected included Eamonn de
Valera. for Glare; Michael Collins.
cpmmander chief of the Irish Re
publican army for county Cork; Ar
hur Griffith. founder of the Sim
Rein; Alderman Cosgrove and many
other men prominently connected
with the Sim Fein movement.

ming. Mr. Wallace said in part:
Il present to the government and
people Of France in the name of the
whole American people, the monu-
ment which is to rise at the Porte
Maillot to commemorate the victory
of the Marine. Four millions of my
countrymen directly Joined in the
gift but it really is the gift of all,
because it comes from America to
France.
History recorded fifteen decisive
battles in the centuries preceding
ours. The Marne was the scene of
the sixteenth. and it is not too soon
to say it was the greatest. 1t had
two distinct phases. The first ended
September 10, 1914, and was won by
France. The second began July IS.
1918, and the final victory came to
the united arms of France, England
and the United States. Germany
was crushed on the very field which
saw the highwater mark of her in
vason. The victory was complete
and civilization was saved.
"Thc Germans fought for conquest,
casting aside mercy and Justice They
had Stee1ed their hearts and hands to
fight alone for victory. They came
on. n ravinG horde equipped through
years of preparing to make an end of
democracy in Europe as the first step
to its destruction everywhere"

ALLIES NEUTRAL IN
EVENT OF CLASH
GERMANS AND POLES

Oppeln, Silesia, May IS. (By The
Associated Press)-If the Germans
carry out their reported plans for a
counter attack against the Poles, Up
per Silesia will be thrown into a state
of civil war in which the Allied forces
here will be compelled by circum-
stances to remain neutral and let
events, which might disrupt the peace
OF Europe, take their course
This statement was made today by
General Lerond, head of the Inter
Allied Commission in Upper Silesia.
He declared the situation which
found the Entente able only to act as
mediators between the Poles and
Germans, was brought about by the
failure of Great Britain and Italy to
furnish q fair share of troops of oc-
cupation."
The Polish uprising" he added,
"rano at a time when not a single
t~itish soldier was present The
it"!.ans, however. had 5000 soldiers in
tic area. and the French $1,000.
- ropeatedly asked Great Britain
and italy for more troops and told
them we would be unable to maintain
order with Jess than $4,000 soldiers.
My pleas were disregarded. The
French were left to bear the brunt of
the battle and we could not spare suf-
ficient men TO maintain the allied
prestige
In answer to complaints which he
said We're heard in allied quarters
that the French troops were inactive.
he said: 1--WE were not here to fight
! French soldiers do not use their ri
fes against civilians. The British and
Italians here. naturally. complained
but their governments should have
given them soldiers to back them
up"

PERSKINC TO Be
ARMY'S BIG BOSS
ON JULY FIRST
Sec. Weeks Choice as
Successor of Gen.
March
Gen. Harbord, Chief of Staff
Overseas to Be Right Hand
Man of ''Black jack and
Have Broader Powers in
Time of Peace

Washington, May IS - General
Pershing will become chief of the
general staff and the actual head of
the army July /, Secretary Weeks
announced today. On that date he
will relieve Major General PeSton G.
March, the present chief of the
staff. In addition to his new duties
General Pershing will remain head
of the general headquarters or war
staff of the army, q post recently
ceated for him. He will have as
assistant chief of the general staff
his old friend and chief of staff in
France Major General James G.
Harbord, who will relieve Major
General William NJ. Wright, the
present executive assistant.
General Pershing will be relieved
of all administrative and detail dut-
les by General Harbord and will be
free to direct the larger aspects of
the military establishment, parhcu-
larly the organization and training
Of the national guard and organized
reserves.
In nnouncing his decision, Secre-
tary Weeks made it plain that Gen
eral Pershing will be the real mill
tary head of the army from every
point of view. He said that the
general of the armies would be re-
lieved of administrative work by
General Harbord and would be
charged with 1.-The organization and
training of all the elements of the
army of the United States, including
the National Guard and organized
reserves" General Harbord, Mr..
Weeks said, will have much broader
powers than those formerly eXer-
cised by the assistant chief of staff.
The plan contemplates that IN
time of active military operations,
General Pershing would automati-
cally assume active direction of
operations in the field. General Har-
bord would similarly move up to the
post of chief of staff and take over
direction of the war department
general staff.

district was shrouded tonight in

rifle flashes from the Kentucky and
West Virginia mountains, as the sec

belligerency of the mountain rifiemen

Reports received here at state po-
lice headquarters for the district told
of a general exodus of women and
children from the embattled mining
towns, the refugees going either to
the hills not infested it'll rifemen or
leaving the district altogether.
The few remaining inhabitants
huddled in lightless houses and tent
colonies hoping in the darkness to
find safetysfrom the hail of lead that
has been poured out at intervals all
day long.

made their way to this city.
Only the most meagre details Of
today'S fighting had reached Will

phone lines and from the lips of ar
rivals from the zone of firing, but
from the conflicting mass of reports
it seemed certain that yesterdays
death toll of two had been increased
during the day to at least six while
acceptance of all the reports would
place the killed at from 10 to IS. Two
men are known to have been killed at
McCarr Ky. at the eastern end of

have been killed.

at these towns and other uncon-
