GERMANY n ANS TO
DENY WAR GUILT IN REPLY
Berlin Delegates Expected to Respond
to UItimatum Answering Recent
Statements of Lloyd George.

Misunderstanding advices from Ber'
lin as to whether new proposals are to
be submitted to the allies, DR.. SimonS
the German foreign secretary, and the
German experts are preparing a reply
to some of the arguments used by Pre-
mier Lloyd George in delivering the
allied ultinatum. d
The Germans strongly object to the
allies verdict that they were entirely
responsible for the war and the pre-
mier's argument that if they taxed
themselves as France and England had
done, they would be able to pay What
is demanded. They claim that internal
taxes, such as those on sugar, tobacco
and spirits, have not been taken int
account, and they are prepared to pro
duce figures showing the allies have
moderated their impOsitions.

SALIENT POINTS IN
THE INAUGURAL

The recorded progress of our
republic, materially and spirit
ually, in itself proves the wis
dom of the inherited policy on
reimbursement in old world
affairs 80. We do not mean
to be entangled. We will accept
NO responsibility except as our
own conscience and Judgment,
in each instance, may deter
mine.
We want to do our part in
making offensive warfare so
hateful that governments and
peoples who resort to il must
prove the righteousness of their
cause or stand as outlaws be-
fore the bar of civilization.
We are ready to associate
ourselves with the nations of
the world, great and small, for
conference, for counsel.
If war is again forced upon
us, ! earnestly hope a way may
be found which will unity our
individual and collective
strength and eonsecrate all
America, materially and spirit
ually, body and soul, to nation
al defense.
We can reduce the abnormal
expenditures, and we will. We
can strike at war taxation, and
we must.

Washington. March 4.-President
Harding's inaugural address was as
follows:
Ny cOuntrymen-When one surveys
the world about him after the great
storm, noting the marks of destruction
and yet rejoicing in the ruggedness of
the things which withstood 1t, If he is
an American he breathes the clarified
atmosphere with a strange mingling
of regret and new hope. We have seen
a world passion spend its fury, but we
contemplate our republic mistaken,
and hold our civilization secure. Liber-
ty-liberty within the law-and civ
ilization are inseperable, and though
both We're threatened, we find them
now secure, and there comes to Amer
leans the profound assurance that our
representative government is the high
est. expression and surest guaranty of
both.
Standing in this presence, mindful
of the solemnity of this occasion, feel
ing the emotions which no one may
know until he senses the great weight
of responsibility for himself, l must
utter my belief in the divine inspira-
ton of the founding fathers. Surely
there must have been Gods intent in
the making Of this new world republic.
Ours is an organic law which had but
one ambiguity and we saw that effaced
in a baptism of sacrifice and blood
with union maintained, the nation SUI
preme and its concord inspiring. We
have seen the world rivet its hopeful
gaze on the great truths on which the
founders wrought. We have seen civil
human and religious liberty verified
and gIorified. In the beginning. the
world scoffed at our experiment
today our foundations of politica
and social belief stand mistaken,
precious inheritance to ourselves, al
inspiring example Of freedom and civ
iIization TO an mankind. Let US ex
.nress renewed and strengthened de
votion. in grateful reverence for tn
immortal beginning, and utter our con
fidence In the supreme fulfillment.

himself around the diamond for
a score. Miller, of Salem, was
responsible for the feature play
of the day when he stepped up in
the sixth and crashed a home run
which brought in two men.
Miller, who pitched for the
locals, played an excellent game
in every department, and his CO.
worker, Frisco" Edwards, per
formed remarkably well behind
the bat. Ross pitched and Snyder
caught for Regina.

the teams of the two ass relations.

Mr.. Selden added that unless
more detailed information could be
secured, all attempts at prosecu-
tion of Rosenbluth and Pothier
would have to be dropped. Fed
eral informations filed by United
States District Attorney Robert G..
Saunders recently, charged Rosen-
bluth and Pothier with murder in
connection with Major Cronkhite's
death. Mr.. Saunders has held,
however, that the federal govern
ment is without jurisdiction in the
case as the alleged Staying took
place on the Camp Lewis military
reservation before it had actually
become government property.
Major Cronkhite was killed at
Camp Lewis while at target prac-
tice, according to newspaper re-
ports at the time. An army in
board returned a ver-
dict of accidental death from his
own weapon. The case was re-
opened last month when Pothier,
former sergeant, was arrested in
Providence, r. l. In five purport-
ed confessions, Pothier was alleged
to have declared he shot Major
Cronkhite at the direction OF
Rosenbluth, former captain.
Rosenbluth was later arrested in

Insisting that the order of
February 28, granting to the Pa

pany of this state a material in
