The congressional study of De-

made by joint committee Of the
House and Senate, headed by Rep
resentative Reavis, of Nebraska and
Senator Smoot, Utah. The commit

has held several meetings, but there
was no information today as to how
long it might require to formulate
its recommendations
Secretary Hoover, in his state
ment, gave no details as to the
manner in which he believes the re-
organization should be carried out.
He did state, however, that 1--WE
must consider our transportation,
both railway and marine, as one sys-

a whole" To follow this line of
thought to its conclusion, it was said
today III some quarters, would bring

Berlin, March 12.-The federal
council today adopted the govern
ment's draft law providing for the
definite dissolution of all German
civilian guards and self defense or
ganizations, Bayaria's seven votes
were the only ones cast in opposi-
:tion to the measure. This threatens
to bring to a head the long expected

opposes the breaking up of the pow
erful system of Einwohnerwehr and
local committees formed to main
tain law and order.
The bill will now 60 to the reichs-
tag, where it is said safe majority
awaits it.
Berlin, March 13.-Dr. Walter
Simons, the foreign secretary, de-
livered a 80 minute speech in the
reichstag Saturday during which he
gave an elaborate exposition Of the
proceedings at the recent repara-
tions conference in London. The
tone of the speech was noticeable
for it's extreme moderation. The
speaker appeared to question wheth-
er the allied demands had been
rightly estimated in Germany.
"I must say" DR.. -Simons de-
clared, "that when one comes face
to face with our opponents in Lon
don, when one hears what the situa-
ton is in their countries and under
what distress and cares they them
selves are laboring, it becomes clear
that their demands are not inspired
merely because of intoxication Of
victory or lust for power but that on
the contrary they are the result of
extraordinarily heavy troubles and
distress in their own countries
While stoutly maintaining the al
legged illegality of the penalties, he
declared he was strongly opposed to
rupturing relations with the allies
because "our position in the world
is not such that it could be improved
by a breach" DR.. Simons admitted
that it was possible to get a better
world prospective from London than
from Berlin and thereby realize how
general the opinion is that Germany
is in the wrong and has not done
enough to requite that wrong.
eff we now resorted to severe
meaures," said DR.. Simons, "this
would only be regarded as confrma-
tion of that opinion and we should
lose all that good will we so sorely
need to extricate US from our great
difficulties"
DR.. Simons described the proposed
levy on German goods as gross
blunder of the allies themselves be-
cause he declared "it would drive
Germany into the hands of specula-
tors and hopelessly impede the for
midable task of restoring interna-
tional exchange which would be i'm
possible until the question OF stablll-
zing German exchange was solved.
"In my opinion" said the foreign
secretary, "the allied tactics will
soon show themselves to be what
they are-a politico-fnancial Utopia

NOMINATIONS HOLD
SENATE IN SESSION
FEW DAYS LONGER
Failure of President To Select Ship.
ping Board and Naming of Col.
George Harvey Two Bar
riers to Adjournment

washington, March lZ.-PlanS OF
Senate leaders to end the specialses-
sion today were over-thrown by a
combination of further delays at the
White House and capitol affecting
important appointments on which
the administration awaits action bez1
fore adjournment.
Failure of President Harding to
send in his nominations for the ship
ping board is understood to have
been the principal BARRIER to bring
ing the session to a close. It was in
dicated that the President was hav-
ing difficulty in inducing some of the
men he wants to accept, and both he
and the leaders in congress are
anxious to have the appointments
made and confirmed before the Sem
ate quits.
While it waited for the shipping
board nominations the Senate heard
also that Mr.. Harding might ask it to
pass Judgment before adjournment
on the nomination of Colonel
George Harvey, the New York edi-
tor, to be ambassador to Great Bri-
tain. Selection of Colonel Harvey is
understood to have been definitely
decided on and although Mr.. Hard
ing was not ready to transmit the
nomination today, the Republican
managers in the senate received ad-
vance information OF such a positive
character that they conducted poll
of the foreign relations committee
on the question of confirmation.
LaFollette Objects
Still another cause for prolonging
the special session was provided by
Senator LaFollete, Republican, Wis
consin, who objected to immediate
consideration of the nomination of
former Representative j. Esch of
that state to be member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Meantime the Senate cleared up
most of it's slate of accumulated
nominations voting confirmation of
a number sent in earlier in the week
and of several that Nr. Harding sub
mitted today. Mark Potter of New
York whose nomination to the inter-
state Commerce Commission was
sent to the Senate along with that of
Mr.. Esch, was one. of those confirm
ed.
Among the selections submitted
by the President during the day and
favorably acted on by the Senate
were William w. Husband, of Ver-
mont, to be commissioner-general of
immigration, Harry H. Billany, of
Delaware to be Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, and Carl Mapes
of Michigan, to be solicitor of the
bureau of internal revenue.
Word that the President might
ask for early action on the nomina-
ton of Colonel Harvey came as a
surprise, the general expectations
here having been that all diplo-
matte appointments would be put
over until the session that is to as
semble next month. John W. Davis,
the retiring ambassador at London,
is on his way home, however, and
it was indicated that Mr.. Harding
had about decided it would be un-
wise to leave the post vacant until
congress re-assembles.
The belief tonight was that the
Harvey nomination, along with sew
eral selections for the shipping
board, proably would be ready to

 MT. Sloane after high school, took a literary course at Grant university and studied law at the Chattanooga College of Law, but he has never practiced law. This is perhaps best accounted for by the fact that he early in life decided that he wanted te write.
 Through all his work there ruus a vein of humor-quiet, unassumug, but there--ready for one to chuckle over.
 For years he wanted to write, but soon discovered that the mere de- sire was not enough. He realized that the desire was important, but that the writer must also know con siderable of life. And then write and read, and read and write.
 He believes that writer must pos sess never-ending patience, and that he must love people and take keen and active interest in the life about him. That he must think and feel strongly. that any deviation from this rule will be noticeable in sip shod and unacceptable work.
 And that he must keep on trying and trying, with the idea of making each story a little better than the last.
