clared that America fought to preserve
the rights OF the Republic and to main
tain the civilization in which we had
such part In making and in that SER
vice we have rendered tribute not only
TO that cause but also to the highest
ideals of humanity
In reference to the concord between
the North and South which the world
war helped to achieve, the President
asserted there was no longer any sug-
gestion Of conflict. since I'VE unsheathed
the sword in behalf of suffering hui

and sublime effort to save the civiliza-
ton OF the world"
In that effort I'VE have found the soul

Capt. William Ocker in another S E-o,

knew what was happening we were
caught in the midst Of it, a terrific
wind with hail or rain and plenty oi
lightning and thunder. AS we crossed
the Potomac the wind was coming out
Of the north in great gusts. causing
my ship to twist and dip badly. Capt
Ocker was behind me, but we could
scarcely see a ships length ahead oi
us. 1t was like driving into a SOLE

"It was apparent that we had ou

The last alternative was to turn and
run away from the storm and try tc
go around it or between two storm,
areas. That l decided to do.
"In the meantime my ship was beina
thrown into a succession OF spinning
dives, some Of them 300 feet long. and
IL was during one of these that the
problem OF turning away from the

was hardly making headway against

ALBANY, N. T., June 17.-Gov. Mil

pital on Wards Island.
The governor said that he did not
propose to have the states survey
board investigate the charges of
profiteering by the state made BY
William F. Deegan of the American

clared the state receives So a day

The state would make money and

PRESIDENT SILENT
ON THE HOLT LETTER
Not Disposed Now to Reveal
Substitute for League
of Nations.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Hamilton Hollis letter calling on
President Harding to disclose his
plans for an association of nations to
replace the league has failed to draw
any reply from the administration
and indications are that none will be
made. at least for the present.
Mr.. Holt headed the pro-league re-
publicanS during the campaign. 1t
was said at the White House today
that his open letter made public in
New York yesterday had not yet been
received. Further than that officials re-
fused to comment.
The impression was permitted to go
out, however, that if President Hard
ing replies to the letter he will not
enter into any detailed discussion.
and that so far as the administra-
tion is concerned the association plan
must remain for the present in an
indefinite status, as the administra-
ticn prefers first a definite settlement
of peace and d restoration of stable
conditions in Europe.
Plans Under Consideration.
Some persons in the confidence of
the administration said today that
progress of a preliminary character
on plans for the proposed association
had been made and that at least one
draft of a plan had been made by. an
eminent authority on international
law at the request of President Hard
ing. The President, these people say,
has not approached the point of Eivz
ing approval to anything final. and
the indications are against any in
ternational negotiations on the sub
ject in the immediate future.
One draft of an association plan
prepared at the Presidents request is
understood to be constructed about
the principle of n world court and
an international conference for the
discussion of questions likely to lead
to war. This was the principle ad-
vocated by Mr.. Harding during his
campaign. There are no outward in
dications that he has changed his
position.
Decline to Reveal Specific Steps.
Both White House and State De-
partment officials continue to decline
to reveal what specific steps the
President has in mind to carry out
such a policy. Although the Presi-
dents first address to Congress was
interpreted by some as favoring rati-
flcation of the Versailles treaty with
broad reservations. there is as yet
no indication that he is preparing to
submit the treaty to the Senate.
On the contrary. the indications
are that Mr.. Harding is developing
his international policy step by step
and does not care. for the present. to
commit himself beyond the first phase
of the process, which the adminiS-
tration finds is the passage Of peace
resolution by Congress.

SENATORS FINISH QUIZ
OF RAILROAD MANAGERS
Wabash Director Explains Reasons
for 1920 Losses and Extra
Expenses

Examination of railroad managers
by the Senate interstate commerce
committee. which is inquiring into the
general railroad situation. was con-
cluded today, and railroad security
holders will be heard next week. 1t
was announced that the spokesmen
for the employees would be heard
after the security holders.
W. H. Williams. chairman OF the
board of the Wabash railroad. was
the last witness for the managers. He
dealt largely with undermaintenance
of his road, which he said character
lied it's operation under goverpment
control, and which he held in de-
gree accountable for losses in 1920
operation. There should have been
1.052.043 ties replaced on the Wabash
during the control period. he said. but
only S61.794 weret placed. leaving a
deficit of 412.SS0 which had to be made
up by the management, after return
to private operation. There was like
new rails. and somewhat proportion
ate deterioration of rolling stock. All
this. he asserted, required extra ex-
penditure.
Mr.. Williams cited orders issued dur
ing the period of federal control. which
the railroad administration to limit ex-
penditures on maintenance.
One popularity in 1921 traffic de
crease he noted in the fact that east
bound freight movement did not drop
materially on the Wabash. though
westbound freight did. Citing statis-
tics of price drop in nearly all COM
modes. which he said decreased traf-
fic demand. he also produced records
to show that the number of public
garages built in Chicago during 1920
exceeded the number in previous years,
which indicated, he said. that higher
freight rates were not responsible for
the building slump.
