PRESIDENT GLAD
TOHEAROFHUCHES
FIGHT FOR TREATY
Houseboat Party Stops
At Little Hamlet on
Indian River.

RoCKLEDGE. Fla, March 12.-
tion taken by Secretary Hughes in
Washington in support of the four
power Pacific treaty.
Cruising up to this little hamlet
along the Indian River this after
noon. Mr.. Harding established his
first contact with the outside world
since leaving New Smyrna Satur-
day. And his first observation had
to do with the treaty developments
in Washington.
That's fine" he declared when
told of Secretary Hughes entering
the night on behalf of the pact. Tn
very glad he did IT."
Mr.. Harding regards the Pacific
pact as the foundation stone of the
whole group of arms conference
treaties. On its formulation all the
other conference work was based,
and upon its ratification now de-
pends whether ratification of TIE
other treaties can go forward.
Greeted at Pier.
When the Presidential househoat
party drew up to the pier here a
crowd of some hundred townspeo-
ments went down to the pier to
greet him. with them were Mr..
and Mrs. Charles G. King. the
rrother and sister-in-law of Mrs.
Harding. The Kings had hoped to
persuade their distinguished rela-
tives to leave the boatfOr a time,
but plans would not permit After
a few minutes of conversation and
handshaking the President and
Mrs. Harding waved farewell to the
group and the houseboat pulled out
into the stream again, and once
more the nations Executive was
cut off from all contact with the
world. A handful of newspapers
all of them two or three days old
4 few kilograms, and what bits of
general news correspondents had
been able to pick up along their
route in following the party by
land. constituted his latest and only
touch with business.
Urged to Address Legion.
The whole party looked bene-
fitted by the vacation. All of them.
including Mrs. Harding. have ac-
cumulated a ruddy glow from sun
and air.
Only one stop was made by the
houseboat en- route to this point.
Because Of shallow waters IL was
found necessary to anchor during
Saturday night north of Titusville
and wait until daylight made prog
ress safer down this tricky river.
The boat is able to average only
about eight knots an hour. which,
barring accidents or another change
In schedule. will permit it to drop
anchor either off Vero or Fort
Pierce tomorrow morning, so that
the President may have a golf game
at one of these places.
The President is now nearing po-
litical dynamite in the form of :he
American Legion meeting at West
Palm Beach. While he has declined
an invitation to address the con-,
vention, members of the party are
exerting all their persuasive pow
ers to have him stop at Palm Beach
and also Miami. II he yields he
probably will have to take a train
back to Washington. as he could
not follow this schedule and make
the trip back by boat within the
limit he has placed on his rest.

ALLIESTOOPPOSE
. AMERICAN CLAIM
TO GERMAN GOLD
Indicate U. S. Must Deal
Directly With Her
Former Foe.

LONDON, March l2.-The entire
question of Americas financial
rights under the Versailles treaty
and subsequent agreements which
have grown out of this treaty, may
be opened and made the subject OF
diplomatic controversy between
America and the allies, following
refusal of the American demand for
reimbursement for the cost Of main.
tanning the army Of occupation.
British authorities believe tina;
since the allied delegates neither
admitted nor discussed the claim
but merely submitted il for the con.
sideration of the respective govern.
ments, either one of two course.
may now be followed.
First. the allied governments may
act individually and open direct ne.
gotiations with the United States
or. second. and this course is con.
sidered the most likely. the allied
governments may first agree among
themselves as to the American de.
mand for reimbursement and ther
communicate their decision e
Washington.
May Outline Views.
In either event, it is indicated
the subject will be lifted above the
ordinary routine of reparations al
lotments and will become a topic
of primary consideration by the va.
rious chancellories 1t is considered
that disposal of the question might
involve the necessity of an Official
Interpretation Of the Versailles
treaty. similar TO that which result
ed from the action of Secretary OF
Site Hughes in raising the ques-
tion of mandate rights.
Settlement cf the issue will un.
doubtedly involve conditions and
circumstances resulting from Amer
teas failure to ratify the. Versailles
treaty. The allies may contend. for
instance. that inasmuch as the
United States failed to ratify the
Versailles pact but signed A sep
arate peace with the enemy. then
America may deal direct with Ger
many 1t is also pointed out that
none of the many SUBSEQUENT con.
ditions. such as the Spa and London
agreements. was signed by the
United States.

Meanwhile Americas claim for
s241.O00.O00. coupled with resent
ment felt in some quarters at what
is termed the bluntness of the Ge-
noa rejection. has revived the Eu-
ropean picture of America, as mer-
cenary. grasping, hording the

that afternoon, proceeded to outline
the case to the jury.
Antony did not expect to learn
much from the evidence-he knew
the facts of the case so well by now
but he wondered if Inspector Birch
had developed any new theories. If
so, they would appear in the
coroner's examination, for the coro-
ner would certainly have been
coached by the police as to the i'm
portant facts to be extracted from
each witness. Bill was the first to
be put through it,

All that Amos had to say was
that a stranger had passed by his
