THE HAGUE. June 1s. - That
France enters The Hague confer
ence in an attitude of aloofness
was manifested when an attempt
was made today to organize the
general committee that will nego-
tiate with the Russians.
The question arose as to what
powers desired to participate in
the work of the general commit
tee. Frances delegate, NJ. Benoist,
who is also minister to the Meth
erfands. indicated that his govern
ment is still undecided regarding
the matter OF negotiating with the
Soviets, and announced that he
would reserve a decision as to join
ing the general committee until he
could communicate with the French
foreign office.
Adjeurn Until Monday.
As It was not likely that he would
'ifeceivc instructions before the
to be held in England over the
week-end the meeting adjourned
until Monday afternoon.

gates placed themselves in accord
with NJ. Benoist on these points.
Reporters Again Protest.
After thinking over the question
OF giving the press a better oppor-
tunity to report the proceedings OF
the conference. Chairman Van Kar-
nebeek finally decided the CORE
spondents might have a room in
the basement of the Carnegie Peace
Palace. where the delegates arc
meeting. But he posted guards al
the foot of the stairway to prevent
the reporters going up where the
delegates were milling around In
tn corridors.
This Arrangement was not salts

cause II gave them no more oppor-

nations invited to the conference
Thirteen powers will be represent

PRESSURE PLACED
ON BONUS BACKERS
TO SLOW UP PACE
McCumber No Longer In
sists 1t Must Come Up
Next Week.

Compromises have been set be-
fore the bipartisan group in the
Senate which refuses to accept the
request of President Harding that
tracked until after the tariff is
passed
Through these compromises the
administration leaders hope to
quell the disturbance which has
arisen over the Presidential attempt
to speed the tariff and delay the
bonus
Regardless of how successful
these compromises may prove when
the Republican caucus is held Mon
day. there will be determined
opposition to shelving the bonus.
Senator McCumber. chairman of
the Finance Committee, is known
to have receded from his position
that the bonus must come before
the Senate next week. 1t is said
he was prevailed upon by certain
American Legion representative. to
submit TO temporary delay.
This may avoid split of the Re-
publican side. but it does not dis
perse the group insistent on speedy
action on the bonus.
1t strengthens the administration
group to such an extent, however,
that some believe il certain the
bonus will be postponed indefi-
nitely. The issue will be threshed

GERMANY PROPOSES
NEW COMMISSION
Germany Suggests to united States
and Allies New Plan for
Settling Preparations.
(By A. L. BRADFORD)
United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright 1922 by the U. P.

Washington. D, Germany has
proposed to the United States and the
Allies the appointment of an expert
commission to fix a just reparations
figure within her capacity to pay, the
United Press learned today.
France, through Premire Poincare.
has just summarily rejected the Ger
man proposal, according to informa-
ton reaching highly authoritative
quarters here direct from Paris.
These important international devel-
opment are clearly indicative of the
difficult task confronting this govern
1nent in its efforts to find a practical
way to solve the critical European
situation and in some measure explain
why the United States is guarding it's
moves with secrecy and acting with
extreme caution.

''ACTUAL FREEDOM

Lausanne - Ambassador Child last
night, had long conversation with
Ismet Pasha about the straits prob
lem, wsich Lord Curzon yesterday de.
clared must be disposed of immedi-
ateIy by the Lausanne conference.
It has become known that the Amer
lean delegates at the conference be-
lieve that an international control
commission associated with the league
of nations as suggested in the Allied
plan for supervision of the Dard-
anelles, is unnecessary. In other words,
the Americans believe that freedom Of
the straits should be an actual free
dom guaranteed by a treaty between
Turkey and the other powers, and that
it should not be a freedom limited by
an international commission.
The American observers have so
far on the conference floor limited
themselves to statements of the most
general terms on the Dardanelles ques-
ton, without suggesting as to how the
straits should be kept open to the
commerce of the world and to the
fleets Of the powers.

There is master mind behind this
dope plot and an organizer ring is dis
tributing the stuff" said Cakes. "This
vast quantity of narcotics is not flow
ing in haphazard. The CHIEF concern
is to arrest the brains of the organiza-
ton. There are 800 peddlers known to
the police. They will be arrested if
possible. Otherwise they will be driven
out of town as Migrants"
Chief Cakes expressed the belief that
incidentally this campaign might reveal
information concerning the death of

Assurance that the dispute over the
question of who was elected to the of
fee of district attorney of Kenosha

cause of her illness, the case of Miss

murder in connection with the death Of
Mrs. Theresa Schneider, who died
shortly after eating candy alleged to
have been sen Their through the mails
by Miss Lenz, was postponed until Jan
uary 18th and made issuance of new
warrants necessary.
Justice John Hume, who granted the

that any magistrate may adjourn the
examination or trial for not more than
ten days without the consent of the
defendant. Neither Miss LEM or her
counsel ID in court. Her atto~-
ney refused to- appear as her counsel
until permitted to interview his client.
