Road Into League

Reaffirnns Harding's Stand

Special Dispotch to The T4bx~s

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Secretary
Hughes to-day addressed second let
ter to Hamilton Holt, president Of the
further light on the attitude of the
Harding Administration toward the
League of Nations. The Secretary de-
clares that the way of the United
States to membership in the league is
now closed and that the situation must
be dealt with in accordance with new
conditions. He sayR any agitation in
that direction would be gruitless and
only serve to renew dispute that can
do no good.
Mr.. Hughes says that the separate
Treaty with Germany was negotiated
because it became clear to the Admin
istration that the resubmission of the
Treaty of Versailles to the United
States would prolong the discussion
endlessly. He asserts that the signing
the only way out of the difficulty.
In his letter the Secretary says:
"ln your observations you seem to
imply thta ! have been invested with
some authorit yto make this govern
ment a member of the League of Ma
tions upon such reservations as | might
propose. If you have any such notion,
must ask you to disabuse your mind
of it. Entrance into the League of Ma
tions upon any conditions could be ac-
complisned only by Treaty, and treaties
cannot be made except in the constitu-
tional manner.
ut is idle to propose what 1t is
found cannot be effected. That it Is
not the way to make progress, inter
nationally or otherwise. What l said
with respect to the treaty with Ger
many is applicable.
Really | cannot see any reason why
you should address me in the manner
you have chosen, in view of the fact
that the attitude of the Administration
upon this subject was frankly and
definitely stated in President Harding s
The President then said:
In the existing League Of Nations
world governing with the superpowers
this republic will have nc part. There
can be no misinterpretation, and there
will be no betrayal of the deliberate
expression Of the American people in
the recent elections; and settled in our
decision for ourselves, it is only fair
to say to the world in general, and to
our associates in war In particular, that
the League Covenant can have no sane
tion by US.
The aim ito associate nations to
prevent war, preserve peace, and pro-
mote civilization our people most cordi-
ally applauded. We yearned for this
new instrument of justice, but we can
have no part in q committal to an
agency of force in unknown contin-
gencies; we can recognize no super
| authority"

SAW THE NEED
AND GAVE AID
ENVOY GLASSBROOK GIVES AID
TO FOOT-WEARY MOTHER
AND HER CHILDREN.

While standing on Superior street
Tuesday Envoy Glassbrook noticed
something that the busy public in
Alma did not have time TO see, a
poor mother, and two very poorly
dressed children making their way
through the city each carrying a
bundle. The sight excited his COM
passion, such We're their detected
looks and their dress.
Later in the day, while making an
auto trip to Mt. Pleasant he met
them on the road between Alma and
Shepherd. He stopped, asked them
where they were going, where they
had come from, and the mother with
had walked from Ithaca with her
tired sounding voice said that she
children and was on her way to Har-
rison, but that she did not have
money to pay her carefare home.
Glassbrook took them to Shepherd
and then on to Mt. Pleasant in his
Ford, which already was well loaded.
There he secured place for them
TO sleep in the hotel and procured
tickets for their trip on to Harrison.
Perhaps scores or possibly a hun
dred or more automobile drivers had
probably passed the poor woman and
the two tired little chilren, one of
whom had hardly got into the car
before he fell asleep, yet all had been
too busy or in too much of a hurry
to even offer the poor woman ride.
1t remained for the Salvation Army
officer, whose work is of this nature
to see the need and TO supply it. 1t
was another case where the Salvation
Army made mother and her child
rem happy.

did samples of work to be shown in

SIZE Of BUDGET
IS NOT CUT BY
THE COMMISSION
CALLS FOR $i2l,OOO AS PASSED
BY THE CITY COMMISSION
ON TUESDAY EVENING.
Some Changes We're
Made in the Funds

The annual budget Of the City Of
Alma was passed by the city COM
mission Tuesday evening calling for
$l2l 900 to be raised for the needs
Of the city during the coming year.
The estimated budget submitted by
William f. Reynolds, city manager,
called for this amount and it was
held to by the city commission
throughout its deliberations extending
over the past two weeks and through
the hearing Tuesday evening, which
was attended by just three people,
who however, were drawn TO the
commission rooms primarily through
other interests.
Some few changes were made in
the estimates in some of the funds,
however, from what Mr.. Reynolds
had anticipated might be the needs
for the coming year.
The amount of money required for
the police department was Topped
$4,000 and the sum that was sliced
off was turned to the contingent fund
from which it can be placed in any
fund which might need more money
during the year. 1t is understood
that the patrolmen on the police force
will get cut in their years wages
of $4,000 as a result. Chief Camp
bell will receive the same salary, and
this naturally will be in the nature
Of boost as a result of the cut.
In the item for the city salaries
some changes were also made. The
health officers salary was cut from
$1,000 to $1,000, saving of $500.
The city clerks salary was dropped
to $4,000 from $4,000, saving a ST.
900 in this place. The city attorney
received a cut Of 5000 and his salary
will be $1,000 next year. The
$500 saved here was also placed in
the contingent fund.
The fact that the commission stuck
so closely to the recommendation of
the city manager in the budget
speaks well for the ability that
Manager Reynolds displayed in an
ticipating the needs of the city foI
the coming year.

NEW SERVICE STATIONS
OVER UNITED STATES.

In keeping with the policy Of main
tanning Republic Motor Trucks in an
uninterrupted performance, is the
statement made today TO local Press
Representatives by Colonel Frank T..
Smith, President and General Man
ager of the Republic Truck Sales
Corporation.
"The organization of countless new
Republic Service Stations throughout
the country, is one Of the most i'm
portant steps we have taken to in
sure the continuously profitable en-
ployment of Republic Trucks in the
hands of our operators.
1--WE recognize that Service prompt
enough and adequate enough for ev-
cry users needs, is the most vital
factor in the successful operation of
truck equipment.
"We are, therefore, extending the
scope Of Republic Unequaled Service
by spotting the Country with Service
Dealers, in addition to our already
established Factory Branch Houses,
Distributors and Associate Dealers.
Our aim is TO SO thoroughly cover
the Country, that Republic Trucks in
every section can be serviced in the
shortest time and at the lowest cost
to the user.
"Monthly inspection Of Republic

Our Dealer Organization reports that
these regular inspections are proving
great savers of time and money to our
operators.
Tnspection made at specified regu-
lar intervals assures the greatest
possible efficiency in operation and
the lowest possible upkeep expense in
connection with operating motor
trucks.
Republic Owners and Dealers, who
have visited Alma, and familiarized
themselves with our Service Division,
have been liberal in praise of the sys-
TEN we employ.
1--WE devote a large building ex-
clusively to the requirements of the
Service Department, and our method
of scientific binning and triple inspec-
ton of each part before it is shipped
out, together with the perpetual in
ventory and rapid routing of orders
through the shop, and inventory con-
troll, is being received with great
favor throughout our entire Branch
and Dealer Organization"

BrOkenshire Learns
HOlU TO Step on 'En

Judging from the following from
last weeks Greenvillc Independent
one must hand it to "Uncle Charlie"
Brokenshire of Alma College, as he
has evidently mastered the secret Of
making automobiles cavort around
much after the fashion that is ac-
corded to Ford cars:
Rev. Charles ID. Brokenshire, Of
Alma, driving Chevrolet sedan here
Sunday morning on the way to Stan
ton where he was to preach, lost con
troll of his car at the corner Of Laf-
ayette and Grove streets when an
other car attempted to turn from
East Grove to South Lafayette street
in front Of him. As a result, his car
climbed the curb in front Of Erik
Ekiksen's grocery store, not stopping
until it had come in contact with the
building, knocking out the plate
glass front and seriously damaging
the car.
Mr. Brokenshire, with four others
in his car, was starting for Stanton
when Ford came out Of east Grove
street just ahead of him. I'm at
tempting to put on the brakes, it is
thought that he accidentally stepped
on the accelerator and the car took
forward spurt, scraping the back
Tenders of the Ford. His car shot
through a narrow space between the
gasoline pump belonging to Erik
Eriksen, and Mr.. Eriksen's automo-
bile, which was parked there, jumped
the curb, which at that place is in the
nature Of steps.
The car struck the north side OF
Eriksen's grocery store, demolishng
the plate glass window. The entire
frame Of the Chevrolet was sprung,
the left front fender and wheel COM
pletely destroyed and the machine
otherwise injured 1t was taken to
the north side garage for repairs.
None of the occupants were hurt.

Young Milkndn
Cleans Up Glass

A youthful looking milkman rolled
into the city Tuesday morning with
his flivcr, the back of said fliver be-
ing piled with milk cans, milk bottles,
ets., some Of which were hurled to
the pavement as said youthful milk
man was rounding the corner from
State to Superior street.
Bottles hit here, there, and else
where, breaking and scattering glass
over a considerably area.
Mr.. Milkman said whoa to the fliv-
YER which came to a stop and he
walked back picked up two or three
bottles which remained unbroken and
returned to Lizzie.
A minute or two later James Camp
bell, chief Of police, met Mr.. Young
Milkman, where he had stopped half
a block away to deliver milk. He
kindly but firmly requested him to
return with a broom and sweep up
the glass, that was on the pavement
in the way of passing automobile
traffic.
The youthful milkman looked at
Chief Campbell, blinked his eyes, get
ting the last of the sleep from
them; made certain who confronted
him and then proceeded to get a
broom and sweep up the remains. He
loaded the broken glass into a pail
and carried it off, where it could no
longer menace the passing automo-
bile tires.
