ENGLAND TURNS
DOWN PROPOSAL
FOR II MI. ZONE
British Premier Confer
ence to Discuss Mat
ter in October
BY A. l.. BRADFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-Great
Britain has delivered to the United
States negative reply to the
American proposal for treaty ex-
tending the 12 mile limit to combat
the illicit liquor traffic, it was Of
ficially announced at the state de-
partment today. The British note
was handed to Acting Secretary of
State Phillips by Charge d'Affaires
Chiffon of the British embassy.
The note is understood to be prin-
cipally recapitulation of the British
objections to the American pro-
posal.
Tie note sets forth at length the
reasons why the British government
believes that the American note
would not be practical.
However, high state department
officials said they did not regard
the British note as a complete re-
lection of the American proposition.
The British left an opening, of
ficials here hold, by concluding the
note with the statement that the
whole question of cooperation with
the United States on prohibition
will be submitted to the imperial
conference of British premiers in
London in October, made up of the
heads of British dominions and
colonies.
Here's Hughes Proposal
The Hughes proposal was sub
mitted to Great Britain last July.
It's main features were:
I. A treaty agreement between
the two governments extending
American authority to the ~ mile
limit at sea so that this government
could more effectively combat rum
runners.
2. An agreement whereby British
ships could bring liquor under-seal
into American waters without be-
ing subject to search and seizure.
This phase of the agreement
would have overcome the British OBJ
iections to the supreme court 8 rul-
ing that foreign ships could not
bring liquor, even under seal, into
American waters.

DOORN-The ex.Kaiser has been
told that scarcely anybody in Ger
many wants the HOhenzollerns back.
Former Minister Helfferich, who
is now the leader of the conserv-
ative party in Germany, made this
clear to him when he visited Doom
castle recently.
Until then Doom castle had in
many respects resembled the castle
of the sleeping beauty. The inha-
bitants and visitors had made it the
rule in their conversation with the
ex-monarch not to touch any sub
jects which might hurt the ex-Kais-
er's feelings. Therefore Wilhelm
still believed that deep rooted in
the German nation there still was
longing for his return, although
this feeling was not reflected by the
papers. ..
This spell was broken by Helffer.
ich, who told Wilhelm that since
his second wedlOck he hardly had
any followers left in Germany and
that the nationalist movement,
which was growing stronger and
stronger in Germany, is in no ways
accompanied by a resurrection of a
monarchistic feeling in favor of the
HOhenzollerns.
Since Helfferich g visit, Wilhelm
shows signs of deep depression al
though his physical health is per-
feet.
One Prince Satisfied
However, at least one of Germa.
ny's former reigning princess is glad
to have lost his job. That is the
Kaiser's son in law, the Duke Err
nest August of Brunswick.
He really enjoys the privacy of
family life. Although the marriage
with the Kaiser's only daughter,
Victoria Louise, was in the origin
not of a love-match but a marriage
for state reasons, it has turned out
Il model wedlock. The ducal couple
has been married for more than ten
years, has five children and is still
as happy as pair Of turtle doves.

COOLIDGE MUST
JUMP CONGRESS
IN 1924 FIGHT
If He Gets By 68th
Congress, Nomination
Cinched
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, September 19.-
President Coolidge has one big
hurdle to clear to have plain sail
ing towards the Republican nomi-
nation in 1924. That hurdle is con-
gress.
If Mr.. Coolidge can "get by
with the administration s program
when the queerly assorted sixty
eighth congress meets in December,
he will have proved himself to the
satisfaction of his own party and
will have such claim on the no.
mination that it will be extremely
doubtful that any other republican
aspirant can wrest it from him.
This is the outstanding fact in
consideration of the chances of the
group of republicans. who would
like to be chosen.
The next congress can be control
led by the progressiveliberal-radical
group of which LaFollette is titular
head. Whether it will be so sway
ed depends greatly on republican
leadership. The quality of that
depends on Mr.. Coolidge. He has
indicated he does not desire to in
terfere with congress. If he wants
his administration to come through
the critical period just ahead of it,
he will have to interfere, all com,
petent observers here agree.
At present the embryo candidates.
shape up thus:
"M" Is sulking
Hiram Johnson of California.
The California Ulysses is sulking in
his tent, a little, feeling sore at
circumstances. johnson and his
henchmen are organizing California
from end to end for grand John
son "come back" designed to re-
store some recently lost prestige.
Herbert Hoover of California.
johnson says Hoover is . candidate
for the presidency. There is no
other evidence of that. Hoover is
not conducting a campaign for dele
gates unless it be in California, as
against johnson.
Clifford Pinchot Of Pennsylvania.
Pinchot is lot more likely to be
the vicepresidential nominee than
he is to head the ticket. He will
control part of the Pennsylvania
delegation and Coolidge will have
the remainder.
Lowden to Come Back
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois.
Lowden s friends say he was 'luck-
ed' out of the 1920 nomination
and that if there is an open field
he will come back strong in 1924.
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisc0n-
sin Here is the man who may un-
horse Coolidge, champion of the reg
ular wing of the party. LaFollette,
as leader of the progressive group
in congress that holds the balance
of power, as spokesman for the un-
rest in the country, has Mr. Cool
idge's fate and possibly the repub.
lican nomination in his hands.
Others mentioned as possible can
didates are Senator Borah, Govern
or General Leonard Wood Of the
Philippines and General Pershing.
None of them seems at this time
to be likely to figure.
