Because the brides age IL said to
have been misstated in application

ILL.,; Dorothy Berg, $500 Kansas
avenue, and Yeryl e. Miley. Wood
stock, Va. According to Mrs.
Mileyss mother, the girl is but six
teen years old. though her age APP
pears as eighteen on the license.
Incipient romance burst into full
bloom Thursday night when, during
an auto trip through nearby Vir-
ginia, Miss Bourdene and Erxleben
decided to be married, requesting
that Miss Berg act as witness
and picking up Miley. here on a
sary second. BY the time the four
Miley announcement Of intent was
made. After some difficulty owing
to the earliness of the hour, the
four secured licenses and were
united by the Rev. p. Rowland
Wagner, pastor Of Rockville Baptist
Church. They then returned to
Washington, Mr.. and Mrs. Erxleben
to the home of the brides parents.
Erxleben met his bride while she
was singing in the Y. w. C. A.,
while Miley became acquainted with
Miss Berg when she was attending

SPEECH
Trip Prevents Discussion With
Executives on Dry Law
Enforcement.

Plans for big prohibition con-
ference at the White House be-
tween President Harding and the
governors Of the forty-eight
States have virtually been ADAM
doned for the present, it was
learned today.
Possibility Is Remote.
There is still a possibility that
way may be found to bring a num-
Der of governors to Washington
this month. but it lie q remote one.
and the President has been re-
luctantly obliged to consider its
postponement until next autumn.
The proximity Of the date for the
Presidents departure on his Alaskan
trip. ten days hence, and the fact
that in many States the legislatures
are still in session, making 1t In
convenient IL not impossible for the
executives to get away, have COM
bined to prevent q conference OF
the kind the White House had
planned.
It had been expected that Mr..
Harding would take the opportunity
afforded by this conference to ire
buke'' those States which refuse to
enact enforcement laws OF their own.
and also to make clear the Govern
ment's policy of enforcement in such
c0tnmonwealths.
VIII Answer Smith.
Az II ia. White House spokesmen
said today, it is probable the Presi-
dent will devote one speech on his
forthcoming swing across the con-
tinent entirely to the prohibition
question, and allow 1t to stand as his
reply to Governor Smith of New
York. who advanced q states
rights argument in support Of his
signing the Mullan-Gage repeal.
The President is disappointed over
the seeming impossibility of having
q round-table discussion with the
governors before his departure. He
believes that such conference
would do more to promote co-operas
ton between the Federal Govern.
ment and the various States than
any amount of legislation that
might be written on the statute
books.
Also, he does not like to let the
New York repeal 90 ''unrebuked"
ut this time, as the effect of that
drastic step at Albany already has
begun to appear in other legfsla-
lures, notably in Wisconsin and in
Illinois. There are three States
which now have no State enforce
ment laws-New York, Maryland
and Rhode Island. Should Wis
consin and Illinois be added to
these the problem Of enforcement
would become infinitely more diff
cult for the Federal Government,
- they are all so situated geo.
graphically as to become smuggling

The President is planning a sur

and chief among the "soundings''
TO be taken Is that of prohibition.

BAE The DEMAGOGUES

Chauncey Dcpew is noted for car
rying his more than four score years
enthusiastically and he expresses con-
fidence that Congress will ratify the
plan of settlement of the English
American loan. Possibly when he
he gave utterance to the expression
he had not read of the doines in the
Senate, Thursday. Surely those were
not of a nature calculated to en-
courage friends of the proposed early
settlement.
Scarcely could moro contcmptible
method of smothering the matter be
devised than that of tying it up with
ir,Dossible eXaCtions, hitChing a
bonus plan to it, filibustering and by
devious ways. which may not bear
the light, trying to kill it without
coming out squarely. Thursday's
proceedings were irritating because
they led nowhere except to the scan
dal moncer's because they fore
Swallowed some nasty work in oppo-
sition.
The arrangement is generous to
Great Britain. The difference be-
tween the rate of interest she is to
bear, 31-2, and that which our gov
eminent pays to its bond holders
for the money that was loaned, Ia
is considerable, though we are not
likely to pay that rate over so long a
period, and virtually a concession out
of our Treasury to that of England
This gives the Congressional trouble
maker a handle to a fail with which
he may take the middle of the floor
and proceed to pound vigorously. II
he may so thresh out good grain,
all right, but if done simply to call
attention to himself by making 4
noise. or by raising dust to confuse
the situation, all wrong.
This country is insisting on the full
raymcnt of the loan, which she
couldn't collect if she tried, and which
England couldn't pay in cash today
There are other loans owed to the
nited States, concerning the collec-
ton of which very grave doubts exist
Settlement with England is likely to
encourage attempt to bring those to
basis of settlement. The putting OF
this debt situation on firm basis, OF
a basis as firm as conditions permit
is a requirement that must be met
if the financial world is to get the sta
hility which is essential to our well
fare as also to that Of the others. Ii
the concession is too great, in view
Of the end sought we should deter
mine it only by the most careful and
equitable consideration. To subject
such a decision to the influences of
demegoguery is in the highest degree
reprehensibl.
