U. S. PROMOTES RULES PACT
Washington Is Expected to Propose
Convention to Nations.

Washington-Receipt by the State
department of a report by the COM
mission of juristn which met at The
Hague last December was followed by
an announcement by Secretary
Hughes that the Washington govern
ment might initiate action looking to-
ward a treaty or a convention between
various nations based on the report
as it affects rules Of international
law applying to radio and aircraft.
At the prcesnt time the report is
being studied by State department Of
fcials as a necessary step before it
can be put forward as the basis for
a formal convention. Inasmuch as
the commission was created by the
Washington ornaments conference
called by this government it was said
to be naturally assumed that the Uni
ted States would take the initiative in
proposing a convention. The report
was forwarded by John Bassett Moore
who represented this government on
the commission of jurists.

solitude in fishing He was accom-
panied only by General Charles G.
Dawes, one of his closest personal
friends and principal political ad-

If Mr.. Harding had any comment
to make upon the statement of At

would accept a denomination from
the next republican national conven-

Lake Worthy inlet, for all efforts to
obtain a public expression from him
went for naught.
There is reason to believe. how

would be candidate to succeed him

GERMANY MOVES
FOR RUHR PEACE
Germany's Presentation of Her

CrumbIny of Resistance.

Paris-Germany has made several
moves for peace in the Ruhr.
Peace feelers went back and forth
between Germany and France in much
the same manner as they preceded
the end of the war.

all of which are unofficial and secret
the situation with regard to the
evacuation of the Ruhr and settle
ment of German reparations was as
follows
l. Germany wants the French ex-
perts and Officials who are superin

resumption of regular payments, pro-
vided an international loan is fioated
to finance them. /.
2. Francois a first condition be-
fore there are any negotiations what
ever-insists that the Germans cease
their policy of resistance and revoke
orders for reparations which have
been issued.
News from Washington that Ger
many had laid her case before the Uni
ted States government was regarded
as demonstrating that Berlin's re-
sistance is starting to crumble. The
move is viewed with suspicion; as
probable attempt to provoke outside
interference.
Three times during the last week,
it was learned, Germany made similar
attempts to sound out France through
neutrals.l
