two American memorial meetings will
show how widespread the apprecia-

At the Philadelphia meeting Jules
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
spoke of Pasteur as the greatest of
the immortals of France" President
Harding sent this message:
The wonderful advance of medicine
and surgery are the direct results of
Pasteur's life and work. Already many
infectious diseases have been con-
quered and as result the length of
human life has increased. America
has been among the first nations to
apply Pasteur's work to practical use.
The building of the Panama canal was
made possible by knowledge of the
germs Of yellow fever"
Former President Wilson's message
said In part: II can see that II is his
(Pasteur's) immortal distinction that
he not only broadened the thought and
enlightened the practice Of the great
medical profession IL the treatment of
certain diseases. but also erected bar

The headline writer's found their ia
vorite "war cloud" hanging over that
part Of the world again. The Lausanne

a peace treaty, and the air was filled
with the determinations and defiant

national assembly at Angora. He had

The British. the Greeks and the

attention was conferred on Smyrna.
The Turkish governor there ordered all
allied warships to quit the harbor with

British and Italian governments re-
piled with an order to their vessels to
remain and defend themselves in case
of attack. The British also hurried
naval reinforcements. Preparations
were made to take the foreign colonies

were mounting slx-inch guns on the
south side of the Gulf of Smyrna,
where the shallow waters force ships
entering the harbor to hug the shore.
However, the governor postponed the

said the matter was not serious and

was not so optimistic, asserting a dec

GERMAN opposition to the French
~ in the Ruhr was considerably
strengthened by a visit which Chancel-
Tor Cuno made to Essen at the call of
the labor unions. The food situation
had grown acute and the union leaders
made 1t plain that the government con-
troll Of foodstuffs from the producers
to the workers was the only way to
save the Ruhr from a communist up
rising. Cuno consented to try the plan
and appointed Burgomaster Schmidt
Of Dusseldorf as Ruhr dictator, with
power to ration food and fix prices
Cuno and his cabinet then decided
not to break of diplomatic relations
with France entirely. It was said they
feared further French seizures, but the
French went right on with the SELLING.
Across the Rhine from Strasbourg they
occupied two junction points on the
Transalpine railway; in Hesse they
advanced to Goddelau, apparently on
their way to Frankfurt and In the
Wupper valley they seized several
towns between the English zone Of oc-
cupation and Elberfeld. which city
they surrounded with troops, prevent
Ing the export OF any coal to southern
Germany. The Germans have been no
titled that persons found damaging
railway property will be sentenced to
death, and In other respects the French
regulations are growing more and more
stringent. Still public opinion In
France is that Premier Poincare Is too
lenient to the Germans.
THE naval Limitation treaty and the
L pacts relating to submarines and
gas In warfare and to China and the
Chinese tariff, negotiated In the Wash.
ington conference, were ratified on
Wednesday by the Italian chamber of
deputies. Premier MussolIni and his
government had declared In favor of
the treaties, so the opposition was neg
ligible.
From Paris comes word that the
navy treaty will soon be presented TO
the French parliament, with recon-
mendatlon for its adoption, but with
the understanding that the limitations
on French armament shall not be &C.
cepted as establishing a principle.
DRESIDENT HARDING appeared be-
fore congress and asked that legisla-
ton be passed approving the agreement
on the funding of the British war debt.
He read the report Of the American
commission and heartily Endorsed its
statement that the agreement us a
business settlement, fully preserving
the integrity Of the obligations, and II
represents the first great step in the
readjustment Of the intergovernmenta
obligations growing out of the war"
Bills to carry out the Presidents
recommendation were introduced nj
once In both house and senate, with
good chances Of speedy approval.
Mr.. Harding took advantage of the
opportunity to urge upon congress
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-02-22

/ once again the wisdom of passing the
ship subsidy bill, placing on the legis-
lators the responsibility for continued
losses In the operation Of government
vessels In the event Of their failure to
act on the measure. In a tone of des-
peration he pleaded with congress TO
take definite action either for or
against the subsidy bill. The managers
of the fillbuster that has prevented a
vote In the senate appeared unmoved
by the Presidents words.
CENATORS WADSWORTH, Borah,
~ Ashurst. Lenroot and others strove
In vain to stave In the pork barrel" In
the army appropriation bill-the sllot-
ment of $56,0O0,OO0 for rivers and har-
bors. The budget bureau had recon-
mended the sum of $27.OOO,000 and
there were various attempts, all In
vain, to have IL cut down to this or
some other figure. Spencer. the new
senator from Missouri, was strong for
the pork" declaring that even the
$56.0O0.0O0 was inadequate.

COL. WILLIAM HASKELL, former
~ head Of the American relief work
In Russia, has added himself to the
growing number Of those who do not
believe the Turks are as bad as they
have been painted for many years.
After visiting Lausanne and CONSTANT
nople he went to Moscow. and there
told American correspondents he be-
lieyes America should feed the 100000
Turks nj Smyrna and its hinterland
whose homes were demolished wilfully
by the retreating Greeks, instead of
aiding the Greeks and Armenians. who
he says. are sitting around waiting for
America to give them their next meal
Colonel Haskell gave the lie to stories
of Turkish atrocities circulated In
American churches. On the contrary,
he believes that the Greeks acted like
barbarians.

the Turks would have the advantage I'm

On the other hand, Constantinople
would be at the mercy Of the British

the Martha river line.
II Turkey counts on the active sup
