LONDON. January 1.-THE an
nouncement of the decision to with.
draw the American Rhine troops
necessarily arrests attention in Lon
don, but does not cause the surprise
1t might have occasioned If the Amer

had not been known. Moreover, the
possibility of withdrawal had been
for some time considered. while the
United States Senate's recent resolu-
ton prepared public opinion to ex-
pect 1t.
Consequently. the American, action
is treated as an incident, although
in nowise an unimportant one. in the
existing crisis, rather than as an
isolated event, and the press COM
ments accord with that aspect.
The American withdrawal is every
where regarded in the first place as
emphasizing American diSapproval of
French policy. It's probable effect on
the situation is not discussed up to
the present, except as it may influence
similar action by the British.
Opinion is strongly divided on this

The impression is that the American
government sooner or later will maks
some move in Europe to relieve the
economic situation growing out of the
unsolved problem Of reparations.
The withdrawal of the American
forces Is regarded as an act of pru-
dence, pending the outcome of the
French measures in Germany.

Presidential Candidates Con- slider Its Importance In Choice Of Candidate
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Geased Wire to The Age-Herald.)


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-In their preparations for the Cleveland con vention, the rival forces of Coolidge and Hiram Johnson are taking into consideration the importance of the party platform in influencing the choice of candidate.
 The usual method of procedure at republican conventions Is to adopt a platform and then choose a candi- date. Therefore, the candidate who succeeds in mailing his heaviest blanks on the party platform na- turally has that advantage when the delegates begin balloting on the nominee.
 This will be particularly true in the Cleveland convention next June. Coolidge and Johnson have taken opposite sides on the bonus and world court issues. It would be em barra ssing for Coolidge to wage q campaign for reelection on a plat form which declared for the soldier bonus and against the world court. Likewise, Johnson would be placed iii a ridiculous light standing for election on an anti-bonus and pro- court platform.
 First Real Test.
 Therefore, the first real test of the relative strength of Coolidge and Johnson in the convention will come over selection of the platform com mittee. This committee slate will be worked out before the convention meets Leaders of the two factions will begin working on it after the holidays. Administration friends are in the majority on the national com mittee and, of course, they will at tempt to pack the platform commit tee in favor of the President and against Johnson.

Big Scandal Promised

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2z.-(By As- sociated Press.)-A bootleg liquor scandal that threatens to touch the most exclusive and highly connect ed circles in the national capital was promised today by officials of the District of Columbia.
 Apparently convinced that the time has come to apply desperate remedies to the situation which has developed on the doorstep of the federal government. the district at- torney's office announced it would ask grand jury to take action against purchasers as well as dis pensers of intoXicants.
 The basis for the request will be an imposing list of customers which was seized yesterday when the po- lice rounded up the principals in what they believe to be a bootleg syndicate organized to supply the most discriminating drinkers in Washington. No names have been made public, but police officials say the list includes many of those who might ordinarily depend on their wealth or their positions to give them immunity
 Grand Jury To Get List.
 All of these names, it was as- serted by Assistant District Attor- ney Presmont, will go before the grand jury, if confessions said to have been made by those already under arrest are not overthrown. He

MELLON TAX PLAN UP TO DEMOCRATS
Eiuht Of Their Votes Are NeC- essary Before It Can Pass

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The Mellon tax reduction plan cannot pass the Senate without the aid of at least eight democratic votes, 1t was de . clared in letter from Senator Reed Shoot of Utah, chairman of the Sem ate finance committee, made public today by w. w. Nichols, president of the American Manufacturers Export association.
 q approve in large part the Mellon plan and will gladly support tax re- auctions if we can pass it through the Senate" he stated. The repub- licans do not control the Senate There are about ten so-called repub. licans who will not only oppose the Mellon plan, but will support rad cal amendments 10 the present revenue law, which, if adopted, would result in business stagnatton.
 If we can get about eight con servative democrats to vote for a sensible revision and against all rad ical amendments to the revenue law. I think we can secure favorable ac- tion."

 Excitement in Mobile based on the fact that federal and county officials are charging each other with having conspired to violate the prohibition law, is only a counterpart of that existing here today
 The state department has been re- quired to call off local officials in their procedure against foreign em- bassies, and on the list of customers of the most gigantic bootlegging in stitution in Washington have been found names of two cabinet officers, many outstanding members of the Judiciary, and mum bera ble members of the House and Senate of Congress-
 It is alleged that under-secretaries of at least one of the foreign em- bassies has taken advantage of the immunity granted to embassies and formed combination with so-called fashionable bootleggers. The profit has been so great that the under-secre- taries in question and the bootlegger have inordinately profited. Today local police officers surrounded a cache of liquor valued at $36,000. It was proved that it belonged to an embassy and the agent of the emba V claimed immunity. The state depart ment ordered the officers to remain hands-off.
 The sensation was accentuate,i when fashionable bootleggers were taken in the act and their list Of customers confiscated. On the list were cabinet officers, distinguished members of the Judiciary, represen- tatives and senators, and the mos prominent business men and fashion able women in Washington. The names have not as yet been made public.

Merry Christmas From White House To Greet Tiny
 Group In Frigid North

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 22.- President Coolidge is sending Christ mas greeting to the North Pole.
 Winged north by amateur radio at a speed of thousands of miles per second, Merry Christmas" from the White Hot SC will greet tiny group of explorers in their ice-bound cabin on the top of the world, only Il degrees from the pole.
 A short time after he had written a Christmas greeting to the children of the United States, President Cool idge wrote Christmas message for Captain Donald B. MacMillan, who of all men, is nearest the home Of Santa Claus and possibly the first to win the confidence of the old saint
 Amateur radio men connected with the American Radio Relay league, the radio telegraphers organization that has maintained communication with the MacMillan expedition, will start the Coolidge message on it's 1 ,O00- mile journey from this city to- night.
 The text of the greeting, contain ing 43 words of cheer from President Coolidge to Captain MacMillan and his crew in the lonely arctic solitude. will be sent from Hartford to RetuSe Harbor, North Greenland. entirely by means of amateur transmitting sta tions.
 The presidential Merry Christ mas" was filed with the Radio Cor poration of America, reaching thelr New York office this morning.
 The message will be forwarded by an amateur radio route which will take it to the Dakotas and diagon- ally across Canada to North Green land.
 The complete text cannot be made public owing to the regulation which provides that radio messages must be held in strict confidence.
 Captain MacMillan's schooner, the Bowdoin, being equipped with an amateur transmitting station, he IS able to communicate only with anna teur stations in the United states and Canada. 1t was for this reason that Radio corporation appealed to the leael e, asking that the amateur organization forwrd the messSe.

 From New York it was reported that search was being made for Doris Keane, an actress. in the be- lief that she may know something about Koretz. Koretz and she were said to have gone to school together and it was reported that she had talked to him a short time before his isappearance.
 Federal and state authorities who have been hunting Koretz declared that there had never been any actual trace of the fugitive since he pur- chased a ticket in the Pennsylvania station in New York. He is believed to have torn this ticket up, they said,

can hope to have a fighting chance against the Coolidge domination of the Cleveland convention will be by forcing an anti-world court declara ton, and pro-bonus plank. If John son is defeated in the platform com mittee, he and his friends undoubt- edly will carry the fight to the con- vention floor. Johnson probably will be at the convention In person and might make a dramatic appearance on the floor of the convention to champion his policies. taking d chance on being able to arouse the delegates and the galleries by his furious type of oratory and stam- pede the convention into voting against the Coolidge policies. That would be his only hope of holding back the steam roller of the admin istration.
 There are certain conditions, mo- tably in the United States Senate, which favors Johnson in this re- spect. Congress-with plenty of re- publican votes-is almost certain to pass soldier bonus bill over Cool idge's veto. The Senate foreign re- lations mmittee-including Chair man Henry Cabot Lodge-is opposed to the world court project which Coolidge has recommended.

 Will Have Bonus Support.
 So Johnson will have the support a Cleveland of the senators and representatives who voted for the bonus and who want to campaign for reelection on that basis. They will do anything they can to avoid having to run for reelection on an anti-bonus platform.
 Johnson also will have the support of the anti-world court senator's including many of the most power ful individuals in the republican party, the ring which nominated Warren Harding in 1920. and which practically dominates the republican conventions. They are with Johnson and against Coolidge on this issue, although few of them are for John sons candidacy, they will help him in fighting the court.
