Envoy to Germany Tells
Large Audience.

There are proprleties that hedge
about a United States ambassador
that make it necessary that he be
not quoted direct. There are con-
fIicting interests to be taken into
account, particularly the sensibili-
ties Of other nations. Therefore the
following report Of the address OF
Hon. Alanson 3. Houghton, am
bassador to Berlin, given last eve
ming at Hotel FOntenelle is para
phrased.
1.-THE tragedy of the German peo-
ple." might well have been the title
of the address given last evening by
Ambassador Houghton to a group OF
guests at dinner at the Hotel Fonte
nellie. 1t was story of suffering. of
desperation. Of death, told in a word
picture the like of which has been
seldom equaled. It was the picture OF
Germany and of the German people
seen with the eyes of German men
and women, the German viewpoint,
told to America by an American who
has been through almost four years
of it.
The lines In the picture were not all
black There were lines. recently
made, through which the daylight
shines. lines that were put there by
the courage and the determination OF
President Coolidge, who faced world
opposition to bring about the determ-
ination of the reparations problems
by a committee of experts-lines that
have their expression in the Dawes
plan.
And now, that finally there has
come the dawn in Germany, the am
bassador urged that nothing be done
to plunge 1t all back again into chaos.
Only President Coolidge can see the
plan through. In his simple "unoffi
cial' way, acting through the COM
mission of experts. headed by Charles
G. Dawes, and with the moral
strength OF the United States behind
him, the president overcame the

The Budget Bureau today is con-

In the increase OF salaries effected

that the deficiencies will be negli-
gible and will raise no serious ques-
ton until the closing months of the
coming fiscal year. In other places,
however, the legal phases of the
issue have been causing a good
deal of speculation. 1t is pointed

MARR|ES IN
WISCONSIN
Gained Notoriety Here When
Girl Leaped From His
Apartment

John S. Larcombe, tr., who gained
notoriety when Elizabeth Rhodes,
twenty-three years old. jumped from

Mrs. Thomas Gallagher, wealthy
and prominent in Wisconsin social

John s. Larcombe, director Of the
Capital Traction Company and of
the Riggs National Bank.
The National CAPITAL was stirred
by the incident which resulted so
djsastrously for pretty Miss Rhodes,
who was seriously injured by her
jump. She subsequently filed suit
against Larcombe ror $4,000 but
the suit has since been allowed to
lapse without action.
Jumped From Fourth Floor.
Miss Rhodes was found barely
conscious and in agony from her
injuries on the pavement in a
court of the Royden apartments,
1919 r street northwest, on the
morning Of January IS, 1923. She
had plunged from the window of
Larcombe's bachelor apartment on
the fourth floor.

which led up to the incident or her
causes for the act were ever re-
