discussing first the possibility Of a
plan providing for the tran sition from
the present economic organization in

tion provided in the Dawes report.
The commission, however, came to
no agreement. deciding instead to ask

PREDICTS DEATH
Of DAWES PLAN
Former RhineIand Commits
sioner Declares U. S. Must
Take Positive Stand.
By the Associated Press.


ONEIDA. N. Y. July 1S.-Pierrepont
B. Noyes. who was Rhineland COM
missioner for the United States. YES
terday predicted the doom of the
Dawes report and a deadlock between
France and Germany unless the
United States representative at the
coming conference Of premiers in Lon
don is instructed by the government
to inform France that the United
states desires that country to give
up It's 1ndependent policy in the Ruhr.
MI. NoyeS' statements are contained
in letter written by him to Charles
G. Dawes, made public here.
Needs Positive Action.
"The Dawes report can be saved only
by positive official word from the
American representative at the Lon
don conference" Mr.. Noyes wrote.
Your new relation to the Republican
party entities you to urge upon the
administration that Ambassador Kel-
logg. at the London conference,
abandon that half-hearted attitude
that has been imposed upon all our
representatives in Europe during the
past four years and state plainly to
France that the United States be
lieves the time has come for that
country to give up her Independent
policy and make such concessions as
are necessary to get together with
Great Britain in an honest and effec-
tive attempt to put into operation the
Dawes plan
Mr.. Noyes added that he had re
luctantly arrived at the conclusion
that your plan is about to go into
the discard along with the many pre-
vious plans for settlement of the
Franco German feud," adding that
1.-The death of the Dawes plan may be
graceful and gradual. but unless some
new factor intervenes it seems GER
tain"
"The American people have set
their hearts on the success of the
Dawes plan." Mr.. Noyes continued.
'-rhey will be shocked at my state
ment and many will be incredulous.
/ firmly believe, however. / am right.
The conference of premiers in Lon
don faces an unsurmountable OBJ
stacle. Herriot cannot agree to
share with Great Britain and Italy
the power she now has in the repara- :
tion commission to independently
Britain. on the other hand. cannot
agree to join France in enforcing
penalties against Germany If she has
no voice in decreeing those penalties.
Again. if Premier Herriot were to
weaken Poincare and the military
party would break him."
After suggesting that the Repub-
lican vice presidential candidate urge
the administration to instruct Am
bassador Kellogg to call upon France
to abandon its independent policy"
the letter concludes:
THE present Washington admin
istration has, in it's platform, as
sumed much credit for the work you
did in Europe. 1t is only right and
proper that it should now back up
that work. Such action would today
be recognized by the American people
as a master stroke for peace and for
economic revival in Europe, SO badly
needed in the interest of the farmer
and of all business in America"

Edible Birds Nests
Found in Great Caues

Far up in the great limestone caves
of North Borneo are found, glued to
the sides in hundreds of thousands,
the edible birds nests so loved by
Chinese epicures for making soup.
The nests are built by species of
caye-haunting swifts which breeds in
colonies. They are formed not, as the
natives believe, from sea foam, but
from a glutinous substance produced
from the large salivary glands of the
birds themselves.
There are two kinds of nests. the
white and the black. The white nests
are clean and semi-transparents the
fine threads of which they are inter-
woven being not unlike those of a
shredded wheat cake
The black nests are discolored and
have grass and feathers mixed with
them. The black nests predominate,
but the white, from which the best
soup is made, fetch from ten to fifteen
times as much as the others.

The coal is said to be equal to, il
not better than, the best Cardiff

deposits prove to be economically
workable they will be great boon to

Visitors to Lincoln's tomb are in

by year. Lincoln lovers believe this
tells a graphic story of his growth in
public estimation. Visitors increased
from 10000 in 1921 to about 10000 in
1922.
An even greater indication of the
increasing stature Of Lincoln here in
his own country is to be found in the
additions to the Lincoln collections.
Two years ago there were about 200
items in the collection of relics and
mementoes at the tomb. Today there
are upward of 10000, and thesnumber
,, is growing daily as articles come in

German submarines in foreign waters
The portrait of Lincoln reproduced
herewith is called the artists choice, "
having been selected by them as the
most artistic photograph as well as
one of the truest likenesses.
The tablet on which two Fighting
Daughters" are placing wreath was
erected by the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution at Council Bluffs, Ia.
At the top is this sentiment, "Whose
crown was love, whose throne was
gentleness." The tablet recites: "This
monument is to commemorate the visit
of Abraham Lincoln to Council Bluffs
August 10, 1865 From this point he
viewed the extensive panorama of the
valley of the Missouri river and in
compliance with the law of congress
on November II, 1863, he selected this
city as the eastern terminus Of the
Union Pacific railroad"
This tablet has significance beyond
| that of the occasion it commentaries !:
"This is the spot farthest west
in the United States that the foot
of Lincoln trod." So, when the
Woman's Relief corps of the G. A. r..
in Denver wished to pay its homage
last fall 1t fastened a bronze tablet
containing the Gettysburg address to
one of the columns of the Colorado
statehouse, by special permission of
the legislature Lincoln's foot had
never pressed the soil of the Centen-
NAL state, admitted 20 the Union
more than a decade after his death.
Lincoln, the Savior of His Coun-
try" never saw more than half of
the country he saved. One would give
much to know his thoughts on that
August day of 1858 in Council Bluffs
as he surveyed the western half of
that extensive panorama" For he
stood upon the western edge of the
western fringe of states. In August
of 1858 there were but thirty stars on
the Flag, and Minnesota's statehood
was only three months old. In all the
vast expanse between the Missouri
and the Pacific there were but two
states, California and Texas, with
Oregon to be admitted the following
February. In the immediate fore
ground were the territory of Mime
sofa, the territory of Nebraska, the
territory of Kansas, Indian territory.
West of these were the territories of
Washington, Utah and New Mexico.
Did Lincoln, in his minds eye, foresee
even a part of what this vast aggrega-
ton of territories was to become in
the next half-century? Never doubt
it, for his was the vision of the seer.
No doubt there were winged thoughts
in that mighty brain, for that August
day of 1858 was set in parlous times
when history was making fast In
1854 the Kansas-Nebraska bill had
been passed, bringing in its wake the
civil war in Kansas and the Repub-
lican party. That year 1858 was the
