Senator Reed, Elated Ouer Dauis' Speech,
 Wiu Support Ticket
Missourian Disagrees With Davis Views On
 Certain International Problems, But Thinks
 Pledge" Of Non-Entry Into League Pending Approval Of Course By People Is sfactory

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 12.- James A. Reed, United Senator from Missouri, will support the democratic ticket, state and national, he declared in statement here today.
 Senator Reed, who is recovering from an illness of several weeks, made the statement after he had read the address of John W. Davis, accepting the demo- cratic presidential nomination and after he had been asked whether there was any truth to rumors that he would not support the ticket.
 The Missouri senator said that al- thought he did not agree with Mir. Davis views on certain international problems, he understood from the presi- dential nominee's address that he pledges there will be no entrance into the league of nations until the people have, by a vote, approved such a course"
 MT. Reed said that with that atti- tude, l am content"
 The statement continues:
 T intend to support the democratic ticket, state and national. There was never the slightest reason to doubt my position. The rumorsJyou refer to orig mated in the imagination or malice of some one who desired to injure me or the party.

THURSDAY JUMP . TO GREENLAND
 IS PLIERS PLAN
Airmen Hope To Land On Coast Instead Of Risk
 ing Open Sea
By OTIS PEABODY SWIFT fI.aassd Wire to Age.Heraldl

REYKJAvIK, Iceland, Aug, 12.- overjoyed at the prospect O. breaking their tedious stay here and spanning another lap in the race for home, the American world fliers are husytng themselves now fin preparation for .a getaway before the end of this week. If nresent plans do not mIscarry, the airmen hope they will be winging their way to Greenland Thursday.
 Both the aviators and the American naval men here are arranging For re- sumption of the flight, following ad- vices that thes Danish supply steamer, the Gertrude Rask, has arrived safely at A1agnlagsaliks on the east Yeast os
 reenlayid and repurss that the coaess q waters at that point are eofnparasiyels free of ice..
 Several precautions must be taken before Lieutenants Lowell Smith and Eric Nelson hop off on the next leg of their journey. A string of destroy CTS must be stationed between here and Greenland, to guard the Aiers route. Lieutenant Nelson's plane, which is still ashore on the coast here, must be launched and spare airpIane parts must be loaded aboard the cruiser Richmond from the base here. These details will be arranged within the next A hours.
 Lieutenant Smith and Rear Admiral Magruder, commander of the patrol fleet. conferred Tuesday afternoon, mapping out the next leg of the flight, while the destroyers prepared to leave for their posts as soon as possible.
 In view of the reports of open wa ter at Angmagsalik, the fliers hope they will be able to land on the coast there, instead of risking a landing in the open sea, or travelling much long CT route to Ivigtut, at the southern most tip of Greenland.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-13

carefully read the address of Mir. Davis. Upon all domestic questions, it tracts with established democratic politics, is admirably stated and is perfectly sound.
 "As is well known, do not agree with Mir. Davis on certain international problems. However, as I understand his speech, it amounts to this, that he re- gards entrance into the league of na- tions as a purely non-political question, and that he pledges there will be no entrance into the league until the peo- pie have, by a vote, approved such course. With that attitude, am con- tent.
 When the question is submitted I will be found ready to maintain my po- sition in the senate and in public forums.
 ''As the case stands see no reason why all democrats may not vote the ticket and settle their differences over matters international when they are duly submitted for their decision.
 "The important thing is to place our party in control in the state and in the nation in order that the great policies of the party may be carried out"

If the railroads balk at pay ing 75 per cent of the cost of placing viaducts over the tracks at Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth stre cts, the city will withdraw from the conference scheduled for Au- gust 23 and proceed with it's own plans, which call for three underpasses and one viaA duct.
 This was the determined at titude of commission members Tuesday, with signs multiply ing that the railroads will meet these terms, thus insur- ing a start on actual com struction work by rnid-winter.
 City Engineer 4. q Hawkins de- caenea the city stiH feela its undsfpasH plan ls superior to fhe com promise plan tentatively agreed on, but that conces- sions were made iil order to avoid sev- eral years of litigation.
 Could Pay 25 Per Cent
 'T have recommended" Mir. Haw- kins said, against assumption by the city of more than 9 per cent of the cost. The railroads created the cross ing evils and should be made to bear the brunt of the cost Of eliminating them"
 The city, at Mondays joint confer ence, offered to pay 25 per cent of the cost of the Eighteenth street viaduct, and 25 per cent of the cost of the Twenty-fourth street span, together with property damage on the latter street.
 seThe city feels that this proposition is fair, Street Commissioner W. D.. Dickson said. He was hopeful that the railroad would approve this cost split and close the deal at the next confer ence.
 The railroads, in the estimation of Commissioner Dickson, do not intend to remedy the situation at the Twen- tieth street crossing. He said the city. later on, would call for relief at this point.
 Meeting August &S
 elf the tentative plan decided on Monday goes through" said Dickson, ''the city's needs for eight or ten years will be cared for. These two viaducts win be far better than four or five years of litigation. Eventually, the crossings at Twentieth and Fourteenth streets can be protected"
 Dickson, together with President R. I. Ingalls, of the Chamber of Commerce, and Col. L. l.. Morton, special engineer of the Louisville and Nashville rail- road, compose a committee that will make recommendations on August 23 as to the division of costs. The mem bers will make their findings indi- Vidually.
 According to Dickson, the attitude of the railroads at Mondays conference was pleasing. He expressed belief that all details will be adjusted at the next meeting. Meanwhile, he pointed out, the city is surrendering none of it's legal rights to later demand relief at Four teenth and Twentieth streets.

 10 CAMP ROUTINE
First Day Of Strenuous Training Is Com-
 pleted
By Staff Correspondent.

CAMP MCCLELLAN, Ala, Aug. 12. -(Special.) With all preliminary ar, engagements completed, the annual en- campment of the Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana national guard units will settle down tomorrow to the routine of camp life. The city of tents was the scene of many activities today, but nothing of importance was done during the day. Every man has now located his quarters and the track is clear from now on until the end of the en- campment August 25.
 There has not been a serious illness or accident reported to camp officers since the 5000 men came to the camp yesterday.
 Starting with the awakening blast of the bugle this morning, the guards started out on a day of strenuous training and playing. The first parade of the encampment was staged at four o'clock this afternoon on the Camp Mcclellan parade grounds. Major John B. Stratford, of Montgomery, reviewed the First Battalion, 167th Infantry, Thirty-first Division of which he is commanding. This contingent of Ala bama troops made a wonderful show ing, considering the amount of training in which they have indulged since ar rival at the camp.
 Composing the battalion are A com pany, commanded by Captain R. B.. Tullis; headquarters company, com manded by First Lieutenant John A. Schneider; B. company, commanded by Captain M. P. Jones; c company, commanded by Captain E. R. Jones, and D company, commanded by Cap tain Edwin Jones.
 Companis A and B and headquarters company are all three from Montgom- cry.
 The battalion band furnished splen- did music as the southern guards, rep resenting the youth of the south, passed in review before their lea~ers. One of the most impressive ceremonies of army camp life is the evening mounting of the guard. Tuesday evening company pulled the guard. This is a very formal ceremony, and is accompanied usually with military music.
